Fang Chenhao, who was eating noodles, suddenly thought of something and whispered to Fang Chenxi, "Sister, I have some beautiful cups here. Do you want to take them out? They are collected by my mother. There are quite a few of them."

Fang Chenxi realized that glass and crystal cups should be very valuable in this dynasty: "Grandpa Lin, we have glass cups. Can we take out crystal cups? I think this thing should be very valuable here."

Liu's mother was sitting next to Liu's father and also heard what Fang Chenxi said quietly. But what she thought in her heart was that these two children were really simple-minded. The things they just talked about were probably all their family's belongings.

"Xixi, you and your brother shouldn't sell everything. Leave some for yourselves. You won't starve to death anyway. You will be our own children from now on. Don't be restrained. You will be a family in the future. You still have to save some for yourself."

Father Liu nodded. He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others. There were many good things in his family: "Then you just need to prepare two glasses, and keep your mother's jewelry as a souvenir!

We can't take out too many of these rare things. We seem to have cups as well, but the crystal cups are probably too high-end, so let's not take them out for the time being. In case they attract the attention of people with bad intentions, we'll get into trouble.

It's settled. Xixi, you take a pair of cups, Weizhong, your family will provide the Ganoderma lucidum, and our family will prepare three bracelets. It's not advisable to have too much Ganoderma lucidum, as for how many to sell, you can decide based on the circumstances when the time comes!

We should definitely sell all the medicinal herbs that can be sold to free up space, but the medicinal herbs are probably not that valuable."

"it is good"

"it is good"

After everyone finished eating, Liu's mother went to pay the copper coins, a total of two hundred coins. This price was probably the price in a famine year, a little more expensive than usual, but there was no way around it as water resources were in short supply.

After eating and drinking, the group started strolling on the street, first getting to know what kind of shops there were on the main street, such as pawnshops, pharmacy shops, jewelry shops, clothing shops, grain shops, etc., and also getting a general idea of ​​the price level.

"Let's split up! Wei Zhong, take Keyu to the pharmacy to sell Ganoderma lucidum. From the questions just now, I know that Ganoderma lucidum is a precious medicinal material and its price should not be cheap. Selling one or two will be enough.

Caixia took Xiaolu and the other three to the pawnshop to sell Ganoderma lucidum, and sold them to different stores. I thought we should just wait and see for the best as for the bracelets, so my wife and I took Chenxi and his sister to sell cups.

I will see when I sell them out, if I don’t have enough silver, I will sell the bracelets. I always think that bracelets are like gold, they are things that maintain their value.

If I meet a lady from a wealthy family, or someone I like, the price might be much higher.”

"Okay, Dad, you guys have to be careful. When you're done, go to the entrance of the street at the East Gate and wait for us. Then we'll go to Yazi's place together to buy an ox cart and a servant to drive it."

After Liu Caixia finished speaking, she took her men away and divided them into three groups, heading in different directions.

Liu Xiaolu had already taken out a small Ganoderma lucidum and wrapped it in coarse cloth. Since they would take it out to dry in the sun when they had time along the way, they kept it in the space most of the time and it was well preserved.

It looks like fresh produce that has been picked not long ago, so it will be more convincing when its origin is explained.

When they arrived at the pawnshop, someone just came out. Liu Caixia took Liu Xiaolu in, and Liu Caiyun and Liu Xiaomei waited at the door and took a look at the surrounding environment.

"Shopkeeper, do you want Lingzhi?"

"Oh, Lingzhi, of course I will collect it. But it depends on the quality of the goods."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he led the two people to the counter and motioned Liu Caixia to take out the Ganoderma lucidum.

Liu Caixia gently untied the coarse cloth, and a small Ganoderma lucidum with bright color and plump shape appeared in front of everyone, exuding a faint natural fragrance, which was obviously the result of careful care and preservation.

The shopkeeper took the Ganoderma lucidum, looked at it carefully, and occasionally touched its surface with his fingertips to feel its texture and moisture, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Shopkeeper, my family has been practicing medicine for generations. Although I am a girl, I have learned a lot about medicinal materials since I was a child. I have learned to recognize some herbs since I was a child in the hope that I can have more survival skills in the future. Lingzhi will never make a mistake in quality!"

"Yes, it is indeed top-quality Ganoderma lucidum. Judging from its freshness, it must have been picked recently, right? How much do you plan to sell it for?"

The shopkeeper put the Ganoderma lucidum back on the table and asked Liu Caixia about her intentions.

The shopkeeper knew it was Ganoderma lucidum at first sight. "It's red Ganoderma lucidum, and it looks to be about fifty years old. Fortunately, you brought it to me. If other smaller pawnshops couldn't accept it, I would give you a fair price. Two hundred taels for one, and four hundred taels for two.

If you take it to other pharmacies, no one will be able to eat two Ganoderma. If they sell it individually, they may not be able to get this much. I also want to buy them together to avoid you selling them to two other pharmacies and competing with us."

I don’t know if the shopkeeper really gave a genuine price or he was just pretending.

Liu Caixia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the shopkeeper was so ruthless and didn't talk much. She didn't know the price and didn't know whether he was trying to cheat them.

Regardless of whether they understand the market conditions or not, bargaining is an essential step.

"Boss, we won't hide it from you. These two Ganoderma lucidum were found by chance in the deep mountains and old forests. We wanted to keep them for our own use, but our family is in urgent need of money recently, so we thought of pawning them. Would you like to add some more?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, as if he was weighing the value of the Ganoderma lucidum and the market situation in his mind, and then quoted a price: "How about this, I see that you are sincere, I will add 20 taels to this Ganoderma lucidum, if you raise the price again, I will have to send you away, how about it?"

Liu Caixia just wanted to give it a try and didn't expect to be paid more.

She will sell it whether she adds it or not.

It was a pleasant surprise to get an extra twenty taels now, but she didn't show it on her face. She pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding and saying, "The shopkeeper is really straightforward. Deal!"

The shopkeeper called to your room, "Xiao Quan, come over here and look after the shop!"

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will go in and prepare the silver."

After the man named Xiaoquan came over, the shopkeeper went into the inner room and left the Ganoderma lucidum on the counter without taking it away. At this time, Liu Caiyun said, "Someone is coming!"

Liu Caixia covered the Ganoderma lucidum with a coarse cloth, and when she saw the person coming, she quietly took out something and showed it to Xiaoquan, and asked Xiaoquan to quote a price. Xiaoquan gave a finger.

The man took a look, shook his head and raised two fingers, watching them bargain back and forth. In the end, no one knew how much the deal was made, and the man took the money and left.

The shopkeeper also came out from the inner room and put the banknotes and silver on the counter: "Madam, please count them!"
