Chapter 12: Selling ginseng, shocked brother and sister
Yu Banxia raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this shop was indeed good. No wonder it had such a good reputation.
The three brothers and sisters were dressed in ordinary clothes, but the guy did not look down on them. Yu Banxia instantly had a better impression of the Huichun Pavilion.
When they arrived at the inner room, Yu Banxia took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth from Yu Mancang's backpack.
The ginseng was still covered in mud, and its roots were clearly visible, and it grew so perfectly.
The guy had a nonchalant look on his face, but when he saw what was wrapped in cloth, his eyes widened instantly.
Wild ginseng over a hundred years old? !
No wonder they have to go into the inner room to talk. If this thing is opened outside, it will spread out quickly.
The old lady of the Mo family in the south of the city is now counting on a wild ginseng to save her life. If this were to be known, it would be hard to say who the ginseng belongs to.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. This thing is too valuable. I can't make the decision. I will go and call the shopkeeper over."
With that, the waiter ran out, and soon another waiter came in and served tea and snacks.
Yu Banxia saw that the waiter came in without even glancing around.
He put down the snacks and went out directly. Yu Mancang and the other man felt a little embarrassed, while Yu Banxia picked up the tea bowl and tasted it elegantly.
He raised his brows slightly, it turned out to be the best pre-rain Longjing tea.
"Hahaha, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, my three friends." A middle-aged man walked in with a smile and looked at the three of them first.
Finally, his gaze fell on Yu Banxia, who was calmly drinking tea, but he didn't keep staring at the girl.
Soon his eyes fell on the ginseng mountain.
"Miss, I'm Zhao Zhongxian, the shopkeeper of Huichun Pavilion. May I take a closer look?" The shopkeeper clasped his fists and bowed, then introduced himself to Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia made a gesture of invitation and continued drinking tea.
Zhao Zhongxian took the ginseng in his hand, examined it carefully, and finally put it down with satisfaction.
"Girl, how much taels of ginseng do you want to pay?"
When Yu Banxia saw him asking, she simply raised two fingers.
Yu Mancang looked excited and looked at Yu Banyue. This ginseng could actually be sold for twenty taels of silver?
Zhao Zhongxian laughed and nodded: "Miss, the price you ask is reasonable. This quality of ginseng is also perfect. Are you proficient in pharmacology?"
"I know a little bit, but I'm not very good at it."
"Otherwise, I would have prepared it and brought it here. At that time, it would not be something that could be bought with two hundred taels."
After hearing Yu Banxia’s words, Yu Mancang and his sister were shocked. How much? !
Two hundred taels!
The two were stunned by the huge number, and were so surprised that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
"Hahaha, it seems that the girl really understands medical skills and pharmacology."
"Indeed, if this wild ginseng has been processed, it will not be something that can be bought with just two hundred taels."
"Then I will take charge of the ginseng. If you have other herbs later, you can come to me to sell them. You are always welcome to come."
Zhao Zhongxian smiled happily. He thought that the owner would definitely be very happy to get such a ginseng.
"Give me thirty taels of silver in change, and the rest in the form of silver ingots worth ten taels. Can you do that?" Yu Banxia asked Zhao Zhongxian.
Zhao Zhongxian was stunned at first, thinking that it was not safe to carry so much silver on him, but then he didn't say it and nodded.
He asked the clerk to go to the bank to withdraw money, and he sat with them and talked with the Yu brothers and sisters.
Yu Mancang felt a little embarrassed and spoke haltingly.
Yu Banxia couldn't bear to see her brother and sister feel awkward, so she started talking to Zhao Zhongxian.
After a while, the two of them became more and more interested in the conversation. Yu Mancang then breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea.
Oh, it’s so bitter.
I saw my sister drinking so happily just now, and I thought it must be delicious.
"This Longjing tea before the rain is good, with a sweet aftertaste." Somehow the topic turned to tea, Yu Banxia said to Zhao Zhongxian while holding the tea bowl.
Zhao Zhongxian laughed and said, "I never thought that a small place like Yunshan Town could hide a woman as smart and intelligent as you. If you were a man, you would definitely be able to achieve something."
"Oh, does the shopkeeper think that women don't deserve their own piece of the sky?" Yu Banxia put down the tea bowl and looked at Zhao Zhongxian with raised eyebrows.
Zhao Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud: "That's right, we also have female officials in the Southern Jin Kingdom."
"The girl is very knowledgeable, proficient in medicine, pharmacology, and even has a high level of scholarship. What's more, she even knows the tea ceremony. I really admire her."
"Shopkeeper Zhao is also very good." Yu Banxia also smiled and praised him.
Zhao Zhongxian laughed and liked the girl even more.
"This is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise it, young lady." Zhao Zhongxian called a waiter over and filled a jar of tea for her.
Yu Banxia didn't hesitate to take it and thanked him.
"Thank you, Manager Zhao. I also have a kind of tea. It's not a famous tea, but it's very rare. It's called Cloud Top Mist Tea. Next time my third brother comes to town, I'll ask him to bring some for you."
Zhao Zhongxian was a little curious, and bowed with a smile, saying, "Then I will wait for you, my friend."
"Hmm." Yu Banxia raised her eyebrows and then looked towards the door.
Zhao Zhongxian looked over curiously, and soon heard footsteps, followed by a waiter walking in.
Zhao Zhongxian also imitated her and raised his eyebrows. This girl has a good hearing, or is she also a martial artist?
In fact, it was Xiaobai’s reminder that made Yu Banxia know about it.
"Girl, this is the silver you wanted. Please check to see if the amount is correct." The waiter put the silver on the table and considerately placed a small scale.
Yu Mancang stepped forward and Yu Banyue helped on the side.
After weighing, he nodded to Yu Banxia, then bowed to Zhao Zhongxian and said, "Manager Zhao, the amount of silver and money is correct."
"In this way, the transaction is settled." Zhao Zhongxian also returned the greeting and said with a smile.
Yu Banxia also stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Zhao Zhongxian.
The three siblings left the inner room and went straight out of the pharmacy.
Zhao Zhongxian pushed open the window of the inner room, looked at the three siblings who were talking and laughing as they left, and chuckled, "Interesting. Although that girl is wearing ordinary clothes, her every move shows her nobility and upbringing."
"This Yunshan Town actually produced such a talented woman."
Yu Banxia reached his hand into the backpack, and Yu Mancang clearly felt the basket become lighter, and he had an idea in his mind.
The reason why he wanted small change was that Xiaobai said that the space could now take out some small things. After Yu Banxia asked if the silver could be put in, he asked for small change and cash.
This will make things easier in the future. After all, they don't live in a town, and silver bills are not very convenient.
"Where are we going now?" Yu Mancang was very excited.
Now that the family has money, my nephew can go to school, and my sister-in-law will no longer be mean to her younger sister.
"Go buy some things. I need to make some soy sauce, and then buy some food, rice and flour."
After hearing what Yu Banxia said, Yu Mancang and his sister didn't think it was a problem, after all, the money was earned by her.
