Lin Ze is not hungry yet.

However, when faced with the old village chief's invitation, he still smiled and agreed: "Then don't bother me."

More than a thousand kilograms of matsutake were packed in several large sacks and piled on the donkey cart.

A donkey couldn't pull such a heavy load. It was An Ye's sons who helped push the cart, and Lin Ze successfully drove the donkey cart to the yard of An Ye's house and stopped.

Anye's home is not very luxurious, just a few thatched houses built with wood and thatch.

But the advantage is the vast space.

Even if there is a donkey cart, it does not seem crowded.

"Elder, do you have any important instructions?"

In the main room, Lin Ze was greeted by An Ye and sat down.

He glanced at his donkey cart parked in the courtyard.

He took a bowl of tea from Anye's daughter-in-law, but did not drink it.

While walking outside, although I have initially established friendly relations with the people in Lianghe Village, I still have to be wary of others.

And there is another problem. Although the water and soil environment in the other world has been verified by Lin Ze and is roughly the same as that in the main world, the living and hygienic habits of this ancient rural area are not very flattering.

Even if the old village chief's bowl of tea was safe and non-toxic, Lin Ze was afraid that he would turn into a Splatoon after drinking it.

An Ye said with a smile: "Ziyi, didn't you come down the mountain to buy rare medicinal materials? I have medicinal materials accumulated over the years at home. Let's see what price we can give."

He ordered his son who was standing aside to fetch the medicinal materials from home.

An Ye was afraid that Lin Ze would be careless, so he explained frankly: "I also ask for Ziyi's forgiveness. The medicinal materials are precious and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I couldn't take them out directly last time."

Under normal circumstances, Anye would not take rare medicinal materials and sell them to Lin Ze this time.

Even if there is a transaction, both parties must have a certain degree of trust.

It might take a year and a half for Lin Ze to establish friendship with the villagers in Lianghe Village.

However, the corpses of the twelve bandits built Lin Ze's reputation and greatly improved his credibility in the hearts of the villagers in Lianghe Village.

Now, the villagers in Lianghe Village have the impression of Lin Ze as a decent young knight from a famous family.

It is a reputable existence.

This is the reason why Anye chose to sell rare medicinal materials to Lin Ze at this time.

------------------

Soon, Anye's son came back and opened a soft cloth bag and placed it in front of Lin Ze.

"A century-old ginseng?"

Lin Ze looked at the medicinal material in the soft cloth bag, which was an old ginseng that was close to human form, and said in surprise.

To be honest, his purchase of rare medicinal materials was just an excuse for his activities in the Zhou Dynasty. He did not expect to make money by purchasing and reselling rare medicinal materials.

One gram of century-old ginseng in the main world costs about 10,000 yuan, and a normal century-old ginseng costs about 350 grams. The modern price is three to five million.

The market price of a century-old ginseng in this world is between eight hundred taels and just over one thousand taels of silver, depending on its weight.

The price of one gram of silver is about 5.2 yuan, one thousand taels of silver is 260,000 yuan, and reselling century-old ginseng is only more than ten times the profit.

The profit margin is worse than selling sugar.

If the trade between the two worlds was based on this to make money, he would have probably starved to death.

As a result, I didn’t expect that I had no intention of doing anything right now.

"My son picked this old ginseng from the mountains a few years ago, but he never found a suitable buyer, so he kept it at home."

"Since Ziyi needs it now, I will sell it to you."

Anye explained.

"Can I get started and take a look?"

Lin Ze put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked the old man in front of him.

"Please."

After hearing An Ye's promise, Lin Ze took out a pair of gloves from his arms, put them on, and took out the old ginseng from the soft cloth bag.

The trunk of this old ginseng resembles a human shape, with extremely developed roots.

Lin Ze followed the method he had learned to identify ginseng and confirmed that the old ginseng weighed about one tael and that it was indeed over a hundred years old.

"It is indeed a century-old ginseng. If the elder is willing, I can purchase it at the price of one hundred taels of silver per penny of ginseng."

Lin Ze put down the old ginseng and looked at An Ye seriously.

Hearing this, An Ye's face showed joy.

Although he has not cashed in this old ginseng for safety reasons in recent years, he still has some understanding of the price of century-old ginseng.

The purchase price offered by Lin Ze is not only fair, it can even be said to be high.

"Now that I have taken it out, I am naturally willing to sell it."

Anye definitely expressed what he meant.

Seeing this, Lin Ze went to the donkey cart to get a scale and weighed the century-old ginseng.

Finally, the result was one tael per cent, which is 55 grams.

Ginseng was very heavy when it was planted in the soil, but its weight after drying is already extremely impressive.

"This weight is 1,100 taels of silver."

Lin Ze spoke.

When this old ginseng plant was brought back to modern times, it could be sold for about 5.5 million yuan. After deducting the 1,100 taels of silver Lin Ze paid at this moment, the value was 286,000 yuan, resulting in a net profit of 5.214 million yuan.

Although the profit rate is not high, only less than 20 times the profit rate, the absolute advantage is that the profit is very high!

"Sir, please wait a moment. Let me write a contract. After signing and depositing the money, the delivery of money and goods can be completed."

Lin Ze put down the old ginseng and said with a smile.

While talking, he took out the paper and a writing brush that had been prepared from the donkey cart, opened an ink bottle, filled it with ink, and started writing.

"On July 8, the third year of Antai today, I received a century-old ginseng plant from the home of An Ye, a villager in Lianghe Village, Qinghe Township. It weighed one tael and one tael, and was priced at 1,100 taels of silver. I received the two taels of silver today as a certificate."

Antai is the reign name of the current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

After Lin Ze finished writing, he left his and Anye's names as signatures.

Then he took out a box of ink pads and asked Anye to leave his fingerprint on his name.

After completing all this, Lin Ze opened a baggage placed in the corner of the donkey cart, revealing the silver ingots in the shape of ingots.

These silver ingots were prepared before Lin Ze's first transaction between the two worlds, totaling 1,500 taels of silver.

The silver was worth 390,000 yuan. At that time, Lin Ze directly placed an order at a gold and silver store in the same city in the main world to buy these silver coins.

Although carrying seventy-five kilograms of silver is not very convenient, it is still a necessary burden.

Although Lin Ze can bring gems and glass beads, which are not valuable in the modern world but were very valuable in ancient times, to other worlds to use as money, the problem is that these things are not easy to cash in, and these rural people may not be willing to accept them.

.

It didn't come in handy last time, but it started to work this time.

Lifting out the package of silver ingots, Lin Ze counted 22 of them.

"These silver ingots are fifty taels each. Twenty-two silver ingots are exactly 1,100 taels. I would like to ask the elders to check them."
