Chapter 27 Selling Ginseng



The little medicine boy handed him the silver money, including five silver notes of one hundred taels and a silver ingot of forty taels. Lin Wanwan took it and put it away, then took out a portion of braised pork from his backpack and gave it to Shopkeeper Wu, and talked to him about the braised pork.

Shopkeeper Wu was already attracted by the stewed food, so he didn't care about the pig's offal. He waved his hands repeatedly, "From what you said, it's really a good thing. Let me study it. I didn't expect that pig's offal has pharmacological effects. I have a good friend who has studied medicinal food for many years. I will tell him about it later."

"Okay, Manager Wu, if you like it, I'll bring you some every night."

"No, no, I'll ask my little boy to buy it for you. It's ridiculous to always eat for free!"

"I am happy to give it to you, just eat it! It's not much money. You are so kind to us, so it's nothing to treat you to a snack. Okay, it's settled, Shopkeeper Wu, I'm leaving first!"

Lin Wanwan didn't care what Shopkeeper Wu said behind her. She waved her hand and trotted back to the place where the livestock was sold. Seeing that the old man was still waiting, she hurried forward.

"Hoo... cough cough, old man, I'm back!"

She put down the backpack, took out an eighty-year-old ginseng and handed it to him.

"It's not sold in the pharmacy yet, so I brought it back. You can take it home and use it first, old man! Don't worry, it's from the 1980s, guaranteed to be genuine!"

The old man took it and carefully examined the ginseng in his hand. It was indeed better in quality and size than the one he had seen before. He said excitedly, "Girl...are you really going to give it to me? This ginseng of yours is worth more than thirty taels!"

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Yes, we can sell a lot, but if we can use it where it is most needed, it will be more valuable, right?"

The old man's eyes suddenly turned red, and he bent his knees and was about to kneel down to her. Lin Wanwan was quick to support him immediately.

"Uncle, what are you doing? You are embarrassing me!"

"Little girl, you are so kind. I thank you on behalf of this old woman. You are our benefactor!"

"Uncle, you should take Auntie to see a doctor as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay, I'll bring the donkeys over to you. Don't worry, I'll make them follow you obediently."

The old man led the two donkeys over and put the ropes into Lin Wanwan's hands. Lin Wanwan led them for a few steps and found that they actually followed her closely!

The old man finally couldn't hold back his tears, he went up to touch them, choking and saying: "You two! Really, you can't be picky, this little girl is kind-hearted, you two should be good to each other in the future!"

The two donkeys seemed to understand and brayed twice in response.

The old man covered his eyes, waved at Lin Wanwan, and left quickly.

Lin Wanwan held them and stood there, waiting until the old man disappeared before turning around.

She walked into the market, saw someone selling bicycle frames, and went up to ask.

"Anyone? How much for this frame?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came out and looked at Lin Wanwan. Seeing that she was leading two donkeys, he replied, "This one is ten taels, and it's a little smaller. There's a bigger one next to it, which is made of solid materials and is light in workmanship. It's more suitable for a donkey cart, but it's more expensive, eighteen taels."

Lin Wanwan walked over and lifted it. It was indeed quite light and she could lift it. Judging from the size of the cart, it should be no smaller than the one pulled by an ox cart.

"Well, it's OK, uncle, can it be cheaper?"

He said gruffly, "Little girl, you can go ask around. My prices are the best. We never ask for more. Moreover, the materials are of high quality and the workmanship is excellent. Even if your donkey dies, my cart frame will not break. Just look at the wheels. They are big and strong. Even a donkey can pull a full cart. If you don't believe me, try putting them on."

Lin Wanwan didn't hesitate and directly put the cart frame on the male donkey. She sat on it and drove the donkey for a walk. Seeing that the donkey didn't exert any effort at all, it should have no problem pulling five or six people.

I jumped down and continued to bargain with him for the price, and finally succeeded in getting it for sixteen taels.

She happily drove the donkey cart to the butcher's shop and saw Wang Shuigen talking to a few people in the shop.

"Uncle Wang! Are all your family members here?"

Wang Shuigen brought her into the butcher shop and introduced them to Lin Wanwan: "This is my eldest brother, and this is my uncle and grandfather. We are just waiting for you to put your fingerprints on them!"

"Hello uncles and grandpas! My name is Lin Wan, and I'm in the pig offal business with you!"

"Little girl, come here. Shui Gen has already told us everything. We have no objection. Let's sign and seal our names. I'll go to the government office with you later."

Although she said so, Lin Wanwan still explained it again to them, emphasizing the importance of not making random prices.

Seeing that there were no problems, he signed and sealed their names and took them directly to the county government to find Liu Zhubu.

Liu Zhubu did not ask any further questions and directly stamped the official seal and prepared the case.

Lin Wanwan took the opportunity to ask him about making copper pots. Liu Zhubu asked her how big and heavy the pots were and how many she needed to make. She thought about it and decided on eight copper pots. Liu Zhubu wrote her a note, stamped it, and handed it to her.

Lin Wanwan put the note away and took out a portion of braised food for Liu Zhubu to try.

Liu Zhubu opened it, smelled it, and happily accepted it.
