“Nothing went wrong.”

Doctor Li reached out and grabbed Jiang Sanlang, leading him to the study in the backyard.

After seating him on the chair in the study, Doctor Li asked, “San Lang, could you sell me some of your golden ears?”

Jiang Sanlang was puzzled as to why Doctor Li suddenly wanted to buy golden ears, but he nodded anyway. “How much do you want, Mr. Li? I can reserve some for you.”

“Five pounds, no, ten pounds.” Doctor Li had occasionally bought some before, but he never bought a lot each time, as his pharmacy sold very little of it.

After everyone in the township learned that golden ears were being grown in Dongchen Village, the golden ears in his drugstore were even harder to sell, so he simply stopped buying them.

This morning, his little granddaughter told him that the magic pills of Yingbao were extracted from the golden ears. Doctor Li immediately got excited, fumbled out the half pound of golden ears that Yingbao had given him as an apprentice, and sniffed it.

The subtle fragrance did indeed match exactly with the pills Yingbao had brought out.

Jiang Sanlang paused a moment before nodding. “Okay.”

He had a considerable crop this time. Not only did he plant eight hundred golden ears, but he also planted eight hundred snow ears.

If all were dried, he estimated he could harvest more than twenty pounds of golden ears and more than twenty pounds of snow ears.

When the time came, he would sell him ten pounds. After all, they were from the same village, and Old Li was also the master who passed on his skills to his daughter.

Having agreed on the purchase of the golden ears, Doctor Li cheerfully went back to the sickbed and took Xiao Chengjun’s pulse again.

The pulse was steady, and the condition seemed to be getting better.

Doctor Li then instructed Xiao family’s trusted aide to keep an eye on the color and shape of Xiao Chengjun’s urine and stool before returning to his room to tidy up the case notes.

In the afternoon, seeing that Xiao Chengjun was clear-minded, in good health and no longer feverish, Yingbao asked to leave.

Xiao Mo did not stop her, but suggested buying the herbal pills she had.

Yingbao thought for a moment, pretending to be in a bind, “These medicines are hard to prepare, and the ingredients are very valuable, each pill costs at least two taels of silver…”

“Just name your price.” Xiao Mo interrupted her incessant chatter. “I want to buy a hundred.”

Yingbao’s eyes lit up, “A hundred? But I don’t have that many now, it will take several days to prepare anew.”

“That’s alright, I can wait. Let’s first discuss how much for each pill.” Xiao Mo said.

“Well…even if it’s a discount for you, three…four taels of silver per pill, if you think that’s too expensive…”

“Three taels or four?” Xiao Mo asked.

Yingbao acted as if making a huge sacrifice: “Let’s say three taels, that’s the cost price for you.”

“I appreciate it.” Xiao Mo then turned to the middle-aged scholar, “Give her three hundred taels in silver notes.”

Silver notes? That won’t work!

That thing is just a piece of paper, and not universally accepted. Moreover, the inscriptions could get blurred if it got wet in the rain, the silver shop will not exchange for it.

Yingbao immediately refused, “I don’t want silver notes. I don’t know where to exchange them, and I heard they discount at exchange. If you don’t have ready cash, I’ll also take copper coins.”

To trade in copper coins equivalent to three hundred taels of silver, he’d have to cart them by mule, haha!

Xiao Mo looked at the little girl deeply.

He turned to the scholar, “Mr. Chui, could you please make a trip to the county town and withdraw three hundred…no, five hundred taels of silver.”

Chui Zhaochen saluted, “Yes.” He then rode to the county town with a few bodyguards to withdraw the money.

Yingbao purchased many herbs for treating external injuries and a bit of ginseng at Rongji Pharmacy before going home with her father.

Jiang Sanlang was very pleased to see his daughter heal the young master from the Xiao family.

His daughter was finally making a name for herself.

A disease that the doctor in the prefecture’s city couldn’t cure, was miraculously healed by his daughter, it was beyond his expectations.

Jiang Sanlang was full of pride, feeling that his back was straighter than others, he walked with a spring in his step, and when he greeted acquaintances, his voice was resounding.

When she returned home, the first thing Yingbao did was to prepare the medicine.
