C37 – Huge Money


    Zhang Zhi felt his breathing bebored. He never imagined that his big brother, who was far away outside the capital, would actually return with Kylin Town. Although he thought this, he didn’t dare to voice it.


    Inside the house, the person he feared the most was his big brother, even more than his father.


    Zhang Zhi nced at his inept little brother and said, “If I hadn’te back, would you have ruined this medicine store of mine?” His tone was stern, and his body radiated a faint anger.


    This was his first time managing his father’s business, which held special significance for him. Yet his little brother seemed intent on damaging the store’s reputation.


    “Big Brother, I didn’t. If I said it was all Lin Yuxing who destroyed it, he…” Noticing his big brother’s stern gaze, he trailed off.


    Lin Yuxing, disregarding the tension between them, immediately walked out. The servants who had been blocking him earlier now stepped aside, recognizing the young master had arrived.


    When Zhang Zhi saw Lin Yuxing about to leave, he shouted, “Wait…” His tone now softer,cking its previous sharpness.


    Zhang Zhi smirked at the situation. It was clear that his brother treated Lin Yuxing differently, and fortunately, he was no longer living in their residence. Otherwise, his life would be unbearable.


    Lin Yuxing stopped and responded indifferently, “I wonder what orders the Eldest Young Master has?”


    “My brother in the vige is still going to sell the herbs.” His voice was indifferent.


    The young man was clearly mocking the unfair treatment he had received at the pharmacy.


    Zhang Zhi, looking awkward, immediately said, “Yu, why don’t you sell your herbs to our medicine shop? We were wrong earlier.”


    The shopkeeper, seeing the Young Master arrive and hearing his words, turned pale. They were in business to serve customers, not chase them away. As long as the Young Master didn’t expel him, he could endure anything.


    Lin Yuxingughed and shook his head, “Your medicine shop is too high-ss; it’s not suitable for us poor folk.”


    He didn’t intend to offend the Zhang Family member. Sometimes it’s better to take a step back. However, he had a low opinion of the Zhang Family and didn’t want to deal with them again. Of course, he wouldn’t reject silver. He was slightly worried that other pharmacies would undervalue his wild ginseng, so he couldn’t agree to sell it cheaply.


    “Yu, there’s no need to say that. We’re in business, and anyone who steps into our pharmacy is a guest. There are no distinctions between the poor and the rich.” His gaze at Lin Yuxing was magnanimous, without any ambiguous feelings.


    It was clear why he was sessful in the capital; he was quite capable. “Alright, in that case, I will sell the herbs here.” He wasn’t unreasonable. As for the young master of the Zhang family, he was just a spoiled child. Besides, the current situation was out of his control.


    When the young master of the Zhang family saw the other young master, he froze like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to move.


    Seeing the young master, the others lost interest, especially since it was already noon and time to eat. The pharmacy quickly quieted down. As for Lin Yuxing’s medicinal herbs, few were curious since he only soldmon herbs. Many vigers near Kylin Town acted simrly, so the prices were very low.


    “What is it? Isn’t it just…” Zhang Zhi started to say something but immediately shut his mouth when his big brother looked at him.


    Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. After all, they weren’t rted to him, so there was no point wasting his time.


    “Yu, just put the pig water somewhere else. There’s no need to keep it at the door,” Zhang Zhi said awkwardly.


    Before Lin Yuxing could reply, Zhang Zhi Xiang, standing nearby, smirked, “At least you’re sensible!”


    “Big Bro, I’m not wrong. You smelled the stench of pig water too. When customerse, won’t they think our pharmacy is to me for the smell?” Seeing his big brother’s stern look again, he quickly exined.


    He saw his elder brother frown, which likely meant he didn’t like the situation either.


    In fact, Lin Yuxing’s pig water had already been treated. Unless someone smelled it directly, there would be no odor, so it was just their psychological effect.


    I saw it, so the Young Master Zhang wouldn’t have any more excuses to bully myd. I think it’s better to keep it at the door,” Lin Yuxing said coldly.


    He wasn’t concerned about the pigs disappearing. There were still eight catties of wild boar meat left. Even if the town had good security, it was prudent to be cautious as there could still be thieves.


    Meat was a rare delicacy for the vigers; apart from the Spring Festival and special asions, ordinary people rarely ate meat. The Fun Boite shopkeeper knew that wild boar meat was usually reserved for wealthy families.


