There is a mountain in her arms
Chapter 16 Selling Goods
Grandpa Jiang carried the backpack, and Jiang Yicheng said to Aunt Jiang apologetically, "Aunt Jiang, they're all sold out before I noticed. If you're not in a hurry, wait a moment and I'll give you a discount."
"How much of this good stuff did you pull?"
"We came from the village early in the morning, pulling a bullock cart."
"So many? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sell them?"
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. The timid will die of starvation, while the bold will die of gluttony. Aren't we also forced into a corner?"
"Go quickly! I'll bring you a message here."
"Thank you!"
The two of them left the hospital quickly, and even walked around outside for a while to avoid being followed. Finally, they came out of a small alley with a backpack on their backs and walked directly into the hospital.
The person who didn't buy anything just now was actually paying attention to it. He didn't notice the person, but noticed the backpack first.
As soon as they entered the lounge, before they had time to say hello to Aunt Jiang, someone came outside.
Jiang Yichen hurriedly greeted them, and Aunt Jiang didn't start choosing until they all left.
Jiang Yicheng kept his word and gave her a 10 cent discount on every pound of food. When she was packing up to leave, Afang came in with a doctor.
"Mom, let me take a look at your foot injury."
"It's not a big deal. Just take a few days to rest. Does your wife not know?"
"I'm keeping it a secret! I had too many patients just now, and I'm only able to come here after I finish my work. Are these two my benefactors? Thank you. It's time for dinner, shall I treat you?"
"Yes, Brother Jiang, Xiao Jiang, this is my son Tao Ran. Let us treat you to a meal to express our gratitude."
"No need, you guys have already helped us. Just forget about the meal."
"Let's be honest, it's just a matter of talking. We didn't do anything."
"Uncle, I really want to ask you to do us a favor, but if it makes things difficult for you, just pretend I never said anything."
"What favor can you give me first?"
"I have a list here. I wonder if you can find a way to get it for me. I'll pay for it myself."
"These are medicines that only the elderly use. Osteoporosis is a rheumatic disease. This kind of painkiller is generally used to treat headaches. This plaster is for people with cervical and lumbar pain."
“Yes, he is an old man from our village.”
"I can get it for you, but these drugs are not cheap."
"No problem! They gave us all the money when we came out."
"Let's go eat! Mom, we'll take you home after dinner, and you can come find me in the afternoon. The people in the pharmacy are almost all gone to eat by now."
"Thank you so much. We'll leave first." Grandpa Jiang was overjoyed, with gratitude in his eyes.
"This little thing is nothing compared to your kindness. I really want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
"Everyone has a different perspective. From our perspective, you helped us with two things, which are both difficult for us to do. And we just extended a hand and didn't waste much effort."
"Master, what you said is really clear. Since you insist, then fine!"
The two men left the hospital carrying backpacks, preparing to go out for dinner and then look around elsewhere.
"Little sister, you stay here and take care of mom first. I'll get you some food, and then I'll send mom home first, and you can help me take care of your sister-in-law."
"okay!"
"Ah Fang, this little girl is really sensible. She is even braver than her grandfather at such a young age."
"Mom, children from poor families grow up early."
"Alas! He is also a poor fellow. When they come this afternoon, you should prepare a thank-you gift for me. These two things are not a big deal. How can they compare to a favor? Don't you know that I almost broke my throat when I was outside just now? It was their help. Otherwise, if I had chased after them desperately, who knows what would have happened!"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Mom, stop talking. I know."
The two of them went directly to the state-owned restaurant and had an egg pancake early in the morning. They were now starving.
Grandpa Jiang asked Jiang Yicheng to order the dishes, including stir-fried seasonal vegetables, boiled pork slices, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and a bucket of white rice.
Jiang Yichen had vomited before and her stomach was uncomfortable, so she wanted to eat something light. She didn't eat a single bite of the boiled pork slices, as Grandpa Jiang bought all of them.
The two had just finished eating and were about to leave when a young girl with her back to her whispered something in her ear. She looked at the young man sitting opposite her, nodded calmly, and pointed outside. The young girl nodded in surprise.
Although Grandpa Jiang was also confused, he didn't ask immediately.
Jiang Yichen held his grandfather's hand and walked out of the state-owned restaurant, deliberately stopping at a nearby corner.
"Grandpa, the people sitting at the table behind us want to buy some fruit, let's wait a moment!"
"How did she know? Our backpack is covered so tightly."
"I think I heard it in the hospital."
