Chapter 127 One pound of salt and one pound of cordyceps
When Lin Sanqi took out a Cordyceps sinensis cordyceps, Kalon Wangdui immediately recognized it: "Yazha Gunbu?"
Yaza rolling cloth? Lin Sanqi showed a clear and stupid look.
Nyima Tsering hurriedly translated: "Dr. Lin, our Tibetan name is Yazha Gunbu, and your Chinese name is Cordyceps Sinensis. It means the same thing."
Galun Wangdui nodded and said strangely:
"We have a lot of Cordyceps on the Zaduo Plateau. In the past, supply and marketing cooperatives paid 5 cents for a pound of Cordyceps to buy it. For us herdsmen, 5 cents is fine. A few more pounds can be exchanged for salt.
Unfortunately, the quantity purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative was too small, and all the cordyceps rotted in the ground. Even the cattle and sheep did not eat the cordyceps because they were too rough. Only pigs who are not picky eaters will eat on the plateau. Dr. Lin, do you really want to buy this Cordyceps? ”
Lin Sanqi took out a letter of introduction from his backpack:
"Old man, this is not a purchase I want to make, but a purchase for our hospital. Look, this is a letter of introduction."
Galun Wangdui couldn't read Chinese characters either, so his grandson translated them word for word. But the old man recognized the red official seal and had no doubts about Lin Sanqi's identity.
"Dr. Lin, do you really want to purchase it? How much quantity do you need? I'll go to the village and ask, and I should be able to get some together."
Lin Sanqi chuckled:
"Old man, you see, I always come here in a big truck, so the more cordyceps the better, I will collect as much as I can."
Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? How much do you charge? Do you also pay 5 cents a pound?"
For the local ethnic minorities, they basically have no source of income. In addition to growing some highland barley, they raise sheep and cattle.
But if every household raises cattle and sheep, beef and mutton are no longer so valuable. Who will buy them? Who doesn’t have one? If you want to eat it, just kill it yourself.
But if the herdsmen want to survive, they must buy some daily necessities, as well as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and the like.
Because I have no money, I have to bring a sheep to the supply and marketing cooperative every time and exchange the sheep for salt. The price will naturally be a huge loss, and one sheep cannot be exchanged for a few kilograms of salt.
Now the doctors from the capital actually want to buy in large quantities. Why doesn't Kalon Wangdui be overjoyed? As for digging up Cordyceps, it's all over the mountains and plains. It's just a matter of a little effort.
Lin Sanqi was already happy when he heard that he could buy a pound of Cordyceps for 5 cents. The price was much cheaper than he imagined.
But Lin Sanqi, who had just left school, still had some conscience. A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. Seeing such a poor minority, he was not willing to make money that was unconscionable.
So Lin Sanqi took out two more cordyceps from the bag: one cordyceps king grade (special grade) with more than 1 gram, and a first-class cordyceps with more than 0.6 grams.
"Old man, I only accept cordyceps of this size. I don't want any smaller ones. This time I brought a lot of salt, sugar, and tea cakes. A pound of cordyceps can be exchanged for any one thing. If you don't want salt, sugar, and tea, , I can also give you 1 yuan per catty.”
Galun Wangdui stood up after a while, his face turned red:
"Dr. Lin, are you telling the truth? You can't deceive us ethnic minorities."
Lin Sanqi knew it as soon as he saw the old man's reaction. It seemed that the price he offered was very, very attractive to ethnic minorities.
This is what he wants, because he won't spend too much time in Zaduo. If he wants to acquire it slowly, it won't be completed within a few months.
But when he raises the price to a sky-high price, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and there will definitely be countless ethnic minorities desperately looking for Cordyceps for a pound of salt, a pound of sugar, a dollar, and a piece of tea cake.
In this way, he can acquire enough cordyceps in the shortest time.
"Don't worry, old man, we are Han and Tibetan people. How could I lie to you? And I can assure you that we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. We will never take credit."
Galun Wangdui was buzzing around excitedly: "Okay, okay, then I will arrange for the tribesmen to dig up Cordyceps immediately."
Lin Sanqi grabbed the old man who was about to run out and continued to fool him:
"Old man, the quantity I want is relatively large. It may not be enough for the villagers of your village to mine it. You can buy it from other surrounding villages or tribes. I don't care what your purchase price is, but I still agree with you on the terms just now. Change.”
Galon Wangdui laughed loudly: "Is this true?"
Lin Sanqi smiled confidently: "It's absolutely true!"
"Okay, then I will immediately arrange for people to go to other tribes to inform everyone. I promise not to disappoint Dr. Lin."
Lin Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man walking away.
It would be best to find a local "agent" for purchasing Cordyceps. After all, he is not familiar with Zaduo. If he goes from village to village, how many villages can he visit in half a month? How many kilograms of Cordyceps can be harvested?
Another important reason is safety issues.
If he carries a large amount of salt, sugar, tea and cash to trade from village to village, and the wealth is attractive, it is inevitable that he will encounter people with evil intentions, and what should he do if he comes to rob him directly?
