The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen
Chapter 15: Becoming a Rich Woman in Seconds
"Shopkeeper Wu, I not only have common herbs like aconite, angelica, and poria here, but also many that I dug up in the mountains a few days ago. Please take a look and see if you can take them." As she spoke, Wang Xinyao poured all the herbs in the backpack onto the table. Of course, she carefully held the ginseng wrapped in paper in her hands alone!
Shopkeeper Wu carefully examined the herbs Wang Xinyao had brought out, his eyes filled with delight. He gently picked them up, carefully examining their quality, muttering to himself, "These herbs look good. Miss, you've been a real help. I'll take them. With these herbs, we can provide treatment to those in need even faster."
He turned and shouted to the shop assistant outside, "Come here quickly and put these herbs away carefully." Then he said to Wang Xinyao, "Miss, you arrived just in time. If you have any more good herbs like this in the future, please bring them to me. You've done a great deed. I wonder how many people will benefit from it."
Wang Xinyao was delighted when she heard this. She was about to ask the price, but Shopkeeper Wu spoke first, "Miss, how about this? I'll give you fifty taels of silver for these herbs. Is that okay?"
Xie Xiaogang, standing nearby, stared with his eyes wide open, his mouth gaping as wide as if it could fit an egg. He froze in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He was truly astonished; he had never imagined such an ordinary basket of herbs could be so valuable!
Wang Xinyao muttered to herself, one tael of silver is equal to 1000 coins, so 50 taels of silver is indeed a lot. Judging from the market conditions, this price is already high. Maybe Manager Wu wanted to make friends with her and also wanted to thank her for the recipe!
"50 taels, no problem, thank you, Shopkeeper Wu!" Then she handed the ginseng in her hand to Shopkeeper Wu: "Excuse me, can you please take a look at this ginseng? How much is it worth?"
"Ginseng? Over 500 years old!" Shopkeeper Wu's previously composed expression was instantly filled with extreme surprise. His eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had beheld an unimaginably rare treasure. His mouth dropped open, his expression of astonishment frozen in that moment, his entire body in a state of shock.
Shopkeeper Wu has been in the herbal medicine business for many years and has seen countless herbs, including a wide variety of rare and precious ones. Normally, ginseng that's 100 years old is rare, let alone one that's over 500 years old. He knows that the older a ginseng is, the more its medicinal value and value increase exponentially. After 500 years, its medicinal and market value is inestimable.
"Miss, are you sure you want to sell this ginseng?" Shopkeeper Wu's hands trembled slightly unconsciously. He looked at the ginseng carefully and knew that such ginseng was hard to come by in the market. It could be said that there was no demand for it even if it was priced high!
"Are you sure you want to sell it? How much can you give me?" Wang Xinyao is seriously short of money! With the arrival of autumn, the weather will gradually turn colder. I need to buy clothes for my four children, change their quilts, and get more pairs of shoes. Sleeping on the floor all the time is not good, so I need to buy a bed. Also, if I have enough money, I need to build a new house. It leaks when it rains, and two rooms are just not enough for five people in my family!
"Miss, I'll give you 300 taels. Is that okay with you?" Shopkeeper Wu felt secretly delighted, but fearing that Wang Xinyao might regret it, he immediately added, "Of course. If it's not enough, we can discuss it!"
300 taels of silver exceeded Wang Xinyao's expectations. She thought that this ginseng could be sold for 100 taels at most!
"No problem, just 300 taels! Thank you, Manager Wu!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile. She didn't expect ginseng to be so expensive. It seems that she has become a rich woman in seconds!
After all the transactions were completed, the two men slowly walked out of the pharmacy. Xie Xiao just woke up from the deep shock. He had never seen such a huge amount of silver in his life. In the past, he drove the ox cart hard every day, running back and forth on the familiar road, and earned less than twenty cents in a trip. But what he saw in the pharmacy today completely overturned his understanding of wealth.
Wang Xinyao looked at the stunned and adorable Xie Xiaogang in front of her, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and without hesitation, she took out five taels of silver from her pocket and stuffed it into Xie Xiaogang's hand generously: "Brother Xiaogang, this is your hard work fee today! Take it!"
Xie Xiaogang's eyes widened, looking at the silver in his hand in disbelief. He had never thought he could get so much reward, and a surge of gratitude welled up in his heart: "Sister-in-law, no need, this is what I should do!"
"Brother Xiaogang, take it quickly! I'm rich now, I can afford it. If you follow me in the future, I guarantee you'll have everything you need." Wang Xinyao was so happy that she smiled complacently and said, "From now on, you can call me sister. I don't like people calling me sister-in-law!"
After all, he was an active child, and was immediately infected by Wang Xinyao's generosity: "Okay, then I'll take it, thank you sister!"
"You're welcome!" Wang Xinyao said, "Although she's only sixteen or seventeen now, her real age is 28. In her heart, Xie Xiaogang is just the boy next door." She continued, "You guys go back first. I still have a lot of things to buy, so I might not be home until the afternoon."
Xie Xiaogang hurriedly said: "Sister, I'll wait for you!"
Wang Xinyao waved her hand and said, "No need. To wait for me, the others have to walk back. They're older than me, so it's not good. Look, I'm young and have plenty of energy. It doesn't matter if I'm home a little late! I have my own brothers at home, and Dahua is already ten years old. I don't need to worry about the family at all. You guys go home first!"
She was still thinking in her mind that the medicinal herbs were all visible, and she had to find a way to sell the remaining wolf in the space. Maybe she could make a lot of money again, but she couldn't make the wolf appear out of thin air in front of Xie Xiaogang.
After saying goodbye to Xie Xiaogang, she began searching for a large restaurant. She asked many passersby and eventually learned that there were two large restaurants in Ping'an Town: Tianxia Diyilou and Qingnianlou. Tianxia Diyilou was prospering, while Qingnianlou was less so. Due to its lack of unique dishes, most of its customers went to Tianxia Diyilou.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xinyao decided to go to Tianxia Diyilou to find out what was going on. After all, business there was booming, and perhaps it would bring her more benefits!
So, she quietly went to a deserted corner and concentrated on controlling her consciousness. With a thought, the ferocious wolf instantly appeared before her. She quickly placed the wolf into a prepared sack and then took some fresh mushrooms from her space ring. Looking at them, she thought to herself, "Perhaps I could try to sell these mushrooms!"
After preparing everything, Wang Xinyao walked towards the restaurant!
True to its reputation as the best restaurant in the world, the place was bustling with activity, a constant stream of customers. Those dining here were all dressed in fine, elegant attire, a testament to their status and position. Two busy waiters flitted through the hall, warmly greeting each guest, their faces beaming with smiles, their work blissfully busy.
Wang Xinyao, carrying a heavy sack, happily walked towards the restaurant's main entrance. However, before she even stepped inside, one of the busy waiters immediately noticed her. He hurried over and rudely scolded her, "Where did you come from, beggar? Stay away from our restaurant! Don't dirty the door and spoil our guests' appetites!"
Wang Xinyao's raised foot froze in place, and an uncontrollable anger surged in her heart. She shouted, "I'm not a beggar!" She didn't look like a beggar at all, she just wore patched clothes. This guy judged people by appearance and looked down on them!
"Go away, go away..." The waiter pushed Wang Xinyao backwards mercilessly, as if he was afraid that the filth on her body would enter the store and affect the business and fortune!
Wang Xinyao felt angry and helpless, but she suppressed her anger and turned away silently. This so-called number one restaurant in the world had made the biggest mistake by rejecting her!
