Lin Fei delivered the vegetables to the hospital cafeteria. Seeing that there was still over half an hour before his shift began, he took the fleece-flower root to the largest herbal medicine shop in town.
Fortunately, the shop opened quite early, and the owner, Boss Zhao, was quite surprised to see the fleece-flower root Lin Fei brought. As someone knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine, he could tell at a glance that the pair of roots Lin Fei had were genuine, high-quality wild specimens.
However, Boss Zhao was only willing to help Lin Fei find a buyer; he didn't dare purchase them himself. After all, such rare items were difficult to sell, as it was hard to find people who both recognized their value and truly needed them. Worried that he might get stuck with the expensive stock if he bought it, Boss Zhao negotiated with Lin Fei: he would be responsible for finding a buyer and would simply take a commission once the deal was made.
