The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 97 Miss, can you be more serious?

In this case, how can we easily let go of such a good market?

It was still early, so Gu Yin did what she said and said to Xue: "Mom, I have something to go out for."

Having said that, he ran out with Pearl.

Xue shook her head and smiled at her two younger sons, "Look at your sister, she's always in a hurry."

Gu Chenheng's face still had the warmth of Gu Yin's pinch on it, and he pursed his lips and replied, "Sisters like this are great."

Such a sister made him feel particularly kind and energetic. He usually didn't like to talk, but his sister would never subconsciously ignore him like other people did.

"Yes!" Gu Chenjun also nodded.

Seeing her two younger sons defending their sister so much, Xue's smile couldn't help but widen a little.

"Miss, where are we going?" Zhenzhu asked as she followed Gu Yin out of the yard.

"Well... let's go to the pharmacy first." Most of the things Gu Yin wanted were traditional Chinese medicines, so it would be a good idea to go to the pharmacy.

"Ah? Miss, are you sick?" Zhenzhu exclaimed and walked forward to check Gu Yin's body.

Gu Yin flicked her forehead lightly: "Your young lady is fine!"

Pearl was startled by the sound and looked at Gu Yin sadly.

"Let's go to the pharmacy and buy some things." Gu Yin ignored Zhenzhu's gaze and went to find Xiao Lizi to drive the carriage.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a medicine shop. Gu Yin got off the carriage, looked up at the name of the medicine shop, and muttered unconsciously: "Baicaotang."

As the two of them walked into Baicaotang, the waiter behind the counter raised his head and greeted them warmly: "Sir, what would you like to buy?"

Gu Yin looked at the medicine cabinets covering the entire wall behind the waiter and asked, "Do you have all the herbs?"

"Sir, you have come to the right place. We have all kinds of medicinal herbs here. Our pharmacy has the most complete range of medicinal herbs in the whole Ning County." The waiter said confidently.

"Okay, give me two taels of Atractylodes macrocephala, two taels of Radix Aconiti Lateralis, two taels of Radix Angelicae Dahuricae..." Gu Yin listed a dozen herbs in quick succession, paused for a moment, and proposed the last herb needed: "Finally, six taels of ginseng."

"Sir, what grade of ginseng do you want?" The waiter asked with a smile when he heard Gu Yin wanted ginseng. "We want three qualities: top, medium and ordinary. The prices are also different. Top quality ones are 500 taels of silver per tael, medium ones are 300 taels per tael, and ordinary ones are much cheaper, only 100 taels of silver for every two ginsengs."

So expensive! Gu Yin was secretly shocked. No wonder the heroines in the novels she had read before all made a fortune by selling ginseng. She didn't know if it was too late for her to go to the mountains to dig for ginseng now.

"A normal one will do." Gu Yin said without hesitation. However, the cost of making a facial cream is too high. She didn't know whether she could set the price higher at that time.

The waiter was delighted to see a big customer coming. He quickly and skillfully began to take out the medicine from the grids and weigh it with steady and quick movements.

It didn't take long for the waiter to pack the herbs that Gu Yin needed and tied them into several full bundles.

"Sir, the total is nine hundred and six taels." The waiter said respectfully.

"Pearl, check out."

The two men led a few bundles of herbs out of the shop, put the things on the carriage, and were about to climb on the carriage to go home when they suddenly heard a burst of irritable cursing coming from not far away.

Gu Yin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that something seemed to be being processed in front of a shop not far away. There were already several sacks of goods piled in front of the shop.

Gu Yin walked over as if possessed by a ghost, only to hear a man say irritably, "I shouldn't have bought it earlier. This time I'm losing a lot!"

"What's the loss?" Gu Yin was curious.

"It's these dried flowers!" the man said casually.

"Dried flowers? What dried flowers?" Gu Yin continued to ask.

The man then realized that he had just been responding to someone else, and when he turned around, he saw that it was actually a little girl.

"Osmanthus, gardenia, and other miscellaneous dried flowers." The man didn't care who Gu Yin was. Besides, he was planning to dispose of the dried flowers he had collected, so there was nothing to hide.

It turned out to be dried flowers. Gu Yin immediately became interested: "Are you the owner of this shop? Are you going to sell these dried flowers?"

"What are you selling? No one wants it."

Oh, it turns out to be the boss, but: "Why doesn't anyone want it?"

According to Gu Yin's understanding, some people would buy it to make snacks or something like that.

Hearing Gu Yin's question, the boss began to complain: "Hey, it's not that easy. Those big stores that need dried flowers have long gone to the countryside to buy them. And those big customers who can really afford to buy them all have their own purchase channels, so they won't be interested in such a small thing as mine. I was just fooled by the relatives of my second aunt's son's wife's eldest brother-in-law, who said that I could make a lot of money by buying these and reselling them. As a result..."

The boss looked regretful. He shouldn't have listened to others so easily. Now he suffered a huge loss.

"Then... I wonder what the boss is going to do with these dried flowers?"

“Take it to the county town and see if there’s anyone willing to buy it. If so, you can get your money back.” The boss sighed softly. If still no one wants it, he can only consider himself unlucky.

"Boss, just name a price. If the price is reasonable, just sell it to me." Gu Yin chuckled.

The boss was ecstatic: "Does the girl really want it?"

"Look at your price. It's too expensive. I can't afford it." Gu Yin said indifferently.

The boss pondered for a moment, then made a firm offer: "Fifty taels, I'll sell you everything here."

Gu Yin pulled Zhenzhu over and whispered in her ear, "Is this price reasonable?"

Gu Yin didn’t know the price of dried flowers here, so she could only ask Zhenzhu for advice.

Pearl nodded and whispered back, "The boss must have sold it at a loss."

Sure enough, as soon as Pearl finished speaking, the boss explained: "Girl, this price is very cheap. I just want to make some money back, so I sell it to you at a loss."

"Deal. The boss is a straightforward person." Gu Yin agreed. The fact that he was willing to sell at a loss showed that the boss was quite honest.

The boss felt much happier after successfully selling out the accumulated goods, as at least he was able to make some of his money back.

The carriage couldn't accommodate all the passengers, so Gu Yin gave the boss two more taels of silver and asked him to help send it back. Naturally, the boss agreed.

Gu Yin bought the materials she needed and also unexpectedly got a few bags of dried flowers. She was in a very good mood and squinted her eyes and hummed a song along the way.

Pearl looked at the young lady who was shaking her head and sighed silently in her heart, fortunately there were no outsiders here, otherwise people would think that her young lady was crazy.

"Miss, what are you buying so many things for?"

Gu Yinxing opened her eyes slightly, and Zhenzhu’s round face came into view.

Gu Yin suddenly leaned forward, stretched out her hands and pinched the flesh on Pearl's cheeks, and said with a smile: "Of course it's for your pretty little face. Look at your face, it's all dry."

Zhenzhu rolled her eyes. Because her cheeks were being pulled by Gu Yin, her voice changed: "I don't understand. Miss, can you be more serious..."
