After agreeing on the price, the man politely said, "Young comrade, my last name is Zhou. What's your name?"
Jiang Yanqing also replied politely, "Hello, Boss Zhou, my last name is Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Jiang."
Boss Zhou nodded and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, if you have such good medicinal materials in the future, please remember to take good care of Tonghetang."
Jiang Yanqing smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, that's too polite. We had a pleasant cooperation this time. Next time when I have something good, I will definitely think of you first."
A straightforward transaction like this would save him a lot of trouble, so Jiang Yanqing was very happy to deal with Boss Zhou.
Boss Zhou handed the ginseng in his hand back to Jiang Yanqing, asked her to wait outside for a while, and went into the house to get the money for Jiang Yanqing.
This approach further increased Jiang Yanqing's favorability towards the pharmacy. After waiting for a few minutes with the ginseng, Boss Zhou came out with a stack of money.
In front of Jiang Yanqing, Boss Zhou counted the money and stacked up a thick bundle of ten-yuan bills of varying ages and handed it to Jiang Yanqing.
Jiang Yanqing also handed the ginseng in her hand to Boss Zhou, took the money and casually put it in her schoolbag, "Boss Zhou, I'll be leaving first."
Although Boss Zhou focused most of his attention on the ginseng, he also noticed Jiang Yanqing's actions. This girl in her teens could casually take out a hundred-year-old ginseng that cost more than a thousand yuan, something some people had never seen in their entire lives, but it did not cause any waves in her.
A girl like this is definitely not as simple as she appears on the surface, and the family behind her is definitely not simple either.
No matter what, Boss Zhou is a businessman, so it's normal for him to be thoughtful. Although Jiang Yanqing doesn't know what he is thinking, as long as he has no ill will towards her, it doesn't matter.
Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Yanqing suddenly remembered that she had not yet paid for the medicinal materials. She took out her own money from her schoolbag, counted out ninety-five yuan, and handed it to the clerk behind the counter.
The clerk glanced at his boss, Zhou, who then asked, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, what is this?"
Jiang Yanqing explained, "Boss Zhou, I bought some medicinal herbs. The quantity is quite large. We agreed to have them delivered to your door this afternoon. I'll pay first."
Boss Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make sure the delivery guy packs the herbs carefully. Comrade Xiao Jiang, if you have anything else, you can talk to me. I'll do my best to help you."
Jiang Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "Boss Zhou, do you have any medicinal seeds for sale?"
"Yes, the villagers in the nearby villages will buy some seeds to plant at home, and then send them to our pharmacy to sell when the medicinal herbs are harvested."
Jiang Yanqing was delighted and quickly said, "Boss Zhou, I don't need ordinary medicinal herb seeds. I want the rare and hard-to-find medicinal herb seeds that I can cultivate myself. Do you have any connections to help me get them? I'm willing to pay any price."
This surprised Boss Zhou again. Medicinal herbs are harder to grow than grains and vegetables. Many people can't even grow ordinary ones. And this girl wants to grow rare and hard-to-find ones. Could it be that she wants to grow ginseng herself?
Jiang Yanqing seemed to have a clue. She pointed at the ginseng in Boss Zhou's hand and said, "Boss Zhou, I can also grow ginseng. It just takes time to make it age well."
This made Boss Zhou startled again. Where did this girl come from? She looked so delicate and tender, she didn't look like a herbal medicine farmer.
Although Boss Zhou was surprised, he was quite old after all, so he didn't show it on his face. He agreed, "Okay, I happen to know a few medicinal herb merchants in the south. I'll look for them later."
"Then I'll trouble you, Boss Zhou." Jiang Yanqing paid for the herbs, thanked Boss Zhou, and walked out of the pharmacy. Pan Pan had been waiting at the door. When he saw Jiang Yanqing come out, he followed her, wagging his tail.
It was almost time for dinner, so Jiang Yanqing found a dumpling restaurant and ordered a plate of dumplings stuffed with leeks and pork. After eating, she asked around for a while before she found out about a pottery workshop.
This pottery workshop is an ancestral workshop located in Wangjia Village, not far from the city. Many families in the village make pottery, but this one has the most exquisite craftsmanship in the entire village.
Jiang Yanqing thought that after she made her skin care cream, she needed something to store it. After thinking about all the utensils of this era, she found that porcelain was the most suitable.
About an hour later, Jiang Yanqing finally reached Wangjia Village. It was a very hot day. Although Jiang Yanqing had been avoiding the sun, he was still almost suffering from heatstroke. He drank a large glass of space well water before he recovered.
Wangjia Village is also a big village. When Jiang Yanqing walked to the entrance of the village, he happened to meet a few children playing under a big tree. He took out a few candies from his pocket and walked over.
"Children, if anyone can tell me where Wang Dashu lives, I'll give him some candy."
When the group of children heard the voices, they all turned around and looked at Jiang Yanqing. One of the oldest children looked at Jiang Yanqing and asked, "Sister, what are you going to Uncle Dashu's house for?"
Jiang Yanqing smiled and replied, "Sister, I'm here to buy some ceramics. Can you show me the way?"
There were probably a lot of people coming to Wangjia Village to buy ceramics, so the child didn't ask any more questions and just nodded, indicating that he was willing to lead the way.
Jiang Yanqing handed over the candy in her hand. The little boy in the lead gave one to everyone, then took Jiang Yanqing to the village.
