Chapter 59: The Sky-high Price of Hundred-Year-Old Wild Ginseng
The faces of these two people did not look very good either, with dark circles under their eyes. However, looking at their bright eyes, it can be seen that they are still in good spirits.
As soon as she entered the room, Gu Jiajie quickly ran to the door, locked it from the inside, then rushed to the bed and took the bulging floral bag in his hand.
When Gu Jin came over, he handed her a flowered cloth bag filled with money and said excitedly, "All the meat from last night has been sold, and the money is here."
Taking the purse from his hand, Gu Jin walked to the bedside and glanced at the bed which had not yet been made.
At this glance, Gu Jiajie immediately understood what he meant. He walked over, rolled up the bedding on the bed, and piled it in the corner.
Gu Jin opened the flowered cloth bag, revealing the colorful bills inside. He turned his hands and poured all the money in the bag onto the bed.
The bed was covered with twice as many bills as yesterday.
"As usual, count the money one by one and settle the bill at the end."
The other three had no objection.
This time the four of them counted the money very quickly.
Gu Jin took out the banknotes they brought and said, "Last night we sold a total of 706.50 yuan."
She told the three of them the total amount of revenue from last night, then grabbed a handful of big unity bills and counted out twelve, divided them into three parts, and gave them to her cousin, Liu Pingyuan, and Wu Zhiren respectively.
As for the remaining money on the bed, she put it all into the flowered cloth bag.
Liu Pingyuan's expression was a little calmer, but Wu Zhiren stared at the four big unity cards in front of him with his eyes wide open and a little silly.
He actually earned 40 yuan in a trip to the county town last night, which is more than the average worker's monthly salary.
Even though Jiajie told him that he had made 40 yuan with Liu Pingyuan in one night, when he really put the money in front of him, it was still very shocking and felt a little unreal.
He is not like Liu Pingyuan. He and his brother depend on each other for survival. His sister married a worker in the town. The family has no worries about food and drink, and his brother-in-law's family often "helps" him.
He is not like Gu Jiajie, whose family is not rich but has enough food and drink.
Wu Zhiren was a gangster in the village with a very bad reputation, but he didn't do anything sneaky. He was usually fierce so as not to be bullied by others.
His family was so poor that thieves were too lazy to patronize them. His house was bare and he had nothing. It was simply a horrible sight.
The forty dollars in front of him was the most money he had ever seen in his life.
No, the seven hundred yuan that just covered the bed was the most money he had ever seen in his life.
Gu Jin put all the money into the flowered cloth bag and asked Gu Jiajie beside him: "Brother Jie, have you found out the price of ginseng?"
"I found out that few people buy this stuff, but there are still people who buy it. For example, the ginseng grown in the east is only eight or nine yuan per catty. The price of wild ginseng depends on its quality. The price of wet wild ginseng is at least fifty yuan per catty. If it is dry, the price will be doubled depending on the age. If there is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, the price will be sky-high, but there are too few hundred-year-old ginseng now."
"Are you sure?" Gu Jinxiu frowned slightly.
Gu Jiajie put the money that belonged to him into his pocket and said very seriously: "I asked very clearly, the prices are about the same, and this is the price in the Puppet Market, which should be higher than outside."
He glanced at Wu Zhiren standing beside him, and saw that he looked so moved that he was about to cry, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Although he was very excited when he went to Kui City to get the money for the first time.
