"I know what you're trying to say, sir. These herbs haven't been properly dried yet. I've just dug them up from the mountain in the past few days. Today, I brought these to ask for the price, not intending to always bring half-dry herbs to sell. Besides, my family has been short of food and clothing recently."
Not waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Lin Caisang explained.
"Please feel free to quote a price, sir. In the future, I'll surely process the herbs properly before bringing them over to sell."
"Hmm, this young lady is quite straightforward."
The old man took another look at Lin Caisang and nodded with satisfaction.
"These herbs of yours are not of top grade, and they are not large in size either, so... the price... won't be high, you understand."
"I understand."
Lin Caisang didn't make a fuss. She nodded.
"The top-grade ones are at home, they need to be processed well before being sold. Otherwise, assessing their value would be difficult."
