After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.
Chapter 20 Making Money
At this time, all kinds of shops and stalls in the town have already started business, the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another, and there is a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going on the street.
It was the first time for the three of them to come to the town. Lin Chu found everything new to them, while the two children were a little overwhelmed.
They seldom even left the Lin family’s house before. Now facing such a bustling town, the two of them nervously grabbed the corner of Lin Chuyi’s clothes, fearing that they would get separated from her.
Lin Chuyi sensed their uneasiness, so he pulled one of them in each hand and took them to the largest pharmacy in town.
The brother and sister were very obedient. They held Lin Chuyi's hands tightly and followed him closely.
Soon they arrived at the entrance of Huichuntang, the largest pharmacy in the town center, and Lin Chuyi pulled his younger brother and sister straight in.
The guy inside saw them and hurried over to greet them. After seeing their attire, he frowned slightly but still gave them a smile.
"This is Huichuntang. Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
Lin Chuyi did not miss the change in Yao Tong's expression just now, and she did not care much about it. Their clothes were now full of patches, so it was normal for them to be misunderstood.
"Young man, you misunderstood. We don't treat patients or prescribe medicine. I'm here to sell herbal medicine. I wonder if your store will accept it?"
The boy scratched his head and thought: Come to sell medicinal herbs? What medicinal herbs can a few kids know?
The waiter complained in his heart, but still replied politely: "It depends on what kind of herbs it is. Our store has a special supplier of herbs. We don't accept ordinary herbs. I don't know what herbs you have in your hand?"
After listening to this, Lin Chuyi nodded, turned the backpack in front of him, and lifted the wild vegetables covering it. The young man leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Lin Chuyi and then at the things in the backpack with a look of disbelief.
It's actually such a big ginseng! Wait! It's ginseng, right? I guess I'm not seeing things, am I?
The young man was torn between his conscience and his desires, but he quickly reacted and said to Lin Chuyi with a smile, "Well, wait a moment, I'll go get our shopkeeper to come over."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Lin Chuyi's reaction. Lin Chuyi covered the backpack and took the two siblings to the side to wait.
Lin Chuyi bought this ginseng in the space mall for 500 gold coins, and it was marked as a hundred-year-old ginseng.
01 came from the world of cultivation. The medicinal herbs there were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. The value of a hundred-year-old ginseng was not worth mentioning in her eyes, so the selling price was not expensive.
For Lin Chuyi, this age is good enough. It can be sold at a good price, but it won’t be too shocking.
Soon the waiter came back with a slightly plump middle-aged man. The man took a look at the siblings' attire, then glanced at the backpack behind her, and said with a smile: "I'm the shopkeeper here, my last name is Zhang, just call me Shopkeeper Zhang. It's not convenient here with so many people, can we go inside to talk?"
After saying that, Shopkeeper Zhang pointed to the room he had just come out of.
Lin Chuyi had just that idea, and nodded to Shopkeeper Zhang. The three siblings followed Shopkeeper Zhang and walked into the room together.
The shopkeeper asked them to sit down, and the waiter soon came in with a pot of tea. After pouring a cup of tea for each person, he put down the teapot and walked out, closing the door behind him when he left.
After Manager Zhang and his waiters had left, he got straight to the point.
"I heard from my buddy that the girl wants to sell a vintage ginseng. Can you let me see the quality of the ginseng first?"
"Of course." Lin Chuyi agreed readily. He took off the backpack, opened the cover, took out the ginseng and placed it in front of the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Zhang was so surprised: This ginseng is too big, it must be at least a hundred years old! It looks like it was just dug out not long ago, and the roots are intact. The ginseng digger must be an old hand! But why did he send these kids to do business?
It seems that these children's families are not well off. Is there something fishy about this ginseng? But looking at the leader, he doesn't look like that kind of person. Such good ginseng is hard to come by. If I send this ginseng to the owner, maybe I can get promoted.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel excited, but he was an old businessman after all. Except for the shock when he first saw it, he had concealed it very well and looked calm.
"This ginseng is of good quality. I wonder how much you plan to pay for it?"
Although Manager Zhang asked this, he had already set a price for the ginseng in his heart: the root of this ginseng is intact and if handled well, it can be stored for decades without any problem. According to the market price, 1 liang of ginseng is worth 8 liang. This ginseng is estimated to weigh 240 liang, so it can be worth liang. However, ginseng can save lives at critical moments, and no one would have too much. In the hands of those nobles, doubling the price is just a matter of words. I just don't know what price the girl will quote.
"I wonder how much Manager Zhang is going to offer?" This was Lin Chuyi's test of Manager Zhang. If the manager's offer was reasonable, they could continue to cooperate in the future. If the manager tried to cheat her, she would naturally not be the one to get taken advantage of.
Shopkeeper Zhang bowed his head and pondered for a moment before answering, "Our store operates with integrity and never cheats anyone. This ginseng is a century-old ginseng, and its rhizome is intact. We are willing to buy it for 180 taels. What do you think, young lady?"
Lin Chuyi was quite satisfied with the price. At least the shopkeeper Zhang did not take advantage of her young age and just offered her a few taels of silver. However, she could not let anyone look down on her, after all, they would have to visit each other often in the future.
"Isn't the price too low, Manager Zhang? Good ginseng is hard to come by. According to the market price, the ginseng I brought is worth at least 240 taels."
Shopkeeper Zhang's face changed slightly. The annual expenses of a farmer's family were no more than a few taels of silver. He thought the price he quoted would be enough to shock the girl in front of him, but he didn't expect that she was someone who knew the market. But how could a farmer's girl know these things?
Lin Chuyi has been using the "mind-reading skill" since she entered Huichuntang. She knows exactly what Manager Zhang is thinking.
"When I was a child, I had a wandering Taoist priest as my teacher. She taught me a lot of pharmacology, and ginseng was one of them. So I know a thing or two about the price of ginseng. However, this ginseng needs to be processed again. Besides, this is our first time doing business. Let's each take a step back and offer 220 taels. If you can accept it, we'll make a deal. If not, just pretend we never came. You won't lose anything anyway, right?"
Shopkeeper Zhang was secretly complaining: What do you mean there is no loss? If it fails, he will suffer a huge loss, okay? This little girl is so talkative, how can she be so talkative? Never mind, at least he made 20 taels of profit.
"Okay, 220 taels is 220 taels. Next time you have something good like this, you have to send it to me. I will take whatever you have. You know the market, and I will definitely not let you suffer a loss. After talking for so long, I still don't know your name."
