Chapter 97: Earning a Lot of Money
Xiao Lanyuan felt as if he was being controlled by Fu Zhaoning.
There has never been a woman who made him so powerless, but he still needs her.
"Then what good can this flower do for me?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"I can mix a nutrient solution with this flower. If there are more flowers, it can prolong its blooming period and keep blooming. I can make these flowers into sachets and add some other medicinal powders. One of them can be taken orally when pain strikes, and it will relieve the pain after drinking it."
Fu Zhaoning shook his hand, signaling him to let go.
Xiao Lanyuan had no choice but to let go of her hand.
"If you make it into a sachet, you can wear it with you at all times. When you encounter blood, put the sachet in front of your nose and smell it. It will relieve the impact of the bloody smell and you won't feel like vomiting or dizzy. Tell me, does this flower have a great effect on you? Believe me, no one is more suitable to buy this pot of flowers than you."
When she recognized the flower, she had already thought about betting on it and selling it to Xiao Lanyuan.
Because he is indeed the person who needs this pot of flowers the most right now.
It must be said that after hearing what she said, Xiao Lanyuan also felt that it would be a real pity if he didn't buy this pot of flowers.
"How much do you want to sell it for?" Xiao Lanyuan asked calmly.
Fu Zhaoning pointed a finger.
Xiao Lanyuan frowned, "One thousand taels?"
"What the hell are you thinking?" Fu Zhaoning rolled his eyes at him. "You didn't see it just now. Jia Yuanwai used it to gamble and received several thousand taels. It's only been a short while, and you want to buy a pot of flowers for only a thousand taels?"
"You used foul language?" Xiao Lanyuan was shocked by her.
Fu Zhaoning pursed his lips.
"It's just to express my shock at your price."
"So you mean, ten thousand taels?" Xiao Lanyuan was also shocked. "Should I also express my shock at your price?"
"Then you don't have to buy it." Fu Zhaoning took a step back, "I'm not really afraid of not being able to sell it."
She looked as if the negotiation had failed and turned around to leave.
Xiao Lanyuan immediately reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Stop. I didn't say I won't buy it." These words are really infuriating.
Ten thousand taels!
This woman is really daring to make money.
She just won this pot of flowers by betting without spending a penny, and then she sold it to him for ten thousand taels!
Zhong Jian and Qing Yi looked at each other and were both shocked.
However, why do they think it’s no big deal when the prince’s money is transferred to the princess?
"Come, take the banknotes. Do you want the goods to be delivered to your home? Do you have enough banknotes on you?" Fu Zhaoning immediately smiled.
"Qingyi."
Xiao Lanyuan gritted his teeth.
Since he came to the gambling and medicine festival, of course he was well prepared, and he was also here to look for medicine.
Qing Yi took out a thick stack of silver notes and gave them to Fu Zhaoning, all of which were worth one thousand taels.
Fu Zhaoning took the banknote and waved to Zhong Jian, "Zhong Jian, give the flowers to Qingyi."
"yes."
Zhong Jian immediately gave the pot of flowers to Qing Yi.
Fu Zhaoning bowed to Xiao Lanyuan and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Xiao Lanyuan looked at her like this and felt like hitting her on the head.
"Don't we need to add some medicine powder? Don't we need to give some nutrient solution?"
"I can give you a bottle of nutrient solution and I will prepare it when I get back. But if you want oral powder and sachets, the price will be different, Prince Jun." Fu Zhaoning smiled brightly.
"You want more money?"
"Of course, this is money for buying flowers, not for making medicine. However, I think I am probably the only one in Zhao Country who can make those two kinds of medicine."
Xiao Lanyuan felt that Fu Zhaoning was actually a little complacent.
"Okay, let's talk about this later when we get back to the palace." Xiao Lanyuan waved his hand. "I don't want to see you right now."
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Fu Zhaoning laughed twice, then turned and walked away.
Xiaotao watched the whole process and was stunned.
Is this how the young lady and Prince Jun get along? Isn't the young lady afraid of Prince Jun?
"Miss, you have earned so much money from King Jun, will he be angry?" Xiao Tao was very worried. What if King Jun gets angry?
"So what if I'm angry? It's okay, he still needs me." Fu Zhaoning said.
"What if he doesn't need it anymore?" Xiao Tao asked.
Fu Zhaoning paused, then continued, "Then let's wait until he doesn't need it anymore."
She doesn't care about that now.
Fu Zhaoning turned around and went to Lao Xu's stall.
The shopkeeper Hu Er did not recognize this kind of medicine at all. Several people came to take a look but did not recognize what this pile of bark-like things was. Some people did not even look at it and turned away when they heard that they had to pay two thousand taels to buy this medicine.
Many people were laughing at Lao Xu for being so poor that he wanted to sell such a small piece of tree bark for two thousand taels.
Lao Xu stood behind the stall with a dejected look on his face. He felt that the fee for entering the villa might have been wasted, as he would not be able to sell these herbs.
At this time, he saw Fu Zhaoning coming over again.
"I want your medicinal herbs." Fu Zhaoning took out a silver note worth two thousand taels.
That’s right, her purpose in betting on that pot of flowers was to get money to buy these medicinal herbs!
Lao Xu suddenly stared at her with eyes wide open, his voice trembling a little, "You, you want it?"
"right."
"Two thousand taels." The old official was afraid that she didn't hear the price clearly.
"Isn't this the two thousand taels I gave you?" Fu Zhaoning handed over the banknote.
"Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"
"I know, this is the Cycas revoluta." said Fu Zhaoning.
Lao Xu's eyes lit up and he became excited. "Yes, yes, yes, that's the name! Do you know how to use this as medicine?"
"certainly."
"Then I'll sell it to you!" Lao Xu felt like a ray of hope had finally come his way. He had been in despair just now, thinking that he couldn't sell it. If he couldn't make enough money to go home, he wouldn't be able to support his mother and wife.
They haven't had a full meal or a bite of meat for half a year. Now they are so weak that they have to hold on to the wall to walk. Seeing their condition, Lao Xu feels so guilty that he almost can't live anymore.
He wanted them to have enough food and clothing, to have meat to eat, and to wear warm new cotton-padded jackets during the New Year.
Now he has silver, two thousand taels!
Lao Xu quickly packed the herbs into a bag, tied it up, and handed it to Fu Zhaoning.
"Two thousand taels is very expensive for this herb, but I'm giving it away as a present," Lao Xu lowered his voice, "I'll tell you where these herbs are peeled. There are many good herbs in that place. I'll give you the map."
He was going to give this as a gift, but since the deal didn't go through, he didn't mention it first.
Lao Xu quickly took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to her.
Fu Zhaoning didn't look at it and put it away first. This was a pleasant surprise.
"Thank you very much."
The old official also accepted the banknote, with tears in his eyes.
"Girl, if you need any medicinal herbs in the future, you can come to me. I live in the third small courtyard under the locust tree in Xijingfang. Everyone calls me Lao Xu."
"good."
Fu Zhaoning signaled Zhong Jian to pick up the bag of medicinal herbs.
Shopkeeper Hu Er, who had been paying attention to this place, quickly came over and stopped Fu Zhaoning, "Did you buy these herbs?"
