Chapter 436: 436.30 yuan per jin_1
The little girl was in such a bleak situation that everyone felt uncomfortable saying anything more. They simply asked her to sit down and take a rest while piling more food in front of her.
Only Wu Lan glanced at her and whispered to Song Tan, “Is this the one who’s going to purchase? I don’t know why, but I just don’t think she’s reliable… It’s better to ask your uncle to find soone else.”
“I also think she’s unreliable.”
The grandmother nodded in agreent, “You see, there’s a saying, ‘no whiskers on the mouth, no firmness in the work.’ Those who are skilled in Chinese dicine are usually older. She’s so young, what can she really learn?”
“Mom, Grandma, you can’t underestimate people.”
Song Tan argued, “So people really have talent. Besides, even if she’s not comprehensive, being specialized in one thing is also okay!”
“But this girl probably has no talent.”
Wu Lan said with certainty, “Look, she’s supposed to be a doctor, but she can’t even take care of her own body, and she’s gone and gotten herself hypoglycemia… Her dical skills must not be much.”
Song Tan: …
She wanted to say there’s a saying, “Physicians don’t heal themselves,”…
But then she thought, from a certain perspective, her mother’s analysis wasn’t wrong.
However…
“They said they haven’t eaten, no matter how well Chinese dicine conditions the body, if you don’t eat for a long ti, won’t you still not be able to hold up? We can’t be so one-sided.”
“Besides, she’s here to examine the dicinal materials, not to see a doctor. Whether she’s good or not, has nothing to do with us.”
Anyway, the family mbers were all skeptical.
However, Xin Jun, who ca down from upstairs after hearing the whole conversation, reassured them, “It’s fine, since she’s a practitioner of Chinese dicine, she must know how to process these things normally and how to do them best. It’s worth having her teach us.”
“Besides, if she doesn’t buy it herself, she can still introduce soone else to us. Just for that, her coming is a good thing.”
Wu Lan thought about it, and indeed it was!
“Truly worthy of Teacher Xin, so knowledgeable!”
She was delighted and quickly raised her voice to ask, “Miss, would you like a bowl of silver ear soup?”
Guo Dong was too embarrassed.
After chugging down two big bowls of brown sugar water, she was feeling much better.
Her body was indeed pretty good, but she had really not eaten for a long ti—because of the matchmaking, she didn’t leave the house, and her mother guarded strictly against it, so she didn’t eat all day before leaving.
Now, after the sugar water, her stomach was sloshing around. She politely declined but still accepted the bowl of silver ear soup from Wu Lan’s hands.
The mont the sweet soup touched her tongue, Guo Dong’s spirits soared!
“Your silver ear fungus…”
She tasted it with surprise, “The quality is so high! Are you selling? I’ll offer a high price!”
Song Tan scooted over to her with joy, “Selling! 4,000 yuan per jin, how much more can you offer?”
Guo Dong: …
She silently put down the bowl, “I’ve intruded.”
But after thinking it over, she picked up the bowl again, “But really, 4,000 yuan is super worth it. If you et soone who knows their stuff and has money, they’d be willing to add another zero to that price.”
Song Tan straightened up even more, “Do you have a channel? If you can sell it for that price, I’ll give you a commission.”
Guo Dong: …
She also found it hard to explain, “If I had the capability to sell it, why wouldn’t I purchase from your family and sell it myself?”
Wouldn’t that earn more than just getting a commission?
“That’s not the point.”
Zhang Yanping originally had this idea too, but now isn’t she earnestly selling goods for Song Tan to earn that commission? At this mont, she had quite the authority to speak:
“You can’t wrap fire in paper, and there’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let wind through—our strength will sooner or later beco great and powerful. If you sell to others at a higher price today, and later they find out the original price, do you still want to maintain your reputation with the clients?”
“A sterling reputation is worth more than gold!”
Guo Dong looked at Zhang Yanping in surprise, then nodded her head:
“You make a good point, so if I sell at your prices, how much commission can you give ?”
She was quite good at earning money, but in the past few years, after her mother’s tearful plea, she also packed up to go back to her hotown to build a house, preparing for a pastoral life.
The result…
Well, let’s not talk about it.
Now she had so money in her pocket, but not much, and she needed to hurry up and think of ways to increase her inco and save on expenses!
Her clients were all particularly focused on maintaining their health, and with her reputation, she was confident that soone would be willing to buy the silver fungus for four thousand yuan a pound.
It all adds up, after all!
And having tasted so many delicacies with this mouth of hers, she was certain that this silver fungus was an absolute bargain!
Song Tan, however, sighed,
“Then let’s forget it.”
“We didn’t plant much silver fungus this year anyway, and it won’t go bad if we sell it slowly. If I have to sell it through you, I will be paying out an extra share of commission for the sa amount of money—it’s not worth it.”
Guo Dong felt that she was normally quite articulate, but now she seed to be at a loss for words several tis over.
She was simply surprised,
“Then your client base must be quite good.”
Having finished the last bit of the silver fungus soup, her spirits were now revived, her heart no longer pounding anxiously. She then took out her Traditional Chinese dicine practitioner’s license proactively:
“Look, I am a genuine doctor. I’m here specifically for your Golden Sakura. May I take a look at it?”
“Oh wow, you got your license right after graduating?” Wu Lan was surprised.
Guo Dong smiled,
“Auntie, I’m thirty.”
She was precisely thirty years old, but in the village, people tended to claim they were two years younger.
As a result, her mother always said she was thirty-two.
However, in her mother’s eyes, there wasn’t much difference between thirty-two and thirty. As long as she wasn’t married, she was considered a failure.
“Won’t you rest for a while?”
Wu Lan looked at her fair face, thinking that this girl really looked young. She might actually be quite skilled in dicine—how else would she know how to take care of herself so well?
“No need.”
Guo Dong started to smile,
“I usually run around various mountain areas collecting dicinal herbs. Don’t get
wrong, Auntie. I’m in good health. I’m only like this because I’ve missed several als.”
Wu Lan’s gaze instantly beca filled with pity,
“Oh dear, why haven’t you eaten? Look how thin you’ve beco, you really shouldn’t neglect your health like this…”
Guo Dong did not have the habit of discussing her family affairs with everyone, so she just smiled,
“It’s nothing—Auntie, do you grow a lot of Golden Sakura?”
Alright then.
Her talk was always about dicinal herbs in just a few words.
Wu Lan responded readily,
“A lot! We’ve got a whole bunch! It’s planted all around my Chestnut Garden. If you’re up for it, let’s go take a look right now.”
Everyone was really curious about the price of Golden Sakura and also wanted to know what this thing was all about. With the ti being around five or six o’clock and the sun not so scorching anymore, apart from the older folks, the rest were quite eager to head up the mountain.
Guo Dong was actually quite experienced, and she was not a bit flustered at this mont. She spoke gently and ticulously—it indeed had the flavor of a doctor soothing a patient.
“Auntie, you really have an eye for things. Many people don’t know about Golden Sakura, but its purchase price has always been quite good.”
“That’s right,” Wu Lan said with a smile. “I only found out about it recently. I heard that in past years, people would buy it, and the fresh fruit would sell for 30 yuan a pound!”
