Chapter 224 Selling Ginseng Like Radishes
"What!?"
Kou Zhongquan was so shocked that he was about to jump up. He quickly looked in front of him and found that it was indeed full of labels such as "one hundred years of ginseng", "one hundred years of ginseng"...
Oh my God!
When did the century-old ginseng be as valuable as big radish? It was so densely packed with so many?
He wanted to buy me a hundred boxes like he did when he bought wine just now, but after estimating the price, he could only stare at the ginseng on the stall with red eyes, looking heartbroken.
At this moment, I marked the price.
"A hundred years old ginseng is 300 taels of gold, fifty years old ginseng is 120 taels of gold, thirty years old ginseng is 80 taels of gold, twenty years old ginseng is 50 taels of gold, ten years old ginseng is 20 taels of gold. Polygonatum, Polygonatum, those with the same year as ginseng are the same."
“Huh?”
Looking at this price, Kou Zhongquan was really surprised. Centennial ginseng was sold at least 500 taels of gold in the Song Dynasty, and the number was quite large, but people rushed to buy it very well and often couldn't buy it even if they had money.
Now the Liao Kingdom has become smarter. It has gathered all the mountain products that have been around for more than fifty years, including ginseng, Polygonatum, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum, etc., and only a few businesses they stipulated can be allowed to buy and sell. Anyone who dares to buy and sell privately will be arrested.
In these prescribed businesses, a ginseng that is 100 years old will be sold for 400 taels of gold, which is very expensive.
Occasionally, some cheap ginseng flows out from private channels, but you should also be careful to buy fake ones with tree roots. Or those that are not old enough, but you can't even cry even if you really cry. There is another even more miserable one, that is, you have worked hard to buy ginseng for a hundred years and give it to others. But it was found that it was fake, so it would definitely be a waste of money to buy it!
So over time, people have become accustomed to buying it in designated stores in the Great Liao Kingdom. It’s okay to be more expensive. No matter what kind of expensive mountain products it is, at least they are safe and honest.
Now I have seen so many hundred and fifty years of ginseng in one go. And judging from the quality of ginseng body, hair and other aspects, it is better than the ones sold by the Great Liao Kingdom, just like the ones eaten by the nobles of the Great Liao Kingdom.
Yes.
The Great Liao Kingdom sold to the rich and the merchants of various countries. Although the years are not fake, the same year still has to be divided into good or bad. The good and the good are naturally used for their own use, and only those with different quality are sold to others.
Could this Yinxingbao be the son of a royal nobleman in the Great Liao Dynasty?
Kou Zhongquan just passed this idea and turned it into denial. How could the royal nobles of the Great Liao Kingdom not use their Khitan warriors, but instead use the barbarians of the Rakshasa clan?
After not understanding it, Kou Zhongquan temporarily put down his questions, looked around and saw the wooden signs. The merchants who had already begun to surround him quickly whispered: "Brother Bao, please get me ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Polygonum multiflorum for 20 for 100 years... In addition, my gold tickets are not enough. Can you help me leave 100 for 100 for 100 years and 200 for 50 years? I will give you money when I leave the goods in the past two days? If it weren't for buying a lot of things before, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed... Don't worry, I can buy it at a price of 100% higher than this!"
If you buy so many precious mountain goods, whether you can make money is secondary. The most important thing is that the master can use these things as favors. No matter whether it is a corrupt official, no one can refuse such a precious gift for life.
I thought about it for a moment and left him with goods of about 170,000 taels of gold, which had a great impact on my sales, but Kou Zhongquan helped me a lot at the beginning and helped me open up the situation. Moreover, he is also generous and upright, and it seems that it would be nice to sell him a favor?
Even if he doesn't buy it in the end, I can easily sell these hot goods.
"Okay!" I nodded and said, "I'll wait for you for three days, Mr. Kou, is this time enough?"
"Enough, enough!"
Kou Zhongquan was overjoyed. He thought he would have to take some extra trouble and even raise the price again, but he didn't expect that I was so happy.
"Brother Bao, this is a 20,000 taels of gold. You can take it first!" Kou Zhongquan's attitude became closer and closer: "I won't take these things for now, and leave them here. After I sell the goods, I will take them together."
"OK."
I didn't ask much, and I knew it was his sincerity.
"Shopkeeper, can I try your ginseng?"
"No... so many fifty years?"
In a blink of an eye, merchants had already surrounded him. I asked my friends to greet the guests and ordered Silang Wulang who came back to keep the share Kou Zhongquan wanted. He asked Kou Zhongquan casually: "Mr. Kou, what are you bringing to sell?"
"There are no good things, we sold a lot of silk, cloth and tea from the south of the Yangtze River." Kou Zhongquan said modestly, but he was still quite proud and proud in his words.
In this era, the silk, cloth and tea of the Song Dynasty were definitely the best in the world. Every year, together with their porcelain, they earned huge wealth for the Song Dynasty and made the Song Dynasty the richest country.
I heard that because of these businesses, they deduct annual tributes to the Great Liao Kingdom every year, and they can also earn more than 80 million taels of gold from the Great Liao Kingdom, and the profits are super rich!
I immediately became interested. Silk is too luxurious for us, but cloth and tea are good things.
Cloth can make new clothes for the people in the village. Many of them only have one piece of clothing, and even many families, three people have two pieces of clothing, and whoever goes out wears it, they are all ragged. If they give each of their households a few meters of fabric, I believe they will be smiling from ear to ear?
Tea is a necessity in life, especially because we eat meat for many years, relying solely on tender bamboo leaf tea and a small amount of vegetables is absolutely not enough. It will not work in the long run. You must drink authentic tea to clean the stomach and intestines.
Although tea and cloth are not on my purchase list, if I cannot handle matters flexibly, am I still the eldest master of Sanguo Village?
As I thought about it, I asked casually: "Mr. Kou, what fabric are you bringing, what tea are, what quality and price are you doing?"
Kou Zhongquan understood what I meant as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, my family is mostly mountainous, and there are still many poor people. If you buy something back, you will also reward everyone." I said half-truely: "Mr. Kou, as long as the price is right, I can take it all for you."
"Haha, Brother Bao, you're so happy to do business!" Kou Zhongquan said with a smile. He thought for a while, "Let's do this, my cloth is all third-class goods, and it's sixteen taels of gold to sell to others. Since Brother Bao, you're so good, I'll give you fifteen taels of gold... Well, my cloth is a big cloth, and one piece is 241 zhang. Now I have 10,000 pieces of cloth on my hand, can you eat it?"
