Chapter 659: Buying Ginseng at Yongchun Hall
Zheng Guo smiled and said: "These are precious things that we show to students and tourists for free so that they can learn about the long history and culture..."
Guoguo's little face wrinkled even more.
Even more confused.
Zhang Hong was afraid that the children would not understand, so he said: "That's right, no matter what pots and pans you have, you can bring them to the museum and show them to others."
Guoguo's little face was still wrinkled:
My mother said that I shouldn’t show off.
The two of them showed off and let people die...
Ji Xiaobei has recovered over there. Instead of thinking about too much, he might as well do something useful.
Ji Xiaobei has come to Yongchang Prefecture, but has never had a proper stroll.
She wanted to buy some good ginseng to nourish Zheng Guo.
She asked Lu Xiong where she could buy good ginseng, and Lu Xiong told her that she could go to Yongchuntang, which was the largest medicine shop in Yongchang.
Ji Xiaobei rode out on the little white horse.
She couldn't help Zheng Guo and Fu Jichang now, so she had to take good care of the people around her and wait for the opportunity.
Yongchun Hall has the best location on Yongchun Street.
There are a lot of people coming and going at the door.
Ji Xiaobei stopped the little white horse at the door and walked in.
The weather was very cold, and Ji Xiaobei was wearing a black and gray cotton coat and a thick scarf.
When the thick door curtain was drawn aside, a hot air mixed with the smell of medicine filled the room.
She pulled her scarf down, revealing a fair face.
The waiter then came forward and asked, "Sir, would you like to see a doctor or get some medicine?"
"I'm buying ginseng!" said Ji Xiaobei.
"Okay... Sir, please come in..."
The waiter turned to another waiter at the counter and said, "This guest would like some ginseng roots..."
The guy at the counter said with a smile: "Okay, the ginseng roots are all here. Different years have different prices. Sir, please come over here and have a look..."
The young man's speech was well-trained, and it was obvious that he was trained in a big store.
But, what the hell is ginseng whisker?
Didn’t people in ancient times buy ginseng to nourish their bodies?
Ji Xiaobei moved closer curiously and saw the waiter bringing out three red lacquered wooden boxes, which he opened one by one and placed on the counter.
"Sir, these are ginseng roots from Yongchun Hall in three different years. Which one would you like to take..."
You can tell which of the three boxes is good and which is bad at a glance.
Ji Xiaobei asked curiously, "Does Yongchuntang not sell ginseng roots?"
The young man was stunned, a big smile immediately appeared on his face, and he looked Ji Xiaobei up and down.
“Selling…”
The boy bent down and pulled out two boxes from the shelf behind him.
There were two ginsengs in each, one big and one small, and the quality was not very good.
Ji Xiaobei was a little unhappy and asked if he could give him a older one.
"I want the best!" said Ji Xiaobei.
"Ah, sir, this one is for daily use. This one also costs 20 taels of silver..." the waiter said, pointing to a thick one.
Ji Xiaobei understood that they saw that she had no money, so...
"I want this one..." Ji Xiaobei said, then turned around and glanced at a large ginseng painted on the wall.
"Ah..." The young man was surprised.
This is the king of ginseng from Yongchuntang. No one comes here and asks to buy the king of ginseng.
"This, this one is not for sale. This one is the treasure of the store..."
"Is it produced from Buxian Mountain?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
Buxian Mountain is the ancient name of Changbai Mountain. Ji Xiaobei learned about it when he was in school.
The young man was startled, then smiled and said, "Yes, sir, there is an introduction to our ginseng king over there, you can go and have a look..."
Ji Xiaobei glanced at the small and dense characters, and didn't recognize any of them...
It's not appropriate to buy someone's most valuable item right away.
“Then young man, please introduce me to someone who is one level lower than the King of Ginseng…” Ji Xiaobei sat on the stool.
As soon as the waiter saw Ji Xiaobei's style, he knew that big business was coming.
He winked at the other boy.
After a while, a slightly older middle-aged man came out.
"I am the shopkeeper Tian from Yongchuntang. Miss, please come in to select ginseng..."
Ji Xiaobei followed the shopkeeper into the backyard.
There are rows of small houses in the backyard, probably small warehouses, and there is a strong smell of medicine.
The shopkeeper brought Ji Xiaobei into the reception room.
He took out two ginsengs that he had recently harvested.
"Girl, look at this one, its texture, color, shape, and pulp are all top-notch. This one is slightly inferior, but it's also a century-old mountain ginseng!"
Ji Xiaobei didn’t know much about ginseng, but it looked much more robust than the two outside.
"How much does this cost?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
The shopkeeper was stunned. He didn't expect Ji Xiaobei to ask the price directly without even stumbling.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Young lady, you know what's good. This one is 600 taels of silver, and this one is 500 taels..."
Ji Xiaobei stared at the ginseng carefully. It was the first time he saw real old ginseng.
This thing really looks like a human.
When Shopkeeper Tian saw Ji Xiaobei remained silent, he thought that she thought the price was too high.
He stroked his beard and said, "Girl, our Yongchuntang does not cheat people in business. You can find an experienced person to check it out. There won't be too much fluctuation. Yongchuntang has a century-old reputation."
Ji Xiaobei retracted his gaze, looked at Shopkeeper Tian and said cheerfully: "Just for the century-old Yongchuntang brand, I want both of them..."
Shopkeeper Tian almost spit out the hot tea he just drank.
As if he had heard it wrong, he looked at Ji Xiaobei in disbelief.
He had just looked at the girl, and her dress and appearance made her look like that of an ordinary girl.
Shopkeeper Tian had no choice but to go see Ji Xiaobei again.
Her eyes are as clear as water, her face is delicate, there is a hint of heroism between her brows, and she has an indescribable temperament.
"Excuse me, young lady, what is your name?" asked Shopkeeper Tian.
He has worked in Yongchuntang for his entire life and knows all the wealthy families in Yongchang Prefecture.
But I have never seen this woman.
"No need to mention your surname Ji, Ji Xiaobei!"
Shopkeeper Tian searched through his memories but could not remember any wealthy family with the surname Ji in Yongchang Prefecture.
"Hello, Miss Ji. I'll ask my clerk to send it back for you and pick up the banknotes at the same time!" Shopkeeper Tian said as he peeled the ginseng for Ji Xiaobei personally.
"No thanks, thank you, Manager Tian!" Ji Xiaobei said as he took out two five-hundred-dollar silver notes from his sleeve and another one hundred taels of silver and placed them on the table.
Shopkeeper Tian was very surprised.
In the past, expensive medicinal materials ordered by wealthy families were personally delivered to their homes.
No girl has ever come to buy medicinal herbs with silver bills and silver bags.
Shopkeeper Tian said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, young lady. If you need anything in the future, just let the servants at home tell us and they will deliver it to you, saving you the trouble of making a trip."
Ji Xiaobei smiled and said nothing.
She carried two boxes out of Yongchun Hall, and Manager Tian and several waiters saw her off to the door.
Ji Xiaobei led the little white colt and climbed onto the horse.
