Chapter 1119 Buyer of wild ginseng
Ye Qingqing hid behind the pillar and watched secretly for a while. Seeing that the two brothers were not fighting, he ignored them and went back to the house to count the money.
Looking at the large pieces of silver and piles of copper plates on the table, Ye Qingqing's eyes were shining.
"Count the money, count the money, my little money."
The stall's business was pretty good today. Except for the remaining few kilograms of cured pork ribs and two cured rabbits, everything else was sold out.
Ordinary dried mushrooms weigh 230 kilograms and cost 23 Wen per kilogram, totaling 5 taels and 290 Wen.
There are 28 kilograms of morels, 180 yuan per kilogram, a total of 5 taels and 40 yuan.
There are 27 kilograms of gallinobacteria, 150 wen per kilogram, a total of 4 taels and 50 wen.
腊肠200斤、腊肉400斤,36一斤,总共是21两600文。
35 rabbits were sold, totaling 104 kilograms, 32 cents per catty, totaling 3 taels and 328 cents.
The cured pork ribs sold for 35 kilograms, 28 yuan per kilogram, a total of 980 yuan.
10 rabbit fur coats, 5 taels of silver each, a total of 50 taels.
12 sheepskin coats, 6 taels of silver each, a total of 72 taels.
The herbs collected from Gravel Mountain earned a total of 4 taels and 2 coins.
In total, I earned 166 taels and 488 yuan today.
This money seems like a lot, but 122 taels of it were obtained from selling leather goods.
And I have been saving every year since last year, and I have been saving leather goods for more than half a year.
The other bacon and dried mushrooms were sold for a total of more than forty taels.
It doesn't look like much, but it's basically sold once every two or three months.
Ye Qingqing was very satisfied with today's income and planned to kill a chicken to celebrate in the evening.
When they came out of the room, they saw the two brothers each holding a large conch and already playing happily.
Ye Qingqing doesn't care how the education process goes, as long as they reconcile as before.
Seeing that the relationship between the two brothers was not bad, Ye Qingqing turned around and went to the chicken pen and caught the fattest little hen.
"Kill a chicken tonight, and you two brothers will each get a big chicken drumstick."
"I'll help you light the fire, mother." Chenchen's face showed two small pear nests, looking sweet and sweet.
"Yeah, yeah, mother..."
Although Yangyang didn't understand what they were talking about, he was dancing with joy.
After dinner, Ye Qingqing took Tang Xiaojing to see the prepared wild ginseng with great interest.
Wild ginseng of this size is not common, and when it is sold later, I won’t be able to see it again even if I want to.
While he was still at home, Ye Qingqing came over every day to visit.
However, compared to Baihuahua Yinzi, Ye Qingqing still prefers Yinzi.
Gold that gleams blindly is her favorite.
In the afternoon of the next day, someone from the escort agency came over and said that a wealthy businessman in the county wanted to buy wild ginseng.
I learned from people who came here that the buyer was a wealthy family in the county and wanted to buy it as a gift for his mother-in-law. As long as it was in good condition and the price was negotiable.
Ye Qingqing saw that it was already getting late, and even if he left for the county now, it would still be evening.
So they made an agreement with the people who came over. Tomorrow morning the father and son would take wild ginseng to the county and have a detailed discussion with the buyer.
At night, the father and son heard that someone wanted to buy wild ginseng, and they were so excited that they almost couldn't sleep.
Early the next morning, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing went to the county with wild ginseng in high spirits.
Because the escort agency acted as an intermediary, the two parties made an appointment to meet inside the escort agency.
As soon as the father and son entered the house, the door was pushed open again.
What came over was a middle-aged man who looked similar to Tangshan.
With a round figure and a smile on his face, he looks like an all-around old fox.
This middle-aged man is a filial son, and he wants to buy this wild ginseng as a birthday gift for his mother.
As soon as the middle-aged man sat down, Tang Xiaojing handed the wild ginseng in his hand to the man for inspection without saying a word.
"The quality of this wild ginseng is not bad, but the age is a little low. It would be better if it could be 50 years old." The middle-aged man said indifferently, looking indifferent.
Tang Xiaojing took a sip of tea calmly, and then said calmly:
"Boss Lin is really joking. Wild ginseng is rare. The 20-year-old ginseng has very good effects. The 30-year-old ginseng is a treasure. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it if you are or years old."
Tang Xiaojing's words were not nonsense. The man thought for a while and said:
"I want this wild ginseng for 65 taels of silver."
Tang Xiaojing smiled and said nothing, obviously not satisfied with the price.
He has been an apprentice in the pharmacy for three years, and he knows the general market price of wild ginseng.
The older the wild ginseng is, the more rare it is. If he sells such a large wild ginseng directly to a drug store, it is normal for him to pay 65 taels of silver.
But selling it to outsiders would cost seventy or eighty taels of silver.
If he really wants to sell it for 65 taels, then he might as well sell it directly to Shopkeeper Wang. At least he is an acquaintance and can at least sell him a favor.
Seeing that Tang Xiaojing was unmoved, the middle-aged man raised the price a little more:
"Seventy taels of silver, no matter how high it is, it won't be worth it."
Tang Xiaojing and the man went back and forth, chatting for nearly two quarters of an hour, and finally sold the wild ginseng at a high price of 75 taels of silver.
The two handed over silver in one hand and wild ginseng in the other. When they left the house, everyone had happy faces.
The wealthy businessman patted Tang Xiaojing on the shoulder, "If you have precious herbs or rare gadgets next time, you can contact me at any time."
"Okay, thank you very much, Boss Lin, for taking care of me."
After selling the wild ginseng, Tang Shan went to drink with his former brothers, while Tang Xiaojing turned around and went to the nearest bank.
Yesterday I went shopping at the pier and received more than 100 taels. Most of them were broken silver and copper plates, which took up a lot of space.
Before going out, Ye Qingqing gave him a small pile of large and small silver nuggets and asked him to exchange them for gold nuggets.
Including the 75 taels of silver from selling wild ginseng, Tang Xiaojing exchanged a total of 10 gold nuggets at the bank.
Each piece weighs two taels, and the total value is 200 taels of gold nuggets.
Because of these gold nuggets, Tang Xiaojing was cautious when he went back, fearing that others would see that he had a huge sum of money.
If a wild dog jumps out on the road, you will break out in a cold sweat.
The two-hour journey was suddenly shortened to one hour. When I got home, the cows pulling the cart were exhausted.
Ye Qingqing was almost blinded when he saw these 10 shining gold bars.
"This gold nugget is extraordinary. It's so shiny that my eyes were almost blinded."
If it weren't for the fear of burglars, Ye Qingqing would have wanted to sleep with these treasures in her arms.
After two days, the family received more than two hundred taels of silver. Ye Qingqing was smiling when he went to bed at night.
Moreover, her family's savings are increasing, and she estimates that she will be able to buy another house in the county by the end of the year.