    Zhang Zhi realized the shopkeeper was mocking him, and his face turned bright red. He wanted to respond, but the shopkeeper excitedly approached Lin Yuxing.


    The shopkeeper looked eagerly at the item in the young man’s hand. “Is this… a wild ginseng?”


    Upon examining the ginseng, it seemed to have well-preserved roots, indicating it was at least fifty years old.


    Their pharmacy also had 30-year-old ginseng, but with damaged roots. The wild ginseng the young man brought was remarkably well-preserved, suggesting he had used skill in digging it up. Otherwise, how could it be so intact? Could the young man be a doctor? But he quickly dismissed this thought; if he were that skilled, he wouldn’t be a servant of the Zhang n.


    Just as Lin Yuxing was about to nod, Zhang Zhi, who was standing nearby, quickly interjected, “Innkeeper, are you seeing things? Can you not tell the difference between a radish and ginseng?”


    He found it hard to believe that Lin Yuxing could find such a pristine wild ginseng, suspecting he might have stolen it. The more he thought about it, the more usible it seemed.


    Upon hearing the young lord’s doubts, the shopkeeper’s face darkened. “Young master, I’ve been in the Zhang n for many years; please do not question my judgment.” His ability to identify medicinal herbs was beyond doubt.


    Zhang Zhi frowned, “Take the young master back.” He had hoped the other party would calm him down, but to his surprise, they still dared to cause trouble.


    “Big brother…” Zhang Zhi looked at his brother aggrievedly, then at the demeanor of his servants, and left angrily. He didn’t want to offend his brother further, in case he wasn’t taken to the capital.


    “How much is this ginseng worth?” Lin Yuxing didn’t want to waste time talking. He had just eaten a small meal in the morning and had been up since before dawn. It was already past noon, and he was really hungry.


    The shopkeeper carefully took the wild ginseng and examined it closely. After a while, he said, “Two hundred and thirty silver taels.” He had been too excited earlier; this wild ginseng was probably only forty years old, not fifty.


    Normally, a 30-year-old wild ginseng would only cost 150 taels of silver, but he had added 80 taels, which was quite fair.


    “A bit higher.” Before Lin Yuxing could speak, the usually quiet Zhang Zhi Xuan began to speak slowly.


    The shopkeeper was somewhat surprised by the young master’s actions. “Eldest Young Master, this wild ginseng is forty years old; it’s worth it. If we raise the price further, the pharmacy won’t make much profit.”


    “Just state the price.” Zhang Zhi said impatiently. What was wrong with these people today? Why couldn’t they differentiate between master and servant?


    Seeing the young master’s expression, the shopkeeper knew he was angry, so he quickly said, “Two hundred and fifty taels, this is the final offer.”


    Lin Yuxing looked at Zhang Zhi, not wanting to ept the favor, but he knew he owed him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to recover for such a long time. epting the extra twenty taels from Zhang Zhi with a clear conscience, he felt no guilt. Furthermore, he had saved the man’s life, which was worth more than twenty taels.


    “Alright.” Lin Yuxing nodded. “I also have some 3 or 7mon Blood-Stopping Medicine. Can you evaluate their worth?”


    Perhaps because the young master had intervened, the shopkeeper did not try to cheat Lin Yuxing this time. He counted all the medicinal herbs, and Lin Yuxing’s herbs were sold for two hundred and sixty silver coins. For ordinary farmers, this was more than a lifetime’s worth of earnings.


    Lin Yuxing took the silver and carefully ced it in his bosom. Fortunately, it was noon, so there were few people at the medicine store.


    Afterpleting the transactions, Lin Yuxing sighed with relief. Despite someplications, it had been a sessful day for him.


    “Yu…” Just as Lin Yuxing was about to leave with the pig meat and water, Zhang Zhi suddenly called out to him.


    Lin Yuxing smiled and replied, “Thank you for your help, Young Master.” Without his assistance, the transaction wouldn’t have been so sessful. Other pharmacies might not have dealt with his wild ginseng.


    Zhang Zhi had aplicated expression on his face and, after a long pause, asked, “Are you really not willing toe back?” From the husband’s words, he understood that Yu wasn’t willing to be his concubine, so he let them go.
