Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

This was the first time Jiang Sen had seen the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse.

The area behind is several times larger than the area in front.

On the left shelf were goods from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the middle and right sides were full of sacks.

"These two rows were sent to you by the Fourth Brigade, and I took the liberty of bringing them over for you," said Sister Ma, pointing to the two rows of burlap sacks in the middle. "The other side is all collected by me!"

She looked at Jiang Sen with a smile in her eyes, as if to say, "How capable I am."

"You're the one!" Jiang Sen gave a thumbs up. "But so many... plus the twenty-odd sacks we brought down from the mountain, how are we going to ship them?"

Jiang Sen began to worry.

Normally, there are at most ten sacks, because the canteen in the Kyoto Military Region compound needs them.

There are so many now, roughly fifty sacks, plus what they brought, almost a hundred.

With so many mountain products, even the best canteen would get tired of eating the same things every day.

"Don't you have connections in Kyoto? Just send a purchase order," Sister Ma suggested.

Jiang Sen nodded, not thinking about it in that direction.

Because of the letter Wang Haiyang sent him, he felt that he could give it a try.

"Please wait here while I make a phone call."

Jiang Sen found the phone number that Wang Haiyang had left for him before he left.

He was a childhood friend from the same compound, and also the person who received the goods in Kyoto; his name was Luo Jianshe.

He didn't know this person, but Wang Haiyang had emphasized more than once that Jiang Sen should treat Luo Jianshe as himself and not be polite.

I went to the post office and called the number written in the notebook.

The phone rang three times before it was answered.

"Hey, who is it?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded young, with a lazy, Beijing-style air about it.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Sen. Are you...?"

"Yes, yes, it's me!"

Before Jiang Sen could finish speaking, the person on the other end said "yes" several times in quick succession, sounding as if they were in a hurry.

"Hey buddy, where have you been? I'm out of stock! Didn't Haiyang tell you? I'll take as many as you have, the price is the same as before, I definitely won't rip you off, don't you trust me?"

Jiang Sen breathed a slight sigh of relief at this overly familiar tone.

"There was a bit of an accident a few days ago, so I came to the farm headquarters today. I called to ask you, I have about seven or eight hundred catties of mountain produce here, can you..."

Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted again.

"Yes, yes, yes! We want as much as you have! Hurry up and ship it, buddy! We're seeing tons of money flying right in front of us, but we just can't get it! Seven or eight hundred pounds is nothing, seven or eight thousand pounds is no problem!"

Jiang Sen found this Luo Jianshe quite interesting.

He and Wang Haiyang were childhood friends, but their personalities were completely opposite. They were so close that they could practically share a pair of pants.

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."

"Alright! You can just sit back and wait to collect your money!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Wenqu looked directly at Jiang Sen.

"Shipping today?"

"Correct!"

"Seven or eight hundred pounds, that's quite an old man, isn't it?"

There aren't actually many; dried mushrooms don't weigh much.

The main ingredients are fresh bracken and other mountain delicacies.

"Fill out the form first. Where are the items? Have him drive the tractor over and load them onto the truck." Bai Wenqu pointed to Xiao Bai, who was sitting next to him and dozing off.

"It's right there with Sister Ma!"

"Go! Help move the goods!" Bai Wenqu kicked Xiao Bai. "You have nothing to do all day. Why don't you learn from Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Sen raised an eyebrow; was this a direct challenge directed at him?

"Uncle Bai! If Xiao Bai wants to do it too, let's do it together. Anyway, he doesn't have much to do besides delivering mail and hauling goods."

Bai Wenqu laughed, "Look, Xiao Jiang is the most sensible. Look at you, hurry up and go! Hey, Xiao Jiang, don't go yet, here's the remittance slip!"

Jiang Sen turned around, took the remittance slip, and twitched his lips when he saw the number on it.

Last time, I sent out more than a dozen sacks, which contained over two thousand yuan.

