Chapter 379: Know When to Quit

ly never walk the mountain path alone at night. If she were ever kidnapped, Zong Yu's first thought would be his great-uncle Zong Pingkang.They had said something like this when they came to ask for m...The quality of these herbs is not common, the superior quality and ordinary quality, the efficacy simply worlds apart.

If it's a good thing, the Zhao family wouldn't possibly miss out on it. There are more than just their family running medical clinics and pharmacies in Luoshui City. If it fell into the hands of competitors, wouldn't they suffer a huge loss

Zhao Xingzhou gritted his teeth, "Lady Su finds my price too low, you can name your price, we can discuss everything."

Zhao, the butler, was taken aback. He had indeed reminded his young master to take down those herbs just now, but wouldn't this make them appear to be following the other party's lead

Fan Jinxiu didn't hesitate and spoke directly, "Considering Young Master Zhao's sincerity..."

She paused deliberately, and Zhao the Butler became a little anxious. The Ninth Young Master had handed over the initiative to the other party. Would she make exorbitant demands

Even if the quality of these herbs on the table is excellent, they are Astragalus and White Peony, not ginseng and Reishi mushroom. If she were to call for a price of 100 or 80 taels, and the young master fell for her trap again, wouldn't they suffer a huge loss

Fang Jinshu had a pretty good idea what was going on in Zhao Butler's mind. She hadn't missed his gaze at all.

She still understood the principle of knowing when to stop. Besides, she had already made a considerable profit, completely an unexpected joy. These kinds of herbs could actually earn her so much money.

"Twelve taels of silver per jin, not a single penny less." She said in an uncompromising tone.

This is to reassure the Zhao family.

Upon hearing the price, Zhao Butler finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Good, good, good! Twelve ounces per jin!" He hurriedly agreed before his young master, Zhao Xingzhou feeling displeased.

Fang Jinshu was too lazy to care about the Zhao family's affairs, she didn't care who was in charge, as long as they paid her.

The deal was struck like that. Zong Yu remained seemingly expressionless, but inside, his heart was in turmoil.

Twelve taels of silver per catty

He couldn't even make this much money by hunting a small deer and selling it, but his wife earned this much just with this batch of medicinal herbs.

No one knows better than Zongyu how many pounds of such medicinal herbs are in Fang Jinxiu's space. He and his wife dug them back from the mountain little by little.

The little medicine field of the daughter-in-law also planted many kinds, besides these few herbs, there are many others.

She always said to be prepared for anything, harvesting herbs as soon as they matured, drying them in the sun, and processing them into medicinal materials. Whenever her family had free time, they would all help her with it.

Zhong Yu was truly surprised. The medicinal herbs dug up on this mountain looked like weeds when he saw them. But in his daughter-in-law's hands, they were transformed into something so valuable when taken outside.

Then Zhao Xingzhou began to discuss the quantities with Fang Jinshi, asking her how many grams of each type of herb she had on hand.

She had over a hundred pounds of such herbs in her space, but she couldn't take them out directly. She made an excuse saying that all the goods were at Li's house.

I will have all the herbs brought over tomorrow for them to inspect. If the quality is good, we'll pay then.

This also conveniently gave her an excuse to leave Zhao's house tomorrow.

At night, the couple lay in bed. Fang Jinshi was thinking about buying the wasteland, and she wondered if Tie Zhu had figured out why the county magistrate refused to sell it to them.

However, she surmised that the relationships within this place were somehow related to the drought.

She sold 100 jin of medicinal herbs to the Zhao family, earning a total of 1,200 taels. If her mother-in-law and Jade Lotus knew about it, they would be overjoyed.

So much silver.

Fang Jinshi remained remarkably calm. She knew that this sum of money was far from enough to buy wasteland, and with the unknown factor of the county magistrate still looming, she needed to secure more funds.

Zong Yu saw that his new wife hadn't fallen asleep, so he turned over and touched her cheek.

"Sleep now."

Fang Jinxiu nodded and snuggled into her husband's arms, falling asleep with an extra sense of security. She closed her eyes quickly and drifted off to sleep.

Zong Yu had been staring blankly at the canopy above his bed, his face emotionless.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from outside their door. It was very faint, but Zong Yu's ears caught it. He immediately sat up and looked over.

He got up slowly and gently, not forgetting to cover Fang Jinshu, who was asleep, with the blanket.

People outside thought they were being very stealthy. They approached the window beside the couple's bed and carefully punctured a small hole in the paper with a thin stick, then inserted a slender bamboo tube.ckered, and she had a plan in mind.The Wu family, originally screaming and scolding each other while cleaning themselves up, suddenly stopped their actions upon hearing Fang Jinshu say she wouldn't gi...
