Being able to say such a thing was enough to prove that Shopkeeper Yu was open-minded. This made Lin Jingyou and the others even more satisfied with him.

In fact, Shen Wanning hadn't expected the ginseng to fetch 80 taels. Netizens told her that after checking local prices, they estimated the ginseng could fetch a maximum of 60 taels, which was 20 taels more than they had guessed.

Netizens in the live broadcast room clamored for Shen Wanning to sell it quickly, praising the shopkeeper Yu as an honest man.

After the two of them left the Mercy Hall, Lin Jingyou pulled Shen Wanning aside and whispered, "This Shopkeeper Yu seems to be an honest man. I guess he's telling the truth. This eighty taels is the most he can offer."

Shen Wanning nodded in agreement, "I think so too. But we have plenty of time, so why not go to another pharmacy and ask? It won't take much time."

Lin Jingyou nodded, and the two of them came to the last pharmacy. This pharmacy offered fifty-five taels, which was much less than the price offered by Shopkeeper Yu.

Finally, the two returned to the Mercy Hall, only to find Shopkeeper Yu sitting in the lobby, waiting for them with a smile. "I knew you two would come back, so I've been waiting here. Come on, let's go inside!"

After saying this, he signaled the waiter with his eyes, and the waiter followed them to the inner hall. After a while, the waiter took out eight large silver ingots.

Lin Jingyou took out the ginseng and handed it to the shopkeeper Yu. The clerk also handed the silver ingot to Lin Jingyou, who turned around and handed it to Shen Wanning.

This scene made Shopkeeper Yu take a second look at the two of them. They were a talented couple, and the man doted on his wife. They were truly rare!

"Thank you, Manager Yu. We'll leave first." Lin Jingyou naturally took Shen Wanning's wrist.

Before leaving, Shen Wanning asked, "If there are other medicinal herbs in the future, will the Mercy Hall accept them?"

"Of course we will. Not only that, the price my charity gives us is absolutely fair." Shopkeeper Yu promised solemnly.

"Thank you very much, Manager Yu." Shen Wanning lowered her head and smiled, then left with Lin Jingyou.

After the two men left, the waiter stood on tiptoe and looked at their backs. "Master, we can get that ginseng for at most 60 taels. Why did you ask for 20 taels more?"

Shopkeeper Yu smiled and tapped his head, "Mr. Lin is very elegant and speaks with discretion. His future is definitely limitless.

We'll consider this twenty taels as a good deal for them. Besides, if they need medicinal herbs again in the future, they'll definitely choose our Mercy Hall first. From what the young lady said, this won't be the last time."

"Oh, Master is so smart!" The guy scratched his head, not quite understanding!

Shopkeeper Yu picked up the account book on the table and knocked on his head, "You! You still have a lot to learn!"

Shen Wanning glanced at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock. She hadn't felt hungry while talking about business just now, but as soon as she left the pharmacy, she immediately felt starving.

"Are you hungry, Third Brother? Why don't we find a place to sit and eat something?"

"Sister Wanning, what would you like to eat?" Lin Jingyou still looked at Shen Wanning beside him with a smile.

Shen Wanning counted on her fingers, "I want to eat meat buns, wontons, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the pastry shop."

"Okay, Sister Wan Ning, go sit in the wonton shop first and order two bowls of wontons. I'll go buy some meat buns and osmanthus cake." Lin Jingyou helped Shen Wan Ning sit on the chair in the wonton shop.

"Hey, third brother, wait a minute." Shen Wanning took out the purse that Aunt Zhang gave her in the morning from the express station and put it in Lin Jingyou's hand.

In addition to the two hundred copper coins given to her by Aunt Zhang, Shen Wanning also put a silver ingot in it.

Lin Jingyou took the purse and realized the weight was wrong, so he immediately tried to push it back. However, Shen Wanning said, "The money is mine. If I say I want to buy something, then of course I have to use my money to buy it."

At the time in the medicine shop, Lin Jingyou gave her all the money, and she could see what Lin Jingyou was thinking. Lin Jingyou thought that the ginseng was discovered by her, and the money from the sale was naturally hers, so she said that on purpose, otherwise Lin Jingyou would not accept the money.

While Lin Jingyou was gone, Shen Wanning went to a nearby jewelry shop and picked out a silver crane bracelet and two plain silver hairpins. The total was seven taels and forty-three wen, and the shopkeeper rounded off the difference for her, bringing the total to seven taels.

Seeing Lin Jingyou still queuing at the pastry shop, Shen Wanning went to the bookstore nearby and bought a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, spending another six taels in total.

She threw all these into the space, and then found an opportunity to secretly put them into the backpack after returning.

After she finished buying these things, Lin Jingyou came back with two meat buns and a bag of osmanthus cake. After he sat down, the waiter brought two bowls of wontons and placed them on the table.

"Sister Wan Ning, eat quickly!" Lin Jingyou handed her the bun.

"Hey, Third Brother, don't you want to eat?"

"One bowl of wontons is enough for me, Sister Wan Ning, eat it while it's hot!"

Shen Wanning was eating buns while Lin Jingyou was eating wontons with his head down. A white hand handed him a bun wrapped in oil paper.

"I can't eat anymore, let Third Brother have this bun!"

Lin Jingyou was surprised for a moment, but soon realized Shen Wanning's intention. He smiled, took the bun, and deliberately teased Shen Wanning, "Then I'll wrap it up. Sister Wanning can eat it tonight!"

Shen Wanning was anxious. "Third brother, please eat quickly. I don't like cold buns. Besides, this one bun won't be enough to share!"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it. Don't worry, Sister Wan Ning." After saying that, Lin Jingyou started to eat it. He felt sweet in his heart and felt that this bun was more delicious than anything he had eaten before.

After dinner, Wan Ning rushed to pay the bill. She had a lot of copper coins in her space that she hadn't spent yet, and it wasn't convenient to exchange them for silver right now, so she spent as much as she could. She had just spent over three thousand on other things, and the remaining ten taels were silver ingots.

"Sister Wan Ning, do you have anything else to buy? Why don't we go back after we finish shopping?"

Shen Wanning shook her head. "Everything you want to buy is sold in town. Let's buy it when we get back to town. It's not convenient to carry it in the carriage."

The two had just arrived at the carriage and were about to get in when Lin Jingyou thought of something. He whispered in Shen Wanning's ear, "Sister Wanning, get in first. I'm going to buy some things and will be back soon."

Shen Wanning guessed it might be something related to reading, after all, there were not many books in the town. She didn't think much about it and nodded, "Okay, Third Brother, go ahead!"

Not long after he left, Lin Jingyou came back. This time, his backpack was half full of things, covered with the cloth that contained ginseng. Shen Wanning couldn't see clearly what was in it.

The carriage on the way back was much smaller, with only four people in total, including the two of them. The people opposite looked like a couple who had come to the county to sell some things, carrying a shoulder pole and two baskets.

There was still half a basket of wild fruits left in one of the baskets, but Shen Wanning had never seen this kind of wild fruit before and didn't know what it was called.
