After a morning's run, Yang Fan, lugging a high-piled cart of Codonopsis, slowly made his way to Old Zhou's shop.
Today he grew a bit greedy, the cart severely overloaded; he didn't dare to speed up, fearing a wreck that could destroy both the cart and him.
By the time he arrived, Old Zhou's shop was already surrounded by a large crowd of people.
After listening for a while, Yang Fan gathered that most were there to sell Codonopsis.
This herb had suddenly soared in price, and those street-hopping traders like him were the first batch to go mad.
Madly buying up stock, madly letting it go.
Although this had become a norm, seeing the swarming crowd still got Yang Fan somewhat depressed.
It looked like he wouldn't be able to speed things up today.
With so many people waiting to settle their accounts, it might take hours to get through.
Every few days, some herb would surge in price, creating a scene Yang Fan had already witnessed several times.
