The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 34 Wait for me

Of course, she would plant whatever was expensive. Making money slowly was not her style. She would rather not use such a good cheating tool.

"Yes! We have restaurants all over the country of Dai Viet. If you provide a lot of things and I can't use them all here, I can ship them to the surrounding restaurants to share."

"As for fruits, the geology here in Dai Viet is quite hard, so the fruits grown here are relatively simple. They're either apples, pears, or melons."

"The vegetables are all common ones. There is no difference. It is spring now and there is no shortage of vegetables. It is mainly because when the weather is cold, vegetables are more scarce and the price is higher."

There was no need for Shopkeeper Jiang to lie to her, as what Sheng Wanqiu said was what she had learned from her previous shopping trip.

"By the way, wait for me a moment." After saying that, Shopkeeper Jiang ran to the counter and started rummaging around, finally taking out two small cloth bags.

"This was left behind by a merchant from Tianqi last time. He said it was some kind of seed. I'm giving it to you now. Take it home and try planting it!"

Shopkeeper Jiang placed two small cloth bags on the table. Sheng Wanqiu took them and opened them. After careful identification, she could only recognize three kinds of things: one was grape seeds, one was loofah seeds, and one looked like pomegranate seeds. She really couldn't recognize what the other five were.

Only when you go home and try it, you will know what it is.

"The merchant from Tianqi said that the seeds were brought from overseas, and they didn't have any over there. He didn't have enough money for wine that day, so he used these seeds to pay for half of the wine."

When Shopkeeper Jiang said this, he still had a painful expression on his face. These few packets of broken seeds actually paid for three taels of silver for his wine, and he was so heartbroken.

"Then I would like to thank Shopkeeper Jiang. I will take these seeds back to study them. If I find anything good, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Sheng Wanqiu carefully put the two small cloth bags into the small cloth bag she was carrying.

The prey was weighed here, totaling a little over thirty-six taels of silver. Sheng Wanqiu took thirty-five taels and returned the remaining one tael of silver.

"Please have a drink, Manager Jiang. I'll leave first!" Sheng Wanqiu said with a smile.

"You are just being polite, girl. Just call me Uncle Jiang from now on." Shopkeeper Jiang took the silver promptly without any refusal.

"Then Uncle Jiang, I'll leave first!" Sheng Wanqiu said goodbye again.

"Since you call me uncle, take this with you and eat it on your way back!" Shopkeeper Jiang stuffed a food box into her hands with an expression that did not allow for refusal.

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Jiang." Sheng Wanqiu also smiled and thanked him generously, and Manager Jiang saw her out.

"By the way, girl, I forgot to tell you, if you have any wild delicacies, I will buy them as well." Shopkeeper Jiang remembered this when he saw her getting into the car and preparing to leave.

"Okay, Uncle Jiang, I'll remember it!"

Sheng Wanqiu raised the bamboo pole and the donkey immediately carried her forward.

"Mom, look, it's that damned girl Sheng Wanqiu. She went to Songhe Restaurant!"

At the corner of the street, Bai Jiang and her daughter Bai Xiaolian stood in front of a cake stall, watching Sheng Wanqiu drive past in a donkey cart. The food box in her arms was very conspicuous, and Bai Xiaolian took a close look at it.

Why could she go to Songhe Restaurant while she could only eat the cheapest pastries at the roadside stalls? Bai Xiaolian's face darkened as she bit her back teeth tightly, looking at the donkey cart with resentment in her eyes.

"Others dare to go up the mountain to hunt, do you dare?"

"If you don't dare, stop whining here! Do you want to eat or not? If not, leave!"

Bai Jiang was already annoyed because her youngest son was clamoring for meat, and now when they got to town, her daughter was hungry and wanted cakes. All she did was spend money and had no ability to make money. Sooner or later, this family would be ruined.

Bai Xiaolian heard her mother's impatient words and could only shut up unwillingly. There were so many people on the road that Sheng Wanqiu didn't even notice the two of them. She drove the donkey cart to Xinglin Pavilion.

After parking the car and entering the shop, I saw the old man Ding Dali sleeping on a rattan chair.

"Old man, did you go out to be a thief last night? Why are you sleeping in broad daylight?"

"How can you run a business like this? I think your pharmacy will go bankrupt sooner or later!"

Sheng Wanqiu teased in a playful tone while knocking on the counter.

When Ding Dali heard the voice, he knew who it was. He immediately opened his eyes and jumped up, smiling like a cunning old fox.

This little girl is his god of wealth. He has earned more than 10,000 taels of silver for nothing. He cannot neglect her. If she doesn't come to him for good things in the future, he will suffer a great loss.

"Do you have any good stuff today? Take it out and let me see it." Ding Dali rubbed his hands excitedly. He thought Sheng Wanqiu was here to sell something.

"I'm not here to sell things today, I'm here to buy things." Sheng Wanqiu shrugged and looked at Ding Dali with a smile.

Suddenly the smile on the old man's face froze. Well, his happiness was in vain.

"What do you need? I'll tell you in advance. I asked for the seeds you mentioned last time, but the other party hasn't replied yet. If you want seeds, I don't have any."

"Cinnamon, star anise, fennel, cardamom, tangerine peel, hawthorn, bay leaf, sand ginger, white cardamom, peppercorns, these should be there!"

"Weigh me one pound, I'm useful!"

"What's this recipe? Who's sick?"

Ding Dali heard her name a bunch of Chinese medicines like a dish, and thought someone in her family was sick. Why was she buying them by the pound? Was she going to eat them or take a bath?
"Why are you asking so many questions? It's not poison, just give it to me if you have it!"

"Hurry up, I'm still waiting to go home!"

Sheng Wanqiu rolled her eyes. Why did this old man have so many questions? It was not like he didn’t want to pay.

"I have everything you want, but there are a few things I don't have in stock. Since they're getting the medicine from me, I have to ask more questions. What if someone gets sick from taking it and comes to trouble me? That would ruin my reputation!"

"Do you really need to ruin your sign? No one is coming into the store, hurry up!"

"If you don't have a pound, give me half a pound. Don't worry, I promise that I won't bother you even if something goes wrong. Okay!"

Sheng Wanqiu glanced around the shop with a look of disgust, which made Ding Dali want to jump up and hit someone.

"Okay, little aunt, I'll get it for you right away!"

Ding Dali snorted coldly, turned around to get the medicine, and then weighed it and packed it in packages.

Sheng Wanqiu stood in front of the counter and stared at the old man. Although the old man was old, his hands and feet were very dexterous.

He was clattering on the abacus and mumbling something to himself, but no one knew what he was saying.

"It's three ounces and four cents of silver in total. You give me three ounces, but you have to tell me what you're going to do with all this money."
