Chapter 1426: Overwhelming wealth
"Can't afford it?" Zhao Jun frowned and looked at the three generations of the Huang family. He never expected that Huang Haizhen would say such a thing.
"How much does this cost?" Zhao Weipeng asked curiously.
At this time, Huang Haizhen didn't look at his grandfather, but looked at his father, Manager Huang.
"This bear gall..." After listening to Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng talking, Huang learned that the bear gall was Zhao Jun's, so he looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Young man, how much can this be sold for? We have to remove the gallbladder skin first. Only by looking at the quality of the gallbladder core can we determine its price."
Seeing Zhao Jun's puzzled expression, Huang continued, "Bear gallbladders of this quality are almost never seen on the market, so unlike copper and iron gallbladders, they do not have a specific price.
But last year, one was sold at the Bei Er Pharmaceutical Market for 6,510 yuan.”
"How much?" Xie Chen's eyes widened instantly when he heard the price.
The Zhao family also hid a golden bear gall, which was obtained when Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and his Jie Chen killed a black bear monster.
The black bear monster weighed more than 700 kilograms when alive, and the bear gall produced was not more courageous than that of the brown bear weighing 500 kilograms, but after drying it still weighed 5 taels and 2 cents.
If it were based on the price that Manager Huang just quoted, that bear gall would cost more than 300,000.
When Xie Chen thought of this number, his head started buzzing.
"Six thousand five." Shopkeeper Huang glanced at Jie Chen, then raised his head slightly and said, "Our Huang family has been practicing medicine and selling medicine since the Ming Dynasty. Although we have only started collecting medicinal materials in the past two years, the price we offer is absolutely fair and we will not cheat or deceive people.
The price of golden bear gallbladder depends on whether there are gold stars in the gallbladder. If there are, the proportion of gold stars is high or low, and then the price of the bear gallbladder is determined.
The more Venus there is, the higher the price of the gallbladder. The less Venus there is, the lower the price of the gallbladder.
Upon hearing this, the four men of the Zhao army looked at the bear gall on the table. If what Manager Huang said was true, the price of this bear gall was still uncertain.
"Don't worry." Shopkeeper Huang seemed to know what the four people were worried about. He picked up the bear gall on the table, put it back into its original cloth bag, then walked up to Zhao Jun and handed it back to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun stood up and took the bear gall with both hands, then he heard Shopkeeper Huang say, "Don't think too much, young man. We can be sure that this is a golden gall. Even if there is no gold star in the gall, the price of one coin is more than 5,000 yuan."
"Ah..." Hearing what Manager Huang said, Zhao Jun smiled and smiled at Zhao Weipeng, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen on both sides.
"Shopkeeper." At this time, Zhao Weipeng asked Shopkeeper Huang on behalf of Zhao Jun, "Why do you say you can't afford the bear gall?"
Huang, the shopkeeper, smiled bitterly and said, "I have seen this bear gall. If the gall skin is removed, there will be about 1.7 taels left. If we calculate it at 5,100 taels, it will be 85,000.
If it has more gold stars, its price may exceed 100,000. Today is the 31st, which is the end of the month. The herbs we collected this month are all in the warehouse, and now the account is..."
At this point, Shopkeeper Huang turned around and looked at Huang Haizhen, who said hurriedly, "There are 57,400 yuan."
"Yes, less than 60,000 yuan." Shopkeeper Huang said, and looked back at the cloth bag on the table.
The gallbladders were from black bears. Huang hadn't had time to look at them yet.
"Young man, I haven't had the chance to look at your pack of iron and vegetable gallbladders." Shopkeeper Huang retracted his gaze and said to Zhao Jun, "But I think it should be no problem to take these bear gallbladders from you with the money in our account."
"Manager Huang, that..." Zhao Jun heard this and waved to Jie Chen, saying, "Minister, take out the brown bear gall."
"Hey!" Xie Chen responded, quickly opened his shoulder bag and took out a cloth bag.
This cloth bag is not big and contains four brown bear gallbladders.
Shopkeeper Huang smiled faintly, waved his hand to signal Huang Haizhen to take it, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Don't worry, young man, we will definitely buy all these bear gallbladders for you. If we don't have enough money in our account, I can borrow some from my colleagues on this street."
"Ah..." Hearing what Manager Huang said, Zhao Jun took out the golden gall from the small cloth bag in his left hand.
After taking it out, Zhao Jun held the gallbladder up to the sun, looked at it, and then asked Huang, "Old man, how can you see Venus?"
Zhao Jun asked this question out of curiosity and because he wanted to check the bear bile.
There are many talented people in China, so Zhao Jun had to judge them by his own standards.
Although I saw Manager Huang putting the bear gall into the bag just now, if the old man has other work on his hands and tries to replace the bear gall with another one, there will be no way for me to come back and settle the account later.
