Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 48 - Forty-eight Unexpectedly Received Wild Ginseng No. 1

Packing them bag by bag all by oneself.

It truly wasn’t easy.

It took him two hours to pack just about four bags.

Ji Pianran now realized a drawback of the space.

That was, he could only transport goods out by himself.

It seemed that in the future, he would need to plant something valuable in the space, the more valuable, the better.

After spending a full four hours in the space, he finally finished packing all the goji berries.

Ji Pianran was truly exhausted and thirsty.

He hadn’t brought any water or food with him, and his eyes happened to catch sight of the Spiritual Spring nearby.

He scooped up some Spirit Spring Water with his hand and drank it down.

He had originally thought the only use of the Spiritual Spring was for watering the fields.

But then something surprising occurred—the soreness in his body instantly vanished without a trace.

Even his mind felt much clearer.

It was as if he’d woken up naturally in the morning, feeling incredibly refreshed.

He swallowed, somewhat amazed.

Who would have thought that Spirit Spring Water had this effect, able to relieve fatigue.

If he’d known earlier, he would’ve drunk it while working.

…

When he left the space, it was twelve o’clock noon.

Ji Pianran loaded the dozens of sacks of goji berries into the car and drove to the herbal medicine store.

Coincidentally, the clerk who was supposed to deliver herbs to the store owner had been delayed by something in the morning and had just arrived at the store, helping the owner unload the herbs from the car.

Ji Pianran parked at the storefront and got out.

Seeing him, the owner quickly called out,

“Brother, it’s cold outside, come inside first. Wait for me for a bit, I’ll be done soon.”

Ji Pianran nodded, “No problem, you go ahead with your work.”

After saying this, he entered the store.

It took the clerk and the owner about twenty minutes to finally move all the herbs inside.

The owner skillfully began opening the boxes, inspecting them one by one.

It was no wonder the owner was meticulous—Chinese herbal medicine was truly different from other things.

If the herbs were even slightly damp or the sizes were inconsistent, their medicinal properties would be greatly reduced.

The owner checked each box carefully.

When he got to the last box, he noticed the ginseng inside was smaller than the rest.

He frowned and looked over at the clerk.

“These ginseng roots are too small, take a look. Being so small, they definitely won’t fetch a good price.”

Ginseng is complicated, with attributes like observing the five shapes and such.

It’s not easy to understand without professional knowledge.

At those words, the clerk also looked distressed.

“Older brother, it’s not that we didn’t provide you with larger roots. This is wild ginseng, can it be the same as the regular kind?”

“Recently, all we’ve dug up look like this. There’s nothing we can do—it’s wild, uncontrollable. We can only say, apart from the small size, the rest of the effects are the same.”

Pian Ran felt the young man’s explanation made a lot of sense.

Being wild, if you could control it, it wouldn’t be called wild anymore.

The owner sighed, not because he was trying to find faults.

It was just that the business of medicinal herbs was truly difficult to run these days, especially being situated among so many other medicinal shops.

If you don’t pay attention to quality, customers are bound to leave.

“Hey, I understand everything you’re saying, but the customer doesn’t get it, you know? Honestly, this ginseng looks fine, with long whiskers and it’s lively, but the problem is its size—it’s too small.”

Nowadays, people tend to prefer Western medicine because, after all, its results are faster.

That’s leading to fewer and fewer people going to see Chinese medicine practitioners and buying Chinese herbs.

And most people just look at the size; they think bigger is better and smaller means it’s no good.

This ginseng, being a little smaller, might sell for three to five hundred, but people still find that too expensive.

In the end, they decide not to buy it.

A medicinal herb that’s already pricey—I sure can’t afford to lose money on this.

The clerk glanced at the boss and was on the verge of breaking down in tears.

“Big brother, how about this, I’ll make it even cheaper, please just buy it.”

The boss sighed helplessly.

“Why wouldn’t you be pickier? If I buy it and can’t sell it, I’ll be the one to suffer a loss.”

In the world of business, it’s not a place for personal favors.

Still, the clerk was not ready to give up.

“How about this, I’ll knock the price down even more, even more.”

The boss waved his hand impatiently.

“It’s not about the price, it’s the size; it’s just hard to sell.”

If I weren’t under such competitive pressure, I might have bought it.

If there’s anyone to blame, it’s just the unfortunate location.

Without caution and prudence, my business could collapse, you know.

Seeing that the boss wasn’t interested, the clerk had no other option and said dejectedly, “All right, all right.”

After speaking, he carried his box and began to walk out.

Pian Ran didn’t say anything and silently followed him out.

It was only after leaving the herb shop that he turned to the young clerk, “Brother, how much are you selling this ginseng for?”

The clerk had just taken a blow.

Now, he was truly distressed.

When Pian Ran asked about the price, he just sighed.

“How else to sell it? To be honest with you, I’m afraid this whole box is going to be dead stock.”

There were a total of fifteen wild ginseng roots in his box.

This wasn’t the first rejection; it was already the third store.

But this year’s ginseng quality wasn’t good, and there was nothing he could do about it.

With that, he loaded the ginseng into the vehicle.

Pian Ran leisurely followed behind.

“Here’s the thing, my grandmother is really not feeling well, and everyone says ginseng is a great tonic. If you could give me a discount, why not sell it to me?”

He casually bantered.

Upon hearing this, a glint of joy flashed across the clerk’s face.

“I have fifteen roots here, can you take them all?”

Pian Ran nodded, just fifteen roots? His Spirit Field wasn’t incapable of growing them, so why not?

Forget about fifteen, he would take even thirty!

The clerk thought for a moment, “Well, I won’t rip you off. I’ll give you the lowest price, one thousand five hundred for the whole box.”

Just moments ago, he had still been asking for two thousand from the boss.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t sell them, he wouldn’t let Pian Ran have them so cheaply.

Pian Ran did some quick calculations; fifteen roots, that would be just one hundred per root.

That’s really not expensive.

After all, with these in his possession, the future price could easily triple or quintuple without a problem.

Seeing his straightforward manner, Pian Ran was straightforward as well.

“Alright, wait a moment. I’ll bring these things into my boss, and then I’ll give you the money right away. How does that sound?”

Pian Ran had given all his money to Ji Pianran and hadn’t planned on buying anything expensive.

When he’d left the house, he’d only brought a hundred yuan in change.

It was change he had prepared to give people when selling goji berries.

All in fifty cents and one yuan notes.

To buy the box of ginseng, he would have to wait until he sold the goji berries to have the money.

The clerk nodded resolutely, “Deal!”
