Lin Jin has transmigrated. She has traveled to the 1970s and is now a girl with the same name.
As the sole inheritor of a traditional Chinese medicine family and having studied Western medici...
After seeing Gong Moze off, Lin Jin couldn't wait to go back to her room and enter her spatial dimension. Inside, she saw a pile of harvested vegetables in the place where she used to grow them, while the medicinal herbs she had planted hadn't changed at all, except that they had grown taller. She quickly ran to the place where she had planted ginseng to take a look. Next to that large ginseng plant, many ginseng seedlings had grown. This made Lin Jin extremely happy. She never expected that the ginseng would flower and bear fruit so quickly, and that the seeds could even grow into smaller ones.
Why weren't the other medicinal herbs growing? Lin Jin was puzzled. She ran to the vegetable patch and looked at the mountain of vegetables. There were so many; she couldn't possibly eat them all herself, and she couldn't give them to the villagers. Lin Jin paced back and forth in her spatial dimension, pondering a solution. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She could take them to the county to buy! Although vegetables were grown in the countryside, city dwellers couldn't grow them! As for the ginseng seedlings, she decided to try transplanting some to other areas of her spatial dimension to see if she could find out why the ginseng was multiplying so rapidly while the other medicinal herbs remained unchanged.
So, Lin Jin rolled up her sleeves and got to work. First, she carefully transplanted the ginseng seedlings and marked them. Then she sorted and organized the vegetables. After finishing all this, Lin Jin collapsed on the ground, exhausted, but filled with a sense of accomplishment. She could plant more medicinal herbs, and she could also stock up on more vegetable seeds to plant and sell in the winter. Now she needed to find a market for the vegetables.
To get to the city, you have to take a bus from the town, and then take an oxcart for half an hour. There are oxcarts going to the town every day from the village entrance. Lin Jin decided to go to the city first to see if he could find a way.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Jin ran to the village entrance to wait for the oxcart. The oxcart arrived quickly, and by the time they reached the town, it was just getting light. Lin Jin quickly found a bus to the city; there were very few people on the bus. Lin Jin found a seat at random, and the conductor came over to collect the fare: 50 cents for two hours. Lin Jin paid readily and then asked what time the bus would return. The conductor said 4 PM.
Lin Jin understood. It was still six in the morning, and they could get to the city by eight. One day would be enough.
Along the way, more and more people got on the bus, which slowly drove along the country roads. The bus was noisy and bustling. Lin Jin listened to them talking about this year's harvest, their children, and gossip about who was dating whom. Soon the bus entered the county town. Lin Jin got off the bus and looked at the bustling streets, feeling a little lost for a moment.
Lin Jin decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if she could sell some vegetables. She quickly found out where the cooperative was located. It was already past the time for buying vegetables, so there weren't many people at the cooperative. She found the person in charge.
She explained her purpose, but said that their dishes were delivered by specific people, so they couldn't accept hers. Lin Jin thanked them and turned to leave. She had only taken a few steps when the man called her back!
"Comrade, I know someone who really needs a batch of vegetables right now. I wonder if you could help me out? I can call and ask. If he wants them, he can come in 10 minutes."
Lin Jin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll wait for him here."
After saying that, the man turned around and made a phone call. He laughed after saying something on the other end, then hung up and walked over to Lin Jin, saying, "My friend said he'll be there soon. I have to go now, you wait here for him." "Okay, go ahead and do your thing."
About eight minutes later, a middle-aged man rushed over and asked as soon as he entered, "Old Lin, where is he?"
"You came really fast! Come, come, let me introduce you. This is the comrade who said he wanted to buy a batch of vegetables." Lin Jin was about to introduce himself when the middle-aged man asked: You really have vegetables? Where are they? Can you bring them today? How many?
"Hey! Old Du, don't rush, let this comrade speak slowly."
Lin Jin looked at them before saying, "Comrade Du, I have about 300 jin of chili peppers and 200 jin of cucumbers here. I don't know if you can eat them. If you want them, I'll go get them in a bit!"
"Are there only two kinds?" The middle-aged man was a little disappointed.
He thought for a moment, something is better than nothing. Chili peppers would be good, cucumbers could be used in salads or stir-fried with eggs, that would also work. He then asked Lin Jin, "Comrade, when can you bring them over? As for the price, cucumbers will be 8 cents a pound, and chili peppers will be a bit more expensive at 10 cents a pound."
Lin Jin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then should I bring it here again later?" The middle-aged man looked at her and said:
