After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

The shopkeeper was very cautious and wanted to pick up the ginseng to examine it carefully.

But Zhong Ning suddenly covered the cloth and pretended to take it back!

The meaning is very clear. You haven’t paid yet, so what are you looking at?

The shopkeeper withdrew his hand in dismay, and then said, "This ginseng, sir, must be a hundred-year-old ginseng. According to the recycling price, it is worth two hundred taels of silver!"

The shopkeeper raised two fingers, and Zhong Ning almost laughed out of anger.

If she remembered correctly, the book said that Xu Yongzhang sold this ginseng for three hundred taels.

Moreover, time is of the essence and there is no room for bargaining.

When it came to her, it became two hundred taels!

What a fool!

What is the best reputation? It’s just a matter of serving different people differently!

Zhong Ning wrapped the cloth bag carefully and placed it solemnly in the basket.

Then he picked up the broken basket and walked out.

The shopkeeper got anxious when he saw this.

No, he quoted a price, you can bargain!

If you are not satisfied with the price, just tell us!

Isn't it a bit too much for you to just leave?

He didn't care about yelling, and hurriedly trotted over to stop the man, saying with a careful smile: "Sir, sir, let's talk it over, let's talk it over!"

"I wanted to talk to him nicely, but the shopkeeper was just fooling me!" Zhong Ning said ruthlessly, "I thought Jirentang wouldn't bully its customers just because of its size."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, "Young Master is not from the medical field, so perhaps you don't know the market. Although this hundred-year-old ginseng is rare, it would sell for at least five hundred taels in the capital, but our place is small, so the price will be lower. It's absolutely not that I want to take advantage of you!"

"Ha!" Zhong Ning sneered. "If that's the case, then I'll go to Huichuntang, the largest Huichuntang in this county, and try again. What if they're willing to pay me a high price?"

After saying that, Zhong Ning avoided the shopkeeper and walked out on his own.

"Two hundred and fifty taels! Our offer is two hundred and fifty taels!" the shopkeeper shouted anxiously.

He paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "I don't want much, just four hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper's face turned red and white, then pale and blue, and he looked extremely conflicted. Finally, he shouted, "Three hundred taels, no higher, sir, this is really the highest price our shop can offer!"

"If you still can't accept this price, then you'll have to miss this trip!"

The shopkeeper's face was filled with bitterness, and he portrayed his grief and sorrow perfectly!

Zhong Ning sighed, "Besides ginseng, I actually wanted to trade a few other wild medicinal herbs with your store, but I didn't expect... Never mind, I'll go ask at other stores!"

"No, no, no! Sir, please stay, please stay!" When the shopkeeper heard that there were other medicinal herbs, he could no longer sit still.

"Three hundred and thirty taels, young master, this is a big increase for you. And this price depends on what other medicinal herbs you mentioned." The shopkeeper smiled again and invited Zhong Ning back to his seat.

Although this price still did not meet her expectations, it was a small place after all, so it was not too small.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning took the wild Gastrodia elata out of the wooden basket.

As for Ganoderma lucidum.

She decided to keep it and sell it when she needed money again.

There were about ten jin of Gastrodia elata, and one jin was worth ten taels of silver, which was almost one hundred taels.

In total, Zhong Ning got a total of 450 taels.

The shopkeeper considerately took out four hundred taels of silver ingots and fifty taels of silver change.

Zhong Ning also bought a bottle of aphrodisiac, senna leaves, croton and knockout drug.

She thought about it. Although she had no intention of harming anyone, in this era, human life was inherently precious, and there was no guarantee that others would not intend to harm her.

So she added another bottle of arsenic to the bottle of medicine she had already prepared.

The total cost was twenty-two taels.

When the shopkeeper finally saw her off, his face had turned the color of liver.

There is no other reason, it’s because the reason Zhong Ning made up is really ridiculous.

The reason for buying aphrodisiacs was that her eldest brother was found to be impotent after getting married, and her parents were anxious to have a grandchild, so they asked her to buy some medicine to try.

She bought the knockout drug because her pig was going to be slaughtered. She couldn't bear to see the pig die in such pain, so she planned to knock the pig unconscious before killing it.

She bought arsenic purely out of curiosity. There had been an influx of rats in her house recently, and she wanted to see if this stuff could really kill people instantly!

As for the croton and senna leaves, he said that his mother had been suffering from severe constipation recently, so he bought some medicine to help her clear her body.

Shopkeeper:……..

It depends on whether I believe it or not, and you’re done!

.......

Just when Zhong Ning walked out of Jirentang.

The sky seemed even darker, with strong winds sweeping up dark clouds that covered the sky above.

The sky, which had originally had a hint of brightness, was now gloomy.

at the same time.

Xu Yongzhang, who was studying in the academy, suddenly covered his chest tightly, as if he had lost something.

I feel empty and extremely uncomfortable.

He covered his chest and staggered out of the room.

At this moment, he just wanted to go home!

He wanted to know whether his mother had come back after inquiring about the news, and how much that dead girl could be sold for?

When will this money reach him?

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

But I can’t tell what went wrong?

It can't be that the dead girl ran away, right?

How can this be?

She is a weak woman, with no money and no power.

She rarely even leaves the village gate and doesn't even know where the county town is. Where else can she go?

Xu Yongzhang was certain that Zhong Ning was just an illiterate country girl, and her personal freedom could only be determined by him and his mother Zhou Yuhua.

Thinking of this, Xu Yongzhang felt a little relieved.

The sky gradually cleared up. With his mother around, that dead girl couldn't escape.

He would go home in the evening to see what news his mother had found out, and then decide whether to sell or give away the dead girl!

If the selling price is high, selling will naturally be the priority!

With the money, he can also make connections.

But if the selling price is not high, it would be better to give her directly to Master Chang as a concubine!

Although it is free, I can still get the attention of Mr. Chang.

By then, being recommended by him to Mr. Wu and getting an invitation to Wu's residence would be a piece of cake!

He also had to remind his mother to be nicer to that dead girl these days.

At least let her have some flesh on her face, otherwise no matter whether she is sold or given away, people may not be interested in such a skinny bean sprout.

Thinking of this, Xu Yongzhang frowned slightly. Somehow, he always felt that things would not be that simple.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Forget it, he will go home and take a look before making a decision.

This matter concerns his future and whether he can successfully become a disciple. It is extremely important and there must not be any mistakes!

Although he knew that this was indeed not a good thing to do.

But their family was originally poor, and only if he passed the imperial examination would the family have a future. For this goal, everyone's sacrifice was necessary.

Yes, it is like that!

After thinking about this, Xu Yongzhang walked towards the village without any pressure!
