Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 44

"You quote a price."

Zhou Qing gritted his teeth silently and prepared himself mentally.

"These are four high-quality wild ginseng. I will sell them to you at 50 yuan per tael, plus 60 industrial coupons. If you accept it, we will weigh and make a deal on the spot."

"Hiss...Every two fifty, right...Come on, let's borrow a scale and weigh it."

Zhou Qing gasped, got up and went to the hotel to borrow the scale.

Zhou Qing had never bought such an expensive thing since he was a child, so he couldn't bear it psychologically.

While Zhou Qing went to borrow the scale, Xu Jichang took out a short knife and cut off the ginseng stems, ginseng leaves, and ginseng seeds.Because ginseng is usually sold as roots, not together with stems and ginseng seeds.

After a while, Zhou Qing returned to his seat with the scale borrowed from the restaurant and began to weigh the ginseng.

"Three, two, seven, six cents, what a heavy weight..."

"Four, two, five, nine cents... My dear, this weight is even more impressive."

……

Zhou Qing exclaimed in a low voice while weighing ginseng.

The final weighing result was that five ginsengs with four leaves totaled 16 taels. Based on the 50 taels offered by Xu Jichang, the total was a total of 830 yuan.

Zhou Qing silently calculated several times in his mind, and did not say a word after repeatedly confirming the result.

Things are good things, he knows how miraculous the effect of four wild ginseng is.

Although it may not be able to save lives at critical moments like the legendary six leaves, it can indeed prolong life.

The problem is that the biggest expense in his past life was to buy a bicycle for 100 yuan, and the price of more than 800 yuan was too shocking for him.

"My father is old now, so he really needs ginseng, but he can't use so much... I think, I'll just buy a couple of ginseng."

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly after looking at the heaviest four-leaf ginseng tree for a while.

"Your Honorable Geng?"

Xu Jichang did not forcefully persuade him, but asked a seemingly unimportant question.

"Over 80, now living in my house."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qing showed pride, "We are five brothers, and he is only willing to live with our family."

"Longevity. And it's really not easy to raise five children during the war-torn era."

Xu Jichang said lightly.

Zhou Qing was stunned by what he said.

When he was a child, there was a war, and his father had endured a lot of hardships, and he would rather starve himself than save the money to feed his brothers.

It's not easy, it's really not easy.

Zhou Qing said sourly in his heart.

Recalling all the things his father raised him back then, and thinking that he is now an octogenarian and has limited mobility, the corners of his eyes were sore for a while, and he turned his eyes to the row of ginseng on the table again: "I bought them all, the old man's body is the most important thing."

These words seemed abrupt, but Zhou Qing's words really touched the softest part of his heart.

More than 800 yuan is a lot, but he can still afford the money by gritting his teeth.As the head of the real power Zhengke, his monthly salary exceeds 100 yuan, which is nothing more than using his old capital.

It's worth spending money to buy more life-prolonging treasures for the elderly.

"With such a filial son, your father will definitely be able to maintain good health in the future."

After Xu Jichang nodded, he sent his blessings.

On the point of filial piety, Xu Jichang expressed his approval to Zhou Qing. After all, not every child is willing to spend so much money for the elderly at home.

"And these ginseng seeds and ginseng leaves on the table are my free gift to you."

"In addition, there are some Panax notoginseng here, and they are all given to you."

The price of panax notoginseng is cheap, and to Xu Jichang, such a low price is regarded as a personal favor, and he will have to discuss with Zhou Qing about the supply of mountain products later on.

"Thank you so much."

Zhou Qing quickly thanked, at this time he saw other medicinal materials from Xu Jichang's bag,

"By the way, Section Chief Xu, you still have Polygonum multiflorum, why don't you sell it to me as well. It costs three yuan a catty, how about it?"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he touched his gray temples.

It is difficult to be the top leader of a large unit, and he is left to worry all day long, which made him premature.

"Come on, let's weigh it."

"Okay, let me weigh it... the total is five catties and six taels, 16 yuan. I will give you the money for Polygonum multiflorum first, and I have to go home for the ginseng money."

After Zhou Qing paid 16 yuan, he left his seat and walked towards the gate of the hotel. After a while, he returned to the hotel with a leather bag in his pocket, and sat down in front of Xu Jichang again.

After looking around to make sure there was no one around, Zhou Qing unzipped the zipper with a "Zi La", took out a thick stack of Unity and Industrial Coupons from inside, and handed it to Xu Jichang: "Click it."

His money came from a clean source, but the money was not exposed, so he had to be careful in public.

After Xu Jichang took the money and the ticket, he nodded quickly, and put it in his trouser pocket after confirming that the number was correct.

Zhou Qing took the money, took out a cloth bag from his purse, and carefully put away the ginseng, making sure not to damage a beard.

A total of 830 yuan, this time really made a fortune.

Xu Jichang put his hands in his pockets, and after feeling the heavy weight of the money for a while, he said excitedly.

Of course, he understood that the meeting with Zhou Qing was only halfway through.

Selling ginseng was only one of Xu Jichang's goals when he approached Zhou Qing this time.Next, he has to have a good talk with Zhou Qing, open up the distribution channel of the power supply station from him, and cultivate customers for his future mountain goods purchase business.

"Director Zhou, when you use ginseng for your family, remember to use the right amount. Too much ginseng may be counterproductive."

After the waiter unsteadily brought a crock pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, Xu Jichang reminded.

"Yeah, thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention."

Zhou Qing agreed while scooping up the soup.

The food and drinks ordered by the two were served one after another, and Xu Jichang and Zhou Qing gradually chatted, mainly talking about the things in his hometown Heixiazi Village.

During the period, Xu Jichang told a few stories about the old generation in the village who went to the mountains in the past. Zhou Qing listened with great interest and drank several drinks with him.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Jichang pretended to ask him a question unintentionally,

"Director Zhou, your power supply station is such a good unit, you should pay a lot of benefits every year."

"Like our county's specialties, what kind of pheasant, Hericium erinaceus, etc., should be able to handle it?"

When Zhou Qing was asked this question, he immediately shook his head helplessly: "Hey, don't mention it. Our unit is struggling to buy things now, so where can we find supplies to give benefits to the employees?"

"Why? Our county is close to the mountains, and the products are so rich, it is reasonable to say that it is not possible."

"It's not all caused by the gang at the buying station,"

Zhou Qing became less cautious when he was slightly drunk, but he still lowered his voice.

"I don't know what evil they have committed. It is said that in recent years, the members of the surrounding villages have been reluctant to sell mountain products from them."

"In this way, when our unit's buyers find the purchasing station, the purchasing station will naturally not be able to sell us anything."

"It's just that our unit has a large number of people and needs a lot, and the sporadic purchases directly connected to the members cannot solve the problem."

"As a result, we had to cancel the traditional mountain goods benefits, and the overall morale of the unit was affected. I was having a headache for this two days ago."

Zhou Qing poured out bitter water by taking advantage of drinking, Xu Jichang's heart moved slightly after hearing this.

Exactly the same as what I observed earlier, the power supply station is also troubled by not being able to find a supply.

Isn't this an opportunity for me to propose cooperation?

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

"Director Zhou, there are really not many leaders who care about employees like you."

"I admire a leader like you very much. Come, let's have another drink."

"Come on, do it."

After speaking, the two raised their wine cups and drank another glass.

After finishing the drink, Xu Jichang put down his wine glass and said slowly, "Director Zhou, actually there is still a way to solve the issue about the welfare of mountain goods."

Zhou Qing showed curiosity: "What method? Section Chief Xu, please tell me."
