I picked up a piece of Heishun tablet and rolled it between my fingers. The rich aroma of medicinal herbs hit my nostrils.
This batch of goods is indeed as my uncle said. It is large, thick, and shiny in color. It is a rare product.
"Uncle, I can trust this quality." I patted the dust on my hands and stood up.
"This time I want fifty kilograms first, and a steady supply of one hundred kilograms every month from now on, what do you think?"
Humbo nodded: "No problem! I'll keep it for you from now on!"
I took out the cigarette and handed it over, "But there is a condition. It must be given to me first in the future and cannot be resold to other people."
I paused when I took the cigarette and said, "But if someone else offers a higher price..."
I took advantage of the situation and answered, "My price is already high enough. You can do the math. A long-term stable transaction is more cost-effective than selling in pieces." Ah, Xiao Chen wants to cooperate with you for a long time. If you can find a regular market for this batch of medicinal materials, won't you worry about it in the future?" Uncle Tang took out his lighter and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and squinted through the smoke.
半晌，他才开口：「成！就冲你这份诚意，这批黑顺片以后只供你一家！」
「合作愉快。」我伸出手与他重重一握。
At this time, Mrs. Lin leaned out of the kitchen wearing an apron: "What can't we talk about after dinner? The dishes are almost cold!"
Uncle Tang slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory! Let's go and eat first. I still have two bottles of good wine hidden at home!" I stopped him with a smile and said, "Don't bother, I have it ready in the car." Father Lin's face darkened when he heard this, probably thinking that I was going to take out his two bottles of Maotai to entertain the guests.
I took out two bottles of Wuliangye from the trunk: "I brought this specially for my uncle. I heard you like it."
My uncle's eyes suddenly lit up: "This wine is not cheap! Normally I would not bear to buy such an expensive one."
< br/> Father Lin relaxed his brows and patted his uncle on the shoulder cheerfully: "Thanks to you today, I will also try this good wine."
At the dinner table, my uncle couldn't wait to fill up the wine glass, took a sip, and squinted his eyes to reflect: "It smells good! It's such a good wine!"
With a rosy face, he gave me a chicken drumstick, "If you want any medicinal materials in the future, just tell me, I will leave the best for you!"
Mother Lin smiled and added a bowl of soup: "Look at how happy your uncle is, this wine is more appetizing to him than the food."
After a few glasses of wine, my uncle started talking.
He gestured towards Lin Xiaoqing with a red face: "Girl, you must learn from your brother-in-law! He is a man who does big things, and a little bit of business between his fingers will last you a lifetime!"
Lin Xiaoqing was eating the food and pouted when she heard this: "Uncle, I'm still in school now!"
"What's wrong with going to school? Don't you have to find a job and make money after graduation?" Her uncle put the wine glass on the table.
I interrupted him at the right time, "Young people now have their own way of life. If Xiaoqing wants to learn how to do business in the future, I will definitely teach her."
Mother Lin also spoke up: "That's right, the child is still studying. What are you talking about all day long."
Mr. Lin wanted to say something else, but Father Lin held down the wine glass: "Okay, third brother, let the child eat well."
Father Lin winked at Lin Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, send your uncle back, and hold him on the road."
When the two figures disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Father Lin turned around and closed the gate.
He slowly walked back to the dining table, picked up the cigarette box on the table and shook out a cigarette, but did not light it.
"Xiao Chen," he suddenly said.
"To tell you the truth, I have been doing the black porn movies with my third brother in the past few years."
I raised my head and met Father Lin's hesitant gaze.
When he saw that I didn't answer, he added: "Actually, I have handled more medicinal materials in our area than Lao San."
It turned out that the rightful owner had listened to the words he had just praised his uncle at the dinner table.
I handed him the lighter, "You told me earlier."
Father Lin finally lit the cigarette: "We are all from our own family, so the wealth should not flow to outsiders."
I have already started to think about it. Since Father Lin took the initiative to speak, I am afraid it is time to talk about the source of the medicinal materials again.
"Since I have the goods, I will definitely give priority to you, but I don't know how much you can stably supply?" I am worried about not having enough.
Father Lin said calmly: "I can't take away all of Laosan's business at once, and I have to pay about two or three kilograms every month."
"Price is not the issue, the key is to ensure the quality." I don't know the medicinal materials yet, and I don't know yet.
Father Lin responded: "Don't worry, I'll check it myself!"
"By the way, uncle, sooner or later the wild ones will be harvested, would you consider planting them?"
Father Lin nodded knowingly, "I'll study it!"
At this time, Lin Xiaoqing's clear voice came from outside the courtyard door and came closer: "Dad, brother-in-law, I sent my cousin home!"
I checked the time on my phone: "It's getting late, I have to go to the hotel in town to check in."
Lin's father immediately waved his hand: "Which hotel should I stay in? Xiaoyu's room has always been empty, and the quilts are all freshly made."
Lin Xiaoqing immediately objected after hearing this, "Then what? Okay! My brother-in-law is staying in my sister’s room, where can I sleep?”
Father Lin scolded: “Why don’t you go to your Aunt Cui’s house to stay overnight? Isn’t the west wing of her house always empty?”
“Let me stay overnight again!” Lin Xiaoqing walked out, wiping her hands and making a face at me.
"Brother-in-law, you see, my dad is partial."
I was a little embarrassed: "How about I go to town!"
"Don't listen to this girl." Father Lin glared at his daughter.
"She and Aunt Cui's Xiaojuan are so good that they are inseparable. They want to run to her house every day."
Lin Xiaoqing chuckled: "That's right, Xiaojuan just bought a projector, and I just happened to go to her house to watch a horror movie tonight!"
She said and skipped to the door, "Brother-in-law, you can do whatever you want."
Looking at her cheerful back, Father Lin helplessly said Shaking his head: "This girl is still so childish even though she is in college."
He led me to the inner room, "Although Xiaoyu doesn't come back often, her mother cleans this house every week."
It was not the first time that I spent the night at Lin Xiaoyu's house, so I stopped refusing.
After washing, I lay down on Lin Xiaoyu’s bed to rest.
This time when I came to the Lin family, in addition to discussing the medicinal material business, the more important thing was to go into the Shuangyang Mountains to look for Cynomorium cynomorium.
This medicinal material is related to my own life. The last search was unsuccessful. It seems that I have to search deeper in the mountains and in more dangerous places.
While thinking about it, I fell asleep and was not woken up by the alarm until early the next morning.
I was about to get up and prepare to go into the mountains. Mother Lin, who was making breakfast, saw me getting up and asked, "Xiao Chen, why did you get up so early and didn't you get a little more sleep?"
"I forgot to tell you yesterday, I'm going to go into the mountains!" I went to the car to get the equipment for going into the mountains.
