After buying rice cakes for my little girl, I didn't linger and headed straight to the pharmacy.

There are two places that collect ginseng these days.

Besides being used in medical clinics and pharmacies, ginseng was also purchased by pawnshops.

However, fearing that the pawnshop would try to lower the price too much, Lin Weiming went directly to the pharmacy.

"Young man, are you trying to make fun of me? Trying to pass off a white radish as ginseng!" The pharmacy owner looked humiliated and threw the ginseng back.

Lin Weiming frowned, but still said sincerely, "Boss, please take another look! This ginseng is really something we dug up on the mountain. We didn't mean to tease you. Please take another look."

"What's so interesting about this? Could these places possibly produce ginseng that's a hundred years old? And even if they could, how could they possibly grow so lush and healthy in this drought?" Although the pharmacy owner had already decided that the father and daughter in front of him were just playing a trick on him, he still couldn't help but look at them.

The rhizome is growing quite well.

The pharmacy owner muttered to himself, but didn't show it.

Seeing that the pharmacy owner was determined not to believe him, Lin Weiming had no choice but to lose a little more money and prepare to go to the pawnshop.

"Since the boss won't believe me, I guess I'll have to go ask somewhere else." With that, he turned and left, taking Lin Wanyue's hand.

Seeing how decisively he left, the pharmacy owner became even more uneasy, and finally called out, "Wait! Let me take another look."

Lin Wanyue looked up at her father.

Her father was an educated man, so he definitely couldn't stand this kind of treatment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Weiming turned around and sat back down in front of the pharmacy owner.

The pharmacy owner took it much more seriously this time, picking up the ginseng in front of him and examining it closely.

He may not have achieved much in his life in the county, but he has certainly seen a lot in his life, yet he has never seen such a large ginseng root before.

But if it's fake, he's examined it carefully twice and really can't find any trace of forgery.

Some unscrupulous people will piece together the rhizomes of several ginseng roots onto one ginseng root to make it look like an old ginseng, hoping to take the opportunity to sell it at a high price.

But this one is quite different. If you count it by the root tip, it's only about thirty years old, not that old.

This one was much bigger than any of the century-old ginseng he had ever seen!

"I think you're a straightforward person, young man. I can only offer fifteen taels of silver for this ginseng at most. If you're willing, please put it down," the pharmacy owner said after thinking it over.

Lin Weiming had never sold ginseng before, but he had calculated it in his mind.

The taxes to be paid later will cost money, and the fabric to be bought will also cost money. It would be best to buy some oil and salt to take back as well. If there is any left over, it would be good to take some grain back with you.

However, the price of grain in the county town is high, so he probably won't be able to buy many kilograms. It would be better to save some money and go to the town or the market.

After some calculation, Lin Weiming felt that if this ginseng could be sold for ten taels of silver, that would be enough.

Now the boss is asking for five taels more than he expected, so of course he's happy to accept.

He was willing, but Lin Wanyue disagreed.

Laifu has no other skills besides being incredibly unlucky and living a long life.

Having spent some years in wealthy families and seen all sorts of merchant households, it immediately recognized the true value of this ginseng root.

"This boss is really stingy! This thing should be worth at least a hundred taels of silver. And that's the price in a small town. If it could be sold to those wealthy families in the capital, it would fetch several hundred taels of silver... What a pity!" Laifu sat on the roof beam, holding a lollipop given to him by Lin Wanyue, shaking his head as he spoke.

Lin Wanyue quickly covered her father's mouth, preventing him from agreeing.

"Too little!" Lin Wanyue shook her head angrily.

Lin Wanyue felt like she was about to explode with anger.

She could calculate the difference between fifteen taels of silver and one hundred taels of silver without even having to count on her fingers.

The pharmacy owner was just casually dismissing them!

And her father actually wanted to hold her back!

"Wanwan, fifteen taels of silver can buy a lot of pastries. After we sell them, Daddy will buy you crabapple cakes, okay?"

"No more crying!" Lin Wanyue shook off Lin Weiming's hand that was pulling her sleeve, her little face puffed up as she looked at the pharmacy owner, telling him seriously and angrily, "I won't sell it if it's too low!"

Seeing her like this, the pharmacy owner actually laughed out loud, "Little girl, doing business is between your father and me. Just eat your rice cake."

Although the pharmacy owner runs a pharmacy, a business that saves lives and makes money, he is still a business owner.

His eyes were sharp; he had already sized up the father and daughter the moment they entered. Although their clothes were clean, the cuffs and knees were patched, and they were wearing straw sandals.

They were clearly not from a wealthy family, nor could they possibly have any powerful backers.

That's why he initially mistook this rare ginseng for a white radish.

After all, it's already quite an achievement for a country person to recognize ginseng, so where would they get the good fortune to come across such a large one?

But unexpectedly, their family actually had some luck.

However, now that the item had fallen into his hands, the luck had become his.

Giving him fifteen taels is already considered quite kind of him!

As for wanting a higher price?
