Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

This is also a skill. Madam Bai smiled and said, "In Bianjing, a good concoction master can earn 3-10 taels per month, which is quite good."

Zhao Qiaoniang's eyes lit up: "So many?"

"What do you think? Most chefs don't pass on their skills to outsiders, and only pass them on to their own family members. I learned this because my master likes me." Mrs. Bai said as she lowered her head to look at the herbs.

There is also a mountain of Atractylodes macrocephala on the side, with slender and curved rhizomes, some of which still have some fibrous roots. The dry skin is slightly wrinkled, emitting a simple earthy smell.

"Pack them all up for me," said Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai is now immersed in the treasure hunt for medicinal herbs and has started a frenzy of shopping.

Her eyes swept across the stalls, her hands constantly turning over the mountains of medicinal herbs.

She first bought five large sacks of Scutellaria baicalensis. The roots of Scutellaria baicalensis were slender, and although there was some dirt on the surface, the quality was still good and it emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

Then, he put three piles of Bupleurum into his bag. The stems of Bupleurum were dry and tough, and were stacked in bundles, the quantity was quite considerable.

There were also seven or eight sacks of honeysuckle. Although the flowers were a little shriveled, their original appearance could still be recognized.

In an inconspicuous corner, she was surprised to find several ginseng plants.

However, as the stall owner said, these ginsengs are still young, the rhizomes are small, the ginseng bodies are not full and strong enough, and the fibrous roots are sparse, so the price is relatively low.

The climate in the capital is dry, and when febrile diseases are prevalent, the demand for medicinal materials that clear heat and purge fire, nourish yin and moisten the lungs increases greatly, and herbs such as Dendrobium and Scrophularia are often in short supply.

Moreover, the capital city is home to many nobles who pay attention to health and beauty, and the demand for nourishing and beauty-enhancing medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos continues to rise.

In addition, some expensive animal-based medicinal materials, such as musk and bezoar, are rare due to their limited sources.

Buy, buy, buy...

Lin Wanwan was also stunned. Is this really Mrs. Bai?

Master Bai looked at her with doting eyes and said:

"Wanniang, ahem... your grandma used to love shopping the most.

You didn't see how she used to spend money like water! But she was also very good at making money.

Unlike now, people are afraid to buy medicinal herbs.”

All I can say is that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Mrs. Bai bought two large carts full of things from the first stall to the last one. Xiao Sun was stunned:

“This lady is truly amazing, her vision is unmatched.

Well, I'll take you to Longhu's own pharmacy and if you find anything you like, I can give it to you at a lower price."

Master Bai coughed and said, "Madam, why don't we just forget about it? We have so many herbs here. It would be terrible if we couldn't sell them in Bianjing."

Madam Bai looked at him and said:

“These medicines will sell well even in Bian Jing. Who knows what the market will be like next year!

It’s always better to buy more to be prepared.”

Xiao Sun nodded and said, "I think what the lady said makes sense."

Master Bai hummed, "That's true. If it's not your wife who's spending the money, then naturally you won't be in a hurry."

Xiao Sun led everyone to a magnificent building with a plaque with the words "Longhu Gang Pharmacy" hung high on it.

Master Bai said softly, "Madam, why don't we take a break today? Don't we need to buy some more food?"

Madam Bai looked at him calmly and said, "Are you anxious? Are you reluctant to spend money on me?"

"Heaven and earth are my witnesses. I am willing to spend any amount of money you want. Don't we have to save up a dowry for Wanwan?" Master Bai said hurriedly.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know everything."

As you step into the pharmacy, the first floor suddenly appears before your eyes.

In the spacious space, rows of tall wooden shelves are neatly arranged, and the shelves are densely packed with various medicinal materials.

The bamboo basket on the ground was filled with Polygonum multiflorum that had just been dug from the mountain. The roots were of different sizes, with rough and dark skin, and a smell of soil.

The sack over there is filled with dried Eucommia ulmoides. The bark is in the form of plates, and fine silver-white rubber fibers are exposed at the broken parts, exuding a unique woody aroma.

Madam Bai waved her hand and continued shopping...

However, most of the things Mrs. Bai bought next were medicinal herbs related to the epidemic.

Lin Wanwan couldn't help but shudder as she watched the guys carrying out sack after sack.

Zhao Qiaoniang also swallowed her saliva and said, "Aunt Bai, didn't we buy too much?"

"What's more? Once we get to Bianjing, you'll know how much money we can make from these herbs.

We are going to Bianjing anyway, so we might as well take some herbs with us. Don't worry, I know a lot of people in Bianjing, and these herbs can be sold." Madam Bai had a plan in mind.

Zhao Qiaoniang felt relieved only when she knew that she had a chance of success.

After spending all their money here, Xiao Sun looked at them and said, "Shall I take you to the cloth shop?"

"Cloth shop? We already have plenty of cloth, enough for us to wear." Master Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Li Dongyang, who was standing next to him, also swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Lao Bai, your wife is really good at spending money. She directly bought more than 10,000 taels of medicinal herbs. I'm convinced, I'm convinced."

Master Bai coughed and said, "Wanniang is a little willful sometimes. Women are always willful."

Li Dongyang rolled his eyes and said:

"Come on! Baiyin, who in the whole of Bianjing doesn't know what kind of personality you have? Is there anyone who loves his wife more than you?

Every month's salary is given to your wife."

Bai Yin chuckled and said, "Oh! Isn't it normal to pamper your wife?"

Lin Wanwan looked at the light in his eyes and smiled. How could there be a man who dotes on his wife so much!

"To be honest, I admire you very much. You have been devoted to your wife for so many years. Not many men can do that.

Even I have a concubine." Li Dongyang said helplessly.

Bai Yin looked at Madam Bai with a smile and said, "Wanniang, everything she does is successful. I trust her. My salary was not high back then, but it was thanks to her."

Mrs. Bai had a talent for business. She nodded and said, "Then let's go to the cloth shop..."

Xiao Sun smiled and took them directly to the cloth shop.

As soon as you step into the store, you can feel an atmosphere that is completely different from other cloth shops.

The store is spacious, with bright light slanting in from the high windows, illuminating rows of neatly arranged fabrics.

Looking around, there are so many kinds of fabrics on the shelves that it is dizzying.

Here we have common solid-colored cotton cloth with soft and delicate texture and comfortable touch. The colors range from pure white to deep black with natural transition and no impurities.

There is also gorgeous silk, with exquisite patterns embroidered on the gauze as thin as a cicada's wing.

There are also thick brocades with tight textures and rich and varied patterns, such as auspicious dragons and phoenixes, or blooming peonies.

Xiao Sun introduced with a somewhat proud expression:

"Our cloth shop has a lot of cloth directly supplied from Bian Jing.

Just like this brocade, it is the work of a top-notch workshop, using the finest silk threads and woven through many complex processes.

The colors are bright and long-lasting, and the patterns are clear and exquisite. It is an excellent choice whether for making clothes or decoration.

We recently received a new batch of materials, all of which are the most fashionable styles and colors in Bianjing City, and they are very popular there."
