After that, the woman, Gu Chen, walked towards the hospital's inpatient department with her bamboo basket.
Seeing the woman leave, Gu Chen sighed.
Damn it, it seems like it's over.
If I knew that the hospital staff were so rich, I would have brought two more baskets!
But there's no rush. I'll just wait until the baskets are sold out and take them myself. At worst, I'll say I left them in the car, which is a bit far away!
After all, people who come to buy things only care about the quality of the goods, and no one cares where they're moved from.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged woman younger than the older woman came out of the hospital's main entrance.
She walked over to Gu Chen.
'Young man, I heard Sister Wang say that your wolfberries are especially good. Give me some.'
Just now upstairs, Sister Wang carried a big basket of wolfberries, saying that they were fresh, and enthusiastically grabbed a handful to try for herself.
She grew one, and the taste was simply superb.
What's most rare is that this is actually still fresh.
Fresh!!!
She also wants to buy some to take back to her child who goes to school.
This stuff clears the liver and improves eyesight.
Who as a parent wouldn't want their child to have better eyesight and be able to see the words on the blackboard clearly!
Gu Chen nodded with relief, 'No problem, how much do you want?'
The middle-aged woman thought for a moment, "I'll take a basketful. That's too much. There's only the two of us at home, my child and I. How about this, young man, how about you weigh six catties for me?'
Gu Chen smiled, "No problem, just six catties. Come again when you've had a good meal.'
He took out a clean plastic bag, which he hadn't used up when doing the morning shopping.
This was exactly the right time to put it to use.
He packed the wolfberries and weighed them on the scale.
'Okay, 6.4 jin, I'll round up to 6 jin, that's 72 in total.'
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly took out 100 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took out 28 yuan from his pocket and handed it over together with the wolfberries in his hand.
The middle-aged woman thanked him and was about to go upstairs.
Before she had taken a few steps, she saw several other women coming down the stairs, all of similar age.
They came downstairs, chatting and laughing as they walked over.
'Young man, your wolfberries are quite delicious, can I have five catties?'
'I'll take ten catties, to give to my mother. Older people like to maintain their health, they'll definitely like it.'
'Then I'll take twenty catties, for my four elderly relatives.'
Gu Chen didn't realise that the woman's appeal was so strong.
One person asked for ten catties, another for five catties, and before long the basket was empty.
When no one was looking, he hurried across the street to a residential building opposite the hospital and found a dead end where no one went.
Then he entered the space again.
This time, he took three baskets of goji berries in one go.
Without taking a break, he carried the three baskets on his back to the hospital entrance.
He thought to himself that he would definitely need to rent a car next time he went to the hospital.
At this point, several nurses were also standing outside waiting for Gu Chen.
One of the nurses was originally going to check the bed, but the woman was so enthusiastic that she insisted on grabbing a handful of wolfberries for herself to try. She said they were imported and fresh.
Once she tried them, the taste was really good, so she went back to the office and gave the handful to a few of the younger girls in the department.
As a result, everyone was won over by the wonderful sweet taste of the wolfberries.
A few people slipped out right away, thinking about buying some.
Not only can they eat it themselves, but they also have to visit relatives and pay New Year's visits to their superiors before the Chinese New Year.
Giving this stuff away will definitely make them look good.
After working for so many years, this was the first time they had seen fresh wolfberries for sale.
The key was that they were cheap and delicious.
After looking downstairs for a long time, the girls found that no one was there, and they were about to go back dejectedly.
The girls were overjoyed.
'Is this the person?'
'I think so. Look at the box he has, it's wolfberries!'
'Let's go, let's go buy some!'
The girls were all talking at once, walking towards Gu Chen.
Before Gu Chen even got to the place where he had been, he was stopped by a few young and pretty nurses.
'I'll take five catties.'
'I'll take ten catties.'
'I'll take some too, let's make it fifteen catties.'
The young girls chattered away in Gu Chen's ear.
Gu Chen smiled helplessly, 'Okay, okay, I'll have some for everyone, let's talk about it in front!'
He had just walked quickly, leaving the scale and box where he had left them. Without the scale, how could he weigh it!
On hearing this, the girls followed him again, chattering away.
At this moment, one of the girls couldn't help but whisper to the girl next to her, 'Did you notice, this guy is quite good-looking, with peach eyes, a high nose, fair skin, and red lips and teeth.'
After she said this, the attention of the girls shifted from the wolfberries to Gu Chen's face.
It was only at this moment that Gu Chen arranged the frames and was bending down to get the scale.
The boy had a clear youthful profile, with a straight nose, full lips, a perfect jawline, and a slightly prominent Adam's apple.
The girls were even more excited to look at him, for he was much more attractive than the wolfberries!
One of the nurses looked at Gu Chen with a smile, 'Handsome boy, can I have your phone number?'
Gu Chen smiled, 'Sorry, we don't use phones in our village.'
He was telling the truth, for he really didn't have a phone, and even if he did, he couldn't give it to anyone!
He knew this very well.
Seeing that Gu Chen was unwilling to give his phone number, another nurse said, 'It must be because you're too ugly, so you're deliberately not giving it to me.'
On hearing this, Gu Chen spoke up, 'I'm sorry, I already have a wife, and my wife is super fierce, if she finds out, I'll be dead!'
He said this completely to give the girl a way out.
After all, she was a girl, with a thin skin, and there were a thousand ways to refuse, but it was definitely not because she was ugly!
That would be too hurtful.
She had said so openly that she liked him, and he could refuse, but it would be bad to hurt someone's feelings.
Upon hearing this, the girls laughed heartily.
'Handsome boy, you're so funny, and you're afraid of your wife.'
Gu Chen nodded seriously, 'Of course, I'm quite afraid!'
Gu Chen played along and acted like a henpecked man.
To be honest, he wasn't afraid of Ji Pianran at all. He was attracted to her, guilty, in love with her, and wanted to make amends, but he was not afraid.
The young girls chatted animatedly.
'I really envy your wife. If only I could find someone as handsome as you and who is afraid of me.'
'You'd better hurry up and buy it, don't even dream about it, it's cold outside!'
At this moment, a few people who came to the hospital to visit patients saw a few young nurses standing over here, so they all looked over curiously.
Gu Chen gave them the title of good wolfberry according to each person's request.
After receiving the money, a few people left.
As soon as they left, the people who came to visit the patients gathered around.
They all wanted to see what kind of good stuff everyone in the hospital was buying.
