C8 Selling Ganoderma Lucidum

Seeing Madam Qian being fooled by him, Soong Qiu'er's heart was full of cold sweat. She knew that Soong Bao'er must have noticed something, but it was pulled away by the brainless Madam Qian.

Soong Qiu'er slowly spread the herbs on the roof. Ah Mu was tall and big, so he just carried them below and it was quiet for a while. After drying the herbs, Soong Qiu'er was still worried, so she asked Ah Mu to carry some straw and mix it with the herbs himself.

From a distance, they looked like straw. Soong Qiu'er was the only one who didn't know where the medicinal plants were. She clapped her hands and jumped down from the roof, entering the woodshed.

Soong Qiu'er took out the Ganoderma from her pocket, afraid that Soong Bao'er would take it away immediately after seeing it. After thinking for a long time, she decided to put it on a piece of barren land behind the woodshed to dry.

She broke off a piece of Lingzhi petal, wiped off the dirt on it, cut it into a small piece with a knife, then ran to the kitchen to carry two bowls of brown rice porridge and a dish of side dishes. She then divided the Lingzhi into two bowls, gave one bowl to Ah Mu, and kept one bowl for herself to drink.

Soong Qiu'er was stunned by his gaze, so she took another sip and passed it to Ah Mu. Ah Mu took it and looked at her hesitantly: "Aren't you hungry?"

"I've already eaten my fill of that biscuit. Drink it, I'll go out and rummage through the herbs." Soong Qiu'er shook her head and signaled Ah Mu to drink it quickly before she walked out of the room.

It was now noon and she had entered the mountain early in the morning. She was naturally not full with one biscuit, but Ah Mu was a big man. She only served him a bowl of porridge because she did not think well of him.

Soong Qiu'er climbed onto the roof and turned the herb over before covering her stomach.

In the next few days, the weather was always warm, and the herbs and lingzhi were all dried up. There was a medicinal herb dealer who came to the village to purchase the herbs, and when he saw Soong Qiu'er wanting to go up and demand a price, she stopped him outside. Soong Qiu'er asked for the address of the town, and the next morning, before the chickens were ready to be crowed, he wrapped up the herbs and entered the city.

As Soong Qiu'er followed her memories to the town, it was already dawn and merchants were setting up stalls to sell the goods in their hands one after another. Soong Qiu'er walked into the medicine store and placed the herbs on the table.

The shopkeeper looked up and glanced at Soong Qiu'er. Perhaps because he felt that she was too young, he glanced at the medicinal plants on the table and disdainfully said, "Five liang."

"Five taels?" Soong Qiu'er's lips curved up in a subtle smile. She went up and picked up a stalk of Astragalus, "This astragalus is pure yellow and has a firm texture. It tastes slightly sweet and good. Does Manager think I don't know what's good?"

She paused for a moment, then threw the astragalus tree back onto the table. "If you are sincere about taking me away, and I am satisfied with the price, I have even better ones. However, don't play any tricks on me."

Soong Qiu'er kicked a nearby wooden chair, causing it to fly and crash into the wall. The fall actually split it into pieces.

A commotion broke out. It was rare to see a martial arts practitioner in this town who was scared off by Soong Qiu'er. The shopkeeper even went up and spoke of the hero.

Soong Qiu'er remained calm on the surface, but her heart was in pain. She lowered her eyes without saying a word, and the shopkeeper was terrified. He picked up the medicinal plants on the table and looked at them carefully before cautiously saying, "Lady, I can offer you thirty taels to collect all these medicinal plants."

Seeing that Soong Qiu'er did not say anything, he thought she was dissatisfied, so he added, "This price is only for mature people. Seeing that you have such good quality and want to purchase it, I've only bid thirty taels."

Thirty silver coins was enough to save a family of ten years. When attendant, who was standing around, booed, Soong Qiu'er glanced around and knew that the shopkeeper was offering a real price, so she nodded and extended her hand. The shopkeeper did not dare to hesitate and gave thirty silver coins to Soong Qiu'er, instructing her subordinates to clean up the materials.

Soong Qiu'er sat there unmoving, her hand reaching into the small cloth bag on her waist. The shopkeeper looked down and saw that it was a jade plate, he quickly gestured for his disciple to go down first, then closed the door and rubbed his hands. "What else does Miss want to sell me?"

With a "pa" sound, Soong Qiu'er stood up and poured out the items from her pockets. They were all already dried Lingzhi and looked extremely good on the surface. The shopkeeper knew the goods and held them up in surprise, "This Lingzhi is very old, how much do you want?"

"You decide." Soong Qiu'er was unsure of what was going on, but she put on a solemn expression.

The shopkeeper weighed her for a moment, unable to grasp Soong Qiu'er's attitude. He then spread out his five fingers, "Fifty silver taels."

Fifty silver was equivalent to the price of all the medicinal plants on the table. Soong Qiu'er was elated, but she still raised the price slightly. "Seventy."

Presumably shocked by Soong Qiu'er's big mouth, the shopkeeper paused for a moment before saying carefully, "Lady, sixty taels is the highest we can give you. If it's even higher, we can only ask you to look elsewhere."

"Sure." Soong Qiu'er put down the two stalks of lingzhi root, picked up a small cloth and put the silver on the table, then the shopkeeper gave her the newly paid silver notes and silver and left the medicine store.
