Chapter 112: The Price Is Not Bad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“If it was a year old large piece of Kudzu roots, it could be sold for three copper coins per catty.”

Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows. If he kept buying, that might not be the case. After all, Kudzu roots were easy to grow. If she sold more, the price would probably go down.

Of course, the medicine shop would definitely collect the Kudzu roots. At most, the medicine shop would not collect much later.

The root could be ground into powder, so just this point alone made it worth a lot.

Ye Muyu did not say anything else after asking. After a while, the apprentice confirmed the weight.

There were a total of 15 catties of Kudzu roots. With 6 copper coins per catty, it would be 90 wen. The thin Kudzu roots were only 3 to 4 catties. It was not considered a loss to sell it for 8 wen.

She could buy four meat buns.

One had to know that in Chu Xing’s eyes, those thin roots were like weeds. Even weeds could be sold for money, and he would definitely make a profit.

He did not know much about Solomon’s Seal and Wild Fan flower and fruit, but he thought that they were definitely rarer than the Kudzu roots.

Ye Muyu put away the six taels of silver and 578 copper coins before asking, “Doctor Lu, I’ll have to trouble you for a moment. Do you have any young ginger in your shop?”

“Young ginger?” Doctor Lu did not know what Ye Muyu wanted to do, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He just replied politely, “Right now, the shop only has the old ginger that has been woven. As for the young ginger, we will have to wait until the next time the herb farmer comes to sell the herbs.” When Ye Muyu heard this, she felt that there was a chance.

Her eyes lit up and he smiled. “Then, if you receive any young ginger in the future, it would be best if its leaves are still intact. Just leave two or three catties for me.”

“May I know why you want to buy the young ginger?” Doctor Lu asked as usual. It was also because ginger had the effect of driving away the cold and would not kill people that he agreed to sell it.

Ye Muyu did not hide anything. “I want to try planting it. It can be used to ward off the cold in winter. I don’t have to spend too much money.”

Doctor Lu blinked his eyes and thought of something. He suddenly smiled and said, “Madam, if you can grow it, it will be a merit.”

“I’m just a layman, it’s only beneficial to me. Doctor Lu, there’s no need to praise me.” Ye Muyu knew what she should say. She did not regard this as a righteous act. It was not that she was arrogant. On the contrary, she did not think that planting ginger was a great merit at all.

“You’re a kind person.” Doctor Lu seemed to have thought of something and smiled.

Ye Muyu  did not know what Doctor Lu meant, but his words were too nice. Ye Muyu was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she quickly left.

She came out of the medicine shop.

Madam Zhang took the lead to welcome him with a smile on her face, “Seeing that the medicinal herbs in Third Sister-in-law’s basket are gone, it seems that there’s good news.”

It had to be said that although Madam Zhang was an ordinary country bumpkin, she was very meticulous.

Ye Muyu nodded lightly. When Madam Liu approached, she said, “I sold them. The price is not bad. The aged Kudzu roots are 6 copper coins per catty, and the poor ones are 2 copper coins per catty. The Wild Fan flowers and fruits are 50 copper coins per catty. The Solomon’s Seal is more expensive, two taels of silver per catty.”

Madam Zhang and Madam Liu were very happy to see that it was sold.

However, they did not expect it to be sold at such a high price.

For a moment, their mouths were wide open in surprise and they were speechless for a long time.

Chu Qingxiang also cried out in surprise. Afraid of arousing any objections, she quickly covered her mouth.

Madam Liu was the first to react. “This is really good news. Who would have thought that the wild grass and vines that everyone despised could be sold for money?”

Madam Zhang’s heart was beating very fast. “Mother, when we go back, let’s go to the hillside to take a look. We might be able to find these herbs. It’s all thanks to Third Sister-in-law..”
