Chapter 390 I Can Still Help You

own courtyard."Today, if you can climb down from my shoulder, I, Su Yusheng, will write my name backward."Back then, he was bullied by Zong Yulian in the village, pinned down and harassed. That scene...The portly old man was particularly excited to see the Lingzhi mushroom. Fang Jinshu was surprised and asked, "Old man, do you know Lingzhi"

The portly old man looked more surprised than she was. "Know each other How could I not know you"

"Where did you get this thing"

Lingzhi mushrooms grow underground and have extremely harsh growing conditions. They are rare on one hand, and harder to find than other medicinal herbs.

This is really good stuff, and Fang Jinshi brought out a Lingzhi mushroom that was almost half the size of his palm.

"Old man, since you know a good thing when you see one, then things are easy."

"Can you really help me sell this"

The portly old man frowned, his face losing its smile as he saw something.

Cordyceps militaris is not cheap, a specimen this large would probably cost several thousand.

"It'll definitely sell, it depends on how you want to sell it. Old man isn't lying to you, this thing is valuable."

"Next month, there will be a tasting event in Muzhou. If you take this thing there, even selling it for tens of thousands of taels wouldn't be difficult."

The value of rare medicinal herbs has no fixed price; the rarer they are, the more expensive they become. Aristocratic families love to buy these things. The wealthier they are, the more life-saving items they want to have in their homes.

Fāng Jǐnxiù frowned, "We don't have that much time."

If he doesn't go back for a month, his mother and Zong Baiyu Lian would be worried sick.

The portly old man said, “There’s another way. If you urgently need money, you can sell this to me.”

"Although I can't afford to buy your Lingzhi mushroom for tens of thousands of silver taels, I can still buy it at the normal market price."

Fang Jinshu nodded and asked, "What is the market price of Wulingzhi"

She had only just arrived in this world, and although her mind held the original owner's memories, the original owner had never dealt with medicinal herbs, especially those so valuable.

"They're all calculated by weight. This big Lingzhi should weigh about half a jin. There's no such medicine in the apothecaries of Luoshui City."

"In the Bailing Hall of Mùzhōu City, a gram of烏靈芝 costs fifteen taels of silver. This piece is probably worth around four thousand taels of silver."

Even Zong Yu, with his usual cold demeanor, couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing the price of four thousand taels. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the dark object in the fat old man's palm.

The wife found this thing. At the time, she was so excited that she asked him to dig it up. After digging it out, Zongyu took a look and saw that it was a black object, and he couldn't tell what it was, so he didn't ask any further questions.

On the contrary, the daughter-in-law was beaming with joy as she put things away into her spatial storage.

I never expected this tiny black lump to be more valuable than the herbs my daughter-in-law grew with spring water.

Fang Jinxiu's reaction was comparatively calm. Four thousand taels should be enough for her to take over the mountain stronghold.

“Alright, four thousand taels.” She agreed readily.

The portly old man agreed readily, even though he had spent a fortune buying the lingzhi. He was going to take it to the appraisal meeting in Muzhou and not only would he avoid losses, but he could also make a big profit.

A win-win situation is always desirable.

The fat old man had someone bring him ink, paper, and a writing brush to draw up the sales contract. For large transactions, it is best for both parties to sign and seal their names to avoid unnecessary disputes and trouble in the future.

After completing the process, the stout old man began to wonder why Jinxiu needed so much silver.

"Girl, what do you need so much silver for"

The young woman in front of him gave him a very strange feeling. Judging from their couple's attire, they didn't seem to be from a wealthy family, but they were still carrying a precious baby.

And looking at the girl's expression, it didn't seem like she didn't know what Lingzhi was. When he shouted out four thousand taels of silver, even her usually dull husband couldn't help but change his face.

But she remained calm, as if she had always known what kind of object the Wulingzhi was.

Fewer than ten people in the whole city of Luoshui recognize Lingzhi. Even some prominent families might not know about it.

Fāng Jǐnxiù knew this, though.

The portly old man developed a fondness for her. He had originally relied on this girl to cure his illness, and now there was an added layer of curiosity.

"Girl, what kind of problem are you trying to solve with so much silver"

"Now that you have silver, if it's convenient, just speak up. Who knows, maybe this old man can lend a hand."ooking again, it was Zong Yu's back.He stood before her with a cold face, keeping all the women who came to fawn over her at bay."Who is this Why are they so fierce, like they're going to eat someone"...
