As Manager Qin spoke, he became quite excited.
Nine hundred taels of silver! If Renjitang's pharmacies weren't spread across several places, allowing them to transport the purchased medicinal herbs to their main store in Jinling, such a large batch of herbs would have been impossible for just one store to handle.
Not to mention taking out more than nine hundred taels of silver at once.
He looked at Ding Heli, who had a calm expression, and smiled, "Heli, did you calculate the total price before sending it over?"
He only had a thousand taels of silver on hand. Anything more than that would either have to be owed or returned for the next time. Ding Heli didn't seem particularly excited about the nine hundred taels of silver, which must have been appraised at home and delivered over there.
Ding Heli cupped his hands in humility and said modestly, "Not at all, it was just a coincidence."
He had simply seen far more expensive things in the past, which was why he wasn't too excited.
After all, a ginseng that is over a hundred years old would cost at least a thousand taels of silver. Now, dozens of them have been working for more than a month and have earned less than a thousand taels, which is really quite ordinary.
However, ginseng is a rare commodity, even after a hundred years, so the income of the herbal medicine shop is substantial!
It's only been a month, and the people in the workshop aren't very skilled yet, and the quantity of medicinal herbs isn't very sufficient, meaning there's still a lot of room for improvement.
It's not impossible for the herbal medicine shop to earn ten thousand taels a month in the future...
Ding Heli carefully wrapped up the more than nine hundred taels of silver and hid it separately from Fan Jin. He only carried the fourteen or so taels of silver that the village man had sold kudzu root with him. Manager Qin and the medicine boy went to work in the front shop, while the group waited in the open space in the backyard of the medicine shop.
After a while, Hu Wenhua arrived with a large group of men.
When a heavy bag of loose silver and copper coins was handed over, the men were overjoyed.
Li Wen's hands were trembling as he took the bag.
His family raised the most rabbits, grew potatoes, and planted the most kudzu in the village. They grew potatoes to fill their stomachs, raised rabbits to earn money, and never expected that they could also earn money from planting kudzu, which they originally intended to grow for food!
There were more than 20 families in the village that planted kudzu, so most of the men present brought kudzu to sell. However, there were also seven or eight families that did not plant it in the first batch, and they looked on with envy.
I was filled with remorse!
Why didn't they have the guts back then? Otherwise, wouldn't they also have a share of the profits now?
Next time Fan Jin's family has something, they must follow along and absolutely cannot fall behind.
The nearly fifteen taels of silver were divided among more than twenty families. Some received more than one tael, while others received several hundred coins. The richest were very satisfied, and the poorest were also satisfied looking at the other seven or eight men who had not received a single coin.
With the money, the group first went to buy cloth. They couldn't afford to buy fine cotton cloth, and only a few families bought coarse cotton cloth. Most of them bought linen cloth.
Linen clothes are rough and stiff, not as comfortable as cotton, but they are durable and wear-resistant! Most importantly, they are cheap.
One coarse cloth garment can make two sets of linen, which is most suitable for a large family. After all, they have just filled their stomachs, and it is extremely difficult for them to have linen to make new clothes.
After buying the fabric, I also picked up some odds and ends along the way, and finally bought lime.
The lime isn't in the city; it's on the way back. You need to go into a side road to buy it, and then return to the main road to go back to the village.
It's like taking a detour.
The men quickened their pace as they returned to the main road after buying the lime.
The vehicle was loaded with goods; all they wanted was to get to the village quickly and go home to see their families.
Hu Wenhua was originally walking at the front, but after buying the lime, he gradually fell to the back of the group.
