Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 44: Ren Ai Tang sells wild ginseng

Gu Qingzhi grabbed Gu Yan without any warning and hurried into Ren'ai Hall.

As she walked, she kept muttering, "Brother, I suddenly remembered that we need to get some herbs to take home."

In fact, this was not originally in her plan. It was just that she happened to catch a glimpse of the book "Collection of Medicinal Herbs" in the bookstore just now, which gave her an idea and made her want to try making those medicinal foods.

There seems to be a rather simple recipe in the book. Some of the herbs needed can be found in Xizi Mountain, and the rest can be picked up at the clinic.

Not only that, at this moment a recipe for roasted chestnuts that she had gotten from somewhere else suddenly emerged in her mind.

After seeing the sign of Ren Ai Tang, it was natural for me to buy some spices here and try them.

After all, the price that Manager Zheng offered for the chestnuts was too low. My brother just mentioned that the two mountains near my hometown are rich in chestnuts! It was a pity to sell them at such a low price.

Gu Qingzhi recalled the fragrant, hot roasted chestnuts.

This delicious snack is very expensive!

Not long ago, she passed by a street stall and saw someone selling roasted chestnuts.

She stopped to observe for a while out of curiosity, and saw that the chestnuts were divided into two categories according to their size: a larger package cost 20 coins, while the smaller ones only cost 15 coins. However, a closer look revealed that each package weighed less than half a pound.

This price is dozens of times higher than the cost!

At this moment, the recipe for roasted chestnuts kept flashing in her mind.

So, she decided to buy some spices and try to make them herself to see if she could successfully make delicious roasted chestnuts.

The two of them walked into the clinic together. Gu Qingzhi went straight to the cabinet where the medicinal materials were placed and told the young medicine boy the names of the required herbs one by one.

The medicine boy wrote down all the herbs that Gu Qingzhi needed, handed them to her for confirmation, and then went to get the medicine.

Gu Yan didn't feel strange when he saw his sister skillfully telling the medicine boy the names of the medicines. It was normal for his sister to know the names of several medicinal herbs as she could even detoxify snake venom. However, where did the medical book she mentioned reading before come from?

It costs 58 coins to buy medicinal materials.

Gu Qingzhi thought it was very cheap, after all, it was such a big bag, and the quality of the herbs looked very good, upper-middle class.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Do you collect medicinal herbs here?"

The medicine boy looked up at her in surprise and nodded, "I received it."

Gu Qingzhi was now visibly happy, it seemed like she had one more way to make money.

Just as she was waiting boredly for the medicine boy to get the medicine, she heard a voice coming from inside.

The voice was actually very low, but since Gu Qingzhi and his sister were standing close to the inside, they could vaguely hear the voice inside.

"Manager Li, you really didn't find it?" The man's voice was clearly filled with disappointment.

Then Gu Qingzhi heard a familiar voice, "Young Master, we have visited all the herbal medicine shops in the nearby counties, and it is rare to find ginseng that is several decades old, let alone ginseng that is a hundred years old."

This kind of thing is something you can only encounter by chance, and there is nothing he can do about it.

"What should we do? News has come from Shangjing that our ancestor is about to collapse."

If we can’t find a hundred-year-old ginseng, the consequences will be disastrous. “If we can’t find a hundred-year-old ginseng, a few dozen years old will be fine.”

The two people inside were still discussing something in a low voice.

But the two people who heard it outside looked at each other in confusion.

Gu Qingzhi tightly grasped Gu Yan's hand, her face showing obvious nervousness. She lowered her voice and whispered, "Brother, what about us?"

What a coincidence! They happened to dig up a wild ginseng in the mountain today. It is estimated that the ginseng is several decades old.

Gu Yan thought about it carefully and realized that it was Shopkeeper Li who was talking to another person just now.

Shopkeeper Li is a nice guy. He guessed that the young master he mentioned was the young master of Ren'aitang.

There is no use for wild ginseng in their hands at the moment, so it would be better to exchange it for something more beneficial to them.

Moreover, if he is really the young master of Ren'aitang, this wild ginseng can make him owe them a favor.

Favors are sometimes more useful than money.

Gu Yan thought about it carefully and nodded to Gu Qingzhi, agreeing with her idea. He could see that his sister wanted to sell this wild ginseng to Shopkeeper Li.

Gu Qingzhi's idea was much simpler. Ren'aitang was a honest company and the price of this wild ginseng would not be inflated when sold to them, so it could generally be sold at a satisfactory price.

She was very clear about this in her previous life.

Gu Yan said to the medicine boy who had just filled the prescription, "Medicine boy, we have something to ask your shopkeeper. Please inform him for us."

The medicine boy remembered the two men in front of him. They were the ones who sold wild fruits in their clinic a few days ago. The shopkeeper even gave him a persimmon to eat.

"Okay, wait a moment." The medicine boy went into the inner room to call for Manager Li.

When Shopkeeper Li heard that someone was looking for him, he had to come out to meet the guest first.

"It's you!" Shopkeeper Li blurted out as he looked at the two familiar people.

It seems that Manager Li still remembers them, Gu Yan thought, the next things will be much easier.

"Manager Li, we found something on the mountain. Would you like to take it?"

He took out something wrapped in layers from his backpack, placed it on the counter, and then opened it layer by layer.

This is it! Shopkeeper Li was a little confused at first, but as more and more of the things inside were exposed, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but breathe faster.

He walked forward excitedly and carefully looked at the thing on the table. This was wild ginseng!

And it’s a wild ginseng that’s quite old!

Shopkeeper Li's hands were shaking, and he opened and closed his mouth for a long time before he uttered a word, "Gentlemen, are you planning to sell this to our clinic?"

After that, he immediately continued, "As for the price, rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory price."

Gu Yan glanced at Gu Qingzhi and nodded.

Shopkeeper Li was overjoyed and quickly led the two men into the inner room. "Please come in, both of you. Let's talk in detail."

Gu Yan wanted to go forward to collect the wild ginseng, but Shopkeeper Li got there first and said, "Young Master, leave it alone. I'll do it. I'll do it."

As he spoke, he carefully picked up the wild ginseng on the counter and led the two of them into the inner room.

In the inner room.

Lu Baiyin held the teacup worriedly. If he couldn't find the hundred-year-old ginseng, he would have to return home quickly, as his ancestor's condition might be bad.

It was the monks of Hongyuan Temple who were to blame. They insisted that the ancestors' life was in the south. After they followed their instructions, their family sent them, the younger generations, to the south.
