Chapter 71: Selling Big Turnips
Ji Xin lifted the bag in his hand, "You can rest assured of the quality, as for the price, you have to talk about it to know." Can you not buy it when I want to be high? ”
"The herbs are in here?" The middle-aged man pointed to the crumpled plastic bag in front of him, just like the bag sent by buying vegetables in the vegetable market, how could there be any good goods, "Sir, aren't you here to entertain me?" ”
Ji Xin also thought of the idea of trying to sell space medicinal materials before entering the door, and he didn't have time to pack them well in a hurry. It would be nice to find a bag in his pocket, this man was going to carry it over like this, but he was embarrassed.
"Hehe, in this case, I'll take it out and let you look at it first, right?" Ji Xin knew what middle-aged people thought in their hearts, these days people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, not to mention a Chinese herbal medicine that is tens of thousands or even more expensive? So no matter how grand it is, it should be, and only by mastering the space can you be so indifferent!
"Don't, you better take it......" The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand, and took a few steps back, this person is afraid that the guest will be on his forehead, if he accidentally touches a little local people, he can say that the loss is huge, and some scammers who specialize in this line of work make the door clear for these routines.
Ke Ji Xin just took out a ginseng plant and put it on the counter. The man came up with red eyes, "Wait, you're going to sell this?" ”
"Hmm" Ji Xin didn't say much, and raised his hand to signal the other party to inspect the goods. It's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, and I'm not afraid of finding a buyer for things that are in short supply anyway, but if I can sell it earlier, I can save trouble going back to the United States. Here he can still say that he brought it back from abroad, but when he arrives in Tennessee, it is difficult to talk nonsense, and he can't take anything with him on the plane.
The middle-aged man can be put in the store alone, naturally there are two brushes, and he is not polite when he sees this. Carefully pick up the ginseng body and look at it. The man looked at the cross-section and pinched it with his hand, the texture was tight and firm, a necessary condition for good ginseng. I checked it gently, about 30 grams, which matched the size, the seller did not inject water, and the clerk smiled, it was basically certain that this business was done, and the rest of the testing was still ......
Ji Xin touched his nose, this professional's method is too cumbersome, and his own method is to roughly determine it at a glance. However, when they open their doors to do business, they must encounter a lot of counterfeit products, so it is better to be serious and the price will rise only if they are sure. Ji Xin, who had a bottom in his heart, was not annoyed, but looked at the layout of the pharmacy with interest.
Looking at this, Dao Zhen saw a little way. I saw a tall wooden medicine cabinet in front of the facing wall, and there were hundreds of drawers containing herbs in the medicine cabinet, and those drawers were basically the same size, and there were also rectangular and square surfaces, but most of them were drawers with square surfaces. The name of the herb is written or engraved on the surface of each drawer, so that customers can see it at a glance when they enter the store.
Fuyuantang should be regarded as a big pharmacy, and there are medicine cabinets in front of the walls on both sides. The medicinal fragrance is mixed in it, and people who don't know it will find it strange and unpleasant, but Ji Xin, who has been immersed in this way since childhood, has a sense of familiarity. The ancient pharmacies that the second master talked about are generally decorated like this.
Not far in front of the medicine cabinet, there is a large counter that is long and wide. Filtering out the clerks who are happy, there are also "rulers" on the table to press prescriptions, "戥子" to weigh medicines, and a big abacus to calculate the cost of medicine. These are standard in pharmacies, but there are not many people who have passed them on to the present day. It's mostly a charge here.
There is a copper "mortar" for pounding medicine at each end of the counter, a bundle of "paper rope" hanging above the counter to bundle the medicine bag, and there are necessary tools such as wrapping paper under the counter, all the furnishings and equipment are complete and orderly.
After looking at it roughly, Ji Xin nodded with satisfaction. This store is decorated like this, and a lot of attention has been paid to the details. And if you can open a store in the downtown area, you must have a good strength, and you can eat a lot of your own goods. Ji Xin never thought that the other party would refuse, as long as they got the goods and sold them, they could get a lot of money back.
"What do you call him?" The middle-aged man also finished the inspection at this time, and looking at his flattering appearance, Ji Xin knew that the other party was very satisfied.
Ji Xin looked at the time and didn't plan to talk about it in detail. casually took the ginseng and stuffed it back into the bag and said, "My surname is Ji, you don't have to be polite." It's an authentic wild ginseng, right? ”
"Hehe, Mr. Ji said with a smile. Distinguishing medicinal materials is a basic skill, and I Zhang Tian is not so blind as to see. This is definitely an old mountain ginseng that is more than 20 years old, and it is worth a lot of money," Zhang Tian nodded subconsciously.
"That's good, I still have about 100 ginseng of this quality in my hand, so if you want to buy it, prepare cash, I will come over tomorrow or if you can't eat it, you can invite peers, anyway, it's not a retail sale."
After Ji Xin finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Tian's retention and pulled Ran Ran out with him. Today's time is not right, the little guy follows him, and he can't conjure up a bunch of things out of thin air. Wait until tomorrow to find a time to come alone, it will be much easier to deal with.
"Uncle, are you going to sell something" Ran Ran had been behaving very well just now, and only then did he take Ji Xin's hand and ask when he left the store.
Ji Xin was afraid that after his family found out, he would not be able to make excuses. I just thought about getting rid of the little ghost first, "Yes, Ranran, I sold the money to buy you beautiful clothes and dolls, okay?" But don't tell anyone else, or the money will be taken away. My uncle will have no money! ”
"Hmm" The little girl suddenly happily stretched out her hand to high-five, "Ran Ran knows, my mother took away my New Year's money"
……
Half an hour later, in the back hall of Fuyuan Hall, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other. The younger person was Zhang Tian, but it seemed that he was more than just an ordinary clerk, "Dad, what do you mean by that person in the afternoon?" If you show up and disappear, could it be that another store is coming to cheat us? ”
"Hmph, don't say that those outsiders don't have the courage to dare to take good things to trap us! What about them, as long as the ginseng is right, I Zhang Feng will dare to eat it, and there are fewer and fewer wild ginseng in this year! The old man was wearing a retro shirt and black cloth shoes, and he also looked domineering when teaching his son.
Zhang Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, "That's right, I'm confident that these eyes are not wrong." Nowadays, it is hard to find good ginseng, as long as you get it, there are rich and noble people who come to spend high prices. ”
"That's the reason" Zhang Feng saw that his son had opened his mind, and then he smiled a little, "So in any case, we are the one who takes the initiative, you can call your uncle and uncle now, according to what Mr. Naji said, such a large amount of our family may have to eat, it is better for everyone to bear it together"
Zhang Tian's eyes rolled, "It's a pity, there is no risk in the transaction if it is done, and it will be distributed to others for nothing." Why don't we find a bank......"
"Nonsense" The old man's palm slapped on the table, making the young man tremble, "When will your short-sighted character change, and I will rest assured that I will hand over the family business to you."
