Chapter 221: Lin Yuelan and Shopkeeper Lin’s Cooperation


Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, “Young lady, you have great ambitions! That’s good!”
If shopkeeper Lin knew that Lin Yuelan wanted to be the world’s overlord, he would probably laugh at her for having ambitions and then scold her for her wishful thinking.
Then, shopkeeper Lin immediately returned to the main topic and said seriously, “Miss, this ginseng of yours is three hundred years old. If you sell it in the capital, it will be worth at least eight hundred to one thousand taels of silver. But, to tell you the truth…”
As ginseng was a great medicine, it was much more expensive than the tiger.
Shopkeeper Lin said honestly, “Although my Lin’s medicine shop is the largest medicine shop in Ning An Town, the town is still relatively small. The profits from the daily sales of my medicine shop every day can only barely sustain our daily expenses. Therefore, it’s a little difficult for me to take out 800 or 1000 taels to buy this ginseng of yours.”!!
After all, Ning An Town was a poor and small place. No matter how good the business was, there was a limit. This was especially true for luxury items like expensive medicines. In this poor town, not many people could afford it.
For example, the tiger that he had bought from Lin Yuelan could be sold to a single family in the capital easily. However, not many people could afford a whole tiger in Ning An Town. He needed to sell the tiger parts bit by bit.
He was lucky last time. A businessman from another city had bought most of the tiger. Shopkeeper Lin earned some from the sale. However, he didn’t have the money to buy Lin Yuelan’s ginseng.
Lin Yuelan also understood what shopkeeper Lin meant. She asked, “then, shopkeeper Lin, how much can you offer?”
Lin Yuelan wanted to sell the ginseng immediately.
Shopkeeper Lin furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. Then, he stretched out his hand and said, “five hundred taels!” This was the price he could offer.
However, 500 taels and 1000 taels were two completely different numbers.
After hearing this, Lin Yuelan lowered her eyes and held her chin, seemingly also in deep thought.
Although the difference between five hundred taels and one thousand taels was too great, Lin Yuelan knew that this was the most reasonable and highest price that shopkeeper Lin could offer within his ability.
When shopkeeper Lin saw Lin Yuelan’s expression, his heart jumped into his throat. He thought if he should raise the price a little more. After all, the price difference was too great.
However, what he didn’t expect was that Lin Yuelan actually nodded in agreement.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “alright, shopkeeper Lin. 500 taels it is then. But can you promise me one thing?”
Shopkeeper Lin furrowed his brows. He was a little confused. He asked, “what is it?”
Lin Yuelan said seriously, “it’s like this, shopkeeper Lin. I’m now learning medicine from a doctor in the village. In the future, I will definitely need a large number of medicinal herbs. I want to cooperate with you!”
Shopkeeper Lin was extremely surprised, but then he became angry. He pointed at Lin Yuelan and scolded, “So, were you just playing a trick on me? I actually thought you didn’t recognize ginseng!” People who studied medicine would have to learn how to identify medicinal herbs.
Without a doubt, Lin Yuelan was testing him, and this angered him.
Lin Yuelan immediately consoled him, “shopkeeper Lin, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I had to look for a loyal partner.” So the test was necessary.
When shopkeeper Lin heard this, he was even more furious.
He pointed at Lin Yuelan and said, “How dare you doubt my character? Why don’t you ask everyone in Ning An town if Lin Desan has scammed anyone?” He was angry because he was toyed with by a child.
Lin Yuelan could understand his anger, but she would still do the same thing again. She had to test people before she could trust them.
Since she was studying medicine, she planned to get involved in the field of medicine in the future. Besides, she had other purposes for cooperating with a medicine shop.
However, before that, she had to choose an honest and responsible partner who would not lie to the public.
Lin Yuelan said to shopkeeper Lin in a serious tone, “shopkeeper Lin, can we discuss this matter in the inner room?”
