Chapter 41 The duck you got has turned into chicken feathers?
Taking a brave look, she saw an old man with disheveled hair reaching out and hugging one of her thighs. Only now did Ma Chunhua remember that her wealth should not be exposed.
"Let go, or I will call someone?"
Ma Chunhua has never had contact with a man in her entire life. She is a non-marriage person, let alone hugging him like she is now.
"Just give me something to stutter?" The old man only said one sentence to express his purpose, but there was no follow-up.
Ma Chunhua lowered her head and looked at the old man, "You are quite dignified as a beggar. Why don't others beg as precious as you do? You should learn from others, should you say please, do well and so on?"
"
The old man sat down on the ground, as if something heavy was falling on him and he couldn't get up.
Looking at the purse in Ma Chunhua's hand, her eyes brightened and she said, "If you give me a meal today, I will repay you twice as much tomorrow."
Ma Chunhua looked down at the old man. He didn't look like an ordinary beggar in tattered clothes. He was not very shabby, but he smelled very bad. He couldn't tell what the smell was.
After thinking about it, I would rather believe that he is really in trouble, or that he has good intentions to accumulate some virtue for his descendants.
He casually took out seven cents of money from his purse and handed it to the old man: "Take it, this money is enough to buy a bowl of noodles. If you still have some money to make a living, don't beg from others anymore. You won't live like this for long."
After advising the old man, he took his daughter and walked towards the largest rejuvenation hall in the town.
Ma Chunhua had already inquired about it, and found out that the Huichun Hall in the town was the largest medicine hall in Xinglin Town, and the character of the masters and shopkeepers there were more reliable than those in other small medicine shops.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the young man coming over to greet me enthusiastically: "Boy, do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?"
Ma Chunhua did not reply immediately, but took a look inside, turned around and asked, "Does your medicine hall accept medicinal materials?"
The young man heard that he was here to sell medicinal materials, so he lowered his head and looked at the mother and daughter in front of him.
After looking up and down, he didn't have any strange attitude towards the simple mother and daughter, and then said: "Please come with me, and the shopkeeper He of our shop will take over?"
Seeing this, Ma Chunhua took her daughter into the medicine hall and saw that the place inside the medicine shop was very spacious. On the east side, there was a doctor who was attending a clinic and was seeing a doctor.
There are many people seeing doctors in the shop, and you can tell at a glance that the business of this shop is booming.
Opposite the door is a neatly arranged medicine cabinet. In front of it is a very tall and long counter, and behind it stands an old man of about fifty.
The young man came over and introduced: "This is the shopkeeper He of our store. What can I tell him?"
After the boy finished explaining, he turned around and continued to receive the guests at the door.
Ma Chunhua didn't allow him to look carefully and asked, "Do you want ginseng here?"
Shopkeeper He was always busy and did not look down on the plainly dressed mother and daughter.
When the old lady said that she had ginseng on her body, her eyes were full of doubts, and she asked dubiously: "Here, sister, do you have any on hand? We agreed in advance that the wild ginseng in the mountains is not very old and cannot be sold at a good price.
?”
Ma Chunhua smiled and said: "I know, I'm not a person who doesn't understand anything. Since you accept it, why don't you help me find out how much this one is worth?"
Ma Chunhua took out the century-old ginseng from her arms and handed it over. Originally, shopkeeper He didn't take the mother and daughter seriously, thinking that they were poor and what they brought wouldn't be much better.
But when she looked up, she saw the dark color of the ginseng peel, the age of the reed bowl, and the density of the iron lines. She didn't dare to neglect it, and held the ginseng carefully, and her attitude became respectful when she raised her eyes again.
"Sister, can we use the back room to talk?"
Shopkeeper He saw the value of ginseng and let the mother and daughter into the small reception room behind the thigh. Shopkeeper He asked: "What's your surname, sister? Which village do you live in? Can you tell me the source of this ginseng?"
Ma Chunhua heard the shopkeeper's three consecutive questions and had no intention of hiding it. She replied: "Ma Chunhua! People from Xitang Village, this ginseng was accidentally obtained by my sons and I when we went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and went deep into the woods. Shopkeeper He, thank you."
Can you tell me a price?"
Shopkeeper He looked at Ma Chunhua's fat appearance and the scared look in the little girl's eyes standing next to him, and he knew at a glance that the two of them were inexperienced in the world.
"It looks like this ginseng is a hundred years old, and its texture, age, and color are both good. But Zhang's sister, you probably took a long time to collect this ginseng. Do you think it's weathered?"
Weathered? Qiaoyun didn't understand and was a little flustered. The shopkeeper said this, does this mean that the ginseng is no longer valuable?
Ma Chunhua suddenly felt a little annoyed. She had been so busy working on the candied roasted chestnuts and chestnut cakes these past few days that she actually forgot to store them properly?
You're careless! You're careless! Didn't the duck you got turn into chicken feathers?
I blame myself for forgetting the correct way to store ginseng. I can't blame myself for this, because my family really doesn't have the conditions.
In the past, it would have been nice to have a refrigerator, a constant-temperature warehouse, or a sealed space where conditions permitted!
However, century-old ginseng is still rich in nutrients and will not depreciate in value just because of weathering for a few days. This little old man is in business, so he must be taking this opportunity to catch the wrong ginseng and get a bargain price?
Shopkeeper He thought that he would scare mother and daughter by throwing out a few professional terms. Unexpectedly, Ma Chunhua actually had a different explanation when she opened her mouth.
"He Guanshi, if we talk about weathering, I admit that it is indeed neglected in the past few days. It was not sealed and stored, and it was in contact with the air. The nutrients in ginseng will volatilize or deteriorate over time when they come into contact with the air. However, it should not be a problem after only two or three days.
Da, I inquired about the reputations of all the shops in the town, and came here because of the good reputation of Huichun Hall. I believe that the price you give will be fair and just? Provided that you are sincere in accepting it?"
Shopkeeper He always thought that Ma Chunhua was just an ordinary village woman. Hearing her clear explanation of the medicinal properties of medicinal materials in her words improved the reputation of the store. He sincerely planned to cooperate. If he could handle such good-skinned ginseng again,
Maybe it will fly?
Shopkeeper He himself also wanted to keep the rare and good ginseng, but he was just picky about the normal business and wanted to lower the price.
He kept his expression low, knowing that the other party was not a simple person. At the same time, he also made it clear that he could not lower the price too low. After all, Huichun Hall did things above board.
"Of course I accept it sincerely. I didn't expect that the girls from the Zhang family know a lot. I don't think the bad manners are very serious. But when we do business like this, we must put the villain first and then the gentleman. Put the issue on the bright side. If you sincerely sell, I will also
I sincerely accept it, so you won’t mind, right?”
Ma Chunhua smiled slightly: "I was negligent and ignored the storage conditions. I can understand if you lower the price. I wonder how much money shopkeeper He can give?"
Shopkeeper He lowered his head and thought for a moment. If it had been before, he might have randomly set the price and accepted it at 90.
Now this lady seems to be very knowledgeable about medicinal materials and good at interpersonal communication. If the offer is too low, she may not be able to keep her down, and she will lose her sincerity.
"Although the texture of ginseng is good in all years, the slight flaw is that it has not been stored and weathered in the past few days. How about I pay a hundred taels?" This chapter has been completed!
