Chapter 237: Apologize
This medicine dealer, known as Old Gou, didn’t have a huge backlog of Codonopsis, but he still had around seven hundred pounds of it.
However, the quality, well, left something to be desired.
He had already sliced it; the large and small pieces were mixed together.
Pan Xiaoxia opened a few bags and immediately was displeased, "Old Gou, this really won’t do. What we need is over one centimeter each. Look at what you’ve done here—with this quality, we can’t offer that price anymore."
"The roots are thick at one end and thin at the other. Once cut, it always ends up like this," Old Gou argued as he grabbed a handful.
"Old Gou, we’re all in the same line of work. There’s no need to make excuses," Pan Xiaoxia waved her hand to cut off Old Gou’s explanation, "Drop the price by two dollars. If the customer accepts these goods, we’ll mix them in. If they don’t, we’ll have to let it go."
"I’m speaking honestly, we’re really short on stock, but the customer has high standards. We have to take a gamble. With the market this depressed, people have every reason to be picky, don’t you think?"
There’s a way to sell sliced Codonopsis, and a way to sell whole roots.
Additionally, after slicing, many medicine dealers choose to mix in those with a diameter under 0.5 centimeters.
As the saying goes, for every clever move, there is a counter move.
Thick ones are cut into thin slices, and thin ones into small dices. After mixing them up like this, is it considered good or bad?
