After saying goodbye to the Xie couple, Lin Xue and Xie Yuchen boarded a bus to the county.
Before taking the bus, they walked for about two hours along mountain paths and then took an oxcart for half an hour to reach the town where there was a bus.
We took a bus from the town, navigating winding mountain roads for about an hour and a half to reach the county seat.
Of course, the "public vehicle" mentioned here is not a bus, but a large Jiefang truck.
The only way for people from the mountains to get out of the mountains is by taking a bus like this.
It's not that cars can't drive in; after all, the road has been under construction for several years, and even near Lin Xue's house, there's a winding road.
However, very few people could afford a car, and even the wealthiest families chose to ride horses into the city.
After the two of them arrived in the county town, Xie Yuchen almost vomited after getting out of the car.
"This car is so uncomfortable, whew whew~"
As soon as Xie Yuchen got out of the car, he ran to the roadside and leaned against a big tree, panting heavily.
"Next time, let's not sit down. You rest for a while, and I'll go get you some water!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she walked to the stall next to her, asked the stall owner for a bowl of water, and handed it to Xie Yuchen.
"Ah Xue, we've arrived in the county town now. What do you think we should do next?"
This wasn't Xie Yuchen's first time in the county, but he was completely unfamiliar with the town.
"You don't need to worry about anything, just follow me!"
After the other person finished drinking the water, Lin Xue returned the bowl to the stall owner and then took Xie Yuchen for a stroll on the street.
After a bumpy ride, we need to calm down before we can eat.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to eat anything if you're feeling carsick.
After walking around for more than ten minutes, Xie Yuchen had recovered her energy.
Lin Xue exclaimed, "Youth is indeed full of energy!"
"Ah Xue, look how many motorcycles there are in this county! In our surrounding area, there are only three motorcycles, and those belong to the richest family in the neighborhood!"
As a boy, Xie Yuchen was envious when he saw others riding motorcycles.
What boy can resist the allure of a motorcycle?
Lin Xue led Xie Yuchen into the motorcycle shop, which had five or six motorcycles on display, and all the other items were bicycles.
The two walked over to one of the motorcycles, patted the seat, and then turned to ask the owner about the price of the motorcycle.
"2800, can't it be any less?"
Lin Xue was negotiating the price with the boss.
In those days when money was everything, 2800 was truly an astronomical figure.
However, Lin Xue did not back down at all and boldly bargained with the boss.
"Minimum 2600, no lower!"
The boss waved his hand and finally revealed a bottom price.
"Then I'll go look at other places, yours is too expensive!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she pulled Xie Yuchen away.
The owner watched the two figures walk away without saying anything, and continued to serve other customers.
"If you want a motorcycle, Ah Xue, I'll save up enough money to buy you one in two years!"
Xie Yuchen carried a basket on his back and held Lin Xue's hand, feeling a little sad.
Only after venturing out did I realize how poor I truly was.
There are so many beautiful and fun things in the outside world that a poor hunter like him can't afford.
"I can buy it after I sell this batch of medicinal herbs, but I'm not really interested in motorcycles. If I'm going to buy one, I'll buy a small truck!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she led Xie Yuchen to the medicinal herb company, a place he knew exactly where to go.
It wasn't that Lin Xue had been to the county town, but rather that the original owner of this body had wandered around the county town for more than a month.
At that time, the original owner had just come out of the mountains and everything was strange to him.
She felt that if she couldn't even be familiar with a small county town, she would definitely be cheated if she went out.
So he hid all his valuables and pretended to be a homeless man, begging for food in the county town for more than a month.
To be honest, the original owner was really ruthless to herself.
This is also why she was able to stand out later on.
It's just a pity...
"Your medicinal herbs are of very high quality. I heard you're planning to grow them at home, so I've compiled a list of some of the rarer herbs on the market over the past two years for you!"
Manager Liu was a very kind middle-aged man. When he heard that Lin Xue and her companion had come to sell medicinal herbs, he warmly received them.
They did not look down on the two men in the slightest because they were country bumpkins from the mountains.
After inspecting the medicinal herbs Lin Xue brought, Manager Liu also provided them with a list of urgently needed herbs.
"Your herbs are all high-quality, and their price is higher than the market price. Plus, they are all wild herbs, so I can give you a good price!"
The uncle examined the medicinal herbs that Lin Xue had brought over and over again.
He especially set aside precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and he shou wu.
High-end products are sold by the gram, while ordinary, shorter-aged products are mixed with other medicinal herbs.
In the end, Lin Xue sold a total of [amount missing] of the medicinal herbs in this basket.
Among them, a few ginseng roots that were old sold for 18,000.
Xie Yuchen didn't expect medicinal herbs to be so valuable. In the past, there were always people in their mountains who came to buy medicinal herbs, but the prices they offered were always very low.
Back then, my mother was overjoyed, beaming from ear to ear as she held those few dozen yuan in her hand.
He only realized now that good medicinal herbs were so expensive.
Although there aren't many ginsengs as old as Lin Xue has, there are quite a few precious medicinal herbs of high age.
Xie Yuchen suddenly felt that maybe he could also try his hand at the business of buying and selling medicinal herbs.
He would give the villagers a little more than the merchants who used to buy medicine, and he could make a large profit from each transaction.
