Chapter 96: Shrewd Girl
Chapter 96 Smart Girl
Gu Yunjiao took this out because she was running out of money. The shopkeeper Musk King had already bought more than a dozen grams, and she definitely couldn’t eat it. This small county in ancient times had a small population and extremely limited purchasing power.
After thinking about it, she simply took this ginseng out to prepare for the opening of a pharmacy in Fucheng after the new year.
She saw Shopkeeper Wang’s hand trembling, “Really fifty years?”
Gu Yunjiao nodded, “You can see how dense the reed bowls you are looking at, you can count them slowly.”
Shopkeeper Wang had planned to count, but he was embarrassed just now. Hearing what Gu Yunjiao said, he took the ginseng and walked to the back patio.
After counting to fifty-two, shopkeeper Wang no longer had any doubts about the age of this ginseng, but soon became worried again.
Ginseng aged more than 50 years is naturally a good thing, and he wants to win it, but it costs a lot of money.
Besides, Gu Yunjiao is the daughter of Doctor Gu. First, he is not good at cheating the daughter of an old friend. Second, Gu Yunjiao is obviously knowledgeable.
Shopkeeper Wang hesitated for a while, “Well, my money is a little tight right now, or—”
Gu Yunjiao stretched out her hand with a smile, “Forget it, then I’ll find a buyer when I go to Fucheng.”
Shopkeeper Wang hugged the brocade box and was reluctant to let go, “Don’t worry, wait for me to think about it.”
Gu Yunjiao smiled, “If you really want it, you can make a price and sell it to you if it suits you.”
Shopkeeper Wang hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, “Then, five hundred taels of silver?”
Gu Yunjiao looked at him silently.
Shopkeeper Wang laughed dryly, “Five hundred taels of silver is definitely not enough.”
“Six hundred taels?”
He looked at Gu Yunjiao’s face, “Six hundred taels seems to be less.”
Gu Yunjiao just looked at him lightly, expressionless and motionless.
Shopkeeper Wang felt extremely distressed, “How about seven hundred taels?”
When he looked at Gu Yunjiao, his expression remained unchanged, and he was about to go crazy!
This little girl, how can she be so calm!
His eyes flicked back and forth between ginseng and Gu Yunjiao for several times, and finally his heart sank and he gritted his teeth, “Eight hundred taels, I don’t want any more!”
Gu Yunjiao smiled at Shopkeeper Wang, “Yes, then it’s up to Shopkeeper Wang, eight hundred taels.”
Shopkeeper Wang was so distressed, “You girl, you are a hundred times smarter than your father!”
“Oh, my heart is so uncomfortable, I can tell you this little girl to hold it today.”
Gu Yunjiao just smiled.
Shopkeeper Wang handed the brocade box to her, “Wait, I’ll go find my mother-in-law to get the silver.”
He took a few steps, then stopped again, “I’ll give you a 500 tael, a 200 tael bill, and another 100 tael in cash, do you think?”
Gu Yunjiao nodded.
Shopkeeper Wang crossed the patio and entered.
Gu Yunjiao was standing alone in the patio.
Shopkeeper Wang came back after going to a cup of tea.
He waved to Gu Yunjiao, opened a door and walked in.
Gu Yunjiao followed and placed the brocade box on the table.
Shopkeeper Wang opened it again to inspect the goods, and then handed over two silver notes and a bag of silver to Gu Yunjiao.
He said with a serious face: “You little girl, you have a lot of money, but you must be careful. It is important to know that people who are separated from each other, even those who are familiar with it, can’t tell it at will.”
Gu Yunjiao nodded, put the silver note in her arms, carried the one hundred taels of silver in her hand, and greeted the shopkeeper Wang with a deep blessing, “Thank you, Uncle Wang.”
“Also, please keep this matter a secret, no one can say it.”
Shopkeeper Wang nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll save it.”
