Chapter 510 Real and Fake Medicinal Herbs
"Are these ginseng and lingzhi?"

The shopkeeper couldn't believe it until Su Xiaoxiao brought out the treasure, and then he believed that what he saw was indeed real.

When he saw Su Xiaoxiao behind Prince Gong, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He recognized her at a glance. What was she doing there? "Ms. Su, it's an honor to have you here. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed and quickly stepped out from behind Prince Gong.

"Mr. Li, it's been a long time."

"Did you bring all these Ganoderma lucidum? You know what, they're genuine."

The shopkeeper was grinning from ear to ear, and just as he was having a good time, Liu Mang, who was standing next to him, started to get impatient.

"Hey, shopkeeper, hurry up and name a price. How much are these two medicinal herbs worth if we can sell them?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback by the sudden appearance of such an impolite fellow, and felt somewhat uneasy.

However, upon turning around and seeing such precious medicinal herbs, he was immediately filled with emotion.

Perhaps these good things were a gift from heaven to him. He carefully picked up these good things, and even holding them in his hands, he felt that they were a little heavy.

"Wow, this is truly the first time I've seen such high-quality ginseng and lingzhi in all my years in this industry. I'm so excited!"

As the shopkeeper was speaking, he suddenly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand. "Thank you for your patronage, Boss Su. Now that we're friends, you don't need to worry about the money. Just name your price!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Gong's face lit up with a smile. He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao, his smug expression seemingly saying, "See? He's a businessman. If you hadn't come here to deliver such precious medicinal herbs to him, he would have felt like he was losing out!"

Prince Gong knew that Su Xiaoxiao had a small face, so he was too embarrassed to ask for a price.

He immediately set the price: "Five hundred taels."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Thinking to himself that this person really dared to ask for a high price, he naturally refrained from looking at Su Xiaoxiao, wanting to know what she thought. However, he saw that Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk at all, as if she was ready to hand over all the decision-making power to her friend in front of her.

Su Xiaoxiao neither nodded nor denied it.

However, she gently nudged Prince Gong from behind, then whispered almost in his ear, "Is it really that much money? That's five hundred taels. Actually, we could say..."

Prince Gong glared at Su Xiaoxiao with a look of exasperation, thinking to himself, "Su Xiaoxiao, why are you so spineless? Even at this price, the shop owner can still make a profit."

Don't say you don't believe it, this is still quite speechless. To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao doesn't even know if what she thought just now was correct.

She felt a pang of guilt, but in the end she managed to shut her mouth.

He didn't object when he saw Su Xiaoxiao, but instead gave her a smile. The implication was clear: that's the right way; just listen to me, you can't go wrong!
After thinking about it for a moment, Mr. Li immediately made the decision.

"Alright, then five hundred taels, not a penny more, not a penny less."

Mr. Li decided to take the ginseng and lingzhi. Upon hearing this, Prince Gong said, "Alright then, since Mr. Li is so agreeable, let's settle on a fixed price."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised at how easily the matter was handled; things had been settled so quickly.

She noticed that Prince Gong looked exceptionally handsome today, even exuding an ethereal aura. He was looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Oh no, this is the feeling of being smitten!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Mang immediately stepped in front of the two and said, "That's wonderful! Congratulations, Miss Su." At that moment, Liu Mang felt utterly inadequate standing in front of Su Xiaoxiao, and for a moment, he felt that none of this was real.

At this moment, a young man stepped out from the crowd and came to Manager Li's counter. He was truly arrogant and rude.

"I want this. I'll pay a thousand taels of silver."

Su Xiaoxiao and Prince Gong were all startled, thinking, "Who is this? So unreasonable!"

Everyone saw that this young man was very handsome, and just by looking at his face, they could tell that he was no ordinary person.

But the face is unfamiliar; I don't think I know it.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward to stop this guy's unreasonable behavior, "Sorry, I've already sold these medicinal herbs to Mr. Li of Ci'an Hall. You'd better go somewhere cool."

Su Xiaoxiao is right. She wouldn't throw the word "sincerity" away just for money.

There's a first-come, first-served principle in business, isn't there?

Four attendants appeared directly behind the young master, carrying a heavy box of silver to Su Xiaoxiao.

A layer of dust was splattered on the ground, and Su Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

When did she ever see so much cash? The sheer shock is indescribable.
It would be impossible to say that Su Xiaoxiao wasn't a little money-grubber. She always has been, and at this moment her eyes were practically popping out of her head.

Some people who bought medicine and saw doctors at Ci'an Hall couldn't help but come over to watch, mainly because this person was really arrogant.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tug at Prince Gong's sleeve, "What should I do? I think I might be falling for him this time."

Prince Gong originally thought that after he successfully facilitated the business deal between Su Xiaoxiao and Cixitang, Su Xiaoxiao would owe him a favor.

He could then openly ask Su Xiaoxiao to treat him to a meal, or even have a more intimate date.

He didn't expect that after seeing the money, Su Xiaoxiao, while saying she wasn't tempted and would uphold her integrity, would actually do something else entirely...

"What do you mean?"

Prince Gong asked Su Xiaoxiao in a low voice.

“I think this is way off. Otherwise, should we sell the herbs to this young man?”

Prince Gong was almost stunned by Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao insisted on upholding integrity, but she was immediately won over by the thousand taels of silver in front of her.

It has to be said that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it changes incredibly quickly.

Prince Gong appeared to be in a very difficult position.

"Isn't this bad!"

But Su Xiaoxiao had no choice. Suddenly, she realized that she might be being a bit too greedy. This wasn't a good thing, because, after all, she didn't know where this person came from.

Maybe he's not a good person, and the box of silver he's carrying is fake? Should I bite into it and see, or like in some TV dramas?

When the box was opened, only the top layer contained real money; the bottom layers were just bundles of newspapers used as a cover.
