Chapter 1034: Poison (V)
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she did not see Liu Biao and the other three. She thought that it was not yet five o'clock and they should not have come down the mountain yet. In that case, she took this time to go into the space to take a bath. After digging medicinal herbs for a whole day, she had a lot of dirt on her body.
After taking a shower, Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the yard and looked outside. She saw that Liu Biao and the others had not come to her house yet, so she took out a piece of cake and a box of milk from the space and ate them. Although she had eaten lunch on the mountain, the physical labor in the afternoon made her a little hungry, so she ate something to fill her stomach before dinner.
"Knock, knock, knock... Is anyone home? Knock, knock, knock..."
After hearing the knock on the door, Lu Xiaoxiao drank the last sip of milk. Then she threw the box into the space to destroy it and went to the yard to open the door.
"What happened to you?" Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the yard and saw four people covered in mud standing in front of her, so she asked.
"Don't mention it. We accidentally fell into a big pit when we were digging for medicinal herbs. The pit was full of mud, so we ended up like this."
After hearing what Liu Biao said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at them sympathetically, and then she asked them, "Do you want to go home and take a shower first?"
"No need, come and take a look at the medicinal herbs we dug today." After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Erdan immediately took off the basket on his back and put it in front of Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Liu Erdan said, Lu Xiaoxiao reached out and took the herbs in Liu Erdan's backpack and took a look. Then she said to Liu Erdan, "Pour out the herbs in your backpack. Remember to be gentle and don't damage the herbs."
"good."
"Pour out all the herbs so I can see their variety and quality."
After Liu Biao and the other three poured out all the medicinal herbs, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at them one by one. Then she found that Liu Biao and the other three had only collected four kinds of medicinal herbs, and they were the most common ones, not worth much money. Fortunately, they were more careful when digging, and every medicinal herb was intact. It seemed that she had to teach Liu Biao and the other three how to recognize medicinal herbs, otherwise it would be these four kinds of medicinal herbs every time, which would not alleviate her shortage of medicinal herbs at all.
"I have accepted all your medicinal herbs, but I don't know how much they cost per pound. Does anyone know?"
"Master Xiao, I know. I've sold them at a purchasing station."
"Tell me what the price of these four medicinal materials is at the purchasing station?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Er Shunzi after hearing what Er Shunzi said.
"All of them are eight cents a pound."
“So low?”
"It's not low, it's already considered a high price. If there weren't so few people who knew about medicinal herbs, the prices would be even lower."
Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked when she heard Er Shunzi's words. She didn't expect that the price of medicinal materials in this era would be so ridiculously low. It was even lower than the price of sweet potatoes. She really didn't know what to say.
"I'll take all your herbs, because the herbs you dug are in good condition. I'll charge you two cents more than the purchasing station. Now you can sort the herbs by species, and I'll go get them weighed."
Liu Biao and the other three laughed happily when they heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. The herbs they dug today weighed at least 7 to 8 kilograms. According to the price Lu Xiaoxiao gave, they could earn 70 to 80 cents a day, and more than 20 yuan a month. Wouldn't their salary be about the same as those of the workers in the city? It was so cool.
