Chapter 28: 10,000 For A Gram

After Big Yellow got scolded by Su Yu, it grabbed its bone and went back to its corner.

Since the addition of the tigers to Su Yu’s house, there had been two factions under one roof. The first faction was Little White and Big Yellow. The two of them had come to the house earlier than the tigers and got along well, so they naturally got together as a team.

The second faction was the three tigers.

Since Peggy had attacked Big Yellow before, it felt guilty. Therefore, no matter how many times Big Yellow provoked them, all three of them endured it and held back the urge to slap the dog with their big claws.

The arrival of the three tigers also meant that a good portion of the grilled wild boar went to them. It was finished in the blink of an eye, so Su Yu did not even get to enjoy the meat properly.

After lunch, he decided to visit the town in the afternoon.

The wild boar meat might have been fine for the time being, but if it was left unrefrigerated for a whole afternoon, it would surely go bad. Therefore, Su Yu had to buy a refrigerator from town to store the meat.

Before he left for town, Su Yu settled the matters with Jun Moxiao and the other viewers who had sent him gifts.

Jun Moxiao and the others wanted to buy wild ginseng from him. Since he could not just eat ginseng for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, keeping the precious ginseng to himself would be a waste. He might as well sell it off.

He simply lied to Little White and took all the remaining wild ginseng out, so Little White had no idea what happened.

After that, Su Yu added Jun Moxiao and the others in WeChat and grouped them in a single chat group.

Jun Moxiao, Promise, and Nightwing were in the chat group.

Su Yu took a picture of the remaining wild ginseng and posted it to the group. “Guys, this is all the wild ginseng I have for now. Which one do you want?”

Jun Moxiao said, “That many? I thought you only had a few!”

Promise said, “I can’t take that many as well. I want three!”

“I’ll take three as well,” Nightwing said.

Jun Moxiao then added, “I’ll take the rest then. I’ll send some of them to my family and keep some for myself.”

Promise asked, “Oh, right, Master Su, how much are you selling the wild ginseng for?”

“I’m not sure about that either. I’ve never sold anything like this. Why don’t you guys make me an offer instead?” Su Yu replied.

Jun Moxiao answered, “Master Su, the wild ginseng from the mountains are of high quality. They originated from an authentic source, which is an untampered wild ecosystem. We all witnessed it from the stream, and judging from the spiral patterns on the main root, the youngest among them is around 30 years old whereas the oldest, I think, is around 80 to 90 years old. I’m not that sure myself.”

“Of course, it might be a hundred-year-old ginseng. Usually, hundred-year-old ginseng can be sold for a high price. You can weigh it first because ginseng is usually sold by the gram.”

Su Yu nodded. He weighed every single piece of ginseng, but all of them were light at only a few grams in weight. The lightest one was around 8 grams.

Su Yu grumbled, “It’s so light. How much could it possibly be worth?”

Then, he sent a new picture to the group. He had labeled every single ginseng according to its weight and size.

Promise said, “I want No. 1, 4, and 6. How’s 10,000 per gram?”

“The ones you have chosen are around 30 years old, so 10K sounds about right. I want No. 2, 7, and 8. Judging from the looks of it, they are around 50 years old. How about 30K a gram?” Nightwing offered.

Su Yu almost choked on his own saliva after seeing the offers from the group.

Cough!

He coughed so hard that he almost dropped his phone onto the ground.

The viewers were surprised by his unusual reaction.

“???”

“What happened, Master Su?”

“Did you just choke on water?”

“Master Su, be careful. You look a little unwell.”

“You’ve been pressing the button on the phone. Who are you talking to?”

Su Yu did not have the time or the mood to reply to the comments from the stream as he was still in shock. He was unable to recover from the shock of the offer even after some time.

10,000 per gram?

30,000 per gram?

“Are all wild ginseng that valuable?!” Su Yu could not help but pinch himself. It hurts! He was not dreaming!

He had even thought that the ginseng was light when he weighed them.

The lightest one was only 8 grams, but with each gram fetching 10,000 RMB, even the lightest one would sell for 80,000 RMB!

Su Yu could not even earn that amount of money after a whole year working in Beijing!

Earning money in his hometown was much too easy! On top of that, he had more than one ginseng at hand. He would be rich!

He had sold a total of six pieces of ginseng to both Promise and Nightwing already, and this first six ginseng earned him a little more than 1.1 million!

Promise and Nightwing said they would pay a deposit of 50,000 first. In other words, Su Yu already got 50,000 RMB in the span of minutes.

The last one would be Jun Moxiao who wanted the most. He took seven pieces of ginseng in a single deal, and all of them were the older and bigger ones.

They were estimated to be around 70 or 80 years old. Every single one of them weighed around 20 grams. The older the ginseng was, the better the medicinal properties, hence it fetched a higher price per gram.

Promise and Nightwing bought younger ginseng at around 50,000 RMB per gram, and those were 50 to 60 years old.

Wild ginseng around 70 to 80 years old could fetch around 80,000 RMB per gram on the market.

Jun Moxiao took a total of seven wild ginseng, which was all Su Yu had left. The seven wild ginseng added up to 150 grams, meaning 12 million RMB!

Jun Moxiao transferred 200,000 RMB as deposit to Su Yu.

Su Yu was astonished. “So, this is how a rich guy does business? 200K is like small change to him! No wonder he could send gifts in Lion Fang like he was pressing an emoji!”

Suddenly, he thought of something.

“Oh, right. Jun Moxiao, should I send the bow that I mentioned before to you as well?”

Jun Moxiao had reserved Uncle Zhang’s traditional black bow from Su Yu’s previous stream. Since Su Yu did not get the chance to contact Jun Moxiao before this, he took this chance to update the latter about the bow.

Jun Moxiao replied, “Great! Thank you in advance!”

Jun Moxiao trusted Su Yu rather explicitly. Even before Su Yu sent him the bow, he transferred Su Yu the money for Uncle Zhang’s bow.

Almost instantly, Su Yu saw that 120,000 RMB had been transferred to his account.

“Er, shouldn’t you be worried about me scamming your money?”

Jun Moxiao said, “You won’t because I know you are a smart guy.”

Su Yu laughed at his WeChat history. Of course, he would never scam Jun Moxiao for money because the rich man had sent him almost 100,000 RMB worth of gifts in the past few days through the stream.

Su Yu was not that stupid to scam a super-rich person just because of some ginseng deal.

After settling the ginseng, he put his phone away and prepared himself to go to town.

There was some distance between Xiantai Village and the nearest town, plus it was a little difficult to get a ride in a rural village. Public transport usually never arrived on time.

On second thought, Su Yu decided to borrow Uncle Zhang’s auto rickshaw.
