ediately smiled, "Me too.""It seems we both thought of the same thing.""Do you also think that your grandfather would take Hu Ailan over while we're away"Zongyu didn't know what he was thinking, his e...Prior to this, when Fang Jinshu was in Miss Wu's room, she had already guessed what Zhao Xingzhou wanted to say by stopping her and intentionally didn't give him the chance.

He was still chasing after her, and it seemed he was genuinely interested in the medicinal herbs she had. Could this mean that the herbs in her hands were more valuable than she thought

I only asked Su Yusheng for 30,000 taels of gold last time to embarrass him. I deliberately quoted a price he could never afford.

But this time was different. She wanted to do legitimate business with the Zhao family. Without knowing the value of the medicinal herbs in her hands, whether she quoted a high or low price, it would expose that she didn't know the true value of the herbs.

The Zhao family could very likely take advantage of the situation to exploit her.

Zhao Xingzhou was indeed afraid that things would change overnight. As soon as he entered, he got straight to the point.

"Miss Su, earlier when I saw you bring out so many herbs, I wondered if you would be interested in selling some to our Zhao family."

"Rest assured, our Zhao family has always been fair in business. We will ensure the price satisfies you."

This Zhao Xingzhou came straight in, and the way he looked about wasn't going to leave without getting something from her.

Of course we're interested! We came to Luoshu City this time with the intention of making some silver.

After finishing his words, Fang Jinshi took out their travel bag and pretended to take out medicinal herbs from inside.

Actually, he pulled out a pile of herbs from the space, which were slightly higher in grade than ordinary medicinal materials. There was Poria, Ligusticum chuanxiong, and Astragalus membranaceus.

These medications are also commonly prescribed in daily practice.

Compared to those sold in ordinary pharmacies, the batch Fang Jinxiu took out was obviously of much higher quality.

Originally, Zhao Xingzhou was a little disappointed when he saw that she had only brought out these ordinary medicinal herbs. However, the housekeeper beside him, Zhao Guanjia, was slightly excited.

He tapped his young master lightly on the back, then whispered softly in his ear.

"Young master, these medicinal herbs look extraordinary. They are all of the highest quality, rarely seen in ordinary times. Keeping them would be a definite gain."

Fang Jinxiu saw that Zhao Xingzhou looked down on her. She knew he was after the few precious medicinal herbs in her hands, so she deliberately didn't take them out.

Come on, the Zhao family is the largest medicine dealer in Luoshui City. Even they are chasing after the herbs she's selling. If she doesn't figure out the price, she's going to be ripped off.

And she could be chased after like a precious treasure by the Zhao family to buy her things, so I presume there should be no shortage of discerning families in this Luo Shui City as well.

Thinking about this, Fang Jinshu decided to first use these ordinary medicinal materials to dispel the person's anger.

She was just about to say, since Young Master Zhao doesn't look down on it, she'll talk about it again when she has good goods.

He reached out to take the medicinal herbs back from the table.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xingzhou suddenly spoke up, "Wait."

"Who said that our family doesn't want these herbs anymore."

"Lady Su, name your price. I'll take all these herbs."

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. During the day, she had at least strolled around the pharmacy and seen the prices of these medicinal herbs on the table.

Prepared atractylodes, white peony, and astragalus are 300 wen per tael, with one tael equaling 5 grams. Based on the weight of a jin (about 500 grams), these three herbs would cost around three ounces of silver per jin.

In terms of medicinal herb prices, it's not very expensive. A typical prescription for a patient usually includes only about two ounces of each herb.

Since Zhao Xingzhou wanted even such medicinal herbs, it was a money-making opportunity. She had no reason to refuse.

"These herbs of mine are all top-notch quality," she mused. Three ounces for a pound, and watered with spring water—they should be worth at least five ounces a pound, right

Fang Jinshi had set a price in her mind and was just about to speak.

Zhao Xingzhou thought she was saying this to raise the price. Having learned from the previous experience of paying compensation for mental distress, he was also afraid that Fang Jinshi would make another outrageous demand. He hurriedly shouted his own price before she could speak.

"Madam Su, even the finest wares here can't compare to spiritual herbs like Reishi mushrooms and ginseng, can they"

"Look, ten taels of silver per catty, is this price about right"

Fang Jinshu was stunned. What operation was Zhao Xingzhou doing

And the apothecary An Tang sold herbs for three hundred wen a penny, he raised the price to one silver tael per penny

She still thought she had made a big profit by calling out five taels.

The couple looked at each other, Zong Yu glanced at Zhao Xingzhou across from him, his eyes full of the phrase "naive and rich".

Fang Jinshi frowned, well, well, since you want to play like this.

"But these herbs were all carefully cultivated by me, plus my unique processing techniques."

"Tsk, they're all my children."

After finishing her words, she reached out and pulled the medicinal herbs closer to herself. Zhao Xingzhou immediately panicked.d have personally told the young mistress. Perhaps the young mistress would slowly forgive him out of gratitude for his service.If one isn't enough, make a few more. The mistress of the house is tough...
