hunting in 1986

Chapter 32
Autumn in Lindu is very short. After entering September, it was hot for a few days, and then the weather turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Yuan was riding a bicycle, driving fast on the dirt road in the mountains and forests, occasionally meeting a bullock cart walking slowly towards the city.

The big yellow ox walked very slowly, flicking its tail lightly to drive away the gadfly. The old farmer was sitting by the shaft wearing a straw hat, occasionally waving his whip.

Wang Yuan knew that some buses ran very slowly, so he felt that the bullock cart could be compared with the bus.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"I'll go to the village." The old farmer looked at Wang Yuan with a smile on his face, probably wondering who Wang Yuan was.

Well, Wang Yuan didn't know him either.

He walked fast all the way, and when he came to the state-owned store in the city, he was so tired that he gasped.

The male employee of the state-run store knew him and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to buy or sell?"

He remembered that Wang Yuan sold bear bile and ginseng with the adults, and he was very impressed, because there were very few rural people who came to the city's state-owned stores to sell things.

Most rural people will not go to the city.

"Comrade, I'm here to buy ginseng."

Wang Yuan took out a ginseng bun from his back basket. Inside the ginseng bun was the five-leaf ginseng. He had prepared well, suppressed his excitement, and wanted to hear what price the other party could offer.

Untie the red string, open the ginseng bun wrapped in birch bark and moss, and a thin ginseng plant is exposed.

The ginseng beard is more than 70 centimeters long, and a smell of earth hits the face.

"This is...five leaves!? Little brother, wait a moment, I'll call our supervisor."

The supervisor is a middle-aged woman with a mole on the corner of her mouth. She was also very surprised when she saw this five-leaf ginseng tree. There are ginseng in Xiaoxing'an Mountains, but the reserves of ginseng are far less than those in Changbai Mountain.

"It weighs 2.1 taels. Because it is five leaves, it is much more expensive than four leaves, but the shape is average..." The female supervisor looked at Wang Yuan while speaking, and finally said slowly:
"2600 yuan, what about my little brother, I will invoice you right away."

"Don't don't..."

"What's the matter, 2600 yuan is too little?"

The female supervisor was instantly displeased. If this ginseng plant could be brought up, she felt that Deputy Mayor Liu, who is also in charge of the state-owned store, would also look at her highly.

"It's not too little, but I want to go home and discuss it with my family." Wang Yuan quickly took the ginseng back, wrapped it in ginseng buns and went out.

"Hey, little brother, don't go away, fresh ginseng is very easy to spoil, once broken, it's worthless... I'll add another 200 yuan to you, how about 2800 yuan..."

Unfortunately, Wang Yuan walked out of the state-run store with a firm attitude.

"The employees of the state-run store are all regular workers, so that's the owner, who is so arrogant that he would take the initiative to raise the price now?" Wang Yuan felt a little strange.

It's just that he still feels that the price given by the state-run store is too low.

He didn't know how much this ginseng plant was worth, but based on the impression in his mind, he felt that the prices purchased by state-owned stores were always lower than the market price.

For example: State-run stores buy Feilong, 4 yuan/piece.

Li Hang bought his flying dragon for 50 yuan each.

It is true that Li Hang's family is an end consumer and the family is not short of money, but Wang Yuan doesn't think Li Hang is a fool.

The price of 50 yuan per dragon was proposed by Li Hang.

In 1986, there was already the term "market price", and the State Council approved industrial production materials in 1984, and the excess part could be sold within 20% of the price increase.

And last year, that is, in 1985, the State Council canceled the 20% price increase regulation, and the excess part was sold at the market price.

In the past, there were "plans" for logging in forest farms, and the prices were almost fixed. Now the prices of "exceeding" logs are not fixed, and they are completely in accordance with market prices. The price of pine logs has started to soar. This is what Wang Yuan feels personally. of.

The purchase price of state-run stores is the "planned" price, not the market price. Wang Yuan feels that selling things at the planned price is a disadvantage.

"There is no rush to sell ginseng. It's too hard to find this thing. It would be good to find more buyers and ask more questions...Okay, let's go to Li Hang's house for a while."

Wang Yuan deeply felt that he had very few friends, and he didn't know much about this era. He was not from this era in his previous life. Fortunately, he still had a space, which helped him a lot.

Taking out two big mandarin fishes, Wang Yuan rode to Li Hang's house. The doorman had accepted a pack of cigarettes from him before, but now he is much more enthusiastic.

dong dong dong~
After coming upstairs, he directly knocked on the door, squeak~ Li Hang opened the door.

"Yuanzi, are you here? Come in."

"Hey~ I brought two big mandarin fish over here."

"Oh, I haven't eaten mandarin fish for a while."

Li Hang was very happy. He took the two mandarin fishes to the kitchen, let Wang Yuan sit on the sofa, and opened the refrigerator to get him ice cream.

Wang Yuan has been here several times, and each time they would chat for a while, Li Hang found that Wang Yuan was very different from other ordinary youths, for example——Wang Yuan was very optimistic about the future of Shenzhen.

Li Hang's father had been to Shenzhen, but he didn't have a good opinion of the latter, or he was rather hesitant. Li Hang himself was very interested in Shenzhen, and his thoughts were more or less influenced by his father.

Not to mention the rural people, but many urban people are confused about Shenzhen, but Wang Yuan is very optimistic about Shenzhen, and some of the things he said are quite reasonable.

"Aren't your parents at home?"

"Yes, my parents have gone to the mine."

Li Hang gave the fish money to Wang Yuan, who was not polite and just took it away.

Li Hang's father owns a coal mine in Hegang, and is an authentic mine owner.

Is private contracting of coal mines allowed in this era?Wang Yuan didn't understand either, whether it was completely private, or joint operation, affiliation, collective ownership and other messy things, Wang Yuan didn't quite understand either.

There are not so many entertainment activities in this era. Many people like to read newspapers to pass the time. After reading, old newspapers can be used to wrap things, origami airplanes, paste wall joints, paste windows and so on.

Li Hang's family also had a lot of newspapers. While watching TV and eating ice cream, the two chatted about the content of the newspapers. Li Hang found that Wang Yuan had his own opinions on many things in the newspapers, rather than being muddled.

"By the way, I also brought a plant of wild ginseng. Contact me to see if I can find a buyer. I'll treat you to dinner after selling the ginseng!" Wang Yuan laughed.

"Wild ginseng? Let me see."

"It's inside this ginseng bun."

Wang Yuan opened the ginseng bun.Looking at the wild ginseng, Li Hang muttered, "It's so small, it's much smaller than the planted ginseng. Wild ginseng is so small?"

"There are also big ones, seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures, but there are too few big wild ginseng." Wang Yuan closed the ginseng buns again, and tied them carefully with a red string.

Li Hang promised to help find a buyer, and then Wang Yuan played around Li Hang's house for a while, then left by bicycle.

After buying some fried cakes, old-fashioned chicken cakes, furnace fruit and 5 catties of pork on the way, Wang Yuan rode his bicycle home.

It was already afternoon when he got home.

The little girl was squatting on the ground looking at the chicken cubs, when she saw Wang Yuan, she ran over with short legs: "Second brother!!"

"I bought you fried cakes, you can eat."

"Yeah, hee hee~ Second brother, you are so kind." The little girl was very happy when she had something delicious.

After stroking the little girl's head, Wang Yuan walked into the house, telling him that Grandma Man was at his home, and she came to act as a matchmaker, and introduced a big girl to Wang Yuan.

"Huh? Blind date? I..."

Standing in the back room, Wang Yuan looked at his parents, grandparents, and grandma Man, and was instantly stunned on the spot.
