Chapter 38: This is a good encounter
The shopkeeper picked up the detailed list, carefully dried the ink that had not dried on it, and said to Xue Langjing, "Girl, your medicinal materials are more than one hundred and fifty-three catties in total, and the quality is mostly of the highest quality, and the total price is forty-four two hundred and sixty-five hundred and fifty-eight yuan, which is counted as forty-five taels for you, what does the girl think?" ”
A perennial businessman, with sharp eyes, the shopkeeper has long seen that this little girl is the master of the three, so he told her directly.
There were forty-five taels!
As soon as they heard the shopkeeper report the value of this batch of herbs, the Xue Yuhe brothers next to them were ecstatic, this was more than half of what Xue Langjing estimated for them, and they were originally worried about whether she was overestimating, isn't this just one hundred and fifty catties of sun-dried grass, and how much more can it be worth so much money?
Now that the facts tell them that it is really worth money, even more than she said, how can they not be happy.
This price was also much beyond Xue Langjing's expectations.
Needless to say, the three members of the Xue family naturally agreed to this price.
Forty-five taels of silver, which is already quite heavy, it is not good to give cash silver directly, and the shopkeeper directly gave two silver tickets of twenty taels and one five taels.
Usually all she holds in her hands are silver and copper plates, and the first time she got the silver ticket, Xue Langjing couldn't help but observe it carefully with curiosity, which provoked the shopkeeper on the side to smile with her, "Girl, don't worry, this is a brand-new silver ticket that was just received from the money bank yesterday." ”
"Hehe, it's the first time we've touched the silver ticket, and we can't help but touch a few more."
Xue Langjing smiled, put away the silver ticket, and said to the shopkeeper with a little teasing, "Shopkeeper, your price is some..."
Speaking of this, he also paused deliberately.
The shopkeeper thought that she was not satisfied with the price, so he said, "Girl, the price we calculated for you is already very fair." ”
"The shopkeeper misunderstood, I don't think you give much, but you can see what I mean by looking at the price I wrote myself."
As he spoke, Xue Langjing took out the list he wrote last night and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The other party took the list and unfolded it to look at it.
Dealing with medicinal materials all year round, for the market price of medicinal materials, the shopkeeper is naturally the door clear, and you can judge its origin by looking at this list.
"Girl, the price you wrote is actually wrong, but it is not the price of medicine today, this is the unit price, it should be the price of decades ago, and the difference in the price has risen over the years."
Xue Langjing was a little puzzled, "Oh, why has it only been a few decades, and it has risen by half, how can our silver be so inflated, if it goes on like this, won't it be doubled in a few decades?" ”
"It's not just inflation, but, alas..."
The shopkeeper sighed, and even lowered his voice slightly, "It's really that our people's lives are not very easy, in recent decades, our Great Chu State and Fanbang State have stopped fighting wars, and the continuous military disasters have caused the demand for medicinal materials for the soldiers in front of them to surge, plus the above", he said, he pointed his finger upward, "The man-made disasters above have caused the people to be plagued continuously, and the demand for medicinal materials is large, so the price of this herb must not go up." ”
"Alas!"
Xue Langjing also sighed, the court fights, and it is their ordinary people who suffer.
"Don't talk about this, I don't know where you learned this set of Arabic numerals, girl?"
As he took the list, he noticed that it was written with numbers that were unique to their Zheng firm.
"Oh, I accidentally got a few herbal classics produced by Zheng's firm, the variety and price of this herb was learned from the above, when I saw this set of symbols, I felt that it was convenient to use, so I learned, it turned out that this set of symbols is called Arabic numerals?"
Speaking of things related to the Zheng family, Xue Langjing said it even more, and talked enthusiastically with the shopkeeper, and also wanted to get more information about the Zheng family.
"So it makes sense, no wonder I think your price looks familiar, that's right, it was invented by the ancestor of our Zheng firm, she called it Arabic numerals, girl, you are careful."
"Is the shopkeeper also from the Zheng clan?"
I didn't expect to deal with the Zheng family so quickly, and Xue Langjing was a little excited in her heart.
"It's not from the Zheng clan, but I joined the business house when I was young, and I have been working until now."
Xue Langjing, who had never seen much of the world, continued to gossip, "Doesn't it mean that everyone in the Zheng clan will enter the business house to do things, and the clansmen are all over the country, and they are not the ones who are in charge?" ”
Seeing that she was obviously interested in her own trading house, she naturally introduced it to the proud shopkeeper, "Hehe, that's what I said." Although the number of Zheng clan members is huge, but that is relative to ordinary families, the number of counties and towns in our Great Chu Kingdom is thousands, and the shops of the Zheng family are all over the country, no matter how huge a family is, it is impossible to send clansmen in every county or even town, and most of the people who manage the grassroots shops are still our people who work in the business bank. ”
Xue Langjing was a little regretful, "So, there are no Zheng clan people in our town?" ”
"That's not it, it's just a coincidence, the shopkeeper of our Zheng fruit shop is a member of the Zheng family, and he was only sent over for training last year, a young man in his twenties, and a female doll, what's the matter, the girl is interested in the Zheng family?"
"Yes, yes", Xue Langjing hurriedly nodded, "I admire Lord Zheng Wen the most, so I'm very curious about them." ”
The shopkeeper sighed with emotion, "Over the years, the people have passed down the evil of our ancestors of the trading house, saying that she has a strange style of acting and tarnishing her name everywhere, most people still regard it as a flood beast, but it is rare to see ordinary women who will regard her as a person to worship, I didn't think that the girl would have such a good vision." ”
The two talked and talked about one place, which made the shopkeeper a lot closer to Xue Langjing
"They are jealous of Master Zheng Wen, I think she is very powerful, and she will not do anything without purpose", as soon as she heard someone say that she was not, Xue Langjing couldn't help but defend her.
"Don't you think she's acting too out of line? Like that clan rule? ”
"I don't think so, but I think that it is precisely the family rules that have made the Zheng family develop so strongly, and the Zheng family business can continue for so long, so my family is like this, and my sisters will have to recruit in the future", Xue Langjing said with some pride.
"Tut, I didn't expect your little girl's family to be so arrogant, and I want to make friends with you."
Hearing this, Xue Langjing felt that she had met a bosom friend, "Could it be that the shopkeeper is also a good person?" ”
"Haha, naturally, since I entered the business industry, I grew up listening to the deeds of my ancestors, how can I not know my ancestors better than outsiders? If the girl has many sisters in the family, and our pharmacy has a health handbook, should the girl buy a copy and go back to the sisters at home to see? It's just that this handbook has a lot of popular content, and even involves some intimate things between the sexes and their own individuals, which is intended to popularize more knowledge of themselves to the public, but it is considered an obscene book by the general public, and it is disliked by people, and it is usually put on the shelf. ”
He has been to the medicine hall in Xinwen Town for more than ten years, and he has never introduced a book until now, and finally met a person who knows the goods, so he naturally recommended it hard, and today he can't break the duck egg record that has been maintained for more than ten years.
