Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Chapter 12: First time selling medicine

When Xueyao and the others arrived at Lotus City, the city's streets, dotted with flowers and embroidered with colorful patterns, were already bustling with laughter and joy. Various shops, restaurants, and small vendors were all busy going about their business.

Liancheng, located east of Meihua Mountain, is over twenty miles from its foot. The city is situated in a basin between mountains, its shape resembling a lotus leaf floating on water, hence its name.

After asking passers-by, Xueyao led Yun Duoduo and Renhu and quickly found a clinic.

On the door of the clinic, there are three big characters written: Minsheng Hall.

Xue Yao thought to herself that this was a good name for the clinic. Regardless of whether it sounded vulgar or elegant, the important thing was that it took the common people into consideration.

This clinic has an elegant layout, a simple atmosphere and is full of the flavor of time.

When they reached the door, Xueyao turned to look at Yun Duoduo and Renhu, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and take a look first."

"Yes."

"Ok."

The two of them stopped and did not move forward.

Xue Yao entered the clinic and looked around. She saw that the clinic was spacious and bright, with a medicine cabinet on one side and a treatment area and a rest area on the other.

The medicine cabinet is distributed with many drawers of the same size, and each drawer is labeled with the name of the medicinal material.

The medicine labels are also uniform in size and placed in the same location in each drawer. It looks neat and organized, and one can't help but sigh that the owner here is very meticulous.

Inside and outside the clinic, there is a faint herbal fragrance, which is refreshing.

Behind the counter, a clerk had just finished filling the medicine. He looked up and saw Xueyao staring at the medicine cabinet, so he asked:

"Miss, do you want to get some medicine?"

Xue Yao came back to her senses when she heard his voice. "I have some medicinal herbs on hand and want to sell them to you. Is your shopkeeper here?"

When Xue Yao first entered the human city, she was not familiar with the rules of the business world, so she simply stated her purpose directly.

As she spoke, across the counter, hidden by her wide sleeves, she could see that she had a cloth bag in her hand.

When the clerk heard that she was selling medicinal herbs, his eyes lit up and he said, "Miss, what medicinal herbs do you have? Can you let me take a look first?"

Xueyao placed the cloth bag on the counter and opened it. "Do you think these herbs are okay?"

Xue Yao didn't know whether the names of the herbs here were the same as what her mother had described, so she didn't tell the waiter what they were and just let him check it out himself.

Just as the waiter's eyes were getting brighter, Xue Yao said again, "If it's feasible, there are still a lot of these herbs. I can deliver them regularly."

The clerk was shocked when he heard this. Was this a living Buddha? They'd been running low on some medicinal herbs, and now they were delivering them? He kept his composure, but his heart was already surging.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go get the shopkeeper."

Soon, the shopkeeper came out from the inner room with his clerk.

The shopkeeper had a calm expression and was about forty years old. He walked to the counter with a smile, his eyes swept over the herbs, and then turned to Xue Yao, "Miss, do you want to sell these herbs?"

Like his companions, he had no idea these herbs were imbued with spiritual energy; they simply felt they had been cultivated so well that they seemed to have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. They had never seen anyone dig up such fine herbs before, and they loved them at first sight.

"Yes, sir. I still have a lot of herbs. If possible, I can send them to you regularly every month."

Upon seeing the small pile of herbs, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper had already noticed that several herbs, such as Poria cocos, Forsythia suspensa, and Panax notoginseng, were often in short supply. The mountain Ganoderma lucidum, in particular, filled him with uncontrollable excitement. When the young woman mentioned that there were still many herbs left and that they could be delivered regularly every month, his joy was indescribable.

"Okay, young lady, I'll take all these herbs. How about one tael of silver for these herbs?" After saying that, he turned to the waiter and ordered, "Go, get one tael of silver."

"Wait a minute." Xue Yao saw this and quickly raised her hand to signal, "Shopkeeper, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

The clerk was surprised when he heard this. He thought, their boss is always kind and this price is not low, could it be that this girl thinks it is not enough?

The shopkeeper also showed a hint of surprise and was about to speak when he heard Xueyao's voice again.

"Shopkeeper, these herbs are just samples for you to check out. I've brought quite a few this time, so I'll have someone deliver them to you right away." After saying that, he walked out, leaving the cloth bag and the herbs inside behind.

After walking out of the clinic, Xueyao gestured to Yun Duoduo and Renhu.

When Yun Duoduo and Renhu approached, Xueyao said, "Renhu, go hire a cart and then come back to find us." As she said that, she took out some change from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him.

These small changes were left by the original owner. The amount of small changes left by the original owner was not much, and because Xueyao did not know much about the market conditions, she did not dare to spend it carelessly.

After Renhu left, Xueyao led Yunduoduo into a quiet alley. Once they were alone, Xueyao raised her hand and several large cloth bags filled with medicinal herbs piled up into a small mountain.

Before being taken out of the secret garden, these medicinal herbs were sorted, bundled, and wrapped in large pieces of cloth.

Yun Duoduo was stunned and had a face full of questions, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.

Renhu was extremely efficient and soon came over pushing a cart.

When Xueyao and Yun Duoduo bent down and prepared to lift the cloth bag, he hurriedly said, "Miss, you don't have to do anything, I can carry it."

After saying this, he quickly moved all the medicinal materials onto the cart.

When Renhu pushed these medicinal herbs to the clinic, the shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.

"Okay, okay. Girl, are these herbs the same as before?"

"Boss, please open them and have a look." Xueyao smiled with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Xiao Mu, come open it." Xiao Mu was the clerk from before, named Mu Chongyuan. He had been in the clinic for many years and was quite knowledgeable about herbs. When he heard the shopkeeper calling him, he immediately ran over.

After opening all the cloth bags, Mu Chongyuan and the shopkeeper's eyes sparkled with light.

"Okay, young lady, these herbs total six hundred taels of silver, is that okay?"

Six hundred taels? Xueyao didn't know that six hundred taels was enough for a family like the Tao family to live a good life for two or three years.

However, she also felt that this was already a great gain, so she readily bowed and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper!"

"Haha, young lady, you're so straightforward. My last name is Zhen, and it's fate that we met today." After some pleasantries, he added, "It's lunchtime now. If you don't mind, please stay and have a quick meal together at Juyuanlou across the street. How about that?"

Xueyao was just about to learn more about the specifics of this city. Shopkeeper Zhen had run a clinic here for many years and was naturally quite familiar with it. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a commotion outside the clinic.

When everyone walked out of the clinic, they saw a crowd of people gathered and talking.

Xueyao walked into the crowd and finally heard the whole story from the chattering. It turned out that a woman had suddenly fainted on the street and a kind person had taken her to the clinic.

At this moment, the woman's eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless, but her expression did not seem that painful.

None of the woman's relatives were present, and she was brought here by a kind couple.

The doctor was out seeing patients at the clinic and they didn't know when he would be back, so the two of them were very anxious.

"Boss, when will your doctor come back?" the man asked anxiously when he saw the boss coming out.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while." Mu Chongyuan replied before the shopkeeper even opened his mouth.

"You can try sending him to other clinics." Manager Zhen added.

Shopkeeper Zhen was well-versed in medicinal herbs and skilled in employing people. However, he could only treat minor illnesses and minor ailments. The clinic relied primarily on two doctors to treat patients, and unfortunately, today, due to a special situation, both doctors were out on duty.

The woman was sent to the clinic. Although he wanted to do his best to treat her, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The man was in a dilemma. They had good intentions, but if they sent the woman somewhere else, what if... He didn't dare to think about it. The woman standing next to him, his wife, was also worried, "What should I do?"
