Chapter 16 Rejuvenation Hall
Only after watching his father and brother enter the grocery store did Shen Li walk towards Huichuntang.
Business in the clinic is pretty good, and several waiters are busy dispensing medicine.
"Girl, do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?"
A servant came forward with a polite smile on his face, and did not look down on Shen Li because of the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing that were washed so much that they looked bleached.
Shen Li lifted the cloth on the basket and asked, "Do you want to take this?"
The Ganoderma lucidum was placed in the space as soon as it was picked, and it is still very fresh.
When the waiter saw such a big Ganoderma lucidum, he invited Shen Li to the backyard. It’s not that Ganoderma lucidum is precious, but Ganoderma lucidum as big as a palm is indeed rare.
This kind of Ganoderma lucidum can only be found deep in the mountains, and only herbalists who collect herbs all year round know where it can be found.
"Wait a moment, young lady. I'll go get our shopkeeper to come over."
The waiter poured Shen Li a cup of tea and left to invite the shopkeeper.
Soon, a shopkeeper with a slightly plump figure and a mustache came in.
"Girl, are you going to sell Lingzhi?"
Shen Li pushed the basket over. There were three big Ganoderma lucidum in the basket, and the rest of the small ones were still in the space.
The shopkeeper with a moustache picked up a Ganoderma lucidum. There was moist soil underneath it, which meant it must have been picked not long ago.
There is no problem with the appearance, the shopkeeper looked at the calm girl in front of him.
"Girl, this Ganoderma lucidum is pretty good. Just name a price and we'll take it."
Shen Li raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly said, "Boss, you are an expert, name a price, if it's okay we can do the deal, if not then forget it."
The shopkeeper with a mustache had a smile on his face. "Miss, although your three Ganoderma lucidum are more than four years old, their medicinal properties are well preserved and extremely rare. How about we at Huichuntang selling them for eight taels of silver each?"
The reason why he was able to give so much silver is because the Ganoderma lucidum is really big.
Shen Li tapped the table lightly. She didn't expect that one Ganoderma lucidum could be sold for eight taels of silver.
When the shopkeeper saw that Shen Li didn't say anything, he thought she felt her price was too low.
"Miss, our Huichuntang is a century-old shop. We will not do anything that would ruin our reputation. Don't worry."
Shen Li came back to her senses, "Okay, let's do as the shopkeeper says."
Shen Li walked out of Huichun Hall with 24 taels of silver in her pocket. Judging from the expressions on her father and brother's faces just now, she estimated that food prices had started to rise. She had to stock up more food while the prices were not high.
In the grocery store, Shen Changshan bought salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and some small items for the home.
When he walked out of the grocery store, only one tael of the three taels of silver he had brought with him was left.
Shen Li walked up to Shen Changshan and handed him the bag. Shen Changsheng opened it and immediately put it in his arms.
"Girl, where are you from?"
"I exchanged it for Lingzhi to buy food."
Shen Changshan asked Shen Qian'an to drive the ox cart forward, "My daughter, shall we go buy other things first and come back to buy food later?"
Shen Li nodded, and Shen Changshan went to buy other things before returning to the grocery store.
She asked him if he felt embarrassed about the money that Hua Guinu gave him.
Sorry, he doesn't have that idea.
Hey, his daughter can earn money now.
However, he would remember how much money Shen Li had spent and would return it to his daughter later.
Shen Li saw the meat stall and reached out to tug at Shen Changshan's clothes.
Shen Changshan also saw it and immediately understood what Shen Li meant. He parked the ox cart. Shen Li and Shen Qian'an had already arrived in front of the meat stall.
There was still a lot of meat on the stall. Shen Li ordered a piece of pork with more fat, two pounds of pork belly, two pounds of front leg meat, and half a rack of ribs.
Shen Changshan, who was standing behind him, was shaking a little. He met the butcher's questioning eyes and nodded, "Just do as my daughter said."
The butcher smiled as he cut the pork belly. There were 8 jin of pork, at 28 wen per jin, for a total of 224 wen.
The butcher smiled and handed two ribs to Shen Li, "I like your daughter, so I'll use them to make some tonic food!"
Shen Li took it cheerfully, "Thank you, uncle."
The ox cart slowly walked towards the grain store, "Dad, let's eat dumplings tonight!"
Shen Changshan felt the silver across his chest and nodded with gritted teeth. The money was earned by his daughter, and she could spend it however she wanted.
Shen Qian'an looked at his younger sister and saw that her eyes were narrowed, which showed that she was in a good mood. He smiled and didn't say anything about his sister's request.
When he arrived at the grain store, Shen Changshan bought ten stone of brown rice, one stone of sorghum, and one stone of corn. Then, remembering that Ali wanted to eat dumplings tonight, he gritted his teeth and bought two pounds of fine flour.
After giving out two ingots of five taels of silver, the clerk gave out copper coins in change with a smile.
"Brother, do you have any grain seeds?"
Shen Li suddenly remembered that she had not planted anything in her space, which was such a waste.
"Yes, here, what kind of seeds do you want?"
Shen Li asked for one pound of high-quality rice seeds, one pound of ordinary rice seeds, and one pound of wheat seeds.
"The best rice seeds are 80 wen per jin, the rice seeds are 40 wen per jin, and the wheat seeds are 60 wen per jin, a total of 180 wen."
Shen Changshan took out the copper coins that were still hot from his arms, counted out 180 and handed them to the waiter.
Shen Li and her group walked out of the grain store under the enthusiastic gaze of the waiters.
Now I go back, with the grain store's ox cart following behind me. I bought so much grain and they helped deliver it to my home.
When they were almost at the village, Shen Li asked Shen Changshan, "Dad, is there any secluded road to get home?"
"Yes, but it's not easy to walk."
At a fork in the road, Shen Changshan drove the ox cart onto a small path nearby. Quarters of an hour later, the ox cart finally arrived at the gate of a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The guy driving the cart at the back had a green face. He didn't understand why this family chose to take the small road instead of the main road.
Lin Cuicui and Shen Jingyuan heard the noise inside and came out. Soon, all the food was unloaded.
Shen Changshan gave five copper coins to the oxcart driver and said, "My dear, my humble abode is simple. Take these and have some tea."
The boy driving the ox cart left happily.
Shen Li glanced at her father. He was quite a smart guy. Why did he treat the people in the old house like a slave before?
Is it the power of the plot?
Lin Cuicui and the other two were not idle at home. They were cleaning the cellar.
There was a cellar in the yard. It was made of solid materials and didn't collapse at all. The father and his two sons rolled up their sleeves and went in to work.
Shen Li returned to the room where she kept her things, put the grain seeds she had bought into the space, and would go in to sow them at night.
This way you don't have to buy food.
"Mom, let's make dumplings for dinner. Fill them with shepherd's purse and pork."
Lin Cuicui, who had originally been thinking of just having a meal in the evening, looked at her daughter's shining eyes and couldn't say the word "refuse".
"Okay, go dig shepherd's purse."
"Ok!"
Shen Li ran very fast with a sickle and a basket. After Lin Cuicui saw the meat they bought, she chopped a big bone to make soup, and then started cutting the fat to make lard.
Shen Li squatted at the foot of the mountain and dug wild vegetables. She didn't need to pick them because they were all very tender.
In a short while, they had dug a full basket.
"Yo, who is this?"
"Ali, why are you digging wild vegetables?"
"Is there not enough food?"
"Poor thing!"
Grandma Shen and He Laidie, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, asked and answered questions very well, and Shen Li didn't need to speak at all.
