Chapter 9: After selling wild ginseng, I finally got rich
Thinking about the good times after my husband became smarter, I feel very comfortable. After another ten minutes or so, a young man of about 22 years old walked into my sight.
Presumably this is the young master of this chain pharmacy, I didn't open my mouth at this time, and the young master didn't speak, and whoever spoke first at this time was the power side.
In this way, another 15 minutes passed in silence, and as I expected, the young master spoke first.
"Hello, my name is Cheng Li, I am the young master of this small pharmacy, I don't know what to call Miss?" Cheng Li looked at the two people in front of him, the man looked honest and the woman looked shrewd, it seems that this woman is the housekeeper, which is interesting.
"Hello, Young Master Cheng, the little woman's name is Tian Tian, I don't know how your pharmacy decided to buy this wild ginseng?" I suddenly remembered that I didn't know how money was calculated in this era, and my face changed.
"Miss Tian, our pharmacy has decided to buy your ginseng at a price of 100 taels of silver per stick, I don't know if you can be satisfied with this price." Cheng Li thought about seeing the two of them dressed so shabby, it must have been the wild ginseng that the countrymen accidentally dug up, and quoted this price to estimate that the two of them were going crazy.
Who knew that the two people opposite had no expression on their faces at all, it was a miscalculation, how did he know that Tian Tian didn't know the concept of silver money at all.
I was thinking about how much 100 taels of silver was, and it seemed that I was going to ask my husband in private. Thinking about it, I pulled Wang Da into the corner and lowered his head and asked.
"Xianggong, how is this silver money calculated, how much is 100 taels of silver, I forgot how to calculate it, you quickly tell me."
Cheng Li watched Tian Tian can't wait to pull his father-in-law to hide in the corner to talk, guessing that they must have been frightened by this amount, haha.
Wang Da glanced at his wife speechlessly, and he could forget the calculation method of the money, he was really confused, hehe. But being asked questions by the lady is so fulfilling.
"Tiantian, silver money is calculated like this, a hundred pennies is a copper plate, a hundred copper plates are one tael of silver, and a hundred taels of silver are one tael of gold." Wang said proudly.
I silently calculated in my heart, 100 taels of silver is equivalent to 100,000 yuan in modern times, and the price of this wild ginseng is okay, but the age of my wild ginseng is different, and the price should be different.
Thinking about it, I pulled my husband Wang and walked to sit down opposite Cheng Li, "Young Master Cheng, I discussed this price with my father-in-law, and the price is indeed very popular with us, but the ginseng age of our wild ginseng is different, and the medicinal effect is not the same, we plan to sell the 30-year-old wild ginseng to you for 100 taels of silver, as for the 50-year-old wild ginseng, you can quote us a price, otherwise we will only sell you 30-year-old, and we will find other pharmacies to sell the 50-year-old ginseng." ”
Cheng Li was surprised after hearing this, it seems that this woman is really not to be underestimated, and she wants to let go of her contempt.
"Miss Tian, in this case, it is better to buy 50-year-old wild ginseng in our pharmacy for 200 taels of silver, what do you think, this price must be the most suitable in this pharmacy."
"Okay, look at Cheng Dongjia, you are also a cheerful person, we will make a deal with you in this business, I have a total of 20 30-year-old wild ginseng and 10 50-year-old wild ginseng here, and now they are all sold to you in this pharmacy." I said with a smile.
Although Cheng Li looked at the bamboo basket just now that there were dozens of wild ginseng, he didn't expect that there were actually thirty, and carefully checked the age and appearance of each ginseng.
"Miss Tian, you wait a while, I'll take down the silver ticket."
"Okay, Young Master Cheng, go ahead." After I finished speaking, Cheng Li walked out of the courtyard gate.
After sitting for another 15 minutes, I watched Cheng Li come over with a smile on his face, I really didn't expect to withdraw the money so quickly.
"Miss Tian, here are 40 silver tickets for 20 100 taels of silver wild ginseng and 10 pieces of 200 taels of silver wild ginseng, one hundred taels of silver, a total of 4,000 taels of silver, can you click it?"
I took the silver ticket and handed it to my husband Wang Da and asked him to click it, but it was not good that Wang Da nodded, and I smiled.
"Young Master Cheng, the silver tickets are all right, please find someone to collect this basket of wild ginseng, we still use this bamboo basket." I thought I'd buy something to put in the basket later.
Cheng Li choked when he heard Tian Tian's words, and took 4,000 taels of silver, and actually asked for the broken bamboo basket...... "Okay, I'll let people clean it up." As he spoke, he shouted, just now, Cheng Dongjia put away the wild ginseng one by one.
After putting it away, I asked them for water to wash and dry the bamboo basket and carry it on their backs. "Young Master Cheng, since the business has been done, my husband and wife still have to buy some things, so I will leave first."
Cheng Li thought that this woman was too realistic, she was about to leave with the money, looking at such a shrewd woman, she didn't be polite to me.
"Okay, Miss Tian, you go slowly, Cheng He will send Miss Tian and her husband and wife."
Cheng He responded: "The little one understands." "After that, I and my husband Wang sent me to the door.
"Cheng Dongjia stays, we will have a period later." I said with a smile.
"There will be Miss Suda later." Cheng He looked at the woman in front of him and went back to the back hall.
"Young master, those two have already left, I don't know what you have to say." Cheng He looked at the person in front of him respectfully.
Cheng Li glanced at Cheng He and said, "Steward Cheng, I didn't expect you to find such a big customer in this small bazaar and collect so many wild ginseng, wait for me to return to Yuncheng and talk to my father well, let him reward you, haha, you go and send someone to follow the couple, see what they are doing today, where their home is, and come back and report to me." ”
Cheng He almost fainted with joy after listening to the young master's words, and estimated that he wanted to return to his master to do things, but he didn't forget what the young master explained.
"The little one understands, the young master, I will send someone to follow." Cheng He happily left the young master's sight and called a clever little guy to follow Tian Tian and his wife.
My husband and I didn't know that we were being followed, but we were still happily shopping.
"Xianggong, let's exchange a 100 taels of silver tickets for loose silver taels, otherwise it will be difficult to buy things later." I thought about so many silver tickets, and I didn't have change to spend, and the vendors who could buy things might not be able to find them.
"Well, Tiantian, you're right, let's go change it." Saying that, Wang Da took Tian Tian and walked to a place that specialized in exchanging silver taels to change the change.
After changing the change, it was noon, and the two of us found a small restaurant to prepare for lunch.
Xiao Er walked over: "What are the two guest officers going to eat?" ”
I thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Er, what special dish do you have, four dishes and one soup." ”
"Okay, then I'll serve you a few special dishes to your satisfaction, and the two guest officers will wait for a while. Xiao Er happily ran to the back kitchen.
