Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 10 Tongxintang sells medicinal herbs
A quarter of an hour later, Li Mengyue stood in front of the door of Huichun Hall and walked into Huichun Hall carrying a backpack.
After standing there for a long time and no one paid any attention to her, Li Mengyue had no choice but to stop a waiter.
Before Li Mengyue could say anything, the shop assistant said impatiently: "What are you doing? If you want to see a doctor, go and queue up. It's no use looking for me. Doctor Wang is the most annoying person who cuts in line."
"Hello, I want to ask if the pharmacy accepts medicinal materials. I have..."
Before Li Mengyue could finish, the waiter said disdainfully: "Go away, we have a fixed supply channel at Huichuntang, and we don't accept loose herbs at all. Besides, do you know herbs? You are not bringing wild grass here!"
The guy said contemptuous words, but his hands were not idle. He reached out to take Li Mengyue's backpack.
Li Mengyue just leaned sideways to prevent the waiter from touching the backpack, but the backpack tilted a little, revealing the top-quality Panax notoginseng inside.
Although the waiter's personal qualities were not good, he knew all kinds of medicinal herbs. He recognized the Panax notoginseng in Li Mengyue's basket at a glance. It happened that the store was short of this medicinal herb.
So the waiter's arrogant attitude suddenly became very polite, and he smiled and said, "Girl, what medicinal herbs do you want to sell?"
Li Mengyue didn't know why the other party changed his attitude, but the gleam in the guy's eyes did not escape her eyes.
Faced with the waiter's kind questions, Li Mengyue just looked at him quietly without saying anything.
"Let me make it clear first. We don't accept ordinary herbs in our store. Why am I telling you all this? Even if I tell you, you won't know what ordinary herbs are. But I can make the decision today and accept the ones in your backpack."
Li Mengyue wanted to see what the other party was going to do, so she followed the man's force and put the backpack on the ground.
The guy immediately bent down and pulled away the weeds that were used to cover the backpack. He saw that most of the backpack was filled with Panax notoginseng, and the Panax notoginseng was very big, which was obviously a top-grade medicinal material.
The clerk suppressed his excitement and said seriously, "We will take the herbs in your basket for five cents of silver."
After saying that, he took out five cents of silver from his bosom and handed it to Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue realized that she was being treated like a fool, so she picked up the backpack and walked out without saying a word.
"Hey, girl, I'm giving you five cents of silver because you're a girl and it's not easy to collect herbs."
When the waiter saw Li Mengyue was about to step out of the store, he suddenly became very anxious.
You should know that the boss sent a letter some time ago asking me to buy a large amount of Panax notoginseng. All the stock in the store was sent to the boss, but that was not enough. In the morning, the shopkeeper was still worrying about where to get Panax notoginseng.
I didn't expect that I was so lucky. I actually met a young girl selling Panax notoginseng. Although they were still fresh herbs and not processed, they were all top-quality Panax notoginseng!
If I buy it with my own money and then sell it to the store at a high price, I will not only help the store owner out of his urgent need, but also make a fortune.
It is also possible that because of this incident, I will be valued by the shopkeeper. If I am lucky, I may even catch the boss's eye. Will I have to worry about not having money to spend in the future?
But while he was calculating, Li Mengyue had already walked out the door.
When the guy saw Li Mengyue taking the herbs away without saying a word, he became very anxious.
They hurried to chase after her, but Li Mengyue walked so fast that before the waiter could catch up, she had already reached Tongxin Hall opposite Huichun Hall.
Even though the servants of Huichuntang were unwilling, they could only vent their dissatisfaction by stamping their feet.
Because they were in the same business as Tongxintang across the street and they all knew each other, it was naturally not appropriate for them to just go to each other's store, not to mention that they had to bring people back and ruin other people's business.
Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the guts. If he caused the shopkeeper to become enemies with Tongxintang, then his hard-earned backdoor entry into Huichuntang would definitely fail.
Li Mengyue didn't care whether the Huichuntang waiter would regret it or not, as she had already arrived at Tongxintang.
