"Young lady, are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?"

As soon as I entered the pharmacy, the pharmacy owner, who happened to be free, hurriedly greeted me.

"I went to the mountains this morning to pick some medicinal herbs. May I ask if the shopkeeper would like to buy them?"

Lin Xue took her basket to the open space in front of the counter, then took out the prey on it, revealing the medicinal herbs underneath.

"We purchase medicinal herbs based on their quality. We need to know what kind of herbs they are before we can determine the price!"

Upon hearing that she had come to sell medicinal herbs, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and looked at the contents of Lin Xue's basket.

"This he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) is quite large!"

"This one is so big, it must weigh more than two pounds!"

The shopkeeper took the medicinal herb that Lin Xue had dug up, examined it carefully, and then weighed it in his hand. He was very satisfied!

"They were just dug up this morning, they're still fresh!"

Upon hearing that this thing was actually He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), Lin Xue said she had learned something new and would be more careful when she went up the mountain in the future.

It's not like we haven't dug up He Shou Wu before in the Orc World, but those were the ones with leaves and roots. This time, I really didn't recognize it.

"Let me see what else is there besides Polygonum multiflorum?"

The shopkeeper carefully placed the he shou wu on the counter, not minding that it was still covered in mud.

Then he squatted down and looked at the other medicinal herbs.

"These few Solomon's seal seeds are of very good quality, but since your herbs are unprocessed, the price may not be as high as the processed ones!"

The shopkeeper carefully took out all the medicinal herbs from Lin Xue's basket.

"Please name your price, shopkeeper!"

Lin Xue remained silent, waiting for the shopkeeper to offer a price.

"To be honest, young lady, this he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) is probably several hundred years old. Although it's not as valuable as a thousand-year-old he shou wu, it's still quite good!"

"However, since this is fresh and unprocessed, I can only offer ten taels!"

"As for these few Solomon's Seal seeds, they're worth at most an ounce!"

Lin Xue heard the other party's quote and knew that the value of this He Shou Wu should be more than that, but the doctor was already very conscientious to offer ten taels.

"Shopkeeper, can't we add a little more?"

"I'll give you two pheasants as a bonus for fifteen taels!"

Pheasants are not valuable, and they are tougher and smaller than domestic chickens.

Domestic chickens only cost a few hundred coins, and city dwellers buy wild pheasants just to eat something fresh.

"You little wench, fine, fine, fifteen taels it is!"

"But you have to give me those two rabbits too. If you get any good medicinal herbs in the future, you have to send them to me!"

The shopkeeper glanced at the two pheasants on the ground and thought that his family hadn't had stewed chicken in a long time, so he could take them home and have his wife stew them.

We can leave the two rabbits here and sell them to the shopkeeper next door later. He knows that the owner of the pastry shop next door loves to eat rabbit meat.

"I'll give you one more rabbit at most. The last one is for my older brother!"

Lin Xue did the math in her mind. A wild rabbit wouldn't sell for more than a tael of silver. Giving him both wouldn't be a bad idea, but she was still a little reluctant to give them all away.

"Alright, alright!"

"Here is fifteen taels of silver. Young lady, now that you have obtained these fine medicinal herbs, remember to come back to our Renji Hall!"

Although the income from one less rabbit was lost, the shopkeeper felt much better knowing he could still earn one.

Even so, he still made a profit.

We made the right choice in acquiring these medicinal herbs today. Actually, even without the two pheasants and the rabbit, the shopkeeper would have agreed to pay 15 taels of silver.

However, the sense of accomplishment from squeezing out more is quite different.

"No problem, the price you offered was really reasonable, shopkeeper. I'll definitely bring you back next time I gather herbs!"

Lin Xue put the last wild rabbit into her basket and said goodbye to the shopkeeper as she walked out.

After leaving the pharmacy, Lin Xue headed straight for Huang's Restaurant.

"Third sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

If Liu remembers correctly, the third son should be going home today, so why is his wife in town?

"This morning I went to the mountains with my mother and second sister-in-law to dig for wild vegetables. We found two medicinal herbs and sold them in town. This wild rabbit was also found in the mountains this morning. You can keep it for yourselves, brother and sister-in-law!"

"I still need to buy pork, I'll be back in a bit, so I won't bother you any longer!"

Lin Xue put the rabbit in the kitchen and prepared to leave.

"Hey, third sister-in-law, don't rush off! Your eldest brother bought a lot of meat this morning! Just take some from the shop, why bother going to the butcher shop? We're regular customers here, so we can get much cheaper meat than you!"

Liu grabbed Lin Xue's arm and pulled her back.

"Sister-in-law, that meat is for your business, how can I take it?"

Lin Xue didn't want the meat that Liu Shi offered. She wasn't short of a few copper coins, so there was no need for her to take meat from the shop.

"Third sister-in-law, aren't you being a bit unconventional?"

"If the shop doesn't have enough meat, we can get some from the butcher. We're regular customers, and it's several coins cheaper per pound than if you buy it there!"

Liu didn't let Lin Xue leave. Instead, she went into the kitchen and asked Huang Dequan to cut about three pounds of pork belly and put it into Lin Xue's basket.

"Alright, here's the meat. Go home now!"

After putting the meat into Lin Xue's basket, Liu Shi didn't try to stop her and pushed Lin Xue towards the shop door.

"Third Aunt, you're here? Did your sister-in-law come with you?"

Just as they reached the store entrance, Huang Zhiqiang, who had been out playing all morning, ran back and bumped right into them.
