Chapter 394 Selling Ginseng
Tongrentang is decorated with antique Chinese wooden decoration. On the left side of the house is a glass counter, with various secondary, medicinal wine and some packaged supplements. On the right are wooden cabinets from top to bottom, drawers after drawers, with Chinese medicine names pasted outside. There are kraft paper and small marks on the wooden counter, and a wooden table in the middle. There is also an old doctor in his sixties sitting. Looking at the pulse pillow in front of him, this is an old Chinese doctor. The whole pharmacy is filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. When he smells the familiar smell, An Xia takes a deep breath.
The old doctor looked up at the little girl who came in. Her eyes were particularly bright and her color looked good. She was a little thin. "Miss, do you want to treat a doctor or take medicine?"
An Xia looked around and found that apart from this doctor, there were only two young guys in this pharmacy and he didn't see anyone in charge.
The old doctor felt strange. The little girl came in and didn't answer questions, so she looked around. He was alert. Not only did he come to mess with the crime, he had encountered this incident before. After taking the medicine, there were many people who were not cured of the illness and making a refund.
"Sir, do you have someone in charge here?"
The old doctor's expression was slightly cold, "Why are you looking for a manager? I am the doctor in this store and I am also the second shopkeeper. I will tell me if you have anything to do."
Seeing that the old Chinese doctor in front of him became colder and his tone became indifferent, did An Xia treat himself as a cause for trouble?
She walked up to the old Chinese doctor and whispered: "Old sir, I'm not here to cause trouble. I want to sell medicinal materials, but I don't know if I'll collect them?"
Selling medicinal materials? The old doctor raised his head and looked at An Xia's clothes. His clothes were quite old. The canvas bags that the girl carried were washed white. It seemed that the girl's family was not in good condition. He often encountered people selling medicinal materials. Most of them were rural people. Some bought centipedes they caught, and some sold some herbs picked from the mountains. Seeing the little girl in front of him was covering her canvas bag, it was estimated that the medicinal materials were in her bag.
"Little girl, please sit down. Can you take it out and see what you sell?"
An Xia sat on the chair opposite the old Chinese doctor, a little wary, "Can you make the decision? My things are quite expensive."
The old Chinese doctor became interested. Could it be that he had dug up Niu Bao, which is the beef yellow in Chinese medicine? "Little girl, I can make the decision. Unless your things are too expensive, I will invite the shopkeeper to come. Don't worry, our Tongrentang is a time-honored brand for hundreds of years and will never do anything to force buying and selling."
An Xia was a little worried, "Then no matter what I sell, can you keep it a secret for me? I don't want to be disturbed."
The old Chinese doctor showed a bit of caution on his face. He looked at An Xia carefully. Could it be that this girl's family was in good condition before, but her family was lost? It is really possible that this girl is generous, with good temperament and appearance, but she is thin. Maybe she was born in a big family. Such a family has good things in her hands and will not sell them unless they have to. So after the sale, they also hope that the buyer will keep it confidential because they can't afford to lose this person.
"Don't worry, if you need it, we can keep it confidential. Can you let me see what you sell?"
An Xia felt relieved. There was no other way at this moment. After all, this was a time-honored pharmacy, which was safer than a small pharmacy. She slowly took out a plastic bag from her bag, and the old Chinese doctor stared at the bag in her hand.
"I want to sell an old ginseng, pure wild, for thirty years."
"Ginseng?" The old Chinese doctor's eyes lit up. This is a good thing, wild, and the year is not short. He just doesn't know the quality of this ginseng. Although there are also wild ginseng on the market for thirty years, there are not many. There are only a hundred roots every year. Ginseng is different from others. Even if it is artificially planted, it takes more than five years to produce ginseng, and it grows slowly. The land for planting ginseng can't be used anymore. Ginseng seems to have absorbed all the nutrients from the land. If it doesn't grow for three or five years, the land will not be able to be stable.
Therefore, ginseng cultivation has been growing for a long time and has invested a lot. There are not many ginseng planted on the market for thirty years, let alone wild ginseng that is digging one less for thirty years. The yield in recent years is obviously not as good as before. I didn’t expect that this little girl actually has wild ginseng in her hand.
"Little girl, can I see it?"
An Xia pushed the bag forward, and the old doctor was a little confused. The thirty-year-old ginseng didn't put it in a box. If he touched a ginseng beard, the price would be greatly reduced. He felt a little heartbroken and opened the bag carefully. A strong smell of ginseng came to his nose. Just by looking at it, the old Chinese doctor was excited.
This is the old ginseng and wild ginseng. The color of the skin, dense ginseng beards, wrinkles, and this full appearance. This is the best ginseng. The old Chinese doctor was a little excited, "Little girl, can I take it out and take a look?"
An Xia nodded, "Yes, but you have to be careful not to mess it up."
The old Chinese doctor was speechless, thinking that you would not be afraid of breaking it if you put a plastic bag yourself. I picked it up and saw how it would break it. But he didn't say anything. He carefully pinched the abdomen of the ginseng and slowly picked up the ginseng from the plastic bag. The full and complete ginseng appeared in front of him. The appearance and color were all the best products of wild ginseng for thirty years. He had never seen such good ginseng for many years.
"Miss, how many years has this ginseng in your family been there?"
It is not a big mistake for the old Chinese doctor to ask this question. The effect of ginseng will be lost after it has been stored for a long time. Therefore, after fresh ginseng is treated, it will be used as soon as possible to exert the maximum effect of ginseng. However, although he asked this question, the ginseng in front of him has a strong effect. Just by smelling the smell, you will know that this is a ginseng that has been less than a year. The strong ginseng taste has not faded at all.
"I don't know either, but it shouldn't be long before you can collect this ginseng?"
"Cache, let's collect." The old Chinese doctor called a young man and took a wooden box. He carefully put the ginseng in, "Little girl, can I go inside and talk?"
An Xia was not afraid either. She put away the plastic bag and put it back in her bag, "You lead the way."
Then An Xia came to the room behind the pharmacy. It was exactly the same as the TV series "The House" she had watched before. It was still decorated in traditional Chinese style. After he went in, the old Chinese doctor called someone to make tea and dim sum, and the old Chinese doctor called and said that he was asking the shopkeeper to come and have a look.
Soon, three plates of snacks were placed in front of An Xia, one plate of peach pastry, one plate of trough cake, and one plate that is very rare in Wuhan City, a typical northern typical date pastry pastry, and a cup of green tea.
After the call, the old Chinese doctor confronted An Xiake and said that the shopkeeper would arrive in ten minutes and asked An Xia to have some snacks and drink some hot tea first.
An Xia thanked him, picked up a piece of date paste and smiled and said, "This snack is rare in Wu City, but there are many in the imperial capital."
The old Chinese doctor didn't expect that An Xia still had this knowledge. Has he been to the imperial capital?