As soon as she walked into the lobby, before Li Mengyue could say anything, a waiter came up and asked, "Miss, are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
"Brother, I sell medicinal herbs."
When the guy from Tongxintang heard about selling medicinal herbs, there was no disdain on his face. Instead, he thought it was normal and asked in a calm tone.
"What medicinal herbs are you selling, girl? Can you show me first?"
Li Mengyue saw that the waiter of Tongxintang did not look down on her because of her casual clothes, so she put the backpack in front of the waiter.
The guy saw most of the Panax notoginseng in the backpack, but didn't think much of it until he saw a Ganoderma lucidum in an inconspicuous corner. Then he straightened his expression.
He glanced at Li Mengyue and said cautiously, "Miss, please follow me to the inner hall. I need the shopkeeper to come over."
Li Mengyue did not refuse. She knew that the waiter had seen the Ganoderma lucidum and was afraid that he could not make the decision, so she said she would find the shopkeeper.
Following the waiter to the inner hall, the waiter asked Li Mengyue to sit down, and then brought her a cup of tea before leaving.
Li Mengyue sat on the chair and waited quietly. After a cup of tea, the waiter came in with a middle-aged man.
As soon as the middle-aged man walked into the room, he saw a girl with fair skin and clear eyes. Upon closer inspection, his eyes were filled with a faint smile, just like the moonlight and stars, which seemed to be able to dispel the darkness in people's hearts and illuminate their hearts completely, making it impossible to take your eyes away.
The key point is that in addition to her outstanding appearance, her temperament is also eye-catching. At just one glance, the middle-aged man felt that this woman was extraordinary.
Originally, Xiao Xu asked him to come over and said that there was a girl selling medicinal herbs, including Panax notoginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, but he didn't take it seriously.
After all, the store is very busy every day. If he were to receive everyone who came to sell medicinal herbs, he wouldn't have to do anything else that day and could just look at the herbs.
I used to think Xiao Xu was reliable, so I planned to let him learn how to identify and dispense medicines. But now it seems that Xiao Xu still needs more training.
However, when I saw the girl selling medicine, I thought that I might have misunderstood Xiao Xu.
When Li Mengyue looked at Shopkeeper Wang, Shopkeeper Wang said in a friendly manner: "Miss, my last name is Wang, you can call me Shopkeeper Wang."
Li Mengyue stood up and said calmly, "Hello, Shopkeeper Wang. I have some medicinal herbs here. The price is right and I can sell them directly to your store."
"Oh! Xiao Xu said that the girl has Panax notoginseng and Ganoderma lucidum."
Li Mengyue quickly picked up the backpack and placed the Panax notoginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in front of Manager Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang has worked at Tongxin Hall for nearly twenty years and has seen many good medicinal materials, but he saw the top-quality Panax notoginseng being casually packed in a backpack and the Ganoderma lucidum placed in an inconspicuous corner.
Suddenly, an expression of heartache appeared on Shopkeeper Wang's face.
Shopkeeper Wang immediately held the backpack in his arms like a treasure, and then placed it carefully on the ground.
He picked up the Panax notoginseng first, and after seeing the smile on his face that he couldn't close, he picked up the Ganoderma lucidum, and his hands were shaking.
Afraid of accidentally damaging the Ganoderma, he calmed down and told Xiao Xu: "Hurry up and get me a box."
Xiao Xu was standing at the door. When he heard the shopkeeper's instructions, he immediately went to the lobby to get the box.
Before Xiao Xu came back with the box, Shopkeeper Wang had been holding the Ganoderma lucidum.
After a while, Xiao Xu brought the box over. Shopkeeper Wang put the Ganoderma lucidum into the box and then observed it carefully.
According to his experience, this Ganoderma lucidum is at least five hundred years old and can be regarded as the treasure of the store.
He immediately said to Li Mengyue: "Girl, the store will take these Panax notoginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. I will give you a fair price. What do you think?"
Li Mengyue got this hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum by chance. She knew that it was very precious, but she wanted to get some money before returning to Xinghua Village. The fifty taels in her hand now were still too little.
