Kapitel 65: Chapter 66 "Burning Money"
Li Shi Ying thought that doctor, pharmacist and alchemist must be a job which always burn money everywhere. Just imagine to make a simple medicine in shape of a liquid, at least they need 2 kind of medical herb. Well won't that be 30 silver coins already?
No wonder those profession always came from a rich family or high ranked official family. Normal citizen couldn't even afford a single stalk of the cheapest herb in this store!
If she still worked as a maidservant in General Meng house then she needed to save all her salary for 5 month to be able to buy the cheapest herb inside this 'Hundred Herb Hall'.
Li Shi Ying suddenly recalled the clothes she bought. Even a normal quality clothes cost 5 silver coin. So how could a peasant and normal citizen afford clothes??
Actually normal citizen often bought clothes not in a shop but in free market. The clothes there were very cheap but the quality was also bad. People from normal family usually wore the same clothes for a year. They washed the clothes every day and wore it the next day.
That was how normal people who worked as a servant or a small merchant live. Li Shi Ying was too ignorant because in her previous world she never bought clothes from market. Also the price in her country was relative more cheap compared to the other western country.
In this light novel "XXX" world, the money currency was similar with that used in US. So it was normal for Li Shi Ying to feel that every single thing in this world was more expensive.
These herbs gathered in 'Hundred Herb Hall' was collected by normal citizen who had a job to collect herb and sold it to every medicine store in the capital.
Influental family would always had a supplier directly from those people who collected medical herb. But nowadays, the herb sold in 'Hundred Herb Hall' was better in quality than their supplier.
'Hundred Herb Hall' had a special method to preserve their medical herb so that the quality won't drop even if they store it for a certain period of time.
This was why many people choose to buy medical herb in 'Hundred Herb Hall'.
10 minutes later.
The shopkeeper ran lightly toward Jiu Wei and Li Shi Ying who was busy studying the herb.
"Excuse me young master this is all your order" The shopkeeper very thoughtfully wrapped the medical herb with a special paper and placed it inside a wooden box.
Jiu Wei didn't even check inside the box as he handed the box to Li Shi Ying to be kept inside Mao Mao spatial space.
Li Shi Ying looked around cautiously before storing the medical herb inside her spatial purse. She didn't want to arouse unwanted trouble by exposing her spatial purse which was Mao Mao special ability.
"The total is 2 gold coin plus 80 silver, young master" The shopkeeper very politely asked Jiu Wei to pay for his medical herb.
When Li Shi Ying heard the total price, she nearly fainted inside the store. WHAATTT?? 2 Gold coin and 80 silver coins? Jiu Wei only buy 6 pieces of medical herb and it were only 2 kind of herb! How could it be that expensive??
Doesn't it mean that the cost for 1 stalk of pain killer grass and 5 pieces of ginseng was at least 2000 US dollar?
But it was only Li Shi Ying who had such feeling. Jiu Wei was very calm about this. His expression didn't even change for the slightest. Jiu Wei tossed 3 gold coins to the shopkeeper in a calm manner.
The shopkeeper hurriedly went to the cashier and gave the change 20 silver coins to Jiu Wei. Jiu Wei tossed 5 silver coins to the shopkeeper and said "Keep this"
Jiu Wei action was very cool in Li Shi Ying eyes. How rich ah! 5 silver coins as a mere tip! It was more than her monthly salary as a maidservant!!
What Li Shi Ying didn't know was that even the cheapest medicine liquid cost at least 1 gold coin. So for Jiu Wei 1 gold coin was nothing. Moreover 5 silver coins. It was seen as a dirt in Jiu Wei eyes!
Well Jiu Wei only cared about his money when Li Shi Ying used it. Although 5 silver coins were considered cheap for Jiu Wei, he was very afraid with Li Shi Ying capability to spend money like water.
In order to 'educate' his mistress, Jiu Wei would be cruel enough to not giving her any pocket money.
Li Shi Ying now looked at Jiu Wei with a new light. The fox in front of her wasn't only a good doctor, a strong bodyguard and a nanny! He was actually a walking bank!
Li Shi Ying eyes shone like a wolf eyeing its prey. Poor Jiu Wei suddenly had a goosebump all over his skin.
Jiu Wei hugged his hand as he thought "Why did i suddenly start shivering? Is it too cold here?" and so Jiu Wei gripped his fur cloak tighter to his body.
