Traveling back to ancient times to get rich

Chapter 346 Discovering a Good Medicine

This stall occupies a considerable area, piled high with all sorts of bones, a sight that takes your breath away. The bones are densely packed together, making it look quite like a small "bone museum" from a distance!

Yelü Fengqi was about to explain to Ye Qingchen what the stall sold when he suddenly noticed that Ye Qingchen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be ignited, becoming extremely excited.

Yelü Fengqi couldn't help but follow Ye Qingchen's gaze with curiosity, only to discover that in her eyes, these seemingly ordinary bones were not ordinary things, but treasures.

Carefully examining the items on the stall, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but marvel at everything displayed before him. The stall was neatly arranged with all sorts of rare animal bones, including wolf teeth, tiger bones, and antelope bones, each exuding a unique aura. Beside these bones were also displayed precious horns such as sika deer antlers, rhinoceros horns, and buffalo horns, which shimmered with a captivating luster in the sunlight.

For the Liao people, these bones displayed in their homes were not merely simple decorations, but symbols of bravery and family glory. They represented the family's past splendor and honor, a pride that could not be expressed in words. However, Ye Qingchen possessed a unique perspective; he immediately recognized the immense medical value of these bones.

These bones and horns were extremely valuable medicinal materials in Ye Qingchen's eyes. Although there's no such thing as wildlife protection these days, it's important to know that these prey are not easy to catch in the Central Plains. Moreover, due to their unique characteristics, they are not easy to breed artificially. Therefore, these items are absolutely rare treasures in the Central Plains!

Without saying a word, Ye Qingchen quickly walked to the stall, squatted down, and carefully examined the bones, muttering to herself from time to time: "This tiger bone is excellent for dispelling wind and clearing the meridians; the sika deer antler has a miraculous effect on insufficient qi and blood..." The more she looked, the more excited she became, her eyes sparkling.

Gu Mochen and Yelü Fengqi followed behind her, watching Ye Qingchen's actions. Yelü Fengqi looked puzzled, while Gu Mochen smiled slightly, seemingly already used to Ye Qingchen's obsession with medicine. Ye Qingchen stood up and said to the stall owner, "Boss, I'll take everything on this stall. Please give me a price." Her voice was clear and crisp, her tone carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

The stall owner, who had been sitting idly to the side, was taken aback when he heard Ye Qingchen's words. Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and said, "Miss, you really know your stuff! However, these bones are all good stuff, and the price isn't cheap..." Before he could finish speaking, Ye Qingchen waved her hand and said, "Price is not a problem. As long as the goods are good, the price is fair."

Yelü Fengqi stood to the side, his eyes wide like saucers, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg, completely stunned by the scene before him. He had seen many people who spent lavishly, but to see someone like Ye Qingchen buy up all the goods on a stall without even asking a question was truly unprecedented!

He couldn't help but tease her curiously, "Sister Ye, your way of buying things is really unique! I think I won't bother selling to others anymore, I'll just sell everything to you directly." As Yelü Fengqi spoke, she kept shaking her head with a smile, her face full of doubt and confusion.

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen turned around, a faint smile on her lips, and replied, "Alright, then you can sell them all to me from now on. I really need these things; these bones are incredibly useful treasures in medicine." After saying that, she turned back to Gu Mochen and asked coquettishly, "Mochen, you won't mind me spending money so recklessly, will you?"

Gu Mochen's gaze fell on Ye Qingchen, his eyes gentle as water. He said softly, "As long as you like it, it's worth any amount of money." These words were like a spring breeze, gently caressing Ye Qingchen's heart, making her face bloom with an even brighter smile.

However, this scene made Yelü Fengqi somewhat embarrassed. Standing aside, watching the loving couple, he couldn't help but sigh: How could a husband and wife be so intimate? He simply couldn't understand this kind of affection.

Then, Ye Qingchen began bargaining with the stall owner. Although she knew nothing about the local market, her quick wit and eloquent speech allowed her to navigate the transaction with ease. After the stall owner quoted a price, Ye Qingchen wasn't intimidated. She skillfully used her negotiation techniques to engage in a fierce verbal battle with the stall owner. She pointed out flaws in the bones, emphasized her purchase quantity, and questioned the price. The stall owner, clearly unaccustomed to such a difficult customer, was somewhat overwhelmed by Ye Qingchen's arguments.

However, Ye Qingchen didn't simply try to drive down the price. She knew how difficult it was to do business and understood that stall owners needed a certain profit margin. Therefore, after some back-and-forth negotiation, she finally managed to bring the price down to a relatively reasonable range, allowing the stall owner to make a profit while also making herself feel that the price was good value for money.

After agreeing on the price, Ye Qingchen smiled with satisfaction and then had her attendants carefully move the bones onto the carriage. The stall owner, seeing Ye Qingchen's generosity, was secretly pleased. While helping to arrange the bones, he said to Ye Qingchen, "Miss, you're such a straightforward person! Customers like you are rare. If you need anything else in the future, just come to me, and I'll definitely reserve the best for you."

Ye Qingchen smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay, thank you, boss. I trust your reputation, and I will definitely come back again if I need anything in the future." After saying that, she turned and boarded the carriage, leaving the market with the joy of a successful business.

At this moment, Yelü Fengqi walked to Ye Qingchen's side and said, "Sister Ye, you've really had a fruitful trip. But, do you really think you can use all these bones?" Ye Qingchen smiled confidently and said, "Brother Yelü, these bones are very useful. I can use them to make medicine and help more people. Moreover, studying these bones will greatly help improve my medical skills." Upon hearing this, Yelü Fengqi couldn't help but look at Ye Qingchen with new respect, secretly admiring her medical skills and kindness.

The three continued strolling through the market. Ye Qingchen was particularly delighted, having acquired so many precious medicinal herbs. They wandered around for a long time, sampling various local snacks and enjoying the captivating performances of street artists. Only when the sun set and the crowds gradually dispersed did they reluctantly leave the market and begin their journey home. This day's trip to the market was indeed well worth it.
