Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Arrogant Servant

Doctor Luo saw them carrying two big sacks and immediately welcomed them into his backyard. He asked his apprentice to make them tea before asking Gu Chengrui, "Young man, it looks like your complexion looks much better."

"Thank you, Doctor Luo. Other than a slight cough, there's nothing serious."

"To put it bluntly, it's because you are still young. However, taking two more doses of medicine is better to prevent it from happening again. "

Gu Chengrui nodded and said, "I will. By the way, we've dug up some red sage in the mountains these past two days, but there's not much. In addition, there are some other medicinal herbs. Can you help us take a look?"

After he finished speaking, he opened the sack and began to take out the medicinal herbs one by one.

"Don't worry about it. I'll take them all as long as the herbs are good." After Doctor Luo finished speaking, he bent down and started to help. He also carefully examined the quality of the herbs.

When he saw the superior Gastrodia roots, he had a bright smile on his face.

After he was done, he stood up and said, "Pretty excellent quality overall. The Gastrodia roots and bitter sage are 150 copper per pound. The red sage is 100 copper, and the angelica roots and poria are 50 copper each.

"As for the yam and wild ginger, ten copper each. What do you think?"

After the carriage passed, a girl standing at the side said resentfully, "The Qiao family is getting increasingly arrogant. They're even more condescending than the Gu family."

"Alright, stop talking. We can't afford to offend these people. If we meet them in the future, we'll just hide." A woman at the side pulled her away after she finished speaking.

Zhou Ying had a better understanding of the Qiao family after hearing that.

She was sure that there was someone powerful supporting the Qiao family. Otherwise, a servant from a wealthy family couldn't be so arrogant.

It seemed that they really shouldn't place themselves in a situation against them. Otherwise, although it wouldn't be life-threatening in their current situation, it would definitely not be good.

Then, she saw Gu Chengrui staring thoughtfully at the passing carriage. She raised her hand and shook it in front of his eyes. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed in it?"

Gu Chengrui grabbed her hand and said, "Seeing those goats reminds me of something. The country specifically raises cattle and lamb for meat, but their prices are much higher than pork."

When Zhou Ying heard him say this, she remembered that there were unique breeds but most of them were provided to wealthy families or sold to restaurants. It was difficult to encounter them in the countryside except during the Lunar New Year or festivals.

She thought about it and asked him, "You want to sell the meat we slaughtered last night?"
