System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

The old shopkeeper slammed the table and said, "5000 taels, no bargaining, madam, what do you think..."

"make a deal."

Can Lin Miao refuse?

She wanted to stop selling it, but he offered too much.

Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper hurriedly took the ginseng carefully and put it in a special box for storing ginseng.

The old shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said to the chief shopkeeper, "Go and prepare the banknotes."

Lin Miao said: "I want 300 taels of gold, and the remaining 2800 taels in silver notes."

The chief shopkeeper said: "Madam, please be patient. I have to raise so much gold and silver."

After that, he left in a hurry.

Lin Miaogan sat there, watching the old shopkeeper sipping his tea.

She was thirsty, but didn't dare drink.

Half an hour has passed and he still hasn't come back.

Lin Miao felt a little uneasy. She stared at her ginseng, estimating the possibility of snatching it back and escaping.

The old shopkeeper saw her expression and knew what the woman was worried about.

He only gave in slightly, and seeing that Lin Miao insisted on not drinking tea, he did not force her.

After much urging, the manager finally returned with gold and silver bills.

Lin Miao saw that it was still a banknote from Datong Bank. She took out the original banknote in her hand and compared it carefully. The information and interlineation seemed to be fine.

They counted it and it was 2800 taels. They checked the gold bars again and found that they all had a special "pure gold" stamp. The original owner had no memory of this, but she had checked and found that ancient gold bars also had "steel stamps" and the general content was 90-99.

She broke the gold bars one by one with force and looked inside. After feeling nothing wrong and finding no core, she wrapped up the 300 taels of gold and silver notes with confidence, put them in the small basket in her hand, and put them into the space.

The space was only 1 cubic meter, so she didn't dare to put anything there randomly. She only had a few small items for emergencies.

The chief and old shopkeepers, seeing her strength, were amazed in their hearts, thinking that she could even break gold, so she deserved to be rich and was truly extraordinary.

The old shopkeeper saw that she was capable and wanted to make friends with her, so he said, "Madam, the normal exchange rate for silver and gold is 10 taels for one tael. If you go to the shop to exchange, it will be 100 taels minus 2 taels. We will treat you as a friend. If you have any rare things, send them here. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. It's not just medicinal herbs, but any rare things are fine. Our boss has a wide network of contacts and will not let you down."

Lin Miao agreed without comment, said she would come again when she had the chance, and left the pharmacy.

Lin Miao walked while looking behind to see if anyone was following her.

After walking for a while, Lin Miao found two men following her stealthily. She didn't know whether they were sent by the pharmacy or followed her on the street.

Lin Miao walked towards an alley.

The two looked around, searching: "Where is that woman?"

Feeling a pain behind their necks, the two men lost consciousness and fell to the ground one by one.

Lin Miao looked at the two of them, and punched each of them hard.

She hurried away and turned into a clothing store, bought two sets of clothes, changed her outfit, put on makeup, and re-combed her hair.

She placed the thin silver hairpin and a pearl flower she had bought in the county town last time in a prominent place, put the old clothes in the basket, and then left the clothing shop.

After she left, the following conversation took place in the pharmacy.

The head shopkeeper asked the old shopkeeper in confusion: "Uncle, what's the meaning of this ginseng at the back? I still don't understand it when I look at it."

The old shopkeeper drank his tea happily and said, "Boy, do you think I gave you too much and it's hard to say?"

The head shopkeeper chuckled, "Uncle, with my knowledge, how dare I question you? Didn't I wait until that woman left before asking you for advice?"

The old shopkeeper showed a smug expression: "It's not your fault that you don't have good eyesight, it's just that you haven't experienced it."

The head shopkeeper hastily refilled the old shopkeeper's tea and listened to him continue: "This ginseng is indeed only about 150 years old, and its weight is not much heavier than the one that is more than 50 years old. This ginseng does not grow continuously according to the years, but look at this ginseng. Its appearance is no different from that of a human. Look at its luster, which is as clear as jade. The ginseng fragrance is sweet and refreshing. Although ginseng that is more than 100 years old is generally priced at 2000-3000 taels, this one is different. This is a ginseng that has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. When I was young, I had the honor of seeing such a ginseng with my master once. As long as a person is alive, it can keep you alive. The Imperial Hospital also used this ginseng to save the life of a prince. Later, the person who presented the ginseng was also promoted to a second-rank official, and is the current Minister of Rites..."

"Later, there were not many left. Fearing that the ginseng would lose its medicinal effect if stored for too long, an alchemist made the ginseng into a life-saving pill. Each pill was sealed with a wax pill. This is the mysterious preservation pill of our Dayu Dynasty. You can't get one even if you have thousands of gold. If the emperor gives one to you, it will be regarded as an heirloom by anyone. Do you think it is worth 5000 taels?"

The old shopkeeper spoke with pride in his voice.

The chief shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "So, we picked it up?"

The old shopkeeper snorted coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, this ginseng is not something that can be bought with a few thousand taels of silver. It's worth a ton of gold. Don't think I took advantage of that woman. With her status, if she hadn't met a kind-hearted person like us, she wouldn't even be able to survive if she hadn't brought gold to the market."

"This is not just a matter of money, it could be a huge fortune. Hurry up and arrange the carriage. I'm going to the capital to hand it over to the master in person. I don't think you will stay here for long."

The chief shopkeeper's face was filled with joy, it seemed that he would be able to go to the capital soon.

Lin Miao...luckily I didn’t hear it.

She now has 300 taels of gold in her hand. In ancient times, the ratio of gold to silver was 10. It is not cost-effective to spend gold compared to modern times, so she does not intend to spend it. She has 2800+400 taels of silver notes, less than 200 taels of silver, and some copper coins.

Lin Miao went to several places and didn't find anyone following her, so she bought some things that were rare in the county town and prepared some food.

At noon, I found a large restaurant, asked for a private room, and had a peaceful meal.

She changed her clothes again and again and withdrew 3200 taels of silver from several branches of Datong Money House.

This Datong Money House is a bit like a modern bank, with branches in different places, and there are four branches in the capital.

If they were not taken separately, the weight and volume would be too noticeable. In order to avoid trouble, Lin Miao would rather go to a few more places. Anyway, she had good physical strength, so she just treated it as shopping.

After taking out the silver and putting it all into the space, Lin Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After finally coming to the provincial capital, she was tired from shopping.

I found a larger restaurant, sat in a corner of the lobby, ordered three dishes and a soup, and started to enjoy the food while listening to people gossiping.

There were diners at each table and all kinds of social interactions. There were mostly men in the restaurant, but there were also women.

Although Lin Miao's meal here was a bit conspicuous, it was not excessive. After all, it was a big city and not many people cared about other people's affairs.

This life is quite interesting.

At this time, four young men sat down at a table not far from her.

It was obvious that these people were full of youthful vigor. They were drinking and discussing something angrily.

The prefect's brother-in-law has robbed people's property again!
