Chapter 44 32
"It's almost time, let's get down to business!"
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and decided that if he bought too many, they wouldn’t fit in the backpack and would be too heavy, so he might as well wait until he sold the Ganoderma lucidum before buying more.
[Sign-in location: Jishitang backyard, please sign in as soon as possible! ]
Three tasks were released in a row today. It seems that I need to go out more.
Jiang Youzhen was very excited, so she would have to visit more places later.
"Young man, I wonder if your boss has come back?" Jiang Youzhen grabbed the medicine boy again and asked.
The herbalist nodded. "Yes, he came back, but he doesn't look very happy. What herbs are you planning to sell? I'll let you know."
"Thank you, young man! I just picked a Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains of my hometown and wanted to sell it for money." Jiang Youzhen approached the medicine boy and whispered.
The medicine boy looked at Jiang Youzhen in surprise, his expression was full of envy.
"Then wait a minute!"
The backyard of "Jishitang" is where the medicinal materials are dried. Jiang Youzhen was brought to the backyard by the medicine boy, and the shopkeeper came out from the inner room.
At this time, the system reward has been obtained, and it is exactly what Jiang Youzhen needs.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the sign-in at the backyard of Jishitang. The host is rewarded with a copy of the "Herb Illustrated Book". Please keep up the good work! ]
Jiang Youzhen was delighted, this was like a pillow just waiting for him when he was sleepy!
With more knowledge about herbs, going up the mountain to collect herbs and selling them for money will be a way out.
"I heard you guys are selling Ganoderma lucidum, let me see it."
Before the medicine boy had the chance to introduce the shopkeeper, he saw that the shopkeeper's expression was not right, so he could only give Jiang Youzhen a look that told him to wish him good luck, and then slipped away.
Since the other party came straight to the point, there was no need for Jiang Youzhen to be polite.
"Look, shopkeeper. This Ganoderma lucidum must be fifty years old, right?" Jiang Youzhen put the backpack in front of Shopkeeper Liu.
In fact, she had thought about it carefully last night. She had seen ginseng in her previous life and knew that these things had ages.
I carefully observed the cap last night and found something similar to annual rings on it.
Shopkeeper Liu picked up the Ganoderma lucidum from the backpack. From the first sight, he knew it was a good thing.
A fifty-year-old one is already rare, and it is Ganoderma lucidum with good quality. If it is sold to a wealthy family, it can make a fortune.
"You seem to be knowledgeable." Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the father and son. They looked like farmers without much knowledge.
But he was not as cruel as the second shopkeeper. He always felt that even if he ate meat, he should leave a bowl of soup for others, and that the right way to deal with things was not to go to extremes.
“This is the largest clinic in the county, and we always offer fair prices to farmers who come to sell their medicines.
Since this Ganoderma lucidum is of good quality, I will give you two hundred and sixty taels of silver."
Jiang Fugui's face was filled with surprise and disbelief. "Boss, didn't you say it would be around a hundred taels?"
Even Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. She thought it would be at most one hundred and thirty or forty taels. It seems that Ganoderma lucidum is indeed a good thing, especially when it is of high age.
Although he was shocked in his heart, Jiang You did not show it on his face.
She shook her head. "Boss, fifty-year-old flowers are not common, right? In our village, a twenty-year-old flower could be sold for one hundred and sixty taels. What do you think?"
In fact, Jiang Youzhen was just talking nonsense, but she was now very sure that the flower that Dazhuang's father had given her was definitely worth more than fifty taels of silver.
Either the town couldn't afford the price, or they were trying to trick Dazhuang's father, an ignorant farmer.
Or maybe Da Zhuang's father didn't tell the truth because he was afraid of arousing jealousy.
The shopkeeper was very surprised. He thought that with this price, the father and son would be so happy that they would be at a loss as to what to do.
According to his observation just now, the father was indeed so happy that he was at a loss, but he didn't expect that the boy in front of him had some knowledge.
"You can go ask other clinics. Our price is already the highest. If yours is a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, the price will be more than doubled. A good one can be sold for seven or eight hundred taels.
But the fifty-year-old one is more than half as effective, so it’s a good deal at this price.”
Because of the good quality of the medicinal materials, Shopkeeper Liu was willing to talk to Jiang Youzhen a few more words.
If he came across ordinary medicinal herbs, he would not even bother to talk about them.
"Three hundred taels, how about that? I know the shopkeeper is a good person, so I came to you. We poor people only recognize Jishiditang and Shopkeeper Liu."
These words made Manager Liu's expression suddenly ease. He had been practicing medicine for many years and had a good reputation. He believed that he could save the world and live up to his conscience.
"You are a good talker, kid. That's all! Just consider it as a good relationship. Three hundred taels is a bit high, but I am willing to buy it. Not for the money, but for more good herbs to save lives."
As Manager Liu spoke, he called a little boy to find the accountant to get the silver bills. The boy was to his liking, so he was willing to give him some profit.
"Manager Liu is a man of high moral character, practicing medicine to help the world, not for fame or gain, which makes us ordinary people ashamed."
Jiang Youzhen pretended to be ashamed, thinking to himself, what's the point of reputation? Isn't it just 40 taels more? Wouldn't it be nice to buy some food and clothes?
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu carefully looked Jiang Youzhen up and down. He really didn't expect that a mere farmer's boy could speak so eloquently and have such awareness.
No wonder he felt that Jiang Youzhen was extraordinary when he saw him just now.
"Judging from your words, have you read books?"
Jiang Youzhen smiled a little embarrassedly, "Just got enlightened!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded, and then said to Jiang Fugui who was standing behind Jiang Youzhen: "Your young man is quite good. Now that you have money, you should not waste your time on studying."
Jiang Fugui didn't know how to answer for a moment, he was very worried.
This girl suddenly became too competitive, so competitive that it scared him a little.
"From now on, if you have any medicinal materials, just send them to Jishitang. We guarantee a fair price."
Shopkeeper Liu liked Jiang Youzhen's personality very much and finally smiled.
Carrying three hundred taels of silver, Jiang Youzhen took Jiang Fugui out of the backyard of "Jishidiang".
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the backs of the father and son and nodded, "How can a golden fish stay in a pond..."
I'm in a good mood and must go shopping!
"Dad! Let's go buy some jewelry? My second sister and her friends need some dowry for their wedding, and there are many styles of jewelry in the county."
Jiang Youzhen was still chattering, and Jiang Fugui couldn't help but grabbed her sleeve.
"Erlang, did we really sell it for three hundred taels?"
As soon as Jiang Fugui finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and immediately looked around vigilantly.
"Yes! Dad, so our family is rich now."
Jiang Youzhen said it again tirelessly: this father was completely overwhelmed by joy.
"Are there really so many? It's like a dream. It's a good thing I listened to you and came to the county town."
Jiang Youzhen didn't care about Jiang Fugui's thoughts. She had already taken Jiang Fugui to the largest silver shop in the county, Baoyu Silver Shop.
Hey! This name immediately reminded her of one of the four great masterpieces in her previous life.
