Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 13: Selling Ginseng and Encountering a Scammer
Liu Xialian needed money urgently to buy a big mule. "Okay, I'll arrange it for you this afternoon."
After that, he took Daya and Erya to the roadside where they collected medicinal herbs to inquire about prices. This was a free market, where vendors liked to collect goods and farmers came to sell goods. It was not large, with only a few dozen stalls. Liu Xialian took a ginseng that was about ten years old and asked several vendors, but they only gave her five yuan. She was very dissatisfied with this price. This was a wild mountain product, and it should be worth at least ten yuan for ten years. Suddenly, a woman holding a child blocked her way. The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quite plump, and holding a six or seven-month-old child.
"Big sister, big sister, are you going to sell ginseng? My family buys it. It's very expensive. Very expensive."
Ginseng that is more than ten years old is available in abundance in Changbai Mountain, and the market price is also very clear, which is around eight yuan.
"How much can you give for six of these?"
"Six, no problem, no problem. I need the elders at home to look at it before I can set the price. I estimate that eight yuan per stick is still acceptable."
The price was much higher than that sold by street vendors. Liu Xia Lian followed the woman into the alley, turning left and right before arriving at a small courtyard surrounded by a fence.
A man in his mid-twenties was sleeping in a rocking chair. The woman called out, "Master, a guest has arrived. See how much he is worth."
Liu Xia Lian felt something was wrong at first glance. This guy must be fishing.
The man stood up and rubbed his eyes: "Where is it, is there any good stuff?"
The man didn't look at the ginseng first, but saw Liu Xia Lian first. She was in her twenties, with wheat-colored skin, a hot body, and a pair of ponytails. She was so cute.
Liu Xia Lian picked up the ginseng in her hand and shook it: "About ten years old, just came down the mountain yesterday."
"Two dollars a stick, wife, give me the money."
As the man was about to grab the ginseng, Liu Xia Lian stepped back and kicked the man's hand.
Daya and Erya stepped forward in unison: "What's the matter, you want to use violence?"
"We don't want to sell it anymore, let's go." These are the bad guys who force sales. There are too many of them in this era, so there is no need to get entangled with them.
Liu Xialian wanted to leave, but the man refused to do so and shouted into the house, "Brothers, come to work, stop playing cards, there are three girls."
Four men came out of the house. They looked like gangsters with many years of experience. They were holding sticks and weighing them in their hands.
Liu Xialian was not one to be taken advantage of. She thrust her knee forward fiercely, hitting the man's vitals. The force was not enough to injure him. Daya and Erya each pushed down a man.
"Here, here. I don't want the two dollars. Let's go now." Liu Xia Lian left three ginsengs and ran away with Daya and Erya.
When they got to the street, Daya complained: "Sister, why are you running? We have already beaten three of them. I will kill them with one axe."
"They were just forcing the purchase. If a conflict broke out and someone died, it would be considered a fight and they would go to jail. But now it's different. We were robbed of three ginsengs. You two stay at the entrance of the alley and don't act rashly. I'm going to go find my dad."
"Okay, don't worry, sister. If these five guys dare to run away, I will break their ribs and make soup."
Liu Xia Lian trotted all the way to the forest farm security department, where a group of dozens of people were bragging and chatting. Her father Liu Jun was the team leader. He was neatly dressed in a uniform with a red armband of the team leader on his arm and a submachine gun on his waist.
"Dad, something bad has happened. I just met five men who tried to steal my three ginsengs. I didn't dare to attack them because they were so many in number."
Liu Jun quickly pulled his daughter over to examine her carefully: "Let me see if she's hurt."
"No one is hurt. Come with me to catch him, or the three ginsengs will be gone."
Liu Jun called out, "Comrades, there is a situation. There are still people daring to rob our forest farm. Take action."
The forest farm security department not only protects the forest farm, the town is also their territory, not to mention that this person is the captain's daughter.
At a call, twenty or so idle young men picked up the explosion-proof batons and followed Liu Jun to start the action.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
About twenty people got into four open jeeps and went there so fast that they arrived in a short while.
People thought it was a big deal and gave in.
Liu Xialian led the way and brought her father to the entrance of the alley where Daya and Erya were guarding. The two pointed to the location, and Liu Jun gestured to divide the troops, one team to take the back road, and the other team to attack from the front.
When I arrived at the yard, the man was beating his wife.
"Look at who you are looking for. You brought that woman home with two bear-like women. She almost crippled me with that push. You probably won't be able to have children in the future."
The woman didn't dare to talk back after being beaten, and she felt very aggrieved.
"Don't move, put your hands on your head and squat down." Liu Jun raised his submachine gun and aimed at the man who stole his daughter. The man squatted down with his hands on his head. The team members behind him were not as gentle as Liu Jun, and hit him with a long stick covered with rubber.
Four men in the room were playing cards when they were held down by someone. They were all covered in dust and dared not make a sound.
Liu Xialian asked the man: "Where is my ginseng?"
The man was about to cry: "Auntie, you are trying to kill me. I bought your ginseng, not stole it. You left the ginseng behind and ran away."
"Tell me eight dollars, and give me two dollars when you get there. If I don't sell it, you'll threaten me with a stick. Do you call this a business?"
The man returned the three ginseng roots to Liu Xialian, and Liu Jun waved his hand: "Take them all back and send them to the police station."
The man quickly shouted, "Uncle, I'm Xu Linzi, my father is an old employee of the forest farm."
Liu Jun thought about it carefully and found that there really was such a person, who was related to his wife. He guessed that those four boys were also from the forestry farm.
"Xu Linzi, this matter can be big or small. If it's a small matter, you can apologize to the girl and if she forgives you, I won't pursue it. If it's a big matter, robbing three ginseng roots is a big crime and you won't be able to escape for three to five years."
Xu Linzi nodded and bowed: "I was wrong, I was blinded by greed, I will never dare to do it again." Then he bowed to Liu Xia Lian.
Liu Xia Lian pulled the woman holding the child over and said, "The man is useless because he was spoiled by women. You are actually harming him by indulging him like this. You will become a widow if he is shot one day. He asked you to lie, so you lied. They are all women, and you still lie to women. If it weren't for the child, I would have to beat you up. Beat him up."
"I don't dare. I don't dare."
"You're screwed, you deserve to be bullied."
The woman was also angry. She threw the child to Liu Xialian and slapped her husband in the face: "I told you not to work, so I let you cheat people. All you do all day is play cards and sleep."
He slapped him four times, and only stopped when his face was swollen.
