After the disaster

This time, it was two middle-aged couples who came to find Qiu Cheng. Shen Xing had mentioned it to Qiu Cheng before.

The two couples had already decided to sell their house when they heard the news from the South. Later, they read the news and heard that it was not a big deal. I want to talk to Qiu Cheng about the price again, and I hope Qiu Cheng can speak better than Shen Xing.

"There's no need to talk about the price, but since you're here tonight, I'll buy your house first when I get cornmeal."

The reason why Qiu Cheng handed over the purchase of the house to Shen Xing was because he thought it was troublesome and wanted to hide away. If he started this way today, everyone would know that he was easier to talk to than Shen Xing, and everyone would go over Shen Xing to find him. The days of cleanliness are coming to an end.

"What? You don't have cornmeal now?" One of the homeowners was anxious when he heard that Qiu Cheng didn't have cornmeal now. Now there are many people in the whole country who want to make money from Chinese herbal medicine. After a long time, the day lily is cold.

"Before I heard that you didn't plan to sell the house, I invested all the cornmeal in the fish farming factory." Qiu Cheng said.

"So when are you going to get cornmeal?" another homeowner asked.

"About a week or so." In two days, the rice on the fifteenth floor will be ready to be harvested. At that time, it will have to be dried and husked, and it will take about a week before it is replaced with cornmeal.

"Can you hurry up? We need the cornmeal urgently." A week is still too long for them. Could they just sit at home for a week and watch others make a lot of money by dumping Chinese herbal medicines?

"I'll think of a way." That's all Qiu Cheng could say now.

In the end, the two couples each signed a contract with Qiu Cheng, and repeatedly told Qiu Cheng that if he raised cornmeal, he should quickly find them to trade and transfer ownership, and then left Jiayuan Community.

After sending off the visitor, Qiu Cheng kept the two contracts.Then he took a few flour sacks out of the kitchen cabinet. These days they sell chili sauce, and they have already saved dozens of catties of cornmeal, which is almost enough to buy a house.

However, Qiu Cheng didn't tell the two couples just now. If he did, the two couples just now would have another dispute. Cheng finds it troublesome, besides, the fish farming factory has a lot of expenses every day, and they also have to prepare some food at home.

After ordering the cornmeal, Qiu Cheng thought about what else he could sell at home recently.

The rice will not be available for sale for another week or so, and the few people just now seemed to be in a hurry. If they had to wait for a week, it would really kill them.Although they stretched Qiu Cheng a lot in order to bargain at the beginning, now it was their turn to be anxious, but Qiu Cheng did not find any pleasure from such a role exchange.

These days, the life of most people is very difficult. Now, seeing that the entire Chinese herbal medicine industry in the country is about to develop, these people are eager to ask him to sell their houses, just to use those cornmeal as their capital to fight fight.

Although Qiu Cheng himself has no intention of getting involved in the trading of Chinese herbal medicines, it is undeniable that the current situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people.

Under such circumstances, Qiu Cheng really couldn't do anything to watch them do anxious things.

It was too late for the rice, and Qiu Cheng didn't plan to sell the soybeans. After selling a batch of fermented bean curd last time, there wasn't much that could be sold at present, but those ginger and garlic upstairs were just in time to be harvested.

Qiu Cheng planned to keep the garlic for his own use, but the ginger could be sold. It just so happened that among the several Chinese herbal medicines announced in the news, there was dried ginger, and the price of ginger would definitely increase in the future.

After thinking about it, Qiu Cheng found Boss Bai's business card and called him.

"Hey, Xiao Qiu, did you get the rice?" In the provincial capital, Boss Bai thought that he had got the rice when he heard that his younger brother Qiu Cheng had called him.

"I don't have any rice yet, but I brought back some ginger. I'll call Brother Bai to see if you can accept it." Qiu Cheng said.

"Ginger? How much is there?" Boss Bai was really interested when he heard that it was ginger.

Since the news was broadcast, the prices of those few Chinese herbal medicines in their provincial capital have gone up crazily. The prices of some of them have even reached shocking levels. The risk is obviously very high. If Qiu Cheng has the goods, although the quantity should not be too much, at least it is much safer.

"It's only a few dozen catties." Qiu Cheng said.

"Well, maybe the day after tomorrow, a truck under my hand will pass by Xinnan City, and I will let them go and have a look at it." Boss Bai said.

"Okay." Qiu Cheng agreed.

"Then where is the transaction?" Boss Bai asked.

"It's right at the gate of Xinnan University." Qiu Cheng said.

