The Tibetan child immediately looked overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, sir. Our cordyceps are all natural. My father dug them up from the mountains four to five thousand meters above sea level. My father has been digging cordyceps for decades, and he never uses shoddy cordyceps! "
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Let's take a look at the things first! As I said before, as long as the cordyceps are of good quality, money is not a problem. "
"Sir, if it's convenient, can you come to my house to take a look at the goods?" the Tibetan child asked carefully.
He then explained, "The best batch of cordyceps collected by my father is hidden at home. I don't dare to take it out easily. I'm afraid that Tashi Dorjee's people will find it …"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now! I hope your cordyceps can satisfy me! "
"You won't be disappointed!" The Tibetan child said quickly, "Please come with me!"
After that, the Tibetan child led the way and walked through the alleys with familiarity.
Xia Ruofei could see that he was very careful. He was trying to avoid crowded places and taking turns in the winding paths.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the Tibetan child had ulterior motives and deliberately took Xia Ruofei to a place with fewer people.
However, Xia Ruofei was skilled and bold. Even if the Tibetan child had some conspiracy, he wasn't afraid. He just followed behind and looked around from time to time. He seemed to be very interested in the Tibetan-style buildings in Nagqu County.
"By the way, what's your name?" Xia Ruofei asked casually.
The Tibetan child quickly said, "Sir, my name is Gesang Luobu. You can call me Gesang!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Gesang, your Chinese is good!"
Ge Sang smiled shyly and said, "Sir, my mother is a Han. She taught me all my Chinese."
"Really?" Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows in surprise.
It wasn't that there were no cases of intermarriage between Han and Tibetan, but it was relatively rare.
Ge Sang said sadly, "My mother passed away when I was eight years old, so my Chinese level …"
Xia Ruofei gently patted his shoulder and said: "I'm sorry."
Gesang soon smiled again and said, "Sir, it's okay! I was really sad when she passed away for two years, but I'm much better now. I just want to grow up quickly and earn a lot of money. That way, my father won't have to work so hard to dig for worm stalks. "
Xia Ruofei and Ge Sang chatted as they walked forward. After a short while, they came to the middle of a narrow alley. There was a shabby house here. When they came to the door, they could smell a pungent smell of medicine.
"Here we are!" Gesang said, "Sir, please come in!"
After that, Ge Sang opened the door and let Xia Ruofei in.
Gesang's house was a typical Tibetan house built with stones. It was three stories high and had a small courtyard in the middle. After walking in, they could see that the interior was actually very delicate and meaningful. The walls were painted with beautiful auspicious patterns, mainly blue, green, and red, which symbolized the blue sky, the land, and the sea.
As soon as they walked in, a middle-aged man's voice came from the house. He asked loudly in Tibetan, and Gesang immediately answered in a loud voice. Xia Ruofei couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Although Gesang was very young, he seemed to have a high EQ. After answering, he immediately explained to Xia Ruofei, "Sir, my father is asking who is here. I told him that I brought a guest to see the caterpillar fungus."
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile.
Gesang said again, "Sir, please come in!"
He took Xia Ruofei to a dimly lit room, where the smell of medicine was the strongest. Xia Ruofei vaguely saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man sitting on a bamboo recliner. His left leg was swollen and covered with some black ointment. The pungent smell was coming from this ointment.
Xia Ruofei had learned some traditional Chinese medicine halfway, but he couldn't tell what medicine was used. He guessed that it should be a wound medicine made by Tibetan doctors.
As soon as Gesang entered the room, he said a few words to his father in Tibetan. Then his father looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Where are you from, sir?"
He spoke Chinese well. It seemed that he had learned it from his Han wife.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "My surname is Xia. I came here from Southeast Province to buy some high-quality caterpillar fungus, but I'm not satisfied with the ones on the market. Gesang happened to say that you have good caterpillar fungus at home, so I came to have a look."
Kelsang's father nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Xia. My name is Suo Lang Renzeng. Kelsang is right. Our family's Cordyceps were all dug up by my relatives and me. The quality of the Cordyceps varies, but they are definitely authentic!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Let me take a look at the goods!"
Suo Lang Renzeng nodded and motioned to Gesang. Gesang immediately walked out of the room and came back with three or four bags in a short while.
