Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Buying Medicinal Materials (2)
Looking at Duan Yixin’s confused look, Tan Hangyu clasped his hands and said, “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tan Hangyu, and I am the shopkeeper of the Chang Shou Pharmacy in Hua Shan Town.”

Hearing this, Chi Xinru’s eyes widened, and she asked, “Your surname is Tan. Are you a relative of Shopkeeper Tan from Chun Shan Town?”

Tan Hangyu nodded and said, “Tan Lidan is my elder brother.”

Hearing this, Chi Xinru said, “No wonder you look so similar to him. It turns out you are shopkeeper Tan’s younger brother.”

After introducing himself, Tan Hangyu asked politely, “May I know why are you here today, Young Lady?”

After asking, Tan Hangyu observed Duan Yixin calmly. Since his Master was very attentive to her and even served her with care, this young lady would most likely be their future Mistress. He should get to know her better to avoid making any mistakes in the future.

Duan Yixin took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and said, “I need a large amount of the medicinal materials listed here.”

A servant took the paper from her hand and handed it to Tan Hangyu. After reading the list of medicinal materials, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Some of the medicinal materials on the list are very rare, and we don’t have many in our stock. May I know how many you need, Young Lady?”

Duan Yixin made a rough calculation based on the patients she examined today and said, “I need at least one hundred jins of medicinal materials for the first list, fifty jins of medicinal materials for the second list, and ten jins of medicinal materials for the third list.”

Hearing this, Tan Hangyu silently rubbed the jade ring on his thumb. Just as he was thinking about it, Duan Yixin picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After a long silence, Tan Hangyu placed the list on the table next to his chair and said, “We still have some medicinal materials on the list, but we only have half the quantity of rare medicinal materials. If Young Lady can wait a moment, we may be able to find them for you.”

Duan Yixin actually has all the medicinal materials she needs in her warehouse. But before she took them out, she needed to do something to cover them up.

Moreover, she prefers to use medicinal materials from this world rather than those in the warehouse because she does not know whether their efficacy is different from that of the original medicinal materials in this world.

After thinking about it, Duan Yixin asked, “How much does everything cost?”

Hearing Duan Yixin ask this, Tan Hangyu glanced at Xuan Ruiquan. When his eyes met Xuan Ruiquan’s eyes, Tan Hangyu knew what he should do.

He smiled and said, “Since the Young Lady knows my elder brother, I will give you a preferential price. Some of the medicinal materials on the list are very rare, so the prices are also quite high. How about five hundred taels of silver for everything on the list?”

As soon as these words came out, Chi Xinru gasped in surprise, and Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly at Tan Hangyu. Seeing their reactions, Tan Hangyu glanced at Xuan Ruiquan again to ask for his opinion.

Seeing Xuan Ruiquan nod at him, Tan Hangyu sighed inwardly and thought, ‘It seems that I have to squeeze more money from Li Junwang’s treasury.’

After thinking for a few seconds, he said, “Three hundred taels of silver. This is the lowest price we can offer to you.”

Looking at his smiling face, Duan Yixin calmly put down her teacup and said, “Then please send the medicinal materials to the inn in the north of the town.”

Tan Hangyu smiled and said, “All right. We will collect the medicinal materials first and deliver them to the inn tomorrow morning.”

After they closed the deal, Duan Yixin reached into her sleeve pocket and took out three banknotes from the warehouse.

She put the banknotes on the table between her and Xuan Ruiquan’s chairs and said, “This is three hundred taels of silver. I will be waiting for shopkeeper Tan to deliver the medicinal materials tomorrow.”

Seeing that she and the others had stood up, Tan Hangyu also stood up. He sent them to the back door and said, “Everyone, please go slowly.”

After Duan Yixin and others left, Tan Hangyu returned to the study, ready to squeeze some more money from Li Junwang’s treasury. While Tan Hangyu was busy preparing the order, Duan Yixin and others returned to the inn.

On the way back, Chi Xinru lowered her voice and asked, “Xin Xin, don’t you think this shopkeeper Tan is suspicious?”

Duan Yixin looked at her and asked, “Why do you think so?”

Chi Xinru frowned and replied, “I saw the list of medicinal materials you want, and I know that the normal price is at least one thousand taels of silver. Given the current scarcity of medicinal materials, their price tag was only three hundred taels of silver, which was very shocking.”

Speaking of this, Duan Yixin glanced at Xuan Ruiquan and saw his calm face. She smiled and said in a good mood, “Since Shopkeeper Tan is willing to sell those medicinal materials to us at a low price, let’s just accept his kindness.”

After saying that, she looked at Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “General Xuan, am I right?”

When she asked this, Xuan Ruiquan turned to look at her and smiled, “Yes. Xin’er is right.”

Seeing the two people smiling at each other, Chi Xinru suddenly felt the same bloated feeling she had when she saw her father flirting with her mother. She slowed down her pace and walked to her elder brother’s side.

When they arrived at the inn, Duan Yixin found that the crowd was gone. Looking at the empty inn, she said, “Since shopkeeper Tan will only deliver the medicinal materials tomorrow, I can’t make the medicine now. We should have a good rest today.”