Huang, the shopkeeper, did not expect Zhao Jun to be so meticulous despite his young age. He explained to Zhao Jun: "You can't see this unless you break your skin."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun nodded slightly after hearing this, and put the golden gall into his cloth pocket. Then he asked Huang, "Old man, you don't want to accept my bear gall, right?"
"Young man, we want to buy it." Shopkeeper Huang said with a wry smile, "But at this time, no one in the entire medicine market has too much money. We can collect money from our peers, and 10,000 or 8,000 yuan is fine.
If it's around 30,000, I can ask for two more. But if it's 100,000 or 80,000, then I really can't do anything. After all, they are also running a business, right?"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Jun nodded to show his agreement with what Huang said. At this time, Huang asked Zhao Jun tentatively, "Young man, if you are not in a hurry, wait for me for a few days. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the price."
"Grandpa, this won't work." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "I came from Heilongjiang Province. I have to leave today no matter what."
"Oh, so far." Shopkeeper Huang was startled, then smiled and said, "That's okay, in that case, I'll take your bear gallbladders. And you can go somewhere else with your golden gallbladder.
But, don’t buy it at a loss. Last year, the price was 6,500 yuan per coin, and Venus accounted for about 30%. Remember what I said, and estimate it yourself when you sell bear gall. If it accounts for 50%, I think it can be sold for 7,500 yuan per coin. "
"Old man." Zhao Jun heard what Huang said and suddenly had an idea. He asked, "Do you have easy access to funds after the New Year?"
"After the New Year?" Shopkeeper Huang was startled, then his eyes lit up and he said, "It's convenient, it's convenient after the New Year."
"Then you should prepare more." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I will come again after the New Year."
Although the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce has been collecting a lot of things recently, the business has just started. And some mountain dogs who live in shacks in the mountains, only go up the mountain when it snows and come down the mountain during the New Year, probably don’t know that they can sell their skins to the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce yet.
And when the New Year comes, all the mountain dogs living at the foot of the mountain will come down the mountain.
By then, the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce will still have a lot of business. Zhao Jun estimated that the funds recovered in the past two days would only last until after the New Year.
Therefore, he planned to come to Hebei again after the Chinese New Year to sell all the things he collected before the New Year.
As for the golden bear gall in his hand, Zhao Jun did not plan to sell it. He planned to keep it for his family to use in the future. Then, when he came to Hebei again, he would sell the big one at home.
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile, "Young man, I won't fool you. When you leave later, you can go around the pharmacies. The highest quality of gold gallbladder is 50% gold star. I won't give you 7,500, I'll give you 7,600.
You can ask around in Anguo for this price, and you will never find one higher than this."
At this point, Shopkeeper Huang raised his hands and stretched his arms behind him, but when he turned around, his father had already returned to the house.
Shopkeeper Huang smiled, turned around and said to Zhao Jun: "There is a prescription handed down from our family that uses bear bile as medicine to relieve liver fire, stomach fire, heart fire, and lung fire. It can be said that the medicine cures all diseases."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun understood now. No wonder Huichuntang charged a higher price for bear bile than other companies. So this was the reason.
"Young man, I'll prepare 150,000 for you." Shopkeeper Huang smiled and said, "You're welcome to come back after the New Year."
"No, no." Zhao Jun heard it and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Old man, 150,000 is not enough."
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Huang was stunned. Huang Haizhen said beside him, "That's enough. We can't use it anymore. After removing the gallbladder skin, there will be 1.57 taels left. That's more than enough..."
"No, Brother Huang." Zhao Jun interrupted Huang Haizhen with a smile and said, "I have another one at home."
Huang the shopkeeper and Huang Haizhen: "..."
The two of them looked at Zhao Jun deeply. Huang adjusted his mood and asked Zhao Jun, "Young man, how much is your bear gall?"
"Well..." Zhao Jun said, "With the gallbladder skin, it's a little more than five taels and two cents."
As he spoke, Zhao Jun raised the cloth bag containing the golden gallbladder in his hand and said, "I won't sell this one. I'll sell that one. Old man, Brother Huang, just prepare the money for the bear gall."
Huang and Huang Haizhen looked at each other, then Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Jun, "Okay, young man, come after the New Year. I will prepare the money before the New Year. When you come, we will definitely be able to do it well."
"Okay!" Zhao Jun smiled, put the golden gallbladder into the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, and then said to Shopkeeper Huang: "Old man, let's take a look at the bear gallbladders?"
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Huang turned around and went back to the table to continue looking at the bear bile.
Zhao Jun sat back on the sofa and smiled at Zhao Weipeng, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen beside him.
Among the three, Xie Chen was the most excited. He had a share of the big golden gallbladder at home.
"Bang!" Xie Chen was so excited that he accidentally knocked over the teacup.
Xie Chen hurriedly stood up and heard Huang Haizhen say with a smile: "May everything be fine, and may everything be fine every year."
