Xia Wan smiled and said to the boss, “Although this is my first ti here selling ginseng, I’ve already asked around in other pharmacies. The price of fifty-year-old wild ginseng fluctuates around 5000 yuan. I know that you have a good reputation and your store is big. I believe we can have a long-term cooperation in the future, so I ca directly to your store.
“Boss, don’t take advantage of . This ginseng is 5000 yuan. It will save us a lot of trouble.”
“You should know how hard it is to find 50-year-old wild ginseng. I just had a little luck and managed to co across it.”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, the boss smiled bitterly.
He didn’t expect this girl to be so good. The price she ntioned was exactly the bottom line he was thinking of.
From the girl’s calm expression, she seed to be experienced. The boss believed that since she could find 50-year-old wild ginseng, she might just be able to find other precious herbs in the future.
Moreover, the way she dug up the ginseng showed that there was an 80% chance that this girl’s family had an elder who knew dicine. If he could work with this girl for a long ti, it might just grant him an extra supplier.
Thinking of this, the boss sighed and said, “Alright, 5000 it is. Wait, I’ll get you the money.”
Soon, the boss counted fifty 100 yuan bills and handed them to Xia Wan. “Count them, girl. See if it’s right.”
Xia Wan unabashedly counted the money in front of the owner.
This was also a rule of doing business. Settle the score in person, so as not to co back for it in the future.
The boss realized that although this girl was young, her words and actions showed she was serious.
“Boss, the amount is right.” Xia Wan smiled after she counted the money. “We’ll be leaving now.”
“What’s your na, girl?” the boss called out. “I’m Zhou Tian. You can co to if you have any good stuff in the future. I’ll definitely give you a good price.”
Xia Wan smiled and replied politely, “My na is Xia Wan. Okay, Uncle Zhou. I got it. If I have any good dicinal herbs, I will co to you imdiately.”
Suddenly, Xia Wan thought of sothing. She handed Zhou Tian a red note. “Uncle Zhou, can I trouble you to break this into small change? The three of us are just kids, and if we go out with a 100 yuan bill, people will think that we stole from our family.
“Alright,” Zhou Tian nodded.
Originally, each note was worth 100 yuan, but Zhou Tian changed them into a 50 yuan note, a 20 yuan note, and a 10 yuan note. The remaining six were one yuan notes, and the remaining four yuan notes were changed into a pile of coins.
With the money in her hands, Xia Wan said gratefully, “Thank you, Uncle Zhou.”
After bidding farewell to Zhou Tian, the siblings walked out of the restaurant.
Xia Chen and Xia Feng still couldn’t react.
Xia Wan knew that they were in a complicated mood, so she led them to a quiet corner and explained, “Don’t tell anyone about this. If grandma finds out, we won’t be able to keep the money.”
Xia Chen nodded. “Don’t worry, Wanwan. We won’t tell anyone. But where did you get that wild ginseng? How did you know it could be sold for so much?”
Xia Chen realized that his sister seed to have changed a lot. She was more mature and sensible than before. Xia Wan appeared to know a lot of things that even he didn’t.
Although Xia Feng said nothing, he was actually very curious.
Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Xia Wan.
Xia Wan knew that the two had noticed her changes, so she sighed and said, “I had a dream. In my dream, our family was very miserable. It was all because dad was too soft-hearted and grandma was too prejudiced. Our family was too honest and never thought of taking advantage of others.
“But the human heart is the most complicated thing in this world. You might not take advantage of others, but that doesn’t an others would leave you alone.
“We don’t harm others, but we must be vigilant and give no one the chanceto harm us!”
Seeing that Xia Wan was serious, Xia Chen and Xia Feng listened intently.
“Don’t worry,” Xia Chen said. “As your brother, I’ll protect you!”
“I’ll protect this family,” Xia Feng said in a low voice, “not you.”
