Manbao took out a piece of silver from her purse and placed it on the table, saying, "I want to buy with money, so the herbalists don't have to come into the city themselves. If you find the fresh herbs I need, just have someone bring them to me. I will pay. Two plants or pieces of fresh herbs will count as one batch, and I'll buy one batch as a kilogram of processed herbs."
Shopkeeper Zheng looked at Manbao in surprise, "This is not cheap, some herbs are particularly expensive. Why do you always think about using raw herbs?"
Shopkeeper Zheng said, "You are a doctor, not a herbalist, and certainly not a herbal farmer. You only need to know how to distinguish processed herbs."
However, Manbao shook her head, "But what if one day there are no processed herbs for you to use? You would have to go gather and process them yourself. The Ji family has been doing this for three generations."
