Jiang Xiaotiao was already confused. He had only been to the county when he was little, but he had never been to the city. But for no apparent reason, Xu Shang took him on a bus to a prefecture-level city.
But now that we are already in the car, how do adults put it... it's like being on a pirate ship.
He always felt that he had been fooled by two meat buns.
Xu Shang and Jiang Xiaotiao explained, "It's more profitable to sell medicine in the city. After I sell the medicine, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Jiang Xiaotiao had a complicated expression and didn't say anything.
After a long journey of more than an hour, the two finally arrived in the city. As soon as they got off the car, Jiang Xiaotiao hugged the trash can and vomited. Then he looked at Xu Shang with resentment, and then looked at the buildings in the strange city in front of him.
Xu Shang also felt deeply guilty about this. After all, he had never thought of bringing Jiang Xiaotiao along at the beginning.
In order to make it up to Jiang Xiaotiao, Xu Shang spent a huge sum of two dollars and fifty cents to buy Jiang Xiaotiao a bottle of ice cola. Carbonated drinks can help relieve the nausea and vomiting symptoms of motion sickness.
However, this should be consumed after getting off the bus. If you are carsick while riding, it will only make you feel more nauseous.
Jiang Xiaotiao felt much better after drinking two sips of Coke. He carefully screwed the bottle cap and put the Coke in the backpack. Of course, he had drunk Coke before. There were big bottles for sale in the mountains, but there was no small bottle of Coca-Cola like this. He had only drunk carbonated water in a 50-cent soft bottle and Very Coke at 1.5 yuan a bottle.
At this time, the two people carrying baskets on their backs seemed out of place in this city.
But Xu Shang remained calm. He took Jiang Xiaotiao on the bus and rushed to their destination with ease.
"Brother Xu Shang, where are we going?"
"Go sell medicine!"
“Why do you have to go so far to sell medicine?”
Jiang Xiaotiao simply couldn't understand it. The round trip fare for the few kilograms of windproof in his backpack was 20 yuan, even if he paid half price. In addition, there was also the tractor fare and the bus fare...
He thought about it and was afraid that he might not even be able to earn back the fare for this trip.
Xu Shang told Jiang Xiaotiao not to panic. To be honest, Xu Shang himself was not sure, but he believed that his judgment as a reborn person would not be wrong.
Soon, the bus stopped at the station Xu Shang wanted. After getting off the bus and walking a few hundred meters along the station, a Chinese medicine street appeared in front of Xu Shang.
This is the destination of Xu Shang’s trip, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Street in Jing City, which is also one of the largest medicinal materials trading markets in this prefecture-level city.
Compared with bulk transactions in the market, Xu Shang decided to take the initiative and go to various Chinese medicine stores to actively promote his own medicinal materials.
Of course, there are some who want to fool laymen and offer low prices because Xu Shang is young. However, because Xu Shang has a system that knows the current market average price, he often tells the price right away, making the other party very embarrassed.
Many bosses became angry and drove the two away, saying they would not accept bulk goods or small quantities.
However, hard work pays off. Finally, in a store, the drugstore owner, who was over fifty years old, pinched his goatee and looked at Xu Shang and Jiang Xiaotiao in surprise. He said he wanted to take a look at the medicinal materials first.
After checking the herbs, the boss's eyes lit up, and he asked Xu Shang, "Where did you get these herbs?"
"These are all picked by many people in our mountains. I guarantee that the quality is the best! They are all wild!"
The boss nodded secretly. They were indeed all wild and of very good quality. Especially the medicinal materials processed by Xu Shang. His technique was very professional and experienced. Only a master with more than ten years of experience could have such skills. They could be used directly.
The boss then asked: "How much do you want to sell it for?"
Xu Shang was delighted when he saw this, but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "The market price of leeches is 190 yuan per kilogram, the market price of scorpions is 400 yuan per kilogram, the small centipedes are 1 yuan each, the big ones are 1.2 yuan, and the extra big ones are 1.5 to 2 yuan; the dried ones are 120 yuan per kilogram... I just want to pay the market price!"
The drugstore owner once again looked at Xu Shang in surprise. At first he thought Xu Shang was just a mountain visitor who came to his place to try his luck, but he didn't expect that Xu Shang was so familiar with the market.
However, given the quality of these medicinal materials, even if you buy them at market price, you can still make a lot of money.
The pharmacy owner thought for a moment and made a decision: "How about this, I will add 10% to the market price and I will take all the herbs you have."
As he spoke, he arranged for the young apprentices in the store to help check and receive the goods.
Jiang Xiaotiao felt a little dizzy when he heard the price of hundreds of dollars. For a moment, he couldn't even figure out whether the medicinal materials were really worth that price or if this was just some special saying.
He also did not forget his windshield and quickly handed it over.
The pharmacy owner took it and took a look. He found that the quality of Jiang Xiaotiao's medicinal materials could not be compared with Xu Shang's. The dirt on the windproof cloth was not cleaned very cleanly, nor was it dried, and some edges and corners were not trimmed.
But it can be seen that this is indeed natural wild fangfeng, and the quality of such medicinal materials is by no means comparable to cultivated medicinal materials.
He thought for a moment and said, "This windproof is not a dry commodity, but it is a bit dry. So, I will buy it at the price of 50 yuan per kilogram."
As he spoke, the apprentice next to him weighed it and found it was 3.8 kilograms in total. Upon seeing this, the pharmacy owner took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Jiang Xiaotiao.
Although the fifth set of RMB was issued in 1999, it was the first time for Jiang Xiaotiao, who had always lived in the village, to see the hundred-yuan bill with a bright red old man's head. He rubbed his trousers and found it hard to believe that the money in his hand was real.
This must be a lie...two hundred dollars!
Jiang Xiaotiao thought that the herbs he collected could be sold for a lot of money, at least 6 yuan per kilogram, which could be sold for dozens of dollars in the town, but he really had never thought about selling hundred-yuan bills. For a moment, his breathing became rapid and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
Xu Shang remained calm, and counted his profits with the drugstore owner.
"2.6 kg of dried leeches, 5.3 kg of wild fangfeng, 0.9 kg of dried scorpions, 146 large centipedes, 283 small centipedes... The total is 1,850 yuan. If you add 10% to the price, I will give you 2,030 yuan."
The drugstore owner took out money from the cash box behind him and put it in Xu Shang's hand.
Xu Shang clicked and found that the boss rounded up the amount to an even number and gave him 2,100 yuan.
The pharmacy owner did this for a reason. He told Xu Shang, "You can sell me any medicinal materials you have in the future. I will still buy them at this price. Of course, the premise is that the quality must be the same as this time, and you can't sell inferior products as good ones!"
"Don't worry! When I get back to the village, I'll discuss with everyone and have them sell to you in the future!"
Of course, these words made the drugstore owner very satisfied, and the two of them smiled at each other.
Xu Shang carefully put the money away, his tense heart finally relaxed, and he showed a happy smile.
Finally I have money!
"Xiaotiao, come on! Brother will take you to a feast!"
