Chapter 16 The Harsh Auntie

Hearing Li Chenfeng's inquiry, Li Qingfeng nodded and replied, "Elder Li, ten yuan per jin, I'm already giving you a great deal!"

"Thank you, Elder Li!"

"You're welcome, I feel a connection with you!"

Upon hearing Li Qingfeng's thanks, Li Chenfeng waved his hand casually, as if the money was insignificant.

After all, at the normal price, good quality Houttuynia cordata was only about six or seven yuan per jin.

Li Chenfeng was offering a purchasing price of ten yuan per jin, which barely made any profit.

"How about this, you have forty jin of Houttuynia cordata in total. I'll give you five hundred yuan, to make it a round number."

With that said, Li Chenfeng took out five red banknotes from his drawer and handed them to Li Qingfeng.

"Elder Li, you're too kind, Elder Li. I have more medicinal herbs to sell, you don't need to give me extra!"

"What else do you have to sell?"

Hearing his words, Li Chenfeng was very confused and looked at his back basket.

Only then did he realize that Li Qingfeng's back basket was divided into two layers. The upper layer was Houttuynia cordata, and there was another layer underneath.

"Put down your back basket!"

Saying to Li Qingfeng, Elder Li took the back basket again.

Looking at the layers upon layers of packaging inside, he asked Li Qingfeng curiously, "What kind of medicinal herbs are you carrying in here? Why is it so mysterious?"

Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

This meant he wanted Li Chenfeng to see for himself.

Seeing his reaction, Li Chenfeng was not only not angry, but became even more interested.

He opened the outer packaging, then the inner packaging, and finally discovered what was inside.

It turned out to be Radix Isatidis!

"This..."

"Why did you wrap the Radix Isatidis so tightly? This thing isn't worth much!"

Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng shook his head and said to him, "Elder Li, please take a closer look!"

"What else is there to look at? I, Li Chenfeng, have been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for so many years. If I don't even recognize this Radix Isatidis, I might as well not live!"

Judging by his expression, Li Chenfeng seemed a little annoyed, feeling that young Li Qingfeng was playing a trick on him.

"Elder Li, please look again!"

"Alright, alright, you can go. This old man doesn't have time to play with you!"

Perhaps due to Li Qingfeng's repeated requests, Li Chenfeng finally got angry and pushed him towards the exit, regardless of anything else.

Seeing his demeanor, Li Qingfeng also got a little annoyed. Without a word, he placed a Radix Isatidis on the counter and turned to leave the Chinese medicine shop.

"Stubborn old man!"

"Arrogant young man!"

These were the evaluations Li Qingfeng and Li Chenfeng had of each other at that moment.

Watching Li Qingfeng's retreating figure, Li Chenfeng returned to the counter and looked at the Radix Isatidis on top with a disdainful expression.

He casually picked it up to throw it aside, but at that moment, he noticed something different.

Why was this Radix Isatidis different?

He picked up the Radix Isatidis and began to examine it carefully.

For the first time as an old TCM practitioner, he studied this Radix Isatidis.

"My heavens, why is this Radix Isatidis so old? Is this reasonable?"

Thus, the empty Chinese medicine shop was filled with Li Chenfeng's astonished voice.

Thinking of this, Li Chenfeng quickly ran out, intending to chase after Li Qingfeng.

However, Li Qingfeng was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, he remembered the route Li Qingfeng had taken and followed it out.

Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng had already walked to the street opposite the Chinese medicine shop, looking at the stalls by the roadside, intending to find an empty spot to sell his Radix Isatidis.

Just as he was agonizing over not being able to find a stall, the crowd in front suddenly erupted in a commotion.

Hearing the commotion, Li Qingfeng hurried forward.

He saw many people forming a large circle, blocking the way. Seeing this, Li Qingfeng could only push his way inside with all his might.

"Hey, can't you watch where you're going! You pushed my child!"

As he pushed forward, a middle-aged woman suddenly spoke up.

Li Qingfeng turned his head in confusion and looked around the woman. He couldn't see any children around.

However, the woman's appearance was somewhat comical. She was wearing a luxurious outfit, but she held a small trinket from a street stall with a handkerchief, playing with it.

The overall impression Li Qingfeng had of her was pretentious!

He had no choice but to ask in confusion, "Auntie, where is your child? Although we are encouraging families to have three children, you are so old, can you still give birth?"

Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, the middle-aged woman appeared very displeased.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

"Can you even speak properly?"

Hearing the woman's unhappy tone, Li Qingfeng repeatedly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I tend to speak directly, please don't mind!"

Hearing his words, the middle-aged woman seemed speechless and could only point to the ground.

"Look for yourself, you pushed my child!"

"Do you know how precious my child is? If it gets hurt, I'll sell you to compensate you! You low-class country bumpkin!"

Li Qingfeng looked down and understood everything. He also understood why the middle-aged woman was so harsh.

The child she was referring to was a small Corgi. Seeing Li Qingfeng looking at it, it excitedly jumped up and barked.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

There were quite a few dogs around. Hearing the Corgi's barks, they all joined in.

It was quite like the Paw Patrol having a meeting!

Seeing this scene, Li Qingfeng burst into laughter.

"Hey, young man, you didn't apologize for pushing my child, and you're laughing?"

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Auntie, haha... well, I usually don't laugh, unless I absolutely can't help it!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Perhaps he really couldn't help it, Li Qingfeng burst into laughter.

While laughing, he didn't forget to say, "Auntie, that's a Corgi, not your child. You treat a Corgi as more precious than your own son. Did you give birth to this Corgi?"

Perhaps his words were too sharp, and the onlookers turned their heads.

Looking at the woman, they began to criticize her, "It's her, she looks down on us country folk!"

"Are city people great? Then why are you here?"

"Without us, you would have starved to death long ago!"

Hearing the accusations from the surrounding people, the middle-aged woman felt embarrassed to stay there.

The most outrageous thing was that even at this point, she was still being arrogant.

It was as if she felt superior to others because she came from the city. Therefore, these people taught her a harsh lesson.

Her prized Corgi had its fur secretly singed by someone selling a flamethrower.

Seeing the Corgi, now bald and ugly as a donkey, the middle-aged woman completely broke down.

Covering her eyes, she cried loudly and left.

Seeing this
