Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Owing Favors

He Yujie’s palms were sweaty with excitement as he asked, "Uncle Sun, how much is this ginseng worth now?"

Doctor Sun thought for a moment and said, "If someone is in urgent need, it’s priceless. Based on the prices in Ji City, it’s worth at least two thousand three or four hundred. If it were Capital City, it would definitely be even more expensive."

Doctor Sun, somewhat unable to part with it, asked, "Is this ginseng for sale right now?"

He Yujie said, "Uncle Sun, don’t compete with me for it, I urgently need it."

Doctor Sun chuckled, "You’re getting this for Old Master Jing, aren’t you?"

He Yujie smiled, "You know and you still ask."

Doctor Sun stood up, "Since you’ve found it, better send it back quickly; don’t be late and end up spoiling it all."

After that, Doctor Sun looked towards Luo Qiao, "Was it you who brought it here?"

Luo Qiao nodded and replied, "Yes."

Doctor Sun said, "Next time you have good stuff, bring it to Yikang Hall. My name is Sun, just ask for Doctor Sun, everyone will know. If the goods are good, I’ll definitely offer you a fair price."

Luo Qiao smiled, "Okay, thank you, Doctor Sun."

Doctor Sun waved his hand and walked towards the exit, "He kid, the old man is still busy, I’m off."

Ning Rui quickly said, "Doctor Sun, let me escort you back."

He Yujie looked toward Luo Qiao, "You heard Doctor Sun just now. I won’t shortchange you. I’ll give you a little more for this ginseng, how about three thousand yuan in total? What do you think?"

Luo Qiao, thinking that the previous one had only sold for five hundred, felt that three thousand was a substantial amount and nodded, "Okay."

He Yujie now laughed, "You’ve really helped me out this time. If you ever need anything, just ask."

As he spoke, he walked to the inner room. It wasn’t long before he came out with a thick stack of ten-yuan bills in hand, "Count it."

Luo Qiao took it without counting, trusting that He Yujie wouldn’t short her, and was about to put it away when she heard He Yujie say, "Better count it, it’s best for everyone to clear it up in person."

Luo Qiao gave He Yujie a surprised look and counted the money in her hand, nodded towards He Yujie, "It’s all there."

He Yujie handed her a leather pouch, "Put it in here."

Luo Qiao took the leather pouch, put the money in it, then turned around to place it at the bottom of her carrying basket, or rather, into her storage space, before looking at He Yujie, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

He Yujie asked, "Can’t you provide more fish each month?"

Luo Qiao replied, "I can’t, that’s already the limit."

He Yujie watched Luo Qiao leave the courtyard and immediately picked up the phone to dial a number, which was then transferred, "Grandfather, it’s me, I’ve found the ginseng."

"Yes, yes, I’ll buy the ticket now and personally bring it back to the Capital."

One could tell that the person on the other end of the line was in a very good mood.

Since she had come all this way, Luo Qiao thought she might as well look around Ji City to see if there was anything she needed. Unfortunately, after turning around for a long time, she didn’t find anything, but at a corner, she spotted an elderly lady holding a pair of jade bracelets looking to exchange them for grain.

But the Big Brother, whether he couldn’t recognize the value or simply wanted cash, refused her.

Luo Qiao glanced at the bracelets and followed the somewhat disappointed old lady, asking softly, "Are you looking to exchange for grain?"

The old lady stopped when she heard someone talking to her, "Do you have grain?"

Luo Qiao nodded her head, "Yes."

The old lady pulled her to a secluded corner, a bit embarrassed, "I don’t have any money, only this."

After she finished speaking, she carefully showed a little of it for Luo Qiao to see. Luo Qiao asked softly, "What do you want to exchange for?"
