Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Selling Medicinal Herbs (3)
Duan Yixin just wanted to test Tan Lidan and did not really want to sell her medicinal herbs at a higher price, so she nodded and said, “All right. Then, I will sell all my medicinal herbs to Chang Shou Pharmacy for fifty copper coins per jin.”

After she said that, Tan Lidan looked at the servant waiting on the side and said, “Bring the scales and weigh these medicinal herbs.”

“Yes, Shopkeeper Tan.” The servant responded and went out to get the scale.

Not long after, the servant came back and started weighing the medicinal herbs. Because they are only semi-dry, they are heavier than fully dry herbs. Coupled with the higher price offered by Tan Lidan, Duan Yixin’s income is three times that of others.

After weighing the medicinal herbs, the servant handed the list to Tan Lidan and said, “Shopkeeper Tan, the total of these medicinal herbs is twenty-two jin.”

Tan Lidan nodded, looked at Duan Yixin, and said, “The price of a jin of medicinal herbs is fifty copper coins. So the total is one thousand and one hundred copper coins. Miss Duan, how do you want to collect the payment?”

After thinking for a moment, Duan Yixin said, “Just give me copper coins.”

Tan Lidan smiled and said, “All right.”

Then, he ordered the servant to get the money and chat with Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru. When the servant came back with the money, he already knew that they were from Yunshan Village.

After handing the money to Duan Yixin, Tan Lidan said, “I will wait for Miss Duan to bring more medicinal herbs in the future. The door of our Chang Shou Pharmacy will always be open for Miss Duan and Miss Chi.”

Duan Yixin took the money and said, “I can’t guarantee when I can come again. But if I want to sell medicinal herbs, I will first consider Chang Shou Pharmacy.”

“Then I will wait for Miss Duan to visit us again.” Tan Lidan said with a smile.

After the transaction was completed, Tan Lidan sent the two of them out. He stood at the door of Chang Shou Pharmacy and watched Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru leave.

The servant looked at his calm face and said, “Shopkeeper Tan, you don’t need to send them off personally. This kind of thing, just leave it to us.”

Tan Lidan smiled and said, “Miss Duan is an important guest. If she visits our place again in the future, make sure to treat her politely.”

Although he didn’t know why Tan Lidan issued such an order, the servant still nodded and said, “Yes, Shopkeeper Tan.”

After leaving Chang Shou Pharmacy, Chi Xinru asked, “Xin Xin, do you want to buy something?”

Duan Yixin felt that she needed to buy a lot of things, but she only had one thousand and one hundred copper coins at this moment. Therefore, she needs to buy the most urgent items first.

After thinking for a while, she said, “I have to buy food and condiments first. I really have nothing to eat anymore at home.”

Chi Xinru sighed and thought of the empty rice vat at home. The bandits really rob everything. If her father hadn’t hidden some food, their family would have starved like other families in Yunshan Village.

Thinking that her elder brother would go buy some food after selling the pheasants and rabbits, she said, “Then let’s go to the market first.”

Duan Yixin nodded, and the two of them walked toward the market area. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the market street. Different from the street where Chang Shou Pharmacy and Xi Qian Medicine Hall are located, this market street is more lively, with many street vendors and stalls on the roadside.

Looking at the bustling market, Chi Xinru took Duan Yixin’s hand and dragged her towards the market. Seeing the bright smile on Chi Xinru’s face, Duan Yixin followed her with a slight smile.

While Chi Xinru was busy looking around the market, Duan Yixin was observing people and listening to their conversations.

After wandering on the street for a while, Duan Yixin already knew the market prices of food and daily necessities from the bargaining between consumers and sellers. At current market prices, her money should be enough to buy her enough food for a month.

Thirty minutes later, Chi Xinru was a little tired and asked, “Xin Xin, have you decided what to buy?”

“Yes. I have to buy food and condiments first. I wish I had some money left so I could save enough money to repair my house.” Duan Yixin replied calmly.

After getting her answer, Chi Xinru said, “I know a place that sells grains at a lower price.”

After saying that, she took Duan Yixin’s hand and led her to the store while avoiding the crowd. Soon, Chi Xinru stopped in front of the grocery store.

She looked at the store for a while and shouted, “Is there anyone there?”

She shouted a few times and an old man came out and said, “Don’t shout, don’t shout. Your shouts almost broke my ears.”

When Chi Xinru heard this, not only was she not angry, but she smiled at the old man and said, “Good morning, Grandpa Jin.”

Jin Ronghang looked at Chi Xinru and asked, “What do you want to buy today?”

Noticing that someone was standing next to Chi Xinru, he glanced at Duan Yixin and was stunned when he saw her face. Seeing him staring at Duan Yixin in shock, Chi Xinru waved her hand in front of him and asked, “Grandpa Jin, are you alright?”

Jin Ronghang came to his senses, looked away, and said, “I’m fine. What do you want to buy?”

Chi Xinru turned to look at Duan Yixin and said, “Xin Xin, what kind of grains do you want to buy? Although this store is small, it has a wide variety of goods.”

Duan Yixin looked at the items displayed in the store and asked, “Store owner, can I go in and take a look?”

Jin Ronghang nodded and walked into the store.
