In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, farmers who are busy working for a living have changed out of new clothes and put on old clothes from past work to work hard for the family's livelihood.

In the backing village, Li was leading all the men in the village to build the courtyard wall. The women did not dare to delay. Jars after jars of pickled vegetables were pickled, and the yard was filled with dried vegetables.

Shen Nan took Xu Qi and rushed to the town again.

Since the snow stopped a year ago, the temperature has slowly risen. Now they don't need to wear winter clothes at all when they go out. They only need to put on a thick coat outside. The warm sun is shining, and they are even a little hot.

Qigong's ox cart was requisitioned by the village. Like the Li Zheng family's ox cart, all the villagers paid for the ox cart.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, before it was still dark, Shen Nan went to Qi Gong's house, spent money to rent an ox cart for a day, and rushed to the town with Xu Qi.

They were going to sell ginseng. They decided to go to the medical clinic in the town to ask. If the price was not high, they immediately rushed to the county town to sell the ginseng at a high price.

When the two arrived in the town, their genius was bright.

If people eat whole grains, they will definitely get sick. No, in the third year of junior high school, the door of the medical center is wide open.

When Shen Nan walked into the Medical Spring Hall, the boy next to him immediately greeted him. When he saw two girls, he asked with a smile: "Are the two girls seeing a doctor or buying medicine?"

Shen Nan shook his head and looked inside the medical center. Seeing people's heads moving inside, he asked, "I wonder if the person in charge of your medical center is here?"

When the boy heard this, he looked at the two of them carefully and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean, girl?"

Xu Qi was not as good-tempered as Shen Nan, so he immediately shot towards the waiter with a cold look. The waiter was so frightened that he shrank his neck and ran to the back hall unwillingly.

After about a cup of tea, an old doctor with a gray beard opened the curtain and walked straight towards the two of them. When he got there, he slowly asked: "Do you two have anything important to do?"

"Old doctor, can you please take a moment to speak." Shen Nan said respectfully.

The doctor saw that the table for them was clean, tidy, and polite, so he simply took them to the back hall and asked the boy to pour tea for them before leaving.

Shen Nan did not drink the cup of tea, but Xu Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Jade cascara tea, take an appropriate amount of cassia cascara, along with jujube, wolfberry, leucoderma, and Nanqiao. It can replenish qi and blood and nourish the body." It has a calming effect on the mind.”

When the old doctor heard this, he knew that the little girl in front of him understood medicine, so he was not as arrogant as before.

Shen Nan glanced at Xu Qi appreciatively, and then motioned for her to take out the ginseng.

Xu Qi did as he was told and carefully took out the wrapped ginseng. When he opened the cotton cloth in front of him, the old doctor was no longer calm. He carefully stroked the ginseng beard and praised repeatedly: "Good ginseng, good ginseng, look. The year is around two hundred years old, the roots are intact, and it is truly top quality."

This was what Shen Nan was waiting for, and he immediately asked: "I wonder if the doctor can collect this ginseng here?"

The doctor nodded hurriedly, "I'll take it, of course I'll take it. I wonder how much the girl is asking for it?"

Shen Nan looked at Xu Qi and signaled that she would be the one to negotiate. Xu Qi received the instructions from his lady and immediately negotiated terms with the doctor.

"What do you think, doctor?"

The doctor just knew that Xu Qi understood medical science, so he didn't dare to quote randomly. After thinking about it, he chose a compromise price, "800 taels."

Xu Qi quickly shook his head: "Doctors also know how much money a hundred-year-old ginseng with such good quality would be worth if placed in Ning'an County or even Jizhou Prefecture. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold can't buy a good heart. As long as you have a way, get this ginseng If it is sold to people in need, that is a net profit.”

The old doctor naturally knew this truth, but he also wanted to make more money. Unexpectedly, he was easily seen through by the other party. Knowing that the other party was not easy to deceive, he gritted his teeth and quoted a price of one thousand, four hundred taels.

Hearing this, Xu Qi still shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the price, so he advised: "Miss, let's go to Xinglin Zhai and ask!"

After hearing this, Shen Nan stood up immediately, as if he had made up his mind. The old doctor hurriedly stopped the two of them, gritted his teeth, and quoted the price of 800 taels.

Shen Nan turned his head and saw the pained and regretful expression on the other person's face. Knowing that this must be the highest price the other party could offer, he thought about it and decided to sell the ginseng to him.

Seeing that the other party agreed, the old doctor put the ginseng into the inner room, then went to get the silver himself, counted it clearly and handed it to Shen Nan.

Shen Nan counted the money, confirmed that the amount was correct, and said goodbye to the doctor with a smile.

The doctor immediately pulled Xu Qi and whispered: "If you get such good medicinal materials again in the future, you must come to our medical spring hall first."

Xu Qi smiled and nodded, as if he had made an agreement with the other party.

"Doctor, if that's the case, can we buy some medicinal materials at the hospital so that she can practice her skills?" Shen Nan pointed at Xu Qi and said, she looked like a doting elder sister.

Hearing that someone was giving such expensive medicinal materials to a little girl to practice, the doctor said in his heart that she was too extravagant, but there was absolutely no reason not to do the business that was delivered to his door, so he turned around and ordered the young man to get medicine for them, while he went back to the inner room.

The old doctor returned to the inner room, looked at the century-old ginseng plant, and immediately called the young apprentice in the backyard, and went to the apprentice's house to call everyone back to guard the medical center.

In the evening, he would take his escort to rush the ginseng to Jizhou Prefecture.

Shen Nan leaned into Xu Qi's ear and said: "Think about the diseases we usually suffer from, and prepare medicinal materials according to those diseases. In addition, you also need to buy some common medicinal materials that you think you need. Just buy them. I will give you the money." Come pay, go ahead.”

Hearing this, Xu Qi nodded solemnly.

Xu Qi had already smelled something sensitive about the movements in the village and the behavior of their family during the recent period. Therefore, after hearing the lady's words, he immediately carefully selected the medicinal materials and bargained with the clerk. In the end, he spent more than 90 taels of silver on the medicinal materials. .

Although this sounds like a lot, it is completely dwarfed by the income just now, so neither of them blinked, but the little boy was wiping sweat while packing the medicine, and looked at the two of them from time to time.

"Stop wiping, the sweat has dripped in." Xu Qi put her hands on her hips and looked at the young man with disgust.

"Yes, yes, hehe." Hearing this, the boy immediately looked away and concentrated on packing the medicine.

Shen Nan naturally had to store such expensive medicine in the space, otherwise she would be heartbroken if the medicinal materials wrapped in paper would become damp after being left outside for a few days.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Nan immediately put the remaining silver notes, silver ingots, and copper plates into the pocket (space) of his coat, and then took Xu Qi to the street to buy food.

When she was buying food, she had tight money before, and she only managed to stock up on less than a thousand kilograms intermittently. Now that she has money on hand, she naturally wants to start stocking up.

She first went to the grain store and ordered five thousand kilograms of white rice and two thousand kilograms of white flour from the shopkeeper. She also ordered one thousand kilograms each of brown rice and black flour. In addition, she ordered several hundred kilograms each of various beans. A total of one hundred catties of brown sugar and rock sugar.