Gesang said, "Mr. Xia, these are caterpillar fungus that my father dug up and dried himself. The quality in this bag is the highest. Two of them are one gram!"
After that, Gesang looked at Xia Ruofei eagerly.
The quality of caterpillar fungus was a bit similar to that of abalone. The bigger the caterpillar fungus, the higher the value. There were about 2,000 caterpillars for one kilogram of high-quality caterpillar fungus, 2,500 caterpillars for one kilogram, 3,000 caterpillars for one kilogram, and 1,500 caterpillars for one kilogram.
But this was not an absolute standard. The quality of the caterpillar fungus itself was also very important.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and directly opened the bag of caterpillar fungus that Gesang pointed out.
Gesang said, "Mr. Xia, look, the surface of the caterpillar fungus is yellow, and the ring pattern on its back is very clear. There are eight pairs of legs on its abdomen, and the four pairs in the middle are very obvious. The front part is darker, and the front three pairs have degenerated. You can clearly see that it has brownish-red eyes on its head, and the color of the grass head is also very good. It is definitely the most authentic caterpillar fungus."
Suo Lang Renzeng did not speak. He just looked at Gesang selling caterpillar fungus to Xia Ruofei with a trace of relief. He seemed to be deliberately training his child.
Xia Ruofei listened and nodded slightly. From time to time, he picked up a caterpillar fungus and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes. He looked very serious.
Neither Gesang nor Suo Lang Renzeng noticed that one of the caterpillar fungus in the bag had disappeared into thin air.
There were at least one or two thousand caterpillars in this bag, so it was naturally impossible to find out that one was missing.
This caterpillar fungus was secretly sent into the Ring-Tu space by Xia Ruofei. At the same time, he communicated with Xia Qing with his spiritual thoughts and asked him to identify the quality of this caterpillar fungus immediately.
Xia Ruofei chatted with Gesang unhurriedly while waiting for Xia Qing's appraisal result.
Soon, Xia Qing gave Xia Ruofei feedback. As expected, this caterpillar fungus was the best one among all the caterpillars that Xia Ruofei had bought today. It also had obvious characteristics, indicating that this caterpillar fungus was indeed produced in Nagqu, Tibet.
The caterpillar fungus in Nagqu still had some distinctive characteristics, such as yellow color, uniform fat, translucent and oily, and a strong smell of butter. It was easy for insiders to judge.
After getting a positive answer from Xia Qing, Xia Ruofei did not hesitate and said directly, "Gesang, your caterpillar fungus are really good. If the price is right, I'll take them all."
Gesang was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly and then said, "Mr. Xia, thank you! I still have some slightly smaller ones here … "
"Gesang!" Suolang Renzheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Mr. Xia wants the best caterpillar fungus. Don't take out those Level 2 and Level 3 caterpillars."
Xia Ruofei looked at Suolang Renzheng with a smile. He felt that this middle-aged Tibetan was quite interesting. Judging from Gesang's age, Suolang Renzheng was at most in his forties. However, the years of living in the highlands made him look older. The vicissitudes of life were written on his face, but at the same time, he looked very wise. His cloudy eyes seemed to be able to see through all kinds of things in the world.
"Oh!" Gesang nodded with disappointment.
Then he immediately thought of those Level 1 caterpillars. If Xia Ruofei bought all of them, it would bring him a lot of money. It would be much more than what Zashi Dorjee forced him to sell them. At least, it would be enough to treat his father's injury.
So Gesang's eyes quickly became eager again. He looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Xia, we sell Level 1 caterpillars for about 250,000 yuan per kilogram. If you buy them in China, it would cost at least 300,000 yuan. If you are willing to buy all of them, I can give you 220,000 yuan per kilogram."
Xia Ruofei nodded secretly. Xia Ruofei had done some research about the price of the best caterpillar fungus. He knew that Gesang was not asking for too much. The price was quite reasonable.
In fact, the 16888 yuan gift box that Boss Lin said before contained the Level 1 caterpillar fungus. If converted to unit price, it would be close to 340,000 yuan per kilogram.
Of course, this was only the price at the end of the channel. In Naqu, where the caterpillar fungus was produced, it would naturally not be so expensive. The premise was that one had to have enough discernment skills to be able to buy authentic Naqu caterpillar fungus.
