When Pi Qinghua saw the middle-aged man's puzzled look, he immediately tensed up. Could it be that these Magnolia officinalis peels were not real? Or were their medicinal effects much worse
Instead, he heard the middle-aged man say with a smile on his face: "You brought me Magnolia officinalis from several suppliers, right? Tsk tsk, the quality of these Magnolia officinalis barks varies, and the prices charged are naturally different. There are a few with good quality here, I'll tell you the price. If you think it's okay, you can ask those suppliers to come to us."
As he said this, the middle-aged uncle first picked up a thin, skinny and small Magnolia officinalis peel with his fingers. This Magnolia officinalis peel was the second time Pi Qinghua drew it. The uncle had a look of disdain on his face: "This one is not of good quality, not big, and thin. You can tell from the smell that the medicinal effect is not very good. So its price must be the lowest. If it is like this, you are lucky to get ten yuan per pound."
After he finished speaking, he reached out and picked up a pile of smaller ones, pointing at them and saying, "This small pile is average quality, estimated to be around 13 or 14 yuan per pound." Then he pointed to another pile that was slightly larger and said, "This pile is pretty good quality. It can be sold for 15 or 16 yuan per pound."
At this time, Pi Qinghua's eyes were already filled with a faint smile. This was a result that satisfied him. If he painted again tomorrow, he should be able to paint 4.5 kilograms of Magnolia officinalis, which was of medium to high quality and weighed 15 or 16 kilograms. With this calculation, he could make at least 65 or 70 yuan a day.
It's really good.
However, the middle-aged uncle obviously had not yet said the main point. He finally carefully picked up the last large, thick, and dark-colored Magnolia officinalis bark that Pi Qinghua had drawn. He said, "I can talk to you so much because of this Magnolia officinalis bark. Compared with the previous ones, this one can be considered the best. I don't know who you got it from, but I can be sure that the Magnolia officinalis tree that produced this Magnolia officinalis bark is at least a hundred years old. Things that are a hundred years old are naturally the best. If you can get me Magnolia officinalis bark of this quality, I will charge you one hundred for one pound. This piece alone weighs almost half a pound, so I can give you fifty now."
Pi Qinghua's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but the little wolf next to him suddenly widened his eyes. He looked at the last piece of Magnolia officinalis bark as if he was looking at a fragrant roasted suckling pig. Even the male god's expressionless face couldn't hold it back.
Pi Qinghua was quickly calculating how many Magnolia officinalis peels he could draw in a day. Finally, he carefully estimated that he could only draw two kilograms. But even so, he could earn two hundred yuan a day. That's six thousand a month.
"…Thanks, devil." Pi Qinghua finally muttered to himself, while Xiao Langzi clasped his hands together and bowed with a very serious expression. If it weren't for the fact that this little guy had a very handsome face, the middle-aged uncle would probably have thought that the two people in front of him were lunatics.
"Well, uncle, you see, I can collect about 4.5 kilograms of medium and high-quality Magnolia officinalis bark every day, and 45 kilograms in ten days. My family collects and cuts them right away and then processes them carefully. If I deliver to your house, can I deliver them every ten days? Although it's a bit frequent, the advantage is that the herbs are fresh and have good efficacy. I guarantee that you will have more and more repeat customers."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "Why don't you go to another store to ask about the price? Aren't you afraid that I'll rip you off?"
Pi Qinghua's eyes curved when he heard this: "I originally came here to find a pharmacy that I liked. Since I came to your place, it must be fate. What's more, you explained it to me very clearly. This is your kindness. If I doubt it, I would be ungrateful."
The middle-aged man was obviously very satisfied with this statement, and a smile appeared on his serious face. "My Anran Pharmacy is one of the best stores in the entire Pharmacy Street. Even the high-ranking officials and wealthy people in the country will come here to buy medicine. If the goods sold by the guy selling Magnolia Bark had not been getting worse and worse these days, you would not have this opportunity. Moreover, I rarely come to sit in the hall once a month. It is really fate that you meet me. Okay, you can call me Uncle An from now on. This is my business card. Deliver Magnolia Bark to my shop once every ten days. Well, if there are repeat customers who say good things about it in the future as you said, I can raise the price for you." As he said this, the expression on Uncle An's face became serious again: "Huh, what is money? You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. But since you are a medicine maker, you can't cheat your life because of money. So, if your medicinal materials are adulterated in the future, don't blame me for never accepting your medicine again."
Pi Qinghua also had a good impression of such a serious person, so he nodded and assured him in the same serious manner: "Don't worry, Uncle An, as long as I handle it, I will definitely not fake it. Well, but I can only receive about two kilograms of the hundred-year-old Magnolia officinalis bark in ten days, what do you think?"
Uncle An waved his hand and said, "Let's do it on a monthly basis. If you can get me 10 or 8 kilograms of it in a month, it will be enough for me. This is a good thing that is hard to come by, so don't force it."
Pi Qinghua nodded, finally letting go of his biggest concern. Then he saw that Uncle An was in a good mood, so he secretly kicked Xiao Langzhi next to him. The latter stiffened, then pouted, took a deep breath and raised his head: "Grandpa An, can you tell Xiaozhi if you also collect other tree barks? There are a lot of them in Daddy's hometown."
Uncle An was so delighted by the sweet call of Grandpa An that he rubbed the wolf cub's head and nodded: "We accept any good medicinal herbs here. Tell us what else you have? Grandpa will tell you the price."
Lang Zhi suddenly felt that sometimes being cute really worked. But this didn't mean he had to continue being cute when he grew up! However, he could say it now, but the problem was that he didn't know what else to say! So Lang Zhi looked at Pi Qinghua silently.
This action made Uncle An happy. After a long time, the kid himself didn't know what he had, but he was still eager to help his father sell the bark to make money.
Pi Qinghua coughed dryly and said, "There are also some species such as Dictamni, Acanthopanax rubra, and Feathers of the Ghost Arrow. However, there shouldn't be many of them in the near future. Maybe there will be more in a month or two."
Uncle An snorted when he heard this: "You are talking about some expensive medicinal materials, but since this is a medicine shop, we will definitely buy good medicines, but we will definitely be more stringent about the quality. If you have any goods, come and see me. If they are of medium quality or above, I will buy them all."
Pi Qinghua nodded, and he was completely confident. Apart from anything else, he could earn 2,000 yuan a month just by delivering Magnolia officinalis bark every day. If he was a little more ruthless, he could make more. For a start-up, this was enough.
"Thank you so much, Uncle An. I will go back and collect it now. I will send you 45 kilograms of Magnolia officinalis bark in ten days."
At this point, the livelihood problem of Pi Qinghua's family of three was completely solved. On the way back, Pi Qinghua was in a very good mood, and the little wolf cub Langzhi was holding Dahei and laughing, and Dahei was howling all the way, late at night, and many people were scared and sprained their ankles.
"Second father, are we going to sell our skins next?"
Pi Qinghua nodded first and then shook his head: "The skin must be painted every day, but the most important thing next is to find blood. Whether it is a human blood bag or the blood of chickens, ducks, and geese, we have to find it quickly."
The former is a promise, which may backfire and kill him. The latter is the basis of revenge, which must not be lost. Although Pi Qinghua can easily earn a million dollars a year with his education and ability, it is not enough for him to throw all those who deceived, betrayed, and murdered him into hell. Not only does he want to live well, but he also wants to see those people get the revenge they deserve, and be in agony and regret.
