First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Two Hundred Taels of Silver, we have Money now

Lu Jiao was speechless as she watched Xie Lan walk by.

What an odd statement to make. Why wasn’t she over there taking care of her brother?

Behind her, Xie Xiaojun came up to comfort Lu Jiao, “Don’t mind them. They’re not good people.”

She didn’t like those two women. Every day, one of them pretended to be fragile and weak while the other thought of herself as a rich princess when she was actually dumb and ugly.

Even Xie Xiaojun couldn’t find the right words to describe them.

Lu Jiao shook her head, “Yeah, they’re unreasonable. No reason to talk to them.”

The two of them chatted and strolled. Xie Xiaojun asked Lu Jiao, “Would it be okay if I come over sometimes to hang out with you?”

Xie Xiaojun was a little bit anxious. All the villagers thought of her as a cursed woman who brought calamity onto men. Though they would never say that in front of her face, they kept their distance. Because of that, she was afraid to go out these days.

Lu Jiao didn’t mind her at all. She never believed in those superstitions.

“Of course.”

Xie Xiaojun’s eyes brightened, “Alright, then I will hang out with you when I’m free.”

The two then separated as Xie Xiaojun needed to sell eggs and buy salt, while Lu Jiao wanted to go to Baohe Tang.

Lu Jiao checked out the town as she strolled. The town wasn’t too big but it was rather populated.

Other than the vendors with shops set up, there were lots of street vendors laid out all over. There were lots of villages around this town and nobody who lived around here was too well off.

Therefore, people were inclined to sell anything worthy they have at home. This made this town rather clamorous with different people selling all sorts of things.

Lu Jiao didn’t waste time and headed straight to Baohe Tang.

Not a lot of people were there at the moment. Medicine was expensive and therefore, lots of people simply endured and some even asked for a shaman.

Inside the store, the appearance of Lu Jiao invited much excitement.

“Lady, what are you looking for?”

Lu Jiao glanced at the worker and asked, “Where’s Doctor Zhou?”

Doctor Zhou was the doctor who tended to Xie Yunjin before.

The worker smiled, “Doctor Zhou is old in age and has retired.”

The reality was that Doctor Zhou took side jobs in secret and was caught so Baohe Tang fired him. Of course, nobody here would tell that to people.

He looked at Lu Jiao and continued to smile, “Lady, are you looking for Doctor Zhou to get a diagnosis? We recently hired an amazing doctor from the Capital City. If you want to see a doctor, you can ask for Doctor Qi.”

Lu Jiao didn’t persist in seeing Doctor Zhou. She was here to sell her ganoderma. As for Xie Yunjin’s medicine, she still had the prescription from Doctor Zhou.

“I’m here to sell medicinal herbs. I wonder if you are willing to buy it?”

Lu Jiao tilted her body to show him her basket. The worker didn’t grow rude right away when he heard that she wasn’t here to buy.

“We do buy those. I wonder what you are selling?”

Lu Jiao glanced around and then whispered, “I’m selling a 50-year-old ganoderma.”

The worker was surprised. He took a look at Lu Jiao and then said, “Please wait a second. I will go to the back and get the manager.”

Fifty-year-old ganoderma was extremely rare and was very expensive. There was no way he could make the final call.

Lu Jiao waited outside. Baohe Tang has been established for a long time and was a big shop. The variety of medicine there was also satisfactory.

Lu Jiao remembered how she wanted to buy peppercorn and star anise. According to ancient literature, those ingredients were considered medicinal. She wondered if this shop had it.

As she thought that, she walked to the counter and looked carefully. However, each little drawer was labeled with traditional writing and she didn’t recognize those characters.

Though not a lot of people were inside the store, every one of them checked her out in secret. She was just so fat. During a difficult era like this, most people were skinny and jaundiced.

Lu Jiao, on the other hand, was nourished and full of fat. She naturally attracted so much attention.

However, Lu Jiao was collected and not at all insecure.

The worker came out very soon, “Lady, the manager asked to see you in the back.”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow but she wasn’t afraid of the manager pulling up any tricks. She was strong, had medical knowledge, and had tools in space. So she wasn’t worried.

In front of Baohe Tang were four different vendors and there was a large yard in the back. Lots of medicinal herbs were being dried in the yard and there were some people combining medicine. At the very back, there was a small building with a resting area. Three people sat there, chatting.

Lu Jiao walked over and the three of them all turned their heads toward her.

The first person was a kind-looking middle-aged man wearing a gray long robe. The other two were good-looking young men, one appeared very friendly and happy, while the other appeared more aloof and seemingly from a wealthier tribe. It was obvious that the last guy was no ordinary person.

Before Lu Jiao could speak, the aloof man standing in the middle spoke up calmly, “You are selling a 50-year-old ganoderma?”

Lu Jiao nodded. She put down the basket and took out the ganoderma to place them on the table. contemporary romance

The kind-looking young man checked it out and quickly turned to look at the others happily.

“Ling Feng, this truly is a 50 year old ganoderma. It’s also of the highest quality. This sure is a rare find.”

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and checked out Lu Jiao from a distance, “How much silver do you want for this?”

Lu Jiao wasn’t familiar with the value of ganoderma but knew that they weren’t cheap. So she said, “You guys can make me an offer. But if the offer is not a good one, I will go to a different town to sell it.”

Ling Feng’s eyes darkened. He didn’t expect this woman to be tactful. However, it wasn’t that he planned on conning her. Fifty-year-old ganoderma was difficult to find so he didn’t want to scam her.

“How about 200 taels of silver? Even if you sell this in a big city, you won’t get an offer like this. Of course, if you go to the Capital City, you may get a different price.”

Lu Jiao thought about it and found the offer to be reasonable. She didn’t have the time to travel all the way to the Capital City.

“Alright, then let’s settle on that price. I have some other herbs as well. You can count those.”

Ling Feng nodded and said to the middle-aged man, “Manager Li, go cash her out.”

“Yes, sir.”

Manager Li walked Lu Jiao out. Even after some time, Lu Jiao could still hear the excited sounds from behind her.

“This ganoderma appears the highest quality. It must be far more effective than normal herbs.”

Lu Jiao’s lips curled up. This ganoderma was from her space, how could it be of poor quality? It’s been nourished by spiritual energy for such a long time. If she didn’t need money, she wouldn’t have sold it. At least the price the man offered was reasonable.