Under Gesang's expectant gaze, Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "No problem! Let's do it at this price! "
Gesang immediately thanked him excitedly. Solan Renzeng could not help but show a hint of excitement.
These caterpillars were his main harvest today. Although there were some Level 2 and Level 3 caterpillars, the most valuable ones were all here.
Solan Renzeng was a famous caterpillar. Zashi Dorjee had sent people to buy caterpillars from him several times, but Solan Renzeng had used the excuse that this year's harvest was not good to fool him with some inferior caterpillars.
Although Zashi Dorjee was not without suspicion, Solan Renzeng dug up all the Level 1 caterpillars himself and did not buy them from other relatives. Plus, Gesang had hidden these treasures very well. Later, Solan Renzeng fell and broke his leg, so Zashi Dorjee resentfully gave up.
Gesang quickly weighed these caterpillars in front of Xia Ruofei. They were 853 grams in total.
Gesang took out a calculator and said, "Mr. Xia, let's make it 800 grams! That's 176,000 yuan in total. "
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "The number is correct, but I don't have that much cash on me. You definitely can't swipe your card here. The bank is closed now, so we can only wait until tomorrow to withdraw the money. "
In fact, Xia Ruofei had at least a million in cash in the Space. However, he naturally could not take out the money on the spot. Otherwise, it would be too illogical — no one would bring so much cash and walk around outside for an entire afternoon. Moreover, it was in the unfamiliar Tibetan area.
Solan Renzeng was also a straightforward person. He immediately said, "No problem. Mr. Xia, where are you staying? I'll ask Gesang to send the caterpillars to you tomorrow. "
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "I started to walk around the caterpillar street as soon as I got off the car. I haven't found a hotel yet! Why don't we exchange our contact information? It's not safe for Gesang to go out with such precious caterpillars. Besides, Zashi Dorjee's people are outside! Let's do the trade here! "
"Okay!" Solan Renzeng said with a smile.
Gesang didn't have a mobile phone yet, so Xia Ruofei and Solan Renzeng exchanged mobile phone numbers. This number was an anonymous card that Xia Ruofei bought before he set off.
Xia Ruofei entered Solan Renzeng's mobile phone number and dialed it. As soon as Solan Renzeng's mobile phone rang, Xia Ruofei hung up the phone and said with a smile, "I really can't find you here. I'll text you after I book the hotel tonight. I'll call you tomorrow after I withdraw the money. You can ask Gesang to pick me up at the hotel."
"No problem!" Solan Renzeng said straightforwardly.
He didn't ask Xia Ruofei to leave a deposit or anything. It could be seen that this Tibetan man was very honest.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had been secretly memorizing the route on the way here. For a former special warfare elite, memorizing the route was a beginner's skill. Even if Gesang took him around a few more times, he could clearly draw the route in his mind.
However, Xia Ruofei still had something to discuss with Gesang. He could talk about it on the way from the hotel to Gesang's house, so he made this request.
Xia Ruofei didn't really come to Naqu to buy caterpillars this time. He wanted to try to restore the formation environment of caterpillars in Ring-Tu space, so that this precious medicinal material could be continuously produced in Ring-Tu space.
The previous purchase of caterpillars was just Xia Ruofei's preparation work.
Xia Ruofei refused Gesang's kindness to send him out. He left Gesang's house alone and walked to the street according to his memory. He stopped a taxi and found a hotel called Naqu Hotel.
In fact, this three-star hotel was basically the best in Naqu County.
After checking in, Xia Ruofei washed up, played with his mobile phone for a while, and went to bed directly.
The next day, he waited until nine o 'clock to call Solan Renzeng. He told him the name of the hotel and the room number. At the same time, he took out 176,000 yuan in cash from the space, put it in a plastic bag, and stuffed it into his canvas bag.
Xia Ruofei didn't wait for long before the doorbell rang. Gesang had already arrived.
Xia Ruofei directly called a taxi from the hotel's front desk, and then took the taxi with Gesang to his house.
After getting off at the entrance of an alley, Xia Ruofei paid the fare and walked into the alley with Gesang.
Gesang walked very briskly, because what he worried about didn't happen. Xia Ruofei kept his promise and informed him of the transaction after withdrawing the money.
