It's the season for eating lotus root shoots, so Wenxi now has an extra task: picking lotus root shoots and digging lotus roots.
Lotus roots are hard to dig, so she doesn't dig many. She only goes over occasionally to dig a few. There are three ponds nearby, and all three ponds have lotus roots. There are so many lotus roots that she can't dig them all by herself.
Wenxi also released five catties of crab seedlings into each of the three ponds. As long as there is no flood, the crabs will not be wiped out. As for whether there will be a flood, if she remembers correctly, there won't be one in the next two years. As for whether there will be one in the future, she doesn't know, because after the male and female protagonists were admitted to university, there were very few descriptions of things in the village. Even if there were descriptions, they would only be mentioned briefly and these things would not be written.
The female protagonist's family all became residents of Yanjing, and afterwards they focused on their careers and having children, having almost no connection with the countryside anymore, so the author didn't write about those aspects.
Thursday, the trading day, finally arrived. Wenxi got up at 3 a.m., put down the steamed buns, left a note, and went out before 4 a.m.
Because it gets light very early this season, if she doesn't set off early, the black market boss might see her true face, and she doesn't want to expose herself, as that would be too dangerous for her.
Lin Yiwan has been supplying the black market with fruits, vegetables, and grains, so Wenxi has no way to trade these items with the black market. Therefore, she is currently only selling fish. However, she plans to sell bamboo shoots after a while. Today, she brought some cooked bamboo shoots for everyone to try.
After all, with Zhao Yuanyuan, Zhao Huihui, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue helping her pick bamboo shoots, she could easily harvest at least 400 jin a day. She couldn't just leave them piled up in the system warehouse and ignore them!
There's not much point in keeping it; it's better to convert it into cash so that we can buy a courtyard house in two years.
Now that Wenxi has her own scale, she no longer needs the black market people to bring it over to weigh her. She weighs everything herself. When she arrives at the black market, Wenxi takes out the braised bamboo shoots she made and lets the black market boss taste them.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Wen Xi looked at the black market boss with anticipation.
After tasting a few bites, the black market boss nodded repeatedly, "Crispy, sweet, and refreshing, delicious. What price are you planning to offer?"
"Eight cents a pound, because it takes six pounds of fresh bamboo shoots to make one pound of cooked bamboo shoots!" Wenxi herself knew that fresh bamboo shoots didn't fetch a good price.
After all, Huizhou Province has no shortage of bamboo. If everyone knew that a pound of fresh bamboo shoots could sell for a few cents, everyone would break bamboo shoots to exchange for money, leading to oversupply and no money to be made. Therefore, Wenxi decided to make it into cooked food.
As long as she doesn't reveal how she makes bamboo shoots, no one will take her business away for the time being, so she can continue to make money for a while.
The black market boss thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, let's take out a hundred catties to test the waters first."
The transaction was completed, and there was still plenty of time, so Wen Xi slowly walked towards the county town instead of riding her electric bicycle. There were still several hours before He Chen'an's work start time, and if she went too early, she wouldn't be able to see him. After all, the effects of the 'Rejuvenating Pill' hadn't worn off yet, and she couldn't go to see He Chen'an with a man's face on her back.
Arriving in the county town, it was still early, and there were almost no people on the road. But Wenxi was still afraid that the 'Rejuvenation Pill' would fail, and she would turn from a man into a woman, frightening others, and then she would be captured and dissected...
So Wenxi went to the park and sat in a relatively secluded spot.
The 'Rejuvenation Pill' only lasts for two hours. It takes more than an hour to walk from the town to the county seat. In addition, she had already spent some time on the black market transaction. So, she returned to normal shortly after arriving at the park. However, Wenxi did not leave but remained sitting there.
As it approached He Chen'an's work time, Wen Xi took another 'Rejuvenation Pill'. The reason she could use it without hesitation was because she had signed for another bottle of 'Rejuvenation Pills', so she was no longer worried about not being able to take revenge after returning to the city.
After taking the 'Rejuvenation Pill' and transforming back into a man, Wen Xi went directly to the county hospital. She wanted to secretly visit He Chen'an and see what his other side was like.
When Wenxi arrived at the county hospital, the day and night shift doctors had already completed their handover, and the day shift doctors had already started their shift.
Before Wen Xi even reached He Chen'an's office door, she saw He Chen'an walking out of the office with a very imposing air, wearing a white coat and holding medical records in his hand, about to go to the ward for rounds.
At this moment, two nurses ran over quickly. It is normal for a doctor to be accompanied by at least two nurses, so Wenxi naturally wouldn't be jealous for no reason.
Everyone inevitably comes into contact with the opposite sex in life and work. As long as you maintain the right boundaries and stay true to yourself, that's fine. Many people gradually lose their way in these interactions, making terrible mistakes and doing things that harm themselves and others, things they will regret for the rest of their lives.
When He Chen'an was communicating with the nurses, he was very serious and did not smile. He was very professional, and the two nurses did not dare to joke with him, laugh with him, or talk about anything unrelated to their work.
Seeing the handsome and refined man's completely different attitudes towards others and towards her, Wen Xi couldn't help but laugh. If he treated everyone the same and was equally gentle to every woman, then she really would have to be careful.
Seeing He Chen'an looking in her direction, Wen Xi turned and left without making a sound. Although she felt that He Chen'an was young and might not have the sharp eyes to see through her, it was still her after all. Her demeanor and expression were still the same, and he would definitely sense it. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, there was no need to arouse his suspicion.
When He Chen'an caught a glimpse of Wen Xi, this 'man,' he did feel a sense of familiarity, but he was certain that he did not know such a man.
Although He Chen'an was confused, he had to get back to work and didn't think about it anymore.
As Wen Xi left the hospital, she patted her chest in relief. Luckily, she had run fast. Otherwise, if He Chen'an had kept an eye on her for a while longer, he might have associated the 'man' she was pretending to be with her.
Seeing that the effects of the 'Rejuvenating Pill' would last for more than an hour, Wenxi went to the pork stall to queue up to buy meat. Unlike others who only bought good meat, she bought any meat that was edible.
Anyway, anything that passes through her hands will taste pretty good.
After buying up the rest of the pork at the stall, Wenxi found a corner, put the basket into the system warehouse, and waited for the 'Rejuvenation Pill's' effects to wear off before leaving the county town openly.
We took a car to the town, and then walked the rest of the way back.
