The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 13 Selling Ginseng

Fang Mrs. bowed to express her thanks, held up the mung bean cake and handed it to Gu Huayu, gesturing for her to eat it.

Gu Huayu reached for a piece of mung bean cake and bit it slowly.

　　Fang put back the saucer, picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip of tea.

Shopkeeper Hu asked: "The second younger brother and sister are here to get medicine for the third younger brother and sister?"

Fang smiled and nodded, "Well, this is one of them. This time, I have one more thing to trouble Shopkeeper Hu."

"Oh, what's the matter? It's okay, my second brother and sister, but I can't bear the word "trouble"." Shopkeeper Hu put down the tea cup and looked at Mrs. Fang and said.

Fang Shi was not polite and said bluntly: "That's right, Xiaoyu found a ginseng root in the mountains a few days ago and would like to ask shopkeeper Hu to take a look at it."

Shopkeeper Hu's eyes lit up, he straightened up and said, "Oh! Really? Where are the things? Have you brought them?"

　　Fang nodded, "Yeah, I brought it." After saying that, Fang motioned to Gu Huayu to take out the ginseng.

Gu Huayu hurriedly stuffed the mung bean cake in her hand into her mouth, patted the Momo on her hand, took out the ginseng from her sleeve pocket, and held it out with both hands. "

 Gu Huayu saw Shopkeeper Hu’s overjoyed expression and knew that he knew the goods.

Fang asked: "Shopkeeper Hu, please take a look at this ginseng. Is it okay?"

Shopkeeper Hu stared at the ginseng and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, that's good ginseng."

When Mrs. Fang heard this, she felt happy, and then asked: "Then I want to ask, if it is sold, how much silver can this ginseng be sold for?"

Shopkeeper Hu blurted out: "If such a good ginseng is sold, it will not be less than this amount."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Hu raised a finger.

Fang asked tentatively: "Ten taels of silver?"

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head, "Not just."

"That's one hundred taels?" Fang stood up in shock, her voice trembling. His eyes looked at the ginseng in Shopkeeper Hu’s hand, which was not much bigger than his thumb, with roots and whiskers.

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head again, "Not only that, this ginseng should be more than a hundred years old. Such a good ginseng is worth at least a thousand taels."

Fang swayed in shock. Gu Huayu hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her and warned: "Second uncle, be careful."

Gu Huayu helped Fang sit down and quickly calculated in her mind how much one thousand taels of silver would be converted into RMB.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Fang and Gu Huayu and asked, "Are you really planning to sell it?"

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Yeah."

Shopkeeper Hu asked with twinkling eyes: "Can I sell it to my uncle?"

"Of course, I got this ginseng by chance. I'm grateful to Uncle Hu for giving Xiaoyu his eyes. In this way, I sold this ginseng to Uncle Hu for eight hundred taels of silver." Gu Huayu replied cheerfully.

“I can’t do it, I can’t do it, you can think of me for such a good ginseng. I’m already very grateful. How can I take advantage of you again?” Shopkeeper Hu said hurriedly.

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Uncle Hu, don't worry, let Xiaoyu finish what he said first. Uncle and dad are close friends, and what he tells us is all the truth.

 This ginseng can only be sold at this price if it is taken to the uncle's shop.

If you go to another shop, it will be a big deal if others can offer you three hundred taels of silver.

Furthermore, in the future, we will go up the mountain to collect medicinal materials and sell them to Uncle Hu. From now on, we will have to rely on Uncle Hu for a lot of time. "

Fang was heartbroken because Gu Huayu lost two hundred taels of silver. After hearing what Gu Huayu said, she felt that she was very reasonable.

 “But this…”

Gu Huayu didn't wait for shopkeeper Hu to finish speaking, then interrupted him, "Uncle Hu, don't be embarrassed, let's make an agreement.

 This ginseng was originally obtained by chance, and it was already a stroke of luck for our family.

Besides, this ginseng can be of greater use in Uncle Hu's hands. It would be a waste of natural resources if it were left in my house. "
