The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 415 - 415 415 Is this deal worthwhile

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Is this deal worthwhile? Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Is this deal worthwhile? “So, as you said, it’s indeed impossible.”

“Right.”

Lin Caisang nodded.

“It’s not just about taking risks. The fruit I pick myself isn’t for making a lot of money. I toss the bad ones away. But if I actually started buying fruits from the villagers, would they be as careful as I am?

For fruits like loquats that need to be pitted, it’s fine. But what about cherries, or plums that will be ripe for picking in a few days? They don’t need to be pitted. What if a customer finds a worm inside? Wouldn’t that ruin my business?

Am I supposed to put up a sign in my shop that says, ‘A certain amount of bad fruit is normal. The shop is not responsible for it’?”

“Heh.”

Hearing her words, Ya Molian laughed.

“With that said, instead of picking wild fruits in the forest, you should buy thousands of acres of land and plant your own fruit trees to make dried fruit.”

“Ah, that’s a great idea.”

Lin Caisang brightened at Ya Molian’s suggestion. She thought it was a great idea.

Ya Molian: “…”

Did this girl not realize he was just joking around with her?

But Lin Caisang really thought it was a good idea. Moreover, she had the means to do it now.

“Brother Molian, remember when I treated the Elder Princess’s illness? The rewards on the imperial edict included not only the Death Exemption Token and ten thousand taels of gold but also ten thousand acres of fertile land. Do you think I could choose the land myself?”

“What do you think?” Ya Molian countered.

Which emperor would let their subjects choose from the rewards he bestowed? Where would that leave the emperor’s dignity?

“I think…it should be possible?”

Lin Caisang wasn’t certain, but she thought that if she negotiated nicely with the Eldest Prince, she might get her way.

“If worst comes to worst, I’ll give them some more of ‘Fearless.’ That should do the trick, right?”

Ya Molian: “…”

He felt utterly defeated by this girl.

“Sang’er, if I told you that each of your elixir pills, ‘Fearless,’ that you produced in Hongling Town, is worth a fortune in the Liang Kingdom and its neighboring countries, would you think this deal is worthwhile?”

He asked tentatively.

She had previously given him five ‘Fearless’ pills to keep for emergencies. Since he wasn’t familiar with the elixir’s properties, he had Jiang Zuo take one to his master for examination and just recently received the appraisal.

According to news from Jiang Zuo’s master, the elixir she produced was worth its weight in gold.

Wouldn’t it be better to buy some land she liked with the ten thousand taels of silver rather than negotiating with someone about it?

However, Lin Caisang did not think that way. Upon hearing his words, she casually shrugged her shoulders.

“Of course it’s worthwhile. I didn’t spend any money making these elixirs, and I can’t sell them anyway. It’s much better to use them for something meaningful. Don’t you think?”

Ya Molian: “…”

What was he supposed to say? He could only indulge the girl he liked.

“Alright, if that makes you happy. We’ll go look around the outskirts of Jianan City when the time comes. You can ask for whichever plot of land you like from the emperor.”

“Do you think Jianan City is my backyard, where I can get whatever I want?” Lin Caisang retorted in annoyance.

Asking for whichever plot of land she wanted from the emperor? The emperor wasn’t her uncle. If she took a fancy to a piece of land, it must be a prime one. Could the emperor give it to her? She only solved the poisoning case for the Elder Princess, she didn’t save the emperor’s life.

There was a difference.
