Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 794

Chapter 794: Chapter 668: Acquisition in Progress

Mr. Wang looked over the prices and found them acceptable, especially looking at Zhang Guoqing and his wife to see if they had any objections. If they were fine with it, he planned to make the decision right then.

Gazing at the three boxes of five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng in the middle of the table, Zhang Guoqing nodded slightly to the old man without needing Zhou Jiao’s prompt. He would have accepted an increase of up to 30%, let alone 10%.

Little Ping’an sat silently on the kang, his eyes assessing the expressions of everyone in the room. Earlier, his mother mentioned the maximum acceptable increase was 30%. Maybe these items would be worth a lot in the future?

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright. We’ll go with the price you suggested. If anyone has any Heshma Oil, bring it over too. We’ll pay 10% above the purchase price."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four old men selling ginseng beamed with joy. One of them asked, "Older brother, does this apply to rare items being priced above the procurement station by 10% as well?"

The old man next to him laughed and scolded, "You’re asking for more after getting a good deal. Take it or leave it."

Zhang Guoqing took a closer look at that old man who just spoke, noticing his shifty eyes, suggesting he still had some good stuff. Especially since it was rumored he had been injured collecting a thousand-year-old ginseng king before.

Recalling his trip to the deep mountains with Mr. Wang and the others, that area covered in wild ginseng, he thought any place with a thousand-year-old ginseng king wouldn’t have just one.

He could imagine it, and so could Mr. Wang. He smiled and said, "With the prices discussed, I won’t take up more of everyone’s time. I’ll be around these days, so I ask you all to keep an eye out for good pieces for me."

"Alright, no problem."

"I’ll ask my old friends later."

Lin Quan handed Mr. Wang a small scale.

Mr. Wang waved his hand, "You should do it. Weigh them one by one, and we’ll pay immediately."

Soon, as Lin Quan announced the weight, Zhou Jiao quickly calculated the amounts, Zhang Guoqing paid the money, and Uncle Wang repacked the goods.

In less than ten minutes, the thirty-seven ginseng roots over a hundred years old, along with the three five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, fetched eighteen thousand bucks in payment.

The transaction was very pleasant for both parties, and neither Lin Quan nor the sellers fussed about small amounts, opting to round them off. With a thick wad of cash, the four old men stashed it on themselves and bade farewell.

Once the people in the east room, including Mr. Wang, left, he gestured for Zhang Guoqing to pick first.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly shook his hand, "Grandpa Wang, I’m mostly buying for others. If I run out of goods, I’ll just send them money back. You pick first, and after you’re done, it’ll still be in time."

Mr. Wang, hearing this, refused even more firmly: "Since you paid earlier, calculating would be cumbersome. These all go to you. The next batch will be mine, how about it?"

Lin Quan interjected, "I’ve contacted many people, with several more batches coming. We don’t need to worry about not having goods. This sounds good. Kid, quickly gather the items, we’ll have more coming soon."

Zhang Guoqing, seeing this, stopped being polite and passed the wrapped package to Ping’an on the kang, laughing, "Alright. If you fail to collect Old Shan, we’ll share again later."

When Ping’an received it, he immediately moved to the kang corner, covered it with a quilt, and leaned on it, his eyes crinkled with joy forming crescent moons.
