Li Qiu didn't know what Xiaoyue was up to, and seeing that she wanted to bargain, he said, "No need to look, twenty taels."

"Manager Li, please take a closer look at this ginseng. Although it is young, it is of good quality. Please add some more. Besides, I will go up the mountain to collect herbs in the future. If I get anything good, I will think of you."

"Let's be honest, your ginseng is really not worth much. If it were in Shangjing City, maybe you could sell it for more money.

"Manager Li, please add a little more."

"This is only at my place. If it were at Tongchuntang, the price wouldn't be as high as mine.

"Manager Li, if you hadn't mentioned Tongchuntang, I would have forgotten one thing. Let me tell you, give me a little more money and I'll do you a favor. I guarantee that even if you don't want to take my ginseng, you'll still have to pay me."

"Miss Xiaoyue, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing that Li Qiu was very smart and finally brought up the key topic of the day, Xiaoyue pretended to smile mysteriously, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said:

"Manager Li, let me tell you, I gained a lot this time when I went into the mountains. Not only did I find this ginseng, but I also saved an old lady who was collecting herbs. The old lady accidentally fell and was injured. Because it was deep in the mountains, she waited for a long time but no one came. She had eaten all the water and food she brought with her, and she thought she would starve to death alone in the mountains."

"As you know, I just settled down in Xiaoqing Village and thought about trying my luck in the mountains. I didn't expect to meet her. I am a kind person, so how could I ignore her when I saw her?"

"I gave her half of my dry food and water, helped her stop the bleeding and bandaged her, and carried her out of the mountain. To thank me, she gave me a recipe for facial treatment and taught me how to prepare ginseng. I thought, I will sell the ginseng to you and prepare the medicine for facial treatment from you."

"Oh? Miss Xiaoyue, good deeds are rewarded. I, Li, would like to congratulate you first."

"Manager Li, you are too polite. Please continue listening to what I have to say. The old woman told me that she had some medical skills and wanted to find a place to practice medicine and earn some money. I recommended your Baicaotang to her."

"Yes, really?"

Li Qiu thought of the night of August 15th when the young lady said she wanted to find a doctor to come to Baicaotang for consultation. Just a few days later, he really found one.

But is this doctor reliable?

"Well, Miss Xiaoyue, what's the surname and name of the old lady you mentioned? Who is her master? And what disciples does she have?"

"Well... I'm just a country girl who goes hunting. I really don't understand what you're talking about, Shopkeeper Li. At that time, I got a prescription for my face and I was so happy that I didn't ask too many questions."

I haven't compiled it yet.

Li Qiu saw Xiaoyue's eyes flickering, and guessed that the so-called old woman was probably made up by the young lady. He asked so many questions at once, and the young lady might not have thought of what to say yet, so he stopped embarrassing her.

"But how good is the other party's medical skills? How can I introduce him to the patient?"

"This... this should be discussed with the old lady later, Shopkeeper Li. I only know some simple herbs, but I don't know any medical skills."

"Alright."

"If there is a gray-haired old lady who comes here and wants to see a doctor, and mentions me to you, Shopkeeper Li, you must not refuse her outright."

What old woman?

Recipe for treating face?

I still come here to see patients.

Is that you, young lady?

Li Qiu blinked hard at Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue held back her laughter and nodded slightly.

It was because Li Qiu blinked too quickly that Xiaoyue was afraid that his eyelids would cramp.

"Well, how is that doctor's skill? When the time comes, I or the other two doctors in Baicaotang will definitely..."

It's not that Li Qiu doesn't trust Xiaoyue, it's just that his understanding of the young lady's medical skills is still stuck in seven or eight years ago. Seeing a patient is a matter of life and death, he can't let the young lady do whatever she wants.

If you have real skills, that would definitely be a good thing.

But if you don't have the skills, don't take on any job.

Besides, Tongchuntang is eyeing Baicaotang covetously and is worried that they can't find any fault with Baicaotang, so they must not give the other party any handle.

Xiaoyue knew Li Qiu's worries. She was really skilled in medicine. Not to mention that she had obtained two doctoral degrees in Chinese and Western medicine before traveling across time, even with the original owner's medical skills, she was good enough to be a female doctor in this time and space. Not to mention that after traveling across time, she learned the secrets that Li Yan gave her in the space.

She also has a golden finger, modern medical equipment and modern medicines, as well as magical spring water that is not available in modern times or in ancient times.

If Xiaoyue can't cure any patient in this world, then probably no one else can.

Xiaoyue was confident, but Li Qiu was not.

But since the young lady was leisurely drinking tea and eating fruit snacks, he didn't know what to say.

"Um, Miss Xiaoyue, this ginseng..."

"Manager Li, how about thirty taels?"

After thinking for a while, Li Qiu said with a painful heart: "Then it's up to Miss Xiaoyue, thirty taels. But if you have any good medicine in the future, Miss Xiaoyue must sell it to my Baicao Hall. Also, if Miss Xiaoyue wants to get any medicine, she must come to my Baicao Hall. If my Baicao Hall doesn't have it, then it's another matter."

"Manager Li, let's make a deal. If we have any good stuff in the future, we will definitely sell it to Baicaotang first."

Li Qiu accepted Xiaoyue's ginseng and gave her a 20-liang silver note, a 5-liang silver ingot, 4-liang silver in small change, and 1,000 copper coins. He also called his most capable medicine boy to get Xiaoyue medicine.

Xiaoyue was waiting for the medicine boy to prepare the medicine when Li Qiu suddenly asked, "Miss Xiaoyue, is there anyone in your Xiaoqing Village selling surplus grain?"

"Manager Li, you want to buy grain? Why don't you go to the rice shop?"

"I'm not the one buying. It's a friend of mine who runs a winemaking workshop. Recently, one of his old customers suddenly increased the order volume, and he's in urgent need of a large amount of grain. I just remembered it, so I asked for him. If any villagers have surplus grain to sell, it should be cheaper than the price at the rice shop. His winery business is not doing well, so he wants to save some costs."

"I just arrived in Xiaoqing Village and I'm not familiar with the villagers. Shopkeeper Li might as well talk to Chun Bo and ask him to talk to the head of Xiaoqing Village. Maybe we can get some surplus grain from the village."

"My friend told me about it early in the morning, and I didn't have time to look for anyone else. When I saw Miss Xiaoyue, I just mentioned it."

"That's fine. If Shopkeeper Li needs any herbs urgently, I can go to the mountains to help."

"That's fine. Ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, tiger bone, bear gall and snake gall, I want all of them."

Xiaoyue was taking a bite of a peach and almost swallowed it when she heard Li Qiu's words.

Who is this!

Do you want to collect the medicinal herbs, or do you want my life?

No, what winery, what surplus grain, what old customer?

Why did the orders suddenly increase?

Could it be...
