Looking at her neighbor's appearance, Grandma Hongdou no longer doubted that the money was stolen by her granddaughter, but she began to suspect that Qiao Qiao knew about their family's situation and deliberately wanted to help them.
"They have good intentions, but they don't know how to take advantage of others."
What's more, the girl from the city bought a bag of broken chrysanthemums from their family for 600 yuan, so what about other people's families?
If they collected all of it, how could the city girls have so much money to compensate them?
If I don’t accept it, won’t my reputation be ruined?
The little girl was young and ignorant, but she knew that it was very difficult for people with bad reputations to survive!
She sighed and stopped hitting Hongdou. Instead, she asked Hongdou to go to the dowry cabinet beside the bed and take out a small red cloth bag. After being reluctant for a while, she made up her mind, pulled Hongdou's hand, and walked towards the east end of the village step by step.
When they arrived, the old neighbor who had run so fast before was already humming a song and counting money while spitting.
Obviously, during the time that Grandma Li was moving forward step by step, he had already sold the wild chrysanthemums in his own home.
And sold a lot of them.
He glanced at Grandma Li and felt a little guilty.
Grandma Li glanced at him and became more certain about her previous guess.
"for you!"
With a cold face, she put the red cloth in her hand on the table in front of Qiao Qiao and turned away.
Judging from the way he looked, I thought he was not here to deliver medicine, but to cause trouble.
Kobayashi, who had been depressed and shocked, had not dared to report the situation here to the director before. Now seeing this, he seemed to have hope again and quickly asked the photographer to move the camera over.
The red cloth was peeled off layer by layer, revealing a wild ginseng that was as thick as a thumb, with intact roots, slightly yellow in color, and weighing about 40 grams. It looked like it was at least fifty years old.
Xiao Lin: "!!!"
Kobayashi subconsciously covered the camera and sat down on the ground.
Qiao Qiao curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Qingshan Village, nestled in the mountains and close to the water, was originally a good place for Chinese herbal medicine. She wanted to be a middleman here, could it be that she really wanted to make a small profit from the wild chrysanthemums?
Everyone who lives here has a few bunches of wild chrysanthemums, and who doesn’t have some hidden medicinal herbs?
"Grandma Li, wait!"
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao's voice when calling Grandma Li was extremely enthusiastic.
"how?"
Grandma Li turned around, her serious face showing no emotion, and asked, "This ginseng can't be sold for six hundred?"
As she spoke, she tremblingly took out the red bills that Hongdou had given her, as if as long as Qiao Qiao nodded, she would return a few of the six hundred yuan to her.
The cunning businessman Qiao was stunned for a moment and almost couldn't continue his cunning deeds.
"No, no."
She forced herself to suppress the corners of her mouth, trying to appear more sincere.
"I want to say that this ginseng is complete and of sufficient age, but the maximum I will pay is 300,000."
"Do you think this price is okay?"
Three hundred thousand?
Grandma Li's originally serious expression could no longer remain serious.
The corners of her lips trembled again and again before she murmured, "Last time, the last time the Zhao family secretly sold a ginseng, didn't they only sell it for a thousand?"
"Bang--"
As soon as these words came out, before Qiao Qiao could react, the old neighbor who had been humming a song and counting money collapsed to the ground out of excessive heartache, saying bitterly, "I was just bragging!"
"Actually, I only sold it for eight hundred!"
“…”
Two days later.
Qingshan Village once again used the Tractor brand ambulance.
Legend has it that Grandma Li, who was nearly dying of a serious illness, recovered without any medical help. Touching the 60,000 yuan deposit, she wiped away tears and kept saying, "Oh, if only I had met this city girl earlier, Hongdou's father wouldn't have taken the wrong path."
Qiao Qiao looked at her clean and honest, bright and clear children's palace and slowly typed a "?"
But before she had the time to ask in detail, almost everyone in the village rushed out frantically.
*
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Grandpa Tao’s ambulance is Qiao Qiao’s best billboard.
A few aunties in the village who were eating melon seeds found out the truth when the old man left the village, and they ran like they were on Hot Wheels.
Those who had money rushed home and took out the red cloth bags from their homes. Those who didn't have money, afraid of missing out on the fun, immediately surrounded Uncle Li's door.
"Hurry, look at mine first! Look at mine!"
"No, no, I was here first!"
They rush to be the first, fearing that they will fall behind others.
Qiao Qiao took a quick look.
Thirteen ginseng plants that are about thirty years old.
Two plants about fifty years old.
An old man looked hesitant and only took out half a tree.
When Qiao Qiao took a closer look, he found that the ginseng was actually over a hundred years old!
In addition, there is also a complete plant of Polygonum multiflorum!
Even Qiao Qiao, who had been prepared to receive good medicine, was a little surprised.
"With so many good medicines, it's impossible that there wasn't anyone in Qingshan Village who knew about it before, right?"
She frowned and asked the old man who took half a hundred-year-old ginseng.
Although the ginseng was damaged, its medicinal properties were not lost. It was obvious that it had been specially processed.
The old man glanced at Grandma Li but said nothing. He just kept asking Qiao Qiao how much the villagers' medicinal herbs could be sold for.
"There's definitely a range of 100,000 to 500,000, but the specific amount is..."
Qiao Qiao glanced at the only 40,000 yuan in cash left on his desk, feeling a bit sad about not being able to make much profit. "We have to wait until the doctor in the city comes to see us."
Otherwise, she simply wouldn't have that much money to pay the villagers in cash!
in a hurry!
"Forget it then."
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard what Qiao Qiao said, his face changed and he put away the red cloth bag in disappointment.
As soon as he left, the other old men hesitated for a while. Although they did not leave, they wanted to sell the ginseng in their hands to Qiao Qiao at a very cheap price.
"Well, thirty years."
"Ten thousand, I only want ten thousand."
"My, forty years!"
"I only want 8,000!"
"Fifty years, two, no, fifteen thousand will do!"
Qiao Qiao: “???”
Qiao Qiao: “!!!”
Grandma Hongdou’s ginseng, she had just taken a photo of it for Dr. Xiao Tang.
Doctor Tang was thrilled when he saw the pictures, saying they could never have too much of this old mountain ginseng. After Old Man Tang spoke, it was finalized: they would buy it at the market price plus 10%, for a total of 500,000 yuan.
If Qiao Qiao has anything else, or if there are enough medicinal herbs, they are even willing to pay an additional "brokerage fee".
Not to mention the agency fee, if we subtract 300,000 from 500,000, Qiao Qiao can make a net profit of 20.
The gross profit directly reached 40 percent.
It already feels very unconscionable.
But now, these uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law would not even let her earn 40%, and insisted on using nearly 100% profit to tempt her few remaining consciences.
Is this reasonable?
This is simply too much!!!
