Things in the capital are more expensive than in the town, which is also within Lin Jiuyue's expectations. Lin Jiuyue did not think there was anything wrong.
"Boss, what's the purchase price here? Can you tell me?"
The shopkeeper was also an honest man. Seeing that Lin Jiuyue and her brother did not leave after hearing about this, he spoke again.
"I won't lie to you. Your ginseng is indeed top-quality ginseng. However, our pharmacy can't afford the price. Even if we did, we wouldn't be able to buy so much."
The shopkeeper did not ask Lin Jiuyue and her brother where the ginseng came from.
"This ginseng is rare. If you want to sell it at a high price, you can go to the medicine shop in the capital and ask. You might be able to get a higher price."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
If I had known that the pharmacy in town couldn’t afford so much ginseng, I wouldn’t have come here.
"Boss, to be honest, my sister and I are selling ginseng for others, so we don't know the specific price. We're afraid we'll be ripped off when we get to the capital..."
The owner of the drugstore looked at Lin Jiuyue and her brother.
One of these two people is a little girl and the other is a teenager. It is really possible that they were cheated.
"Little girl, each of your ginseng plants must be several decades old. Not only are the roots intact, but the processing method is also quite good, preserving all the medicinal properties of the ginseng."
The shopkeeper paused after he finished speaking and continued.
"A ginseng plant would cost at least a hundred taels of silver. If we go to the capital, we can't sell it for less than a hundred taels of silver."
These two people are definitely not ordinary people as they can produce so much ginseng at once.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
He expected a ginseng plant to cost over a hundred taels of silver, but the shopkeeper's reaction was beyond his expectations.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. With your words, my sister and I are no longer afraid of being cheated."
The drugstore owner waved his hand.
"You're welcome, young lady. You can produce so much ginseng at once. I believe there must be someone in your family who understands pharmacology. I can't fool you even if I want to."
Lin Jiuyue smiled awkwardly.
It was Bubao who usually took care of the ginseng, dug it, and even took care of drying it. If there was anyone in the family who understood pharmacology, it was Bubao.
But Bubble is just a space manager, he only knows how to plant, harvest and dry. As for the price, Bubble has no idea.
"Haha, no matter what, I still want to thank the shopkeeper for telling the truth."
Lin Jiuyue didn't explain much. After saying this, she prepared to put the ginseng away.
The shopkeeper looked at the ginseng in Lin Jiuyue's bag with some envy, opened his mouth, but finally couldn't hold back.
"Miss, you have so many ginsengs. Can you sell me one?"
The shopkeeper couldn't afford to buy all the ginseng, but buying one was not a problem.
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, her hand that was collecting the ginseng stopped.
"Of course, I'll sell this ginseng to anyone anyway."
I'm selling for money, so I'll sell to whoever pays. It's a fair trade.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper grinned with joy.
"Haha, thank you very much, young lady."
Lin Jiuyue put the bundle in front of the shopkeeper again.
"Shopkeeper, they're all here, take your pick."
The shop owner saw Lin Jiuyue's rude behavior and pulled the bundle in front of him with some heartache. He looked at the ginseng as if he were looking at some treasure.
"Girl, I'm not saying anything harsh on you, but look at you. You didn't even put the ginseng in a wooden box. You just put it in your bag. If it gets damaged, it won't be worth much anymore."
Whether ginseng can be sold at a good price depends not only on its quality and age, but also on whether it has been properly processed and whether its roots are intact.
This girl's ginseng was perfect in every way, except that her brother and sister were too rough and didn't appreciate the value of the ginseng at all.
"Okay, since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels of silver for the ginseng."
The shopkeeper said this, fearing that Lin Jiuyue and her brother would think the price he offered was too low.
"Miss, you know my shop can't afford to buy so much ginseng, and the price is not high. If you don't want to sell it, there's nothing..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Lin Jiuyue interrupted him.
"Shopkeeper, one hundred and fifty taels, deal."
Shopkeeper: ...
I have never met such a talkative guest.
"Miss, why don't you think about it again? If you take this ginseng to the capital, it will definitely be worth more than this."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"The shopkeeper also said that it was taken to the capital. Aren't we not in the capital now?"
Every place has its own price. Besides, the shopkeeper was a very honest man and even told me the approximate price of ginseng.
Just for this reason, it is not impossible for me to sell him a ginseng at a low price.
The most important thing is that there are still a lot of ginseng in his space, so he doesn’t need this one at all!
After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice.
"I didn't expect that the girl is such a sentimental person. If that's the case, then I, Bai, will not be polite to her."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and took out one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Looking at the silver on the plate, Lin Jiuyue's mouth twitched.
The shopkeeper said he couldn't afford so much ginseng, and it seems he was not lying.
Look, to buy a ginseng plant, the shopkeeper actually has to use these small change to make up the total! I wonder if he can make any money running this medicine shop!
"Uh, don't be offended, young lady, I'm a little short of money..."
In order to avoid embarrassing the shopkeeper, Lin Jiuyue pretended nothing happened and put away all the silver.
"No surprise there, but I'm a little curious, doesn't Shopkeeper Bai make any money running a pharmacy like this?"
Shopkeeper Bai waved his hand.
"Miss, you're kidding. If I don't make money, how will I eat and drink? I definitely make money, but it's just hard-earned money."
Lin Jiuyue was a little confused.
In the 21st century, hospitals are definitely one of the most profitable industries. It should have been the same in ancient times, so why is it that Shopkeeper Bai only earns a hard-earned living?
"The most important thing about studying medicine is to cure illnesses and save lives. I don't care about making a lot of money, I just want to have enough to eat and drink."
"Manager Bai, this is the true way of saving the world. It's worthy of admiration."
Lin Jiuyue flattered him and then decisively put the money away.
Shopkeeper Bai doesn't want to make that much money, but I do! Besides, selling my ginseng for 150 taels is already a bargain.
It's because the shopkeeper is a real person, otherwise I wouldn't sell it to him!
