Time Travel Female Queen, Legend of Medicine Saint
Chapter 60: Selling Ginseng Wisely
Jiang Qingchen walked around Yong'an City for a while and saw a cloth shop, so he went in and picked out a good robe.
The soft fabric and exquisite workmanship made her feel valuable.
When you wear it, you instantly feel that your temperament has improved a lot. She nodded with satisfaction, "Boss, how much does this robe cost?"
The pudgy boss stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss, you have really good taste. This is fine brocade. You know the goods so well, I'll give you 5 taels."
A piece of clothing costs 5 taels. Isn't it just because your accent is not from Yong'an City that you are blackmailing yourself?
Jiang Qingchen took a breath of air and said, "Boss, this is too expensive. Less, 500 yuan. I will pay now."
After bargaining half the price, and then cutting half and half again, Jiang Qingchen used all the tricks her grandmother had taught her. Fortunately, Fugui gave her all the ten taels of silver.
But she secretly put five taels of silver into Jiang Fugui. How could she live alone in her parents' house without money?
In this way, she went out with only 5 taels of silver.
When you go to the Bai family, if you come to the door wearing coarse clothes, the Bai family will definitely look down on you.
But it was a pity that the only five taels of silver were spent. This money was half of the belongings of my small family.
The boss glanced at Jiang Qingchen and thought to himself that this foreigner was quite knowledgeable.
He immediately said with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, I think it's not easy for you to go out. I'll give you 500 yuan as a favor. If you buy well, I'll come back next time."
In fact, Jiang Qingchen didn't know the price of clothes. He really didn't have any money on hand, so he could only spend it cowardly.
Not to mention, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on its saddle.
As soon as she puts on this green robe, her whole body becomes more energetic. With her delicate facial features and fair skin, she doesn't look like a country girl at all.
Even the boss looked straight in the eyes. She wondered if this woman was a young lady from a wealthy family who was in trouble. "Miss, you have such a good temperament. Your family must be from a wealthy family."
Jiang Qingchen sneered in his heart. He is not a rich man, but he is a rich man. "The boss is joking, which pharmacy here has the best ginseng?"
"Miss, do you want to buy ginseng?" The cloth store owner's eyes lit up. It seems that this woman is really a rich person. No wonder she knows the goods.
She led Jiang Qingchen to stand at the door of the shop and pointed forward, "Ms. Jiang, follow this road to the end, turn right and pass three shops. Yong'an Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in Yong'an City. What kind of medicinal materials are there? All.”
Jiang Qingchen thanked the enthusiastic boss and went straight to the drug store. It was indeed a big drug store.
At the door, you can smell the various smells of medicinal materials permeating the medicine shop, and the medicine cabinets are neatly arranged.
Jiang Qingchen pretended to be a customer buying medicine and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell the best ginseng here?"
When a customer came to the door, the shopkeeper responded enthusiastically: "Hey, Miss, you came at the right time. I just got a 500-year-old ginseng yesterday. It's in excellent condition, but the price is..."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Qingchen. She saw a lot of dignitaries. Although this woman was well-dressed, she really didn't look like someone who could afford 500-year-old ginseng.
Jiang Qingchen said calmly, "Let's take a look at your goods first."
The shopkeeper was also easy to talk to and took out an exquisite box from inside.
I saw that this ginseng was a rare rhombus. The skin of the ginseng was dark, with fine and deep iron lines. The circles were facing each other and not connected. The beard was nearly 1.5 meters long. It was indeed quite old.
"Good ginseng, it's really good. How much does it cost?" Jiang Qingchen nodded repeatedly, speaking as if she could easily afford it.
"It's not expensive, only 20 taels of silver." The shopkeeper suspected that he had made a mistake. The foreign woman in front of him should be a rich man. She didn't have any abnormal reaction when she saw the 500-year-old water chestnut. I'm afraid she was a rich man. Used to good ginseng.
She was secretly happy in her heart, but still kept her expression, "Unfortunately, this is not what I want."
She slowly described the type and quality of ginseng she needed. After hearing this, the shopkeeper showed a troubled look on his face and said: "The quality of the ginseng that the lady needs is very good. It cannot look like this if it is not thousands of years old. This kind of ginseng is extremely rare. I have been dealing with ginseng all year round." No one has ever seen it, let alone sold it, so only the nobles in the capital can enjoy it."
"No way?" Jiang Qingchen looked around the entire pharmacy, "I was told that this is the largest pharmacy in Yong'an City. It has all kinds of expensive medicines. Shopkeeper, are you afraid that I can't afford it?"
The shopkeeper couldn't tell Jiang Qingchen's real background, so he said with an apologetic smile, "Wherever, thousand-year-old ginseng only costs 200 taels. A noble person like you can definitely afford it, but I really don't have it here. These 500-year-old ginsengs are all The herb collector worked hard for half his life to get it. If you had this thousand-year-old ginseng, I would buy it and make it a treasure."
After a long detour, we finally reached the highlight. Jiang Qingchen smiled slightly and took out two sticks of the best thousand-year-old ginseng from the package.
When the shopkeeper saw it, his eyes were dumbfounded and he said with full praise: "It is really a thousand-year-old ginseng. Not only is it very old, but its mouth is also very good. I am so lucky. This is the first time I have seen this ginseng in my life." Millennium Ginseng, Miss, do you want to ship this? How much does it cost?"
Only then did she understand that Jiang Qingchen's purchase of ginseng was fake, but the sale of ginseng was real. She couldn't help but take a second look at Jiang Qingchen. This woman was really smart.
Then, the shopkeeper gave an unexpected base price of 50 taels.
Jiang Qingchen was stunned. She didn't understand why the price of such a good ginseng was so low. Didn't it cost 200 taels just now?
The shopkeeper looked at her doubts and explained: "Miss, our Yong'an City is not as good as the Capital City. It's difficult to ship items that are too expensive. Besides, I'm running a shop, so I have to make some profit. I'll buy it for 50 taels, and then add some money." Sell it. Make a living."
If Jiang Qingchen wasn't in a hurry to ask for money, he would really be reluctant to sell it to the shopkeeper of this medicine shop. If he took it to the capital, a piece of such a good ginseng that was thousands of years old should be sold for thousands of taels.
Rich people in the capital want these good things to give as gifts, and are willing to pay any amount of money in order to give gifts to those above.
"My ginseng is not much better than yours from 500 years ago. How can the price be the same? Forget it if you don't want it. The prefect's mother has a birthday tomorrow. I will take it to honor her tomorrow. Maybe the prefect will reward me with a few hundred if he is happy. It’s not necessarily the same thing.” She said as she pretended to wrap up the ginseng.
The shopkeeper hurriedly held her hand and said, "Wait a minute, 80 taels per stick. I want both of them. That's okay."
Jiang Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Okay, that's it. It's a pity that my thousand-year-old ginseng is so worthless and landed in this small place. If I hadn't walked to Guibao and lost the banknote, I would have lost my money." I can’t bear to part with this treasure.”
"160 taels, please keep the money!" The shopkeeper handed the money to Jiang Qingchen and happily stored the ginseng carefully.
After coming out of Yong'an Pharmacy, Jiang Qingchen suddenly felt happy. It felt so good to be a poor man and suddenly have money.
But she soon became worried again. What gift should she buy to go to the White House? It feels so difficult to give gifts!
