Chapter 225: 20-80 Split

This was the reason why Lin Yuelan wanted to test Lin Deshan. He would be tested on his greed and honesty!

If he passed the test, there would be long-term cooperation. If he failed, then Lin Yuelan had to make him pay the price for the betrayal!

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head again and asked, “girl, in that case, I accept the cooperation. But,” He said sharply, “I can’t guarantee that I can sell these things at the highest price, but I can only say that I will sell them at the fairest price!”

The customers of these precious herbs would be rich, but they were no fools. They wouldn’t buy them for hiked-up prices. Lin Yuelan had no objections. She understood Lin Deshan’s personality.

However, Lin Yuelan suddenly said, “shopkeeper Lin, there are some things that I must remind you.”

Shopkeeper Lin nodded. “Go ahead.”

Lin Yuelan said very seriously, “You can’t sell my herbs to three kinds of people. One, those who have done great evils. Two, those who oppress the public with their public authority. Three, those who use their power to rob and steal from their workers!”

These corresponded to the three classes: the commoners, the officials, and the people of power.

Lin Yuelan was no saint, but she’d never cooperate with evil people. She hated those arrogant officials who oppressed the public.

Shopkeeper Lin was in a difficult position when he heard this.

...

These medicine shops were like clinics. They had sworn to save everyone regardless of their identity and character.

However, if he followed Lin Yuelan’s three conditions, he would be in great trouble. It was fine to reject criminals, but he’d be punished if he turned away powerful aristocrats and officials.

As long as those people wanted it, they could seal up Lin’s medicine shop, which had been running for decades. Lin Deshan could be sent to jail too.

Shopkeeper Lin said, “Miss Lin, this is a little difficult. What if this makes me offend someone whom I can’t?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said firmly, “don’t worry, shopkeeper Lin. Since I can put forward this condition, I naturally have a way to prevent anything from happening to Lin’s medicine shop!”

Lin Deshan became even more suspicious. Lin Yuelan first said that she was working with him to find her master, but her relationship with Lin’s medicine hall had to be hidden. Then, Lin Yuelan said that she was confident nothing would happen to the medicine hall despite her harsh conditions. How could the girl be so confident?

Was it because she was related to the divine doctor and medical saint? Was that why she could speak so arrogantly and fearlessly even to those high-ranking officials, nobles, and powerful people?

Shopkeeper Lin could only agree for now. In his heart, he prayed, ‘I wish those people wouldn’t frequent my shop!’

Lin Yuelan and shopkeeper Lin had already reached an initial agreement. As for the contract, they had unanimously decided to sign it when the medicinal herbs were delivered next time.

This time, Shopkeeper Lin bought Lin Yuelan’s ginseng at a high price. Next time, Lin Yuelan would bring the herbs, and Lin’s Medicine Hall would sell them for her.

After Lin Yuelan came out of Lin’s medicine shop with five hundred taels of silver, little twelve came looking for her.

The two of them entered the medicine hall together, but little twelve was an astute person. He knew that Lin Yuelan and Shopkeeper Lin had something to discuss, so he went out to play.

When he saw Lin Yuelan coming out of the shop, he immediately ran over and said with a smile, “Miss Lin, you’re here!”

Lin Yuelan nodded to little twelve and said, “let’s go. We’ll buy some meat today.”

Recently, they had been eating a lot of meat but they were all wild game. Therefore, to change their diet, Lin Yuelan thought about buying some pork.

At the mention of buying meat, little twelve’s eyes lit up. He immediately asked excitedly, “Miss Lin, what are we having for dinner tonight?”
