90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

As for the old man's own background, he didn't even mention it.

I don't know if he forgot or did it on purpose.

Yi Congxin was afraid of provoking him to have another attack, so she had no choice but to answer all his questions like a good student serving a bad-tempered teacher, until she sent the old man back to the dilapidated temple.

The old man didn't say anything polite, turned around and went straight into the temple.

Yi Congxin was speechless and shouted, "Grandpa, I will come to see you again later."

The old man paused, but still didn't turn around.

Yi Congxin went down the mountain carrying a bamboo basket, thinking of selling it for money and buying some medicine for the old man.

The old man was suffering from bronchitis, a disease that was slow to heal, and he didn't look like he could take care of himself, let alone make his own medicine. If he went crazy again, the situation would be even more dangerous.

Yi Congxin went down the mountain to Rongshui Street, a famous street of medicinal materials. There are at least a hundred Chinese medicinal materials stores on both sides of the road.

Medical departments or medicinal material dealers from all over the county and even the entire city would come to Rongshui Street to purchase Chinese medicinal materials in wholesale.

She searched along the street and found a large herbal medicine store - Zheng's Pharmacy, which was right opposite her aunt's herbal medicine store.

The original owner had noticed Zheng Ji when she accompanied Yi Huaizhong on a delivery. They say "competitors are enemies," and in the original owner's memory, Zheng Ji seemed to have always had some issues with Yan Ji, her aunt's family.

Zheng Ji Medicinal Materials is now run by a small business owner, and he hasn't seen such good quality products for a long time.

The wild fresh ginger-shaped Polygonatum in the backpack has strong roots, green leaves, solid texture, many knots, thick, plump and long roots, and is truly top-quality product.

Boss Zheng's eyes widened, but when buying goods, he had to be picky first before he could lower the price.

"It's freshly picked, so it's full of moisture and weighs too much!"

"It's not too big!"

"There are too many mud spots and they can't be cleaned!"

Yi Congxin just looked at him quietly and smiled, without saying anything or responding.

Only those who dislike goods are the buyers. Let Boss Zheng satisfy his desire to eat.

She was 100% sure that her Polygonatum would sell well.

If it weren't for the conflict between Zheng Ji and Yan Ji, she could have taken the medicine to a larger herbal medicine shop and maybe even sold it at a higher price.

Boss Zheng picked and chose but couldn't find a major problem that would really bring down the price.

He threw punch after punch, but it was like hitting cotton. Yi Congxin looked confident and ignored him completely.

Yi Congxin insisted on the price of 8 yuan per catty and refused to budge. Boss Zheng looked embarrassed and said, "The market price is 4 yuan per catty... yours is twice as high!"

"How can something that costs four or five yuan per pound compare to mine?" Yi Congxin snorted, picked up the basket and walked out.

Boss Zheng has just taken over the family business not long ago. His eye for medicinal herbs is not bad, but when it comes to negotiating prices... he is obviously far inferior to Yi Congxin, who was once a successful businessman.

He was a little lacking in confidence, "Hey! Don't leave! 6 dollars, no more!"

"8 yuan, buy it or not!" Yi Congxin interrupted him and deliberately glanced at the four or five herbal medicine stores outside.

"You girl! 7 dollars!" Boss Zheng stomped his feet.

"8 yuan!" Yi didn't even reply in his heart.

"I'm scared of you! 8 dollars, 8 dollars! Come back soon!" Boss Zheng was completely defeated.

The key point is that such high-quality Polygonatum is hard to come by.

If you miss it, you'd be crazy.

The store must have a few high-quality products to show off so that it can make a good appearance at the first "Herb Exchange Conference" held by the Chinese Medicine Guild next month.

Once this Polygonatum sibiricum catches the eye of the big medicinal material merchant from Shanghai Port, his shop will have a firm foothold in Rongshui Street, no, in the entire Tantou County, and even in the entire Sanping City!

Zhengji Pharmacy had worked so hard to secure a spot to attend the conference, and it absolutely cannot be wasted!

Boss Zheng was calculating in his mind, it was only 8 yuan per pound. Compared with the 8 or 8 yuan in the future, this amount was not even a drop in the bucket.

It is better to wait quietly for him to finish his thoughts.

"I'll charge you 8 yuan, but you have to agree to one condition of mine." Boss Zheng thought for a while and spoke.

It is better to let him know what is in your heart.

Boss Zheng said solemnly: "If you have Polygonatum of this quality in the future, you can only send it to me."

Seeing that the other party really knew the goods, Yi Congxin nodded and said, "We'll follow the market price. As long as you don't charge less than 8 yuan, it's fine."

Boss Zheng chuckled and said, this deal is worth it!

Yi Congxin interrupted his smirk: "Boss Zheng, can you show me those four or five yuan Polygonatum odoratum? I'll pick them out when I dig them next time and only give you the good ones."

Boss Zheng did not suspect anything and immediately asked the waiter to bring two kinds of food, one fresh and one prepared.

Yi Congxin took a look and couldn't help frowning.

The stems of the Polygonatum she collected had obvious scars, and the "annual interval" was at least 5 cm long. However, the ones in front of her had an "annual interval" of at most 3 cm, and some were even less than 2 cm.

She calmly picked up another piece of processed herbal medicine. There is a saying in Chinese herbal medicine that "three points depend on the place of origin, and seven points depend on the craftsmanship." Let's see how these so-called "nine-process" ones are.

It is soft when pinched in the hand and can be easily broken apart. When you put it to your nose and smell it, you can smell not only a faint medicinal fragrance, but also a faint sweet taste.

In her previous life, she wouldn’t even accept such Polygonatum at 4 yuan per pound, let alone 2 yuan!

Yi Congxin put down the piece of Polygonatum, looked at the black residue on his fingertips, and raised his eyebrows to look at Boss Zheng.

Boss Zheng felt a little embarrassed when she looked at him.

"Hey! Girl, I can tell you're an expert at this. I won't hide it from you, these cheap ones from me are good. The Polygonatum odoratum is real Polygonatum odoratum, but I just used brown sugar to color it when making it. I didn't add anything else. You don't know the one across the street..."

Boss Zheng had a meaningful look in his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on Yan's Chinese Medicine Shop across the street.

Yi Congxin followed his gaze and saw people constantly coming in and out of his aunt's shop across the street. Those who came out were either carrying bulging sacks or several sets of Chinese medicine bags.

really.

The conflict between Zheng Ji and Yan Ji is not fake.

She smiled and deliberately lowered her voice to ask, "Boss Zheng, what's the matter? Are you jealous of their good business?"

"Tsk! What am I coveting? I'd love to earn that kind of dirty money!" Boss Zheng got a little angry and almost cursed out loud.

Putting aside other things, everyone is selling medicinal herbs. As long as it is fair competition, he won't say a word.

But is what Yan Ji did across the street humane?!

Mixing up different varieties would be fine, but every shop on this street mixes in some inferior herbs from the same origin and species. Big-leaf madder is passed off as madder, and Ziziphus jujuba seeds are mixed in with Yunnan jujube seeds...
