My village can't be like this

Chapter 44 Selling Ginseng (Please collect and recommend)
Zhang An traveled fast and arrived in the town just in time for the bus to the county.

The current shuttle bus is not the minibus of later generations, but a van.

When Zhang An used to go to school, he would take this car to and from school, and the driver uncle knew him well.

But at that time, this asphalt road was not built, and the mountain road was used to go to the county.

It's all right now, the road has been repaired, and the bumpy bun is now driving smoothly.

In two hours, the car arrived at the passenger station in the county.

Although the memory of his youth is still there, it has been a long time since he has seen this small county town many years ago.

Although the county is not as good as later generations, the current city is much better than Hongyan Town.

Here you can see residential buildings, department stores, and even the roads are much wider than the newly built roads in Hongyan Town.

There are also many cars running back and forth on the road.

Speaking of selling ginseng, Zhang An asked the second grandfather.

If you don't meet rich people in the town, you will basically not be able to sell it at any price.

So Mr. Zhang recommended Zhang An to come to the county to find a traditional Chinese medicine hall.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall is a traditional Chinese medicine shop that has been open for a long time, and it has a good reputation nearby.

Zhang Erye used to dig up the best treasures and took them there to exchange money.

Following the road pointed by the second master, Zhang An got on the bus to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.

After getting off the car, Zhang An discovered that the Chinese Medicine Hall was originally opened in the most prosperous area in the county.

This area is basically residential areas and commercial streets, there are no office buildings or the like.

There are a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the road, which is a flow of people that I have never seen in my previous life.

Go up the flyover, cross the road and look for it.

Finally, I found this quaint Chinese medicine shop on a quiet pedestrian street.

Hanging on the door is a plaque with three big characters of traditional Chinese medicine hall in italics.

When Zhang An walked in, there were still a few people in the shop grabbing medicine.

Zhang An walked towards a middle-aged man in his 30s.

After seeing Zhang An enter the shop, he warmly stepped forward to greet Zhang An,

"Brother, do you need medicine? Do you have a prescription in your hand, or do you need consultation."

The elder brother is very polite and polite.

"I'll take a look around first." Seeing that there were still a few people grabbing medicine on the other side, Zhang An turned around in the store.

"Brother, take a look first, I'll be by the side, if you need anything, you can call me."

Obviously, Zhang An's situation is not the first time the other party has encountered it.

After shopping around for a while, the people who were grabbing the medicine next to me all left.

Zhang An stepped forward to find the eldest brother just now.

"Brother, I heard from the elders in the family that your traditional Chinese medicine hall still buys medicinal materials, can I meet your shopkeeper?"

It is obvious that the person in front of him is not the shopkeeper of the Chinese medicine hall, because the second grandfather said that the shopkeeper of the Chinese medicine hall is an old man who is much older than him.

"Oh, brother, is there any medicinal material that needs to be sold? For general medicinal materials, we can make decisions by ourselves, and we will definitely give brother a satisfactory price."

Seeing what the other party meant, if the medicinal materials were ordinary, the old shopkeeper would not be alarmed.

Also, if the old shopkeeper had to come out to receive every person who came, then the old man might not be too busy.

"I want to sell ginseng sticks, which have just been dug out, so I hope to meet the old shopkeeper."

After Zhang An finished speaking, he opened the bamboo box containing the old ginseng in his pocket, and showed the other party a look.

After the other party saw it, he hurriedly said, "Brother, come and sit here with me, and I'll ask grandpa and my father to come out right away."

The eldest brother took Zhang An to the small hall on the second floor and sat down, then went inside.

After a while, the eldest brother from just now walked towards Zhang An following an old man with a gray beard and red hair.

"But this little brother wants to sell ginseng?"

"Yes, old man, I recently dug up an old ginseng tree at home. The old man at home said that the old shopkeeper of the traditional Chinese medicine hall treats people honestly and will give you a good price, so I came to have a look today."

Zhang An opened the bamboo box and placed it on the table so that the old man could see it.

"Oh? My old man also knows the old man in my little brother's house? Besides, my little brother's appearance is familiar to me. He looks like a customer who often came to my shop in the early years."

Could it be that the other party is talking about his second grandfather?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "My little brother is surnamed Zhang, from Changqing Village."

It seems that the other party should think of Zhang Erye.

"The old man guessed right. My name is Zhang An. I'm from Changqing Village. Old man Zhang Tiansong is my second grandfather."

"It turned out to be the descendant of Mr. Zhang. No wonder he looks so similar. Mr. Zhang was a frequent customer in my shop in the early years. It's just that I haven't seen him in recent years. How is his health?"

Then he realized something was missing, and turned his head to the young elder brother and said, "Shi Ze, pour tea for this little brother Zhang."

"Second grandfather is in good health, and he can still walk naturally in the mountains, but he has been at home all these years."

Then the old shopkeeper took a fancy to the old ginseng brought by Zhang An.

The ginseng body is thick and slender, although Zhang An has cut off a few roots.

But after putting it in the space later, it is no longer possible to see the traces of digging.

"Brother, this ginseng is indeed a rare treasure, so what kind of price do you want?"

After some identification, the old man put the ginseng back into the bamboo box and started talking with Zhang An.

"My second grandfather said that I believe the old shopkeeper will give a price worthy of it."

Zhang An replied to the old man with a smile, if the price he gave met his expectations, then he would sell, if the price difference was too much, then he would change places at worst.

"Hahaha, Second Master Zhang is commanding my army again, no matter what, it's still the same after so many years."

"This ginseng is indeed of a certain age. It should be more than five leaves. If I guess correctly, it started at least 20 years ago. It is much better than the ones brought by Zhang Erye in the early years."

After the old man finished speaking, Zhang An took out the upper half of the old ginseng branch from the bag and showed it to the other party.

"Last year, a man from the mountains came to me to sell ginseng. Although the age limit was more than 20 years, the ginseng body couldn't compare with what you brought. In the end, I paid [-] yuan to buy it. Today, just relying on Your Zhang family’s profound source of blessing, I want to accept this ginseng at a price of [-], and treat it as a close relationship with the Zhang family, what do you think of it, little brother.”

For [-] yuan, Zhang An was still very surprised at this price. He thought it would be worth [-] to [-] yuan at most.

After all, the current money is still very valuable, and the purchasing power is very strong.

"Then thank the old shopkeeper, the second grandfather is right, your boss will definitely give it a price worthy of it."

The transaction is completed, and the two parties enter the stage of mutual flattery.

"To be honest, this ginseng plant is the best I have seen in so many years, not one of them."

In fact, Zhang An buried it in the space overnight, and it was indeed better than before.

After passing, the young elder brother came over with five bundles of hundred-yuan bills and a money counter.

Counted in front of Zhang An.

"Boy Zhang, here is a total of [-] yuan. You can confirm it. If there is no problem, we will pay both money and goods."

Zhang An confirmed that there was no problem, so he put the money in the bag, which had already been put into the space.

It is not safe to walk with so much money on the road, and it is safer to put it in space than to put it anywhere.

After the transaction was completed, although the other party did not urge customers, Zhang An offered to leave after chatting with the old man.
