Little Chef [Rebirth]

"The root of this ginseng is still covered with soil. Have you entered the deep mountains?" The shopkeeper asked in surprise as he looked down at the ginseng in his hand.

"Well, I went there yesterday." Ning Xiuyuan didn't hide anything. Everyone in Nancheng knows that there are mountain treasures hidden in the mountains outside the city, but everyone cherishes their lives, so very few people intend to risk their lives into the mountains. Therefore, there are many kinds of rare and rare herbs in the deep mountains. Although ginseng and ganoderma are rare, they are also available.

Knowing that Ning Xiuyuan and the others really went up to the mountain to dig it, the shopkeeper was still a little surprised: "You guys are really brave. This ginseng grows in the deep mountains, and in the forests, even hunters dare not go in."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he fondly looked at the several plants of ginseng and ganoderma in his hand, thought for a while, and then asked again: "Do you really want to sell these ginseng and ganoderma?"

"Yes, we want to sell it." Ning Xiuyuan said, "It's not very useful for us to keep this medicinal material for ourselves. Let's see, shopkeeper, what price can it sell for?"

Among the three ginseng plants, two are more than 400 years old, and the other is more than 100 years old. Ganoderma lucidum, and a dozen other precious herbs, if you want to get these, the price must not be too low.

The shopkeeper knocked on the table, pondered for a while, and then he said: "Since you two are willing to sell this ginseng and ganoderma to me, then I can't treat you badly. How about it, three ginseng 700 taels, two ganoderma 400 taels, 200 taels for the other dozens of herbs, a total of 300 taels, what do you think?"

Ning Xiuyuan was a little surprised. Although he knew that there were ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, the price that could be sold was not low, but he did not expect to be able to sell such a high price. Just as he was about to agree, he was pulled away by Mo Fanyu Sleeve, he turned his head in doubt, and saw Mo Fanyu shaking his head slightly at him.

"Xiao Yuan, listen to what I have to say."

Mo Fanyu leaned closer to Ning Xiuyuan's ear, lowered his voice, and said softly: "The price is too low. These three ginseng can be sold for at least 900 taels, and the price of two ganoderma lucidum is definitely not 400 taels. As for the other herbs , just take out one of them, and go to a drugstore casually, and you can sell it for 30 taels of silver."

"..."

Hearing Mo Fanyu's words, Ning Xiuyuan calculated in his heart, then nodded to him to show that he understood, then put away his smile, and said to shopkeeper Xin who was looking at him: "It seems that the shopkeeper is not If you sincerely want to do this business with us, then forget it, there are other pharmacies in this southern city, we just take it to talk to them, I believe they will be more sincere."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he stood up, stopped him quickly, and said: "Don't be like this, you two, sit down and rest for a while, I will ask the waiter to serve you tea, and you let me think about it."

Hearing this, Ning Xiuyuan and Mo Fanyu looked at each other and agreed: "Okay."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, and after personally inviting the two to sit down, he ordered the waiter to serve tea, and then sat down himself, as if thinking about it.

The buddy brought the tea very quickly, and after about a cup of tea, the shopkeeper finally finished thinking about it, he considered his words, and then spoke slowly.

"Hey, I can give you 300 taels more at most, no more. Don't look at my shop as big, but it doesn't make money. Look at this free clinic once a week, and no consultation fee from the common people. It is already a loss-making business to only take medicine money, and my family still has to live, and it is the limit to be able to spend 600 taels. If you still think it is not enough, then I can only bear the pain, and you will Go find another place."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed again and again, as if it was true as he said, that being able to pay 600 taels was already his limit.

Hearing that the shopkeeper said to add 300 taels, Ning Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Mo Fanyu, only to see that Mo Fanyu still shook his head, signaling him to be calm, and then said: "If that's the case, how about this, let's take back one Ganoderma lucidum and a 400-year-old ginseng, and the rest are sold to the shopkeeper for a total of 200 taels of silver, what does the shopkeeper think?"

"..."

Shopkeeper Xin was taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect Mo Fanyu to propose such a method, he looked at the smiling young man sitting in front of him, and thought to himself, today is considered to be an expert.

Seeing that Mo Fanyu was completely clear about it, the shopkeeper knew that with this young man around, it might be impossible for him to take everything for 600 taels, unless he grabbed it hard.

But anyway, it's not bad to be able to buy two ginseng plants, not to mention one Ganoderma lucidum and more than a dozen herbal medicines. In this way, 200 taels is not a loss at all.

