Chapter 4 Selling Ginseng
There is also a book which is even more of a treasure, but for her in modern times, it is helpless to have a treasure but not be able to use it.
Why?
Because it is a medical book and pharmacopoeia, and it contains at least a thousand prescriptions for curing diseases and saving lives.
But the herbs in the prescription were even more confusing, as she had never heard of many of them.
She also went to the hospital to ask, but they said that there was no such medicine at all, which made her very confused.
Even if she could only draw something like it, people would think she had read too many novels and was just trying to tease them.
She couldn't experiment with those high-end things, but she had experimented with many ordinary things. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a fortune at such a young age.
In the end, he was plotted against and killed by a group of people.
The most urgent thing now is Xia's father's leg. Xia Yutong thought about her way out while taking a bath.
After getting dressed and leaving the space, she went straight to the pharmacy. After asking many people and finding out about a reputable medical store, she went in.
"Little girl, is someone in your family sick?" Anyone who can work in a pharmacy has a pair of eyes that can spot a patient.
"Little brother, my dad's leg is injured." Xia Yutong immediately got into the role. She was only seven years old, seven years old.
She looks no more than five years old, which is quite deceptive.
"Then where is your father?" The waiter in the pharmacy asked anxiously when he heard that there was a real patient.
Xia Yutong's eyes immediately turned red. She remembered that the little white flower in the TV series looked like this, and it made everyone feel distressed.
"My father is at home and can't move. The village doctor saw him and asked me to come to the town to get medicine." She can handle getting medicine by herself.
"Oh, I see." Obviously, the second brother was relieved after hearing what the little girl said.
"Give me the recipe and I'll get it for you." The second brother looked down on Xia Yutong even though she was wearing tattered clothes.
Give her the utmost respect.
"But I don't have any money." Xia Yutong raised her head, looking conflicted. "But don't worry, little brother. I won't refuse it. My father was injured yesterday when he went to the mountains to look for this thing. The village doctor said he didn't have money to buy it." After that, Xia Yutong took out a thumb-sized ginseng from her arms.
The roots are well preserved without any scars. You can tell that they are top quality without even looking at them because they have just come out of the soil and are full of vitality.
When the waiter saw what the little girl was holding, he opened his mouth in surprise and immediately shouted towards the store.
"Master, master, please come out quickly." This completely overturned the image just now.
Soon an old man ran out from the inner room, "Why are you shouting? What happened?" The old man looked to be about fifty years old, but his beard was quite long.
His hands kept stroking it, and it looked quite smooth.
Xia Yutong looked at the beard, her hands itching, and she had an urge to pull it out.
But she endured it and stared at the person who came.
"Master, look quickly." After saying that, he pointed his hand at the little girl in front of him.
I don’t know what’s going on recently, but the price of ginseng has been rising wildly. Since ginseng isn’t produced here, it’s extremely difficult to buy a good quality ginseng.
If their master didn't have some connections, or if the hunters in the surrounding mountains didn't send some, I'm afraid their pharmacy would not have this medicine.
Of course he was surprised and excited to come across ginseng of such good quality.
The old man looked in the direction of his silly apprentice's hand. He didn't know what he saw until he was shocked.
This is really a top-quality product, and it was just unearthed. "Little, little girl." The old man became a little anxious.
If I hadn't been paying attention to my image, I would have just attacked him.
Xia Yutong was bewildered. Isn't it just a few-decade-old ginseng? When did it become so valuable in ancient times?
"Here." Xia Yutong handed the ginseng to the old man with both hands: "Old doctor, please show me how much it is worth." She originally came here to sell this ginseng.
It would be even better if the pharmacy valued it.
The old doctor took it without hesitation and began to grope around. After a while, he finally stopped and said, "Little girl, where did you get this ginseng?"
His original intention was to know whether there would be such ginseng in the future?
Maybe it's because he speaks so directly in his daily life, which makes people who hear him think too much.
"My father dug this out from the mountains. He even injured his leg because of it, and now he can't even get out of bed." He sounded very pitiful, and the story flowed more and more smoothly.
The second brother also spoke up. In his heart, he wanted the master to accept the ginseng. The county magistrate's wife came to ask about it last time, but they really didn't have any good stuff left.
He was really anxious because he couldn't make money.
"You little bastard, why are you talking so much?" The old man is the owner of Jishantang and the only doctor in the pharmacy.
His surname is Zhong, and everyone in the town calls him Doctor Zhong.
He didn't miss the slightest bit of disgust in the little girl's eyes just now, which meant that she was not as ignorant as she seemed.
Now that the items were in his own store, he would of course take them if he could afford it.
"Little girl, can you go to the backyard and talk with the old man?" Doctor Zhong was also born into a wealthy family. He came here just to accompany his wife in her old age.
This place is quiet and suitable for retirement. I opened this pharmacy just to kill the boring days.
My wife went out to appreciate the flowers today. She heard that the Ning family in the city has released a new variety of lotus. My wife loves this lotus, but she just can't keep it alive. Whatever she raises dies.
Thinking about the medicinal seedlings in his own medicinal field, he felt so heartbroken.
Xia Yutong was a very smart person. Seeing the old man's expression change, she immediately let go of her previous restraint.
"Please come in, Mr. Zhong." The little guy has changed a lot.
Only the waiter looked confused. Was this girl in front of him too good at pretending?
"Haha, good, the little girl is brave enough." Old Zhong laughed and took her directly to the backyard.
When he reached the door curtain, Master Zhong turned around and glared at his worthless apprentice: "You little bastard, take good care of the shop."
Backyard, I didn’t expect that there was so much hidden inside this small pharmacy.
"Okay, little girl, stop pretending. There is no outsider here. Tell me, what price do you want to sell this ginseng for?" Interesting little girl.
Xia Yutong sat on a stone bench. This old man was really wary. He actually took her to sit in the backyard. He was such a stingy guy. She didn't want to eat him.
"Just name a price. If it's marketable, I'll sell it to you." She really didn't care about this ginseng.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Zhong felt very unfulfilled. "Aren't you afraid that I'll give you a low price?"
"Don't be afraid, you can only cheat me once." She didn't want too much ginseng.
"Hehe, you're quite arrogant. How much do you have on hand?" Mr. Zhong is also a shrewd man.
"Not many, maybe five or six, and some are even older." Xia Yutong didn't plan to put any more in there.
But you can't reveal all your secrets.
