Chapter 15 [Unexpected Joy, Century-old Ginseng]
Lin Ze was not hungry at this moment.
However, in the face of the old village chief's invitation, he still smiled and agreed: "Then bother." ”
More than 1,000 catties of matsutake mushrooms were packed in several large sacks, all piled on donkey carts.
The donkey couldn't pull such a heavy load, and it was An Ye's sons who helped push the cart that allowed Lin Ze to drive the donkey cart to the yard of An Ye's house and stop.
Anye's home is not very luxurious, but a few thatched huts made of wood and thatch.
But the victory lies in the vastness of space.
Even if a donkey cart is placed, it doesn't look crowded.
"What do you have to say?"
In the hall, Lin Ze was beckoned by An Ye to sit down.
He glanced at the donkey cart parked in the courtyard.
He took a bowl of tea handed over by An Ye's daughter-in-law, but he didn't drink it.
Walking outside, although friendly relations have been initially established with the people of the two river villages, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
And there is another problem, although the water and soil environment of the other world has been verified by Lin Ze, it is roughly the same as the main world, but the living and hygiene habits of this ancient countryside are not very flattering.
Even if the old village chief's bowl of tea was safe and non-toxic, Lin Ze was afraid that he would turn into a jet warrior after drinking it.
An Ye smiled and said, "Ziyi, didn't you go down the mountain to buy rare medicinal materials?" The old man has many years of accumulated medicinal materials in his house, so let's see what price you can give. ”
He told his son, who was standing by, to fetch the herbs from the house.
An Ye was afraid that Lin Ze would be too distracted, and explained frankly: "Please forgive Ziyi, the medicinal materials are precious, and I am afraid of causing trouble, so I couldn't take it out directly last time." ”
According to normal circumstances, Anye would not take rare medicinal materials and sell them to Lin Ze this time.
Even if you want to trade, you need to have a certain level of trust between the two parties.
It may take a year and a half for Lin Ze to establish a friendship with the villagers of Lianghe Village.
However, the bones of those twelve rogues created a prestige for Lin Ze, which greatly increased his credibility in the hearts of the villagers of Lianghe Village.
Now, the villagers of Lianghe Village have the impression that Lin Ze is a decent young man from a famous family.
It is a reputable existence.
This is the reason why An Ye chose to sell rare medicinal materials to Lin Ze at this time.
-----------------
Soon, An Ye's son came back and opened a soft cloth bag and put it in front of Lin Ze.
"100-year-old ginseng?"
Lin Ze looked at the medicinal herbs in this soft cloth bag, it was an old ginseng that was already close to a human form, and said in surprise.
To tell the truth, his acquisition of rare medicinal materials was just an excuse for his activities in this Great Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't expect to make money by buying and reselling rare medicinal materials at all.
In the main world, one gram of 100-year-old ginseng costs about 100,000 yuan, and the weight of a normal 100-year-old ginseng is 350 grams after drying, and the price in modern times is 3 to 5 million.
According to its weight, the market price of a century-old ginseng in this world is between 800 taels and more than 1,000 taels of silver.
The price of one gram of silver is almost 5.2 yuan, and a thousand taels of silver is 260,000 yuan, and it is only more than ten times the profit to resell a hundred years of ginseng.
This profit margin is not as good as selling sugar, and the quantity of 100-year-old ginseng is extremely precious and scarce.
If the two realms traded to make money with this, he would probably have starved to death long ago.
As a result, I didn't expect that at the moment, I had no intention of inserting willows into the shade.
"This old ginseng was picked by my son a few years ago, but he didn't meet a suitable buyer before, so he kept it at home."
"Now that Ziyi needs it, I'll sell it to you."
Anye explained.
"Can I get started?"
Lin Ze took the opportunity to put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked the old man in front of him.
"Please."
Hearing An Ye's promise, Lin Ze took out a pair of gloves from his arms and put them on, and took out the old ginseng placed in the soft cloth bag.
The main stem of this old ginseng is humanoid and has extremely well-developed roots.
Lin Ze confirmed that the weight of this old ginseng was about one or two according to the method he had specially learned to identify ginseng, and the year was indeed more than 100 years.
"It is indeed a hundred-year-old ginseng, if the elders are willing, they can buy it at the price of one hundred taels of silver for one dollar of ginseng."
Lin Ze put down the old ginseng and looked at An Ye and said seriously.
Hearing this, a happy color appeared on Anye's face.
Although he has not cashed out this old ginseng for safety reasons over the years, he still has some understanding of the price of 100-year-old ginseng.
Lin Ze's purchase price is not only fair, but can even be said to be a high price.
"Since it's already taken out, it's naturally willing to sell."
Surveon expressed his meaning affirmatively.
Seeing this, Lin Ze went to the donkey cart to get the scales and weighed the century-old ginseng.
In the end, the result was one tael and one dollar, which is 55 grams.
Ginseng is very heavy when it is still planted in the soil, and it is very remarkable to have this weight after drying.
"This weight, 1,100 taels of silver."
Lin Ze spoke.
This old ginseng is brought back to modern times, and it can be sold for about 5.5 million, deducting the value of 286,000 yuan of the 1,100 taels of silver paid by Lin Ze at the moment, and making a net profit of 5.214 million yuan.
Although the profit margin is not high, only less than twenty times the profit margin, but the absolute profit is very high!
"Wait, elder, let me write a contract, sign and draw the pledge to complete the delivery of the money and goods."
Lin Ze put down the old ginseng and said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took the paper and a brush that had been prepared from the donkey cart, opened an inkwell and filled it with ink, and began to write.
"On July 8, the third year of Antai, I received a century-old ginseng from the home of An Ye, a villager in Lianghe Village, Qinghe Township, weighing one tael and one penny, with a price of 1,100 taels of silver, and two taels of money and goods today, as a voucher."
Antai is the name of the emperor of the current Great Zhou Dynasty.
The contract was written in duplicate, and after Lin Ze wrote it, he left his and Anye's names as the payment.
Then he took out a box of ink, and he and Anye left handprints on their names.
After completing all this, Lin Ze opened a bag placed in the corner of the donkey cart, revealing one of the silver ingots in the shape of ingots.
These silver ingots had been prepared by Lin Ze before the first transaction between the two realms, and there were a total of 1,500 taels of silver.
These silver were worth 390,000 yuan, and at that time, Lin Ze directly placed an order at the gold and silver store in the same city of the main world to buy these silver taels in order to make it up.
Seventy-five kilograms of silver, although not very convenient to carry, is also a necessary weight.
Although Lin Ze can bring gems and glass beads, which are not valuable in the modern world, but are very valuable in ancient times, to use them in the other world as money, the problem is that these things are not easy to realize, and these villagers in the countryside may not be willing to accept them.
The last time I brought these silver taels didn't come in handy, but this time it came into play.
Bringing out this bag of silver ingots, Lin Ze counted out 22 of them.
"These silver ingots cost fifty taels each, and twenty-two ingots are just 1,100 taels of silver, and the elders are invited to check them."
Lin Ze said.
