“Ah, you can really sell it for money? How much can you sell it for?” Chu Xing was also pleasantly surprised. He asked the price very honestly and directly ignored Doctor Lu’s question. If it was not for the fact that he knew Chu Xing well, Ye Muyu would have doubted how he usually did business.

Sure enough, Doctor Lu was not angry. He patiently explained to him, “Your Wild Fan flowers and fruits have not been processed and are still wet. The price is 50 copper coins per catty.”

“Fifty copper coins!” Chu Xing’s eyes lit up as he looked at Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu stepped forward and said, “Doctor Lu, we only have two bags at the moment. Please weigh them. However, the quality of this bag is slightly inferior.”

Doctor Lu did not expect them to have already separated the good and bad. He could not help but feel satisfied with such a meticulous farmer. “The ones that are slightly worse were originally 45 coins per catty, but seeing that you guys were honest and patiently separated them, let’s make it 46 coins per catty.”

“Doctor Lu, I knew you were the best. Thank you.” Chu Xing happily held Doctor Lu’s hand, as if he had earned so much silver.

Doctor Lu was already so old. He looked at Chu Xing as if he was looking at his own son. At first, he was embarrassed, but then he could not help but laugh.

Doctor Lu weighed the Wild Fan flower and fruits in front of the two of them.

After weighing it out, there were about five catties of high-grade ones and about five catties of low-grade ones.

“A total of 480 copper coins, count it.” Doctor Lu directly handed over several strings of copper coins.

Ye Muyu felt that it was hard to carry it, but she did not say anything about exchanging it. After all, she did not have many copper coins at home. She needed them when she hired someone to do work anyway. In that case, she did not need to do anything unnecessary.

“Doctor Lu, there’s also this.”

With the high price of the Wild Mountain flower and fruits, Chu Xing was even more eager to take out the other two herbs.

“This is… Solomon’s Seal that’s seven or eight years old. It’s not easy to find.” Doctor Lu was pleasantly surprised. He stroked his beard and gave a fair price. “Solomon’s Seal is precious, not to mention it’s aged. These few pieces should be about three catties.”

“I’ll give you six taels of silver, how about it?”

Ye Muyu also knew that Solomon’s Seal was the most expensive. Chu Xing, who was standing beside him, had his mouth wide open in shock. Perhaps he knew that the price was too high, but he did not shout it out.

Ye Muyu thought to herself, ‘Judging from Doctor Lu’s personality, he’s not a person who would lie to others. It could be seen that there was no hesitation in those people who came to sell medicinal herbs.’ Presumably, this price was considered very fair.

“Sure.” She nodded.

“Doctor Lu, please help me take a look at this.” Ye Muyu accepted the six taels of silver calmly.

Chu Xing might be too excited, but he did not say anything.

Doctor Lu looked at Kudzu roots and quickly gave the price. “Kudzu roots cost six copper coins per catty. I see that your Kudzu roots are well preserved.”

“These are relatively young and not very useful. How about I give you 2 copper coins per catty at most?”

Ye Muyu could tell that Doctor Lu was taking care of her. She did not miss the frown on Doctor Lu’s face when he saw the tiny roots. It was only for a moment, but Ye Muyu caught it by chance.

“Sure.”

Seeing that Ye Muyu did not bargain, Doctor Lu was quite satisfied. He called the apprentice behind him to weigh the weight.

“Doctor Lu, I wonder how much a one-year-old big piece can be sold for?” Ye Muyu asked.

She had picked up the little ones from the ground. They were at most three or four months old and had not grown up yet. Naturally, they were not worth much..
