After receiving a positive reply from the clerk, Xiaoxun fell into silence.
Did he admit his mistake? Or was he also rescued and returned to his relatives?
After a few breaths, he looked at Xiaoruo, who was looking at him worriedly, sighed softly, and said, "Let's go back."
After thanking the man, the two of them left the Yuelai Inn. Behind them came Da Mao's expectant farewell voice: "Sir, please go slowly! Come back if you need anything! I will definitely tell you everything!"
If you tell me everything you know, you will have to pay ten cents for every word you say.
The journey back was not as hurried as the journey back, so Xiao Ruo continued to walk under the shade of trees and walls. Every little less sun was worth every penny.
The distance between the two wall shadows was one meter wide. Xiao Ruo jumped lightly and passed under one meter of sunlight. After re-entering the shade, she turned around and walked backwards facing Xiao Xun: "We have only been walking for more than half an hour, and we haven't come out yet."
Qinzhou territory, if you want to pursue me, you still have time."
Watching behind her to prevent stones from stumbling on the playful person in front of her, Xiaoxun said in a calm tone: "Since he has relatives by his side, why should I bother him."
After tilting her head and observing the expression on his face, Xiao Ruo breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xiao Xun had not said anything against his will. She turned around and faced the front again: "Then let's go back to the Chamber of Commerce first and see how effective the beauty trap is this morning."
Facts have proved that all the beautiful men are sales materials. In addition to the original six cordyceps of the highest grade, Madam Lichun also consumed ten cords of the top grade and ten cords of the top grade, a total of nine thousand taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Qian held the account book and happily talked to Xiaoruo about today's revenue.
"In addition to Mrs. Li Chun's nine thousand taels, there are three customers who each ordered a high-grade one, and eight customers who ordered top-grade ones. These customers have all made appointments to come to our exhibition tomorrow to pick up the goods."
The beads on the abacus of shopkeeper Mao on the side were crackling, "Today we collected a total of 12,200 taels, after deducting the commission of 270 taels, the musicians were hired for 70 taels, and the wages were fifty taels. Today's net profit is 10,000 taels."
One thousand eight hundred and eleven taels! In just half a day, each of our families will earn more than 700 taels!"
"Brother Mao, why are you so anxious to settle accounts?" Shopkeeper Huang held the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "This is only the first day, there are still two days of the Cordyceps Sinensis Exhibition, and it won't be too late to wait until everything is over."
The more the accounts were calculated, the happier he became. Shopkeeper Mao didn't care at all about being said to be impatient. Seeing the white money flowing into his pocket, he lost all temper.
Seeing everyone beaming with joy, Xiao Ruo said with a smile: "The revenue in the next two days will definitely not be as good as today, but we have already recovered our capital, and all the cordyceps sold after that will be net profits. You can just collect your money with peace of mind."
That’s it.”
The shopkeepers nodded in agreement, and thanked Xiao Ruo for bringing back Cordyceps sinensis and setting the business line, which allowed the members of the chamber of commerce to earn today's money.
"I'm just doing what I should do, and I'd also like to thank you all for allowing me to take a technical stake and get a share of the pie." Xiao Ruo had a certain degree of advance and retreat, and his words were very useful to everyone.
Taking advantage of the situation, she made another point: "As the representative product of our chamber of commerce, we should make Cordyceps into a brand so that when others hear Cordyceps sinensis, they will think of our Qinzhou Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce."
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Qian, the fanboy, was the first to applaud. "But, what is a brand?"
Everyone:......
Xiaoruo explains the meaning and function of the brand to everyone in the most straightforward way.
"The so-called brand refers to consumers' awareness of the product. For example, when customers buy Cordyceps sinensis from us, in addition to ensuring the corresponding quality, they also enjoy follow-up services such as consultation, discounts, and after-sales services."
"In this way, customers will have trust and recognition of our cordyceps and form consumption habits. In the future, if others sell cordyceps, even if the price is lower than ours, customers will be more inclined to do so because of their identification with the brand.
Buy Cordyceps from our Qinzhou Medical Chamber of Commerce.”
After her explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"Then should we give our Cordyceps sinensis a brand name? We can't always call it Qinzhou Medical Chamber of Commerce's Cordyceps sinensis, right?" Shopkeeper Mao asked.
Shopkeeper Ruan first suggested: "How about the Cordyceps that is so popular?"
Everyone:......
To prevent Ruan Hao from coming up with any weirder names, shopkeeper Ding quickly spoke: "If people don't have faith, they can't stand. Why don't we just call it trustworthy Cordyceps?"
"Trust Cordyceps? Yes, I think it's pretty good."
"It's catchy and can demonstrate the principles of our Qinzhou Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce. I also agree."
Everyone immediately expressed their agreement with Shopkeeper Ding’s proposal. Trusting Cordyceps sounded much better than Kuaikuai Cordyceps!
The minority obeyed the majority, and Xinli Cordyceps became the final brand name of Cordyceps sold by the Qinzhou Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce.
Sure enough, as Xiao Ruo said, the words "Xinli Cordyceps" have become popular in Qinzhou after the exhibition, and people with a little wealth are proud of buying and taking Xinli Cordyceps.
The Chamber of Commerce also introduced that after purchasing 100 top-grade Cordyceps, you can redeem the qualification to purchase premium Cordyceps once.
Everyone who buys the top-grade Cordyceps can get a piece of paper with "Special Grade Cordyceps Purchasing Qualification Coupon" written on it. There are ninety-nine spaces drawn on it. For every purchase of a top-grade Cordyceps, you can get a letter from the Qinzhou Medical Chamber of Commerce.
After collecting the Cordyceps stamps, you can redeem them for purchasing qualifications.
In an instant, the most common way of showing off among wealthy businessmen in Qinzhou changed from wearing gold and silver to asking each other, "How many stamps do you have?"
Even other state capitals outside of Qinzhou heard about the reputation of Cordyceps sinensis and sent people all the way to buy it.
By March of the following year, all 27,600 Cordyceps cordyceps had been sold out, and each house in the chamber of commerce received a profit of 610,000 taels from Cordyceps sinensis.
In the next two years, Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun went to Qiang and Fan twice to buy Cordyceps. Each time they went, they were warmly welcomed by the Chaduo people.
After discussing with other shopkeepers of the Chamber of Commerce, Xiaoruo tripled the purchase price of Chaduo Cordyceps.
First, in order to make Chaduo herb collectors spend more time and try to collect cordyceps that are of high quality and appearance.
The second is to give back to Chaduo. After all, they are willing to sell all Cordyceps to the Chamber of Commerce, which eliminates the possibility of others using Chaduo Cordyceps to compete with Xinli Cordyceps.
After the first expedition, the caravan already had a fixed route to Qiangfan, and its safety and stability were greatly improved.
After that, every time they went to Chaduo, Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun would try to bring as many medicinal materials as scutellaria, astragalus, angelica, American ginseng, ginseng, Codonopsis, etc. that Chaduo did not have. Under Xiaoruo’s guidance, Ayouduo was able to use them to bring
The medicinal materials brought here are used to treat some simple diseases for the tribesmen.
Compared with the previous heaven-based therapy in which the Chaduo tribe went to the snowy mountains to kneel down and worship the gods and pray for mercy when they fell ill, Ayouduo followed the prescriptions taught to her by Xiaoruo and used decoctions of Chinese medicinal materials to treat the patients, which greatly improved their condition.
Recovery rate.
In just a few years, the Chaduo have grown rapidly in terms of numbers and financial resources, surpassing the Goluo and becoming the most powerful tribe in the Qiang and Fan tribes.
