Wang family, at the west end of the village, lost an unlucky little girl. Xu family, at the east end of the village, picked up a girl named Fuman'er.
Everyone in the village said, "Th...
Because of the delay in the morning, the Xu family arrived in town close to noon. As soon as they entered the market, someone asked them why they were so late.
Xu Genshan made up a random excuse to get away with it, but there was no time to lose now, as there were already many people buying things at the market.

Fortunately, there were only five of us today, so the stall was set up quickly. Before the soup even started steaming, people came to buy some.
With the ginseng on her person, Old Mrs. Xu was worried that with so many people around, something might go wrong. Seeing that Ma Hong and Liu Fang could handle things, she left Old Mr. Xu to help clear the table and left with Xu Genshan.
Of course, Fu Man'er was also taken away by her, as she was afraid she wouldn't have time to take care of her when she was busy.
This was Fu Man'er's third time visiting town. Perched on Grandma Xu's shoulder, she was still too busy watching.
"Man'er, Grandma will buy you something to eat when she's done with her work." Grandma Xu patted her granddaughter's back. This girl has a big appetite, and they bring some food back from town every day.
Now that everyone has come to town, it would be unreasonable if they couldn't get anything to eat, especially since Man'er has made a great contribution.
"Um, Grandma, where are we going to sell ginseng?" Fu Man'er whispered to Grandma Xu, covering her mouth with her hand, afraid that the wind would blow her words to someone else's ears.
"Go to a clinic or pharmacy."
The clinics and pharmacies in town are different. The clinics both treat patients and dispense medicine, while the pharmacies only dispense medicine. Most people in the village would find a doctor in the village to treat their illness, write a prescription, and then go to the pharmacy to get their medicine.
After all, the doctors in the village charge less than the doctors in the town.

The reason why Grandma Xu mentioned these two places was to inquire about the prices and see which one was more suitable.
"Mother, I'll go in and ask first. You take Man'er and wait here," Xu Genshan said as they approached the clinic.
Grandma Xu understood that he wanted to test whether the price he quoted was fair, so she took Man'er aside so that no one would realize they were a family.
Xu Genshan came out quickly, but he did not walk towards Old Lady Xu. Instead, he went straight to another clinic on the street.
Finally, he walked over to Old Lady Xu and said, "Both families are paying twenty-five taels." The ginseng he took and asked about was the smallest one.
"I casually inquired and found out that the larger ones can sell for around thirty taels, while the biggest one in our family is between eighty and one hundred taels."
Hearing this price shocked Grandma Xu. She knew ginseng was valuable, but she didn't expect it to be this valuable.
"They weren't talking nonsense, were they? Are you asking the medicine seller or the doctor?" Old Mrs. Xu asked cautiously.
Xu Genshan shook his head. "I was lucky. The first clinic I went to had a doctor on duty, and the second one was run by the shopkeeper." This meant that the price was genuine.
Grandma Xu gave up the idea of asking again. At first, she was mainly worried that the shop assistants might not give her a fair price, but now that she was asking two people, their words carried weight, so there was no need to bother anymore.

After finding out the prices here, the mother and son took Fuman'er to another street, where there was a clinic that was the largest and oldest in town.
Grandma Xu went inside to inquire, while Fu Man'er and Xu Genshan waited outside. "Oh, beautiful auntie!" Fu Man'er exclaimed.
Xu Genshan didn't hear clearly and was about to ask her when he saw Fu Man'er jumping and shouting, "Pretty auntie, pretty auntie." She was waving her hand as she shouted.
As soon as Yu Miaoyi was helped off the carriage by the maid, she heard someone calling her "pretty auntie." She thought the title sounded familiar, and when she looked up, she saw a smiling little girl waving at her.
Seeing his daughter about to run forward, Xu Genshan quickly grabbed her, "Man'er."
A woman walked towards them, but Xu Genshan didn't recognize her and didn't know if Fu Man'er had called her just now.
Yu Miaoyi quickly walked over. "Man'er? Is it really you?" Her delicate face couldn't hide her surprise. She was surprised to run into Fu Man'er here, and she was also surprised by the changes in Fu Man'er.
When I first met Fu Man'er, she was still thin and small. Now the little girl has grown taller and become a bit plumper, with rosy lips and white teeth, she is very pretty.
“Pretty auntie, it’s me,” Fu Man’er said, tilting her head up. “Pretty auntie is even prettier than before.”
No woman dislikes being complimented on her beauty, especially by someone even more beautiful, even if it's just a child.

"Yes, she's even more beautiful now," Fu Man'er affirmed, her earnest expression making it impossible not to believe she was telling the truth.
Yu Miaoyi smiled and then remembered that there was someone standing next to Fu Man'er. Before she could ask, Fu Man'er turned around and started talking. Only then did Xu Genshan realize that this was a customer who had been selling fish with his son and daughter.
Judging from his clothes and demeanor, he clearly had the air of a wealthy family, yet he still went to buy fish himself.
"Thank you, Madam. My little girl is being a bit fussy." Xu Genshan bowed to the woman.
Yu Miaoyi nodded slightly, "Not at all, Man'er is very cute, and I am very happy to see her."
At this moment, the maid who had come with Yu Miaoyi ran over, "Madam, Doctor Lin has finished his consultations. We can go in now."
Yu Miaoyi turned to look at Fu Man'er, "Man'er, Auntie has something to attend to, so I'll be going now." She hadn't expected to see this child again, and felt it was quite a coincidence.
But she had important things to attend to right now, so she had to say goodbye to Fu Man'er.
As soon as she entered the door, Old Mrs. Xu came out, her steps becoming much more hurried, and walked towards them.
“Genshan, we’ve come to the right place. They’re offering a higher price, saying our ginseng is quite old and smells good. The largest one is worth 105 taels. It was examined by a doctor surnamed Lin, who seems to have quite a high status here.”

One hundred and five taels! That's a lot of silver! Old Mrs. Xu tried to stay calm inside, but once she came out, she couldn't control herself anymore.
Xu Genshu was also delighted. He was so lucky today, meeting people who knew their stuff and could value it.
"Mother, why don't we just sell all the ginseng here?" Xu Genshan felt that this was an established brand and would be more reliable.
“Grandma, let’s go here, let’s go here,” Fu Man’er said, holding her hand.
Actually, Grandma Xu wanted to ask other vendors, but seeing that her son and granddaughter had said so, she said, "Okay, then we'll sell here."
The three turned around and walked towards the clinic.
