Chapter 22 Selling Ginseng

There weren't many people in Tongjitang at this time to see a doctor and pick up medicine.

The medicine boy was adding herbs to the medicine cabinet, and the doctor had not yet arrived.

When Thyme walked to the counter, the medicine boy inside discovered the existence of Thyme.

The medicine boy hurriedly put down the herbs in his hand and turned around and asked, "Is Madame picking up medicine?" ”

Thyme shook her head, then said with a smile: "I want to find you Ouyang shopkeeper, is Ouyang shopkeeper here?" "If you want to sell medicine, you have to find someone who can call the shots, yesterday Ouyang Qingchen's words were very clear, this medicine hall was his, and naturally he could only call the shots.

When the medicine boy heard that the thyme was going to ask Ouyang Qingchen, he couldn't help but look at the thyme twice, and that look had a lot of scrutiny. You must know that there are many women who come to the medicine hall to find Ouyang Qingchen.

"Why isn't the shopkeeper Ouyang here?" Thyme asked, pretending not to understand the medicine boy's eyes.

The medicine boy waved his hand again and again: "Our shopkeeper is here, you wait for me, I'll go in and ask the shopkeeper to come out." After speaking, the medicine boy walked directly into the back hall.

It took about a cup of tea for the medicine boy to come out, his face was still a little abnormal, and Ouyang Qingchen did not come out.

"Madame, I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait for a while, I was scolded by the shopkeeper when I went in just now, and I whispered to you, our shopkeeper is very good, but he can't disturb his sleep, or else he will ......." Before the medicine boy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold drink.

"Little boy, you are going behind my back and saying bad things about me to others, aren't you?"

As soon as these words came out, the little boy's face instantly became ugly, and when he turned around, he smiled at Ouyang Qingchen, who was not angry, and said, "Shopkeeper, I didn't say anything bad about you, this is a fact." ”

Ouyang Qingchen had already seen thyme at this time, and he didn't continue to say to Xiao Tong: "You are busy with yours." ”

As soon as the child heard this, he directly began to continue to add medicine to the medicine cabinet, and from time to time he turned around to peek at Ouyang Qingchen and thyme.

And here, Ouyang Qingchen had already walked in front of Thyme, and Ouyang Qingchen asked softly, "I don't know what Madame is looking for today?" ”

Thyme looked left and right, and felt that this lobby was not a place to speak, so she said to Ouyang Qingchen: "I don't know if I can borrow a step to speak." ”

Ouyang Qingchen saw Thyme with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, in Ouyang Qingchen's opinion, Thyme was special, from Thyme's gestures, it could be seen that Thyme's background should be good, not an ordinary peasant woman in a mountain village, and Thyme didn't look at him like other women. Thinking that there was really something to find him, Ouyang Qingchen asked Thyme to follow him to the back hall.

"If Madame doesn't mind, please go to the back hall to talk." After Ouyang Qingchen finished speaking, he saw Thyme nodding.

Thyme followed Ouyang Qingchen into the back hall, and the little boy's eyes became even more **.

The back hall of Tongjitang is very large, and as soon as you enter the back door, there is a corridor, and in that courtyard, rows of medicine shelves are full of herbs.

On this side of the cloister, there are rooms with the smell of medicine in the air.

Thyme followed Ouyang Qingchen to a room near the middle, and when she entered the house, she looked at the furnishings in the room, which should be used to receive guests.

After Ouyang Qingchen beckoned Thyme to sit down, he lifted boiling water on the small stove next to him and made a cup of tea for Thyme.

Then sat down, Ouyang Qingchen looked at Thyme with some confusion, after all, Thyme only passed yesterday, and he came again so early today, and it was so mysterious, he thought that he had something to look for him.

"I wonder why Madame came here today?" Ouyang Qingchen asked with a puzzled expression.

Thyme didn't twist and pinch at the moment, and directly put the cloth bag on the small table next to it, and put aside the tea that Ouyang Qingchen had brewed just now.

Taking out the wooden box inside the cloth bag, Thyme handed it directly to Ouyang Qingchen.

Ouyang Qingchen on the side had already expected that Thyme was here today to sell medicine. I just don't know what's in that box.

Suspiciously taking the box, Ouyang Qingchen opened it without hesitation.

The box containing the medicine is very ordinary, it used to be used by the original owner thyme to hold some jewelry, and it is also suitable to put this ginseng today.

Judging from the box alone, there is no clue at all.

When Ouyang Qingchen opened the box, he was stunned when he saw the contents of the box.

"Ma'am, this is ......!" Ouyang Qingchen's tone was a little excited, it was not that he had never seen a hundred years of ginseng, but it was so fresh to see. And it is definitely more than 100 years old ginseng for the first time.

Thyme saw the surprise in Ouyang Qingchen's eyes, and she also knew this ginseng in her heart, and it must be worth a lot of silver.

Thyme smiled and said, "I think you have also seen it, this is a fresh ginseng." ”

Ouyang Qingchen took out the whole ginseng, put it down on the low table, and carefully looked at the roots on the ginseng, you must know that this ginseng is broken by a root, which will have a great impact on the efficacy of the medicine.

The ginseng in front of me is in good condition, and not a single whisker has been broken.

Ouyang Qingchen restrained his excitement, looked at Thyme and asked, "Madame brought this ginseng to me, do you want to sell it?" ”

Thyme nodded and said seriously: "It's going to be sold, Ouyang Shopkeeper can see how much silver this ginseng is worth." ”

Seeing Thyme say this, Ouyang Qingchen couldn't help but dissuade him: "Madame, you can think clearly, this ginseng knows more than a hundred years at a glance, this is rare, even if you buy it, you can rarely buy it, Madam, have you thought clearly?" ”

Thyme understands what Ouyang Qingchen means, the value of this ginseng is very high, Ouyang Qingchen wants Thyme to keep it for himself, after all, ginseng can hang himself at a critical moment.

But all wealthy families, as long as they have a lot of money, will buy one or two hundred-year-old ginseng and keep it in the house in case of emergency.

Thyme declined Ouyang Qingchen's kindness, and said with a wry smile: "I naturally know that this ginseng is very precious, but no matter how precious it is, it is worthless, I want to live with my children, and I have to sell it as a last resort today, I believe that Ouyang shopkeeper, Ouyang shopkeeper will make a price!" ”

Hearing that thyme was going to sell ginseng to himself, Ouyang Qingchen's heart was even more excited, he just needed a ginseng, this ginseng was of a good vintage, and the thyme was going to be sold, so he was naturally willing to buy it.

Ouyang Qingchen weighed the price of this ginseng in his heart and said, "I don't know what the price is in Madame's heart?" ”

Thyme just didn't know the price of this ginseng in this era, so he didn't say it at the beginning, and now Ouyang Qingchen asked like this, Thyme didn't hide it at the moment and said: "To be honest, Ouyang shopkeeper I really don't know the price of this ginseng, Ouyang shopkeeper will open a more fair price!" ”

Anyway, Thyme has also thought about it, if the price given by Ouyang Qingchen is not good, she will find an excuse not to sell it.

Ouyang Qingchen frowned, and then said: "Since Madame believes in me, I don't hide it from Madame, the price of this hundred-year-old ginseng is generally around three hundred taels of silver, and Madame's ginseng is fresh and in good condition." And the vintage is obviously more than 100 years, and I don't hide it from my wife, if I buy this ginseng, I will pay a maximum of 400 taels of silver. ”
