Xiao Xiao heard Uncle Lin tell her not to worry about anything else.
He'll bring anything he can get his hands on; he has channels to sell it.
Although she didn't ask, she knew it in her heart.
This must be the black market that Grandpa was talking about.
As the two were talking, the old apothecary rushed over in a flurry.
Look at his gait, it's almost like that of a young man.
He doesn't look like an old man at all.
The old doctor, with a smile on his face, started asking questions even before he got close.
"Little girl, I heard you have something good to sell me."
"Come, come, let this old man take a look."
His apprentice just told me that there are ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms.
He needs to take a good look; this stuff is really scarce.
Xiao Xiao was also very happy to see him.
This old man is old in age but young at heart.
The kind of mindset that's always positive.
They quickly took out the ginseng and lingzhi.
"Take a look, old man, is she still pleasing to your eye?"
The old herbalist nodded as he held the ginseng: "This ginseng is a hundred years old, very good."
As he spoke, he picked up several purple Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms of varying sizes.
Then I took a closer sniff and observed the color.
After a long pause, he said, "These few Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are also quite good; they are rare purple Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms."
How much do you want to sell these for?
Little one has no idea how much it can sell for.
He just smiled and said, "Old Yao, just give me whatever you think is appropriate."
The old doctor laughed heartily: "You're quite clever, girl."
He looked around again and said, "You wait here."
He picked up the ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms and ran off like the wind.
Xiao Xiao hadn't come to her senses yet. What was Yao Lao doing?
Uncle Lin laughed and said, "This old man is crazy all day long, don't take it to heart."
He'll bring you the money in a little while.
She nodded slightly, then asked, as if remembering something:
"Uncle Lin, you need to get receipts for everything you buy from now on."
Could you also help me prepare some receipts?
I don't know where to get it.
Uncle Lin smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I've prepared everything for you."
He then led them to a closed room.
"These things are all reserved for you."
As I spoke, I pulled out a handful of receipts from a pocket.
"Here are all kinds of receipts. Come back to me when you run out, and I'll try to help you get them."
Xiao Xiao took a large stack of receipts, which dazzled her.
It left her speechless.
To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen such complete receipts; it was incredibly rare.
Uncle Lin reminded him, "Make sure you put it away carefully, don't let it fall."
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Lin, it won't fall."
The old doctor came running quickly, carrying a box in his arms.
Seeing that no one was inside, he turned around and looked around, then shouted:
"Hey Lin, where have you guys been?"
Uncle Lin twitched his lips: "Master Yao, I'm already in my forties, how can you still call me a kid?"
The old doctor raised an eyebrow: "So what? When I first met you, you were just a teenager."
Decades have passed, do you still expect me to change my tune?
"I'm used to calling them that, I can't change it, I just can't change it."
Finally, he waved to Xiaoxiao and said, "Little girl, come here, come here quickly."
As she spoke, she stuffed the box in her hand into Xiaoxiao's hand.
Xiao Xiao asked suspiciously, "Master Yao, what's in here?"
She felt that the box looked very valuable.
The old doctor chuckled and said, "Why don't you open it and see for yourself?"
Xiao Xiao was startled when she opened the box.
Inside, besides five bundles of money, there were also two gold bars.
She looked at the old apothecary with a puzzled expression: "Old apothecary, what do you mean by this?"
The old doctor stroked his gray beard and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Your ginseng and lingzhi are both top-grade, so I plan to give you ten thousand yuan."
But I don't have enough cash on hand, this is all I have.
The rest can be paid with these two gold bars, is that alright?
If that doesn't work, Lin, could you lend me some cash?
I brought it for the little girl.
Xiao Xiao then came to her senses and quickly shook her head.
"No need, no need, this is fine too."
But are you sure?
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
The old doctor kept waving his hands: "Not much, not much. I even think it's too little."
But I don't have any extra money at home to give you.
"I'll make up for it next time you bring something nice."
She blinked her eyes slightly: "No need to add more, no need to add more, this is enough, enough."
She was genuinely frightened.
Those things actually sold for so much money.
Yuan Shitou stayed by his side, pretending to be mute.
Ever since Xiaoxiao forbade him to speak, he hasn't uttered a single word.
At this point, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Her eyes kept glancing at the box, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
The old doctor looked displeased: "You brat, just say what you want to say."
What's with all this stammering?
Yuan Shitou then looked at Xiaoxiao.
She nodded slightly: "Say whatever you want to say."
Yuan Shitou smacked his lips: "Didn't you tell me to pretend to be mute?"
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him: "You idiot, I told you to pretend to be mute in front of others and not to speak."
"I didn't ask you to pretend to be mute in front of Uncle Lin and Elder Yao."
Their conversation amused both the old doctor and Uncle Lin.
"This stone is really interesting."
It truly lives up to its name, "Stone," for it simply doesn't know how to turn.
The old doctor glanced at him and said with a smile.
Uncle Lin nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's right for Shi Tou to listen to his wife."
Xiaoxiao is a clever girl; it's always good to listen to her.
Yuan Shitou nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then the old doctor asked you, "What were you trying to say just now?"
Yuan Shitou pointed to the contents of the box: "I want to say that you've given too much, Elder Yao."
We can't sell it to you at a high price.
The old doctor waved his hand: "Not much, not much. I already said it wasn't much at all."
He realized that the young couple were not greedy at all.
He either shook his head or waved his hand during this trip.
It looks like it's about to wag its head like a duck.
Yuan Shitou wanted to say something more.
Uncle Lin interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry, you two. Old Yao isn't stupid. He knows exactly how much to give."
Just remember to think of him whenever you have something good.
As he spoke, he gave Xiaoxiao a wink.
Xiao Xiao slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, look at my memory."
He quickly took a package out of the basket.
"Master Yao, this is for you."
I was about to give it to you, but you ran away.
The old man opened the package suspiciously and asked:
"What's inside? It feels hard."
Seeing the dozen or so bones inside, something suddenly came to mind.
He picked up a tiger bone and said, "This is a tiger bone."
Then he looked at the few bones on the side and asked, "Are these bear bones?"
He looked at the two of them with some uncertainty.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Yes, we hunted a tiger and a bear this time."
I was thinking of taking this bone and making you guys soak it in alcohol.
Here's a packet of dried meat, it's all for you.
As he spoke, he took out another package.
The old doctor's smile deepened, adding several more wrinkles to his face.
"Good, good, you two kids are filial."
How can this old man possibly thank you all?
"By the way, what about tiger gall and bear gall?"
