Chapter 64: Searching for Cousin
The shop assistant spoke as he took the back-basket from Zhao Zhitong’s hand, "Let me see... Hmm, a beginner, and just a little child too. The processing is quite good; you have a real talent."
Upon receiving the praise, Zhao Zhitong grinned at him, revealing her two small canine teeth. Paired with her tiny dimples, she was utterly adorable.
"Big Brother, I’m very capable, you know. I gathered all of these from the mountain and processed them myself."
The two shop assistants couldn’t help but smile. No one could resist smiling at such a cute and well-behaved child.
"Let me see how much they’re worth then."
The shop assistant said, taking the herbs out of the back-basket type by type. After weighing them, he announced clearly, "Ge Gen slices, two mace; Chai Hu, one mace; One-point Red, one mace..."
Zhao Zhitong stood beside him, her round eyes wide as she watched intently.
Just as the assistant finished listing all the medicinal herbs, Zhao Zhitong piped up in her childish voice, "Big Brother, that’s twelve coins in total, right?"
The assistant doing the accounting paused, looking at Zhao Zhitong in surprise. "Well now, your little girl is quite something! Exactly twelve coins."
With that, he counted out twelve copper coins and handed them to the little girl.
