As long as they can be sold, unloading them won't take long.
If you hurry, it'll be done in ten minutes.
It's better than running to the next store and being rejected again!
After the two of them had agreed, Gu Chen began unloading the wolfberries from the car.
There were a dozen sacks, each full of wolfberries.
The boss was really a very meticulous person, carefully examining each sack one by one, and found that they were the same as those bought by his daughter yesterday: bright red, shiny, plump and full.
He was not convinced, so he took a handful from each sack and tasted them.
The taste was the same as yesterday's, and it seemed to be even sweeter.
He nodded, and this brother seemed to be a good person.
So much, and there was actually no water mixed in at all, unlike some suppliers.
Some suppliers water their goods, shortchange customers, or pass off inferior goods as superior.
If you're not careful, you can easily be cheated.
It seems this kid is a real person indeed.
He weighed each of the ten bags of wolfberries.
There were 1,300 catties in total, 300 catties more than Gu Chen had predicted.
The boss also had a reputation for keeping his word.
He took a bundle of hundred-yuan bills from the counter and counted out 3,650 yuan, which he handed over to Gu Chen.
'Brother, this is the payment for today's goods. I hope we can have a pleasant business relationship. Next time the wolfberries are ripe, remember to come back to me.'
The boss didn't know that Gu Chen's wolfberries ripen one after the other every day, and just thought that they ripen like ordinary wolfberries, every three to five months.
Gu Chen didn't explain, he took the money and smiled at the boss.
'Have a pleasant business relationship!'
After saying that, he remembered that Auntie Zhang had asked him to buy medicine for her.
'Boss, can I buy the medicine now?'
He had come to buy medicine, and after all that fuss in the morning, he still hadn't bought any.
Luckily, he remembered, otherwise he would be embarrassed to see Auntie Zhang again.
From the beginning, the boss had never really been paying attention to Gu Chen buying medicine, his mind was full of Gu Chen's wolfberries.
When Gu Chen mentioned this, he gave a sharp clap on his head.
As if he had just suddenly woken up, he said, 'Look at my memory! I'll dispense the medicine for you.'
He then hurriedly took out the list that Gu Chen had given him that morning, and turned around to start preparing the medicine in the medicine cabinet behind him.
After preparing the medicine, he took two pieces of dog skin plaster and handed them to Gu Chen together.
'Brother, here is your medicine.'
Gu Chen took it, and immediately took out 50 yuan from his own pocket and handed it to the boss.
The boss waved his hand hurriedly.
'Look at you, what's this for? The medicine is a gift to you, and it's not even a lot of money.'
Through their first collaboration, the boss discovered that Gu Chen was really someone who could work together.
Not to mention anything else, just for his character.
He couldn't take the money either.
Gu Chen didn't refuse either, he just smiled.
'Then thank you, boss.'
After all, this transaction of more than 10,000 yuan has been done, and it wouldn't look good for him to be entangled over this matter of a dozen yuan.
At worst, he could just round down the price for him next time.
Once he left the pharmacy, Gu Chen counted out 2,000 yuan and gave it to the pharmacist.
He then carried the box of ginseng to his car.
While he was driving, he stopped by the market.
He bought some pistachios and peanuts.
He then went to the supermarket in the mall and spent 40 yuan on some Hsu Fu Chi chocolates and some candy.
He then walked out contentedly.
These days, without Dove, the best chocolate is Hsu Fu Chi.
Around the corner from the mall are some shops selling women's shoes.
High heels, pumps, they look fashionable and comfortable.
Gu Chen felt in his pocket and frowned.
He earned a lot today, so why not buy his wife a pair of leather shoes?
They would go perfectly with her wool coat!
During the New Year, she can look beautiful too.
He didn't believe that Ji Pianran really wouldn't like them.
Women are naturally attracted to beauty, and this is true not just for women but also for men.
The first thing they do in the morning is look in the mirror.
They scrutinise their appearance and ask themselves:
Why am I so handsome? Will I be followed by scouts if I go out looking like this?
This is not just a matter of personal taste, but a common human characteristic.
Most people are like this.
Gu Chen walked over to the shelves and immediately set his eyes on a pair of small grey flat leather shoes.
The matte leather surface looked very high-quality and a bit like a boot.
The colour matched the clothes he had bought that day, and they would look great together.
Gu Chen looked at the salesperson.
'How much are these shoes?'
The salesperson smiled and said, 'These shoes are 500 yuan.'
Gu Chen nodded, 'Okay, I'll take a pair.'
Then he took 500 yuan out of his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.
The salesperson looked at Gu Chen in surprise, not because of the clothes he was wearing, which were clearly from the countryside.
Rather, it was because this was the first time he had encountered someone buying shoes without knowing the size.
It was obvious that he was buying shoes for his girlfriend, and he didn't even know her size.
She smiled, 'Sir, it looks like you're buying shoes for your girlfriend, right? You need to know the size to buy shoes.'
Gu Chen: '!!!'
He didn't know Ji Pianran's size!
But he had touched Ji Pianran's feet and had memorised them in his mind.
It wasn't that Gu Chen had any particular fetish, it was just that Ji Pianran's feet were so beautifully shaped.
He gestured with his hands, 'They're about this long.'
The salesperson laughed, "Are you sure? They'll be too big or too small if they're one size off.'
Gu Chen nodded seriously, "They're exactly this size! I'm not wrong, how could I possibly get my wife's feet wrong?'
The salesperson's eyebrows twitched with surprise.
His wife's feet?
He was buying shoes for his wife?
This young man obviously came from the countryside, and so did he.
He had to admit that the conditions of the rural people were not a little bit more difficult than those in the city, and it was also more difficult to earn money.
But he was actually willing to buy 500 yuan worth of shoes for his wife, and he was sure of himself, gesturing to himself, just this big, which looked like he had his wife's footprints in his head.
My goodness, that's so sweet.
The saleswoman couldn't help but feel a little envious of Ji Bianran at this moment.
It was a blessing to have met such a loving husband.
She walked to the back stockroom, took a pair of 37-38 shoes, and walked out.
She opened the shoe box and handed it to Gu Chen, 'Please confirm that this is the right size.'
Gu Chen looked at them and shook her head, 'They seem to be a bit big. Do you have any smaller ones?'
The saleswoman was even more convinced that Gu Chen absolutely loved her daughter-in-law.
A 37 is only one centimetre different from a 36!
Can you tell the difference from one centimetre?
If that's not true love, what is?
She nodded, 'I'll get you a different pair. Just a moment.'
After saying that, she returned to the stock room with the shoes in her arms and took out a new pair of 36s.
She asked Gu Chen to confirm, 'What do you think of these?'
The shoes were lying in the shoe box. Gu Chen glanced at them and immediately imagined Ji Pianran wearing them.
He smiled and nodded, 'These are the ones. Thanks.'
After that, he put the lid back on, hugged the shoes, and left the mall.
It was already 3 o'clock. He remembered what Ji Pianran had said: to go home early, because tomorrow was New Year's Eve and he needed to take a bath to get rid of the bad luck from the past year!
