Gu Chen first went to the pharmacy, where two young women in white coats were sitting at the counter chatting.
They stopped when they saw Gu Chen come in.
One of the girls with a ponytail stood up and said, 'Hello, may I help you?'
'A box of Eikosyn and some D3,' Gu Chen said firmly.
Hearing D3, the young girl couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen.
Eikosyn is not a precious medicine, 21 boxes, but D3 is expensive, 90 yuan domestically and 160 yuan abroad.
'Do you want domestic or imported?'
the young girl asked curiously.
Most people actually buy domestic ones, but after all, the expensive medicine has a higher mark-up, doesn't it?
So she asked one more question.
Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched. He didn't expect that he was just buying a calcium supplement.
There were even domestic and imported versions of this thing.
He blinked, 'I'll take whichever one is good.'
For Gu Chen, the effect was the most important thing.
On hearing this, the girl with the ponytail smiled warmly, 'The effect is definitely better with the imported one, but the price is also imported and expensive, seventy yuan more expensive than the domestic one, you see...'
After all, it's 70 yuan more expensive, and 70 yuan is a lot of money. Her monthly salary is only 190 yuan.
Gu Chen didn't think twice, 'Then I'll take the imported one.'
When she heard that Gu Chen wanted the imported one, the ponytailed girl's face showed some shock.
To be honest, most people choose the domestic one when they hear this price. She thought Gu Chen would be the same, but she didn't expect it. This person looks so ordinary, and yet he wants the imported one.
But the girl was shocked and also a little happy at the same time. After all, she would be able to earn a few more dollars in commission.
She hurriedly turned around and walked into the pharmacy where the expensive medicines were stored. Carefully, she took the imported d3 out of the counter.
She also took a box of Echinacea from the shelf outside.
Only then did she walk up to the cashier's desk. 'One hundred and eighty in total,'
Gu Chen took out 200 yuan from his pocket and handed it over, and the girl hurriedly took 20 yuan from the drawer and gave it to Gu Chen.
After taking the medicine, Gu Chen left the door of the pharmacy and headed towards the van.
The two girls who sold medicine were left looking at each other.
'Goodness, I didn't realise it, this person doesn't look like they have much money, but they were willing to buy such expensive medicine.'
'Who's to say they weren't? So let's not judge people by appearances in the future.'
'It seems so!'
Gu Chen was getting into the van, and as soon as the door closed, he ducked into the space.
Then he picked up the matsutake mushrooms from the ground, which had been packed the previous afternoon.
Once he was out of the space, he got out of the car and headed towards the hospital.
Ji Chu was standing in the kiosk, arms folded, looking around leisurely.
When he saw Gu Chen holding a crumpled nylon bag, he couldn't help but frown, and began to doubt if his judgment had been wrong.
That's matsutake, an expensive ingredient!
It's packed in such a shabby bag?
Everyone else uses boxes, beautifully packaged boxes!
He's got such a shabby bag, can that stuff be good?
Gu Chen kept his head down and didn't even notice the expression on Ji Chu's face.
It wasn't until they reached the kiosk that he threw the shabby nylon bag he was holding on the ground.
'This is my matsutake mushrooms, look, they're all here, but I can only sell you half.'
His own daughter-in-law is going to have an operation, she needs to build up her strength, doesn't she?
Ji Chu looked at the nylon bag on the ground, and his three views were about to disappear.
Half of them? He didn't want any of them.
Is this definitely not a bag of rubbish?
You just threw it down casually, aren't you afraid of breaking it?
Can this be matsutake mushrooms?
It's more like a liar!
He didn't have the slightest intention of looking at it.
But after all, he is an 18-year-old kid, not deeply corrupted by society, kind-hearted and relatively soft-hearted.
After thinking it over, he reluctantly forced himself to open the dark green torn nylon bag in front of him, despite his discomfort.
However, as soon as he saw what was inside, his slender white hands instantly stopped.
His expression was nothing but surprise.
He even forgot his usual pretence of being sophisticated and immediately reached into the bag and grabbed one out.
He stared at Gu Chen with wide eyes, incredulously, 'Are you sure these are matsutake mushrooms?'
Without exaggeration, these were the best matsutake mushrooms he had seen in all these years.
It was a little hard to believe.
They were large, like king oyster mushrooms, and looked extremely fresh, with a fragrance unique to matsutake mushrooms.
If these were really matsutake mushrooms, they were definitely the best of the best!
It was incredible, a pleasant surprise!
Gu Chen couldn't help but smile at Ji Chu's surprised expression.
He really is still a child, and no matter how mature he dresses, he can't hide his childishness.
'Brother, name your price, take it if it's suitable, I'm short of money.'
At this, Gu Chen's expression couldn't help but become a little serious, 'To be honest, my wife has a polyp in her stomach and needs surgery too. Although we're short of money, I have to save half of the matsutake for my wife to recuperate.'
Earning money is important, but Ji Pianran's health is more important to her than money.
He also wants to save the good things for her.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chu's eyebrows twitched. He didn't expect this person to be quite good to his daughter-in-law. He was short of money, but he wasn't willing to sell it all, and was even thinking of saving some for his daughter-in-law.
He's a good person, and I really didn't waste my time inviting him to smoke!
He laughed, 'Not to mention, this half will be worth several thousand yuan, and the money for the surgery will be there. Are you really willing to part with it?'
Gu Chen gave him a cold stare, 'That's my wife, I'd give up my life, let alone this little money!'
Could the average person understand his feelings for Ji Pianran?
But in view of his youth, Gu Chen didn't really care.
He looked at Ji Chu's face and said seriously, 'Name your price, this thing weighs at least 20 catties, half of it, we'll each get 10 catties.'
Now, Ji Chu's good impression of Gu Chen could not help but rise to a higher level.
Confident, good to his wife, and seemingly carefree, but still very down-to-earth.
And the matsutake in his hands was truly good, so good that it was surprising.
Ji Chu thought for a moment.
'How about this, the market price for matsutake is 600 yuan per catty, but yours is really rare in terms of quality, it should be the best. I won't bully you, 800 yuan per catty, what do you think?'
To be honest, this price was really unexpected for Gu Chen. After all, this stuff is expensive in the first place, and it's not easy to find a buyer.
But according to Gu Chen's style of doing things, he wouldn't stop at one shot, that wouldn't be him.
'850, 850 and we'll close the deal!'
It's not that Gu Chen bullies young people. To be honest, his own things are really good things. Besides, in business, prices are always set high and bargains are always struck.
If this kid insists on 800, there's nothing more he can say, and he'll just sell it.
