But to achieve this, money is needed. In the past, most of the money earned from selling fish was handed over to the market owner. He could only have a pitiful small part left. Now he can directly supply goods to Jufulou. He was originally supposed to go to the market. How could he suppress the ecstasy in his heart when he could keep the money he gave to the market owner.
The purchasing manager in the kitchen called for people to come forward and unload everything from the oxcart. He carried two bean sprouts and was about to weigh them, but Xu Changqing waved his hand and said, "No need to weigh it. It's just ten pounds. Go get thirty taels." Give the silver note to Miss Xia, and from now on, Bi Sanxi will receive three taels of silver per catty."
The purchasing manager didn't know how much profit Bi Sanxi would make after being made into a dish. It was just a wild vegetable that was sold for a high price of three taels of silver per catty. This surprised him, but this was directly said by the owner, so he naturally didn't agree. He was stupid enough to question anything, so he hurriedly turned around and went to the accounting room, and took out thirty taels of silver notes as Xu Changqing said. They were all small-denomination notes of twelve taels, which was exactly what Yuan Qiu wanted.
Uncle Zhang thought at first that he had heard something wrong, and wondered how there could be wild vegetables worth three taels of silver per catty. This was absolutely impossible, but it was not until the purchasing manager handed Yuan Qiu three 10-tael silver notes that he realized Shocking fact.
Xu Changqing personally escorted them out. He said that after choosing the site for the medicinal food building, he sent someone to ask her to take a look, and they exchanged a few words before saying goodbye.
From time to time, Uncle Zhang glanced at the empty medicinal herbs lying idle on the oxcart. He was full of doubts and wanted to ask but couldn't ask. Instead, Yuan Qiu saw him like this and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you want to ask me about this wild vegetable?" Can you buy it at such a good price?"
Uncle Zhang scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "I'm a little curious, but if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me, I understand." In this poor mountain valley, it's not easy to find a way to make money, how can you tell others casually? If it were him, he definitely wouldn't say it.
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "There is nothing bad to say. This is not an ordinary wild vegetable. It is actually a fresh medicine. It can be made into a medicinal diet for treating diseases, so it can be sold at a high price."
Uncle Zhang suddenly said: "I see. No wonder I looked at the raw vegetables and thought they were some newly grown wild vegetables."
"But Yuanqiu, how do you know this fresh medicine? You have lived in this village since you were three years old. Why have I never seen you learn to identify medicines?"
Yuan Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, what did Uncle Zhang mean? Have you lived in this village since you were three years old? What about before the age of three? Seeing that Uncle Zhang was not interested in what he was saying, she did not ask further questions. She only replied: "It's nothing strange. When I was eight years old, I went to the mountains with my father to cut firewood. I got separated from my father because of fun. At that time, we were in the woods. I met an old man with a white beard. It started to rain again. Seeing how pitiful I was, he let me stay in his house temporarily. The old man taught me how to read, how to identify medicinal herbs and some simple medical skills. It cleared up three days later. Grandpa sent me down the mountain and passed one of his medical books to me. I have been hiding at home and studying secretly for these years, and now I have achieved some success."
Uncle Zhang nodded: "It seems that there is such a thing. One year, you and your father got lost while going up the mountain. Your father asked many people in the village to go up the mountain to search all night, but they couldn't find it. After a few days, your mother I have prepared a funeral for you, but you suddenly came back, scaring your parents half to death. From then on, they never took you up the mountain again."
