Chapter 33 Big Money Boss
This is a good opportunity to go to town and buy some more vegetables and meat.
Recently, she has been busy taking care of people in the hospital.
I also have to deliver meals to Xiao Zhiyu every day, and the food stored at home is almost used up!
Fortunately, Xiao Zhiyu's monthly salary is pretty good, so he can give her some subsidies.
Ruan Chuxia took out dozens of dollars from the cabinet and a few tickets and carefully put them into her pocket, waiting quietly for Chen Rong to pick her up.
"Boom boom boom."
It was already time for morning training to end when there was a knock on the door.
At this time, Chen Rong ran over panting and knocked on the door of Ruan Chuxia's house.
Hearing the knock on the door, Ruan Chuxia hurried over and opened it.
I saw Chen Rong standing outside the door, sweating profusely and looking tired.
She couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You can take your time."
Chen Rong's eyes lit up when he saw this. He glanced towards the dining table inside the room, and replied with a simple smile, "When the head of the village asks me to do something, I must do it quickly and without delay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to swallow his saliva subconsciously.
Ruan Chuxia immediately understood what was going on.
She plans to stew an old hen today to nourish the old man.
There was a tempting aroma wafting from the kitchen.
Looking at Chen Rong's greedy look, Ruan Chuxia smiled and said, "You must be exhausted after running all the way here. Come in and sit for a while. I'll get you something to eat."
Ever since she started preparing meals for Xiao Zhiyu, Ruan Chuxia noticed that many teammates always came following the smell, hoping to get a few bites of hot food.
But every time he was driven away by Xiao Zhiyu.
Considering that Chen Rong is probably also a greedy person.
Ruan Chuxia took out the salted egg yolk rice dumplings from the refrigerator.
Then I steamed a few of them.
When these large and plump rice dumplings appeared in front of him, Chen Rong's eyes immediately lit up and he exclaimed in admiration: "Oh my God, sister-in-law, you are so generous to give me such a big rice dumpling!"
In this era, meat and salted duck eggs were very precious.
Especially in a remote place like theirs.
Looking at Chen Rong wolfing down his food, Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but smile.
He looked like he hadn't eaten for several days. Even before the aroma of the rice dumplings had completely dissipated, he had already devoured them in no time.
In fact, she originally intended to give these rice dumplings to her teammates.
Since arriving here, she has found that although her teammates’ living conditions are difficult, their morale has always been high.
She hopes these rice dumplings can bring them a little warmth.
Since marrying Xiao Zhiyu, she has not appeared very often and most people have never seen her.
However, every time she comes, she can feel the enthusiasm and respect of her teammates.
After cleaning up, Ruan Chuxia waited for Chen Rong to finish eating.
The two of them took a car to the town's medicinal materials market.
It is the hottest time of summer now.
The herbal medicine market was crowded with doctors purchasing goods, who were haggling over prices.
Various sounds intertwined together, making the entire market seem particularly lively.
The air was filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Ruan Chuxia was walking in front wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pigtail.
When people saw such a young woman, dressed neatly and cleanly, and accompanied by a man who looked very powerful, they couldn't help but become curious about her.
"Little girl, are you here to buy some medicine? Look at what I have here, all freshly picked from the mountains!"
This old man who sells medicine.
Ruan Chuxia heard what was said and glanced at him indifferently.
The things do look very fresh, with some dew on the tender green leaves.
But the newer the medicine, the better!
She knew that some herbs needed time to reach their optimal efficacy.
She picked some at random, held them under her nose and sniffed them gently. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she smiled.
This unique fragrance reminded her of the time when she followed her grandfather to collect herbs in the mountains when she was a child.
"Is this supposed to be Chinese yam? Freshly dried this summer?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the medicine seller looked at her in surprise.
I originally thought that this was a big money sponsor who knew nothing, but I didn’t expect that he was actually a connoisseur!
He secretly glanced at the tall man following behind Ruan Chuxia, and immediately dared not to fool around anymore, so he smiled and said in a flattering manner.
"Yes, these are newly processed. How much are they? If you buy more, I can give you a discount."
Ruan Chuxia thought about it.
Wild yam is a good thing, it can detoxify and remove dampness.
It was just right to make some external ointment for Yuan Cheng to treat his skin burns.
Yuan Cheng was injured in a mission a few days ago.
Although he has received timely treatment, she still hopes to do her part to help him recover as soon as possible.
She glanced at the shelf next to her again, and her eyes lit up.
"In addition to the wild yam, I also want to order the donkey-hide gelatin, astragalus, cooked rehmannia root, and codonopsis pilosula!"
These medicinal herbs are very important to her, especially for the old man's recovery.
Although the old man's condition has improved now.
But the qi and blood still need to be regulated.
These are all great herbs for nourishing the body!
After all, only when his body fully recovers can it be considered a real improvement.
Ruan Chuxia nodded in satisfaction.
There are more types of markets around than you can imagine!
She had previously thought that she could only buy some ordinary herbs, but she didn't expect that there were so many precious medicinal materials.
She thought for a moment and then asked curiously, "Where do you usually go to collect herbs?"
Since there are such a complete variety of medicinal herbs here, it must have something special about it.
“There are many wild medicinal herbs in the nearby mountains!”
The drug dealer packed the herbs for her and pointed into the distance, saying with a smile.
The mountains there are rolling and provide a good place for many rare plants to grow.
"We Chinese medicine merchants set out every morning to look for herbs. If we're lucky, we might find rare treasures like ginseng or cordyceps. That way, we won't have to worry about our livelihood for the whole year!"
Of course, you don’t always come across good things.
Ultimately, picking herbs also requires timing.
This is not just a technical job, sometimes it also requires a bit of luck.
Ruan Chuxia touched her chin and fell into deep thought.
Since there are precious medicinal herbs in the nearby mountains, maybe I can try them myself next time?
However, it is not easy to find precious medicinal materials, and it may require more knowledge.
Many of the precious medicinal herbs she had brought with her had already been used on Yuan Cheng and Old Man Xiao, so they needed some replenishment.
Now it seems that it is really necessary to come to the market to purchase.
Ruan Chuxia took Chen Rong around the market for several rounds, but only saw some common medicinal herbs and did not find the special varieties they wanted. A trace of regret flashed across her face.
I looked up at the time and it was getting late.
The chicken is still stewing in the kitchen.
Ruan Chuxia decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some more food.
It's almost time for dinner, we can't delay any longer.
