The pharmacist at the clinic gestured to put down the backpack and said, "Take each one and calculate it carefully."
Li Xinheng grabbed the handles with both hands and lifted the backpack off Fu Beimo's back.
The two of them spread the herbs on the ground together.
The pharmacist arranged the herbs in different categories and patted the dirt off his hands. "Asparagus cochinchinensis, Peucedanum chinense, Gastrodia elata, Pueraria root, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Polygonum multiflorum are indeed good herbs, and the prices are also good."
Yan Funing nodded. She specifically picked out medicinal herbs with good prices.
The pharmacist pointed out each one and said, "Asparagus cochinchinensis is 185 coins per jin, Peucedanum chinense is 155 coins per jin, and Gastrodia elata is 350 coins per jin..."
Finally, he pointed to the two Polygonum multiflorums and said, "These Polygonum multiflorums are young and cannot be sold at a high price."
Li Xinheng hadn't expected a pile of what looked like turnips and radish roots to be so valuable. He immediately asked, "If I can't sell it for a high price, how much is it?"
The pharmacist spread out his five fingers and said, "Five hundred coins per pound."
Li Xinheng's eyes widened when he heard this. Half an ounce of silver per pound of turnips was not considered a high price.
Yan Funing said, "Then please ask the pharmacist to weigh the herbs."
The pharmacist nodded and asked the waiter to weigh it.
The final price was calculated to be three thousand three hundred coins.
The pharmacist took out three taels of silver and three hundred copper coins from the counter and gave them to Yan Funing.
"Girl, the fact that you can dig up these herbs shows that you understand medicine. But I'd like to remind you that some herbs are dried, and some are sliced and processed, so they can be sold at a higher price."
Yan Funing nodded gratefully: "Thank you for the advice, Pharmacist!"
Apart from selling Ganoderma lucidum twice, she has no other experience in selling medicinal herbs.
I originally thought that the medicinal herbs, if dug up, would be intact in shape and undamaged, and could be sold at a high price.
I had no idea that in ancient times, medicinal materials could fetch higher prices after being processed.
Now that she knew, she was grateful.
Seeing that she was humble and eager to learn, the pharmacist said, "For herbs like Polygonum multiflorum, don't slice them. The older the better. Some people specifically want them whole."
Yan Funing said, "I have learned my lesson."
When Fu Ciyi came out of the bookstore, he immediately saw a husband helping his wife choose a pearl hairpin at a stall.
Suddenly remembering that Yan Funing had never worn such ornaments on her head since she moved to the countryside, he went to the stall.
Not knowing what color she liked, he stood in front of the stall for a long time and finally chose a royal blue pearl hairpin with kingfisher feathers.
The stall owner put the pearl hairpin into the box and said with a smile, "Sir, you have good taste. This pearl hairpin will look great on a lady with fair skin. The royal blue color will complement her skin."
Fu Ciyi's lips curved slightly: "Her skin is quite white."
I turned around and saw a handheld mirror on the stall and immediately picked one up.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up another one.
After paying the money, Fu Ciyi took the paper bag containing the box and the mirror and went to look for Yan Funing.
At this moment, Yan Funing, Fu Beimo and Li Xinheng had just left the clinic.
The four of them reunited.
Yan Funing said, "You must be hungry. The restaurants in the county are all expensive. I can't afford them. Let's just have noodles."
"I love noodles." Fu Beimo was very considerate.
Li Xinheng: "Miss, it's your treat. Anything is fine."
A few of them found a noodle shop and ordered four bowls of beef noodles.
When it was time to pay after eating, Fu Ciyi took out the money first, but was stopped by Fu Beimo: "Brother, sister-in-law will pay. The noodles we are eating today are from sister-in-law."
"Bei Mo is so cute." Yan Funing smiled and paid the money.
Fu Beimo was overjoyed when his sister-in-law praised him for being cute.
Return to the oxcart.
The two brothers stretched out their arms towards Yan Funing, one on the left and one on the right.
She thought about it and finally got into the car by herself without helping.
On the way, Yan Funing sat in the front of the car because she wanted to talk to Li Xinheng.
When she first arrived, she and Bei Mo were sitting at the back of the car. Now, when she moved to the front, she unexpectedly came face to face with Fu Ciyi.
Just when Fu Ciyi thought their relationship had eased, Yan Funing didn't even look at him.
She turned sideways and said to Li Xinheng, "Brother Li, I'll probably go to the city two or three times a month from now on. If you don't charge for the ox cart, I'll feel bad. You still have to collect the fare."
As he said this, he took out a handful of copper coins.
Li Xinheng turned back and said, "Miss, I can't accept your money. I want to become your disciple."
Fu Ciyi: “???”
Yan Funing: "Ah?"
Li Xinheng asked Yan Funing to put away the copper coins, turned back to drive the carriage, and explained, "That basket of turnips and radish roots is too valuable. I want to go digging for turnips and radish roots with you."
Fu Beimo frowned: "What are turnips and radish roots? They are all medicinal herbs. We don't know them, only my sister-in-law knows them."
"So I want to take you as my master, follow you around and make money. I want to learn Kung Fu and martial arts from you."
Yan Funing smiled and said, "This basket of medicinal herbs today was dug by Beimo Ali and I over the past ten days."
Li Xinheng said honestly, "That's still more profitable than driving a rickshaw."
He could only earn six or seven hundred coins by driving an ox cart for a month.
Considering that he was such a big man, it would be too embarrassing to talk about such a small amount of money, so he didn't mention it.
Fu Beimo shook his head: "I am stupid, but Ali has been learning from my sister-in-law for nearly ten days, and he is still digging up the roots himself. Brother Li, I don't think you can learn it."
Li Xinheng frowned, "Is that so?"
He is careless and there is a possibility that he really cannot learn it.
Yan Funing added, "We'll go into the mountains some other day. You can come with me."
Li Xinheng happily agreed.
Whether you can learn it or not, just learn it first.
Fu Ciyi closed his eyes and rested.
What a Li Xinheng! He said before that he would take him as his master, but today he wants to take Yan Funing as his master.
And there is Fu Beimo. When he was still in the Fu Mansion, he always revolved around his brother all day long, but now he keeps revolving around Yan Funing.
