Chapter 166: Show Time
Next, Lu Songli gave full play to her expertise and started the journey of quality identification of medicinal materials.
For example, Forsythia and Bupleurum in Shexian County, sour jujube kernels in Neiqiu, Julu honeysuckle, Chengde skullcap, Longhua Atractylodes, Weixian Zhimu, etc., these authentic medicinal materials were all accepted by her hand.
The key is that she was not idle along the way, and she also brought out two apprentices.
Every time their convoy stopped near a village, they would make a trade with the villagers, either with the supplies they had brought from Chang'an City, or for money, or something. As long as the other party wants, as long as they have it, as long as they can exchange the medicinal materials in the other party's hands, they can trade it.
Their battle was huge, and if you don't know, you think they are a very mature caravan, but how do you know that they are actually a patchwork team?
They moved a lot, and what Lu Songli had thought about before happened, and someone came to trouble them. It was none other than the small medicinal herb vendors who had something to do with the villages.
Just after the New Year, spring has begun, and it is not yet the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, so they did not go out to the village to collect medicinal materials, waiting for a while, just to push the price down again. How do they know that if they are not careful, their homes have been stolen, can they not be in a hurry?
Some reasonable, salute first and then soldiers, and directly find them, saying that they are a bit unmartial arts in doing so, just like Guo Mao of Julu: some unreasonable, as soon as they come up, they will stage a full martial arts, and they are like Feng Kui.
For Lu Songli, these people came just in time and were right in the middle. These are her fish, uh, no, ahem, that's her target. Jokes, buying medicinal herbs collected by the villagers themselves, is just a small fight. Her plans never stopped there. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp. She was wronged to eat dried shrimp by herself, but her target was always small fish.
For those who salute first and then soldiers, Lu Songli set up tables and chairs in the beautiful scenery of the wilderness, put on the delicious biscuits and snacks brought from Chang'an City, and then made a pot of good tea, and then asked the brothers to politely invite people over and entertain them well.
Those who are unreasonable and stage full martial arts, let them go, and be cleaned up by Qin Sheng with troops first, and then bring people over.
Anyway, the second process is all to Lu Songli to come forward to convince people.
People like Guo Mao are easier to convince, in fact, whether it is the first or the second, as long as they come, they will be shocked by the force of the soldiers led by Qin Sheng.
In fact, when Guo Mao was brought over, he retreated and was impulsive. At this time, he didn't want to care about the other party's purchase of medicinal materials on his territory, and he just wanted to go back with all his tails. Unexpectedly, the other party instead started the idea of hoarding medicinal materials in his hands.
In fact, Guo Mao felt that the other party's price was quite sincere, and he did not let him buy and sell at a loss. If he sells the medicinal herbs he has hoarded to the other party, he can make a small profit. If according to his plan, hoard until the middle of the year and then sell, he still has to find someone to transport it over, the market, it's not easy to say, if it's good, it can make a profit of three or four percent. If the market is bad, it is possible to lose money.
“…… Brother Guo, do business, just make some money, never think about making the most money. The price of medicinal materials is too unstable, if you get it in the middle of the year, don't say that you occupy funds, will you definitely make money? Not necessarily, right? ”
"You might as well sell it to us, earn it first, settle in the pocket, and then you also have the activity funds in your hands, with your keen and unique vision, big brother, you can start in time when you find any good projects, so as not to miss a good opportunity to make money in vain."
Xue Xu looked at Guo Mao, who was already deep in thought, and knew in his heart that this person had been fooled and was going to be fooled.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the other party to relent.
Striking while the iron was hot, Lu Songli immediately asked someone to carry the silver back with him to deliver the medicinal materials.
Xue Xuxin, who was sitting on the side, said that a woman's mouth is a deceitful ghost.
"Your mouth is so powerful, and it has won the true inheritance of your father." No, it should be out of the blue, Lu Desheng's guy will only criticize people to the point of incompleteness, and he can't wait to come to this world once. And his daughter, even more amazing, the coffin can be opened by her.
Lu Songli didn't care about what he said, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
She only superficially analyzed the situation of "The Prospect of Unstable Prices of Chinese Medicinal Materials" and "How to Rationally Use the Resources and Funds in Hand" for the other party, and the other party listened to it, is there a problem?
"Yes, yes, you're right."
"Mr. Xue knows my father?" Lu Songli asked casually.
Xue Xu said disapprerovingly, "Your father is so famous in the court, who doesn't know who in this world doesn't know?" ”
The two chatted for a while.
Of course, there are also medicinal herb dealers who don't eat their set, such as Feng Kui.
Lu Songli didn't care, for this kind of stubbornness and refusal to cooperate, she only asked the other party to settle their appearance fee, and then let the other party leave.
People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, Feng Kui was aggrieved and gave the money before leaving.
In this way, when they traveled through Jizhou, they traveled all the way, trading all the way, mainly with the local medicinal herb purchasing merchants, and the trading items were high-quality authentic medicinal materials.
When others are exiled or traveling, the more supplies are used, the less they are used. But along the way, their carriage was never empty, and the food consumed and the vacated space were all filled with medicinal herbs.
It is worth mentioning that after Lu Songli's tea party, some small medicinal herb dealers were inspired to sell when they made a profit, and they did not want to sell at the highest point.
Some of them even reciprocated by introducing them to their top customers, some big herb dealers or big doctors.
Because Lu Songli understands the goods and is responsible for checking, the quality of the medicinal materials they receive is first-class, and the quality of the inferior ones, in order not to leave the carriage empty, they will collect some at first, but in the back, as the space becomes smaller, they basically only accept the best quality.
One of the things they said the most along the way was 'squeeze, squeeze and squeeze, put as much as you can, and don't let go of the gaps'.
Later, they added a number of horse-drawn carriages, and basically, the young and strong men in the convoy took turns to drive the carriages.
When the thirteenth car was added, Yang Wei found Lu Songli and complained, "Sixth young lady, you can't add another carriage, no one can drive a carriage!" "All told, there are twenty-five wagons in their convoy!
Lu Songli said coldly, "Can't drive the carriage?" Then learn! As long as you don't waste learning, you will learn from the dead! ”
Yang Wei: ...... Does even Chen Chang'an, a ten-year-old boy, have to be arranged?
Some medicinal materials are too much, and Lu Songli will sell some in a timely manner, and the object of sale is naturally the big medical hall introduced by the small medicinal herb dealers.
For the big medical hall that was found by Lu Songli and his party, a whole winter has passed, and their medicinal materials have been consumed a little too much, and they are about to replenish the stock.
Because the quality of the medicinal materials they received was good, although the price was a little more expensive than the one they purchased elsewhere, the price was higher, and it was just on the psychological line that they could accept, and they were already a little willing to trade. The other party is also responsible for home delivery, which saves them a lot of effort. Not bad, very good.
And Lu Songli can accept cash settlement, or they can use medicinal materials to pay.
The medicinal materials that Lu Songli and they asked for were all local authentic medicinal materials, and they happened to have a lot of hoarding. The price is given, just the kind that makes them a little bit profitable.
The other party knew at a glance that they were knowledgeable and connoisseurs, and the shopkeepers of the big medical hall put away those fancy intestines, and after calculating the amount to be used in the medical hall, the excess was exchanged for them.
Xue Xu is in charge of the general ledger, and when he finds that such a reversal seems to have not changed much, but in terms of calculation, the growth of their team's assets is rubbing.
