After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 13 Price reduction
Qi Yunran led Xiao Jingxuan for an hour before finally arriving at the town.

Xiao Jingxuan never complained of being tired throughout the journey.

Qi Yunran first took Xiao Jingxuan to the largest Chen family clinic in town.

When I arrived at the clinic, there was only one shrewd clerk cleaning at the front desk.

Qi Yunran led the child in.

The shop assistant put down the rag he was holding and asked, "What are you here to buy, young lady?"

Qi Yunran had only tied her hair into a small bun at the back of her head, leaving the rest of her hair loose and flowing down her back. She was dressed like an unmarried woman.

Qi Yunran frowned slightly: "Your manager isn't here?"

"What bad luck, the shopkeeper has gone to pick up my young master. You can tell me what's wrong."

Qi Yunran took out wild ginseng from her basket.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw it. He picked up the wild ginseng and looked at it for a long time before reluctantly putting it down, while pretending to be calm.

I glanced at Qi Yunran and Xiao Jingxuan's clothes. The styles were nice, but the fabrics were not up to par.

Having made up his mind, he asked calmly, "How much do you want for this wild ginseng, young lady?"

Qi Yunran didn't know the prices here, but she felt they wouldn't be too low: "What price are you willing to pay?"

The shop assistant pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "Well, we have plenty of wild ginseng in our shop. If you want to sell it, I'll give you ten taels of silver."

Qi Yunran put away the wild ginseng, grabbed Xiao Jingxuan, and left. Ten taels of silver?

"Young lady, how much silver do you want?" A gentle male voice suddenly appeared at the door.

Two men were standing at the entrance of the pharmacy, one young and one old.

The one speaking was the young man at the head of the group.

The pharmacy clerk immediately called out nervously, "Young master, manager."

The older man angrily berated the pharmacy clerk: "What kind of work are you doing? Trying to ruin Chen's Pharmacy's reputation? If you don't want to work here, get out now." He then turned to Qi Yunran and said: "Don't be angry, miss. The clerk was trying to lower your price to make a profit for the pharmacy. Chen's Pharmacy will never keep such a traitor."

"Shopkeeper, I won't dare to do it again. Please give me another chance?" Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's sharp eyes saw through his plan immediately.

"Men, throw him out immediately!"

At the young man's command, two guards appeared behind him, covered his mouth as he screamed incoherently, and threw him out.

He then publicly recounted his actions to the people on the street, gaining their unanimous approval. Finally, he placed an advertisement: Chen's Pharmacy is honest and trustworthy, treating everyone, young and old.

From now on, people can buy and sell medicinal herbs at Chen's Pharmacy. The prices are fair, and they treat everyone fairly, young and old! This received widespread praise.

Qi Yunran was invited into the pharmacy by the shopkeeper. The young man saw that Qi Yunran had an extraordinary demeanor and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Few women can be as poised and decisive as a man. Though simply dressed, she possesses an inherent pride. His eyes revealed admiration: "Miss, I apologize for what happened earlier. I'll offer five hundred taels for this wild ginseng."

Qi Yunran raised an eyebrow; her lowest price was four hundred taels.

"Sure, cash on delivery."

The young man immediately instructed the shopkeeper to withdraw five hundred taels from the accounting office.

"Young lady, you are a very straightforward person. In the future, if you find any good medicinal herbs, you can sell them at the pharmacy. Chen's Pharmacy will buy them at the standard price."

Qi Yunran took the silver notes and then had them exchange one hundred-tael silver note for seven ten-tael and thirty-tael pieces of silver.

"can!"

Even after Qi Yunran had walked quite a distance, the young man still hadn't looked away: "Young master, what are you looking at?"

"That woman didn't act like a peasant woman at all. Five hundred taels is a huge sum of money in a peasant family, but she accepted it without even blinking. She was more like a rich young lady from the capital who was used to seeing silver notes."

"That woman did have an extraordinary air about her; it seemed she knew the price of this wild ginseng."

"Ah... an interesting woman. Wrap this wild ginseng carefully; I'm giving it away."
