Hearing this, 께괗 immediately rummaged through the basket beside Jian Xiu and said, "Hiss, these are Rufu Mi, right? Collect them, they look pretty good."
After hearing what 께괗 said, Jian Xiu immediately became more fond of Renhetang.
Then he took down the basket on his back, pointed at the musk deer inside and asked, "What about this one? Do you accept it?"
Following the direction of Jian Xiu's finger, 께괗 could tell at a glance that it was a musk deer.
His eyes suddenly widened larger than copper bells.
"Madam, wait a moment. I'll call our shopkeeper Qin over."
After saying that, he rushed to the backyard.
In a herbal medicine shop like Renhetang, ordinary herbal medicine shop owners usually won't make a move.
Only for those special things, when I can't make the decision, I will ask the shopkeeper to make the decision.
After a while, 께괗 rushed to Jian Xiu again and said with a smile:
"Madam, our shopkeeper asks you to take these mulberries and deer to the backyard to negotiate. He is busy now, so please don't mind."
"No, no."
Are you kidding? This plantain can be considered her most stable source of income, so how could she dare to mind?
As for the musk deer, it can be said that it was just a byproduct and it probably only happened once.
In the backyard.
When Jian Xiu entered, all she saw were medicinal herbs.
There were several layers of wooden shelves all filled with medicinal herbs drying in the sun, and a middle-aged man in his forties was constantly turning over the herbs.
When he saw Jian Xiu coming in, he immediately stopped what he was doing and walked towards her with a smile.
Just by looking at the shopkeeper's face, Jian Xiu had a good impression of him, at least he was not the kind of harsh person.
As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the mind. Ever since the time travel happened to her, Jian Xiu has begun to believe in ghosts and gods.
"Madam 께, are you here to sell plantain and musk deer?"
"Yes, Manager Qin, please take a look first to see if you are satisfied." Jian Xiu said with a smile.
Just now in the front yard, she noticed that the man mentioned that the shopkeeper's surname was Qin.
So at this time, she naturally had to call him Manager Qin. This way she could leave a good impression on him, right?
Sure enough, after hearing Jian Xiu's name, Shopkeeper Qin laughed even more happily.
He lowered his head and plucked the plantain in Jian Xiu's basket some more, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Your plantain is really good. It is clean and has no weeds. Most importantly, it is well dried. How about this? I will increase the price of your plantain by one pound today. It will be sixteen pounds per pound. If the quality is the same in the future, how about keeping the same price as today?"
"Okay, Manager Qin is indeed a generous person." Jian Xiu said excitedly.
She originally thought that the owner of Renhetang would try to lower the price for her.
I didn't expect that I would meet such a conscientious shopkeeper.
It seems that I am lucky today.
Next is to weigh yourself.
Although there are several handfuls of plantain here, they are vegetables after all, and although they look numerous, they do not weigh them down.
"Madam, come here and take a look. There are a total of 140 catties here. If one catty is 16, that means one tael of silver is 984 catties. Do you think this is correct?"
"Yes, yes, that's all."
"As for this musk deer, I wonder how Madam ꅈ plans to sell it?" Shopkeeper Qin asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Jian Xiu also fell silent.
Judging from the look on Shopkeeper Qin's face, it was clear that musk deer were an extremely precious commodity in a herbal medicine shop like Renhetang.
If this is true, then this musk deer should be very valuable.
But since we might have a long-term cooperation in the future, it would be difficult for me to ask for too high a price.
After thinking it over again, Jian Xiu threw the question to Shopkeeper Qin again.
"I think Shopkeeper Qin is also a generous person. Why don't you give me a price first? If you are satisfied, the musk deer will naturally be yours."
The whole body of musk deer is a treasure, and Jian Xiu is very clear about this.
Before coming here, Zhang Zixuan had reminded himself many times.
But looking at the appearance of Shopkeeper Qin, he seems to be an honest person.
Sure enough, just as this thought came to my mind, I heard the voice of Shopkeeper Qin.
"The most valuable thing on this deer is the musk. Seeing that this deer is quite big, the musk should be worth a lot too, probably eight to ten taels. I, Qin Xuancheng, am a businessman, and I am not a black-hearted merchant. I will offer the highest price of ten taels. The deer skin has been disfigured due to the wound, so I can also offer five taels. Then there are the bones and meat. For these, I will sell them at ten taels per catty. What do you think, Madam?"
Hearing what Shopkeeper Qin said, Jian Xiu was completely shocked.
According to what he said, this musk deer could be sold for more than ten taels, right?
When she came, she thought she could sell it for five or six taels, but she didn't expect that she could sell it for more than ten taels. This was really a pleasant surprise.
"What's wrong? Madam Xiao is not satisfied?" Seeing that Jian Xiu didn't open the door, Shopkeeper Wu became anxious again.
It was rare to find such good stuff in this herbal medicine shop, and he really didn't want to miss it.
Especially musk, which is an extremely precious medicinal material and is hard to come by.
After hearing what Shopkeeper Qin said, Jian Xiu finally responded.
However, before she opened her mouth, Shopkeeper Qin opened his mouth again, "How about this, I'll add another 500 yuan to your leather? Any more and it will be unbearable."
"Okay, I'll listen to Shopkeeper Qin."
Then I weighed it again. After weighing it, I found that the deer weighed 90 catties. If 10 catties were used, the total weight would be 2760 yuan.
Adding the musk and skin from before, this musk deer was sold for about fifteen taels.
Even after receiving the money, Jian Xiu still felt confused.
She never dreamed that this musk deer would be so valuable.
It seems that Dongkong also needs to go to the mountains more often.
After collecting the money, Jian Xiu couldn't help but go in and take a few more looks when passing by "Moxiangju".
Only after going in and seeing the things inside did Jian Xiu truly understand why a normal family could not afford to support a scholar.
Even an ordinary piece of rice paper would cost four hundred dollars.
One knife is one hundred pieces, and four hundred pieces for an ordinary family is a huge amount.
If you think about it this way, ordinary families really cannot afford to support a scholar.
However, these are necessary for going to college, so Jian Xiu gritted her teeth and bought some.
"How about these four treasures?"
"Madam, the one you like is more expensive, it costs more than five taels of silver. There is also one over there, I wonder if it suits you?"
