I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 53 It's a Seller's Market
The two walked for more than an hour, their feet were sore, and they finally walked from the slums in the north of the city to the He Family Clinic in the south of the city.
The He Family Clinic is different from other shops in the surrounding area. Because of its special business, there are no waiters outside the door to solicit customers.
It was not until Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou stepped into the door of the clinic side by side that the little pharmacist guarding the door greeted them in a gentle voice, "Do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?"
Gu Wenxuan said, "We are here to sell herbs collected from the mountains. Please ask your shopkeeper or boss for help."
For ordinary medicinal materials, everyone would directly ask the little medicine boy to help check the quality and calculate the money. Only when the medicinal materials are precious will the seller ask to meet the shopkeeper or the boss.
When the little medicine boy heard Gu Wenxuan say this, he immediately glanced at what the two men were wearing and the two backpacks on their backs.
When he saw that the top layer of the basket contained vegetables instead of medicinal herbs, he immediately guessed that the two were probably using vegetables to cover up the precious medicinal herbs in the basket.
"Please follow me." He led the two to sit down at the stone table in the backyard. "Aunt, if you want to see our shopkeeper or boss, you must first show me what medicinal herbs you brought."
Although he guessed that it should be a precious medicinal material, the "precious medicinal materials" in the eyes of poor people including him might not necessarily be the "precious medicinal materials" in the eyes of their shopkeepers and employers.
In order to avoid being scolded, the little medicine boy would always take a look at the herbs brought by the seller first, and then decide whether to report to the shopkeeper or the boss.
Gu Wenxuan had expected this to happen, so she readily took out the box containing the Ganoderma lucidum.
She opened the lid of the box and let the little medicine boy take a look, then quickly closed the lid and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
The little medicine boy's eyes widened, and his mouth was so wide open that an egg could be stuffed directly into it. When he heard Gu Wenxuan's question, he stammered, "See, see clearly."
Gu Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction, "Then go and invite your shopkeeper or boss. I'll give you a cup of tea."
The little medicine boy nodded quickly, "I'll go right away!"
About seven or eight days ago, their boss said that the prefect wanted to receive two good quality Ganoderma lucidum as gifts, and the price had been set at two thousand six hundred taels per catty. Unfortunately, none of the Ganoderma lucidum sent by various clinics and drug stores could satisfy the prefect's taste.
Now, their clinic has supply!
The little medicine boy rushed to the second courtyard. He wanted to find the boss and ask him to talk to the two men directly.
He believed that if his boss was happy, even if he could not be promoted from a medicine boy to an apprentice, he would definitely be able to get some reward from his boss!
Bai Jingzhou raised his lips slightly, and whispered to Gu Wenxuan: "It seems that our Ganoderma lucidum is exactly what they need urgently."
Gu Wenxuan looked at him with a smile, "Then can we raise the price appropriately?"
Bai Jingzhou nodded, "Let's do as we said before. Let them make an offer first. If we are not satisfied with their offer, you can try asking for 2,000 taels per catty to see if they agree."
Gu Wenxuan nodded, "If you disagree, I will go to other clinics in the east and south of the city to ask."
There are two medical clinics with good financial resources and good reputation in the east of the city. In the south of the city, apart from the He family clinic, there is only one medical clinic that can afford their Ganoderma lucidum, but the owner has a bad reputation.
If it were someone else, they would definitely avoid the clinic whose owner was only interested in profit and bullied the good and feared the evil, but who was Gu Wenxuan? The first way she considered to make money was to rob the thieves.
She was not afraid that the clinic would have any bad intentions towards their Ganoderma lucidum. If the other party did not have any bad intentions, how would she have the opportunity to retaliate against them in their own way?
In other words, Bai Jingzhou insisted on keeping a low profile as much as possible, otherwise she would definitely choose to go to that clinic first.
After the two finished talking, they waited for about half a cup of tea, and the little medicine boy came back with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man walked hurriedly, his breathing a little disordered, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry to get here.
Upon seeing Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, the middle-aged man immediately asked, "Do you have Ganoderma lucidum?"
Bai Jingzhou nodded, "It's a red Ganoderma lucidum of excellent quality."
The middle-aged man's eyes were burning. "Can I take a closer look?"
Bai Jingzhou looked at Gu Wenxuan, and Gu Wenxuan reached out to open the lid of the box.
The middle-aged man's sight immediately fell on the simple wooden box that was so ordinary that it was not worth mentioning at all. He stared at the Ganoderma lucidum with burning eyes. After looking at it carefully, he suggested taking it out and smelling it.
Gu Wenxuan nodded and deliberately lowered her voice to remind him, "You can smell it, but if you want to try it, if you break it, you will have to pay a high price to compensate us for the loss."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. If I had damaged it, I would have bought it at a high price and kept it for our clinic's own use."
Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows, thinking that he was indeed a smart man who could run a clinic of this scale, and his words were so flawless.
She nodded, "That's it, please check carefully."
Under the gaze of her and Bai Jingzhou, the middle-aged man picked up several Ganoderma lucidum in the box one by one. After he carefully examined each one, he said, "They are all good-looking Ganoderma lucidum. I wonder how much money you plan to sell them for?"
Gu Wenxuan said: "You should make the offer. I hope you can give us a fair price."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "One catty is one thousand six hundred taels, how about that?"
Gu Wenxuan shook her head, "Not really."
She quickly took back the small wooden box containing the Ganoderma lucidum and closed the lid with swift movements.
"Since the boss is not sincere about buying, there is no need for us to waste time here." She stood up. "Anyway, there are clinics and medicine shops everywhere in Xingzhou City. While it is still early, we can go to other clinics to ask for prices."
"Hey..." The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped her, "Don't be anxious, sister-in-law! If you are not satisfied with my offer, just bargain. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Gu Wenxuan held the box tightly and refused to let go. "I hate bargaining with others. Just give me a fair price. To be honest, if my family didn't have to go to school, I really couldn't leave. I don't have to sell this thing in Xingzhou."
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat. Why did he feel that the woman in front of him was talking behind his back? Could it be that she...
Although his mind was full of thoughts, the middle-aged man did not look as anxious as the little medicine boy standing behind him, who was sweating.
He smiled and motioned for Gu Wenxuan to sit down again. "I was shortsighted. I didn't realize that you, sister-in-law, are also well-informed."
The middle-aged man had already received the news and knew that the prefect of Xingzhou wanted to keep the Ganoderma lucidum because of the Minister of Personnel in their faction and his mother urgently needed Ganoderma lucidum as a tonic medicine.
