Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Return to Haicheng
“Brother Jiang, if you can get more, buy as much as you can. No matter how much you have, I’ll take it all,” the sales clerk said, becoming somewhat anxious.
She had been selling the earrings for twenty-four yuan each, and the sales had been very good these past few days. If she ran out of stock, she would lose so much money.
“Alright, miss, don’t you worry. As long as I have it in my hands, you’ll be the first I come to,” Jiang Changhai assured her with a smile.
After leaving the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he went to find Old Niu.
“Brother, how’s business been lately?”
“Oh, if it isn’t Changhai, haha, thanks to you, business has been very good. Next time you go to Haicheng, bring more of those little things, the more the better. They’re selling like hotcakes,” Old Niu said proactively before Jiang Changhai could even ask.
“I’ll try my best. As you know, even in Haicheng, those small items aren’t easy to come by.”
After chatting for a while, Jiang Changhai felt more confident and mentioned the matter of helping to collect wild mushrooms.
“Sure thing,” Old Niu readily agreed.
Jiang Changhai added, “Brother, don’t start buying from others just yet. I’m going to have my family collect in the village for a couple of days to see how much they can gather. If it’s not enough, then I’ll ask for your help.”
He wanted to give his second and third brothers a helping hand so that they could earn some extra money.
Jiang Changhai had already decided: he would pay 30 cents per jin for the dried wild mushrooms and let his second and third brothers buy them in the village for 20 cents per jin, making a margin to help with family expenses.
However, he told his family that the transport factory wanted to buy a hundred jin of dried wild mushrooms.
“They only need a hundred jin. You should collect quietly from each household and don’t tell anyone. Not even to your wives and daughters, because if other people find out, they will certainly go and sell to the transport factory themselves.”
“Don’t worry, big brother. We won’t tell anyone!” Jiang Changhe and Jiang Changtao nodded vigorously, filled with gratitude to him.
Big brother still had his younger brothers in mind!
At that moment, Jiang Changtao felt a bit sheepish, and suddenly remembered the warm times when his big brother had taken him and his second brother to catch fish and gather bird eggs in their childhood.
As for Jiang Changhe, he was brimming with enthusiasm. For his soon-to-be-born son, he knew he had to work even harder to earn money than before!
When Su Wanyu learned that Jiang Changhai was going to Haicheng again next week, she immediately showed concern. “Brother Hai, why don’t you rest for a couple more days? You haven’t stayed home long this time.”
The flesh he lost last time still hadn’t grown back.
“It’s fine, wife. I’ve been almost going rusty these past few days. Fortunately, Master Yang is heading to Haicheng this time, and I’ll join him. I know the way well, nothing to worry about,” Jiang Changhai said nonchalantly.
Seeing that Jiang Changhai had made up his mind, Su Wanyu didn’t try to stop him anymore, just cautioned him, “Then please be careful on this trip, don’t let your guard down. How much money are you taking this time?”
Jiang Changhai thought for a moment, then with a determined heart said, “I’m taking it all. If we make a profit, we’ll buy a house right away.”
Su Wanyu, although shocked by Jiang Changhai’s audacity, did not say a word and took out all the money they had at home.
“Brother Hai, all our savings combined, we have about one thousand yuan and two hundred yuan,” she said.
Jiang Changhai took one thousand and left the remaining two hundred for Su Wanyu to put back in the chest for safekeeping.
“Trust your man, wife. I’ll bring you back two thousand,” Jiang Changhai said with confidence, kissing her before adding assuredly.
Feeling inspired by Jiang Changhai’s confidence, Su Wanyu smiled and said, “Of course I trust you. Brother Hai, let me sew the money into your clothes.”
