The casual life of the flat space
Chapter 55: Messenger
"Of course! The village chief said that a Ganoderma lucidum nest was found in Beishan, and there are many old Ganoderma lucidum in it! But let me see if Chunfutang has spread the word so well to everyone before letting me tell this story. Since I came in, this uncle has always been very nice to me, and the shopkeeper is also very friendly, so I decided to tell you!"
Bai Tieying's words made Zhang a bit amused. After all, she was still a child! But he liked her even more. Children have the brightest eyes and the purest hearts. Whether they treat her well or not depends entirely on their feelings. But doesn't this also show that his family and the store have a good reputation?
"You kid, this is our Chunfutang. Don't be so honest in other places!" The waiter next to him couldn't help but advise.
"Humph, I'm smart! I didn't say a word when the waiter told the customer there was no fish. We have plenty of fish in our village, and they're delicious!"
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know what was going on so he looked at the waiter. The waiter exaggerated the story of the girl being despised for eating in the restaurant and said angrily, "Tieying, tell me which restaurant it is and I'll go and vent my anger on you!"
"Thank you, uncle. We villagers are not well dressed, so it's no wonder that the guests don't want to eat with us. But we are self-reliant and we pay for meals. It's not shameful!" Bai Tieying said while raising her little face proudly.
Shopkeeper Zhang thought to himself, "That's right. This child is not only smart, but also very strong-willed. How did the adults in this family teach their child so well?"
After thinking about it, Manager Zhang asked, "How many of the older ones are there?"
"One plant is every hundred years, four plants are every fifty years, and the remaining twenty-four plants are ten years old or older and less than fifty years old."
"What? So many! You, this, this, oh my! This is truly a place where cranes stay! What a blessing!"
Although the villagers usually collect and sell one-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it is not uncommon to find older Ganoderma lucidum. However, it is rare for their store to collect so many at once in the past hundred years.
Just now when she said yes, I just thought it was just one or two plants. I never expected that this time not only would it solve the problem of the goods ordered by Mr. Chen, but their store might also have one more treasure!
"Then how many were born this year?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked anxiously.
"There are one hundred and thirty-eight annual plants."
"How much?" Shopkeeper Zhang stood up in shock. What kind of blessed land is this Xianhe Village? They can actually collect so much! The amount of their village alone accounts for one-third of the entire county! Maybe their village found the same Ganoderma lucidum nest, which is why there is such a large amount!
Shopkeeper Zhang was very excited. Just this one move could take Chunfutang's business to the next level! But he had been a shopkeeper for many years after all, so he quickly calmed down. Looking at Bai Tieying, he felt that this kid was not simple.
It's not unusual for the village chief to send him here to ask for prices, but since he told everyone everything, this kid must have some special qualities. So he slowly sat down again, turned sideways and said to Bai Tieying: "Don't call me shopkeeper, call me uncle!"
"Hello, Uncle Zhang!" Bai Tieying stood up and saluted, and was quickly helped up by Manager Zhang, who motioned for her to sit down and talk.
"Uncle Zhang, our Xianhe Village is not only a place of outstanding people, but also a place of beautiful scenery and abundant products. But there is a disadvantage, it is too far from the county town. It takes two hours to go back and forth, and you have to be careful. So although there are many mountain products in our village, it is difficult to transport them out, and most of them are eaten by ourselves.
But last year, we villagers discussed that we could no longer work individually. We could only work to fill our stomachs every year. So in addition to farming, we would all work together to get food from the North Mountain and water from the North Mountain River, and strive to build big tile houses for every family.
Last fall, we went to collect mountain products together, but it snowed and the roads became difficult to walk on. We can't just eat wild game, every family has to cultivate the land in spring, which has delayed us until now. Of course, the most important thing is that we have to find out which shop has a good reputation, so in fact, I came here today to be a "messenger." "
"Hahahaha, you're a great 'messenger'!" Shopkeeper Zhang was excited and moved by Bai Tieying's words.
"Tieying! Uncle Zhang, please go back and tell the village chief and fellow villagers that I, Zhang Baoshan, swear on my century-old Zhang family shop that I will buy the same grade of mountain products from Xianhe Village at the highest market price and will never use a ghost scale!"
"On behalf of the village chief and fellow villagers, I would like to thank Manager Zhang for his kindness and affection!" Bai Tieying stood up and shook Manager Zhang's hand, shaking it vigorously a few times.
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't understand what this was for, so he asked, "Tieying, what does this mean?"
"Ah? Oh! In our village, this is the etiquette for expressing gratitude and keeping one's word!"
"This etiquette is very... powerful!" Shopkeeper Zhang felt it was novel and also grabbed Bai Tieying's hand and shook it a few times.
Bai Tieying's hand was a little painful from being held, but she didn't show it on her face. She kept praising Manager Zhang for his authentic gestures!
Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhang didn't let go after being praised, Bai Tieying hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang, why don't you take a look at other mountain products in our village?"
"Okay, okay, take it out and show it to me. Oh, I really admire your village for making such a decision! 'Look to the North Mountain for food, and look to the North Mountain and River for drinks', look at these two sentences, how well they are said! This momentum is not inferior to that of General Dingbei back then!"
Bai Tieying took out other mountain products from his backpack, and soon the table was full. Seeing this, the waiter quickly brought another small table, which was also filled up soon, and it was finally full.
Although there were not many of each item, just one or two, the variety was huge. Looking at the two tables of mountain products, Bai Tieying couldn't help but feel proud, these were all treasures she had collected!
"Uncle Zhang, our village chief said that if the shopkeeper is satisfied with the quality, he will guarantee that the goods delivered by the villagers will be of high quality. These are the only kinds of mountain products worth selling in the village. If you want anything else, you can place an order with us so that we can harvest them when the season comes."
"Oh, oh, OK, OK, no problem!" Shopkeeper Zhang was shocked again. Although these mountain products are inconspicuous, there are not many with such a wide variety. If this deal is successful, not only will the quality of his products be improved, but his Zhang family's status in the mountain product shop will also be different!
"Then how much of each kind of mountain product can your village provide?"
"Each type weighs from 100 to 1,000 kilograms."
"What?" Shopkeeper Zhang was numb. So many? Did this village empty out the entire Beishan Mountain? That's every kind! And it's dry stuff! I guess the villagers haven't been idle all autumn!
