Chapter 59 Encounter with the Old Lady
"Why is Tiantian here?" Old Lady Yun looked at Tiantian running over from the backyard, and she still felt a little resentful towards her youngest son. He was so grown up, but he couldn't even take care of two children.
"Accompany grandma."
Hearing what Tiantian said, Old Lady Yun couldn't stop smiling. Her little granddaughter was so precious, but she still didn't want her granddaughter to follow her to the kitchen. After all, the kitchen smelled strong and there were some sharp objects. It would be bad if Tiantian got hurt accidentally.
Seeing that grandma didn’t want her to enter the kitchen, how could Tiantian put the spiritual spring water into the water tank?
"Grandma, Tiantian, be good." Seeing that her granddaughter wanted to go to the kitchen so much and promised that she would be a good boy, she couldn't bear to refuse her granddaughter, so she nodded and took Tiantian into the kitchen.
"How about you just sit here and watch over grandma every day?" Old Lady Yun put Tiantian far away from the stove and said to Tiantian.
Tiantian nodded obediently. The water tank was right next to her. It was really easy to get it!
She slowly poured the spiritual spring water in the space into the water tank, and soon the tank was full. She stopped and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her grandmother didn't notice her.
"Tiantian, do you want to try this and see if it tastes good?" Old Lady Yun came to Tiantian with a small bowl half filled with roe deer ginseng soup.
Tiantian opened her mouth and drank it. The original taste was just great. After finishing it, she licked the corner of her mouth in satisfaction: "It tastes good."
"As long as it tastes good." After hearing her granddaughter say it tasted good, Old Lady Yun felt relieved. After all, it was her first time making this soup and she was afraid it would not taste good. It seemed that in the future, she would have to let her second son's wife Xiangdong make such expensive things.
On the other side, Yun Tingchang had already arrived in the town. According to his mother's instructions, he went directly to Renhe Pharmacy. As soon as he arrived at the door of the pharmacy and had not yet entered, he smelled a strong scent of Chinese medicinal materials.
Yun Tingchang rubbed his nose. Although he didn't like the smell, he didn't hate it either.
"Sir, do you want to get some medicine?" An apprentice saw Yun Tingchang looking at the door, so he walked up to Yun Tingchang and asked.
"Are you collecting medicinal herbs here?" Yun Tingchang asked, covering the ginseng in his chest.
"I'm collecting herbs. Please come in, sir." The apprentice ushered Yun Tingchang into the medicine hall and poured him a cup of tea before asking, "Sir, what herbs did you bring?"
Yun Ting Changjing took out the ginseng from his arms and opened the rags to reveal the ginseng. The apprentice was shocked when he saw it. He didn't expect that this young man in simple clothes would actually take out such a precious medicinal herb. He spoke more respectfully: "Sir, please wait a moment. I will ask Doctor Liu to come and talk to you."
"Doctor Liu, a customer outside has brought a ginseng of excellent quality." As soon as the apprentice finished speaking, Doctor Liu stood up, put down the herbs in his hand and walked out. This ginseng was of good quality, which was hard to come by.
"I've never seen ginseng of such quality in all my years of practicing medicine. Do you really want to sell it?" Doctor Liu looked at the ginseng and then at Yun Tingchang, and asked uncertainly.
Yun Tingchang nodded, after all, he still had one at home.
"Doctor Liu, how much is this ginseng worth?"
"This wild ginseng is of very good quality. I usually buy one of average quality ginseng for forty taels. Your ginseng is worth this much." After saying this, Doctor Liu stretched out a finger.
"One hundred taels?" Yun Tingchang asked in shock. She knew that ginseng was very expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable. She even doubted whether she had misunderstood what Doctor Liu meant.
Doctor Liu nodded and said, "This one hundred taels is the highest price I can offer."
At this moment, an old lady came over and saw the ginseng. She said to Doctor Liu, "Doctor Liu, can you sell this ginseng?"
"Madam Zhao, this ginseng belongs to this young man."
Madam Zhao then noticed a young man standing next to Doctor Liu, so she turned to Yun Tingchang and asked, "This young man looks unfamiliar. How should I address him?"
"Madam Zhao, my last name is Yun. You can just call me the second son of the Yun family." Yun Tingchang answered respectfully.
"Second son of the Yun family, can you sell me this ginseng?" Old Madam Zhao smiled, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Then she slowly sat down next to Yun Tingchang and spoke to him gently.
