【192】Ginseng Valuation (2nd Update)
Because there is still an outsider who I don't know, but has already guessed the identity, Qin Shuang didn't continue to mess with Ah Chen.
Shen Jun was worried that he would be stared at again if he said the wrong thing, so he didn't ask too much, and helped them introduce the people who were traveling with him, with a smile like a spring breeze, handsome facial features, and elegant temperament, looking at the eldest young master of the Zhuang family who did look like a gentleman, Zhuang Qingyun, although he did look like a handsome boy in temperament, Qin Shuang could see with his intuition that this person should be a very smart businessman.
Zhuang Qingyun is currently taking care of most of the family's family business, and he is also responsible for the banker's fleet running ships.
Because the dealer is going to become in-laws with the Shen family without accident, the Shen family and Qin Shuang are also close, and the relationship with Shen Jun is even closer, and Shen Jun did not avoid it when he introduced them, and directly said that he was the boss of Ruyi Yaotang.
Qin Shuang and the two of them intended to make friends with the banker, Zhuang Qingyun also attached great importance to the two people who could take down all the original Shengcheng Su family industries, and both sides said hello very friendly, and then Shen Jun and Zhuang Qingyun, two experienced people, led them into the Duobao Pavilion, and by the way, they introduced some of the situations in the Duobao Pavilion.
Duobao Pavilion has a total of four floors, the first floor is the place where the public gambling stones, there have been many different stalls in it, placed in various sizes, different appearances of stones, respectively according to different prices.
The second floor is to sell other treasures other than jade, antique calligraphy and painting, gold and silver things, there are many new things that the caravan of the boat gets from overseas, among which there are also items provided by the dealer fleet, the third floor sells a small number of extremely precious things that ordinary people can't afford, and there is an auction hall, where the gambling stone auction is carried out, and occasionally some other treasures will be auctioned here.
The fourth floor is the boundary of the owner of Duobao Pavilion, and ordinary people can't go up lightly, and it is said that no one has been invited to the fourth floor.
Shen Jun is mainly responsible for introducing Duobao Pavilion, Zhuang Qingyun said a lot of things about the Gambling Stone Club, Shen Jun only participated in the Gambling Stone Meeting last month, but Zhuang Qingyun started from the Gambling Stone Meeting of Duobao Pavilion for a month, and naturally he has seen more things and understands them in more detail.
Originally, Qin Shuang and the others listened carefully, but when they heard that there were other treasures on the third floor today in addition to the gambling stone auction, and the auction method of these treasures was still very special, their eyes suddenly changed significantly.
"You say the baby auction can be bartered?"
Qin Shuang's question was a little eager, and he unconsciously brought two points of sharpness on the ground, and even the question had a bit of command, which made Zhuang Qingyun raise his eyebrows in surprise, why did Qin Shuang look different from when they first met?
Fortunately, surprise is surprise, Zhuang Qingyun has also seen the world, and nodded calmly to explain: "Most of the treasures of Duobao Pavilion are either rare or very precious, and they may not be able to buy them if they have money, and some of them are simply priceless, and some are difficult to price, and many of these treasures are auctioned by others to Duobao Pavilion, Duobao Pavilion only charges a part of the commission, and few of those who sell treasures are short of money to spend, most of them are not happy with the treasure itself, and want to exchange for other treasures they want, of course, Occasionally, someone inadvertently gets a treasure but can't eat or drink it, so they auction it off and exchange it for silver flowers. "Therefore, the auction of Duobao Pavilion can be carried out in two forms: cash auction and barter, taking into account the needs of people with different needs.
"Consignment?" Qin Shuang's eyes lit up, and he exchanged a look with Ah Chen, the little awkwardness before had long been forgotten, and he thought of a point very tacitly: There is a place to sell ginseng!
"Can the treasures in the auction still be consigned? Will it be too late? ”
Shen Jun and Zhuang Qingyun were a little surprised, didn't they come here because they were interested in gambling stones? Why did you hear that there was a treasure auction and wanted to sell the treasure again?
Not to mention them, even Hehuan and the others were surprised how the master suddenly thought of selling the treasure, and besides, did their master have any rare treasures in his hands? Well, this one seems to be true, and there are quite a few of them. For example, ice makers, as well as distribution devices, not to mention pistols, any one of them can scare a person to death.
But these things are not very easy to take, as soon as they are taken out, it will inevitably cause an uproar, if the master really wants to take it out, he would have taken it out a long time ago, why wait for this treasure to be auctioned? Selling it privately can cause trouble if it leaks the news, not to mention the public auction for so many people to see with their own eyes.
Shen Jun didn't think as much as the people in Ruyizhuang, so he just asked, "What, do you have any treasures you want to sell?" ”
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen nodded in unison.
