Chapter 369 Second Uncle’s Private Money
"There are old ginseng in the medical clinic, but not century-old ginseng."
Wang Jingzhi looked helpless.
"No?" Nanzhi was a little surprised. Jihetang is the largest medical clinic in Yancheng. If there is no century-old ginseng here, she really doesn't know where to find it.
"Originally, there was one. A month ago, I received a letter from Kyoto, saying that the official in Kyoto wanted it, so I had it sent over. Now there is only one 60-year-old ginseng in the hospital."
Xiao Yuanbao's face turned a little pale. She slipped out this time just to buy old ginseng. If she couldn't buy old ginseng, Yueyue wouldn't be able to cure her disease...
Thinking of the consequences, the little baby felt uncomfortable for a while. She knew she couldn't cry outside, so she just bit her lips to prevent herself from crying.
"Jingzhi, do you know where I can find old ginseng?"
Seeing the little girl's sadness, Nanzhi asked again.
"You can go to the pawn shop and have a look. There may be some goods there, but the price will be higher."
Wang Jingzhi suggested, and then added: "The century-old ginseng medicine shop sells it for ninety taels. If it is a pawn shop, it may sell for one hundred and fifty taels."
"So expensive?"
Sun Cui smacked his lips, a little surprised.
Ninety taels can buy a small house, and one hundred and fifty taels can buy a shop.
"Old ginseng has a price but no market. Most wealthy people like to buy some and keep them in their warehouses for emergencies. Very few of them can be circulated on the market."
After listening to Wang Jingzhi's words, Nanzhi nodded.
Indeed it is.
On the surface, she can now earn three hundred taels a month, but a piece of clothing from a truly powerful person can be used as her hard-earned money for a month. She wants to lead her family to live that kind of life, but she has to work harder.
After bidding farewell to Wang Jingzhi, Nanzhi took Sun Cui and Yuan Bao to the pawn shop.
The pawn shop clerk had been to Sanweiju for dinner and recognized Nanzhi. When he saw her coming in, his eyes lit up and he welcomed them inside and sat down.
"Dragon Lin's family? Don't you know why you came to our place?"
"Want to come and buy some things."
Nanzhi smiled at him and explained his purpose.
This Juhe Pawnshop is also the largest in Yancheng. If he doesn't have Lao Shen here, he may have no choice.
"I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to buy?"
As soon as he heard that he was here to buy something, the waiter almost burst into laughter and quickly poured tea for the three of them.
"I don't know if there is a thousand-year-old ginseng."
Nanzhi took the tea cup and said.
Sun Cui knew that her sister-in-law wanted to bargain, but Yuan Bao was confused.
Aren’t they the ginseng we bought for a hundred years?
Why did Aniang say thousand years?
The little girl's head was filled with questions, but she didn't ask them immediately. She just sat there obediently.
The guy opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Thousands of years of ginseng?"
Nanzhi nodded seriously.
"Dong Lin, we don't have this thousand-year-old ginseng in our store. Even if someone comes to pawn it, goods like this will be sent to the capital as soon as possible."
the guy whispered.
Nanzhi looked disappointed, as if he was thinking, and then asked again: "How old are the ginsengs?"
The guy was relieved when he heard this.
It sounds like you can do business.
"There is still one three-hundred-year-old ginseng in the shop, one that is two hundred and ten years old, and one that is about to be one hundred years old. The rest are goods that are twenty or thirty years old."
Nanzhi nodded and asked the waiter to take out the things and take a look.
The waiter was so happy that he had two plates of pastries brought over, and he went upstairs to find the steward.
The shopkeeper is not here today. If it were placed on someone else, they would not let anyone see the actual product. After all, ginseng is no better than other antique jade.
But he knew that Mr. Lin knew that a woman who could not only buy a restaurant as big as Sanweiju, but also sell the fennel that cost a few taels of silver a pound for a penny a bunch, must have a good background.
Even if she dropped the ginseng and smashed it, she could still afford the compensation.
Looking at the pastries that were served, Nanzhi just smiled and let Yuan Bao eat them.
"Fat Ya, can you do it?"
Although Sun Cui knew that Nanzhi wanted to bargain, she was worried that something would happen.
And Jingzhi just said that the century-old ginseng in the pawn shop would only cost one hundred and fifty taels.
She was only worried that she didn't have enough money.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know it well." Nanzhi gave her a reassuring look and asked a boy to pour a glass of warm water for Sun Cui.
It is best for women during pregnancy to drink less tea.
"Yuanbao, how much silver did you bring out?"
Nanzhi held a handkerchief and wiped the pastry from the corner of the little girl's mouth, and asked softly.
When Little Yuanbao heard this, he swallowed the last bite of pastry, then clapped his little hands and started to take out his pocket.
There was a small pocket inside her clothes, which could be used to store candy. When she left, she hid all the money in the small pocket.
As the little kid took it out one by one, the silver was mixed with a few gold coins.
"Auntie, I have so much money."
The little baby pushed a small pile of silver in front of Nanzhi and asked with a serious look on his face: "Mom, is this enough money?"
She brought all her New Year's money, as well as her second uncle's private money hidden under the bed and on the floor.
The second uncle lied to her every year and said that she would give him money and he would come back from the mountain to bring him candied haws.
When she was a child, she didn't know. She only thought that the candied haws brought back by her second uncle was not delicious, but her father would not let her go down the mountain, so she could only give her second uncle a silver coin every time she wanted to eat it.
Later she found out.
Every time her second uncle cheated her out of her New Year's money, he would go to the back mountain to pick wild hawthorns, then just skewer them and wrap them in some candy before returning to the village.
This time I dig out all his private money and let him find it!
The little girl thought angrily.
Nanzhi and Sun Cui looked at the silver that the little girl took out. With the few gold dimes, it was worth seventy or eighty taels.
"Yuanbao, how come you have so much money?" Nanzhi clicked his tongue.
"It's my New Year's money and my second uncle's personal money."
The little girl said with a smile.
She knew that ginseng was very expensive, so she dug out all her second uncle's private money.
Nanzhi and Sun Cui looked at each other, feeling a moment of silence for the second master of Qingfeng Village.
The second master in Qingfeng Village, who was grinding medicine, suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose and sneezed uncontrollably.
The next second, white medicinal powders flew up one after another, and before the second master could react, the person fainted.
Xiao Qi's face was livid now.
Yuan Bao has not seen anyone for six days.
The eldest son went to the village and has not come back yet. Yueyue has become even more seriously ill. But at this time, the little girl disappeared...
Xiao Qi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tighter while looking at Yueyue who was unconscious on the bed.
Why can't that little girl be better?