"This..." Yun Tingchang looked at Doctor Liu hesitantly, feeling a dilemma. He had originally intended to sell this ginseng to Doctor Liu, but since Doctor Liu hadn't spoken yet, he didn't know whether he should agree to Old Lady Zhao's request.
Doctor Liu sensed Yun Tingchang's predicament. He knew Yun Tingchang was a man of great loyalty and loyalty, unwilling to embarrass himself. So, Doctor Liu said, "Madam Zhao, since you want this ginseng, the price cannot be lower than the one hundred taels of silver I offered you earlier."
Hearing this, a shrewd glint flashed in Old Madam Zhao's eyes, but she nodded in agreement without hesitation. Then, turning to Yun Tingchang, she said eagerly, "Second Brother Yun, I'll pay you 150 taels. Please sell me your ginseng." She stared at Yun Tingchang intently, as if afraid he would refuse.
Yun Tingchang was shocked by Mrs. Zhao's urgent attitude. He couldn't help but wonder why Mrs. Zhao needed this ginseng so urgently.
Yun Tingchang first looked at Doctor Liu and nodded to him, then said to Madam Zhao, "Okay."
The two of them quickly settled the transaction, and Mrs. Zhao left the pharmacy with the ginseng in her arms, feeling satisfied.
Yun Tingchang gave ten taels of silver to Doctor Liu. If it weren't for Doctor Liu's words, he wouldn't have been able to sell it for fifty taels of silver so easily.
But unexpectedly, Doctor Liu refused: "Second brother of the Yun family, I see that your family is also short of money, so I won't accept this money. If you dig up wild ginseng in the future, just send it to me."
Yun Tingchang thought this was a good idea, but he was not very good at speaking, so he didn't know what to say. He just stood up and bowed respectfully to Doctor Liu, saying seriously, "Thank you, Doctor Liu. If you really have any more wild ginseng, I will send it to you right away."
"That's good, that's good." Doctor Liu said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Actually, helping Yun Tingchang was just a matter of convenience. Although he also wanted to get the ginseng, he was a little short of money recently, so he did a favor and gave it to Old Madam Zhao. Thinking of Old Madam Zhao's identity, Doctor Liu said to Yun Tingchang, "Second son of the Yun family, do you know who Old Madam Zhao was just now?"
Yun Tingchang shook his head in confusion. Although he knew that Madam Zhao was of an extraordinary status just by looking at her clothes, he really didn't know who Madam Zhao was.
"She's Magistrate Pu's mother."
After hearing what Doctor Liu said, Yun Tingchang finally understood that this old lady Zhao was the mother of the county magistrate. He also heard people say before that the county magistrate respected his mother very much. If he could hook up with the county magistrate's mother, he would basically become a guest of honor of County Magistrate Pu.
Yun Tingchang thanked Dr. Liu again and planned to bring some gifts for him next time he came.
After Yun Tingchang left, the apprentice looked puzzled and asked Doctor Liu, "Master, why did you help 1?"
Doctor Liu smiled, stroked his beard, and said with emotion, "If you can help, then help. My family was also very poor when I was a child. Seeing him is like seeing myself back then."
The apprentice was still young and didn't quite understand what his master said for a moment, but he knew that the master must have his reasons for doing so, so he nodded in agreement.
Yun Tingchang, carrying this huge sum of money, felt a surge of anxiety. Along the way, he watched everyone around him warily, as if they were thieves. He clutched the silver tightly, ready to flee at the slightest sign of trouble.
The journey, which should have taken an hour, took Yun Tingchang only half an hour to reach home. Upon arrival, he couldn't wait to hand the 150 taels of silver to Old Lady Yun. Only then did his tense body finally relax.
Yun Tingchang hadn't felt tired during his intense mental state. But now, after completely relaxing, he suddenly felt his legs go weak, sore, and tired. He quickly drank a few sips of water and sat down to rest for a while.
"Mom, the water today is so sweet. I feel all my fatigue disappears after drinking it." Yun Tingchang drank all the water on the table before speaking to Old Lady Yun.
Old Lady Yun put the money into her locked wooden box and said to her son, "I think the water tastes sweeter today than usual. I thought it was just an illusion when I drank it just now. But is this ginseng so valuable? It actually sold for 150 taels."
Yun Tingchang then told his mother what happened in the town. Old Mrs. Yun then realized that her second son had met a noble person. She also told him to bring some game for Doctor Liu next time he went to the town.
