"Ladies, what would you like to order?"

Seeing Xu Qinghe's warm and cheerful smile, the woman who had originally planned to just take a look and leave stopped in her tracks. "How much are your chanterelle mushrooms?"

"Twenty coins a catty."

"Twenty coins? That's a bit expensive!" The woman began to question as soon as she heard Xu Qinghe's price.

Seeing her suspicious gaze, Xu Qinghe began to question herself. Was it really that expensive? Shen Zhi had told her the price on the way here.

As someone who had just transmigrated from the future, she certainly wouldn't know their prices. The original owner of this body had been a maid in the mansion since childhood and wasn't involved in purchasing, so she was completely ignorant of such matters. Therefore, their prices were all set by Shen Zhi.

Just as Xu Qinghe was thinking about how to explain, Shen Zhi calmly said, "Twenty coins is not expensive. It sells for twenty-five coins in the market."

Upon hearing this, the woman's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment. She had thought that Xu Qinghe was young and had innocent and harmless eyes, so she was going to try to trick her and lower the price. She never expected that the man next to her would be so shrewd.

"Alright! Twenty it is, give me two jin first."

Upon hearing this, the woman with her quickly added, "Give me two jin too."

Xu Qinghe was overjoyed that she had opened her business so easily and excitedly picked up the scale to weigh the two people.

While putting chanterelles onto the scale, I showed them the weight on the scale.

Only after the two of them had agreed did they pour the chanterelle mushrooms into their basket.

While unloading, she didn't forget to promote her wild pears, "Sister-in-law, I still have some freshly picked pears here. Would you like to buy some for the kids as a sweet treat?"

The woman looked at the pears Xu Qinghe had placed aside and said with some disdain, "These pears are so small, are they even tasty?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately perked up, "Don't underestimate these small pears, they're incredibly sweet."

"I'll cut you a piece to try." As she spoke, she began to give Shen Zhishi a meaningful look.

Shen Zhi immediately understood Xu Qinghe's meaning, got up, took out the knife from his body, and began to cut pears for them to taste.

It was the first time the two of them had ever seen something sold like this, so they couldn't resist taking a piece and trying it. They found that it was just as Xu Qinghe had said—sweet and juicy.

"Hmm, your pears are really good. How much are they per pound?"

Xu Qinghe, "Eight wen".

The woman said, "It's not expensive. Give me two jin of this."

Just as the two women were eating pears at their stall, they unknowingly attracted another group of people.

As soon as Xu Qinghe saw people coming, she was so happy that she could hardly stop smiling. Regardless of whether others wanted to buy or not, she would ask Shen Zhi to cut a piece of pear for them to try. As they tasted it, more and more people came.

Shen Zhi's knife skills were also very impressive. Each piece was cut very evenly, neither too thin so that they couldn't taste the flavor, nor too small to be devoured in a few bites.

With the cooperation of Xu Qinghe and Shen Zhi, the pears and chanterelle mushrooms they brought quickly sold out.

Looking at the coins in her pocket, Xu Qinghe smiled broadly. "Where do we go next?"

As Shen Zhi slung the basket over his shoulder, he glanced at Xu Qinghe. Seeing how happy she was, the coldness in his eyes softened a bit. "Didn't you want to do some shopping before going to the pharmacy?"

Xu Qinghe was even happier to hear this, because no matter what era it was, going to the market was always cheaper than going to the store, because the stall fees were cheaper.

In addition, Xu Qinghe had already decided what she wanted to buy on the way here, and now that she had the money, she went straight to what she wanted.

Buying seeds is the most important thing. It's only June now, and there's still time to plant many vegetables. Otherwise, as it gets hotter and hotter, planting them will be too late, and their growth will be poor.

When Shen Zhi saw that Xu Qinghe's first action was to buy seeds, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. She was a visionary.

No sooner had he finished praising her than Xu Qinghe began to spend lavishly, saying, "This, this, this, I want them all."

Seeing Xu Qinghe buying seeds as casually as if they were free, Shen Zhi couldn't help but tug at her arm, "Do you even recognize all of these seeds you bought?"

Xu Qinghe shook her head. "I don't know him."

Shen Zhi...

"I don't know you, why did you buy so much?"

Xu Qinghe sighed, "Because he doesn't know him either."

The boss whose name was mentioned immediately became embarrassed, "I collect seeds from both inside and outside the pass, and I have so many seeds, sometimes I can't even figure it out myself."

"But I can assure you, these seeds are rare, and I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised when you plant them."

Xu Qinghe: "I don't care if you're surprised or not, but since I'm buying so much at once, you have to give me a discount."

Upon hearing this, the seed seller immediately became troubled. "It's true you bought a lot of varieties, but you didn't order enough! Look, it's not even enough for me to pack up for you."

Xu Qinghe retorted without backing down, "But if I add them all together, it'll be too much."

Seeing Xu Qinghe's serious expression, and considering that no one had bought his seeds in a long time, the seed seller gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Alright! How about two coins a pack?"

Xu Qinghe counted them; there were fifteen packets in total. He immediately took out thirty coins and handed them over.

Seeing that Xu Qinghe paid so readily, Shen Zhi had no choice but to help the shopkeeper put the seed packets into the basket.

Seeing how considerate Shen Zhi was, the boss couldn't help but praise him, "Young man, you're so lucky to have found such a capable wife. You're destined for a good life."

Both of them blushed upon hearing this, and Xu Qinghe said helplessly, "Boss, you've got it wrong. We're not husband and wife. He's my master, and I'm his maid."

The seed seller immediately clicked his tongue twice, "You don't look like a maid at all."

Xu Qinghe didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she quickly pulled Shen Zhi to another place.

After buying the seeds, she only had 330 coins left. Xu Qinghe spent most of the day with Shen Zhi at the market, and the fastest they could spend was 10 coins to buy a piece of tofu and 100 coins to buy five catties of pork. They dared not spend any more money.

Since it was still uncertain whether the Ganoderma lucidum could be sold, Xu Qinghe dared not spend too much.

Led by Shen Zhi, the two soon arrived at Jing'an Hall, a famous pharmacy on the border.

Having learned from her experience selling chanterelle mushrooms, Xu Qinghe didn't rush to step forward this time. Instead, she nudged Shen Zhidao and said, "You can sell them later."

Shen Zhi looked down at Xu Qinghe beside him, and nodded helplessly at her petite and lovely appearance.

Because of the scar on his face, Shen Zhi received a warm welcome as soon as he entered. "What would you two like to order?"

Shen Zhi calmly shook his head, "We're not buying anything, we're here to sell something." As he spoke, he took off his basket and showed the waiter the Ganoderma lucidum inside.

The waiter's eyes lit up with surprise at just one glance. "Wait a moment, I'll call our manager right away."
