Chapter 15: Wooing
In this way, the stone iris in her back basket can be sold for almost a penny!
Gu Yunyao thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, and dug out all the stone iris by the pond, almost one or two pieces of silver, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the current four rooms.
The guy looked at Gu Yunyao for a moment, pointed to the counter at the door, and said with a smile. "The girl can ask us about this, the shopkeeper Yan should have received it, but ......" The guy made a long note and glanced at Gu Yunyao's back basket. There are a lot of stone iris in the wild, and they are not worth much. ”
It's not worth it, you still sell it for thirty wen a catty? Gu Yunyao rolled her eyes in her heart, when she asked the price in vain? Man, they are collecting this, but they are obviously deliberately lowering the price,,
Sure enough, the shopkeeper Yan over there also saw Gu Yunyao, glanced at it and turned his head away.
Gu Yunyao walked up to him and asked, "Old shopkeeper, how do you collect your stone calamus?" ”
Shopkeeper Yan pinched his gray goatee, narrowed his eyes, and spoke. "Stone calamus is not a rare medicinal material, if the girl sells medicine, it will cost ten yuan a catty."
Gu Yunyao smiled, it was too ruthless to directly press it into half price.
"Old shopkeeper, my family has done things in the pharmacy in the county, and when I was a child, I heard that our top number of Hongjitang children in Qizhou are not bullied, and the price is fair." Gu Yunyao emphasized that the price was fair, and then he didn't say any more.
The shopkeeper Yan glanced at Gu Yunyao, Gu Yunyao meant that she knew what the price should be, but she didn't say anything to death, this person came and went, and she didn't know the meaning of the words and thought she was holding Hongjitang.
"Oh? What do you think is the right price, girl? It's not that we Hongjitang deliberately lower the price, it's really that many people don't know the skills of collecting medicines, which often compromises the efficacy of the medicine, and the medicinal materials have to go through another processing before they can be sold. The shopkeeper Yan had a straight face.
Gu Yunyao directly took out a piece of stone iris from the back basket and put it on the counter, stretching out two fingers, "Don't worry, my family's medicinal materials will never make mistakes in digging, I don't want much, twenty wen a catty." Gu Yunyao's tone was very firm.
The shopkeeper Yan's eyelids jumped suddenly, the retention of the medicinal parts of this stone iris is not much, a lot of points, the person who digs the medicine is a veteran at a glance, and the price of twenty wen is too accurate, this girl's dress is just an ordinary cropper, is not a down-and-out pharmacist at home? I haven't heard of any pharmacy in the county that has closed down.
Thinking about it, Shopkeeper Yan nodded. "Okay, I accept this price, and I'll give you two more articles, but girl, if your family digs up any rare medicinal materials in the future, you have to send them to our Hongji Hall." A hint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper Yan.
How big the mountains of Qizhou, the climate is more suitable for the growth of many medicinal materials, there are a lot of cherished medicinal materials in the mountains, ordinary medicinal materials can be planted, but many rare medicinal materials can only be raised by nature, a veteran of digging medicine, will inevitably be attentive to this aspect, the Hongji Hall of this Sihe town is just a semicolon, such a semicolon is all over the towns of Qizhou, in addition to the management of these shopkeepers, there is also an important task is to collect rare medicinal materials for the general number of Fucheng.
There are many rich and noble families in the city, and the price of these rare medicinal materials can be increased several times by processing them into medicines, and the shopkeepers of these shops in the town can also get a high commission.
The situation is stronger than people, this girl's family is very poor now, although a few pennies is not much, but it is enough to make the girl in front of her no longer care about the price just now, give a few pennies more to attract a veteran of digging medicine, and the strict shopkeeper's abacus is loud.
Gu Yunyao saw all these in her eyes and said with a smile: "Yan shopkeeper is benevolent and righteous, then my family will rely on you more in the future." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The shopkeeper Yan hurriedly asked the man to take a rod scale and weigh the weight of the stone calamus for Gu Yunyao, a total of four catties, eight taels and six coins, one hundred and seven yuan, and the shopkeeper Yan took out ten big coins and a piece of broken silver, and pretended to say with an atmospheric face: "I'll add three more coins to the girl."
Gu Yunyao confiscated the money, and said to the shopkeeper Yan: "Old shopkeeper, do you have a silver needle?" I'm going to buy two millineedles more. ”
The shopkeeper Yan glanced at Gu Yunyao again, many of the medicine diggers knew how to use medical skills, which was not surprising, but the shopkeeper turned his head and said to the guy: "Go and get two millineedles for this girl, speaking of the girl, I don't know who your surname is, where are you from?" ”
This is to probe her bottom, Gu Yunyao blinked, "My name is Gu Yunyao and I live in Hekou Village." ”
Shopkeeper Yan nodded, Hekou Village is not far from here, I have never heard of a medicine merchant surnamed Gu or Langzhong in Hekou Village, probably a new move, Shopkeeper Yan believes in the judgment in his heart even more.
The guy immediately took two milli needles, carefully wrapped them and gave them to Gu Yunyao, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Yunyao a few more times, it is rare for a dealer to sell medicine at a regular price.
Gu Yunyao carefully put the milli needle under the back basket, put away the money on the counter, and thanked the shopkeeper Yan, whose eyes lit up: "Two millineedles, but twenty yuan, as long as Miss Gu remembers our Hongjitang, no thanks!." ”
Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Yan, Gu Yunyao went to the mountain goods store, bought the rabbit skin, and suddenly had a handful of copper coins in his hand, Gu Yunyao put the twenty wen that sold the rabbit skin and the fraction of his ten cents in his pocket, it was still early at this time, Gu Yunyao thought about it, or went back to the big set, stay away, and see how Gu Chuanzhao's business is going, it is also an entry.
But as soon as Gu Yunyao was about to leave, Gu Chuanzhao came back, his face was ruddy, his face was happy, and his feet were even more fluttering.
Seeing Gu Yunyao, Gu Chuanzhao accelerated his pace.
"Yao girl, have you sold out of rabbit skins? Guess how much our baskets sold for? Gu Chuanzhao still feels that he is in a dream, he has been selling for a while at the big set, seventeen baskets, seven are sold in bulk, there is a steward of a large family, bargaining with him for half a penny each, one person bought ten, this is a long time, and they are all sold out!
It's just that I made a pattern on the basket, and this time I actually sold it for more than a dozen dollars! I have to hurry up and make some wicker when I go back, and I will sell more in the past few days.
Gu Yunyao was also happy, Gu Chuanzhao sold well, then they would have one more economic guarantee after the four rooms were separated.
"Fifth uncle, this is the money to buy rabbit skins." Saying that, Gu Yunyao glanced around, signaling that there were many people, Gu Chuanzhao hurriedly covered his mouth, he was too carried away, and no longer talked about the basket, Gu Chuanzhao put the twenty yuan from selling rabbit skins in his hand, although there was still joy on his face, he couldn't help frowning.
"Let's go, let's go to Buzhuang, just now sell baskets, that week the third child has been coming to me, when I don't know what his idea is!"