Lin Sanqi now had a submachine gun and a pistol in his hand, but after all, it was one shot per person. If there were too many gangsters, a group of Wuyangyang people would rush over on horseback with knives, and he would not be chopped into pieces. So the best way is to find an agent to buy it, and as long as he sits at Nima Tselen's home, the villagers in Nima's village will naturally protect him, the God of Wealth.
After agreeing on the terms with the head of Kalon Wangdui Village, Lin Sanqi immediately drove the big truck into Chikang Village and parked it in front of Nima's house.
Then with the help of Nima, the two unloaded the salt, grain and tea from the truck.
There are two houses in the yard of Nima Tselen's house. It is estimated that Nima's parents planned one house to live in at that time and the other for their son to live in after he married, so they built them larger.
Lin Sanqi used one of the empty houses as a warehouse, preparing to use it when trading Cordyceps.
The effect of the infusion was very good. In the afternoon, Nima’s sister Nisan woke up and her fever quickly subsided.
Plateau people have never experienced the baptism of antibiotics, so when antibiotics were first introduced into the human body, they immediately played a huge role.
Seeing that his sister's condition improved rapidly, Nyima Tsering felt grateful to Lin Sanqi, not to mention treating him as a living Bodhisattva.
That night, Lin Sanqi treated a guest and took out a few bags of instant noodles to soak in and eat. Nima and Nisang almost cried after eating, saying frankly that this was the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives...
Early the next morning, Lin Sanqi was still sleeping soundly in her sleeping bag, and many people gathered at the door of Nima's house.
Lin Sanqi was woken up and asked while yawning:
"Nima, what's going on outside? Do you ethnic minorities have the habit of exercising early?"
Nyima Cilen ran in from outside the house and shouted excitedly: "Dr. Lin, there are people outside selling Cordyceps. They are all lining up outside now waiting for you to start buying."
When Lin Sanqi heard this, she knew it was time to make a fortune and ran out the door as fast as she could.
Sure enough, the house was crowded with ethnic minorities. When they saw Lin Sanqi coming out, everyone nodded and bowed to say hello, carefully trying to please the God of Wealth.
The head of Kalon Wangdui Village squeezed out from the crowd:
"Comrade Lin, these are the villagers from our Chikang Village and several surrounding villages. They are the first batch to get the news. When do you think we will start the acquisition?"
Where can Lin Sanqi wait? He said excitedly: "Now, let's start right away."
The head of Galun Wangdui Village was delighted when he heard this and shouted to the villagers in the yard:
"Everyone has lined up. Let's start purchasing now. Let me remind everyone first that what Comrade Lin wants is long and thick Cordyceps. If you have small Cordyceps, don't queue up~~~"
Lin Sanqi was already sitting at the door at this time, with a table in front of him. On the table were a pound of salt, a pound of sugar, a piece of tea cake, and one yuan.
The first Tibetan came forward, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he carefully placed a wooden box on the table.
Inside the wooden box are all thick, long and large cordyceps, neatly stacked one by one. It is obvious that the villager has carefully selected them.
Lin Sanqi took out the samples and compared them. She was very satisfied and took out the electronic scale to weigh:
"Okay, this is a special product. It weighs about 2 pounds. Uncle, you can choose what you want."
The elderly villagers were so excited that their hands were shaking and they were shouting loudly. Nima Cilan translated:
"He said he wanted a pound of salt and a pound of sugar."
Lin Sanqi readily took out the salt packets and sugar packets from beside her and handed them to the villager personally. Unexpectedly, the little old man burst into tears.
This is the first time in his life that the old man has a portion of fine salt. As for white sugar, it used to be enjoyed by noble men. When will it be his turn to be a slave like him?
In fact, Lin Sanqi was about to cry. Two kilograms of 1,000 grams of premium cordyceps can be sold for at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. Two kilograms is almost 1 million.
And he only paid a pound of salt and a pound of sugar, which totaled 10 yuan. The profit was simply outrageous! ! !
What is "traffic monetization" for time-travelers? This is the correct way to open the golden mobile phone.
When other villagers in the yard saw that someone had exchanged a pound of worthless weeds that were not eaten by the sheep for precious fine salt and sugar, they all screamed with excitement.
Everyone was clamoring for a quick deal so that they could continue to search for Cordyceps in the mountains and make a fortune.
The village chief of Galon Wangdui also nodded secretly, thinking that the doctor from the capital really kept his word, and it seemed that the acquisition could be released.
Chikang Village has become a middleman, and the old man is confident that the Chikang tribe will have a good year this year and become the richest village near and far.
Lin Sanqi and Nyima Cilun spent the whole day trading Cordyceps. When night came and the purchase was completed, Lin Sanqi had already exchanged for 200 kilograms of high-grade Cordyceps.
These big treasures Lin Sanqi were immediately transferred to the system space through the gate of Nima's house.
Looking at 10 plastic boxes full of cordyceps, Lin Sanqi put his hands on his waist and smiled happily~~~
