Chapter 4 I Didn't Come To Make Trouble

Chen Xichun didn't take a break the whole day, except for a while at noon, when he went home and cooked some wild vegetables.

After digging for three days, I finally collected a certain amount.

Fortunately, she had dug these medicinal materials before and knew how to handle them. The sun was bright, so she could finish it in two days.

In the past few days, she had been eating green leafy vegetables every day, and she felt like she was turning green all over.

Today she planned to take all the prepared medicinal materials to the town and sell them, but she had not been out of the village for several years. She only heard about the situation in the town from her friends in the village.

"Xichun, where are you going?" Aunt Zhang, who lived next door to her, asked curiously when she saw that she was carrying a backpack and it didn't look like she was going up the mountain.

They were quite surprised that this girl could hold on for so many days and not go to the Ma family so stubbornly. She had told her family before that they didn't expect this girl to have such a stubborn temper.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm going to visit the town." Xichun explained with a smile when he saw that it was her and the person who had spoken to her before.

"Oh, wait a minute, I'm going to the town too. You haven't been there yet, right? I'll take you there once, and then you'll know the way."

Aunt Zhang came out soon with a basket full of eggs. They were reluctant to eat them on weekdays, but when they accumulated a certain amount, they took them to the town to sell.

Xichun was also worried about how to find the town, and she didn't have to worry about it now. However, the things she wanted to sell still needed to be kept secret. After all, they could be exchanged for life-saving rations, so she was not that big-hearted.

"What are you doing in town?"

"I dug some wild vegetables myself and wanted to see if anyone wanted them. If so, I could exchange them for some whole grains."

Chen Xichun said frankly, after all, no one in the village knew about his current situation.And she did dig up some fresh wild vegetables as a guise. At worst, if she couldn't sell them, she would just take them back and eat them herself.

"Oh, you kid, there are people who like these wild vegetables. They are everywhere in the fields. But I really forgot about this. I still have beans at home. I will get some for you when I come back. People who eat wild vegetables every day It’s uncomfortable.”

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, but I will make my own money. I can't rely on the villagers to support me in the future. I also want to make my own money."

"You are a brave kid, but these days, your family doesn't even have a piece of land. What can you eat? A girl goes out to look for work. I'm afraid she won't find it. Don't be brave. I'll do it when I get back. I’ll scoop a bowl for you, and you can eat it several times after cooking it.”

Aunt Zhang made the decision without any explanation, which made Xichun somewhat embarrassed.

The two chatted for a while and soon arrived in the town. Xichun calculated that it should have been an hour since they left.

Aunt Zhang had a regular place to sell eggs, but Xichun separated from her on the pretext that she wanted to try it elsewhere.

Xichun wandered the street for a long time and finally found a Baicaotang written in traditional Chinese.

"Brother, I want to ask if you collect medicinal materials here?" Xichun walked in and found that there was only one clerk dozing in front of the counter, so he had no choice but to wake him up.

"You little girl, get out quickly and don't make trouble." The clerk was having a sweet dream. At the critical moment, he was interrupted by Chen Xichun. Looking at her like this, she didn't look like she was here to buy medicine, so he wanted to chase her away. go out.

"I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to sell medicinal materials. I wonder if you will accept them here?"

Xichun thought, there are many drug stores that are chain stores. They have their own special purchasing channels, so they will not accept scattered medicinal materials. Today, I came to try this drug store.

"Oh, don't talk nonsense. You, a girl, can still make medicinal materials? Let me see?" The man looked at her firm look and said with some curiosity. "Look, see if this is a seven-leafed flower, is this a pinellia, and here are the chrysanthemums I picked."

She took out a little of each and showed it to the waiter in front of her. At first, the waiter thought she was bored and just talking casually, but he didn't know that her variety looked the same as what Dr. Xu made.

"You, wait here, I'll go to the backyard to find our doctor." Chen Xichun looked at the guy who opened the curtain and entered the backyard, and couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, this guy was a good person, otherwise he might have died.

"Are you the little girl who came to sell medicinal materials?" After a while, a middle-aged man came out and she stared at Chen Xichun.

"Hello, doctor, I'm here to sell medicinal materials. I wonder if you can buy them here?"

"Of course we charge it here. How much do you have? If it's just one or two sticks, it's hard for us to calculate the price." Doctor Xu saw that her tone of voice was a bit polite and said sternly.

"That's natural. Everything I brought this time is here. Can you see if it meets the requirements?"

"Well, that's good. Your family made it, so the quality is pretty good. The seven-leafed japonica is more expensive. We charge it at [-] cents per catty. Pinellia ternata is cheaper, at [-] cents per catty. , As for these chrysanthemums, we also purchase them ourselves, so I’ll give you thirty cents per catty.”

Doctor Xu looked at her after he quoted the price.

"Okay, let's go with this price. Please help us weigh it." She didn't have a scale at home, so she only gave an estimate.

I didn't expect that the market value of Aesculus aesculata is so high. It would be great if I could encounter it more often. Unfortunately, I don't always have such good luck.

"Your seven-leafed rhizome weighs two kilograms, pinellia three kilograms, and chrysanthemums eight kilograms. The total is nine hundred and ninety cents. Poria cocos, check out." Poria cocos refers to the clerk.

Doctor Xu immediately calculated the price. Xichun calculated it in his mind and found that it was indeed the price.

"Thank you, doctor. By the way, if I dig out other medicinal materials later, can I bring them over?"

"Of course you can, but it still depends on the quality. We accept everything except plantain." Although plantain is a medicinal material, it is indeed too common.

"Are you going to collect all the dandelions and purple flowers?"

"It's all accepted." Doctor Xu told her the price again.

"Thank you, doctor. If I dig it again, I will definitely send it to you." She was very happy. She had received nearly a thousand yuan at once, and finally she no longer had to eat wild vegetables every day.

In order to thank them, Chen Xichun gave them half of the wild vegetables she brought this time. These were the tenderest parts she carefully selected.

Now there are still small half-carrying baskets of wild vegetables. Chen Xichun decided to go out and try his luck. These medicinal materials are not found every day. Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. Now is the time when money is scarce, so all wild vegetables and medicinal materials must be grabbed.

She took the wild vegetables and shouted in the street for a long time, but no one paid attention to her. Many people thought the wild vegetables were not delicious, so they looked at them and shook their heads.

She found the place where Aunt Zhang was selling eggs, and saw that she was still bargaining with people.

"Xichun, your basket looks empty. Is there really someone buying these wild vegetables?" Aunt Zhang finally sold out her eggs and was surprised when she saw her basket.
