C49 (1/2)
After exiting the school gates, Lin Jin thought about it, then decided to give his big uncle a call. However, after calling for a long time, the telephone still did not reach him. He did not know if the person on the other side was intentionally not picking up the call or if the person was not there.
But this made Lin Jin heave a sigh of relief. If the other party picked up, he really didn't know what to say.
Ever since Lin Jin found out that his parents' disappearance was related to his uncle, he had already been cold towards his uncle for around seven to eight years. Even with his knowledge and experience, he knew that he couldn't blame his uncle for that incident, and he had indeed raised him for so many years. However, the indifference he had developed over a long period of time had caused Lin Jin to no longer know how to communicate with his uncle.
After hanging up, Lin Jin took out the piece of paper with the Owner Zhang's phone number written on it, and pressed the number written on it.
”Hey!” ”Who is it?” After a while, Owner Zhang's slightly hoarse voice came out.
”Owner Zhang? I'm Lin Jin, the one who stayed at your place yesterday, and asked you to help me collect the medicine. ”
”Oh, it's the Brother Lin. I've already helped you agree on three ingredients you want me to take. As for the other ingredients, I've already agreed on the price, but …”
Lin Jin knew what was going on and hurriedly said, ”How much do you want? I'll call you now. Oh right, Owner Zhang, what's your bank account number? ”I was in such a hurry that I forgot to ask.”
A string of numbers suddenly came over the phone. The boss asked for pen and paper to record everything down, then asked him for his price. After asking, he found out that those medicinal herbs were only worth two or three hundred yuan, which was more than twice the price as Ninghua's.
But even so, the medicinal herb market of Ninghua was huge, with a variety of different varieties. At the moment, he had no medicines at hand, so after making a small profit of teleporting 500 dollars to Owner Zhang, Lin Jin took another 2000 dollars from the bank and headed towards the Medicinal Herbs Market.
Unexpectedly, the moment he walked out of the Medicinal Herbs Market, he saw four to five cars parked there. There were also more than ten big men surrounding them, surrounding the gate, preventing passersby from passing through. No one knew what was going on.
This place was a gathering point for Chinese medicinal herbs. Usually, only medicinal herbs would be traded here, so very few people would come here. What was going on, to be surrounded by so many people? Lin Jin was a little curious, so he walked over.
Before he even reached the door, Lin Jin saw a skinny middle-aged man with a bunch of goatees hiding in an inconspicuous corner. He couldn't help but look inside anxiously.
This man was a well-known medicinal ingredient merchant named Lu Changhua, and because of the personality of his mustache, most of the acquaintances called him Xu Jiu.
