Chapter 63 Deer Antler

Yunxi definitely had no objection to the price; in fact, she was quite satisfied with it.

"Grandpa, I'm quite satisfied with this price. I'll bring over the medicinal herbs from home in a bit. Oh, and by the way, how much does deer antler cost?"

Zhang Jingyuan hadn't expected that the little girl would have deer antlers, but he wouldn't lie to her; he would tell her exactly how many there were.

"The price of deer antler is quite good right now, 3 yuan per gram, but that's the price for processed dried deer antler. If you trust me, you can bring it over directly."

Yunxi glanced at the deer antler in her spatial storage. It was from a deer she had caught, but the antler hadn't been properly soaked yet, and she didn't know how much it would cost.

"Sir, I didn't soak that deer antler properly. I wonder what the price is?"

If the price is too low, she plans to wait until it's prepared before bringing it over; if it's still acceptable, she'll just sell it to the pharmacy.

"Young lady, if the deer antler isn't properly processed, the price will be much lower, much less than dried deer antler, only about 50 cents per gram."

Yunxi silently calculated the weight of the deer antler, which was about one jin (500 grams), and cost about 250 yuan.

Suddenly she felt it was quite a good deal, since she didn't know how much the water would shrink if it dried.

If the contraction is too severe, it will definitely result in a loss.

"Alright, I understand, sir. I'll bring the deer antler over in a bit, but you'll have to handle it yourselves."

Zhang Jingyuan was actually hoping the girl would take it, so he could earn more money. Although it would definitely be lighter after processing, he could still make a profit.

After taking the 100-plus yuan that the old man handed over, he couldn't wait to leave the pharmacy, ready to quickly retrieve the six sacks of medicinal herbs and the more than one pound of deer antler from his spatial storage.

After all, not the entire deer antler is usable; only a small section in the middle is usable, and even a pound of it is quite good. Yunxi didn't complain about it.

However, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the sika deer, intending to hunt a few more male deer if she had time, so that she could earn money faster.

But Yunxi also knew that sika deer could only be encountered in deep mountains and forests. She was just lucky with the one she encountered last time. She didn't know what had happened, but the sika deer had somehow managed to run to the outskirts.

After leaving the pharmacy, Yunxi went directly to a relatively secluded place and waited for about ten minutes before taking the six sacks of medicinal herbs from her spatial storage.

Of course, the deer antler wasn't forgotten either; after all, it's something that can sell for several hundred yuan, so it's impossible to forget it even if you forget something else.

When she arrived at the pharmacy carrying six burlap sacks, she startled the old man and the little boy. After all, the sacks were quite large, and when she was carried in her hands, Yunxi was completely obscured.

"Young lady, I didn't expect you to have so many medicinal herbs. These herbs are all very well processed. In the future, feel free to send over all the herbs you have. As long as they are well processed, I will accept them all."

Zhang Jingyuan was quite satisfied when he saw the medicinal herbs. He had originally thought that only the first two packets were selected, which was why they were of such good quality. He did not expect that all the medicinal herbs were of such good quality.

Judging from how young the girl is, someone in her family must know about medicinal herbs, otherwise she wouldn't be so knowledgeable.

"Thank you very much, sir. From now on, whenever I see medicinal herbs on the mountain, I will pick them all and sell them to you once they are processed."

Yunxi felt that even if she wanted to sell it to someone else, she couldn't, since there was only one pharmacy in the whole town, and if she wanted to buy it, she would probably have to go to the hospital.

I just don't know how much the hospital pays for the medicinal herbs.

I haven't been to the hospital yet. It seems I really need to take a look when I have time. Although I don't necessarily have to buy it from the hospital, I should at least know the specific price and compare it.

Yunxi watched as the old man and Zhang Feng were counting the medicinal herbs, with the abacus beads moving constantly beside them. She didn't say anything and just waited quietly on the side.

"Young lady, the price has been calculated. It comes to 409 yuan in total. Take a look. If you have no objections, I'll just give you the money."

Yunxi had no objection to the price; it was just that there were a lot of valuable medicinal herbs inside, otherwise it wouldn't have sold for so much money.

"Grandpa, I have no complaints about the price. You've been following the rules. I'm already very happy that you're willing to accept my herbs. Thank you, Grandpa."

Seeing the girl's grateful expression, Zhang Jingyuan felt quite happy. He had bought all the medicinal herbs at the highest price within the regulations, which was worthwhile for him.

They offered a high price within the prescribed range because they saw that the girl was still young and it wasn't easy for her to collect so many medicinal herbs.

"Here you go, this is 409 yuan, please count it."

Yunxi took the money the old man handed her. Nowadays, there are no large denominations of money; the largest denomination is ten yuan, so it looked like a large stack.

There were 40 ten-yuan notes, and the remaining nine yuan were made up of some one-yuan notes.

Yunxi counted the money and, after confirming that the quantity was correct, put it directly into her pocket. Then, pretending to take something out of her basket, she took out the deer antler she had just taken out of her spatial storage and handed it to the old man.

"Grandpa, take a look at this deer antler. What do you think of its quality?"

Zhang Jingyuan examined the deer antler and checked it thoroughly, finding that it was indeed quite good.

"Young lady, this deer antler is of good quality, but I won't lie, only the middle section is usable, the rest is unusable."

Yunxi nodded. She knew this, after all, she hadn't read those books on medicinal herbs for nothing.

“I know, does the old man have any tools here? If he does, just remove the useless ones and weigh the useful ones.”

Seeing that the little girl wasn't being unreasonable, Zhang Jingyuan nodded and took out his medicinal herb cutting tools. He cut off the useless parts of the deer antlers, leaving only the useful velvet.

The antlers, which were originally as big as tree branches, were cut off, leaving very little of them.

Zhang Jingyuan took out his special tool for weighing medicinal materials and weighed the deer antler. Unexpectedly, it weighed two jin (1,060 grams).
