A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Chapter 84: Shopkeeper Li received a truckload of medicinal materials from Lin Yiran

Lin Yiran turned her head and looked at the visitor. Was this dynasty rich in handsome men? She looked at the visitor intently. This handsome man in a green gown was about 1.9 meters tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face, and a half-tied black hair on top of his head, which was fixed with a jade hairpin.

Although she was dressed simply, her whole demeanor was extraordinary. While Lin Yiran was observing the boy, the boy was also looking at her calmly.

As soon as he arrived, he felt a burning gaze falling on him. He followed the gaze and saw a beautiful girl staring at him without blinking with her sparkling fox eyes. When she saw him looking at her, she greeted him gracefully.

He knew very well how lethal his face was to the opposite sex.

Every time he went out on the street, many girls followed him. Some pretended to meet him by chance, and some pretended to sprain their feet and fall on him.

There were those who banged their heads against the wall just to stare at him, and some even sold themselves to bury their fathers in order to attract his attention as he passed by.

The various tricks she used made him feel very annoyed. The girl looked at him with only amazement and admiration, without the naked desire that other girls showed when they looked at him.

He was still able to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor towards such a little girl and responded with a polite smile.

He turned to look at the little sister who was still stuffing food into her mouth, and said with a doting smile: "Look at what you look like, your face is all messy, how did your brother teach you normally?"

"I'm sorry, second brother. This is not my fault. You can only blame my beautiful sister for making delicious fruits." The little guy said as he stuffed the half-eaten rock sugar orange in his hand into his mouth, "Second brother, try it. It's delicious."

The young man in blue shirt ate the fruit his sister stuffed into his mouth somewhat helplessly. As he bit his teeth, a sour, sweet and refreshing juice filled his entire mouth.

"Well, it tastes really good. Xiaoyun may not have mastered other skills, but he is really good at eating."

He thought that his grandmother's birthday would be in two days, and he was worried that there would be no suitable fruit plate to serve on the banquet. The grapes and lychees that he had his subordinates send back from Liaocheng at full speed were not very fresh.

It doesn't look appetizing at all. It's really nice to give him a pillow when he's sleepy.

The moment Shopkeeper Li saw the young master coming, he quickly swallowed the blueberries in his mouth and stood aside respectfully.

"Old Li, buy all the fruits in the cart, and wipe the fruit stains on your beard." The young man in blue shirt couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the dirty look of Shopkeeper Li. Alas, he is the same character as his little sister.

"Ah? Oh," Shopkeeper Li finally realized what his master had said and took out a handkerchief to wipe his beard awkwardly.

There are estimated to be several hundred kilograms of fruit on this truck. Considering their prices, how much would it cost if we bought them all?

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but remind him: "Master, these fruits are not cheap! Are you sure you want to buy them all?"

Pei Qijun thought, it's just fruit, how expensive could it be? The grapes and lychees he transported back from such a faraway place like Liaocheng at full speed, including the expenses of staying in hotels and eating along the way, only cost less than 100 wen per catty, which was already a sky-high price.

He glanced at the carriage and his attention was instantly drawn to it. What were those things on the carriage?

He walked to the front of the carriage. The bottom of the carriage was covered with a thick layer of herbs. There were many kinds of these herbs, many of which were particularly rare species. There were not only Cordyceps sinensis and Dendrobium, but even two ginsengs that were at least a hundred years old.

Such precious herbs were placed so casually in the carriage that Pei Qijun even felt sorry for them.

The brother and sister were not afraid of being robbed, they were really carefree. Pei Qijun had no idea that Cordyceps sinensis and ginseng, which were extremely precious herbs in his eyes, were only as valuable as white radishes to Lin Yiran.

He glanced at the grain bags and fruits piled up next to the herbs. In front of these grain bags, there was a row of small cloth bags filled with various grains, and the mouths of the bags were all open.

There was crystal clear rice with full grains, snow-white flour, yellow millet with evenly distributed grains, black beans, soybeans, broad beans, corn and other relatively coarse grains. There were even several grain varieties that he didn't recognize.

The quality of these grains is top-notch. Look at those brightly colored heart-shaped red fruits, which are large and covered with blunt thorns and emit a strange smell.

He traveled all over the country to collect medicinal herbs, and had seen and eaten all kinds of things, but everything before him completely overturned all his knowledge.

He was like a young man who had never seen the world. He stared at it without blinking for a long time, waiting for his excitement to slowly calm down.

Then he turned to look at Lin Yiran and Lin Sange with doubt, "May I ask, where do all these fruits, food, and medicinal herbs come from?"

Third Brother Lin quickly replied with a smile, "We picked the herbs in the mountains, grew some of the food ourselves, and bought some from other places wholesale, and the fruits were traded with merchants from other countries."

