NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6 I can’t bear the blame after staying for a while
Think about the price of wild ginseng in later generations ╰(*°▽°*)╯.
It’s definitely not possible now━(￣ー￣*|||━━!
Gu Zishu calmed down and sat drinking tea and eating, waiting for the old man to handle the matter.
Before the old man could finish processing the ginseng, he heard the sound of a motorcycle outside.
"Dad, I'm back. Where did we get the ginseng here? Are you old and have bad eyesight?" Before anyone came in, a loud voice came.
"You little bastard, don't think I can't hear you saying that your father is blind." Zhang Mingde walked out angrily and pointed at the people outside.
After scolding his son, he remembered that Gu Zishu was still sitting in the room. He turned around and showed a kind smile, "This is my incompetent little son Zhang Jiadong. You can just call him Uncle Zhang." As soon as the old man finished speaking, the people outside the house Walked in.
He has a strong body, well, if he shaves his head and wears a big gold chain, he will be like the bald brother in later generations.
Gu Zishu took one look and stood up immediately, "Uncle Zhang."
"Oh, whose daughter is this?" Zhang Jiadong saw a girl who looked like a paper doll standing behind the burly father.
"My name is Gu Zishu from Lao Yu's family." Zhang Mingde introduced him directly without letting Gu Zishu speak.
"From Lao Yu's family? Your surname is Gu?" Zhang Jiadong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, "It turns out to be from Yu Xiaozi's family. I wonder which family in the village has the surname Gu!"
"The child is still here, why are you giving him such a nickname?" Zhang Mingde was speechless for this inconspicuous son.
"Ahem, that kid is so scheming and has tricked me so many times. What's wrong with giving me a nickname?" Zhang Jiadong muttered.
"I won't tell you so much. Come and take a look at my new ginseng. This is a rare good thing brought by Gu Yatou. It is much better than what your mother usually uses." Zhang Mingde went to the room excitedly to get it. The nearly processed ginseng was taken out.
Zhang Jiadong was very curious, and what he saw was a ginseng with roots that were seven long and eight short. If you look closely at the outside of the ginseng, there are still some small pits. "Is this what you said?"
If his father and Gu Zishu weren't here, he could just turn around and leave. Integrity is also important in doing business. Wouldn't it be a lie to bring this thing out?
"What do you know? Let's smell it before you talk!" Zhang Mingde was really mad at his younger son. He also studied with him for a while, but now he knows nothing about it. What went wrong in the middle?
"Hmm, it smells good.
Xiao Gu, how much do you plan to sell this for? "Zhang Jiadong sniffed and turned to look at Gu Zishu aside.
The look of having sex with Zhang Mingde just now disappeared, and he regained his shrewdness as a businessman.
"Uncle Zhang, I don't know how to do it. Doctor Zhang rescued me from the mountain. I originally gave this ginseng to Doctor Zhang..."
"Don't talk about whether it's a gift or not. I took advantage of it. This pure wild ginseng is not uncommon." Zhang Mingde quickly intercepted Gu Zishu's words.
I was afraid that my son, who was full of business knowledge, would seize the topic.
Zhang Jiadong took a look at Gu Zishu's clothes and said, "Yes, you don't have to be so polite when it comes to gifts. Since you don't understand, let's just follow the market price. Don't be polite to me. I still have money to buy ginseng."
"Dad, please tell me how much it is. I brought all the money!"
Zhang Mingde glanced at his younger son, "I just saw that you were very skillful in what you said. Why don't you even know the price?"
Zhang Jiadong pretended not to see his father's eyes and took out a stack of green hundred-yuan bills from his pocket. It should be several thousand yuan by visual inspection.
People who can easily take out thousands of dollars from their pockets these days show that they have a very strong family background.
"Girl, I'm not cheating on you. Your ginseng doesn't look good. But it's pure wild ginseng, which is not common here. Based on past experience, I'll give you 2000 yuan. Do you think it's okay?" "
90 yuan was a lot of money in the 2000s. In this era, the per capita salary in their small city was just over 200 yuan. 2000 yuan was equivalent to nearly a year's salary for one person.
"Dr. Zhang, you also said that the better the quality, the higher the price. Although I don't know the specific price, I also know that 2000 yuan is not a cheap price. Look at this, let's take a step back. Can 1000 yuan be enough?" Gu Zishu He said sincerely that the old man himself had saved himself, and the price he would give would also take care of himself. He couldn't accept it just like that.
Zhang Jiadong watched with great interest. He had never seen anyone bargaining like this before. The seller bargained downwards and gained experience.
"That's not okay. How can I bully a little girl like you?" Zhang Mingde disagreed. His family did not lack the thousand yuan.
Gu Zishu was short of money, but he had principles. Just because others don't have the money doesn't mean he can take it. "If you don't agree, then give me the ginseng. You dug it out for me on the mountain. If it weren't for you, I would have died there." No more, and the ginseng is gone too.
I took the ginseng and buried it directly in the soil. "
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? If you bury it in the soil, it will spoil. Wouldn't such a good thing be ruined?" Zhang Mingde was worried.
Gu Zishu immediately answered, "Then just listen to me. I don't know how to repay you for saving me. Do you think this ginseng is worth more than my life?"
"Okay, okay, Dad, I think I'll just listen to Xiao Gu." Zhang Jiadong said beside him, and directly counted ten hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Gu Zishu, "Put them away."
"You're such a stubborn girl. Okay, I'll listen to you. Keep the money well and keep it for your schooling." Zhang Mingde explained uneasily.
"Don't worry, I've died once, and I still don't know what to do." Gu Zishu replied with a smile, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go to the city to handle things first. I'll be there in the next two days." Sign up and leave, I will come back to see you after the holidays."
"Where are you going now?" Zhang Mingde asked casually.
"I'm going to the city, to the public security bureau." There was nothing to hide. Gu Zishu believed that Dr. Zhang would not go over and complain to the Yu family.
"Just in time, second son, don't you want to go back to the city and take Gu Yatou for a ride?" Zhang Mingde looked at his shocked second son and wrapped the ginseng in his hand, "Go back and use the ginseng for your mother. You can use half of it as before." Just the amount is enough, wait two days until I have enough medicinal materials before going to see her."
Zhang Jiadong:? ? ? ?
"No, no, I can go back by myself." Gu Zishu quickly refused. She could see the shock on Zhang Jiadong's face, and she couldn't do anything to let the father and son quarrel.
"Dad, it's such a hot day. You didn't even leave me a meal when I came." The tough man was shocked. How gentle his father was when he asked him to bring the money. He also gave me the money and took the ginseng. Just got thrown over the wall.
"How about we go back after lunch, Xiao Gu?"
Gu Zishu nodded quickly. Now that he had money, he could take a car there without giving it away.
"Why are you so busy? Can your father be good at his craftsmanship? Or can you be good at your craftsmanship? Hurry up!" Zhang Mingde didn't spoil his children. Why not just ride a bike at noon? How hot can it be? Back then They also went to work in the fields at noon.
"Gu Yatou is in an emergency. She is waiting to apply for a new certificate to go to school! Can you afford the delay? Just take it easy and send it to your brother's police station." Zhang Mingde explained, "Gu Yatou, don't worry about it. , anyway, your Uncle Zhang will leave sooner or later."
……
Gu Zishu glanced both ways, but after all his arms could no longer twist his thighs, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang, and Uncle Zhang."
Since his own father didn't leave any food, Zhang Jiadong had no choice but to accept his fate. If he stayed for a while longer, he wouldn't know how many pots would be thrown at him!
