Chapter 93: Encounter with Uncle Zhang



Li Mingxi saw the old man in front of him looking at him in surprise.

I was confused. What's wrong with this person? Why does he have this expression?

At this time, Chen Kangdao spoke up, "Little girl, how are you selling these cookies? Sell them all to me."

When Li Mingxi saw that this person wanted to buy something again, he was naturally very happy.

After the two finished the transaction, Chen Kangdao thought of the little girl in front of him, who always came up with good things.

His wife at home also needs to eat good food regularly, so he had an idea.

He just said, "Girl, you see, my husband often needs to eat some good food to supplement his nutrition. It just so happens that you have this channel. So, how about we make a deal?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Li Mingxi asked doubtfully, "What agreement?"

Chen Kangdao took the biscuits in his hand and said, "How about this, you come to our house every once in a while and bring me some nutritious food. When you do, I will not lack you in money or tickets."

Li Mingxi had thought about finding a few regular customers to sell products to.

But she also thought that if that were the case, the risk she would take would be huge. If someone reported her, she would not be able to escape at all.

So she did not agree with the old man.

Unexpectedly, the old man started to persuade him again, "Look at you, running around selling things every day has its risks. If you only sell to a few fixed people, wouldn't it be less troublesome?"

Li Mingxi asked, "What if I sell the product to you regularly and you report me later? What should I do?"

Chen Kangdao felt that what Li Mingxi said made sense. After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about this? Let's sign a written agreement. That way, we'll be on the same boat. What do you think?"

Li Mingxi thought the proposal was good, so the two parties signed an agreement.

After this matter was settled, Li Mingxi went to Qingshui Lane specifically, walked up to a big door and knocked on it.

Zhao Qin, who was making clothes in the house at this time, heard someone knocking on the door outside. She hurried over to open the door and saw Li Mingxi standing at the door. She hurriedly went to meet him.

Seeing that it was Zhao Qin who opened the door, Li Mingxi called out, "Hello, Aunt Zhao."

Zhao Qin nodded. "Hey, Xiaoxi, why are you here? Are you here to see your Uncle Zhang?"

"Yes, Aunt Zhao, I have something to ask Uncle Zhang."

Zhao Qin welcomed Li Mingxi into the house and poured her a glass of water. "Okay, wait here for a while. Your Uncle Zhao hasn't come back yet."

Li Mingxi: "Okay, Auntie, I'll sit and wait for him first. You can do whatever you need to do. Don't delay your work."

Seeing that Li Mingxi didn't care about this, Zhao Qin spoke directly.

"Okay, then I'll make some clothes for Hong Bing first. Don't you know that the boy is old and frivolous now? He goes out to play every day, and his clothes are not in good shape."

Thinking of the child named Hongbing, Li Mingxi asked, "Is Hongbing feeling better now?"

Zhao Qin smiled and replied, "Well, you don't know. He can run and jump now. Even your uncle said he doesn't know. How can this child have so much energy?"

Li Mingxi nodded, "That's good, as long as you feel better.

Speaking of which, the reason why Li Mingxi met Zhang San was because of an accidental opportunity.

That day, Li Mingxi just learned about the black market and planned to sneak in to open his eyes.

Who knew that as soon as I entered the black market, I saw a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground begging, "Please, can you give me more? This is a family heirloom!"

The man standing on the ground scolded, "Get up, this is not a charity. If you think it's too little, you can go to the antique shop outside and ask. I tell you, this is the highest amount I can give you."

The middle-aged man said, "But this money is not enough. My child is in urgent need of medical treatment and needs a lot of money. The money from selling this is not enough!"

"Whether it's enough or not is up to you. You can sell it or not. Don't you see the current situation? Do you think it's the same as before? To be honest, I can give you five dollars, which is already fair to you."

The middle-aged man looked hesitant, but in the end he made up his mind and decided to hand the antique to the man.

Seeing that he was about to hand the antique over to that person, Li Mingxi quickly spoke out to stop him.

"Dad, why are you selling things from home? I'm fine now."

The middle-aged man was puzzled when he heard Li Mingxi call him Dad.

At this time, the man next to him was the first to react, "Hezhe, you are teasing me, are you going to sell this antique or not?"

"I'm not selling it anymore."

"Sell."

Li Mingxi flatly refused, "We're not selling it. You guys should leave now."

The duck that was about to be caught flew away, and the man was very angry. "Okay, this is what you said. Come back to me later, but the price will not be the same."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Sell it, I'll sell it."

But the man was angry at the moment, so he glared at the two of them and left.

Seeing the person leave, the middle-aged man angrily scolded Li Mingxi.

"Little girl, I haven't offended you, right? Why did you pretend to be my child and stop me from selling antiques? What should I do now? I have no money, how can I save the Red Army?" The man saw that it was pointless to stay in the black market, so he got up and left.

Li Mingxi stepped forward to stop him, "Uncle, listen to me, you can't sell this antique to him, otherwise you will lose a lot of money."

Li Mingxi could tell from a distance that the antique in the uncle's hand was not an ordinary thing.

Now, taking a closer look, it is indeed a gold-inlaid agate bowl. Judging from its surface, this thing is at least from before the Ming Dynasty. If it was placed in later generations, it would definitely be extraordinary.

The man silently put the things into his pocket and sighed, "You think I don't know, but what can I do? Now it's good, you've messed with me, and I can't sell antiques anymore. Now Hongbing is still waiting for me to pay him back. What should I do?"

Li Mingxi thought that there were many life-saving herbs in his space, and perhaps he could save the child named Hongbing.

She spoke carefully, "Uncle, can I ask what's wrong with your child?"

Zhang San looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes full of confusion, "Little girl, can you please stop playing tricks on me? I don't want to stay here and play with you. Go find someone else." After saying this, the man got up and left.

In order to keep this person, Li Mingxi had no choice but to ask Hu Zuo, "My grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor. I once studied with him for a period of time. Maybe I can help."

Zhang San didn't believe that the girl in front of him could have any solution, but he thought that he really had no other solution. What if the girl was not lying, why not let him talk about it himself?

"It's not a serious illness. He's just been weak since he was born. He recently got pneumonia. He went to see a doctor, but it didn't help."

Li Mingxi laughed when he heard him say it was pneumonia. Pneumonia in children is a very common disease in later generations, but it is definitely different in this era when penicillin is lacking.

So Li Mingxi nodded happily, "Uncle, I can cure the disease you mentioned."

Hearing that the girl in front of him could cure the disease, Zhang San took her home directly.

But Li Mingxi didn't know how to treat illnesses, so he could only take people's pulses like a Chinese medicine practitioner.

While secretly asking Yue Ze for advice in his mind, he then ran to a deserted place, secretly took out the medicine from the space, and wrote down the instructions for use.
