Qin Niu listened and chuckled to himself, "The human heart is never content, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
The shop owner couldn't sell it for sixty Silver Money, and if he held onto it for another ten years, he'd probably be happy to get fifty Silver Money for it.
Now that he sold it for sixty Silver Money, he felt as if he had lost twenty Silver Money instead, and it pained his heart.
Paying sixty Silver Money for a herbal compendium, even if it was written by a master like Mo Yang, to the average person, it was just so-so.
As Qin Niu said, it was merely a curiosity to most people.
Sixty Silver Money could equal the wages of an average person for twenty years. Who among the common folk would be willing to spend that much?
The value of this book also depended on who possessed it.
In the eyes of Qin Niu, its value was worth far more than a thousand gold pieces.
