Chapter 381 Is it a ghost?
Looking at the glowing eyes of the fat woman, Yuan Baobao sighed helplessly.
"My slimming pills are made of precious herbs, and the quantity is not much. If I sell them, it will cost at least one thousand taels of silver! Just give me some money!" She knew that
the fat woman didn't have much money.
The fat woman rolled her eyes, "Little Princess, although I don't have one thousand taels of silver, but some time ago, when I went to the mountains, I found a ginseng. I heard that it is more than a hundred years old. How about you take a look?"
Hearing that it was a hundred-year-old ginseng, Yuan Baobao was very interested.
"It's in my cellar. We don't have any other place to store good things, but the cellar is nice. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. Generally, if you put some food in it, it won't go bad for ten days or half a month."
Yuan Baobao nodded. Not only in the village, but also in their palace, there are cellars, which are specially used to store food and wine. What
she is more curious about now is the ginseng that is a hundred years old. There are not many good medicines now. Although there are not many ginsengs that are a hundred years old, they are also relatively scarce.
"It's a bit messy in the cellar. You wait here for a while!"
The fat woman walked quickly to a corner and turned back soon.
"I picked all these on the mountain, and they all look pretty good. I asked the people at the medicine shop to look at this ginseng, and they said it was a hundred years old and they were willing to give me one hundred taels of silver. I also heard from others that this kind of thing can be used to save people's lives at a critical moment, so I was reluctant to sell it. I even bought a wooden box to put it in!"
This was also the only one in the package of medicine that was packed in a wooden box.
The fat woman handed it to Yuan Baobao carefully, but Yuan Baobao's eyes were on the messy pile of herbs.
[Wow, this fat lady is amazing, could she be the favorite of God? ]
[There are quite a few rare things in this pile. ]
[Let me take a look at the ginseng first! ]
The fat woman was even more excited when she heard Yuan Baobao's words. Could it be that there were valuables among these messy herbs?
But she didn't recognize any of these, she just thought it looked good at the time, so she kept it.
"Little Princess, take a look at this ginseng, I wonder if it's a hundred years old?"
After all, she is not a doctor, and she is not familiar with medicinal materials.
Yuan Baobao carefully opened the box, her eyes wide: "This, this, this..."
"The pharmacy gave you a hundred taels of silver, and you said you wouldn't sell it and keep it. Did they advise you to sell it quickly?"
Yuan Baobao was still very curious, and her voice was a little stuttering with excitement.
Prince Wang couldn't help but stick his head out to take a look, and he thought the ginseng looked good.
He was originally a rich man, and he had eaten a lot of ginseng before, and even used ginseng to make wine.
It seems that there are also ones that are a hundred years old, but the price is more than a thousand taels of silver, and there are several thousand taels.
One hundred taels is indeed a bully.
The fat woman smiled embarrassedly: "At that time, they did advise me to sell it quickly, and said that I didn't know how to preserve it and the medicinal effect would be lost a lot. The longer I keep it, the lower the medicinal effect of the ginseng will be, and the less valuable it will be."
"Aren't I afraid of something happening? This thing can keep me alive, and it can be considered as saving a life. I can't bear to sell it!"
Yuan Baobao sighed: "Then why are you willing to give it to me now?"
The fat woman sighed: "I also know that my figure is deformed now, and I am getting uglier and uglier. I look too sloppy. Although I am already very old and have grandchildren, who says that I don't want to become more beautiful and good-looking because I have grandchildren? I didn't have the opportunity before, but now I heard this girl say that your slimming pill is effective, so I still want to try it!"
"As for this ginseng, it has been preserved for several years and has not been used. It is said that everyone has their own destiny. Maybe I won't be able to use it in the future. It's also because I don't have any money, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to give the ginseng away!"
Yuan Baobao couldn't help but applaud the fat woman.
[I didn't expect her to be so clear-headed! ] [She
thinks more clearly than most people. It's really a waste of talent in this village! ]
[The fat lady shouldn't be buried here! ]
"Little princess, do I have enough ginseng? If not, take all of these if you see any that can be used!"
The fat woman said eagerly.
Yuan Baobao smiled and said, "That's enough. This ginseng of yours is not a hundred years old, it should be more than two hundred years old. It is worth at least one thousand and two taels of silver. As for this pile of medicinal herbs..."
Yuan Baobao casually took out a red one and said, "The pharmacies outside may not know it, but it is still useful to me. It is also a relatively rare species. Its medicinal name is red velvet grass, and it is a medicinal ingredient for making beauty pills."
"This one is still bright green no matter how casually it is preserved, and this black one is relatively rare medicinal materials. The price is not too high, but it takes luck to find them!"
The fat woman's eyes lit up, and she stuffed all the medicinal materials into Yuan Baobao's hands: "Little Princess, these things are useful in your hands, but they are useless in my hands. If you don't mind, take them all! I don't want much, just give me a slimming pill!"
Yuan Baobao couldn't help but sigh again, this woman is really sober in life. I told her that some medicinal materials are very rare, and she could obviously sell them to me at a high price, or raise the price. But she didn't, and just stuffed everything into her hands.
Yuan Baobao was a little embarrassed.
"Okay! By the way, Fatty, I see that your grandson has always been in poor health, right?"
Fatty was even more surprised: "Little, little princess, you actually know this too?"
Her grandson's health has indeed always been not very good. In fact, their family's conditions were still good before. After all, her husband has a good relationship with Prince Wang, and he also works in Prince Wang's shop, making a lot of money every month.
But since the little grandson was born, his body has been very weak. They have consulted many doctors, and even spent a lot of money to find an imperial physician.
It's a pity that those people have helped the grandson to adjust, but there is still no improvement.
But how did the little princess know? Could it be that Prince Wang told her? The fat woman thought it was impossible. After all, Prince Wang was not that free, and he came here today to settle accounts with them.
"I won't take advantage of you. I'll just help your grandson to regulate his body!"
Yuan Baobao collected all the herbs and told the woman to find a handful of yellow rice, a handful of glutinous rice, cinnabar and yellow mounting paper.
Everyone stared with curiosity.
The old Taoist priest with white eyebrows came over and said, "Master, you mean her grandson is not in good health. Is he possessed by evil spirits?"
"It's impossible! I have seen that child. He should be born with developmental disabilities, right?"
