The people setting up stalls all knew that this fair was organized in cooperation with the Northwest Military Region. When they saw Gu Jianing, who seemed unfamiliar and was wearing a military coat, they immediately realized that she was the new wife of an army officer and were very enthusiastic towards her. When they saw Gu Jianing's pretty face, they realized that everyone likes beautiful things, so they had a very good first impression of her.
"Little girl, I have radishes, cabbages, and tomatoes, all picked from my own fields today. What do you want?"
Gu Jianing saw that the most people were selling vegetables. He walked to a stall and saw an elderly couple selling their goods. When they saw Gu Jianing coming over, they hurriedly greeted them.
“How do you sell these?”
After asking about the prices, Gu Jianing sold a lot of each item, which can be kept for a longer time in winter.
After that, Gu Jianing continued to shop and sold a few bags of dried mushrooms, vermicelli, and a bag of potatoes. He saw someone selling tofu and bought several pieces of tofu...
It seemed that Gu Jianing bought a lot and didn't bargain much, so he was a big customer.
When Gu Jianing walked past, many farmers who were setting up stalls warmly invited her to buy.
Gu Jianing did see a lot of things he wanted to buy, but he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to take them all back by himself.
"It's okay. There are people in our market who bring a cart. They will help deliver it to the military area for just 1 cent." When Gu Jianing was muttering in worry, someone immediately told her the solution and showed it to her.
Gu Jianing did see a lot of carts gathered together. At first she thought they were selling carts, but she didn't expect they were used to transport goods.
Then she can buy it with confidence.
Seeing the freshly jumping fish in front of the fish stall, Gu Jianing did not hesitate and asked someone to catch several big black fish and buy them!
When she saw someone selling chickens and ducks, she bought two chickens directly. As for the chicks, she didn’t buy them because she didn’t know how to raise them and didn’t plan to.
When I saw piles of potatoes, I just bought half a bag.
There is actually a pork stall. Well, they sell pork belly, ribs, and lean meat!
Gu Jianing also saw someone selling wild Cordyceps at a very cheap price.
This is the Cordyceps that is sold at a very high price in later generations, but it seems that this northwest region specializes in Cordyceps.
Gu Jianing bought them all without hesitation, keeping some for herself and sending some to her mother's family and Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang.
The people selling the Cordyceps were a brother and sister who were only about ten years old. They dug the Cordyceps from the mountains and tried to sell it, hoping to exchange it for some rice and flour.
But before, no one was willing to buy it, not even to take a look at it.
Unexpectedly, a fairy sister came and bought everything for them. They were very happy.
After walking around the entire market, Gu Jianing's purchases had filled up an entire cart.
"Sister, I have other herbs at home. Do you want some?" Seeing that Gu Jianing really liked those Cordyceps, the little boy Qin Tian plucked up the courage to ask.
This brother and sister are from a nearby mountain village. They currently have an elderly grandmother at home who is not in good health to rely on. The young and the old in the family are unable to go out to work. Fortunately, the grandmother once taught them a lot of knowledge about herbal medicine.
Therefore, they would go to the mountains from time to time to look for herbs, and then save them to sell at the county Chinese medicine hospital. However, the price was kept very low, and it took at least four hours to get there. The journey was too far, and when the weather was cold, the road was cold and snowy, making it unbearable.
Therefore, what the siblings like most is the big market held on the 10th of every month. The market is close to their village, and as long as they can sell their products, the prices are relatively affordable and not pushed down too low.
As long as the herbs are sold, they can buy rice and noodles for the family. Grandma has been ill recently, so it is best for her to eat fine grains.
Moreover, they have a wish that they haven't told anyone, which is to save money and go to school.
"Yes..." Gu Jianing named some herbs, "If you have any of these herbs, please sell them to me. I also want this Cordyceps."
As soon as Gu Jianing finished speaking, Qin Tian and Qin Qing's eyes lit up. "Sister, I have the herbs you mentioned at home. Can you wait for me? Shall we go back and get them now?"
Qin Tian rubbed his gloved hands together, the gloves were torn, revealing a few fingers. He pursed his lips and looked at Gu Jianing cautiously. Qin Qing did the same, her eyes full of expectation, as if Gu Jianing was all their hope.
Gu Jianing liked children, and when she looked at the siblings, she knew that their family background probably wasn't very good.
"Okay, I don't plan to leave the market for the time being, so you guys go back and get them. I'll wait for you here. I want all those herbs you have," Gu Jianing said generously.
The brother and sister's eyes lit up instantly, "Thank you, Fairy Sister, then we'll go back and get it."
After saying that, the brother and sister ran like a gust of wind, rushing in a certain direction.
Gu Jianing looked at their backs and her brows softened involuntarily.
The reason why he agreed was, firstly, that he wanted to help his siblings, and secondly, that Gu Jianing really needed these herbs.
Soldiers often have to go on missions and train in places with harsh environments. These days, medical care is backward and medical supplies are scarce. Therefore, it is common for soldiers to suffer from stomach problems, spinal diseases such as back pain and leg pain, and rheumatism.
Even Sheng Zexi can do it.
Sheng Zexi hadn't told her about this, but it was scanned out when he was bound as a patient.
Then she asked, and Sheng Zexi said that it was not just him, but basically all soldiers had this problem.
After listening to this, Gu Jianing fell into deep thought.
These problems may be tolerable when you are young, but they will become painful when you are old.
Therefore, Gu Jianing went to the system's redemption mall and used 10 points each to redeem the formula for rheumatism ointment and the formula for stomach-protecting pills.
These two recipes are sold in the mall. They require the highest points and have the best effects. The introduction says that they were developed 100 years ago.
Of course, there are other options with lower scores, but the effects are not as good, so Gu Jianing finally chose these two.
Now Sheng Zexi is her husband, and she needs to take care of her own husband, so she still has to prepare the rheumatism ointment and stomach-protecting pills.
This is the score...
Seeing that there were only 4 pitiful points left, Gu Jianing urgently wanted his sister-in-law to get pregnant quickly, and also wanted to cure Sheng Zexi's infertility quickly, so that he could get 300 points.
Points are good things, one less if you use one.
The herbs she just mentioned are the ones needed to make rheumatism ointment and stomach-protecting pills.
She was originally worrying about how to get the medicinal herbs, but unexpectedly she met this pair of siblings, and it was just the right thing for them to get what they needed, killing two birds with one stone.