Zhuang Qingyun said: "It's not too late to consign now, the gambling stone auction is in the morning, and the baby auction is in the afternoon, as long as you find someone from Duobao Pavilion before noon to identify the treasure and determine the value of the auction, you can consign it, and Duobao Pavilion will charge 10% of the commission." ”
Ten percent, this percentage is really a lot, but considering how much grain and high-quality rice might be summoned for them by selling ginseng, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen felt that it was negligible.
Shen Jun looked curious and said, "What kind of treasure are you going to sell?" Do you want to go back to the lodge to pick it up now? ”
Qin Shuang's face did not change, and he bought a pass and said: "What treasure, you will naturally know it when the auction starts, you don't need to go back to get it, it just so happens that you have it with you today, where is the place to identify the treasure?" Let's go and sell the things on consignment first, and then go to the gambling stones. ”
The place to identify the treasure is on the second floor, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen will be reunited to Hehuan and Baizhu to hold, let the salvia and they also buy a few stones to play with on the first floor, and only two people go upstairs.
When they went upstairs, Ah Chen and Qin Shuang bit their ears quietly: "Shuangshuang, how many ginseng are you going to buy?" How much grain is exchanged for one piece? ”
Qin Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's sell two first, ginseng is very valuable for hundreds of years, and many people must be interested, but it may not be so."

Interested, but there may not be so many people who have grain seeds in their hands, after selling two sticks today, someone will definitely inquire about the source of ginseng, and then know that what we need is grain seeds, so that people can prepare in a targeted manner. ”
She needs a lot of high-quality rice in exchange for points, and the high-grade rice can only be eaten by the royal family, it is a special tribute, unless the emperor rewards it, it can't be bought with money, and it is also illegal to steal it by sneaking it in, and it is terrible to be discovered, so at the moment she can still expect to save a lot of food for points is only high-quality rice.
Because of the high quality and rich nutrition of high-grade rice, the system also buys it, she asked before Xiao Qi hibernate earlier, the price of high-grade rice can be maintained to almost 100,000 catties, and then it will decrease per 100,000 catties, fifty points, twenty points, ten points, five points, even if it drops to five points, it is worth a lot of points, so she is not too much for high-quality rice and grains, but only too little.
As for how much grain is exchanged for a specific ginseng......
Generally speaking, a pound of high-quality rice, when they bought it before, it was one tael of silver a catty, but this is the official price, if you get the grain through some special way, the price will increase tenfold, not only the ready-made high-quality rice, but also two 500-year-old ginseng, how can it be worth thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels.
If you change it to grain or rice......
"Let's see what the price of the appraisal is, the lowest one, you have to change it for 500 catties of grain." If you can have so many grains, when you grow all the grains to the system, you can easily get 5 million points!
"If you have high-quality rice, you have to base it at least 5,000 catties, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Ah Chen did the math and felt that the price was about the same, and this was only a low price, there would definitely be people bidding at the auction, and it might be able to rise again when the time came.
When he arrived on the second floor to find the place for identification, Qin Shuang took out two five-hundred-year-old ginseng and put them in front of the appraiser, and the appraiser was directly dumbfounded, Huo Ran got up, and his face flushed with excitement.
Hundreds of years of ginseng can only be bought in some big medicine halls, and it is not 100% available, even if there is, one or two hundred years is the most common, the thousand-year-old ginseng is rare, and only a very small number of big families have the bottom of the box, it is estimated that there are also in the palace, but it is difficult for the people to see, in this case, Qin Shuang took out the five hundred years of ginseng, or took out two in one go, the appearance is very good, the roots are complete, and there is a little soil, it looks very fresh, and at a glance you know that it is a good thing that the medicinal properties have not been destroyed, not to mention more eye-catching.
Although this appraiser doesn't understand pharmacology, his eyesight is there, and someone in Duobaoge will occasionally send some valuable good medicinal materials to auction, so there are also special appraisers who identify medicinal materials, and call people over to take a look, ho! I was so excited to snatch the ginseng directly!
Some rare, rare treasures may be very troublesome to estimate, but ginseng is much easier to do, regardless of whether there is a market or not, the price is there, under the premise that the medicinal properties are not damaged at all, the price of a hundred years of ginseng is 1,000 taels, and then it rises by 1,000 taels every 100 years, and the two sticks taken out by Qin Shuang are very good, and the low price of each is 6,000 taels.
Such a rare treasure is not common in Duobao Pavilion, no, it should be said that it is the first time that Duobao Pavilion was opened, the first two months there are also people with ginseng to sell, will be a hundred years of ginseng, because the ginseng digging is very accidental to dig ginseng, and do not know how to dig so as not to hurt ginseng, very good ginseng has lost a lot of medicinal properties, barely able to go to auction, the low price is only seven hundred taels, the other party is one of the few owners who lack money, the choice is not to barter the way of trading, but directly with silver two auctions, the final transaction price is three thousand five hundred taels, Duobao Pavilion received a commission of three hundred and fifty taels, and even so, more than three thousand taels of silver, that person never had to worry about food and clothing from now on.
