Chapter 10 Selling Spirit Rice

“Shopkeeper Cheng.”
Lin Jing walked into a store named Yu Ming Commerce.
After inquiring for several days, Lin Jing had learned that this store held a good reputation in Fang Market,
so for the first time selling his Spirit Rice, he chose Yu Ming Commerce.
Upon hearing the voice, a middle-aged man playing with an abacus behind the counter looked up.
Seeing Lin Jing approaching, Shopkeeper Cheng smiled.
“So it’s young master Lin. Have the Spirit Rice of your family matured and you wish to sell it?”
Lin Jing had visited this place two days ago and had a conversation with Shopkeeper Cheng, mentioning that his family wanted to sell some Spirit Rice.
Since it was the harvesting season for Spirit Rice, during this time, members from various families often came to sell their Spirit Rice.
However, seeing that Lin Jing came by himself, Shopkeeper Cheng assumed he was one of the significant people in charge of his family’s finances.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Cheng had no suspicions.
And, with the vast amount Lin Jing mentioned, the two had discussed it further and finally agreed on a price: one Spirit Stone for fifty jin of Spirit Rice.
This ratio was quite generous already.
“I’ve brought the Spirit Rice with me, where would Shopkeeper Cheng like to inspect the goods?”
“You’ve brought it?” Shopkeeper Cheng was surprised.
Seeing Lin Jing alone, he peered outside, but the street was empty with no ox-cart transporting Spirit Rice in sight.
“Right here,” Lin Jing said, shaking the Storage Bag at his waist.
“Oh…”
Shopkeeper Cheng suddenly realized.
“It seems I was right, young master Lin does hold an extraordinary position in the family.”
“Not only are you in charge of selling Spirit Rice, but the family has even provided you with a Storage Bag.”
After saying that, Shopkeeper Cheng immediately added a word of caution:
“Young master Lin, it’s best to be more careful in the future. It’s safe here in Fang Market, but outside it can be quite dangerous.”
“Especially since you’re carrying so much wealth. If someone targets you, at best they would rob you, but at worst, they could take your life.”
Shopkeeper Cheng knew Lin Jing’s cultivation wasn’t high and attributed his daring to come to Fang Market alone to his extraordinary courage and skill.
“Thank you for the reminder, Shopkeeper Cheng.”
“But you worry too much,” Lin Jing responded.
“I naturally came out with the elders of my family. It’s just that the elders have other matters to attend to, and they also intended to train my abilities.”
“Hence, only I came by myself.”
After Lin Jing finished speaking, Shopkeeper Cheng slapped his forehead.
“I was wondering…”
“That’s the reason.”
Shopkeeper Cheng then laughed.
“Hahaha, indeed, I worried too much.”
“Young master Lin, let’s go to the back courtyard. We have a grain storehouse there.”
Afterward, Shopkeeper Cheng called a clerk to mind the store.
“Young master Lin, please.”
Leading the way, Shopkeeper Cheng guided Lin Jing towards the back courtyard.
Arriving at the storehouse in the back courtyard, Lin Jing opened the Storage Bag and took out all the Spirit Rice inside.
“This is a total of two thousand jin. Please see what you think of the quality, Shopkeeper Cheng.”
“Young master Lin, please wait a moment,” said Shopkeeper Cheng.
Then he opened one of the sacks, reached in, and grabbed a handful of Spirit Rice.
He first inspected it closely, then smelled it, and finally picked a few grains to taste carefully in his mouth.
“Not bad, the quality is excellent.”
Having said that, Shopkeeper Cheng randomly chose several bags of Spirit Rice and inspected them one by one.
