Chapter 432 Wow, it's much more valuable than I imagined!
"This is the ginseng that the girl promised to bring you. Take a close look and decide what price to give her!" Now that Old Master Bai has the ginseng that Su Niannian gave him, he doesn't care about anything else.
The child held the aluminum lunchbox in his hands.
Over there, Guo Futian finally noticed the lunchbox in his master's hand.
There were two ginseng roots inside, far superior to the ones I had in my hands.
"Master!" Guo Futian exclaimed in surprise.
He pointed to the lunchbox containing ginseng in Old Master Bai's hand.
"Don't even think about it. This was given to me by the girl. Don't even think about putting it in Baicaotang." Old Master Bai quickly put the lid back on.
He planned to give one ginseng to Old Man Lu, and one to each of them.
"I'm just quite surprised, how could anyone want ginseng like this?"
Guo Futian shook his head helplessly, then smiled.
My master can sometimes really be like a child.
Even if Baicaotang wanted this kind of ginseng, they probably wouldn't have much of a chance to use it.
Guo Futian was already very happy and satisfied to see the ginseng in front of him.
How could he possibly have any intention of stealing his master's ginseng?
Seeing her grandfather like this, Su Niannian felt happy.
Grandpa cherishes these ginseng roots like a child cherishes his candy.
When Grandpa Bai saw Su Niannian smile, he smiled too.
"You girl!"
Guo Futian was already sitting in a chair over there.
"Master, can I process this box of ginseng now?" Guo Futian looked at the ginseng lying haphazardly in the lunchbox and felt that he shouldn't treat them like this.
I want to take them out one by one and carefully secure them.
Every ginseng root here is quite expensive.
"Girl, you can have it sorted out if you want. Don't forget to give her a good price," Old Master Bai said, waving his hand.
Guo Futian nodded solemnly.
He had seen many ginsengs, but he had never seen a three-hundred-year-old ginseng haphazardly placed in a lunchbox.
After seeing Su Niannian nod, Guo Futian solemnly began to arrange the ginseng.
There were six trees in total, and he carefully sorted them out one by one.
They were carefully placed on the table.
Then he went out and brought back six very exquisite wooden boxes.
Inside, there was also red velvet and gold thread.
The six ginseng roots were carefully secured to the red velvet cloth with gold thread, and then each prepared ginseng root was placed into an exquisite wooden box.
Looking at it this way, Su Niannian realized that it really did have some of the packaging techniques used in later generations.
After Guo Futian did this, it really did become much more upscale.
"I originally just wanted some broken pieces that could be used in medicine."
"But these are all intact, not even a single root is damaged..."
“Selling it directly will increase its value!” Guo Futian said.
"Either is fine, I don't have anything damaged on my end," Su Niannian said casually.
Guo Futian looked intently at Su Niannian, really wanting to ask where all these ginseng roots came from.
However, Guo Futian had been following his master for so long, he knew what questions he could and could not ask.
Seeing Guo Futian's expression of wanting to ask but not daring to, Su Niannian couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Guo, you want to know how I got this ginseng, right?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Futian's eyes lit up instantly.
Nodded quickly.
Su Niannian saw her grandfather frowning as he looked at her.
She nodded and smiled at her grandfather.
“I once went to a small village in Northeast China. There was a mountain there, and many wild animals roamed near the top of the mountain, so the villagers usually didn’t go there.”
"But my husband is very skilled; he once took me to the top of the mountain."
"These ginseng roots were all dug up from the top of that mountain," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Guo Futian looked at the ginseng, then at Su Niannian and his master.
Indeed, this is wild ginseng from Northeast China, and it cannot be artificially cultivated.
"Yes, yes! This is indeed a unique wild ginseng from Northeast China. You guys are really lucky."
"We found so many! We're incredibly lucky."
If someone else had said this, Guo Futian might not have believed it, but Su Niannian had no reason to lie to herself.
It looks quite fresh, so it shouldn't have been dug up too long ago, not a few years or even more than ten years ago.
Therefore, Guo Futian had no doubt about Su Niannian's words.
"I really can't estimate the price of wild ginseng of this quality, around 300 years old..." This time, Guo Futian was truly stumped.
Ginseng of this quality is very difficult to obtain, even if it costs several thousand yuan per stalk, when someone needs it.
However, in ordinary situations where it doesn't involve human life or death, it wouldn't sell for such a high price.
However, this is a valuable product, and Guo Futian really doesn't know how much he should pay for each tree.
Moreover, Baicaotang has limited working capital and cannot come up with a lot of money all at once.
Seeing that Guo Futian was in a dilemma, Old Master Bai looked at Su Niannian and then spoke.
"You can use the money from Baicaotang to buy two trees. You can use your connections to see if anyone wants to buy the remaining four."
"Bai Cao Tang will act as a middleman and make a profit from the price difference," Old Master Bai said to Guo Futian.
Guo Futian thought for a moment and realized that Baicaotang's current cash flow was enough to buy about two more plants.
Guo Futian looked at Su Niannian and asked for her thoughts.
Su Niannian smiled and nodded, "That's fine!"
Seeing that Su Niannian did not object, Guo Futian looked at the six ginseng roots again.
“The quality is excellent, and the year is also good. How about two thousand five hundred yuan per tree for the two trees that Baicaotang bought?” Guo Futian thought for a moment and said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian truly hadn't expected that a 300-year-old ginseng could fetch such a price at this time.
Su Niannian looked at her grandfather, and he nodded.
"It's a very reasonable price." Su Niannian smiled and agreed when she heard her grandfather say that.
"I'll sell the remaining four on your behalf," Guo Futian said to Su Niannian after thinking for a moment.
“Alright, let’s split it 80/20!” Su Niannian said with a smile.
This statement surprised Guo Futian somewhat.
Guo Futian originally intended to sell the products directly on Su Niannian's behalf.
Unexpectedly, Su Niannian actually wanted to share the money with him?
And it's a whopping 20%!
Conservatively estimated, a single ginseng root can sell for two or three thousand yuan, or even more.
These four ginseng roots...
Even if it's over ten thousand yuan, 20% of that is still two thousand yuan!
"I don't need it. The price is what it is. You don't need to give me any," Guo Futian said, waving his hand.
However, Guo Futian felt that Su Niannian did not treat him as an outsider based on her words.
I was still secretly pleased.
