Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me

Chapter 10 A bumpy journey to the city, carrying the spiritual ginseng.

The tractor rattled along the country road, and Chen Yuanbao, sitting in the back, held the old ginseng tightly, as if it were about to fly away with the bumps. But it was true, this was no ordinary ginseng; it was a ginseng that he had ripened with spiritual liquid.

The thought of it made him both excited and a little uneasy.

If he can sell this today, he'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life.

At the same time, he was also a little scared, worried that if no one recognized its value, wouldn't he have wasted his time?

"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now. Things will work themselves out. Let's get to the county town first..." Chen Yuanbao quickly stopped his chaotic thoughts.

Just then, the driver suddenly spoke up and asked, "Young man... are you going to the county seat on business?"

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was also bored, so he thought he would chat with the young man.

Chen Yuanbao, who was lost in thought, was startled by the sudden voice. He quickly hugged the ginseng in his hands tighter and replied perfunctorily, "Uh...yes, I'm going to the county town to sell some things."

"Selling something?" The driver thought to himself, "You've driven all this way just to sell something? What kind of thing do you have to go all the way to the county town to sell?" Thinking this, he casually asked, "What are you selling? Do we really have to go all the way to the county town?"

Chen Yuanbao was a little speechless after being bombarded with questions, mainly because he hadn't thought of an answer beforehand. He could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm going to sell some eggs, my own free-range eggs. Don't city people like these? Hehe..." He then gave a dry laugh.

egg?

The driver glanced at Chen Yuanbao in the rearview mirror, seemingly wanting to continue the conversation. But after hearing his answer, he figured Chen was probably not thinking straight, so he continued driving his tractor without asking any further questions.

Chen Yuanbao, however, had a completely different feeling. Without the driver's interference, he continued to fantasize about what it would be like to become rich.

Moreover, this was his first time in the city. Before this, he had no idea what the county town was like. In the past, when people from his village went to the county town, he could only watch them happily walk past his door, drooling as he watched their backs.

Things are different now. He's no longer just watching others move into the city; he's about to move into the county town himself.

He was happily lost in thought when the tractor arrived in the city.

The tractor stopped, and the driver jumped off, patting Chen Yuanbao, who was lost in thought. "Young man, young man, what are you thinking about? We're here, get off!"

Chen Yuanbao finally came to his senses and looked around, asking, "Have we arrived? Is this the county town?"

"Yes, we're in the county town now," the driver replied somewhat helplessly, then pointed to the side, "Look, this is the county town's vegetable market. You've never seen so many people before, have you?" The driver probably thought he was a little fool.

Chen Yuanbao got up and jumped out of the car. He looked around. The streets on both sides were lined with shops selling all sorts of things. People hurried past him, and cars drove by one after another. He opened his mouth slightly, looking like he had never seen anything like it before.

The driver, seeing his expression, jumped onto the tractor, shook his head with a smile, and continued driving away, chugging along.

Although the county town wasn't small, it was still quite large, incomparable to the provincial capital. However, for Chen Yuanbao, who was visiting the county town for the first time, it was enormous.

Because he spends all year in his Sanshui Village, compared to this place, this place is simply a dazzling world...

Chen Yuanbao patted the dust off his clothes from the tractor, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt that the air in the county town was different, with an indescribable smell.

There was the smell of gasoline from car exhaust, the aroma of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) from roadside stalls, and the various kinds of sesame oil and chili oil from the numerous food stalls...

Hmm...yes, it's the smell of liveliness, a smell he could never experience in the village.

Chen Yuanbao opened his eyes, still clutching his old ginseng tightly in his hand. He looked around again, then walked in the direction that Widow Liu had told him about at home.

That was the largest herbal medicine shop in the entire county, "Baicaotang".

He walked along, looking around, sweating profusely but not daring to stop and rest. What he was holding tightly in his arms was not like an old ginseng, but like a hot potato. It was too hot to throw away, so he could only hurry to find a suitable person to sell it to.

Finally, Chen Yuanbao arrived at the entrance of "Bai Cao Tang".

The storefront of "Baicaotang" is quite impressive. The three characters "Baicaotang" on the signboard are black with gold lettering, which looks very sophisticated. It can be seen from a distance. Moreover, the shop is located on the most bustling street in the county town, with people coming and going.

Chen Yuanbao looked at the largest herbal medicine shop in the entire county and thought, "Finally!" He glanced down at the ginseng in his arms, thinking he should hurry inside and sell it. He walked inside, lost in thought.

Just then, a man wearing a vest stopped him. He looked like a staff member of the store, a young man in his early twenties.

He reached out to stop Chen Yuanbao, saying impatiently, "Hey...hey...hey, what are you doing?" as he looked him up and down, his brows furrowed, his face full of disgust and impatience.

Chen Yuanbao was drawn to his expression and couldn't help but look at his own clothes as well.

He was wearing an old, wrinkled shirt that had faded from washing, his trousers still had dust from being on the tractor, and mud on the cuffs. His shoes were cloth shoes that had already fallen apart.

He's just a country bumpkin from the mountains; he doesn't look like the kind of person who would dare to shop in a store like this.

However, he couldn't bother to tidy up anymore. He turned around and looked at the shrewd shop assistant, and still answered his question honestly.

"I'm here to sell things," he said earnestly.

The shop assistant grew even more impatient upon hearing this, tilting her head back and asking arrogantly, "You? Sell things? What can you sell? With your poor, shabby appearance, what good stuff could you possibly have to sell?"

After saying that, he went even further, pushing Chen Yuanbao outside while saying in a tone as if shooing away a cat or a dog, "Go, go, go! Get out of here... get out of the way, don't get in our way, don't delay our business. Do you hear me? Go, go, go..."

Chen Yuanbao was pushed back several steps, his brow furrowing. It seemed this was the legendary case of a big shop bullying its customers...

But he still maintained his honest and simple demeanor, smiling at this snobbish fellow.
