<span><b></b>
Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, “Youngdy, you have great ambitions! That’s good!”
If shopkeeper Lin knew that Lin Yun wanted to be the world’s overlord, he would probablyugh at her for having ambitions and then scold her for her wishful thinking.
Then, shopkeeper Lin immediately returned to the main topic and said seriously, “Miss, this ginseng of yours is three hundred years old. If you sell it in the capital, it will be worth at least eight hundred to one thousand taels of silver. But, to tell you the truth…”
As ginseng was a great medicine, it was much more expensive than the tiger.
Shopkeeper Lin said honestly, “Although my Lin’s medicine shop is thergest medicine shop in Ning An Town, the town is still rtively small. The profits from the daily sales of my medicine shop every day can only barely sustain our daily expenses. Therefore, it’s a little difficult for me to take out 800 or 1000 taels to buy this ginseng of yours.”
After all, Ning An Town was a poor and small ce. No matter how good the business was, there was a limit. This was especially true for luxury items like expensive medicines. In this poor town, not many people could afford it.
For example, the tiger that he had bought from Lin Yun could be sold to a single family in the capital easily. However, not many people could afford a whole tiger in Ning An Town. He needed to sell the tiger parts bit by bit.
He was luckyst time. A businessman from another city had bought most of the tiger. Shopkeeper Lin earned some from the sale. However, he didn’t have the money to buy Lin Yun’s ginseng.
Lin Yun also understood what shopkeeper Lin meant. She asked, “then, shopkeeper Lin, how much can you offer?”
Lin Yun wanted to sell the ginseng immediately. ...
Shopkeeper Lin furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. Then, he stretched out his hand and said, “five hundred taels!” This was the price he could offer.
However, 500 taels and 1000 taels were twopletely different numbers.
After hearing this, Lin Yun lowered her eyes and held her chin, seemingly also in deep thought.
Although the difference between five hundred taels and one thousand taels was too great, Lin Yun knew that this was the most reasonable and highest price that shopkeeper Lin could offer within his ability.
When shopkeeper Lin saw Lin Yun’s expression, his heart jumped into his throat. He thought if he should raise the price a little more. After all, the price difference was too great.
However, what he didn’t expect was that Lin Yun actually nodded in agreement.
Lin Yun nodded and said, “alright, shopkeeper Lin. 500 taels it is then. But can you promise me one thing?”
Shopkeeper Lin furrowed his brows. He was a little confused. He asked, “what is it?”
Lin Yun said seriously, “it’s like this, shopkeeper Lin. I’m now learning medicine from a doctor in the vige. In the future, I will definitely need arge number of medicinal herbs. I want to cooperate with you!”
Shopkeeper Lin was extremely surprised, but then he became angry. He pointed at Lin Yun and scolded, “So, were you just ying a trick on me? I actually thought you didn’t recognize ginseng!” People who studied medicine would have to learn how to identify medicinal herbs.
Without a doubt, Lin Yun was testing him, and this angered him.
Lin Yun immediately consoled him, “shopkeeper Lin, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I had to look for a loyal partner.” So the test was necessary.
When shopkeeper Lin heard this, he was even more furious.
He pointed at Lin Yun and said, “How dare you doubt my character? Why don’t you ask everyone in Ning An town if Lin Desan has scammed anyone?” He was angry because he was toyed with by a child.
Lin Yun could understand his anger, but she would still do the same thing again. She had to test people before she could trust them.
Since she was studying medicine, she nned to get involved in the field of medicine in the future. Besides, she had other purposes for cooperating with a medicine shop.
However, before that, she had to choose an honest and responsible partner who would not lie to the public.
Lin Yun said to shopkeeper Lin in a serious tone, “shopkeeper Lin, can we discuss this matter in the inner room?”
