Eating melons

As soon as Wei Wei woke up, she took the century-old ginseng and went to find Jiang Qi.

"Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi, are you up? Open the door!"

"Here I come! Here I come! Ancestor, why don't you sleep in today?"

Jiang Qi quickly opened the door and yawned after speaking.

Wei Wei slipped in, locked the door and pulled the curtain.

"I'm telling you, we've made a fortune. Look at what this is."

After Wei Wei finished speaking, she handed the century-old ginseng in her hand to Jiang Qi and turned on the desk lamp.

Jiang Qi was also a little surprised to see such a big ginseng, "Such a big ginseng, how old is this!"

Wei Wei smiled and said, "Hundred-year-old wild ginseng is worth one million."

"what?"

Wei Wei shuddered when she heard Jiang Qi's shrill and broken scream.

"Oh my god! I'm so scared! Stop screaming in my ear."

Jiang Qi also realized that he had lost his composure, "Sorry, I was so surprised that I couldn't help but say, how much do you think this is worth?"

"one million."

"Oh my god! I'm rich, I'm rich."

Wei Wei: "Yeah! We can just lie down and relax later. I still have a few ten-year-old and twenty-year-old bottles!"

Jiang Qi excitedly grabbed Wei Wei's hands, "Really?"

Wei Wei nodded, "Sure and certain."

"That's not right! This thing is not cheap! Where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Qi calmed down after being excited and asked.

Wei Wei was filled with anger when she mentioned this. "Just talking about this makes me angry. We were ripped off. Do you know how much a 50-year-old ginseng stick costs at Xiao Xuemu's place?"

Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, "How much?"

Wei Wei: "Fifty."

Jiang Qi was a little uneasy. "How much did you say? Fifty?"

Wei Wei said angrily, "Yeah! Fifty, that's fifty yuan. The one from twenty years ago is only a hundred yuan. Li Zhibin also said that if we go to the black market for the first time, our red sheets, quilt cover, pillowcase and wool will cost more than a hundred yuan. We got ripped off."

"What!!! Really?"

Jiang Qi was really shocked and a little bit hard to believe.

Wei Wei nodded, "Absolutely true."

After getting a positive answer, Jiang Qi calculated in her mind how much money they had been cheated out of, and then converted it into money in the system. After the calculation, she was completely furious.

"After all this, we've been scammed out of over 50,000 yuan!!!"

Wei Wei nodded again.

Jiang Qi was furious. You have to know that in her previous life, she worked so hard and was like a horse, but her annual savings were less than 50,000 yuan. She had to live frugally in two years to save 50,000 yuan. Now she was cheated out of 50,000 yuan. How could she not be angry?

"That's not right! Liu Aiying and Wu Cuihua must be in the same group, otherwise why would they give us the same price?

It is precisely because of this that we did not suspect that they were trying to cheat us.

They must have teamed up to set us up! Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Wu Cuihua was introduced to us by Liu Aiying."

Jiang Qi was so angry that he couldn't use honorifics to address the two people and just called them by their names.

Wei Wei shook her head. "Probably not. I thought so before, but then I thought again, maybe it's not just Liu Aiying and Wu Cuihua who are like this, but the whole team is like this.

The ginseng from Northeast China is famous throughout the country. There must be more than just the two of us buying ginseng. There must be many educated youth who will buy it, send it back, and then resell it for a high price.

Our general idea is that buying from villagers in the brigade will definitely be cheaper than on the black market, so we have preconceived notions, which is why others take advantage of us.

So I guess the whole brigade is a scam in this regard, and they all want to rip us off as outsiders."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi chuckled, "The people in this brigade are really smart. They can cheat two families out of 500 yuan at a time. That means 250 yuan per person at a time. This is enough for their family to eat and drink well for a whole year!

What did they say at the beginning? 'I can exchange two for you' 'I can exchange two for you to take back'.

We were fooled around and treated like pigs. After being sold, we were still counting money for them and were even grateful to them for bringing us money.

I really thought that the customs and habits of the people at that time were so good, and the people in this brigade were so friendly and kind to the educated youth. But how could they be kind to the educated youth?

This is clearly being kind to the pigs and the God of Wealth! He's being kind to us first, buying us groceries and firewood, and then he'll wait until we've let our guard down before killing the big one."

Wei Wei quickly grabbed the person who was getting more and more excited and said, "Calm down, calm down, let's just not buy from them anymore."

Jiang Qi: "I can't calm down. That's over 50,000 yuan!"

Wei Wei: "Think about it, we already have over a million now, so we really can't afford this little bit. Plus, I have two fifty-year-old ginsengs and several ten-year-old ginsengs, which adds up to almost two million."

After Wei Wei said this, Jiang Qi finally calmed down. "That's not right. Why did you buy so much? Do you have any money left? I'll reimburse you for whatever you spent."

After saying that, he went to get the money without telling Wei Wei at all.

"Need not."

Wei Wei didn't hold her back and could only watch her rush off to get the money.

Jiang Qi counted out a hundred Great Unity notes and stuffed them into Wei Wei's hand.

"No, I can't always let you pay!"

Wei Wei quickly put the money back to her.

Jiang Qi stopped him, "Alright, come on, don't be so polite with me. I'll give you a thousand yuan. Those two fifty-year-old bottles and a few ten-year-old bottles should also be worth about a thousand yuan. We'll each pay half."

Seeing her persistence, Wei Wei didn't say anything. She earned more than two thousand in two days. This salary is not considered low in later generations!

Jiang Qi: "Okay, go back and collect the money! I'll make breakfast. I have to face them later. It's annoying just thinking about it."

Wei Wei: "Don't worry about it. Think about it this way. Even though we got scammed, it's not a big loss for both of us. We still made a little money, just a little less."

Jiang Qi rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are the only one with a good attitude. You are cheerful all day long."

Wei Wei just smiled and said nothing. There was nothing she could do since her savings were already approaching tens of millions!

When you have enough money, these tens of thousands are really nothing.

Wei Wei handed the century-old ginseng to Jiang Qi, "Here, this is for you, keep it."

Jiang Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why would you do that to me? Just sell it!"

Wei Wei nodded, "Okay."

She knew this would be the result, and she left the ginseng for Jiang Qi to see just to let her have a look.

Of course, it was also to tell Jiang Qi that they had enough savings, so they didn't have to be so stingy anymore and didn't have to go out all day trying to make money.

After returning home, Wei Wei immediately sold the ginseng, and more than one million yuan immediately appeared in her account.

She then kept the one thousand yuan given by Jiang Qi. She didn't take Jiang Qi's money in vain.

He found a fifty-year-old ginseng, a twenty-year-old ginseng, and five ten-year-old ginsengs and planned to give them to Jiang Qi.

"Hey, keep this."

After Wei Wei finished speaking, she handed the thing to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was confused. "What is this?"

Wei Wei opened the handkerchief and said, "This is a fifty-year-old ginseng, this is a twenty-year-old ginseng, and these are five ten-year-old ginsengs. Here they are, keep them safe."

Jiang Qi: "Why are you doing this to me? Why don't you just sell it?"

Wei Wei: "I have enough money now, so there's no need to rush. You can sell it and buy more later. I'll give it to you. You'll need it later! You can eat it yourself or give it to someone else."

After saying that, he put it in Jiang Qi's locker.

Listening to Wei Wei's words, Jiang Qi felt a warm feeling in his heart.