"Okay, let's wait for them for a while and go around the factory. Your cousin's father-in-law seems to work in a printing factory. Let's avoid him, otherwise it will be hard to explain."
"Ok!"
They didn't wait for a few minutes before the two young men and women left the state-owned restaurant. Seeing them looking around, Jiang Yicheng ran out and waved.
"Little sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"It's okay, make money, we will wait no matter how long it takes."
"This is my boyfriend, he's coming to visit me in a couple of days. I was wondering what to say when I heard about this in the hospital. Unfortunately I was too late and you guys had already left. I didn't expect to catch up with you here."
"Sister, it's fate! Which ones do you want? Should I help you choose or do you choose by yourself?"
Jiang Yichen told her the price with a smile, and Grandpa Jiang held the scale and watched her choose.
The girl was also very straightforward, buying several kilograms of each item. After Jiang Yicheng finished the order, he and his grandfather left and moved to other places.
In the afternoon they sold a few baskets near the textile and towel factories, and arrived at the hospital at a good time.
"Thank you, Doctor Tao. With these medicines, the elderly can be relieved of their pain."
"It's best to take them to the hospital for a check-up and prescribe the right medicine."
"Alas! Rural people can't afford this kind of money. It's good enough to fill our stomachs."
Tao Ran also knew the situation in the countryside, and he couldn't help but give his advice as a doctor.
"Doctor Tao, a few more patients have arrived!"
There was a nurse calling outside, and seeing how busy Jiang Yicheng was, grandpa and grandson hurried away.
When passing by the nurses' station, she met Afang who was coming out of the ward. She quickly put the medicine in her hand on the nurses' station.
He pulled Jiang Yichen into the lounge at the back and took out a bag from a closet.
"This is what my mother asked me to give to you. Actually, we didn't help much."
"You've done both of us a favor! No need, sister."
"In this case, you saved my mother and indirectly saved our entire family, which is even worse. Take it. This will make us feel better about our conscience."
"Sis, since you said so, I'll accept it. Wait a minute."
Jiang Yichen turned around and put the things in the backpack, then packed a few apples and handed them to her.
"Sister, I'm giving you some apples. I hope your aunt and sister-in-law are safe and sound."
"Puchi! That's a good implication. Thank you very much."
Ah Fang thought this little girl was clever and sensible. When she was about to send them off, someone called her back.
"Afang, wait!"
"Wu Li, what's wrong?"
"Afang, I'm looking for her."
"It's you!"
It turned out that the person who called them was the young girl they met at the state-owned restaurant at noon.
"Xiao Jiang, do you know each other?"
"Forget it!"
Jiang Yichen whispered something in her ear.
Afang quickly pulled them all aside. They were standing right at the door, blocking it and someone was complaining.
"Little sister, do you have anything else? How about we talk about it?"
"Sister Afang, why don't you go and do your work while we talk to her."
"Wu Li, this is my relative, don't fool her!"
Ah Fang was indeed busy. She could hear what they were about to say and even mentioned something before she left.
"The little girl is very smart! I dare not!"
After Afang left, Wu Li pulled them to a secluded place and carefully explained their purpose.
It turned out that Wu Li's boyfriend, He Mingkai, was a purchaser in the logistics department of the textile factory. Most of the workers in their textile factory were women, and it was Women's Day. The factory decided to give some benefits to female employees to show their appreciation, but what to give was a problem for their logistics department.
The factory would normally give out some small benefits every month. Women hold up half the sky, so the holiday benefits have to be a little better.
There were about 700 to 800 female workers in the textile factory. They didn't have enough money to buy expensive ones, and they couldn't afford to buy cheap ones. He Mingkai tried to put forward his own opinions and even contributed some fruits that Wu Li had given him.
The director also thought it was feasible and reported it to the factory manager, who now has agreed.
He Mingkai told her right away, and she quickly took leave to ask someone.
Although she and Afang are both nurses, they are responsible for different areas: Afang is in the outpatient department and Wu Li is in the inpatient department.
"Sister Wu Li, we can talk about this. Please take us to find your partner."
"Can you guys just wait in this hospital for a while? I don't know where you guys are going. My boyfriend is planning to try his luck nearby. I'm going out to look for him now."
"Okay, there's no rush."
The two of them had their talk, and as he watched Wu Li leave in a hurry, Grandpa Jiang could no longer hold back the smile on his face.
"That's great, Cheng Cheng. This saves us a lot of effort."
