Chapter 40: Silver
After a brief greeting, Master Shen did not let Xu Xiangwan wait longer, and offered to see the wolfberries brought by Xu Xiangwan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he was only facing a young girl, Master Shen was not perfunctory, nor did he have any contempt in his eyes, just like treating a normal adult.
Shopkeeper Shen helped Xu Xiangwan open the sack in the small back basket, and suddenly revealed half a bag of red dried wolfberries, the color was as bright as fresh wolfberries.
Master Shen's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, but he didn't speak, but bent down and took out a small handful from the bag and put it in his hand to examine it carefully, leaned close to his nose and sniffed, and then pinched the smallest one and put it in his mouth to chew.
Third Young Master Shen was not as calm as Master Shen, and asked a little eagerly: "Dad, how about this wolfberry? Looking at the color so bright, there won't be any problems, right?"
Hearing the words of Third Young Master Shen, Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at him, and said in his belly: "You have a problem, you have a problem with your brain." ”
As if sensing Xu Xiangwan's gaze, Third Young Master Shen instantly turned his head to look at Xu Xiangwan, just in time to bump into her gaze that she didn't have time to turn away.
was caught by someone, Xu Xiangwan did not show any weakness, but looked directly at the third young master Shen like this frankly, as if the person who had just rolled his eyes at him was not her.
Seeing that Xu Xiangwan did not have the slightest consciousness of being caught, but looked at him blatantly, the third young master Shen was stunned.
"This little girl has big beautiful eyes. Third Young Master Shen couldn't help but have this thought pop up in his mind.
"Qian'er, take a look. Master Shen recalled Third Young Master Shen, who was in the fugue, and handed him the small handful of wolfberries in his hand.
Third Young Master Shen took it and looked at it carefully.
"It's really a good goji berry. Third Young Master Shen said.
Master Shen said, "What's a good method?"
This is going to be the third young master of the school.
I saw that the third young master Shen had a solemn expression, swept away the previous casualness, and said seriously: "Although the particles of Guanzhi are not big, they are full and fleshy, although the color is bright, it is not dazzling, and the luster is soft. There is no peculiar smell, but a natural fragrance. The taste is sweet, and then the throat is bitter. It is dry to the touch and not sticky. ”
For Third Young Master Shen's answer, Master Shen was obviously very satisfied, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Little girl, how many wolfberries do you have? After checking the wolfberries, Master Shen finally looked at Xu Xiangwan, who was standing leisurely aside.
The corners of Xu Xiangwan's mouth curled, and he smiled slightly: "There are not many wolfberries, I brought them all today." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the two back baskets that were placed on the ground.
"I don't know how the price is calculated?" Xu Xiangwan smiled and his eyebrows curled.
The little girl who looked a little fierce just now, this smile became vivid, so cute that people couldn't help but want to pinch her twice.
Third Young Master Shen smiled inexplicably.
"Your goji berries are drying well, but unfortunately there are too few. "Master Shen has some regrets.
Although the taste and medicinal effect of the high-quality wolfberries on the market are similar, the appearance is a little worse, and such a color is probably fifty-five wen a catty.
Xu Xiangwan's face remained silent and continued to remain silent, waiting for Master Shen's next words.
Looking at Xu Xiangwan's performance of not being arrogant or impatient, Master Shen appreciated it very much, this little girl was calm.
"Little girl, your wolfberry is of good quality, how about giving you thirty-five wen a catty?" Master Shen did not despise her in the slightest because it was a little girl standing opposite, but discussed with her very solemnly.
Thirty-five wen a catty, this price Xu Xiangwan did not expect. She thought that it would be good to sell a pound of wolfberries for 20 yuan, but she didn't expect that the price would almost double that of her expectations.
"Okay, deal. Xu Xiangwan didn't take Qiao either, and responded happily, smiling with crooked eyebrows, very happy.
There was no need for anyone to greet him, so the shopkeeper Shen directly asked people to take a big scale and weigh it in front of Xu Xiangwan, excluding the weight of the back basket and sack, the net weight was fifty-six catties.
"It's a total of 1,960 Wen, does the little girl want silver or copper plates?" asked Shopkeeper Shen with a smile.
One thousand wen is one tael of silver, and one thousand nine hundred and sixty wen is more than one tael of silver, I didn't expect it to be sold for so much money at once, Xu Xiangwan's heart was bubbling with excitement.
"Give sixty copper plates, and the rest in silver." Xu Xiangwan stared at the two sacks with shining eyes, as if he saw the silver with white flowers.
"Money junkies. Third Young Master Shen pursed his lips and muttered softly.
Xu Xiangwan's ears were sharp, and she heard the whispered muttering of Third Young Master Shen, but she was in a good mood now, and she was too lazy to bother with him, so she didn't even glance at him out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that Xu Xiangwan completely ignored him, Third Young Master Shen glared at Xu Xiangwan fiercely, snorted, turned around and ran to the counter.
The shopkeeper Shen first took one or two ingots of silver in the ingot, and then weighed Xu Xiangwan nine coins of broken silver with a small scale, then counted sixty copper plates with wire strings, and then wrapped the silver in small lotus, and then handed it to Xu Xiangwan.
Taking over the purse from the shopkeeper Shen, Xu Xiangwan's heart was simply happy, the smile on his face did not disperse, and his big eyes were shining.
Sure enough, there is still a way to make money in collecting medicines, and it has only been ten or so days, and I have earned nearly two taels of silver at once! The cost of picking wolfberries is only five cents to buy alkali, that is to say, these wolfberries have made a net profit of 1,955 cents!
What a huge fortune this is! Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This is the first time Xu Xiangwan has seen silver. After taking the purse, Xu Xiangwan first poured the silver ingots and broken silver into the palm of his hand, and then picked up the small silver ingot in the middle and looked at it, only to see that the words "Baotong Silver in the Ruihe Period" were engraved under the silver ingot, the color was snow-white and shiny, and he bit it with his teeth, and the color inside was still snow-white, so he carefully put it away.
"It turns out that the silver really doesn't bite it. Xu Xiangwan laughed stupidly.
After speaking, Xu Xiangwan took the sixty copper plates that were strung together, counted them generously, and after confirming that they were correct, he carefully put the silver money into his arms.
Before coming, Xu Xiangwan deliberately wore a loose shirt, just to hold silver coins, so although sixty copper plates were a lot, they were not conspicuous in his arms.
"Thank you, Master Shen, thank you Shopkeeper Shen. Xu Xiangwan smiled and thanked the two seriously, looking far from the appearance of a wealth fan just now.
"There is no need to say thank you in business. I don't accept these wolfberries, and other pharmacies will rush to collect them. Master Shen was not surprised by Xu Xiangwan's love for money, after all, seeing that this child was wearing a patched dress, the conditions at home were definitely not very good, but he was a little surprised that she could quickly restrain her mind.
Not pretentious, not pretentious, but able to control his mind well, this child's heart is much stronger than ordinary children, Master Shen's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.
