Chapter 2635: Mission 21

“The dragon root may not be old, but it’s rarer. I’ll offer you the same price as the ginseng, two hundred taels,” Gu Chaoyan declared.

Shopkeeper Lin observed her and then nodded, recognizing her sincerity. This girl was straightforward—fair in her dealings, not inclined to take advantage of others.

“Alright, I’ll take these. Even though your father is no longer with us, things will continue as they did in the past. Aside from these items, as long as the quality of the other herbs you cultivate is acceptable, I’ll continue to purchase them. How does that sound?” Shopkeeper Lin proposed.

This was precisely what Gu Chaoyan had hoped for. With five acres of herbal fields at home, renting them out could still yield herbs. Bringing them to the Lin Family’s medicine shop would be the ideal outcome.

The three ginsengs and the five-baht dragon root amounted to a total of 1,600 taels of silver. Of this sum, 1,000 taels were in banknotes, and the remaining 600 taels were in silver. This arrangement provided both convenience in storage and practicality in use.

Shopkeeper Lin, with his extensive experience, handled matters meticulously, even in seemingly small transactions.

Before leaving, Gu Chaoyan also asked Shopkeeper Lin to keep an eye out for any available yards or shops in the city. She harbored the intention of purchasing one.

The North Village environment wasn’t conducive for the Yan family’s third branch, and moving out gradually would be a better option for Ms. w.a.n.g and her two younger sisters.

This led Gu Chaoyan to consider the idea of purchasing a yard and a shop.

Shopkeeper Lin naturally grasped her intention.

Having received a considerable sum of money, the most practical move was to invest in these city properties. He admired such a practical approach.

So, he readily agreed.

After leaving the Lin Family’s medicine shop, Gu Chaoyan proceeded to the street to make some purchases.

Observing her departure, Shopkeeper Lin hastily picked up the ginseng and dragon root and headed to the backyard.

“Young Master, take a look,” Shopkeeper Lin exclaimed with excitement.

The young man in the room glanced over.

Initially indifferent, he showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the items.

“Well…”

“Miss Yan Danqiu sent them over. She mentioned having more goods. Young Master, are you satisfied with this batch?” Shopkeeper Lin inquired joyfully.

“Very good. Keep a close eye on her. Ensure everything is in our favor. Additionally, find out how she acquired these items,” the young man directed, his tone revealing a sense of satisfaction.

“Yes,” Shopkeeper Lin replied solemnly before placing the items and leaving.

Shopkeeper Lin’s good mood persisted.

With these items, the Young Master’s health would likely see improvement.

The Lin Family had no shortage of funds for such necessities.

Having also located the shop and yard, Shopkeeper Lin felt content. If she possessed such a substantial inventory, it would be advantageous if she could establish a connection with the Lin Family, enjoying the benefits of proximity.

Even if she didn’t, Shopkeeper Lin needed to strategize on production.

Unaware of Shopkeeper Lin’s thoughts, Gu Chaoyan, strolling around, contemplated what items she should bring back.
