Chapter 189 Socializing
At the dinner party, Jinran acted as her mascot, eating the whole time. People didn't pay much attention to her because she was young.
But as soon as they heard that she was Professor Gu's granddaughter-in-law, they kept praising her, saying that Jinran was a rare talent.
Jinran felt that she knew her own limitations and wouldn't be blinded by praise. She was perfectly clear-headed and was even thinking that when she learned how to roast suckling pig, she could let her family and Gu Daji try it. It was so delicious.
The auction was still a few days away, and Jinran tried to persuade the two professors that she wanted to go out and see it, but was unanimously refused.
Finally, Jinran had no choice but to go outside, find a stone, and crush it into powder in front of everyone.
Professor Gu, Professor Wang, "Grandson, will little Gu be subjected to domestic violence in the future?"
The bodyguard thought, "Are they even leaving any way for people to survive?"
Finally, Professor Gu gave Jinran a lot of pocket money, saying, "This is all my personal savings. You can spend it and buy whatever you like. The places Lao Wang and I went to might not be to your liking. In a couple of days, we'll go to the antique street over here. But you might wander around aimlessly, you know? We'll need to bring back some things!"
Although there was still homework to do, I was still happy to be able to go out and have some fun.
the next day
Before dawn, Jinran set off, found a secluded spot, and disguised herself. Then she had morning tea and asked the talkative locals for directions.
Once I had a clear idea of what to do, I set off.
First, she went to the pharmacy. Jinran had only heard that the medicines in Hong Kong during this era were particularly good and could not be bought there at all, so she had to stock up.
Looking at Jinran's shabby appearance, the sales clerk coldly asked, "What do you need?"
Jinran then mentioned some commonly used medicines, as well as medicines whose names she had only read about in the book but never actually seen before.
The sales clerk glanced up and asked, "Can you afford it?"
Jinran couldn't understand the salesperson's words, but by guessing, she knew it was disdain. How come there are always people with a sense of superiority everywhere?
Jinran sneered, "Call your boss over. I'm not buying anymore; I want to sell something."
The sales clerk said impatiently, "What do you want to sell? What could a country bumpkin like you have?" At that moment, a woman who looked like a wealthy lady came in.
The sales clerk greeted her with a smile and asked, "Mrs. Zhang, what are you here to buy today?"
Jinran laughed in anger. This was nothing like the sales clerks on their side, who looked down on everyone equally.
Look at this ugly face.
Jinran left, deciding to find another pharmacy.
I walked slowly, bought some things that interested me, and then covered them up and put them away in my space.
I bought a lot of things in no time, and luckily the money I got was enough.
Jinran walked into a pharmacy that exuded a rustic charm. She went inside.
This time, the person behind the counter was an elderly man, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance. The smell alone was invigorating.
The old man glanced at Jinran and said with a smile, "Young lady, why are you dressed like this? Never mind, I won't meddle, but you are really healthy. I've been in this body for decades and I've never seen anyone as healthy as you."
Jinran thought to herself, how could she not be healthy? She drinks seawater every day and uses it for bathing. No one is more extravagant than her.
To Jinran's surprise, the old man could tell her gender and physical condition at a glance, which was truly amazing.
"Grandpa, I'm just doing this for convenience. By the way, do you buy medicinal herbs?"
The old man stroked his beard. "What are you selling?"
Then Jinran took out a mediocre ginseng from her spatial storage and handed it to the old man.
Then the old man pulled out a few strands of his beard, feeling no pain at all, his eyes fixed blankly on the ginseng.
