Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 15 No.15: Knowing the goods

When the old Yuan heard this, he quickly responded, put the winter melon in the basket, hooked the basket and weighed it, and then went to the weight of the basket. See if you want some more?"

"Ten catties of mountain fungus, too." The steward nodded and said again.

"Hey!" Old Yuan grabbed the mountain fungus again and said.

After everyone agreed, Song Qiu helped to pack it into the boy's back basket.

The steward counted 43 copper coins and paid it off, but he still couldn't help but tell him, "Next time I have chicken fir fungus, you must keep it for me!"

Seeing the steward's attitude towards Xiqi Shanhuo, Song Qiu couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows. Seeing that the stalls on both sides were unknown, and they were busy, she didn't pay attention to this side, so she called the steward to stop.

"There is no chicken fir fungus, but I picked up some rare fungi on the mountain yesterday, sir, would you like to take a look?"

As she said that, she took out one of the morel mushrooms that were covered in the small back basket, and spread it out for the steward to see, without first saying what it was, just to see if the steward knew what it was, if not, she would Don't bother.

When the steward heard this, he became interested, looked over carefully, and saw the small honeycomb-shaped morel, raised his eyebrows, "Is this also a mountain fungus? I haven't seen it before."

As soon as Song Qiu heard it, he understood that the manager didn't know morel, the king of fungi, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

If you don't know, you don't understand the preciousness of this morel.

"Master doesn't know? That's fine. If you haven't seen it, don't dare to buy it. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to escape."

The manager didn't know him, and he didn't plan to buy them randomly, but somehow he became interested after hearing Song Qiu's tone, and immediately asked, "What's the name of this fungus? How do you eat it?"

Song Qiu shook his head, "I don't know, I just picked up this little bit of fungus all over the mountain. I guess it must be very rare, so I picked it up and sold it to see if anyone knows it."

This is really true, I don’t know it, how do I know that this fungus can be eaten?
What if it's a toadstool?

Listening to this, the steward secretly shook his head, didn't intend to ask any more, and turned to go to another stall.

Old Yuan couldn't help laughing, "I said this fungus is not a fungus, you still don't believe it, it seems that such an old man doesn't even know him!"

Song Qiu simply put out all ten morel mushrooms, and those who knew the goods would sell them, and those who didn't know the goods would be worth it.

"Just take a look, in case you know someone, I don't sell them casually, so don't worry about killing people."

Old Yuan Shi listened and ignored her.

One after another, people also patronized the stall and got busy.

A few loofahs and a few tender pumpkins are sold out, and a basket of mountain mushrooms is almost sold out.

But Song Qiu's handful of morels was still there, and someone asked about it, but once they heard about it and didn't know what kind of fungus it was, no one dared to buy it.

The sun began to climb up, and seeing that the morning market was about to end, old Yuan looked at the two or three catties of mushrooms left in the basket, and waited a little longer.

"There are more mountain mushrooms selling today, so the sales are slow."

This is also true, the villagers who came to the town with them today also sold mushrooms, but not as many as them.

There are other villages that sell mountain mushrooms.

Seeing that the sun was coming out, Song Qiu was afraid that the morel mushrooms would be wilted in the sun, and was about to put them away when someone stopped in front of the stall.

"What kind of bacteria is this?"

Hearing the sound, Song Qiu looked up, and saw a young man in a long gown, gentle and gentle.

"I picked it up on the mountain, and I don't know it. Do you know this big brother?"

Song Wenzhi listened, and really squatted down to pick up one and looked at it carefully.

After a while, his eyes lit up, "This is a good thing, it's a pity that you don't know the goods, little girl."

Song Qiu's heart moved, "This big brother knows what kind of bacteria this is?"

"I'm from Tongfang Pharmacy in the town. I'm proficient in medicinal materials, so I can't help but recognize some rare things. If I think the ones you have are good, they should be morels, which are known as the king of fungi." Song Wenzhi said with a smile .

"It's rare for you to sell this ignorant person. Since I have met it, then you can sell it to me."

When Song Qiu heard it, he really knew him. This is a person who knows the goods. After waiting for so long, he really waited for the person who knows the goods. It's so gratifying!
"Okay! Since you know it, I'll sell it to you!"

Old Yuan subconsciously wanted to stop it. She didn't expect someone to buy this fungus, did she really know each other?What if there is a problem if you make a mistake and buy it back to eat?
But when this person said that he was from Tongfang Pharmacy, she knew about that pharmacy. When Ah Qiu was sick, she went to that pharmacy to get the medicine. This pharmacy had a good reputation.

You don't want to eat indiscriminately, do you?Could it be that they really knew each other?
Thinking of this, old Yuan didn't speak.

It's rare for my granddaughter to pick it up, so she'd be happy if she could buy it for two cents, wouldn't she?
Old Yuan didn't think about what kind of precious mountain product this fungus was at all, so he sold it at the same price as mountain fungus.

But what happened next made her eyes widen, and she was speechless for a while.

Song Wenzhi looked at the little girl carefully, and saw that the little girl was quite happy when he heard that he wanted to buy it. I really don't know how rare this thing is?
But yes, it’s just a little girl from the countryside, how could she know such a rare morel?I'm afraid I picked it up out of curiosity because I saw this fungus growing strangely.

If you meet other people, you can't be fooled, just give it to someone with a penny and buy it.

But Song Wenzhi couldn't do such a thing, even though the other party didn't know the value of the morel, he couldn't be fooled, could he?
Otherwise, my conscience is disturbed.

"This fungus is called a morel, little girl, how do you plan to sell it?" Although he had thought it over, Song Wenzhi had a rare joke.

"Morchella? The name is so strange! My brother knows the goods, so he also knows the selling price of this morel, right? You just say, I'll listen to you!" Song Qiu said bluntly.

She knew that the morels were worth a lot, but she didn't know the market price here. If the price was raised indiscriminately, she would lose if she made less, and make people laugh too much.

So listen to this guy.

Looking at his eyes and face, she could tell that this man was an upright gentleman, and he probably wouldn't deliberately deceive others knowing the truth.

Song Wenzhi smiled, stopped joking, and directly quoted: "This morel mushroom is rare and precious, and it is rarely sold in the market, so there is no specific price, but I have a friend who used to sell it for five taels. I bought it for a catty of silver, and the ten morels of yours probably weigh no more than two taels at most, so I’ll count them as two taels for you. How about 620 essays?"

As soon as Song Qiu heard his quotation of five taels of silver, he quickly calculated in his mind.

The market price of this dynasty, based on brown rice, is one tael of silver for one stone, and half a catty of silver can buy three hundred catties of rice. If converted to three yuan per catty of rice in later generations, three hundred catties of rice is 900 yuan , Five taels of silver is almost 3000 yuan.

But in fact, a catty in later generations is only ten taels, which is still a lot.

Later generations sold a catty of morel mushrooms for 3000 yuan, which is a big profit!

Song Qiu calculated the account clearly, and was very happy in his heart, but said on the face: "Brother said so, then let's settle it like this!"
