MTL - The Global Reshuffle of Space-Chapter 44 Selling ginseng (plus more)
Chapter 44 Selling Ginseng (Addition)
Holding a dark cloth bag, Xiao Xingzhou knocked on the pharmacy where he often sells medicinal materials. The owner, Chang Heng, a man in his fifties, opened the door.
The man has a ruddy complexion and is of medium height. When he saw Xiao Xingzhou, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
His chubby face narrowed his eyes, and he knew that as long as Xiao Xingzhou came to the door, it meant that he could make a small profit again.
"Uncle Xiao, please come inside!
You haven't been here for a long time, why do you have time to come here today? "
Chang Heng beckoned people into the house with a face of knowing nothing, but his eyes fell on the cloth bag in Xiao Xingzhou's hand from time to time.
He knew that something that could be wrapped in cloth must be valuable.
The two have been dealing with medicinal materials for thirty years, and Chang Heng is very familiar with some of Xiao Xingzhou's habits.
Chang Heng looked outside when he closed the door, but there was no one on the road.
The two air conditioners in the house were working, and the cool temperature made Xiao Xingzhou feel relaxed. He secretly sighed that this guy is also capable.
Just looking at the two air conditioners in his house, you can tell that air-conditioning appliances are in short supply nowadays, and they cannot be bought with money.
Xiao Xingzhou is quite concerned about not buying enough air conditioners for his family. Fortunately, the old man Li has two fans.
At the beginning of the house renovation, he bought two because it was too hot on the platform, otherwise there would be no air conditioner at home.
In these years, because I lived in a cave, it was warm in winter and cool in summer, so I never thought about buying an air conditioner.
Chang Heng noticed Xiao Xingzhou's gaze on the air conditioner, but there was nothing he could do now.
Because he bought those two air conditioners at a high price with a few favors.
Now there are no air conditioners on the market at all, and even fans seldom appear.
"Uncle Xiao, did you find anything good today?
Because of the weather, the price of medicinal materials has increased.
I will accept no matter how many medicinal materials you have, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. "
Xiao Xingzhou shook his head, sighed and frowned: "This year's medicinal materials are not ready, they are all sun-dried, and I haven't even earned back the seed money.
However, I got a good thing, you give me the palm of my hand! "
Xiao Xingzhou pushed the cloth bag in his hand in front of Chang Heng, and Chang Heng skillfully opened the cloth bag.
Thick leaves wrap a fresh ginseng, and the root system is developed and begins to take shape.
"Uncle Xiao, I've been here for at least forty years!
It is completely close to the quality of wild ginseng, is there anything else? "
The joy in Chang Heng's eyes was undisguised. Both of them were old people who had known each other for many years, and they knew each other's temperament very well.
"It's gone, only this one has survived so far.
Let me tell you a price, and I will sell it to you if it is suitable. There are quite a lot of things to buy at home, and I will hardly be able to eat any more. "
Xiao Xingzhou complained without changing his face, but he couldn't let others think that he had a lot of things at home.
Now he is an old man who can barely afford to eat, and he has to raise a little granddaughter who can eat. The burden is heavy!
Chang Heng was a little embarrassed for a while. He had been in Nanping Town for decades, but he had confiscated ginseng as a medicinal material.
Because this kind of medicinal material is not produced locally at all, even less is planted. This is the first time he heard Xiao Xingzhou say that it was planted.
But the year is the real deal, which is completely equivalent to the quality of wild ginseng. If it is lower, it must not have his share.
Chang Heng believes that as long as he lowers the price, Xiao Xingzhou can immediately take the things and leave.
"Uncle Xiao, wait a minute, I'll make a call!"
"Okay, wait for you for half an hour!"
Xiao Xingzhou never thought that he could only sell ginseng to Chang Heng. As long as the price is not satisfactory, he would rather not sell ginseng than sell it cheaply.
If it weren't for lack of money, he would not have sold ginseng, which he planted with his son.
With father and son full of memories, now things are different.
Chang Heng quickly came out of the room and quoted a price directly.
"Uncle Xiao, five million!"
The reason why he gave a high price is because more than 90% of the ginseng on the market is round ginseng, and there are basically no wild ginseng.
Many years of extensive excavation, wild ginseng has basically disappeared, and the existing ones are all artificially planted.
The most important thing is that the year is not enough. If it is good, it will be the first-class product in a decade or so.
Forty-year-old products like this one can be said to be treasures. There are many rich and noble families who are willing to pay a high price to buy them back for health preservation.
Chang Heng is well aware of the value of this ginseng. If it is sold in Kyoto, the price can be doubled.
But in a small place like Nanping Town, this is already the highest price. After all, consumption is limited, so it is impossible for him to trade at a loss.
"make a deal!"
Xiao Xingzhou is still very satisfied with this price, and this price is the only way to get the money as soon as possible.
"Give me a copy of all the medicinal seeds in your store, and I won't be going out of the mountain in a short time.
Prepare some commonly used medicines, such as western medicines for colds and fevers. "
Chang Heng put the ginseng in a good-looking solid wooden box, quickly transferred the money to Xiao Xingzhou, and sighed.
"Uncle Xiao, there is no problem with the medicinal seeds, but the common medicines are now under strict control, and the medicines in my store are still imported.
I can prepare some for you, but I really don’t have too much. I can give you a week’s supply at most, and no more. "
Chang Heng stood by the door and heard no movement outside before turning back and whispering.
"Uncle Xiao, to tell you the truth, the medicines are no longer in stock, and my medicines are not going to be sold.
If you came one day later, I would have already left Nanping Town.
Don't look at the medicines on the shelves, but they are actually empty boxes, and many medicines are gone.
What I left here is still for my own family. The seeds don’t need money, and I will give you all the rest.
There is a chance to see you next year. If the weather is still like this, I will not come to Nanping Town. "
Chang Heng glanced at this store he had been in for more than thirty years.
He is used to life here, but his wife and children insist on leaving, so he can only choose to leave.
As for the house, it was bought as soon as the news was released yesterday, and it was still paid in full.
This time he is going to take his family to Kyoto, and it happens that ginseng can make a fortune, so buying a smaller house in Kyoto should not be a big problem.
Chang Heng believes that no matter how the weather changes or how chaotic the world is, as the capital of a country, Kyoto will always be safer.
He wants to take away the air conditioner at home, and everything else that can be dealt with, except for the medicine cabinet.
"Uncle Xiao, do you see if these medicine cabinets are useful to you? Pull them back if you need them!"
"Okay, it happens that there is no furniture in the house, and it can save a lot of money by pulling it back, thank you!"
Xiao Xingzhou felt that he was like an old man picking up rags, moving everything home, and he really went back more and more.
The family has fallen!
"Can we still buy food in large quantities?"
What Xiao Xingzhou actually wanted was to buy some coarse grains to feed the poultry. There was still grain for the family, but he couldn’t say it clearly.
Welcome to favorites! Ask for a recommendation ticket.
