"Is it really that profitable to plant medicinal herbs?"
Third Uncle has read books and is far more knowledgeable than the people of the Liu family, but regarding the matter of herbs, he's completely clueless.
After all, scholars mostly engage in rhetoric and are often not very practical...
To make him understand how large the profit margins are in herbs, he truly doesn't know!
If it were the usual times, he would certainly gloss over it to save face and talk about something else, but money was mentioned… Why do people study? Isn't it for exams to become an official in the future?
And why become an official? For money!
With money, one can make even the devil work for you, a principle even children know, so Third Uncle naturally understands, and at this moment, he sets aside his pride to humbly seek advice.
"Whether it's profitable or not, how would I know? I'm just asking if you can afford to go to the medicine shop?"
