Chapter 21: Selling Wild Ginseng
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The basket was placed on the ground, and the contents could be easily seen. After seeing that it was just some mulberry leaves and ordinary herbs, the boss was obviously disappointed. “It’s just some mulberry leaves. These aren’t worth much, and we are not short of them either. The other herbs are pitifully few and basically useless. Even other shops won’t buy them, what more mine.”
Hearing the boss’s words, Xia Chen and Xia Feng both looked disappointed.
Xia Chen felt a little regretful. He had thought that he could sell it for some money and not let them go through the trouble of running here. He could have a nice meal in the county, and it would be even better if there was meat.
Xia Wan smiled and took out the wild ginseng from the basket. She showed it to the owner. “I’m not selling mulberry leaves. I’m selling wild ginseng. It’s 50 years old and just dug. Please take a look, boss.”
The boss’s eyes widened as he carefully took the wild ginseng. His previous contempt had disappeared, replaced with a serious look.
Xia Chen and Xia Feng were also dumbfounded. Was there ginseng in this basket?
Oh my God. How did Xia Wan find that?
The more he looked at it, the more shocked the boss became. This wild ginseng was of very fine quality. It was authentic wild ginseng, with the roots and whiskers well preserved. Just by judging how it was dug out, it was obvious that the other party was an expert.
The boss calmed down and turned to Xia Wan, “Young lady, who dug this up?”
“I did, boss. What do you think?” Xia Wan smiled. “Is it well preserved?”
The boss actually wanted to say that it wasn’t just good... it was simply wonderful!
However, he didn’t believe Xia Wan and even stared at her suspiciously. “You dug it? You’re so young. How did you know how to dig for wild ginseng? Young lady, lying is not a good habit.”
Seeing that the boss didn’t believe them, Xia Chen and Xia Feng were a little unhappy. Since Xia Wan said she found the ginseng, then it must be her. No one else in the family had the ability to do so.
Xia Wan was not in a hurry and slowly explained, “Digging wild ginseng isn’t that difficult. As long as you know its structure and be cautious when you dig, you can just get it out slowly with your hands. I didn’t bring any tools with me at that time, so I only used my hands.”
As she spoke, she showed her hands to the boss. The skin under her nails was slightly purple and swollen.
Seeing this, Xia Chen and Xia Feng both felt sorry for her.
“Wanwan, let me do such damaging things in the future. You’re a girl. You have to protect your hands,” Xia Chen couldn’t help but .
Xia Wan looked at Xia Chen and comforted him, “It’s okay, brother. I wasn’t prepared this time. Finding the wild ginseng was purely an accident. I’ll bring more things up the mountain in the future.”
She had only wanted some mulberry leaves and had not expected to find ginseng. When compared to getting the ginseng, however, the small injuries on her fingers were nothing.
The boss saw that the two of them didn’t seem to be lying when they spoke, so he was half-convinced. However, it was ginseng after all, and the price wasn’t low. He still had to check it carefully. So, he relented a little. “Let me check first.”
“Okay, no problem,” Xia Wan said with a smile.
About five minutes later, the boss finished the examination.
Xia Wan knew that it was time to bargain.
The boss put on a very serious expression and began to bid, “Here’s the thing, girl. Your wild ginseng is indeed fifty years old, and there’s no problem with its origin. How about this, I’ll give you three thousand yuan.
“3000!” Xia Chen and Xia Feng’s mouths dropped wide open in disbelief.
Oh my God, wild ginseng that actually sold for 3000 yuan?!
It was their entire family’s annual income.
At that time, Xia Chen and Xia Feng were 20 and 13 years old, respectively. 3000 yuan was a huge sum of money to them.
Even if it was 300 or 30 yuan, they would be happy for a long time, let alone 3000 yuan.
However, the boss had said it himself. It was 3000 yuan!
Seeing Xia Chen and Xia Feng’s shock, the owner couldn’t help but wonder if the price he gave was a little too high. He looked at the two silly boys, who obviously knew nothing about how much ginseng was worth.
