Ye Guo's voice was pleasant and clear, and most importantly, there was no hint of humility in his words. As long as one knew that he was a doctor, one would naturally feel awe and caution.

He has been practicing medicine in this area all his life and has never seen this.

He couldn't help but relax a little more. He opened the small package handed to him by Boss Ye, and when he saw what was inside, his eyes lit up.

"Pearl? Xiaorong, go get a mortar." He picked up the smallest pearl and put it in the sun to examine it carefully. "If this pearl is real, I can give you 100 coins."

Nothing can distinguish the authenticity of pearls better than turning them into pearl powder. Before coming here, I was worried that they would not know the goods, but I didn't expect that they would be so good at the first try.

"There are 10 pearls in total. Although they are of different sizes, if you want them, I will sell them all to you at the same price."

The other pearls were bigger than the one in his hand. Doctor Sun did not expect that a young lady who was too poor to pay for medicine would be so generous with money. This was something he had not expected.

But he has always been a kind person, and asked Boss Ye, "Are you willing to do whatever she says?"

Before Boss Ye came, he was told to listen to my younger sister in everything. He was at most a tool and a bodyguard.

It's no wonder that Old Lady Ye made such arrangements. The Ye family has been engaged in farming for generations and are not good at talking. The only one who can talk to outsiders and bargain is Ye Laoer, and now Ye Laoer is still lying in bed.

Ye Guo first discovered the lotus root tips, then taught everyone how to eat lotus rice, and also let everyone eat snail meat. All of these things made their living standards rise sharply.

The Ye family's favoritism towards her has long since changed to being obedient to her now.

The question is, unconditional trust.

Boss Ye has dark skin but a kind face. Hearing this, he nodded again without hesitation. "I'm willing. My second son still owes you 300 silver coins for the medicine he brought last time."

Although Ye Guo had the original owner's memory, he still didn't have much idea about the money of this era. After his elder brother said this, and compared it, the concept became much clearer, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, Wow!

This pearl is really valuable, although not as valuable as the heroine's ginseng.

But for Ye Guo, a good life is never achieved through comparison.

All she cares about now is whether her family can have enough to eat and whether her second brother can recover from his injuries.

Doctor Sun turned around and glanced at the little girl again. He saw that her eyes widened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. However, she did not seem to regret what she had said before at all.

He knew whether the pearls in his hand were real or not. In fact, in such a remote place, there were hardly any villagers who cheated.

But even though she was poor, this young lady was so generous with money, even more so than any rich young ladies he had met in the county.

The Ye family is really good at teaching people.

When he left the clinic with 630 coins in his pocket and some fresh medicine in his backpack, Boss Ye felt his heart burning.

630 Wen was basically enough for the Ye family's income for a quarter, and that was on the premise that they lived frugally and the whole family went out to do odd jobs whenever they had free time.

"Now the money for the second brother's medicine is settled." Even in front of Ye Guo, Boss Ye couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

Ye Guo patted his elder brother's shoulder in a conscientious manner and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."

Before Ye Laoda could react, Ye Guo was stunned by her own domineering speech. Although she didn't exaggerate, she was just... a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, big brother, let's go buy some things while we're at the market." Ye Guo quickly changed the subject and made a point, I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Boss Ye's face was full of questions. "Buy things? What do we want to buy?"

"Just come with me." Ye Guo took charge of everything. She had planned it all before coming here.

When buying meat, make sure you eat real pork.

The two walked up to the meat stall and saw that the stall was similar to the modern ones, with various types of pork, bones, and offal displayed in different categories.

The butcher who sold meat was a sturdy middle-aged man, almost twice as big as Boss Ye. It was obvious that his meals were good enough.

Yes, in this era, the only lower-class people who had enough meat to eat were butchers and officials.

He was busy cutting meat, the knife in his hand flashing, his movements skillful and quick.

Seeing Boss Ye and the other man standing in front of the stall, he smiled and greeted them, "Brother, would you like to buy some meat?"

Boss Ye waved his hand hastily, but Ye Guo, who was standing by, pointed at a piece of fat and lean pork and said, "How much is this piece of pork?"

The boss didn't expect that the person in charge was actually a young lady, but he was happy to have business, so he smiled and replied: "The piece you are looking at, young lady, is moderately fat and lean, 10 cents per pound, there are more fat ones here, which can be used to make lard, 15 cents per pound."

"Then give me two pounds of fat ones and one pound of fat and lean ones." Ye Guo was quite satisfied with the price.

The butcher responded, picked up the meat and weighed it in his hand, then quickly picked up the knife and cut off a piece. He then weighed it on the scale and found that it was exactly two kilograms, no more, no less.

The other piece of meat was also cooked in the same smooth manner.

Ye Guo...it turns out that there are many masters among the people.

After weighing, the butcher bent down and cut a palm-sized piece of pig blood in the wooden basin at his feet, and wrapped it up together. "This pig blood is fresh today. I'll add some leeks to make a soup. It's delicious. I'll give it to you as a gift."

There is only one pork stall in the Santan market. Because the butcher is good at business, he can sell two pigs in each session.

Ye Guo was no exception. He pointed to the corner of the meat stall and asked, "How much is this bone?"

The butcher smiled even more broadly, "You mean these shanks? A small one costs one cent, a big one costs two cents."

"Then I want these two. Shop owner, please charge me two cents. I will come to you next time to buy meat." Ye Guo pointed at two bones, one large and one small, which had been chopped clean until only a few pieces of meat were left.

This thing is good, not expensive, and can be used to make soup to nourish the family. The butcher is also a good businessman, so he will definitely agree.

As expected, the butcher took the pumpkin leaves from the case board, tied them up and said with a smile, "Then next time, young lady, you must remember to buy meat. I am the only butcher in Santan. You will definitely not go to the wrong place."

The butcher handed the pork to Ye Guo, who took it and, after feeling its heavy weight, put it in Ye Lao Da's backpack.

Boss Ye took out the money he had prepared long ago, and Ye Guo carefully counted it again. The butcher was not in a hurry, and kept on nagging with a smile, "Young lady, you are really generous. Last time, there was also a young lady who was as easy to talk to as you. She bought all the offal from my stall in one go. I don't know if she will come today."

Ye Guo's hand trembled as he handed over the money.

She had no doubt at all that the young lady the butcher was talking about was the heroine.
