Upon hearing this, the clerk stood up immediately.
This is big business.
"Yes, yes, yes. The old mountain ginseng was just transported from Changbai Mountain. It is definitely genuine wild ginseng. As for the musk, boss, do you want it artificially or wild?"
A clerk quickly stood up and asked.
"What's the price of wild ones?"
Chen Xiaobao asked.
"Wild musk costs one thousand per gram. As for wild ginseng, if it is less than fifteen years old, it will cost ten thousand per year. If it is more than fifteen years old, it will cost fifteen thousand per year. That means fifteen years old is one hundred and fifty thousand. Those over fifteen years old are a little more expensive!"
The clerk asked with a smile, "Which one do you want, boss?"
Chen Xiaobao calculated in his mind that this price was the normal retail price, not the wholesale price.
He checked prices online before coming.
However, this was his first time here and he wasn't selling in bulk, so it was normal for them to quote him the retail price.
"I need wild ginseng that's fifteen years old and thirty grams of musk. I also need other things like Ganoderma lucidum, deer antlers, and tiger bones!" Chen Xiaobao thought about it and realized he was short of money.
He took the 300,000 yuan he got from Liu Jinshan. Otherwise, it would be better to get a hundred-year-old ginseng.
But as for hundred-year-old ginseng, not to mention it is rare, even if a Chinese medicine hall has it, it is impossible to get it without several million.
You can do as much as you can with the money you have.
"Okay, boss, please wait a moment, I'll go get the goods!"
The clerk agreed with a smile on his face, winked at another clerk, and turned to walk towards the warehouse behind the store.
After a few minutes, the clerk came over with two exquisite boxes.
"Boss, please check the goods. This is our store's top-quality wild musk. I guarantee you won't find anything better in Jiangcheng!" The clerk opened two boxes and said, "This is genuine wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, full-grown and 15-year-old. The reputation of our Chinese medicine hall is well-known throughout the entire medicinal materials market!"
Chen Xiaobao nodded and took a look at the musk. The quality of the musk was quite good and it was indeed wild. Although it was not top quality, the quality was quite good.
However, Chen Xiaobao looked at the ginseng and shook his head. "This is not wild ginseng, but forest ginseng. Moreover, it is not old enough, so it is not worth 150,000!"
As soon as Chen Xiaobao released the ghost doctor, he knew that the ginseng was not right. This stuff was grown on the mountain by some medicinal material merchants. It was about seven or eight years old, and its medicinal properties were far inferior to those of the fifteen-year-old wild ginseng.
The price of this thing is only about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan at most.
Goods worth ten or twenty thousand are sold for fifteen hundred thousand. This is a typical case of selling inferior goods as good ones and fooling laymen.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I took the wrong one. I'll change it for you right away!" The clerk's face changed slightly. He didn't expect to meet an expert. They are in the business of medicinal materials, and unless the customer is a regular customer, they will cheat him/her.
Anyway, most people can never tell the difference between fifteen-year-old wild ginseng and seven or eight-year-old forest ginseng.
After a while, the clerk brought out another ginseng.
This ginseng is quite good. Although the age is a little bit off, it is not much different, and it is indeed wild ginseng.
According to the current market conditions, it could be worth 150,000.
"Okay, this ginseng is pretty good. The total is 186,000, right? I'll give you 180,000, is that ok?" Chen Xiaobao nodded.
One wild ginseng, plus thirty grams of musk, and other medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum and deer antlers, the total price was 186,000. Chen Xiaobao did not bargain much and only asked for a little over 6,000.
The clerk hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.
"Boss, let me pack it for you!"
The clerk enthusiastically put the herbs into the bag, and another clerk came over from behind.
"Boss, how do you want to pay, bank transfer or WeChat?"
"cash!"
Chen Xiaobao lowered his head and took out a black plastic bag containing three hundred thousand yuan. He counted out eighteen stacks and placed them on the counter. The clerk swiftly took out a money detector and checked all the stacks of money.
"Boss, no problem. Take care. Come back next time if you need me!"
The clerk smiled and handed the bag of medicinal herbs to Chen Xiaobao.
"OK!"
Chen Xiaobao nodded, took the bag, his face suddenly darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Brother, this is not how you do business as a local merchant!"
Chen Xiaobao practiced the Hundred Ghosts and Gods Technique, and now his six senses are very sharp. As soon as he got the bag, he felt that the smell of the medicine was wrong, and the medicine in the bag was not the same as before.
In the past, mobile vendors often exchanged goods with their hands, but it was rarely done by merchants with fixed stalls in stores. However, in recent years, many merchants who sit in stores have also started to do this.
The fruits you choose will be of mixed quality when you get home.
I bought some spare ribs, but when I got home there were a lot of miscellaneous bones.
Similar situations abound.
But these guys dared to exchange medicinal materials worth hundreds of thousands. They are really bold.
There are so many precious medicinal materials, many of which can save lives. If the medicine is changed, the patients may lose their lives. These people are so evil.
"Boss, what are you saying? I don't understand what you mean!" The two shop assistants looked confused, as if they didn't know what Chen Xiaobao was talking about.
Chen Xiaobao didn't waste any time and directly opened the medicine bag. The Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler and other medicinal materials were correct, but musk and ginseng were not.
“Wild musk was replaced with synthetic ones!”
"I changed the wild ginseng to forest ginseng!"
"Give me back the musk and wild ginseng, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Chen Xiaobao said with a cold face.
"Kid, the money and goods have been paid, you are looking for trouble, right? Get out of here right now!" The two shop assistants grabbed steel pipes from under the counter and glared at Chen Xiaobao viciously.
They saw that Chen Xiaobao was dressed ordinary, like a country bumpkin, and was spending a large sum of money to buy expensive medicinal materials. They thought it would be useless to cheat this country nouveau riche with no background.
They don't take it seriously at all.
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
Chen Xiaobao had a cold face and kicked the counter hard, instantly breaking it into pieces. As expected, two boxes fell out from under the counter.
It contains wild musk and wild ginseng.
"You little bastard, you dare to smash our store, you want to die!"
"Come here!"
A clerk yelled, and three helpers who were loading goods outside the door immediately rushed in with wooden sticks. It was common for the Chinese medicine clinic to sell inferior products as good ones and to replace medicines with shoddy products.
People often come here to seek justice. These people quarrel and fight with each other, and they are all evil at heart.
"You'd better not ask for trouble!" Chen Xiaobao said lightly, not taking those people seriously at all.
But these people saw that Chen Xiaobao was young and dressed like a country boy, so they didn't take him seriously at all.
"You little bastard, do you know who owns this Chinese medicine shop? Put down the herbs and get out of here right away, or I'll break your legs!" a helper shouted angrily.
