The boss chuckled at the comment, "Cordyceps are indeed as precious as gold and considered the uncrowned king of Chinese medicine. It's only things like ambergris and Centennial Ginseng that are more expensive."
"However, we have some smaller ones here, for just two hundred yuan each. Compare for yourself."
The boss led Su Wen to look at the second glass dish.
These Cordyceps were too expensive; each dish displayed them neatly lined up because losing just two or three could cost hundreds of yuan.
"I'll take the large ones, ten of them," Su Wen placed his order directly. The boss nodded, pulled out an exquisite brocade box and tweezers, and carefully placed each Cordyceps into the box before weighing it on the electronic scale.
"Total weight 158 grams, the box is a standard 150-gram container. That makes it 8 grams of Cordyceps for two thousand yuan. Do you want to check it yourself?"
