The manager picked up one of the purple Ganoderma lucidum with a very professional gesture and looked at it in his hand.
Judging the quality of Ganoderma lucidum is very particular and there is a story behind it.
Ganoderma lucidum of good quality generally has a short stalk and thick flesh. If you look closely at the back or bottom of the cap, you can see that the lines are light yellow or golden yellow, which are often the best, while white is second best, and grayish white with large gaps between the lines are often the worst.
The two purple Ganoderma lucidums of Jiang Sui have fine and dense golden lines, short and thick handles, thick flesh, and are about ten years old. They are rare good goods among Ganoderma lucidums of this year.
There is also a red Ganoderma lucidum, which is slightly smaller than the two purple Ganoderma lucidums. The lines on the bottom are light yellow and it is about eight years old. Although it is slightly inferior to the two purple Ganoderma lucidums, it is also very rare in the market.
Finally, looking at the ginseng she brought, it was about twenty years old, which was considered old ginseng, but because it had not yet grown round stalks, it was judged to be less than thirty years old.
This ginseng was well processed, with its roots well preserved and obvious branch roots. It can be determined to be pure wild ginseng, but it suffers from a lack of age. If it can grow another ten or twenty years, it will be worth a lot of money.
Even so, it does not prevent it from being sold for money. It is a top-quality product for daily health supplementation.
Jiang Sui had been silently watching the manager's expression, while Xiao's mother was a little nervous. It was said that Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng were valuable, but she didn't know how much these were worth.
When the manager was looking at them, he couldn't help but nodded several times, which showed that he was very satisfied with the quality of the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
Although Jiang Sui cannot say that she knows a lot, she was born in the 21st century and has a childhood friend who is in the supplement business and often deals with Ganoderma lucidum. She also taught her a few tricks on how to choose good Ganoderma lucidum on the market.
Therefore, she was ready to bargain. The more money she could make, the better it would be for her to make the trip all the way here.
After a while, the manager had finished looking. He put the things back into the basket very carefully with a smile on his face.
"You two, I have already checked the stuff. It is good stuff. These two purple Ganoderma lucidum are about ten years old and of top quality. According to the market price, I will give you eight taels of silver for each. As for this red Ganoderma lucidum, it is about eight years old and of a lower quality than the two purple Ganoderma lucidum, so I will give you five taels of silver.
This ginseng is wild ginseng, less than 30 years old, but the roots are dense and the appearance is superior. Even if it is 4 taels, the total is 25 taels of silver. Do you think it is feasible?"
The manager carefully explained the ins and outs of this to the mother and daughter, and did not take advantage of them, but gave them a fair price.
This was within Jiang Sui's acceptable range. The price was not only within her expected range, but even exceeded it by a lot. She had originally thought of selling it for at least twenty taels.
result……
She was already prepared. If the manager didn't give her a satisfactory price, she would explain everything she knew and try to raise the price to what she wanted.
On the other hand, when Xiao's mother heard that these things were worth twenty-five taels of silver, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her hand that was holding Jiang Sui's wrist was shaking.
She is a very typical country woman. Some people work hard all their lives and only earn a few dozen taels of property. The family also has to pay for food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and there are expenses everywhere.
She had thought about the value of these Ganoderma lucidum ginseng, but she had never thought they would be so valuable.
Jiang Sui thought, if Jishantang really didn't take advantage of others, it meant that its reputation was well-established.
So, she didn't plan to waste time:
"Yes, you are a straightforward person. Jishantang has a good reputation and all the compliments are good words. We trust you. Let's do as you said and make the deal for twenty-five taels of silver."
Jiang Sui stood up with a decent smile on his face. He spoke clearly and neither servilely nor arrogantly, and he was able to hold his ground.
This also made the manager look at her with a higher eye. The young woman in front of him looked young but calm. Judging from the way she was dressed, she was most likely from a farming family. He didn't expect that she could remain calm when she heard about such a huge sum of money. It was not easy.
After all, twenty-five taels of silver is indeed a huge sum of money for ordinary farmers. If it is used in the village, it can build many large brick and tile houses. Ordinary people cannot save so much money in their lifetime.
For example, the elder next to her, after hearing the price, although she was trying her best to control her facial expression, one could still tell from her red eyes that she was very excited and turbulent at the moment.
"Okay, I'll ask the accountant to produce two receipts right away. The transaction will be backed up, and you and I can both rest assured. Once the receipts are written and we both put our fingerprints on them and sign our names, I'll ask the accountant to prepare the cash for you."
Jiang Sui had the same idea. The transaction had a basis in evidence, and any accidents in the future could be explained clearly. This was the advantage of a formal enterprise. It was rigorous and reassuring, and it saved her the trouble of speaking.
Soon, the accountant prepared two copies of the receipt, one for Xiao's mother and one for the manager. The manager had already written his name and pressed his fingerprints on both copies, and also stamped the seal of Jishan Hall in the lower right corner.
But when it was Xiao's mother's turn, she was in a dilemma. She could press her fingerprints, but she couldn't write. It was the first time for her to do such a formal thing, and she was in trouble because she couldn't write.
She held the brush in her hand, but she didn't know how to hold it correctly.
Jiang Sui and the manager both saw Xiao's mother's embarrassment, but the reason why Jiang Sui asked Xiao's mother to sign was very simple.
The original owner, Jiang Sui, had never been to school, couldn't read a single word, and couldn't write at all. She couldn't just reveal the truth, right?
Otherwise, wouldn't it arouse suspicion if someone who has never even touched a book suddenly learned to write?
But fortunately, the manager was also very perceptive. He said to Xiao's mother:
"Madam, if it's inconvenient for you, I can write for you. Just tell me your name. But I have to tell you in advance that you are already familiar with the contents of this document. There can be no ambiguity about the silver. This concerns the interests of both you and me. I handed over the money and you handed over the goods. If there is a problem with the goods in the future, you can't just stay out of it!"
Ancient times were different from modern times. In modern times, it is absolutely forbidden to sign on behalf of others. However, it was different in ancient times. Only names and fingerprints were recognized, so signing on behalf of others was not impossible as long as the person concerned agreed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother subconsciously looked at Jiang Sui, seeking her opinion.
Jiang Sui thought, she dug these things by herself, how could she not know if there were any problems? Pure wild Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng would not harm people, so she could just sign it without worry.
So she nodded to Xiao's mother, indicating that she could agree.
