“Hehe.”

Hearing the voice outside, the manager of Kong Shan Hall, who was sitting in the inner hall, lifted the curtain, stroked his white beard, and met Li Xiu’e’s aggressive sight with a smile.

“Dear guests, since you are interested in selling ginseng, please come and sit inside.”

“Fine. We are not intentionally looking for trouble. We are indeed here to talk about the deal.”

Li Xiu’e glanced at the emaciated old pharmacy manager and found that he was not vulgar but amiable. She pulled down Su Hu’s sleeve and nodded at him.

“Mmm.”

Su Hu habitually listened to his wife. He walked toward the inner hall. Li Xiu’e followed closely behind with the three children.

After entering the inner hall, the couple was surprised to find that the decorations inside the house were elegant and chic, much more superior to the outer hall. At once, they understood that it was for entertaining valuable guests. Subconsciously, they straightened their backs, afraid of being looked down upon.

The old manager invited them to sit at the tea table and ordered the assistant to serve tea. The young fellow neatly brewed the tea and brought it over, along with a plate of pastries placed in front of the two children.

Doudou was the youngest. Seeing the pastries, he reached out to take them.

“Doudou, you can’t eat them without permission.”

Qiaoqiao knew how to behave and immediately stopped it, puffing out her cheeks and reprimanding him.

“Oh, my brother, the pastries are specially prepared for the two children. There is no harm in having some.”

The old manager’s eyes flashed, stroking his beard and smiling. The words were for Su Hu, but his intelligent gaze fell on Li Xiu’e.

He was sophisticated and had seen that Li Xiu’e was the one who had the right to decide in this family.

“Qiaoqiao, take a pastry and take your brother to play in the backyard .”

As expected, Li Xiu’e pondered slightly before stroking Qiaoqiao’s head and instructing her in a low voice.

She let the two children go to the backyard and intentionally avoided them from hearing the following conversation, lest the two children hear something secret and talk nonsense outside.

“Dear guests, I am not going to lie. There is no uniform standard for the price of ginseng.”

Looking at the two children left, the old manager picked up a cup of tea and took several sips, getting ready to bargain.

“The price of each ginseng varies from a few taels to several hundred taels depending on its quality and year, and if it is newly picked and has fresh roots, the price will be slightly higher.”

“Manager, we know all that you said.”

Li Xiu’e’s eyes flashed, and she kept saying, “Just tell us, how much is the usual purchase price for a hundred-year-old ginseng with intact quality?”

“A hundred-year-old ginseng?”

The old manager froze, not expecting the seemingly ordinary couple to have such good luck in picking hundred-year-old ginseng.

“If it’s a hundred-year-old ginseng, the price starts at one hundred taels of silver directly, and we are willing to pay more if the quality is intact and the roots are complete.”

One hundred taels of silver!

Su Hu’s heart seized at the old shopkeeper’s words, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

Their family’s living expenses were only two or three taels a year. One hundred taels were enough for them to eat and drink for twenty years.

With such thoughts, his gaze became increasingly eager, and he could not wait to sell the ginseng and put a hundred taels of silver into his pocket.

Very hopeful!

The old manager raised his eyelids and glanced at his look. A shrewd bright light crossed his eyes.

“Xiu’e, what do you think?”

Seeing that Xiu’e did not respond, Su Hu reached out and pushed Li Xiu’e’s shoulder.

Hearing a hundred taels of silver, Li Xiu’e was also excited inside. During the ten years of poor marriage, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, they had tasted all flavors in turn over.
