Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 36: Medicinal Herbs were Taken by Others
What mattered most was that she only needed one pill. With so many left, it wasn’t easy to sell them.
"666, can I use other years’ ginseng instead of this one?" Su Yijia asked with a heavy heart.
[Host, you’re being too stingy.] 666 couldn’t help but comment.
"Can you blame me? 3,500 yuan is a significant amount in this era. Don’t you understand that?" Su Yijia argued. She had thought that the dowry from Uncle Xia, along with Qin Kaize’s allowance, was already substantial. Who knew these items would cost so much? This amount would make her feel guilty when facing Qin Kaize and Uncle Xia, even if they were unaware of her spending.
[I’m sorry, but it’s not possible to replace it.] 666 sighed in resignation.
Hearing this, Su Yijia felt as if all her spirit had been drained, and she slumped down.
"Comrade, what’s wrong? Are you okay?" Yu Qiancheng asked nervously.
"It’s okay, I just feel a bit disheartened," Su Yijia shook her head and forced a smile, "Please wait for me here. I’m going to the bank to withdraw some money, and I’ll be right back. Make sure you keep the ginseng and He Shou Wu for me."
"Sure! After you leave our medicine shop, turn left, pass through an intersection, and walk past two shops. You’ll see the bank not far from there," Yu Qiancheng informed her. He was relieved that she was determined to make the purchase.
Su Yijia quickly left the medicine shop. However, as soon as she exited, someone began following her.
Not only was someone following her, but a burly man also entered the medicine shop.
When Yu Qiancheng saw the man, he became alert, although he knew the man wasn’t someone to mess with. He had no choice but to approach him.
But the man was swift and blocked him in front of the counter.
"Comrade, what would you like to buy?" Yu Qiancheng tried to make his voice sound less shaky, but he ultimately failed.
"What did that young lady just now want to buy?" The man deliberately lowered his voice, making it audible only to the two of them.
"A 300-year-old ginseng and a 100-year-old polygonum multiflorum," Yu Qiancheng didn’t dare to conceal the information and admitted it shamelessly.
The man furrowed his brows tightly, "How much, I’ll buy it."
"No, I promised to sell it to her," Yu Qiancheng refused instinctively.
However, the items placed on the table terrified him, and he was about to lose his soul. He swallowed hard and said quietly, "The total for both items is 1,800 yuan."
"Are you robbing?" The man immediately became angry.
Yu Qiancheng shivered and repeatedly shook his head like a bobblehead, "No, no! These items are priceless and can’t be easily found. My pricing is sincere; I’m not overcharging." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Hearing the words "priceless," the man’s icy expression softened slightly.
He took out two small golden fishes from his pocket.
"Here are 100 grams. The bank charges 27 yuan per gram. You’re guaranteed to make a profit. Hurry up and give me those two items," the man urged impatiently.
Even though Yu Qiancheng was scared out of his wits, he still handed over the polygonum multiflorum and ginseng when he confirmed that the golden fishes were real.
