Chapter 59: Chapter 59: There are Premium Products in Golden Ear 1

Once the golden mushrooms were harvested, they needed to be spread out to dry.

Previously, Yingbao had also planted some next to the old house, not many, just about a hundred, plus another hundred of Xue’er.

Both of these two hundred variations were grown from mushroom spores of golden mushrooms and Xue’er. They were watered with a blend of a small amount of Wudingzhi and pond water, so they grew very well.

After Yingbao harvested them, she spread them out to dry and obtained more than four catties of dried golden mushrooms and four catties of Xue’er.

She didn’t plan to sell all of these dry mushrooms but gifted half a catty of golden mushrooms and half a catty of Xue’er to grandfather and grandmother for them to stew and eat.

She also gave half a catty of golden mushrooms to Sister Wen.

She kept less than a catty for herself, and gave the rest to her father, telling him that these were premium golden mushrooms and should not be sold for less than ten taels of silver per catty. The Xue’er mushrooms were also premium quality and should not be sold for less than a tael of silver per catty.

Jiang Sanlang nodded in agreement.

Following that, the three brothers carried the golden mushrooms to the county town to sell them to Zhou Mao at the Furuifeng Trading Company.

When Zhou Mao saw that the three brothers had brought more golden mushrooms, he immediately ordered his servant to serve tea and the young shopkeeper to bring the steelyard weight and weigh the mushrooms.

This time, there were twenty-eight catties of golden mushrooms in total.

Of these, fifteen catties belonged to Jiang Sanlang. Jiang Erlang and Jiang Dalang each had ten catties, and the old man Jiang had the least, just three catties.

After weighing the golden mushrooms, Zhou Mao noticed that there were still two carrying baskets on the donkey cart that hadn’t been brought over, and couldn’t help but ask, “Sanlang, what’s this…”

He suspected that Jiang Sanlang had started doing business with other merchants.

Jiang Sanlang calmly replied, “These are the premium products from our family. They cannot be sold for less than ten taels per catty.”

“What?” Zhou Mao was somewhat displeased, “Are you trying to jack up the price?”

Jiang Sanlang shook his head, “If I wanted to jack up the price, I wouldn’t have sold the other ones to you. These really are premium products.”

Zhou Mao looked at Jiang Sanlang with suspicion, “What premium products? You better explain quickly.”

Although Jiang Sanlang didn’t understand why his little girl insisted on treating these golden mushrooms as premium products, since she said so, there must be a reason.

So, he said, “Premium products, of course, have value. I can’t explain it well. But if Steward Zhou thinks it’s too expensive, it doesn’t matter. I can take them to another place. Doctor Li told me that he wanted all of these.”

In fact, Doctor Li hadn’t said anything like this to him. Most likely he hadn’t even used up the several catties from last year.

Even if he had used them up, Jiang Sanlang wouldn’t have gone back to him anyway because he had been upset about the matter with Old Man Wen.

Zhou Mao frowned, clicked his teeth, and slapped the table, “Alright, I’ll take these first. If I find out you have been playing tricks, Zhou will chase you back to your old home and demand an explanation.”

Having said that, he asked the young shopkeeper to come over and weigh the golden mushrooms and Xue’er.

Three catties of premium golden mushrooms, four catties of premium Xue’er, for a total of thirty-four taels of silver.

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang looked at each other.

When did their third brother come up with a premium product?

The money made from these few catties of premium products was unexpectedly more than their own ten catties.

Zhou Mao was actually a little annoyed in his heart, but he had no choice but to accept these so-called premium products.

Jiang Sanlang, this little guy, seemed honest and straightforward, but in reality, he was very clever.

If he let his golden mushrooms fall into the hands of others, he would definitely lose out.

Especially the head steward of the trading company, Zhao Kun, that old fox was a crafty character and had always been coveting the supply of golden mushrooms.

Fortunately, Jiang Sanlang only recognized him, and the amount of supply each time was not large, which didn’t give the old fox an opportunity.

Humph, later he would cook some and compare them. If Jiang Sanlang were to try to deceive him, he would definitely make him suffer.

After getting their silver coins, the Jiang brothers returned home cheerfully.

Jiang Dalang said, “Sanlang, we might as well put our money together and buy a donkey cart. We can’t keep borrowing one from Uncle Chen, it’s really not right.’
