Ye Yun wanted to retort, but Qin Zheng suddenly stepped on the gas. The momentum of the motorcycle made her hug Qin Zheng's waist tightly again. By the time she regained her balance, the motorcycle had already driven quite a distance away.

Tian Xiaohui was also furious.

Watching Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's figures recede into the distance, she stomped her foot in anger and slammed the bowl in her hand onto the table.

My five- or six-year-old niece looked on with curiosity and asked in a clear voice, "Auntie, who is that?"

Tian Xiaohui: "Zhang San! Li Si!"

"Oh..." The eldest niece nodded as if she understood, and dared not say another word.

Oh my, her aunt's expression right now is absolutely terrifying!

...

In the county town, Ye Yun and Qin Zheng split up. She asked Qin Zheng to drop her off in front of a traditional Chinese medicine shop, and then she asked him to drive to a repair shop to fix her motorcycle in order to save time.

Qin Zheng didn't want to leave her yet, fearing that she might get into trouble alone in the unfamiliar county town.

She had to use a lot of persuasion to get the person to leave.

She wanted to get home for lunch before noon, as the motorcycle repair would probably take a long time, and saving some time would definitely be good.

After watching Qin Zheng leave, she carried her bamboo basket into the traditional Chinese medicine shop.

The owner of the Chinese medicine shop was a chubby old man in his fifties, wearing reading glasses, who assumed she was there to get medicine.

Ye Yun unloaded the bamboo basket from her back, revealing the Polygonum multiflorum and wild ginseng inside.

"Oh? Where did you get these things?" The boss's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly looked her up and down.

Ye Yun said, "I picked it."

She didn't say where she sourced the sap, nor would she, only asking the boss for a price.

Upon hearing the price, the shop owner glanced at her, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face. "Sigh, if it were wild, the price could be a bit higher..."

"Boss, this is wild. I risked my life to pick it from the mountains."

“Well…” The boss stroked his chin, looked her up and down, stared at her still somewhat childish face, and held out a hand. “Fifty.”

"What?"

Ye Yun's lips twitched, realizing she had encountered a swindler today.

She turned and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey..." The pharmacy owner saw her about to leave and quickly grabbed her. "What price do you want? Just name your price, and if it's okay, we'll have a deal!"

Ye Yun then looked at the boss again.

"Boss, don't take advantage of me because I don't know anything. It's one thing for you to be a little greedy, but you can't be this greedy. These are all rare items, and you're only giving me fifty? Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Hehe... Since you know, why didn't you say so sooner?" The pharmacy owner looked embarrassed. "How about this, young lady, name your price. As long as I can afford it, I'll definitely take you!"

Ye Yun decisively extended two fingers.

"two hundred?"

The pharmacy owner stared wide-eyed in surprise when he saw the two fingers she held out.

Ye Yun smiled calmly, "Yes, two hundred yuan, I won't sell it for a penny less!"

"No, girl, that's asking for the moon!"

"Boss, these are wild-caught. If I took them to the provincial capital or a bigger city, I could get them for much more than this price. I just didn't want to travel anymore, so I thought I'd sell them in the county town. If you don't want them, I'll give them to someone else!"

Ye Yun didn't waste any more words with him. She slung her arm over the bamboo basket and turned to walk out.

Bargaining is how you do business.

It all depends on who can act!

"Ye Yun? What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from the doorway.

The familiar voice made Ye Yun look up in surprise, and her face darkened instantly when she saw the person opposite her.