He quickly took out his notebook, and according to the records in it, transferred the money to Lao Zhang and Wei San.

He understood why Bai Wenqu had pointed this out to him; who wouldn't be confused when they saw so much money?

After everything was done, I asked Bai about the channels and thanked him before returning to the supply and marketing cooperative. Ma's wife and Xiao Bai were already loading the truck.

After everything was installed, Jiang Sen wrote the quantity on the delivery slip and handed it to Xiao Bai, saying, "Please give this to Uncle Bai."

Xiao Bai grinned as he took the tractor and drove it to the post office.

"Sister Ma!" Jiang Sen peeked out to make sure no one was outside, then quickly took out his money, counted out three hundred yuan, and handed it over. "This is the money from last time."

"So much!" Sister Ma couldn't believe it. After taking it, she counted it several times before letting out a breath. "Jiang Sen, do you think these things can really make this much money?"

Jiang Sen said, "Are you scared?"

"Who's afraid?" Sister Ma pocketed the money and asked in a low voice, "So how much can we earn this time?"

Jiang Sen shook his head. "You'll know in a few days. By the way, I have some news for you. If you can take over this supply and marketing cooperative, you should do so as soon as possible. Then, no one will complain even if you send out a lot of mountain products."

"Contracting?" Sister Ma asked quickly, "How does the contracting work? Is there any official document about it?"

"The official document will probably be released at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. This is information I received from a friend in Kyoto."

"Don't worry! Your sister-in-law knows what she's doing!"

Jiang Sen didn't say this to Sister Ma on a whim.

Rather, he knew that even if Sister Ma didn't take on the contract, once the documents were issued, people would be scrambling to take it on.

If Sister Ma takes over the contract, it will be incredibly convenient for him and Wang Haiyang.

You no longer need to go through the trouble of going up the mountain to pick them yourself.

After deducting the money given to others, Jiang Sen earned over 1,800 yuan himself this time.

These figures exclude Wang Haiyang's portion.

They must have made a fortune from the bracken and monkey head mushrooms last time.

As he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw Fu Chunsheng looking around at the entrance of the department.

"Fu Chunsheng!" Jiang Sen called out.

"What are you doing here? We've been looking everywhere for you!"

"What are you looking for me for?"

"This basket is the one you carried back from the mountains. You took the wrong one from me. When I saw what was inside, wow, there was a huge ginseng root! It's worth a fortune! I didn't dare say a word and came looking for you right away!"

Jiang Sen was also startled.

Ginseng!

He had previously considered whether to have the old cripple take him to dig for ginseng, so how did he end up here?

He suddenly remembered that before he left, Yingzi's grandfather had asked Yingzi to bring him some things, saying that he needed to replenish them.

He quickly grabbed the basket, opened the raincoat on top, and found a blue cloth bag underneath. Inside was a large piece of moss covered in mud, with a ginseng root wrapped inside.

Just by looking at the rootlets, you can tell this ginseng is quite old.

Just like Fu Chunsheng said, it's worth a fortune!

I would never be willing to eat ginseng if I kept it myself, and I would be even more reluctant to give it away.

It would be better to exchange it for money.

He wrapped the blue cloth around himself and said to Fu Chunsheng, "Do you want to change anything?"

"I want to buy a bar of soap!"

The two turned and went inside. When Sister Ma saw that there was another person with Jiang Sen, she didn't say much. She gave Fu Chunsheng some soap and kept looking at Jiang Sen with her eyes, asking if there was anything else.

Jiang Sen chuckled. "Sister-in-law Ma, do you have any boxes or anything?"

What are you going to pretend to be?

Jiang Sen took out a blue cloth bag. "This!"

"This..." Sister Ma tactfully didn't ask what it was, but turned around and took out a lunchbox. "It's a bit old, is it okay?"

"That's amazing!"

Jiang Sen put the ginseng in, then ran to the post office to call Luo Jianshe.

"I have a special package here, packed in a lunchbox. Take a look later!"
