Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Good Deal
Tan Lidan placed five banknotes in front of Duan Yixin and said, “Miss Duan, this is the down payment of five hundred taels of silver. I will pay the remaining silver after receiving the herbal tea.”

Duan Yixin nodded, took the banknotes, and said, “It’s not convenient for me to go out these days. How about Shopkeeper Tan sending someone to get herbal tea in two days?”

Tan Lidan agreed and said, “Then I will follow Miss Duan’s arrangement.”

Seeing Tan Lidan casually handing Duan Yixin five hundred taels of silver, Hong Qiaole’s eyes flickered. She knew that Duan Yixin’s products must be expensive from their calm and casual behavior when handed over the money.

If even the stingy Tan Lidan were willing to give five hundred taels of silver as a down payment, then he would have to pay Duan Yixin at least three to four times more when he received the herbal teas. With this thought in mind, Hong Qiaole was worried about the price of herbal tea.

Unlike Changshou Pharmacy, most of the businesses in Tian Xiang Pavilion and Qian Mei Pavilion come from small transactions. If she needs to spend a lot of money to buy herbal tea from Duan Yixin, then there are only two options she can make.

Either price the herbal tea as a luxury product and sell it at a high price, or reduce the profit range. After thinking about it, Hong Qiaole decided to choose the first one. It is better to sell herbal tea as a luxury product. Besides, selling it at a low price will damage the reputation of her Tian Xiang Pavilion and Qian Mei Pavilion.

After making the decision, Hong Qiaole took out two banknotes from her sleeve pocket, placed them in front of Duan Yixin, and said, “Miss Duan, this is the down payment for my order. I don’t know how much herbal tea is needed for my stores, so I can only give you two hundred taels of silver as a down payment.”

Duan Yixin took the banknotes, put them away, and said, “Then I will wait for Miss Hong to send me the list.”

Although she failed to buy cold ointments from Duan Yixin, Hong Qiaole still received herbal teas. With this deal, her trip to Yunshan Village can be said to be fruitful.

Hong Qiaole was in a good mood after completing a good deal and said, “Then I will go back and prepare the list first. Miss Duan, thank you for the tea. I will take my leave first.”

Seeing her standing up, Duan Yixin also stood up and sent her out. After Hong Qiaole got on her horse carriage, she raised the window curtain and said, “Miss Duan, I will visit you again in a few days.”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “Safe travel, Miss Hong.”

After Hong Qiaole lowered the curtain, Fen Lan’s voice came from inside the carriage, “Let’s go.”

“Yes.” The coachman replied, flicked the reins, and then drove the carriage away.

After the horse carriage disappeared from her sight, Duan Yixin turned around to look at Tan Lidan and said, “Shopkeeper Tan, please wait a moment while I go get the cold ointment.”

Tan Lidan nodded and said, “Please take your time, Miss Duan.”

Leaving Tan Lidan waiting outside, Duan Yixin went into her bedroom to get the four jars of cold ointment. When Tan Lidan saw her coming out with the jars, he motioned to the coachman to take the jars from her.

“Miss Duan, let me help you move them.” The coachman said politely.

Duan Yixin thanked him and handed over the cold ointment. When the coachman carried the cold ointment onto the carriage, Duan Yixin sat opposite Tan Lidan.

After she sat down, Tan Lidan took out two banknotes, one hundred taels of silver, and four banknotes, ten taels of silver, and said, “Miss Duan, this is the money for cold ointment. Please count it.”

Duan Yixin didn’t count the money and said, “I believe in Shopkeeper Tan.”

Hearing her words, Tan Lidan stood up with a smile, “Miss Duan, it’s time for me to go back. I will send someone to get the herbal tea and settle the account in two days.”

Duan Yixin nodded, then stood up to send him out and said, “Shopkeeper Tan, please walk slowly.”

After Tan Lidan’s horse carriage left, Duan Yixin took the money from the wooden table and put it into the warehouse. When she arrived in the living room and saw the cold breakfast, she took the food back to the kitchen to heat it.

After finishing her late breakfast and washing the dishes, Duan Yixin went to the woodshed to check the Chinese cabbage and strawberries. Seeing that the strawberries were already flowering, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thoughts.

‘The growth rate of these plants was too fast compared to the plants in my original world. I did some tests on the water, seeds, and soil, but everything looked normal. Could it be that the difference is in the air?’

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Chi Xinru’s voice coming from outside.

“Xin Xin, are you at home?” Chi Xinru called her while looking into the house.

Duan Yixin came back from her thoughts and walked to the front yard. When she saw Chi Xinru, she smiled and said, “Xinru, you are here. Are you here to get more cold ointment?”

Chi Xinru shook her head and said, “Xin Xin, I’m here to get the seeds you want to plant. The workers plowed the land yesterday and will sow them today.”

Duan Yixin opened the gate for her and said, “Come in, I will go get the seeds first.”

“All right.”

When Chi Xinru walked in, Duan Yixin went to the backyard. Although she had put the corn seeds in the warehouse, she needed to leave Chi Xinru’s sight to remove them. To avoid Chi Xinru’s gaze, she went to the woodshed.
