When I returned to the inn, I was surrounded by several old people before I even entered the door.
They all came with backpacks on their backs.
An old man with one eye put down his backpack and said, "Look at my medicinal materials. They are all collected from Beiling. These medicinal materials like yin and are grown on cliffs. You can never buy them on the market."
There were only about 20 kinds of herbs in his basket on his back, and they were all samples for Liu Muqiao and the others to take a look at.
Liu Muqiao was not an expert on medicinal materials. In his eyes, these medicines were mediocre and not as round and plump as those in traditional Chinese medicine stores.
Su Yajuan looked more carefully.
Qin Meixiang did not forget her responsibilities. He was just here to see the medicinal materials.
"Well, it's really good."
The medicines in the basket on the back of the one-eyed old man include Poria cocos, safflower, blood root, Polygonum cuspidatum, Puhuang, Forsythia suspensa, etc.
At first glance, it really doesn’t look good.
However, when the medicinal materials are opened, the color inside is thick and plump, the medicinal materials are rich in flavor, and a layer of thick smoke seems to come out.
“Good medicinal materials!”
Zhao Yilin screamed.
Although he studied Western medicine, during his decades of medical career, Zhao Yilin has a good foundation in traditional Chinese medicine. He has prescribed thousands of Chinese medicine prescriptions. Naturally, he also has a relatively deep understanding of Chinese medicine materials.
The varieties of traditional Chinese medicine vary widely, and it is not surprising that good medicinal materials can increase the efficacy by 10 times.
Today, when he opened the Poria cocos and took a look, he had to exclaim.
“It’s really a good medicinal material!”
Yuan Shan took the Poria cocos that Zhao Yilin broke and smelled it, looking intoxicated.
Another one was anxious, "You should also take a look at my medicinal materials."
The other man is also in his 50s, lean, and has more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials in his backpack. "Look, where can I find these medicinal materials on the market?"
In this man's backpack, there are Akebia, Gastrodia, Sichuan Wu, Pinellia, Uncaria, Coptidis, etc.
Qin Meixiang looked at each piece one by one, smelled them again, and even broke some pieces apart to smell them.
"Good medicine, indeed, uncle, yours is not bad either."
Next, I read them all and found that they are all good medicines.
Especially a lame man, he has the four diamonds, the rabbit umbrella, the black tiger, the four tiles, and the cinnabar root that were injured by a bruise.
These four kinds of medicine are completely different from those seen on the mountain. These are mature products that can be used as medicine.
Su Yajuan kept taking pictures.
Liu Muqiao said: "I want all your medicine. From now on, we all want whatever you pick. Just contact Sun Twelve and put the medicine at his place, and we will have someone specially come to buy it."
As for the price, this group of people didn't seem to care much. After hearing Liu Muqiao say that according to Sun Twelve's agreement, it was 20% to 30% more expensive than the medicine on the market, the old men didn't say anything and they all grinned happily.
This group of people have been collecting medicinal herbs all their lives. The most distressing thing is not that they cannot collect good medicine, but that they cannot sell it.
Most of the people who come to buy are profiteers who try their best to lower the price. They will raise the market price by another 20 to 30%, but they will always lower the price to less than half of the market price.
Even the most conscientious middleman cannot buy at a fair price. He also needs a profit. A 60 or 30% discount is a conscientious price.
In addition, the medicinal materials here do not sell well, and sometimes they have to sell them at 30% to 40% of the market price.
Liu Miqiao did not buy based on the purchase price, but based on the retail price at the distribution center, plus 20% to 30%. For these herbal collectors, the price was actually several times higher than their expected value.
Liu Muqiao doesn't care about price, he cares about quality and efficacy.
Huatuo's Regenerative Pills, Keliu No. 1, are not ordinary medicines, they are medicines that want to show curative effects. Liu Muqiao must choose the highest quality raw materials.
Besides, Antai Hospital’s traditional Chinese medicine has just started. They need to compete with the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other hospitals. Ancient prescriptions are a major competitive force, and the quality of medicinal materials is also a big one.
Great competitiveness.
There must be good medicine.
Efficacy is king!
The men who were collecting herbs had all gone back, and Jiang Wei said, "Let's all go back and wash our faces, take a short rest, and then we'll go out to eat."
When I went out today, I only had steamed buns, pickles, fruits, and snacks for lunch. I wanted to have a quick meal for a long time.
Not long after, everyone came out, shopping and looking for a suitable restaurant.
Before I knew it, I came across a place selling leather bags.
Zhao Yilin was the first to get in.
He regretted it yesterday. He had taken a fancy to a bag and wanted to buy it for Shen Yun. However, he hesitated and couldn't buy it. He called Shen Yun while lying in bed last night, feeling very guilty.
The bags Shen Yun usually uses are all famous brands. The last time she came home, it was an LV bag.
However, the folk handicraft bags here are still difficult to buy in the market. A respectable woman will be very proud to carry such a bag.
When I saw such a shop again today, I quickly went in.
Yuan Shan and Xiang Lifang both helped him choose.
Jiang Wei still has a good eye and fell in love with one at a glance. The price was 1,800 yuan, which was a relatively high price.
"This, take a look."
Zhao Yilin glanced at it, his heart tightened, and then he palpitated a few times, thinking, this is it.
Yuan Shan and Xiang Lifang also came over, "Yeah, this bag is really tasteful, buy it."
Zhao Yilin said: "How much cheaper can it be?"
The owner of this shop today is not the girl yesterday. She is 43 years old. She is an old sparrow. She can see that Zhao Yilin likes this bag very much. How can she bargain with you?
"We offer fixed prices here, no bargaining."
"We all negotiated the price yesterday," Zhao Yilin said.
"That store yesterday sold fake goods, and the quality was different." She stared at the bags in the hands of Jiang Wei and others. They looked so familiar. They were made by the same factory.
Zhao Yilin didn't care about the money, so he counted 1,800 yuan and bought the bag.
Others were not very pleased with this shopkeeper. He was completely different from the girl yesterday. They originally wanted to buy it, but they couldn't get interested anymore.
Zhao Yilin was very happy and looked at it carefully several times. In fact, this kind of bag is very good. Even though it is handmade, it is expensive.
Liu Muqiao hesitated for a moment, he wanted to buy one for Xie Min, but Jiang Wei winked, don't buy it here.
After a while, they arrived at the same store where they bought bags yesterday, and Jiang Wei was the first to go in.
She picked for a while, picked up a bag that also cost 1,800 yuan, and said to Liu Miqiao: "How about this?"
"Okay. That's it."
Liu Muqiao has to pay.
"Little sister, what's the lowest price?" Jiang Wei asked.
The little girl said 1,650 yuan.
"Okay, let's stop bargaining. Whoever wants to buy it should hurry up and buy it," Jiang Wei said.
Soon, everyone took action.
Jiang Wei and Su Yajuan did not buy any more, and the others were watching carefully.
Even Zou Qingxiang picked two bags.
One for himself and one for his wife.
Qin Meixiang was even more surprised. He seemed to be doing wholesale business and bought 7 of them in a row. The big one could fit a person and the small one was just a wallet.
The little girl was grinning from ear to ear, earning another tens of thousands of dollars.
