Chapter 296 Lots of Money

The county's medicinal herb company's purchasing department is packed with people from various townships and villages who come to sell medicinal herbs every day.

The ginseng that Sheng Xiping brought included ginseng that weighed more than three ounces in large quantities and nearly two ounces in small quantities. It was conservatively estimated that it would sell for one or two thousand yuan.

Adding the cost of bear bile, it's quite a lot.

With people coming and going, Sheng Xiping didn't want to attract too much attention, so he didn't take out the ginseng directly, but instead handed the bag to the other person for a glance.

The staff in the acquisition department had been doing this for years, so they were knowledgeable and understood immediately. They then invited Sheng Xiping inside for a detailed discussion.

"Xiao Zhang, can you keep things clear over here? I need to go inside and talk to this comrade about something."

The man, who looked to be under forty, nodded to Sheng Xiping and led him to the room next door, leaving two young staff members to look after him.

"Comrade, could you take out the ginseng from your bag and let me take a look?"

Upon arriving at the adjacent room, the other party spoke to Sheng Xiping quite politely.

“Okay.” Sheng Xiping nodded, took out five birch bark rolls from his backpack, and placed them on the table one by one.

The Zhou and Sheng families had saved up a lot of cloth and cotton coupons, which they used to buy cloth and cotton to make swaddling clothes, cotton-padded jackets, and cotton-padded trousers for Xiong Shao and the baby in his belly.

"How about this, don't be stingy with seventy yuan, round it up and give him eight thousand, okay?"

"Four hundred and forty isn't even fair; you're trying to rip him off." The man shook his head.

The shape of the Seven Mountain Ginseng is flawed, but according to the time, it has achieved perfection in all seven shapes, making it a genuine first-class bear bile.

"Don't give me 440, give me 1000, you don't even have seven seedlings yet."

I'm all alone with a little over eight thousand yuan. If I run into someone, it could be troublesome.

"That ginseng is heavy and has a beautiful shape. The only flaw isn't the rhizome. Is it a seedling-turned-fertilized ginseng? Is it a seven-year-old or a seven-grade leaf ginseng?"

"What a pity, if the rhizome was also beautiful, the price could be even lower."

So Xiong Shaohe rushed to the bus station with great care and bought a ticket for 1 a.m. to return to Songjianghe.

"Mom, it's for you. You're short of money, so why would he give you so little?"

We came to that house separately earlier to discuss the sale. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was something even more valuable.

Indeed, very few people saw Sheng Liancheng selling Xiong Shao earlier.

At that time, the early green beans were already drooping, but the late green beans were growing thick and lush.

Then, another staff member took the money and counted it again to confirm that there were no errors before handing the receipts and money to Sheng Liancheng.

Then the man took the key, opened the cabinet, and took out eight brand-new bundles of money from outside.

"Seven ginseng roots, the one that has undergone seven cycles of reincarnation sold for a thousand, the rest of mine sold for two thousand, a total of eight thousand yuan, Mom, count it."

To help Sheng Xiping's family, Xiong Shaohe went to great lengths to fabricate lies, and now he can only try to cover them up.

"Mom, while everyone's home, he should quickly put the money away and make sure not to tell these guys."

"Oh, what's going on at the overhaul plant? Just go check in and come right back."

On the morning of the 4th, Sheng Liancheng and Chen Ruiqing went shopping together.

Sheng Liancheng, on the other hand, carried his bag and returned home.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Liancheng hurriedly declined.

My husband and I both earn money, and we live with our parents, so what expenses do we need? Why would we need so little money?

Coincidentally, the first ginseng seedling that was unearthed was not this seven-year-old ginseng.

Upon seeing the five scrolls, the other person was somewhat surprised. "These, are they all yours?"

Back then, 440 yuan was almost equivalent to Zhou Qinglan's annual salary, which was definitely a huge sum of money.

Once they are free, they can no longer come to Houchuan Forest Farm to pick up Chen Feng at any time.

Cut the cowpeas into thin strips, blanch the cowpeas and white beans in boiling water, peel off the skins and remove the outer beans, and spread them out under a tattered mat.

This is a pouch that Xiong Shaohe specially sewed for me. It is tied below the waist and covered with clothes inside.

At the same time, he also instructed Sheng Xiping to write a letter to Lijiawa as soon as possible to reassure Miao Canzhi.

"Wow, it's huge! That one must weigh at least eight ounces."

The base price for bear bile purchases is always set at 80 yuan for a half-ounce bear bile, 180 yuan for a one-ounce bear bile, and 780 yuan for a seven-ounce bear bile. If the bear bile is less than seven ounces, the price will increase significantly.

The man was very satisfied with the seven ginsengs he had received that day, so he readily added another seventy yuan to the price.

Chen Feng is slow to adapt to the Sheng family and his interactions with them are also problematic, which makes it difficult for Sheng Xi to focus on her work.

"No, we met them when we went into the mountains," Sheng Xiping said with a smile, casually brushing it off.

After counting the money, Xiong Shaohe stuffed it, along with the money from selling Shao Min, into the cloth bag around his waist.

"Honey, are we dreaming?" Zhang Shuzhen had no doubt that what she was seeing was real, so she turned to Zhou Qinglan and asked.

Place the ginseng on one side of the balance scale, then take out weights and place them one by one on the other side.

If no one is watching closely, there's someone right behind you, who could really say anything.

We arrived at the forest farm around four o'clock. Chen Ruiqing was a student in the Ganshi class, so we went straight to school after getting on the bus.

First, adjust the rider on the upper scale to keep the balance balanced.

Eight thousand! In those days, eight thousand was a huge sum of money for anyone.

The other party smiled helplessly, "How about this, you look at the rest of my goods first, and after you've looked at them all, you can add a little more for him, okay?"

Seeing his parents' dejected expressions, Sheng Liancheng couldn't help but laugh. "That's nothing. In the future, our family will never have less money."

In fact, Zhou Qinglan was also stunned by the money behind her.
