Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Selling Pearls at Mu’s Clinic Cuijing Pavilion was out of the question, so Yang Chuxia thought for a while and went to Mu’s Clinic owned by the Mu Family with Yang Dachuan. Indeed, Mu’s Clinic did not disgrace its name. From the shopkeeper to the young apprentices who dispensed the medicine, everyone was courteous from beginning to end, which made Yang Chuxia’s anger subside considerably. "Young lady, I heard you want to sell some pearls?" The amiable shopkeeper of Mu’s Clinic smiled and said, "Are you sure you’re not at the wrong place? Pearls should naturally be sold at jewelry shops." "Shopkeeper, I am certainly not at the wrong place." With the shopkeeper being amiable, Yang Chuxia naturally stopped being prickly and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, these pearls can not only be used for ornaments. I’ve heard that many doctors use them in medicine. Even some ladies and young masters from wealthy families like to drink pearl powder for their complexion. That’s why I came here to ask." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper stroked his beard with a smile, pondered for a moment, and said, "The young lady is right. Indeed, many doctors do add pearls to their medicine, and many doctors have come around looking for them. However, keep in mind that only the finest pearls can be used for medicine, while ordinary pearls are rarely used." In fact, with these words, the shopkeeper was also rejecting Yang Chuxia’s offer. There were quite a few fishermen in the villages under the county town who could get their hands on pearls. However, those were just ordinary pearls, and even larger ones were not special. That was why the shopkeeper thought that Yang Chuxia and Yang Dachuan were simply fishermen from below, and the pearls they had were probably just ordinary ones. "Shopkeeper, what I have here is not some common stuff." As she said that, Yang Chuxia took out the black pearl from her bosom. However, she only took out one of them, the smaller one. Even so, she still saw the surprise and delight in the shopkeeper’s eyes. "Shopkeeper, what do you think of this pearl?" Yang Chuxia shook the pearl in her hand, fearing that the shopkeeper would not see it clearly, and deliberately brought it a little closer, "This is a black pearl. Look at its texture, color, smoothness, and translucency. There isn’t a single flaw. It’s the best of the best." That’s right, it was indeed the best. The shopkeeper knew it from the moment Yang Chuxia took it out. His heart suddenly rejoiced. The young master of the Mu Family had sent someone to spread the word and asked him to keep an eye out for black pearls along the coast. If he found any, he must buy them, no matter the cost. He had been on the lookout ever since. He had even sent people to watch the various beaches just to get the information as soon as possible. But after more than a month, there was no sign of any black pearls. The young master was blaming him, and he was considering hiring people to dive into the sea to search for them. But now, someone had delivered one right to his door. Finally, he could complete the task assigned to him by the young master. "Young lady, you are right. This is indeed a good pearl. How do you plan to sell it? Give us a reasonable price, and our pharmacy will buy it." Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper, to tell the truth, my father and I don’t know much about the market price of these precious pearls and jewels. However, considering that Mu’s Clinic, such a big medicinal shop, has such a good business, it must be because your prices are fair and you don’t engage in dishonest practices. Otherwise, your business would not be so big. So why don’t you just give us a reasonable price?" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper thought to himself that the young lady was eloquent. With the way she put it, if he didn’t give a reasonable price, it would be like damaging his own reputation.