Then a ginseng can be multiplied several times, not to mention Qin Shuang's two better ones, and Duobao Pavilion is estimated to be able to get thousands of taels just by taking a commission, which is a big deal!
The appraiser's attitude towards Qin Shuang and Ah Chen was also very polite, and he asked them with a smile: "I don't know if the two of you will use barter auction, or directly auction in cash?" ”
Qin Shuang said without hesitation: "Barter." "The auction can certainly double the price of ginseng, but what she lacks now is not money, but high-quality rice and grain! Who is rare for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and she is not without it.
"So, what are the specific requirements?"
Usually in the form of barter, if there is no specific requirement, it is to let the people who are interested in the treasure in their hands show the treasures they already have, and then the consignment person chooses the one that he can see in the exchange, generally this form is also the most common, if there are specific requirements, such as a certain person's real handwriting, or a fixed vase and flower pot in such and such a year, etc., who can be sure that the person who happened to come to the auction has these things in his hand? If there is no suitable baby to change, the thing can only be auctioned until the next month.
The consignor can also say a few more treasures he wants, but more than half of the chance is still in vain, on the contrary, the other way can often get the other consignors themselves did not expect good things, even if the final get is not the original collection they wanted, the buyer and seller can get a satisfactory result for both parties.
Qin Shuang doesn't know much about these things, and she doesn't care, she just needs to make her requirements clear, she can get the best, if she can't get it, the news will be released, and she is not afraid that no one will come to the door to change with them in the future.
"Two branches of people participate, the low price is 500 catties of high-quality rice or 5,000 catties of high-quality rice, you can auction the two ginseng separately, or you can sell them together, I don't care, anyway, the low price remains the same."
The appraiser's originally smiling expression instantly froze.
"......" Is there something wrong with his ears? 500 catties of fine rice? No, no, it should be 500 catties of high-quality rice! But what's the matter with five thousand catties? It can't be 5,000 catties of grain! That's even more outrageous!
The appraiser's face was indescribably stiff, and his eyes were full of strange shock when he looked at Qin Shuang
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
Blame the shock, this requirement is not difficult to say, and it is really not easy to say simple.
Picking up the rare Cheng dù, there are official grain shops in Liancheng that sell high-quality rice, as long as the conditions are met, you can buy some in limited quantities, unlike other treasures, some may only have one or two pieces in the whole world, and it is difficult to get them, but in terms of numbers, these that Qin Shuang asked for are not easy to get.
First of all, if the ready-made rice is 500 catties, it is not too difficult to get it, although the official only sells high-quality rice to some officials, but the high-quality rice is not impossible to buy through a special way, it is the right way, the second-grade master can get 500 catties of high-quality rice every year, and exchange it for more valuable ginseng.
But 5,000 pounds! Take the right way to buy, the second grade of the master to ten years to get 5,000 catties of high-quality rice, is to rely on a special way to buy, not to buy as much as you want to get, can get a thousand catties in one breath is considered capable, and the price is ten times more expensive than the right way, moreover, eating high-quality rice is very luxurious, I really want to eat, spend more money to buy a hundred and eighty catties of enjoyable good, who has nothing to save a thousand catties? Eat at once, no matter how rich people are, they are reluctant to eat, eat slowly, new rice should become old rice, it is better to buy less every time, buy again after eating, buy too much in one go, it is completely unnecessary.
That is to say, those who can buy grain seeds can grow some of them themselves, keep some of them, maybe they can leave some of them or use them at auctions, and others want to get thousands of catties of high-quality rice in one go, hanging.
Not to mention the grain, the official with the highest official quota can only buy twenty catties of grain, and Qin Shuang opened his mouth to say that the minimum limit is five hundred catties of grain! The appraiser wants to cry, okay?
Sure enough, good ginseng is not easy to get!
In fact, the price given by Qin Shuang is really not too high, a ginseng averages 2,500 catties of rice, which is 250,000 points when converted into points, and a 500-year-old ginseng is worth 200,000 yuan in the system, which is not much, but there are quite a lot of grains, and after she uses tertiary fertilizer, she can harvest more grain.
High-grade rice is not as good as inferior rice and medium-sized rice, the latter two can harvest at least 500 catties, and the good point is 600 catties, but the best rice is the old farmer can only harvest 400 catties at most, and only more than 300 points if it is almost. Qin Shuang didn't want to recall the fact that the modern high-yield rice was more than 1,000 catties per mu of land, the contrast was too obvious, and he felt congested when he thought about it.
But these grains are planted in Qin Shuang's hands, and they can produce six or seven hundred catties after a bumper yield, which is still inferior to inferior rice and medium rice, but compared to other people who grow high-grade rice, there are more than three streets.