After saying this, Third Brother Lin glanced at Lin Yiran and raised his eyebrows at her. His intention to seek praise was too obvious.

Lin Yiran held his forehead helplessly, choking with emotion.

Pei Qijun was quite surprised when he heard this. These brother and sister were really capable. He had heard that those foreign businessmen were very arrogant and difficult to deal with.

Pei Qijun thought of what Shopkeeper Li said, and combined it with what Third Brother Lin had just said, he realized that if he wanted to buy these fruits, he would have to spend a lot of money.

Taking advantage of his grandmother's birthday, he invited two big clients from Beijing. They came from far away to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, which was a great honor for him, so he couldn't treat them badly.

They have all seen the world and have tasted all kinds of good things, so it is not easy for them to stand out.

Thinking of this, he said to Brother Lin San: "I'd like to trouble you to introduce the names and prices of these fruits to me. If they are suitable, I would like to buy them all."

When Third Brother Lin heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He silently calculated in his mind how much money his family could earn if he sold all of them.

Although he was extremely excited in his heart, he looked calm on the surface.

He walked to the front of the carriage with steady steps, pointing at the fruits and introducing them one by one.

“This bright red heart-shaped fruit is a strawberry, this ugly creature covered in thorns is a durian, and this cute dark blue thing covered in frost is a blueberry.

This cylindrical orange-yellow thing with hard nodules on its skin is a pineapple, and this round orange-red thing is a rock sugar orange. This small brown thing covered with fuzz is a kiwi fruit.

Brother Lin paused and said, "Grapes, apples, pears, I don't need to introduce these, right?"

Pei Qijun nodded, "No, just quote the price."

When he heard the offer from Third Brother Lin, he took a breath. Although he had expected it would not be cheap, it was still a bit outrageously expensive.

Especially the one that gave off a strange smell was actually the most expensive one here. Even the most common apples and pears cost 80 cents per pound. He immediately lost his composure.

If he bought all of them, it would cost at least 800 taels, which was far beyond his budget. Although he could afford it, he didn't want to be cheated. He didn't believe that these fruits were worth so much money.

There is no way these brother and sister can cheat him out of his money, not even with a window.

Let's think of other ways. He picked up his little sister and prepared to leave. "Brother, please buy me some durian. It's so delicious. I haven't had enough."

Pei Qijun, who was about to back out, suddenly felt a little embarrassed when his younger sister made such a fuss. After all, his younger sister had just eaten a lot of other people's fruits, and it would be a bit unreasonable not to buy any.

He took two relatively large durians from the car and said to Brother Lin San: "Brother, help me weigh them."

"Okay," Third Brother Lin knew that the young master must have been discouraged by the price he offered, and although he felt a little disappointed,

But he still pulled himself together and found a scale from the car, "15 jin is one liang, so I'll give you 15 jin, a total of 3 liang, 450 wen." Brother Lin San found a small sack and put the two durians in it.

Pei Qijun winked at Shopkeeper Li, then carried little Shuyun back to the backyard of Xiancaotang.

Shopkeeper Li followed in with a durian in his hand, counted out 3 taels and 450 coins from the drawer of the counter, and handed them to Third Brother Lin.

Then he looked at Brother Lin San with a smile, "We have collected your herbs from Xiancaotang."

He just saw the look his young master gave him. The tacit understanding they had formed over the years was not to be underestimated.

He had already taken a fancy to the herbs in the car, and even if the young master didn't give him a hint, he would have bought them all. Based on his many years of experience, the medicinal properties of these herbs were all top-notch. Especially the two ginsengs, he was determined to get them.

"Okay." Brother Lin's voice was full of joy.

Shopkeeper Li called two young men over, and they packed all the herbs into sacks with Lin Yiran and his sister. As for the two ginseng roots, Shopkeeper Li carefully packed them in a mahogany box.

While pretending to be distressed, he kept muttering: "How could you treat these two old ginsengs so casually? It's really a waste of natural resources! Fortunately, the roots are intact and not damaged, otherwise it would be a big loss."

Third Brother Lin was very embarrassed by what Shopkeeper Li said, and smiled awkwardly, "We are all rough people, we only know a few herbs, and we don't know how to preserve precious herbs like ginseng. We will definitely learn a lot of medical knowledge from you."

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Shopkeeper Li stopped muttering.

The next step is to classify, weigh and calculate the price. There are 50 jins of angelica, 29 jins of Millettia reticulata, 83 jins of Gardenia jasminoides, 36 jins of Atractylodes macrocephala, 56 jins of Cordyceps sinensis, 43 jins and 62 liangs of Dendrobium officinale, and 3 jins and liangs of As

One waiter was responsible for weighing and reporting the name of the medicine, while the other waiter was constantly calculating the price on an abacus.
