Chapter 45 Selling the Old Ginseng
"You really hit the jackpot, kid! You managed to dig this up!"
"I've heard that it's so rare to find even one of these ginseng roots in the mountains all around. They're so valuable that rich people are fighting over them."
Zhang Yang seized the opportunity to interject, saying, "I don't know any rich people... Besides, rich people aren't necessarily kind-hearted. What if they see me as a poor kid who doesn't know anything about this and try to cheat me? That's why I thought I'd come to this black market to ask around first."
Brother Huai simply held up three fingers and said, "One price, three hundred. Think it over!"
Three hundred!
That's quite a lot of money!
He went through countless hardships and worked himself to the bone to sell three wolves, but he only earned three hundred.
This old ginseng, no bigger than the palm of your hand, can actually sell for three hundred!
In comparison with other sources, this amount of money is certainly substantial.
But considering the price of old ginseng in later generations, Zhang Yang still hesitated.
Bystanders scoffed, "Three hundred isn't enough? You're being a bit greedy!"
Brother Huai also seemed somewhat unhappy.
Zhang Yang remained silent, simply clutching the old ginseng tightly in his hand.
“I heard from the old folks in our village that this thing can save lives in a critical moment. A human life can’t be worth only three hundred, can it?”
"That depends on whose fate it is!"
Others advised him, "Didn't you say it yourself? You have no connections and don't know any wealthy families. If you take this thing there, they might not even believe you. They might want to cut off a piece to test its authenticity. One family will cut off a little, another will cut off a little, and in the end, you won't be able to sell it and they'll just eat it all up!"
Zhang Yang suddenly squatted down on the ground and pretended to cry.
“We are hunters, and our family relies on these treasures from the mountains to make a living… I don’t necessarily want to ask for an exorbitant price for this old ginseng, I just want to sell it for its due value.”
Just then, someone else approached.
The newcomer didn't speak, but the onlookers around him automatically made way for him.
Zhang Yang opened his eyes, which were red from being rubbed so hard, and looked at the person who had come in.
This time, the person leading the German Shepherd was different; it was an unfamiliar face, but his clothes and walking posture were similar to the driver who had driven the scarred man before.
They're pretty much the same; they must be from the same boat.
"Sir, have you taken a fancy to this old ginseng?" Brother Huai asked politely.
Upon hearing Huai Ge's drastic change in attitude, Zhang Yang became even more certain that this group of people were no ordinary individuals.
He also took out the old ginseng that was standing in his palm and displayed it in front of the man.
The man walking the dog didn't move, and asked in a calm voice, "Ginseng? That is indeed a rare treasure."
Brother Huai chuckled dryly, "Since your master has taken a liking to it, then you can name your price, and I won't accept it!"
"No, I just came to take a look," said the man walking the dog.
Brother Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
The man walking the dog looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Old Huai's prices for medicine in this area are fair; you can trust him."
Zhang Yang's heart sank.
It feels like this is a done deal, and there's no room for negotiation on the price.
Three hundred, three hundred it is...
Just as he was about to give in, the man walking the dog spoke up again: "However, last autumn, I heard that the Li family in Zhenhai City went to another place to buy a ginseng root that was over thirty years old. It cost them almost a thousand yuan at the time."
Xiao Qian!
The people around couldn't help but have their eyes light up.
Brother Huai spoke the truth, "That's how it is with rare medicinal herbs. If you're in a rush, the price is negotiable! But if you're unlucky, you might spend a lot of money to buy them, only to find they're stuck in your hands and you can't sell them, resulting in a loss. There's a risk involved..."
Zhang Yang steeled his heart and stated clearly, "Then I won't say much more. Six hundred yuan, and I'll sell you this old ginseng! Money and goods are settled, nothing is wrong, and no matter how high a price you can sell it for afterward, I won't interfere!"
Everyone turned to look at Brother Huai.
If he shouts "three hundred, then six hundred," what will he do?
Today's show was truly spectacular!
Now it was Brother Huai's turn to hesitate.
The man walking the dog looked at Brother Huai.
“Old Huai, if you want to buy this ginseng but don’t have enough cash on hand, I can be your guarantor. Go borrow some from those underground guys, write an IOU, and pay them back when you have the money.”
Brother Huai was delighted, "Then thank you, sir!"
As they talked, they headed towards the cellar.
Zhang Yang held the basket on his back and waited in the same spot.
The surrounding vendors became lively and started talking to Zhang Yang.
"You're really lucky, kid. You got to know this gentleman when you sold wolves last time, which is why they're here to speak up for you today."
"Yeah, they usually only operate around the black market and don't really get involved in buying and selling. I didn't expect that both times they came here, it would be related to you, kid."
Intrigued, Zhang Yang inquired, "Just who is this gentleman?"
"Don't ask! If you ask, they might not help you anymore." That's what everyone says.
Zhang Yang had no choice but to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
He is indeed too ordinary now, just a poor boy from the village, how could he be considered as high as those with social status?
But there is still a long way to go.
He will have the opportunity to get to know them!
While waiting for Brother Huai and the others to return, Zhang Yang was so hungry that he was practically starving.
He had money on him, but didn't want anyone to know, so he deliberately went to the old man selling pancakes and asked if he could buy two pancakes on credit.
The old man had already heard others discussing the ginseng, and knew that this young man was about to make a fortune, so of course he was willing to make an exception for his wealthy customer.
"A strong young man like you, are these two pancakes enough? Buy five, and I'll give you a discount. The original price is seven cents each, but if you buy five, I'll only charge you three cents in total."
Zhang Yang wasn't stingy. "Then give me ten pancakes! I'll give you sixty-five cents!"
Others laughed, "You're quite the loyal friend! You haven't even had a bite yourself, and you're already thinking about your brother's share!"
Zhang Yang smiled modestly, "We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together. They've protected me, so of course I have to think of them too."
The man walking the dog had just returned when he overheard this sentence.
go through fire and water……
This kid doesn't look very old, so why does he speak with such a weathered voice?
He clearly grew up in a time of peace; logically, he shouldn't have witnessed the brutality of those bloody battles.
No wonder the leader told us to keep an eye on him.
This guy really does seem to have the potential to be a Predator.
"The money's here." The man walking the dog looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang looked over and saw sixty ten-yuan bills, which stacked up to be quite a large pile!
Brother Huai seemed to have not done such a big deal in a long time, and his face was beaming with joy.
He took the old ginseng given to him by Zhang Yang, and touched it in his hand again and again, as if his future wealth and fortune depended entirely on this little thing.
Other dealers were also curious, as many had never seen such a rare treasure before. Seeing that he had actually exchanged it for so much money, they became even more interested and surrounded Brother Huai, asking him to tell them about this old ginseng.