Besides, this Ganoderma lucidum is still small. She also has a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in her hand. In comparison, the five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is not good enough and is only suitable to be sold for money.
"Then what price can Shopkeeper Wang offer?"
Shopkeeper Wang saw that the woman could easily produce a 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and knew that she was definitely not an ordinary person, so he did not dare to cheat her on the price.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said to Li Mengyue: "Miss, although these Panax notoginseng are of high quality, they are not processed yet, so I will sell them at one penny per pound. As for the Ganoderma lucidum, according to my experience, it is about five hundred years old. How about five hundred taels for you?"
"Shopkeeper Wang, this..."
Before Li Mengyue finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wang said anxiously: "Miss, the price I gave you is already very fair, but when we get to the capital, the price will definitely be much higher."
Li Mengyue knew that what Shopkeeper Wang said was true, but she had just come here from the capital and would definitely not go back in the short term, so she said, "Shopkeeper Wang's price is fair. Give me the silver notes for the Lingzhi and change the Sanqi into loose silver."
When Manager Wang heard what Li Mengyue said, he asked Xiao Xu to quickly find the accountant to get the money, in case Li Mengyue went back on her word.
In fact, although Panax notoginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are good, they don’t play a big role for Li Mengyue. It would be more practical to exchange them for silver.
Moreover, with her ability, it would not be a problem for her to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. Besides, the mountains in this dynasty had not been mined, and there were many rare medicinal herbs deep in the mountains.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Mengyue got five hundred and thirty-five taels of silver. Before she walked out of the door of Tongxin Hall, Li Mengyue put it into the space.
After selling the herbs, I walked on the street and saw all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. Some shops were busy with people coming and going and doing good business, while some shops were deserted and no one went in for a long time.
Just as Li Mengyue was strolling leisurely on the street, the system's voice rang in her mind again.
[Hiss! It smells so good, host, do you smell the aroma of rice? ]
"No."
[How could there be none? Host, look, there is a wonton stand in front of you. Some people are eating it voraciously, and the soup is gone in just two or three gulps. It must be delicious. I really want to try it!]
Li Mengyue ignored the little foodie System and walked towards the pancake stand: "Auntie, how much are the pancakes?"
The master who was selling sesame cakes saw a little girl coming to the stall and quickly said, "Two cents each."
"Give me five."
As she spoke, Li Mengyue took out ten cents and handed them to the aunt.
The aunt quickly picked out five sesame cakes from the basket, wrapped them in paper, and put them in Li Mengyue's hand.
[Host, there are five sesame cakes. You eat two, I eat two, and there is one left. What should we do?]
Hearing the system say this, Li Mengyue understood what the system meant and said: [The remaining one is yours.]
[Ah! Host, I am so sorry, but since you insisted on me eating, I will eat it for you. That is, it would be better if you have another bowl of wontons. If you eat dry food without some soup, you will have indigestion.]
After living with the system for a month, Li Mengyue really couldn't understand how a system could eat more than herself, and eat so much soup and suffer from indigestion. The system doesn't even have a stomach, so how could it suffer from indigestion?
Li Mengyue found it quite interesting to see the system finding all kinds of excuses to get free food and drinks. At least life was not so boring anymore.
Unable to stand the system's nagging, Li Mengyue walked to the wonton stall and ordered two bowls of wontons.
The wonton seller looked at Li Mengyue's small figure and persuaded her, "Girl, my wontons are large and affordable. One bowl is enough for a grown man. Just one bowl is enough."
Li Mengyue knew the stall owner's good intentions. She saw that the wontons were large and the bowl was also big, so one bowl was enough for her.
But it has a little foodie system that keeps clamoring for wontons. If I don't let it eat, it will definitely be upset with me again.
"Uncle, it's okay. Just give me two bowls. You won't be short of money." Li Mengyue put the money for two bowls of wontons on the table.
Seeing that he couldn't convince the wonton seller, the wonton seller stopped trying to persuade him. Besides, he could sell one more bowl and earn more money, so why not?
