The Village Doctress Chapter 39: Close

"Let's do this." Mrs. Li also felt that she was losing her composure. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "If you have dried ones, we will pay you fifty-eight yuan a catty. How much do you have? How much will you charge? In the future, what you collect will only be sold to us, Miss Lin, how about it?"

Fifty-eight Wen a catty?

Lin Fufu was taken aback.

The price offered was not bad, far beyond her expectation.

Ms. Li was also a little embarrassed. The husband said that at least sixty coins per catty would be accepted, and at most one tael of silver would be accepted this time.

But she was born with the lowest price, and even lowered two pennies, so she didn't feel bad at all for those cunning and cunning medicine merchants.

But the other party is just a teenage country girl, and she can't bear it anymore. Although these new herbs are available in the fields, their weight will be greatly reduced after drying, and they can't dig out a few catties a day. Here are the dried herbs.

Li Yiyi was a little anxious when he heard that his aunt's lowest price was two pennies: "Aunt... Madam?"

"Miss Lin, if you don't say anything, do you think the price is not satisfactory?" Mrs. Li ignored her nephew and looked at Lin Fufu with shrewd eyes.

Lin Fufu did some calculations in his mind. Although A Fen and A Fang could dig dozens of catties a day, they would only be less than ten catties of medicinal materials after washing and drying. Fifty-eight wen per catty, then ten catties is five hundred and eighty wen, which is more than five taels of silver.

But the cost she paid was only six yuan a day, plus a lunch.

Based on this, at most ten fen per day can be paid out, but five taels of silver can be earned! So this business is very profitable and worth doing.

So he straightened his face and said flatly: "Okay, just as Mrs. Li said, fifty-eight yuan a catty, I will sell this medicinal material."

Mrs. Li didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and unconsciously, she felt like she was a match for chess.

This girl is a good material for doing business!

But Li Yi couldn't bear it for a while. He felt that it was not easy for the little girl Lin Fufu to dig in the soil. If he came to negotiate this business, he would negotiate according to the highest price that the third uncle said.

But he also knew that it was right for the third aunt to do so. Although the third uncle was a doctor, his family used to practice medicine and opened a pharmacy, and it was essentially a family of merchants.

Businessmen have always been profit-seeking, so there is nothing to say.

"Then it's settled." Mrs. Li said with a smile, suppressing the frustration in her heart.

Lin Fufu nodded, doing business with you is what you want, and you will have no regrets.

Even if the price of medicinal herbs is lowered this time, she has nothing to say. For a country girl who has no connections and no money, it is the most important and convenient way to get Dr. Li's line.

"Mrs. Li, but I still have one request. See if you can agree to me first." Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Li with a smile.

"Oh? Miss Lin, what's your request?" Mrs. Li frowned and looked at Lin Fufu solemnly.

Lin Fufu said with a smile: "I think that this herb will spread out sooner or later, but before that, I would like to ask my wife to only collect herbs from Fufufu. In case the villagers know that this herb is valuable, they will scramble to dig it up Buying it for other pharmacies will not only cause a heavy loss for my wife, but I am afraid that this herb will also disappear."

Madam Li was touching the ring on her finger when she heard this.

"Miss Lin is very reasonable, I know what to do." Mrs. Li said solemnly.

Originally, she thought that she could also send people to the countryside with money to collect at a lower price in the future, but she completely dismissed this idea after hearing Lin Fufu's words.

Don't talk about her loss, it's just that the herb disappeared, it's really not just talk.

Although Li Yi also talked to her very much at the beginning, but at that time she was busy reconciling the account books, she didn't think it was a problem at all, but she also blamed Li Yi for talking too much, and was far less straightforward and thoughtful than Lin Fufu. Clear...

When several people were thinking about each other, Grandma Li's tea had already been boiled.

Ms. Li stopped drinking after taking a sip.

This tea is still left by the Chu family. Although it is considered good tea in the countryside, it tastes like chewing wax in the mouth of Mrs. Li who is used to drinking famous tea.

"Miss Lin, how many herbs do you have now, can I take them back with the carriage today?" Mrs. Li asked with a smile.

Lin Fufu didn't know the weight of those herbs, so he said, "We haven't weighed the exact amount. Madam wants to take it away today, so let's go and weigh it."

So Grandma Li found the scale, and Lin Fufu took a few people to the warehouse.

Ms. Li was very happy when she saw the dried medicinal herbs that were divided into three parts.

These herbs were dried and cleaned up like this, she liked Lin Fufu even more.

In addition to the dried medicinal materials, it is not easy to distinguish what medicinal materials are, and the Li family can monopolize them for a while.

It turned out that Dr. Li did not collect these medicinal herbs for his own use, but planned to sell them to other pharmacies for a considerable profit.

In fact, Lin Fufu also guessed these things, but they are Dr. Li's contacts, and it is also Dr. Li's ability to earn a high price difference, and she is not uncomfortable at all.

It's just that, she secretly told herself that in the future, she will earn more money by relying on the connections she has accumulated.

After they agreed, Mrs. Li smiled and said: "This herb is well dried and clean, so I will do it like this from now on."

"Don't worry." Lin Fufu said with a smile.

Mrs. Li said: "I just saw the ones outside in the yard that haven't dried out. Let's take that one away too. There are some dry ones, and some are not dry. Good."

Sure enough, she is the doctor's wife, and the words she speaks are also very jargon.

Lin Fufu smiled and complimented: "Ma'am is absolutely right. If you really want to talk about the efficacy of the medicine, the fresher the herbs, the better. But they are easy to store after drying."

"Who says it's not." Mrs. Li was very happy, looked at her and said: "Then let's follow the price agreed before. We will send a carriage to your house every few days to take it back, and you Give us more than half of it to dry in the sun, keep a small half and don't dry it all. Anyway, the price is the same."

Lin Fufu responded with a smile, but he didn't feel that Mrs. Li's positioning of dry and wet prices was just taking care of her.

It's just that each takes what he wants.

"Master, Miss Lin, the storehouse is dry." Li Yi and Grandma Li came out after weighing.

Mrs. Li nodded and asked, "How much dry goods are there?"

"Dry truck seeds weigh forty-eight catties and three taels, half branch lotus weighs forty-two catties and five taels, and Houttuynia cordata thirty catties and eight taels." Li Yi reported in a bright and clear voice.

Mrs. Li and Lin Fufu both nodded.

"Then weigh the outside as well." Mrs. Li said again.
