Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Fish-eyed Mixed Pearl
“A person like you, how much can you sell? You still want to see our shopkeeper? What a fantasy! Go away! Go away! You can’t compensate me for wasting my time!”

The alchemist did not take a glance. Instead, he pushed Su Wanwan. The ginseng on the black cloth instantly fell to the ground. A sharp-eyed person saw it and immediately shouted, “Didn’t you Renhe Medicine Shop say there were no ginseng? What is this? I have money, quickly cut two pieces of ginseng for me!”

“Ginseng? Where is ginseng!” The alchemist looked down and his eyes gradually brightened. “Are you a ginseng? How much silver? Our Renhe Medicine Shop wants it!”

“Heh!” Su Wanwan snorted coldly. She picked up the ginseng and continued to wrap it up in black cloth. “Sorry, I won’t sell it anymore! I thought the biggest pharmacy in the county was really a’benevolent ‘pharmacy. Unexpectedly, it was also a shop that looked down on people with a dog’s eyes and had a dog’s presence!”

Su Wan turned around and left. She squeezed into the crowd and said, “Move aside.”

“Young lady, don’t leave! Can you cut me two pieces of ginseng? I’ll give you two, no! Twenty taels of silver!” That person quickly grabbed Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan’s eyes lit up. She did not seem to know the price of ginseng, but when she heard that this person increased the price so quickly, she was afraid that she would run away and not sell it to him. She could see that ginseng was a hot item.

Seeing Su Wanwan’s hesitant expression, the alchemy boy was afraid that Su Wanwan would sell the ginseng to someone else and chase after him. He said respectfully, “Young lady, this ginseng is needed by many patients. Selling the ginseng is also a good thing.”

Why does this sound so unpleasant? Su Wanwan frowned. “What do you think about you looking at me with your nose just now? Do you think I’m gentle and virtuous? Bullshit! Let me tell you, I’m also a person with a temper! If I say I won’t sell it, then I won’t sell it!”

“You!” The alchemist blushed, “You … Why are you so rude! We … We only said this in a hurry, please don’t mind …”

Now, a girl at a time even used the word’invite ‘, which was really beautiful. Su Wanwan raised her chin and said, “Goodbye!”

Su Wanwan pushed the crowd aside, ignoring the person who asked for help. After she left, she was surrounded by a group of people. “Young lady, sell me the ginseng! I only want one! A thin piece will do! No, how about a small piece!”

Su Wanwan hid the ginseng well, afraid that these people would snatch it away.

The alchemist watched this group of people flock to Su Wanwan and panicked instantly. That ginseng was so big, how much profit could it earn in their Renhe Alchemy Shop! How could this ginseng be ruined by these people?

What shall I do!

The pharmacist hurriedly went in to look for the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn’t want to pay any attention to it. Upon hearing the ginseng, he finished listening to the pharmacist’s statement. Then, he immediately rushed out with the pharmacist and found Su Wanwan, saying, “Miss, can you show it to me?”

“Yes.” The shopkeeper looked human, so Su Wanwan agreed and handed the ginseng over.

The shopkeeper looked at it carefully. His deep eyes gradually shone, and then gradually dimmed down. “You are not a ginseng.”

Everyone hissed endlessly, “How could this not be ginseng?”

The shopkeeper stroked his beard, his eyes resolute and calm. “Platycodon grandiflorum looks similar to ginseng. It’s normal that you don’t know each other.”

Believe him! Could it be that Mountain Rats can still deceive people?

He thought that the shopkeeper was different from the medicine boy, but he didn’t expect that the same goods would be made of gold and jade. Su Wanwan was very angry. Just as she was about to leave, she heard him say, “Young lady, although Platycodon grandiflorum is an ordinary thing, it is also hard for me to read your name. I will accept your Platycodon grandiflorum at a high price. How about it?”

“High price? How much silver?” Su Wanwan sneered. This shopkeeper was clearly pulling on a calf! To call ginseng an ordinary platycodon grandiflorum and to say that it was bought at a high price, wasn’t this the normal method of a swindler?

“A silver car.”

“What?” Su Wanwan dug her ears out. What was going on? Did she really not hear wrongly?

The shopkeeper frowned. “This Platycodon grandiflorum has a lot of years, but it’s also an ordinary medicine. It’s not worth much. A tael of silver is already an astronomical price. It can’t be higher.”

Are you kidding me?

“Heh, let me see what kind of platycodon root it is. Is it so valuable?” Su Wanwan sneered and stretched out her hand to bring the ginseng back. The shopkeeper’s hand stiffened slightly and her eyes revealed reluctance.

He was simply cheating on his father! If he sold it to the people beside him, one person and one shard, it would cost at least five hundred taels of silver!

“Give it to me? I won’t sell it anymore.” Su Wanwan rolled her eyes at the shopkeeper. Seeing that the shopkeeper was unwilling, she immediately snatched the ginseng back. She sneered, “I still don’t know if it’s ginseng or not. Why do I need you to tell me? You lied to me that it’s Platycodon grandiflorum? You want to use one tael of silver to deceive my ginseng worth over a thousand taels of silver?”

Being stabbed in the heart, the shopkeeper’s face was like a palette. It turned green and blue. Su Wanwan felt that it was very beautiful.

“Miss, let me tell you again. I’ll give you one tael of silver. Can you sell me this platycodon? I was just thinking about how hard you worked to dig up the medicine.”

Everyone sighed again. How could a platycodon be so valuable? The shopkeeper had already shown such sincerity and such a large sum of money! Why isn’t this silly girl for sale?

Everyone warned, and Su Wanwan’s face darkened.

“Don’t you see that this is ginseng and not Platycodon grandiflorum?” Su Wanwan said angrily.

“Young lady, this shopkeeper was at least a doctor before. He definitely wouldn’t lie to you.”

“That’s right! Renhe Pharmacy is a big pharmacy! Its reputation must be there!”

“…”

Su Wanwan frowned, “If you believe me, why don’t you take out the platycodon that you brought over and sell it to this shopkeeper? Anyway, I don’t have the heart to sell this ginseng as platycodon.”

Everyone looked at each other. Su Wanwan wrapped up the ginseng by herself. She looked up and saw a person squeezing through the crowd. She raised her Platycodon grandiflorum high up and smiled, “Shopkeeper! Look at my Platycodon grandiflorum. It’s quite big. Can you give me a tael of silver? Half a tael of silver is fine!”

“…”

He thought that anyone could sell a platycodon for a tael of silver? The platycodon in his hand could give him at most twenty copper coins!

The shopkeeper’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he was unable to speak for a long time. When the alchemy boy saw the shopkeeper’s gaze, he instantly realized, “Please come in! Let me show you!”

Under everyone’s envy, that person was brought in. Su Wanwan sneered again and pulled Zhen Xiuxiu away.

“Wanwan, why don’t you sell it? The shopkeeper has already given us two taels of silver. Even if we pawn that silver hairpin, we won’t get half a tael of silver!”

Su Wanwan sighed and said to Zhen Xiuxiu seriously, “Mother, this is ginseng, not platycodon, it can’t be worth two taels of silver!”

“You’ve also heard that the shopkeeper will not lie to you!” Zhen Xiuxiu was very anxious. After passing this village, there would be no such shop!

Su Wanwan wanted to explain, but the black cloth in her hand was suddenly snatched away. She lowered her head and saw that her arms were empty!
