From the gate of heaven

Chapter 15 [Unexpected joy, a century-old ginseng]

Lin Ze is not hungry yet.

However, facing the old village chief's invitation, he still smiled and agreed, "Then excuse me."

More than 1000 catties of matsutake were packed in several big sacks, all of which were piled on the donkey cart.

A donkey can't pull such a heavy load. It was An Ye's sons who helped push the cart, so Lin Ze successfully drove the donkey cart to An Ye's yard and stopped.

An Ye's home is not very luxurious, just a few thatched huts made of wood and thatch.

But the advantage lies in the vast space.

Even if there is a donkey cart, it doesn't look crowded.

"What is the elder's order?"

In the main room, Lin Ze was greeted by An Ye to sit down.

He glanced at his donkey cart parked in the yard.

He took a bowl of tea from An Ye's daughter-in-law, but didn't drink it.

Walking outside, although he has initially established a friendly relationship with the people in the two river villages, he must be on guard against others.

And there is another problem. Although the water and soil environment in the other world has been verified by Lin Ze, it is roughly the same as that in the main world, but the hygiene habits of the ancient countryside are not very flattering.

Even if the old village head's bowl of tea is safe and non-toxic, Lin Ze is afraid that he will turn into a jet fighter after drinking it.

An Ye smiled and said: "Zi Yi, didn't you come down the mountain to buy rare medicinal materials? The old man has medicinal materials accumulated over the years at home. Let's see what price you can give."

He told his son who was standing aside to fetch the medicinal materials at home.

An Yesheng was afraid that Lin Ze would be overwhelmed, so he explained frankly: "I also ask Ziyi to forgive me, the medicinal materials are precious, and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I couldn't directly take them out last time."

According to normal circumstances, this time An Ye would not take rare medicinal materials and sell them to Lin Ze.

Even if there is a transaction, both parties must have a certain degree of trust.

It may take a year and a half for Lin Ze to establish friendship with the villagers of Lianghe Village.

However, the bones of those twelve rogue bandits made Lin Ze famous and greatly improved his credibility in the hearts of the villagers of Lianghe Village.

Now, the villagers of Lianghe Village have the impression of Lin Ze as a decent young man from a famous family.

is a reputable existence.

This is the reason why An Ye chose to sell the rare medicinal materials to Lin Ze at this time.
-
Soon, An Ye's son came back, opened a soft cloth bag and placed it in front of Lin Ze.

"Century-old ginseng?"

Lin Ze looked at the medicinal material in the soft cloth bag, which was an old ginseng that was close to a human shape, and said in surprise.

To be honest, his acquisition of rare medicinal materials was just an excuse for his activities in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't expect to make money by purchasing and reselling rare medicinal materials.

In the main world, a gram of century-old ginseng costs about 10 yuan, and a normal century-old ginseng weighs 500 to [-] grams after drying, and the modern price is [-] to [-] million yuan.

According to its weight, the market price of a hundred-year-old ginseng in this world is between 800 taels and 1000 taels of silver.

The price of one gram of silver is about 5.2 yuan, and 1000 taels of silver is 26 yuan. Reselling century-old ginseng is only more than ten times the profit.

This profit rate is not as good as selling sugar, and the number of century-old ginseng is extremely rare.

If the trade between the two worlds was pointing at this to make money, he would have starved to death long ago.

In the end, I didn't expect that it was unintentional at the moment.

"This old ginseng was collected by my son when he went to the mountains a few years ago, but he didn't meet a suitable buyer before, so he kept it at home."

"Now that Ziyi needs it, I'll sell it to you."

An Ye explained.

"Can I get my hands on it?"

Lin Ze put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked the old man in front of him.

"Please."

Hearing An Ye's promise, Lin Ze took out a pair of gloves from his arms, put them on, and took out the old ginseng that was in the soft cloth bag.

The trunk of this old ginseng looks like a human, with extremely developed roots.

According to the method of identifying ginseng that he had learned, Lin Ze confirmed that the weight of this old ginseng was about one or two taels, and it was indeed over a hundred years old.

"It is indeed a hundred-year-old ginseng. If the elder is willing, I can buy it at the price of 100 taels of silver for one penny of ginseng."

Lin Ze put down the old ginseng, looked at An Ye and said seriously.

Hearing this, An Ye showed joy on his face.

Although he has not cashed in this old ginseng for safety reasons these years, he still knows the price of century-old ginseng.

The purchase price offered by Lin Ze is not only fair, it can even be said to be a high price.

"Since it has been taken out, I am naturally willing to sell it."

An Ye definitely expressed his meaning.

Seeing this, Lin Ze went to the donkey cart to get the scale and weighed the century-old ginseng.

In the end, the result was one two one money, which is 55 grams.

Ginseng is very heavy when it is still planted in the soil, but it is already amazing to have this weight after drying.

"This weight is 1100 taels of silver."

Lin Ze spoke.

This old ginseng can be sold for about 550 million when it is brought back to modern times. After deducting the 1100 taels of silver that Lin Ze paid at this moment, the value is 28.6 yuan, and the net profit is 521.4 million yuan.

Although the profit rate is not high, only less than twenty times the profit rate, but the absolute profit is very high!

"Elder, wait a moment, let me write a contract, and after signing and depositing, the money and goods can be delivered."

Lin Ze put down the old ginseng and said with a smile.

While talking, he took out the paper and a brush that had been prepared from the donkey cart, opened an ink bottle and filled it with ink, and began to write.

"On July 1100th of the third year of Antai, I received a hundred-year-old ginseng plant from the home of Anye, a villager in Lianghe Village, Qinghe Township. It weighed one tael and was priced at [-] taels of silver. The money and the goods have been paid, and this is used as a certificate."

Antai is the reign title of the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The contract was made in duplicate. After Lin Ze finished writing it, he left his and An Ye's names as signatures.

Then he took out another box of ink pads, and he and An Ye left fingerprints on their names.

After finishing all this, Lin Ze opened a bundle placed in a corner of the donkey cart, revealing silver ingots in the shape of ingots.

These silver ingots were prepared by Lin Ze before the first transaction between the two worlds, and there were a total of 500 taels of silver.

The silver was worth 39 yuan. At that time, Lin Ze directly ordered and bought these silver taels at the gold and silver shop in the same city of the main world in order to make up the balance.

Although it is not very convenient to carry 75 kilograms of silver, it is also a necessary burden.

Although Lin Ze can bring gems and glass beads, which are worthless in the modern world but very valuable in ancient times, to other worlds as money, the problem is that these things are not easy to cash in, and these rural villagers may not be willing to accept them.

The last time I brought these silver taels didn't come in handy, but this time it started to work.

Taking out the bag of silver ingots, Lin Ze counted 22 of them.

"One ingot of these silver ingots is 50 taels, and 22 ingots are exactly 1100 taels of silver. Please ask the elders to check."

Lin Ze said.
