Chapter 206 Business

Yellow Pine Mushrooms were extremely rare! In all of Shiqiao Town, only about ten fresh pounds could be gathered in a year, amounting to a mere two or three pounds when dried.
In the Capital City, in the south, these items were in very high demand, fetching prices up to several hundred taels per pound, and they were often impossible to find at any price.
More importantly, these mushrooms were a prestigious gift item. It was said that a very honored Noble Patron in the Capital City was particularly fond of them. At their birthday banquet this year, the dish had featured, and only the closest of associates had the chance to taste it.
It was heard that the household that offered the Yellow Pine Mushrooms effortlessly gained the qualifications to compete to become an Imperial Merchant.
Imperial Merchant—this was the ultimate dream of every merchant!