"Grandpa, when you talk to their leader later, you can lower the price appropriately. After all, they buy a lot."
"Well, Cheng Cheng, why don't you come and talk? I'm afraid I'll get stage fright and mess things up."
"Grandpa, don't be afraid. I will remind you. And we'd better sign a paper contract. This will be safer for both of us."
Jiang Yichen told his grandfather some of the solutions he had heard in his previous life, and reviewed them with him in detail.
About half an hour later, a bicycle stopped in front of them and Wu Li jumped off the back of the bicycle.
"Uncle, little sister, this is my boyfriend He Mingkai."
"Hello, I'm He Mingkai. Wu Li told you, do you have any way to get so many?"
"Can you make the full decision? This is not a small amount, and it's not enough to just talk about it."
"How about I take you to our factory and talk to our leader? Our factory is so big, they won't cheat you, right?"
"Sure, thank you!"
On the way, He Mingkai chatted with them casually. He originally thought they were from Zhao City next door, but who knew they were from a village under this county.
"I've never heard of growing fruit in our county."
"No, I have a distant nephew who drives a transport truck. I asked him to bring it back, and we made a profit from the difference."
"Master, you are this! You are so courageous!"
"It's all because of poverty. Who wouldn't want to live a comfortable life? It's because of life that we have to live like this!"
These were the speeches they had discussed privately. Jiang Yichen said little along the way, letting Grandpa Jiang improvise.
Accompanied by He Mingkai, they registered at the door and were taken to the reception room.
Grandpa Jiang was still a little nervous, so Jiang Yichen took his hand to comfort him.
"Grandpa, if this thing succeeds, we will make a fortune. You can't go against anyone except money. Look at the money."
Jiang Yicheng's words are a double entendre.
It didn't take long before He Mingkai came in with a slightly plump middle-aged man.
After several people introduced themselves to each other, he went straight to the point and stated their demands. In fact, both parties knew that it was all about price.
Director Zhu hoped that they could lower the price a bit, but Grandpa Jiang said that they were wasting too much money on shipping and couldn't afford it.
The two of them exchanged words, and Grandpa Jiang no longer felt nervous as he did at the beginning. If he didn't notice it, he would lose a lot of money. That was a lot of money, which could buy a lot of food.
Someone came to look for him halfway, and Director Zhu went out for a while. Jiang Yicheng took the opportunity to whisper to Grandpa Jiang that he could lower the price by 5 cents, but hoped that they would give him a job quota.
"Who do you want to give it to?"
"Grandpa, isn't Third Uncle at home? I think he doesn't like living in the countryside either, so why don't we help him out?"
"Okay, let's try it."
When Director Zhu came in again, Grandpa Jiang took the initiative to change his tone. Director Zhu did not show his happiness, because he knew there was no free lunch in the world.
“Are there any conditions?”
"Director Zhu is smart. I want a job."
"I don't have the authority!"
"What if we give up another five points? Director Zhu doesn't have the authority to pass it on to someone with authority!"
Jiang Yichen couldn't help but speak up. Anyway, even if their offer was reduced by 1 cent, it would still be the same as the previous offer in the town.
"What the little girl said might be true."
Director Zhu had not paid attention to Jiang Yicheng before, he only knew that she was a pretty little girl. But when she suddenly spoke, the confidence in her eyes attracted him.
"Of course, my granddaughter's meaning is my meaning."
Grandpa Jiang supported him, and Director Zhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he was still favored. You know, most families value boys over girls. According to his observation, they should be from the countryside.
"Okay, I can help you pass on the conditions to the factory director."
The reason why Director Zhu is so concerned about this matter is because it was initiated by the factory director.
Otherwise, according to his suggestion, just give out some cheap little gifts, which saves time and effort.
This job quota costs hundreds of dollars! Which one is more cost-effective? You don't need to calculate.
Director Zhu didn't expect that when he put forward such a condition, the factory director would agree after a little consideration. He still couldn't believe it when he came out.
"The factory manager agreed, but it's just a temporary job."
“Temporary workers are fine!”
When Grandpa Jiang mentioned that he wanted to sign a paper contract, Director Zhu's eyes finally changed. He didn't expect that an old man from the countryside could be so smart, and he immediately looked up to him.
The two discussed the details, including how much of each fruit was needed, calculated the quantity one by one, and specified when the deliveries would be made, before leaving with the contract.
He Mingkai was also impressed. He didn't expect that the other person could get a job so easily.
