Chapter 28: Ganoderma lucidum sold in pharmacies
"Doctor Zheng, wait a minute. I have something here that I'd like you to take a look at." Li Wanqing stopped Doctor Zheng who was about to go back.
The medicinal herbs just now were used by Li Wanqing to test the waters. She mainly wanted to see what kind of character the doctors in this pharmacy had. Was they honest?
It seems pretty good now, at least I didn’t fool them.
"Oh? There are good things? Then what happened just now..." Doctor Zheng was halfway through his sentence when he realized that the other party was testing them.
Li Wanqing smiled, feeling embarrassed to interrupt, "Doctor Zheng, what price can you give me for this?"
Li Wanqing took out two red Ganoderma lucidum, as well as several common black Ganoderma lucidum and grass Ganoderma lucidum.
Doctor Zheng took a big step forward and held the red Ganoderma lucidum tightly, "This is a good thing, a truly good thing. Did you pick this from the deep mountains? You can't find red Ganoderma lucidum this big outside."
Li Wanqing nodded. "Doctor Zheng has a good eye. These flowers were indeed picked from the deep mountains and old forests. We only found two flowers of this quality within a radius of dozens of miles."
I also ask Dr. Zheng to give me a high price. My family risked their lives to collect this.”
"Don't worry, I will definitely negotiate a higher price for you. The price of this medicinal material is too high and I can't make the decision. Please wait, I will go and call our boss." After Doctor Zheng finished speaking, he was reluctant to put down the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and turned to go in.
Li Wanqing just stood there waiting with a smile on her face.
Now Gu Yan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that medicinal herbs would be so valuable.
He and his wife were looking for those grasses that looked like insects.
It is not easy to find these grasses. You need to bend down and look carefully because these Cordyceps grows on the grass with only a small head showing. If you don’t have good eyesight, it is really difficult to see.
But no matter how hard it is to find, it is easier than hunting, and at least it is safer.
Moreover, just this little bit of Cordyceps was sold for twelve taels of silver. You should know that he only sold two wild boars for seven or eight taels of silver.
There is also Schisandra chinensis, which is not found everywhere in the mountains, but there are a lot of them.
Although Schisandra chinensis is the cheapest among these medicinal herbs, it is available in large quantities.
This is much more than the silver he earned from hunting.
Gu Yan felt that his wife was really amazing and seemed to know everything.
He also felt that he was very lucky. How could it be such a coincidence that he wanted to go to Wild Boar Ridge that day and happened to save his wife.
The key point is that his wife agreed to marry him. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was because his wife had nowhere to go at the time that he got the upper hand.
Otherwise, considering his wife's appearance and talent, under normal circumstances, he would not even be able to see her, let alone marry her.
What should he do? He felt that he was not worthy of such a powerful wife, and he was afraid that his wife would leave him.
Just when Gu Yan was daydreaming, Doctor Zheng came out with the shopkeeper.
While beating him, Doctor Zheng said, "Boss, you must buy that red Ganoderma lucidum.
Isn't it just that the capital is looking for this medicine? I tell you, if you use this red Ganoderma lucidum, the efficacy of the medicine will definitely increase by 10%.
"I know, I know." The shopkeeper agreed impatiently. Doctor Zheng was good in every way except that he couldn't move his feet when he saw good medicinal herbs.
Before he got close, the shopkeeper also saw the red Ganoderma lucidum placed casually on the counter, and quickly took a few steps to pick up the red Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.
"Bighead, quickly bring me two brocade boxes. How can the red Ganoderma lucidum be left on the counter like this?" the shopkeeper said to the clerk.
The clerk lowered his head and quickly took out two brocade boxes from under the counter and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper carefully placed the red Ganoderma lucidum into the brocade box, then looked up and said to Li Wanqing and Gu Yan, especially to Gu Yan: "Hey, young man, I want this Ganoderma lucidum. How much do you want to sell it for?"
Gu Yan looked at Li Wanqing, meaning that Li Wanqing's words were final.
The shopkeeper is able to run the pharmacy so well, of course he has good vision.
When he saw that the young man didn't answer and looked at his young wife next to him, he knew that his wife was the head of the family.
But only by listening to your wife can you live a good life. Just like him, he also listens to his wife.
The shopkeeper has a lot of inner thoughts, but no one else knows about them.
"This is the owner of the medicine shop, right? You are an expert. How much do you think these two red Ganoderma lucidum are worth?" Li Wanqing said with a smile.
As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that this young wife was not easy to fool, so if he made the offer first, he would be in a passive position.
But it doesn’t matter. Their Dejitang is the largest pharmacy in the county, and this is just a small branch. The main store is in the capital.
Moreover, their pharmacy has always been the most fair, never defrauding customers, and always giving higher prices.
I believe the two people in front of me also asked around before coming here.
The shopkeeper twirled his goatee and said after a moment's hesitation, "I won't hide it from you two. This red Ganoderma is indeed precious and rare, and you have to go deep into the mountains and old forests to collect it.
I haven't seen red Ganoderma lucidum of such good quality in several years.
To be honest, the main store in the capital sent a message a few days ago, asking the branches to find the best red Ganoderma lucidum. I was worried about it.
Now, with these two red Ganoderma lucidum, I can complete my task.
"How about one red Ganoderma lucidum for one hundred taels of silver, and two for two hundred taels?" said the shopkeeper.
Li Wanqing didn't say anything after hearing this. The price was a bit low. The bottom price in her mind was one hundred and fifty taels per flower.
However, it is normal for the shopkeeper to lower the price. This is a remote mountainous area, and most mountain residents do not know much about medicinal herbs. When they dig up medicinal herbs and sell them, they just pay whatever the pharmacy says.
Moreover, for the mountain people, one hundred taels of silver is already a huge sum of money.
Seeing Li Wanqing remained silent, the shopkeeper began to feel uneasy. "What's going on? Are you dissatisfied with the price?"
Li Wanqing was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Two hundred taels each. Red Ganoderma is precious and rare. Both of my red Ganoderma are over fifty years old. Their medicinal properties are unmatched by ordinary Ganoderma. They're just like ginseng; they can save lives in critical moments."
This thing is cheap here, but if I take it to the capital, I believe it will be priceless at 500 taels each. If I wasn't short of money, I wouldn't have sold it."
The shopkeeper knew as soon as he heard that this was an expert. This red Ganoderma lucidum was indeed worth at least five hundred taels in the capital.
"Okay, let's do as you say, young lady. I'm Liu Huangbai, the owner of the drug store. Go to the accounting office and withdraw four hundred taels of silver to them." said the owner Liu.
After a while, the waiter brought over four hundred taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Liu took it and handed it to Li Wanqing: "Little girl, this is a four hundred taels silver note, please keep it. If you need any good herbs in the future, please come over, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
"Thank you, Manager Liu." Li Wanqing took the banknote and glanced at it. When she found that the amount was right, she wanted to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute, both of you..."
