Chapter 123 Selling Dendrobium
Jiang Youzhen was not surprised that Tong Huaian knew him. He was quite knowledgeable in medicine, so it was not surprising that he recognized her. However, she heard the anger in his tone and knew that he cared about her, so she still appreciated it. They were like friends.
"Thank you for coming to find me, and thank you for not exposing me. But I want to say that this was really an accident, and I didn't mean to go to the edge of the cliff. I won't take such a risk next time. I'm scared too!"
"Humph! That's better. I don't want to find a new partner!" Tong Huaian snorted coldly, and then said: "I have some medicine at home. I'll have someone send some to you later."
"No need, I also have external injury medicine." Jiang Youzhen shook his head, his own external injury medicine was more effective.
"Maybe you don't need it, but the kid behind you doesn't look well. He was frightened and was hit by a cold wind. He might have a seizure and fever at night. You should be careful at night!"
When Jiang Youzhen heard that Tong Huaian was going to bring him some antipyretic medicine, he no longer refused.
"You are so cruel! This child is still a child, don't enslave him too harshly."
Tong Huaian's words made Jiang Youzhen roll his eyes. Why did he call her Zhou Baopi?
"I told you it was an accident!" Jiang Youzhen said unhappily.
"Really?" Tong Huaian held back his laughter, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Please sell the Dendrobium officinale to me! I have a friend who runs a clinic and I can sell it to him!" Tong Huaian suddenly said.
"Then how much are you giving? I have at least 30 kilograms here!" Jiang Youzhen took a look at the basket on Jiang Fugui's back, and it should be this much.
"You have just picked them, and they haven't been dried yet. It takes about five catties of Dendrobium to produce one catty of dried ones, but Dendrobium is a precious medicinal material. The price of freshly picked ones in the market is usually two taels and eight or nine qian of silver per catty. I think yours is pretty good, so I'll charge you three taels and one qian of silver per catty. I'll weigh it for you when we get back."
Jiang Youzhen did the math and found that the total was only about a hundred taels of silver, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
I took so much effort to pick them, risking my life, and carried them so heavy on my back, but in the end they were only worth a hundred taels of silver. It was such a huge loss!
However, when she thought of the treasures in the storage space, her mood suddenly improved.
"Okay! But don't blame me if you get hurt, okay? We are so familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite."
Jiang Youzhen knew that this person was willing to help him and would not give him a low price.
Tong Huaian smiled, "Then you are wrong. I never do business at a loss. When I send it to my friend's clinic, he will definitely give me more out of my respect!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You are really an expert at making money. You can make a profit from the price difference by reselling it. That's amazing!" Jiang Youzhen immediately took advantage of the situation. After all, he was helping, right?
Tong Huai'an was immediately amused by Jiang Youzhen. This kid is really capable. With this tenacity, he will have a good life in the future.
After returning, Tong Huaian quickly sent a servant to deliver the medicine and help weigh it.
"Jiang Erlang, the total is thirty-four catties. The young master said to charge you three taels and one qian per catty, which is one hundred and five taels and one qian."
The servant took out a banknote and some small change from his pocket, and Jiang Youzhen threw it into his pocket after thanking him. Turning around, he saw the whole family looking excited and hesitant to speak, so he didn't explain and just sent the person out.
When she came back, Si Ya couldn't help but ask. She was impatient, and when she saw that so much silver was sold, she naturally became anxious.
"Erlang, what kind of medicinal herb is so valuable? Where did you pick it? Do you have any more? Should we pick it back tonight, otherwise someone else will pick it up."
Erya was also very excited, "Yes! Why didn't you come back and ask us to come with such a valuable herb?"
"It really sold for more than one hundred taels? Is this medicinal herb so valuable? Didn't you say before that it was five cents per pound?" Jiang Fugui was very shocked. It was too easy to make money.
Gao Shuisheng, who was watching from the side, was also very surprised. No wonder Jiang Youzhen said that this medicinal herb was valuable and he must collect it back at the risk of his life. He actually sold it for more than one hundred taels of silver.
Jiang Youzhen smiled, "Don't worry, everyone. Since it's valuable, it's not that easy to pick. This herb is called Dendrobium, and it takes many years to grow. It's also very rare. Shuisheng and I were lucky to come across it, so we hurried to pick it and forgot the time. If we pick it all, where will there be any more? I guess it won't grow this big in many years."
This was just an excuse. Gao Shuisheng kept Jiang Youzhen's words in mind and did not tell the truth.
Everyone was a little disappointed, and Si Ya sighed, "If only there were more!"
"Mom, is the meal not ready yet? I'm hungry." In fact, Jiang Youzhen felt sore all over at this moment and just wanted to lie down on the bed.
He placed the banknote in front of Shen, "Mother, keep it!"
Shen pushed the money back, then glanced at her three sisters at home. Seeing that they looked normal, her expression eased a little, "You keep it yourself. We have some at home."
Jiang Youzhen did not refuse. She had her own space and it was relatively safe, so it would be fine for her to keep it for herself.
"Okay, okay, are you hungry? Eat quickly!" Shen found that Jiang Youzhen looked a little tired, and hurriedly called for the dishes.
Jiang Youzhen saw Erya serving another portion to the three Gao family members, so he said, "Give more! We are not evil people. We don't want to starve others. We are not the Lord Wang of our village."
Erya immediately responded happily, she knew that Erlang was a soft-hearted person.
Jiang Youzhen and Gao Shuisheng ate the meal ravenously. They were really hungry. It took a lot of energy to climb up such a high tiankeng.
Shen's eyes swept over the back of Jiang Youzhen's hand hidden under his sleeve, and said to Erya, "Boil some hot water for Erlang and the others later. They've been exposed to the mountain breeze all day, so they should take a shower and warm themselves up before going to bed."
"Brother Huai'an brought some medicine to keep out the cold. Shuisheng and I will drink some later to prevent ourselves from catching a cold." Jiang Youzhen felt like his whole body was falling apart and his head was a little painful. He must have caught a cold.
It was late at night, and Shen tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She groped her way out in the dark, lit the oil lamp and went to Jiang Youzhen's room.
Jiang Youzhen was sleeping soundly. She touched Jiang Youzhen's forehead and found that he didn't have a fever, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I opened Jiang Youzhen's collar and found a large black spot on her shoulder. I raised her hand again and saw that the back of her hand and wrist were all scratched. I think she had applied medicine, and there was a faint scent of ointment.
After staring at Jiang Youzhen for a long while, she returned to her room. Jiang Fugui also woke up. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever?"
Shen's voice was muffled, "No."
"Then go to sleep!" Jiang Fugui turned around and was about to sleep, but heard Shen's voice again.
"When I was a child, I heard an old herbalist in our village say that when he was young, he accidentally entered a cave. There were precious medicinal herbs there, but they were all growing on cliffs. He couldn't pick them and could only watch them. This was his lifelong regret. He was poor all his life and regretted why he didn't try it at the time. But he was afraid of death, so he didn't dare to pick them."
