Chapter 163 One Dinner
Manager Yang only needed a breath to think before his face broke into a wide smile, and he invited the two sisters to the backyard to discuss the matter.
This was Lin Chunyi's second visit to the hall in the backyard of Jishetang.
The hall is great! Last time we sold ginseng, this time we're selling lingzhi. One visit and we make a fortune!
"It's cold in winter, ladies, please have some hot tea to warm yourselves up," said Manager Yang politely.
The tea in the exquisite porcelain vessel, carved with blue floral patterns, was still steaming. But they had no interest in admiring it, nor did they want to drink it.
After all, they had already spent the whole afternoon drinking tea at Mingya Restaurant!
No matter how fragrant this tea is, I can't drink it anymore.
"Thank you, Manager Yang." Lin Chunyi picked up the teacup and lightly touched it to her lips to indicate that she had drunk the tea.
Lin Lanshan is the same.
When a valuable item is about to be sold, who is more impatient to wait? It's either the seller who's eager to cash out, or the buyer who wants to make the purchase as soon as possible.
Clearly, they had no trouble selling the Ganoderma lucidum, but Manager Yang was worried that things might change if they delayed.
The two sisters sat quietly on the chairs without speaking, so Manager Yang took the initiative to ask if he could see the Ganoderma lucidum.
Lin Lanshan took out a wooden box she had prepared in advance from her basket and pushed it in front of him. "Manager Yang, please."
Manager Yang opened the simple and unassuming wooden box, revealing a small reddish-brown "umbrella".
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out instinctively, "This is... a red lingzhi? You two ladies are quite skilled; such a large red lingzhi isn't something you can find in ordinary mountain forests..."
She paused again, then remembered that they had bought five bottles of Jin Chuang San at once, so they must not be ordinary people, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"?"
The two sisters looked puzzled. Was this Ganoderma lucidum really that rare? Why were they laughing as they looked at it?
Putting aside his thoughts, Manager Yang asked seriously, "Ahem, how do you plan to sell this Crimson Lingzhi?"
Like ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum is hard to find and rare, so he had to try his best to acquire it within acceptable limits, so that it could be used to its fullest potential!
The two sisters exchanged a glance, both showing trusting smiles. "We trust Manager Yang's character; he certainly won't let us make this trip for nothing..."
Fifteen minutes later, an important transaction that involved both sides finally came to an end.
The two sisters, with serious expressions, carried several packets of traditional Chinese medicine as they left Jishetang and boarded a mule cart.
Lin Lanshan drove the car expressionlessly, while Lin Chunyi took out a fifty-tael and three ten-tael silver ingots from her purse in the carriage and grinned silently.
Reishi mushrooms are annual or biennial fungi. Unlike ginseng, which increases in medicinal value over time, reishi mushrooms are much less expensive.
Fortunately, the one the tiger gave them was a large, high-quality red Ganoderma lucidum.
Although it didn't sell for over a hundred taels like ginseng, as they had hoped.
But since this was something I got for free without even putting in any effort, and it can be sold for eighty taels, I shouldn't be greedy and want to get more.
However, one thing Manager Yang said made her think deeply: Ganoderma lucidum cannot grow alone...
"Sister, have you put everything away?" Lin Lanshan asked from outside with a stern face. Heaven knows how hard they had tried to hide their joy from the moment they received the money until now.
This can be considered progress!
When they made money before, they couldn't help but smile like fools who had found a lot of money... openly waiting for people to steal or rob them.
Lin Chunyi shook the thoughts out of her head, threw the silver ingots and purse into her spatial storage, and then lifted the curtain to come out.
"Okay, let's go. I'll go buy you some face cream and pearl powder first." She remembered that she needed to buy a whitening face cream for her sister who was afraid of the dark. "It gets dark early in winter, so we need to hurry."
"Peach, run faster!"
The two rode in a mule cart and bought everything they needed in less than half an hour before leaving the city.
I sped back and barely made it in time for the village chief's family's mealtime.
They got out of the car and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.
With a creak, Lin Zhengyong, who had come running, opened the door. He asked in surprise, "Why are you back so late? It's already dark. We've been waiting for you to eat. Come in quickly."
The two looked into the courtyard and saw that candles had been lit in the main room for them.
Although they couldn't see it, they knew that their aunt and sister-in-law were putting dishes on the table.
Uncle Lin held Xiaoman and sat on a chair, making her laugh.
Zhengmin happened to have some free time, so he practiced a set of boxing techniques in the dark. This was visible, right there in the courtyard…
Everyone was waiting for them to eat.
The dim light shone brightly in the darkness; and the faces of those waiting for them grew softer and softer in their minds.
Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan grinned and picked up their respective items, "Zhengyong, let's go buy some nice things!"
"We have meat and vegetables at home, why are you wasting money? What did you buy? Let me see..."
Lin Zhengyong sniffed, his eyes lighting up. "I think I smell braised meat! Hahaha, is it pig's head meat!"
"I won't tell you!" Lin Lanshan grinned, carrying two pounds of braised pig's head wrapped in oil paper, and ran towards the light.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Zhang, I bought some delicious food, would you like to order some more dishes?"
Lin Zhengyong turned to Lin Chunyi, who was walking beside him, and asked, "You bought two bags of pig's head meat? Why did you buy so much? Is today some kind of joyous occasion?"
He was thinking to himself: I wonder if it's worth buying two packs of pig's head meat for my wedding.
Lin Chunyi was secretly pleased: it wasn't a joyous occasion, just an ordinary, everyday day...
She shook the object in her hand, a smile playing on her lips, and said leisurely, "Zhengyong, what are you thinking about? Here I have a jar of fine wine~"
From inside the main room came Aunt Zhang's voice, "Zhengyong, Xiaoyi, what are you still doing outside? Call your older brother and come in for dinner!"
"You're here!" Lin Chunyi stepped onto the stairs and walked into the house.
Before long, laughter and soft scolding could be heard from the main room.
"Oh dear, why did you buy so much stuff? How much did it cost? I'll give it to you in a bit." This was Aunt Zhang's voice, sounding concerned about the money spent.
"It's not much money, Auntie. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold," Lin Chunyi replied.
"Uncle Lin, my sister and I passed by a tavern and smelled the aroma of wine from afar. So, we brought you a jar to try." Lin Lanshan untied the thin rope and opened the wine jar.
"Hmm~ Just by smelling this, I know it must be good wine, hahaha! Come on, fill it up!" Uncle Lin laughed and called out.
"Lanshan, can I have some too?" Lin Zhengyong said, bringing his bowl closer.
"Eat your food, why are you learning to drink like your father?" Aunt Zhang picked up a steamed bun and put it in his bowl.
"Where does it smell bad? It smells delicious! Besides, my dad didn't make me learn anything else." He pouted, quite dissatisfied with the steamed bun in his bowl.
"Snapped!"
Uncle Lin was even more displeased that his son dared to complain about his father, and slapped him on the head, saying, "You think you're so great now? You dare to look down on your old man?"
"You won't even let me say it!"
"If you keep babbling, you can go squat by the door and eat!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The aroma of food mingled with the scent of wine, and the laughter of everyone, stretching out the time and the night itself...
