Lin Xiaoye's steps accelerated.

After a while, she looked up and saw a plaque on the top her head with the words "shanhetang".
T/N: Harmony Hall

This is it!

Lin Xiaoye lift her legs and went in.
There are no customers in the herbal medicine shop, only a guy that was dozing off

"Buddy, are you the shopkeeper?"

The guy yawned and looked up.
He was shocked and scared, he almost stop breathing

"So ugly, so ugly..."

Lin Xiaoye raised her hand and touched her face.

Alas, this face is really a little scary. She can can understand if this guy was a little scared. It would be good if she can  hide her face with something.

Lin Xiaoye got an idea. She immediately took a piece of fairly white cloth from her waist and covered it to her face, which was equivalent to a veil.

Although this cloth really can't be compared with that smooth veil.

"Buddy, Im here you ask you something."

The guy turned around and was relieved to see her face covered.  It definitely better to look at than before.

"If you want to get medicine. Give me the prescription, Shunzi will bring it"

"I'm not here to get medicine. I'm here to talk business with your shopkeeper."

The guy was surprised: "talking about business? Just you? "

Lin Xiaoye straightened up:
"What? Can't I have anything good here? "

With that, Lin Xiaoye took the basket off her back and held it in her hands.

The guy immediately stretched his neck to peep at what was in the basket.

Lin Xiaoye stopped at once.

The guy could only deflate his mouth.

"Look at you. What else can you have?! Wait here!"

Lin Xiaoye rolled her eyes at him.

Judging a person by their outward appearance? Hmp! This Aunt is a descendant of a traditional chinese medicine family.
You think she can't solve this problem on her face? It's just a matter of time.
When this aunt gets cured, It will scare you all to death !

"Its her who'd like to have a bussiness talk with the shopkeeper"

The guy came out with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was wearing a saphhire blue coat. He was a middle-aged man. Not fat or thin with a blessed face. The most striking thing was the emerald ring on his left thumb.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Lin Xiaoye.

"I don't know what good things did this girl brought?"

Lin Xiaoye looked at him but remained polite.

"Are you the shopkeeper here? Can you decide on my things? "

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, "don't worry, girl. As long as it's a good one, Zhang will definitely give you a reasonable price."

"Well, look at this and see how much it's worth." Lin Xiaoye took the scorpion out of the basket.

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately holds the scorpion in his palm and squinted

The other guy immediately stepped forward up and looked at it.

"Isn't this just a scorpion? I thought it was some kind of treasure. "

"Baby! What a treasure! "

Just after the guy finished, the exclamation of shopkeeper Zhang came out

"Shopkeeper, isn't this just a scorpion? What treasure? "

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand:
"You have to study more medical skills.
All you know is how to be lazy every day. This scorpion is not an ordinary scorpion. Look at its length,
Look at its big sting. Ordinary scorpions will live for five or seven years at most but this scorpion will live for ten years at least!"

Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Manager Zhang has good eyesight, this scorpion is indeed a rare treasure and look at the color of its tail. If you squeeze out the venom, it's worth more than the scorpion itself!"

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately hold the tail and looked at it carefully. He was shocked.

"Ah, Girl is right. This venom is different from that of ordinary scorpions. If it is used as a medicinal material it'll be a good thing!"

After finish speaking, shopkeeper Zhang eyes immediately turned heavy. He looked at Lin Xiaoye and quickly asked.

"Girl, I don't know where you got this scorpion?"

How can Lin Xiaoye tell him such a thing?

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I got this scorpion by accident. The way was definitely justified. Since you know the goods, give me a price."

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded.

This girl doesn't look easy!

Suddenly he had a plan in mind.

"Well, I've only received this scorpion from you. How about I give it to you at a price twice of an ordinary scorpion?"

With that, shopkeeper Zhang suddenly shouted, " ShunZi, go to the account room and get 400 coppers for this girl."

Lin Xiaoye's palm tightened.

Just twice? Do you really think of her as fool?

In this era, ordinary scorpions are all natural. In modern times, they could be sold for a thousands but here, it'll only fetch a hundred coppers?

The guy Shunzi unwillingly get up: "Shopkeeper, isn't it just a scorpion? Will you really give 400 coppers? "

Shopkeeper Zhang winked at him.
Lin Xiaoye's mouth grimaced.

"Yes, shopkeeper Zhang, this scorpion is not worth 400 coppers."

Shopkeeper Zhang rubbed his palms

"Ay my buddy is not sensible. According to this girl, how much do you think is the appropriate price?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled and said:
" Shopkeeper Zhang is a bussiness man. Naturally, you decide the price. I'm a woman from the mountain village and do not understand business. If you really didn't know, I'll take this to another medicinal shop next to you and ask for its price."

With that, Lin Xiaoye took back the scorpion

Shopkeeper Zhang quickly blocked her way with his hands.

"This girl must be joking, since you brought it here, it's not good for other shopkeepers to see it."

After that, shopkeeper Zhang pondered for a moment and continued: "well, the scorpion you sent is really a good thing, but as you can see, we're only a small shop. I will still give you a reasonable price, how about one or two silver?"

One or two silver? It's a little far from her budget. It's said that there is no fraud, no business. Seemed that she have to teach  this shopkeeper a lesson.

Lin Xiaoye's palm clenched: "Shopkeeper, I came to your shop first when I saw your kind sign. If this business talk goes well, will my treasures have a place in the future?"

Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhang immediately stretched his neck and lowered his voice.

"What else good things does this girl have?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled: "There are good things naturally, but I don't know if the shopkeeper is willing to accept them."

Shopkeeper Zhang was dumbfounded. He looked at Lin Xiaoye, his palm tight.

This girl is really something!