He stood up and walked around, as if he had made some decision. When he stopped, the shopkeeper took a look at Mo Fanyu, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Well, if that's the case, let's do what you said. You take one ginseng and one ganoderma, and I will take the rest." After speaking, he asked his assistant to fetch the silver.

Soon, the clerk came back with the silver, which was twelve 100 taels of silver bills. The shopkeeper took it and handed it to Ning Xiuyuan.

Ning Xiuyuan took the bank note, thought for a while, took out one to return to the shopkeeper, and said, "Please also ask the shopkeeper to change a 50 tael silver note for me, and as for the other 50 tael, I will exchange it for broken silver coins." , it will be much more convenient for me to use this."

Otherwise, as soon as he took out his hand, he would get 100 taels of silver bills. No matter how you look at it, he was saying to the thief: Look, I am me, and what I have is silver, so come and steal me, come and steal me...

Ning Xiuyuan didn't think he was a fool, so he didn't understand the principle of 'don't expose your money'.

"Ah, that's right, that's what it should be." The shopkeeper nodded in a daze, then took back the bank notes, and asked the clerk to go up and exchange them for broken silver according to Ning Xiuyuan's request.

After getting the silver, Ning Xiuyuan put it away, took a Ganoderma lucidum and a ginseng, bid farewell to the shopkeeper, and left.

Not long after they walked out of the pharmacy, they heard a voice of 'Wait a minute', so they stopped again. Ning Xiuyuan turned around and looked at the person who made the sound. It was the young gentleman who was still shaking his fan in the winter.

"Anything else?" Ning Xiuyuan asked.

"I have something to do." The young man smiled and waved the fan in his hand, walked slowly in front of them, and said: "I want to buy with you the remaining Ganoderma lucidum and a ginseng plant that you have left, and I would like to sell them again." 700 taels of silver to buy with you, I wonder if you are willing or not?"

Standing still five steps away from the two of them, he continued, "By the way, my surname is Gu, and my name is Jing. You can call me Gu Jing."

"..."

Mo Fanyu looked at Gu Jing, his eyes were full of scrutiny, and he asked before Ning Xiuyuan: "Since you want to buy ginseng, why did you..."

"I don't have that much money right now, and I don't need so many plants to participate in Ganoderma lucidum, let alone those herbs." Gu Jing said the next thing naturally, the fan was still shaking, looking very Feel free, if you don't look at the thick cotton clothes he's wearing, I'm afraid Ning Xiuyuan will really think that he's not cold at all.

"To tell you the truth, I want this Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, but I just used it as a gift for someone I don't like very much. If the gift is too expensive, I think it would be a waste. It just so happens that the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng you have are in good condition." They’re all pretty good, and you can take them out.”

"And I don't want to buy it from Xin Baizhi. That guy spent 1000 taels of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum from you. If he wants to resell it, the price will be doubled. I don't want to be taken advantage of. , it just so happens that you each keep one plant, which is exactly what I want, so I want to ask you to buy it."

"..." Ning Xiuyuan felt that he was a bit overwhelmed. Could it be that Gu Jing's temperament was too casual, and would it be too inappropriate to tell these two strangers so bluntly?

What's more, judging from his tone, he should be quite familiar with the shopkeeper Zhang. Is it okay to tell them directly that the other party will sell ginseng at double the price?

Although he is a bit embarrassing and energetic, Ning Xiuyuan likes Gu Jing's character, he is generous and direct enough. It would be even better if the fan in his hand could not be kept fanning in this winter day.

"How, do you want to do this business with me?" Gu Jing looked at Ning Xiuyuan and the others, and asked with a smile.

"Okay, we'll sell it to you." Ning Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied.

"Fresh. I like to negotiate business with straightforward people." Gu Jing took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to Ning Xiuyuan, and said with a smile: "But I don't have any broken silver to exchange for you, so you just make do with it." Take it."

Ning Xiuyuan took it and handed it to Mo Fanyu who was beside him, signaling him to put it away. Afterwards, he chatted with Gu Jing for a few more words, then took his leave and left.

Ning Xiuyuan didn't stop until he was sure that they had gone far away, and then the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, looking very excited.

They just sold some herbal medicines, and they actually earned nearly 2000 taels of silver. He didn't expect it at all. He thought that a few hundred taels at most was the most.

2000 taels of silver, what a huge number that is, ordinary people don't need to spend so much in a lifetime.

With this money, he can open his restaurant, and even buy a shop.

Ning Xiuyuan was completely surrounded by huge surprises, and temporarily lost his words.
