Chapter 221: Wholesale Market for Medicinal Herbs
Leaving the guest house, Xie Yuanjiu and Yao Wenjing carried Cordyceps on their backs and went straight to the wholesale market in the north of the city.
A few decades later, Pegasus Lane is one of the country's famous wholesale markets, and it is also a gathering place for retailers from several nearby provinces, and there will be an endless stream of people coming to buy goods wholesale from three or four o'clock in the morning every day.
Yao Wenjing in her previous life also came here to wholesale clothes to set up a stall, which was the first pot of gold she earned when she came to the provincial capital, but that was a few years later, in the late 80s and early 90s.
In Pegasus Lane in 1983, she didn't come before.
However, she knows that the whole wholesale market, the first to be established is the wholesale market of medicinal materials, the reason why the wholesale market was chosen in Pegasus Lane, is because it is not far from the railway station in the north of the city, the transportation is convenient, and it is conducive to development.
However, when they arrived, they found that at this time, there was still a lot of farmland around Pegasus Lane, and there was not even a direct bus, and after getting off the bus, they walked for more than 20 minutes before they saw the sign of Pegasus Lane.
There was a depression all around, they walked around, many buildings are still under construction, it seems a little messy, but on the way you can meet some people carrying large bags of things in and out, passing by with a faint smell of Chinese medicine, such as perilla, wheat winter, astragalus and the like.
Yao Wenjing looked a little excited.
"Uncle Yuan Jiu, it should be almost there."
They walked along the crowd to an alley, and after a while, it suddenly became clear, there was a sign of the Pegasus Lane Medicinal Herb Wholesale Market, in the morning, it was the most lively time in the wholesale market, many people used bicycles to carry baskets to purchase medicinal herbs, and some even drove cars, and it was prosperous.
However, as soon as they stepped on the gate of the market, they were targeted, to be exact, they should have just arrived at the entrance of Pegasus Alley, and someone noticed them.
It is Gong Daicai's person.
After receiving the call, he arranged for people to wait there, although there is an endless stream of people here, but in this era, ordinary people rarely come to the wholesale market of medicinal materials to buy things, and those who come here are generally the owners of pharmacies or state-owned pharmaceutical companies.
Yao Wenjing and Xie Yuanjiu stepped into the market, and they were not in a hurry to sell things, in Yao Wenjing's words, they must understand the market before they can do it, after all, their cordyceps are in the county town of Jia Wende, and they also sold for 45 catties last time.
The strange thing is that after asking several stores, the boss looked at them and said that there was no Cordyceps for sale in the store.
This is strange, if there is no Cordyceps for sale, it means that Cordyceps will not be collected, how is this possible, Yao Wenjing and Xie Yuanjiu looked at each other, but Yang Qishan said that the Cordyceps in the provincial capital is of general quality, and it is also sold for 80 yuan a catty in the pharmacy, and the quality of the better ones can be higher, and even some stores have started to sell for a piece.
This is the same as Yao Wenjing remembers.
I asked several more companies, and everyone's answers were similar, and the words were the same, and even looked at them strangely.
"This thing has a high purchase price, it's not easy to get rid of, I don't want to do this business, it's better to make some herbs, and it can be more profitable, I said boss, you can't look at other herbs, we have everything."
Could it be that the wholesale of Cordyceps is still monopolized?
After asking a few more questions, Yao Wenjing felt that something was wrong, and if she continued to ask like this, the shops in the entire market would be finished by them, and she took Xie Yuanjiu's hand.
"Uncle Yuan Jiu, why don't we ask for a while, let's go through this market first."
On this day, Yao Wenjing and Xie Yuanjiu spent three hours browsing the entire medicinal herb market, and finally found that the stalls in the entire market, the other stalls were about the same size, only one was particularly large, connecting four or five stalls.
There are a few words written on the signboard: Shengxin Medicinal Materials Wholesale Bank.
They walked in.
