Chapter 40: Booing
"I've been setting up a stall here for so many years, I can take up as much space as I want. If you think it's inappropriate, just move somewhere else and don't occupy my territory!"
Qiao Jin calmed down and said, "I remember that if you put anything here, you will be driven away by the city management staff, right? How come it became your exclusive place in the end?"
Hearing the word "urban management", the eldest brother's face immediately changed a little: "What do you want? Do you still want to complain?"
"It's not easy for everyone. We just want to make money to support our families. Before the management staff arrives, let's get along well and do our own business. Don't affect each other. If you don't let me set up, then no one should set up."
Qiao Jin said this in a firm tone.
Being short is a common practice among people, but this time she was determined not to swallow her anger and suffer in silence any longer.
The eldest brother almost burst into tears when he heard this: "Little girl, you are really unforgiving! Let me see what you are selling!"
After saying that, Qiao Jin threw back the cabbage he had just thrown over, and then took out two high-quality wild Ganoderma lucidum from his sack.
She doesn’t have a formal shop or counter, so she can only put her products on sacks for display to everyone.
Although the big brother had never seen such high-end goods, he knew it was a good thing at first glance!
He couldn't help but take a few more glances and asked curiously, "Where did you get these Ganoderma? How can ordinary people afford such goods?"
Qiao Jin confessed: "I picked these two fourth-grade wild Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains."
This market mainly sells fruits and vegetables, and on weekdays they can only sell them on the roadside during the morning hours. If they see law enforcement officers from afar, they have to evacuate quickly.
For this big brother, seeing such valuable goods in such a simple environment was something he had never seen before. It was as novel as seeing a ghost!
But he still questioned with half-belief: "Little girl, even if this is real wild Ganoderma lucidum, do you think anyone would believe it and be willing to buy it here?"
Soon after he finished speaking, an auntie came over with a basket. After scanning the stalls, she finally stopped at Qiao Jin and asked, "Little boy, how much is this carrot?"
After hearing this, the old man who had been laughing secretly on the side suddenly burst into laughter and covered his mouth with his hands to hide his laughter!
However, in the face of misunderstanding, Qiao Jin remained calm and explained to the other party: "Auntie, this is not a radish, but a fourth-grade wild Ganoderma lucidum."
The old lady looked at it carefully for a while and replied, "Oh... So it's the wild spirit you were talking about... Is it real? This is a good thing, how come it's being sold on the street? Could it be fake?"
Qiao Jin smiled and patiently emphasized the information again: "It is indeed wild and picked from the mountains. Please believe its authenticity."
After hearing the explanation, the old lady seemed to be interested and was unwilling to leave immediately.
Because the old man in her family usually has the habit of collecting this kind of precious medicinal materials, and sometimes he would give them to relatives, friends or work partners to seek more opportunities.
I thought that if I could buy one and bring it back to present to my superior, maybe I could also generate some considerable income for my family!
So he asked, "Then name a price. How much do you want to sell it to me?"
"One thousand five hundred each."
“Puff!”
The people around were amused.
Hearing the man's loud words, he laughed even more wildly, almost clapping his hands on his thighs, and his body almost leaned backwards.
The old lady's expression changed immediately.
One thousand five hundred dollars?!
Isn’t this just robbing money!
"Little girl, you are so shameless to ask such a price. Look at the appearance of this Ganoderma lucidum. It is not worth that much money at all!"
Qiao Jin knew very well the value of Ganoderma lucidum and did not care about the doubts of those who did not know the business.
The big brother next to him poked Qiao Jin's arm and said, "Little girl, you'd better pack up and go home. Your price is so high that it makes people want to laugh. People here are all buying vegetables, so take your things and go!"
Qiao Jin also realized that this was indeed not a suitable place to sell her treasure, so she asked her eldest brother sincerely: "Where can I find someone who is willing to pay a high price or knows how to appreciate it?"
The eldest brother laughed and said, "Hey, girl, you don't want to be taken advantage of by anyone with this thing. Pack it back quickly and stop making trouble."
The old lady took another look at it, and then she recalled the pot of Lingzhi at home that was used as a decoration. She tried to test him out, "How about 500 each? If it's cheaper, I'll take them all!"
The eldest brother who was laughing just now suddenly stopped laughing.
He can only earn twenty or so yuan a day by setting up a stall here, but this lady asked for five hundred?
Qiao Jin smiled and said, "Auntie, it seems that you are a connoisseur of goods, but my Ganoderma lucidum is different from the mass-produced ones on the market. Fifteen thousand is the lowest price."
The aunt blushed and said, "If you don't want to sell it to me, forget about selling it today!"
"Then I'd rather keep it for my own use. Even if I can't convert it into cash, it's still very effective as a medicine."
Qiao Jin packed up the Ganoderma lucidum and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the aunt was a little unwilling and bit her lip: How come this girl is not angry at all!
After a pause, she shouted again: "How about seven hundred?!"
However, Qiao Jin did not stop, but continued to move forward.
The man asked the woman next to him doubtfully, "Do you really think that is a treasure?"
"Who knows? I'm giving her a face by giving her a price!"
The aunt muttered angrily.
Qiao Jin looked down at the precious medicinal materials in the bag, and thinking of the upcoming craze, he decided to find a buyer who truly understood it as soon as possible.
At this time, a warm voice sounded: "Is it Qiao Jin?"
Qiao Jin looked up and saw that it was Lin Qiaosheng and others who came to greet her, "It's you, Lin Qiaosheng."
He walked up to her, looked at her with concern and said, "Are you discharged from the hospital? I didn't even see you when I went to the hospital today."
"I'm fine now."
He looked at the contents of the bag and asked curiously, "So what are you going to do?"
Lin Qiaosheng's eyes were gentle but contained some emotion that was difficult to conceal.
"I plan to sell some wild Ganoderma lucidum of the fourth grade."
The other party nodded thoughtfully, "Oh... not sold out yet?"
The atmosphere became a little awkward, which was indeed uncomfortable.
The friend next to him joked, "Lin Qiaosheng, are you going to pay for love? Well, forget it. It's not easy for a girl to run a business. Just help her. It's not easy to be exposed to the sun in the middle of the day!"
After the friend's joke, the people around burst into laughter.
Lin Qiaosheng was pushed around by everyone, his face turned red. He scratched his head, walked slowly to Qiao Jin and asked, "Qiao Jin, how much do you want for this wild Ganoderma lucidum?"
Qiao Jin paused for a moment. She didn't want to cause any more misunderstandings, so she said softly, "Actually, I don't plan to continue selling it."
