Chapter 214 Selling Medicinal Herbs
Sheng Changlong snorted, "Stop flattering me and close the door."
He sat in the main room and poured himself some tea.
"Show me what you brought. I'll give you the best price for your master's sake. I promise I won't cheat you, little girl."
"Then thank you in advance, Grandpa Sheng. These are the samples I brought, both prepared and fresh. If you think they're worth it, I'll deliver them to you as soon as night falls."
Cen Yan smiled and handed over the medicinal herbs she had prepared beforehand.
They were all planted in the space.
The black soil in the space has the special ability to accelerate and improve quality. It would be a real waste to use it only for growing fruit trees and vegetables, so Cen Yan used most of it to grow medicinal herbs.
However, she only grows common medicinal herbs that are widely used in the market, such as the astragalus in her hand, as well as honeysuckle, goji berries, and notoginseng in the bag.
When Sheng Changlong first saw that Cen Yan had only brought out ordinary medicinal herbs, he was somewhat disappointed. These kinds of herbs, which were practically worthless on the black market, wouldn't fetch much of a price. Oh well, he'd give her a little more, considering it a favor to his own disciples and grand-disciples.
Out of respect for Huang Yuchang, Sheng Changlong still inspected the medicinal herbs that Cen Yan had taken out. But as soon as he opened the medicine packet, his eyes lit up: "Huh?"
After exclaiming in surprise, he picked up some medicinal herbs and smelled them, then did the same to smell other herbs, nodding repeatedly.
"Although they are all common medicinal herbs, the processing methods are decent, and the age is also good. Girl, are all the medicinal herbs you brought out wild?"
Cen Yan blushed a little, but it would be an understatement to call the medicinal herbs produced by the space wild and all-natural.
She nodded. "It's wild. It's precisely because it's so rare that my master asked me to send it to you, Grandpa Sheng. We should keep the good stuff in the family!"
"What a great saying, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' That's how it should be. It's only because that old codger Yuchang refused to accept my favor that he was banished to a godforsaken place like Dongming Island. Girl, these medicinal herbs of yours are very common in the market, but the quality is excellent. How about this, a flat price, regardless of the variety, I'll give you seven yuan and fifty cents a pound, how about it?"
As a worker at a health center, although she was only a nurse, Cen Yan had a basic understanding of the prices of Chinese medicinal herbs.
The price for fresh medicinal herbs is a uniform 7.5 yuan per kilogram, which is quite high for Sheng Changlong, and it's about the same as the price she expected for this batch of ordinary medicinal herbs produced by her space.
So he smiled and nodded, "Okay! Thank you, Grandpa Sheng."
"No problem, just bring the things over tonight. Oh, right, I forgot to ask earlier, how much medicinal material do you have? Give me an approximate quantity so I can ask your senior and junior brothers to prepare the money in advance."
"It weighs about a hundred pounds, all of which are unprocessed." Processed herbs shrink significantly in size and weight. Since there is a fixed price, Cen Yan doesn't want to sell the herbs she has prepared. She prefers to keep them in her space for other uses.
After saying this, Cen Yan added, "When I came, I wasn't sure if Grandpa Sheng would accept my medicinal herbs, so I brought a little less. If you can handle a large quantity, I'll send more to Lancheng next time."
"be able to eat!"
With Huang Yuchang as guarantor, Sheng Changlong wasn't afraid of Cen Yan gossiping outside.
"Shennongzhai has private collaborations with pharmaceutical factories and also deals with private pharmaceutical workshops. They also process medicinal herbs themselves. They can handle not just 100 jin, but 1,000 jin or even 10,000 jin. However, the specific price depends on the quality."
The first time, you can give Cen Yan a slightly higher price as a favor, but you can't do that the second or third time. You have to handle things officially based on Cen Yan's character.
Of course, if the medicinal herbs Cen Yan sent were the same as this time, he would definitely offer the highest price!
It might even exceed the market price by a third or more than double, after all, good medicine is hard to come by.
Cen Yan understood.
"I'll deliver the goods to you again when I have time in a while. I still need to pick up my admission ticket for the junior TCM doctor exam, so I'll take my leave now."
