Chapter 12 Selling Ginseng, the Shocked Brother and Sister
Yu Banxia raised an eyebrow. It seemed this shop was indeed quite good; no wonder it had such a good reputation.
The three siblings were dressed plainly, and the shopkeeper did not look down on them at all. Yu Banxia's goodwill towards Huichun Pavilion instantly increased.
Upon entering the inner room, Yu Banxia took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth from Yu Mancang's basket.
The ginseng was still covered in mud, and its roots were clearly visible, making it grow so perfectly.
The guy, who had been nonchalant, widened his eyes instantly when he saw what was wrapped in the cloth.
Wild ginseng that's over a hundred years old?!
No wonder they came inside to speak; if this thing were opened outside, word would get out very quickly.
The old lady of the Mo family in the south of the city is now counting on a ginseng root to save her life. If this gets out, it will be hard to say whose ginseng it is.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. This item is too valuable for me to make a decision on. I will go and call the shopkeeper over right away."
As he spoke, the waiter ran out, and soon another waiter came in and served tea and snacks.
Yu Banxia noticed that when the waiter came in, his eyes didn't wander around at all.
After putting down the tea and snacks, they went straight out. Yu Mancang and the other person were a little awkward, while Yu Banxia picked up the teacup and elegantly tasted it.
He raised an eyebrow slightly; it was indeed a top-quality pre-rain Longjing tea.
"Haha, my three young friends, I've kept you waiting." A middle-aged man walked in with a smile, first looking the three of them over.
Finally, his gaze fell on Yu Banxia, who was calmly drinking tea, and he didn't stare at the young girl for a long time.
They quickly turned their attention to the ginseng root.
“Miss, I am Zhao Zhongxian, the manager of Huichun Pavilion. May I take a closer look?” The manager clasped his hands in a fist and bowed as he introduced himself to Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia gestured for him to continue drinking his tea.
Zhao Zhongxian held the ginseng in his hand and examined it carefully before finally putting it down with satisfaction.
"Young lady, how many taels of ginseng do you plan to buy?"
When Yu Banxia saw him ask a question, she simply held up two fingers.
Yu Mancang looked excitedly at Yu Banyue. This ginseng could actually sell for twenty taels of silver.
Zhao Zhongxian chuckled and nodded: "The price you ask for is reasonable, young lady. This ginseng is of such high quality and has been cut perfectly. Are you an expert in pharmacology, young lady?"
I know a little bit, but I'm not very good at it.
"Otherwise, I would have prepared it before bringing it here, and then it wouldn't have cost two hundred taels."
Upon hearing Yu Banxia's words, Yu Mancang and his sister were completely stunned. How much?!
Two hundred taels!
The two were stunned by the enormous number, so surprised that they didn't know what to do with their hands and feet.
"Haha, it seems that the young lady does indeed understand medicine and pharmacology."
"Indeed, if this ginseng is processed, it will not be something that can be bought for two hundred taels."
"Then I will take this ginseng. If you have any other medicinal herbs later, you are welcome to sell them here. You are always welcome to come."
Zhao Zhongxian laughed heartily, knowing that his master would be very happy to have such a ginseng.
"Give me thirty taels of loose silver, and the rest ten taels of silver ingots. Can you do that?" Yu Banxia asked Zhao Zhongxian.
Zhao Zhongxian was taken aback at first, thinking that it was unsafe to carry so much silver on his person, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
He called a clerk to go to the money exchange to withdraw money, while he sat down and talked with the Yu siblings.
Yu Mancang was a little flustered and spoke haltingly.
Unable to bear seeing her older siblings feeling awkward, Yu Banxia started talking to Zhao Zhongxian.
In no time, the two had become quite congenial, and Yu Mancang finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea.
Ugh, this tastes so bitter.
I saw my sister drinking it so happily, I thought it must be really delicious.
"This pre-rain Longjing tea is quite good, with a sweet aftertaste." Somehow the conversation turned to tea, and Yu Banxia, holding her teacup, said to Zhao Zhongxian.
Zhao Zhongxian chuckled and said, "I never imagined that such a small place as Yunshan Town would hide such a wise and intelligent woman. If you were a man, you would surely achieve great things."
"Oh, does the shopkeeper think that women don't deserve a piece of sky?" Yu Banxia put down her teacup and raised an eyebrow at Zhao Zhongxian.
Zhao Zhongxian was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "That's true, our Southern Jin Kingdom also has female officials."
"This young lady is very knowledgeable, well-versed in medicine and pharmacology, and even has a high level of academic knowledge. She is also knowledgeable in the art of tea, which I truly admire."
"Manager Zhao is also very good," Yu Banxia replied with a smile.
Zhao Zhongxian laughed heartily, growing increasingly fond of the girl.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive, young lady." Zhao Zhongxian called over a waiter and filled a jar with tea for her.
Yu Banxia accepted the gift without hesitation and thanked her.
"Then thank you very much, Manager Zhao. I also have a kind of tea, not a famous one, but it is very rare. It is called Yunding Wucha. When my third brother comes to town again next time, I will definitely ask him to bring you some."
Zhao Zhongxian was somewhat curious, and said with a smile and a bow, "Then I'll wait for you, young friend."
"Hmm." Yu Banxia raised an eyebrow, then looked towards the door.
Zhao Zhongxian looked over curiously, and soon he heard footsteps and followed a shop assistant in.
Zhao Zhongxian followed her example, raising an eyebrow. This girl has good hearing, or is she a martial arts expert?
Actually, it was Xiaobai who reminded Yu Banxia that made her realize this.
"Miss, here is the amount of silver you requested. Please check if the amount is correct." The waiter placed the silver on the table and thoughtfully included a small scale.
Yu Mancang stepped forward, and Yu Banyue helped from the side.
After weighing the money, he nodded to Yu Banxia, then bowed to Zhao Zhongxian and said, "Manager Zhao, the amount of money is correct."
"In that case, the transaction is complete," Zhao Zhongxian returned the greeting with a smile.
Yu Banxia also stood up from her seat and gave Zhao Zhongxian a slight curtsy.
The three siblings left the inner room and went straight out of the pharmacy.
Zhao Zhongxian pushed open the window of the inner room, looked at the three siblings who were laughing and talking as they left, and said with a light laugh, "Interesting. Although that girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, her every move exuded nobility and good manners."
"This Yunshan Town has produced such a talented woman."
Yu Banxia reached into the basket on his back, and Yu Mancang clearly felt the basket become lighter, and he knew what was going on.
The reason she asked for silver coins was that Xiao Bai said that she could now take out some small items from the space. After Yu Banxia asked if silver coins could be put in, she asked for both silver coins and cash.
This will make things easier in the future, since they don't live in town and banknotes are ultimately not very convenient.
"Where do we go now?" Yu Mancang was very excited.
With money in the family, the nephew can go to school, and the sister-in-law will stop being sarcastic and mean to her younger sister.
"I'm going to buy some things to take back. I need to make some soy sauce, and then I need to buy some food, like rice and noodles."
Hearing Yu Banxia say this, Yu Mancang and his sister didn't think it was a problem, after all, it was money she earned.
