Manbao also took the opportunity to promote herself, "I can recognize many other herbs as well."
"Oh, what other herbs can you recognize?"
Manbao hopped off the chair, ran out, and brought back a dirty yam for him to see, "Look!"
The shopkeeper looked at the long piece of yam in amazement, then glanced at Manbao, and asked, "Did you dig this up?"
"No, it was my brothers who dug it up!"
Not yours to be proud of, right?
The shopkeeper said, "You recognize yam?"
Manbao replied, "I do."
Manbao had recently seen many attractive illustrations in a herbal medicine book, which she had memorized, so she began counting off on her fingers to the shopkeeper, "I've seen astragalus, licorice, and even ginseng; but what I like the most are red dates."
The shopkeeper simply started chatting with her, asking, "Why?"
"Because the book says red dates are sweet and crunchy, and I like to eat sweet fruit."
"Do you have a herbal book at home?"