"Okay, the exact time is still hard to determine, I'll call you when the time comes."

Early the next morning, Qiu Chengcheng and Ah Chang collected the ginger on the fifteenth floor, dug the ginger out of the soil, washed it, and put it on the top floor to dry in the sun.

Another day later, Boss Bai made a phone call to Qiu Cheng's house and agreed on a specific trading time, seven o'clock in the evening.

When Qiu Cheng and A Chang arrived at the gate of Xinnan University with those gingers, it was already dark, and Lao Hu and his stall had already been closed.

Qiu Cheng found that the other party had arrived earlier than himself. Five or six men, some young and some old, came driving a large truck. The truck was parked on the side of the road next to the gate of Xinnan University. At that time, I saw many medicine seedlings on the truck, and some packed in sacks, probably processed Chinese herbal medicines.

Looking at the medicine seedlings, Qiu Chengcheng knew that these medicines should have been transported from the southwest region.But counting the days, from the time the news was broadcast to the present, it seems that the time between them is not enough for them to travel to the southwest region. Qiu Cheng guessed that Boss Bai and the others should have gotten the news in advance.

"How about your ginger? Let me see the goods first." A middle-aged man with a slightly bald head got out of the car and said to Qiu Cheng.

When Qiu Cheng heard this, he lifted the ginger sack from the tricycle and opened it for him to inspect.

The man first picked up a piece of ginger and looked it over, then put it under his nose to smell it, then broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Tsk, this tastes quite good, how about sixteen catties of cornmeal and one catty of ginger?" The middle-aged man offered Qiu Cheng a price after tasting the ginger.

"Only sixteen catties?" Qiu Cheng was not particularly satisfied with the price. Now that ginger is listed on the medicine list, it should be more than this price.

"Don't think it's less. Compared with other Chinese herbal medicines, dried ginger is too common. By then, there may not be many that are actually used for medicine. It is also risky for us to take it back at this price. If we sell it at that time If you don't go out, you have to fall into your own hands." The middle-aged man said to Qiu Cheng.

"Sixteen catties is fine, and you can give me another eucommia sapling on the truck." When Qiu Cheng just glanced over the truckload of various Chinese herbal medicine seedlings, he felt faint spiritual fluctuations. The fluctuation of spiritual power is much more obvious than that of ordinary vegetation.

"Oh, that's not acceptable. Those saplings, apart from anything else, cost so much diesel to transport them all the way from the southwest. How can they be your boss?" The middle-aged man couldn't do it.

"I want the small one, the one in the corner." Qiu Cheng pointed to the eucommia sapling in the corner of the truck.

Eucommia is an arbor, and the saplings of ordinary Eucommia trees, even if they are not tall and straight, are very stretched, but the one Qiu Cheng likes is not the case, it grows crookedly, looks malnourished, and the bark on its body is also very stretched. It's not smooth, it looks lumpy, and there are a few vines wrapped around the branches.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and finally agreed: "Well, it's because your gingers are really good."

In fact, the eucommia sapling that Qiu Cheng took a fancy to, and the other saplings that looked weaker were all given to them by local farmers when they were buying saplings in the southwest, free of charge.

After the transaction between the two parties was completed, these people started the truck and left. Ah Chang looked at the tall, big and impressive truck with envy on his face.

"Don't look, we will buy one in a few days." Qiu Cheng has not forgotten that he promised Ah Chang to buy a car.

"Like that?" Ah Chang asked.

"Smaller than theirs." Qiu Cheng said.

"Oh." Ah Chang didn't feel disappointed, and happily squatted on the back of the tricycle, letting Qiu Cheng drive him home.

Riding a tricycle back to Jiayuan Community, Qiu Cheng and A Chang first took turns to carry the cornmeal to 1406, and then carried the eucommia sapling to 1402, temporarily planting it in a wooden basket in [-].

After planting it, Qiu Cheng used his spiritual power to carefully examine this eucommia sapling, and found that it was quite old, at least 30 to [-] years old, probably because the environment it grew in was too harsh in the past. This eucommia tree still looks like a sapling until now.

The reason why this eucommia tree caught Qiu Cheng's attention was because of its fluctuations in spiritual power, which reminded Qiu Cheng of the spiritual wood mentioned in "Wood Repair Notes".

Now, what Qiu Cheng hopes is that this eucommia tree will not start to twitch crazily because of the improvement of the environment. You must know that the height of their floors is only more than three meters, which is not enough for an arbor to grow freely.
