Chapter 28: Selling Medicinal Herbs (3)
Duan Yixin just wanted to test Tan Lidan and did not really want to sell her medicinal herbs at a higher price, so she nodded and said, "All right. Then, I will sell all my medicinal herbs to Chang Shou Pharmacy for fifty copper coins per jin."
After she said that, Tan Lidan looked at the servant waiting on the side and said, "Bring the scales and weigh these medicinal herbs."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Tan." The servant responded and went out to get the scale.
Not long after, the servant came back and started weighing the medicinal herbs. Because they are only semi-dry, they are heavier than fully dry herbs. Coupled with the higher price offered by Tan Lidan, Duan Yixin’s income is three times that of others.
After weighing the medicinal herbs, the servant handed the list to Tan Lidan and said, "Shopkeeper Tan, the total of these medicinal herbs is twenty-two jin."
Tan Lidan nodded, looked at Duan Yixin, and said, "The price of a jin of medicinal herbs is fifty copper coins. So the total is one thousand and one hundred copper coins. Miss Duan, how do you want to collect the payment?"
After thinking for a moment, Duan Yixin said, "Just give me copper coins."
Tan Lidan smiled and said, "All right."
Then, he ordered the servant to get the money and chat with Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru. When the servant came back with the money, he already knew that they were from Yunshan Village.