Xie Chen was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Huang Haizhen's words were very pleasant to the ear and eased a lot of the embarrassment.
"Little brother, please sit down. It's okay." Huang Haizhen said, and came over with a mop, smiling, "It's normal that we shouldn't clean when guests are here. I'll just wipe it briefly. Little brother, please don't prick your feet."
"I'm sorry, Brother Huang." Zhao Jun stood up to make room for Huang Haizhen and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." Huang Haizhen had just finished speaking when she heard another voice.
……
"boom……"
There was a muffled sound and dust flew up.
Wang Qiang and Xing San ran out from behind two white jujube trees growing side by side.
Both of them were holding strange long-handled iron tools in their hands, and they rushed towards the explosion site one after the other.
"It exploded! It exploded!" Wang Qiang, who arrived at the cave first, was a little excited. He threw himself in front of the cave, reached into the cave with the end of the badger fork in his hand, and dug out the stone that was blocking it.
Then, Wang Qiang put the badger fork aside, knelt at the entrance of the cave with his butt sticking up, and reached his hand in.
Yesterday Wang Qiang and Xing San went up the mountain to cut down trees, and today they came to carry out blasting.
When they came, they borrowed two "magic weapons" from Zhang's house, one was the badger-hunting fork next to Wang Qiang, and the other was the magic iron cave-exploring needle in Xing San's hand.
Today is Sunday, and the forest farm is closed. Li Dayong, Lin Xiangshun and others are at home, so Wang Qiang and Xing San just use the excuse of picking badgers to cover up this action.
In fact, these families who eat, drink and have fun together every day are all reliable.
If we were to help Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang find treasures, everyone would definitely be happy to help. If that were the case, all the men would come up the mountain. What wouldn't be found?
But there is a person in the family whose mouth is looser than the waist of cotton trousers, and because of him, he has to keep it a secret from everyone.
Wang Qiang put his whole arm into the hole and whispered, "I found it, I found it."
As he spoke, Wang Qiang slowly pulled himself out, and under Xing San's gaze, he pulled out a copper pot.
This copper pot is slender in shape, with a neck under the mouth and a handle.
"Is this for oil?" Wang Qiang looked at the copper pot in his hand with surprise, but heard Xing San said unhappily: "This is a chamber pot!"
"Ah?" Wang Qiang was startled. The copper kettle in his hand was snatched away by Xing San. The old man took the copper kettle and put it sideways on the ground.
This side of the land was flat, so it was placed firmly in place.
Wang Qiang curled his lips and continued to put his hand into the hole, but this time he couldn't touch anything.
"Come! Come!" Xing San pushed Wang Qiang twice, motioning him to go aside.
After Wang Qiang opened the cave entrance, Xing San inserted the iron caving needle in his hand into the cave.
This iron caving needle is an heirloom of the Zhang family. It is specially used to explore the depth of badger holes, but unexpectedly, it is also useful for treasure hunting.
But treasure hunting is different from exploring badger holes. In order to avoid damaging things, Xing San and Wang Qiang wrapped cloth around one end of the big iron rod.
When the iron probe could no longer be inserted into the cave, Xing San pinched the position flush with the cave entrance and pulled out the large iron rod.
"More than 120 centimeters." Xing San smacked his lips and turned back behind the Bainiuzi tree.
Wang Qiang stayed in front of the cave, stuffed the stone into the hole, and then pushed it in with a pig hook.
After advancing about one meter, Wang Qiang stopped and stood up to look for Xing San.
This stone is inserted to protect the contents from being damaged by the explosive force of the explosives.
If the stone was pushed in one meter, it would explode that meter. The rest could be held by Wang Qiang's arms.
When Wang Qiang got behind the tree, Xing San was wrapping explosives there.
There were two boxes behind the tree, one containing detonators and fuses, and the other containing explosives.
Xing San is really good at violence. He learned blasting from those road builders and learned it very well.
Five minutes later, there was a loud bang, dust flew everywhere, and frozen dirt and clods of earth were scattered everywhere.
Wang Qiang and Xing San ran to the front of the cave with Zhang family's magic weapons. After Wang Qiang dug out the stone, he reached into the cave and took out a copper box.
The small copper box is not big, but it is different from the dressing box found in Chen Jinmin’s house last time.
This copper box is not much bigger than a palm, has no lock, and has a lid with a dovetail joint on top.
This craft is not unusual when applied to wooden furniture, and it is even more extraordinary when used on bronze ware.
Wang Qiang pushed the lid of the box but failed to move it. He pulled out a skinning knife from behind and loosened the lid a little.
When he pushed open the lid of the box, Wang Qiang's eyes lit up instantly.
Xing San leaned over, took a look and said, "It's already been taken out!"
I made a mistake yesterday. I will add another chapter tomorrow to express my apology.
