After watching his father and brother enter the grocery store, Chen Li walked towards Huichun Hall.
Business in the clinic is pretty good, and several waiters are busy dispensing medicine.
"Girl, do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?"
A servant came forward with a polite smile on his face, and did not look down on Chen Li because of her coarse cloth clothes that were washed white.
Chen Li lifted the cloth on the basket and asked, "Do you want this?"
The Ganoderma lucidum was placed in the space as soon as it was picked, and it is still very fresh.
When the guy saw such a big Ganoderma lucidum, he asked Chen Li to go to the backyard. It’s not that Ganoderma lucidum is precious, but Ganoderma lucidum as big as a palm is indeed rare.
This kind of Ganoderma lucidum can only be found in the deep mountains, and only herbalists who collect herbs all year round know where it can be found.
"Wait a moment, young lady. I'll go get our shopkeeper to come over."
The waiter poured Chen Li a cup of tea and left to invite the shopkeeper.
Soon, a shopkeeper with a slightly fat figure and a mustache came in.
"Girl, are you going to sell Ganoderma lucidum?"
Chen Li pushed the basket over. There were three large Ganoderma lucidum in the basket, and the rest of the small ones were still in the space.
The shopkeeper with a mustache picked up a Ganoderma lucidum. There was still moist soil underneath, which meant it must have been picked not long ago.
There is no problem with the appearance, the shopkeeper looked at the calm little girl in front of him.
"Girl, this Ganoderma lucidum is pretty good. Just name a price and we'll buy it."
Chen Li raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly said, "Shopkeeper, you are an expert. Just name a price. If it's okay, we'll do the deal. If not, forget it."
The shopkeeper with a mustache had a hint of a smile on his face. "Miss, although these three Ganoderma lucidum are over four years old, their medicinal properties are well preserved and extremely rare. How about we at Huichuntang offer eight taels of silver per plant?"
The reason why they were able to give so much silver was because the Ganoderma lucidum was really big.
Chen Li tapped the table lightly. She didn't expect that a Ganoderma lucidum could be sold for eight taels of silver.
The shopkeeper saw that Chen Li didn't say anything and thought she felt that her offer was too low.
"Miss, our Huichuntang is a century-old shop. We won't do anything that would ruin our reputation. Don't worry."
Shen Li came back to her senses, "Okay, let's do as the shopkeeper says."
Chen Li walked out of Huichun Hall with 24 taels of silver in her pocket. Judging from the expressions of her father and brother just now, she estimated that the price of food had started to rise. She had to stock up more food while the price was not high.
In the grocery store, Shen Changshan bought salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and some small things for the family.
When he walked out of the grocery store, only one tael of the three taels of silver he had brought with him was left.
Shen Li walked up to Shen Changshan and handed the bag to him. Shen Changshan opened it and immediately put it in his arms.
"Girl, where are you from?"
"Exchange it for Lingzhi to buy food."
Shen Changshan asked Shen Qi'an to drive the ox cart forward, "My daughter, let's go buy other things first, and then come back to buy food later, okay?"
Shen Li nodded, and Shen Changshan went to buy other things before returning to the grain store.
He was asked if he felt embarrassed about the money that Hua Guinu gave him.
Sorry, he doesn't have that idea.
Hey, his daughter can earn money now.
However, he would remember how much money Chen Li had spent and would return it to his daughter later.
Seeing the meat stall, Shen Li reached out and tugged at Shen Changshan’s clothes.
Shen Changshan also saw it and understood what Shen Li meant in seconds. He parked the ox cart. Shen Li and Shen Qian'an had already arrived in front of the meat stall.
There was still a lot of meat on the stall. Chen Li ordered a piece of pork with more fat, two pounds of pork belly, two pounds of front leg meat, and half a rack of ribs.
Shen Changshan, who was standing behind him, was shaking a little. He met the butcher's questioning eyes and nodded, "Just do as my daughter said."
The butcher smiled as he cut the pork belly. There were 8 jin of pork in total, at 28 wen per jin, for a total of 224 wen.
The butcher smiled and handed two ribs to Chen Li. "I like your daughter. I'll use them to make some nourishing food!"
Shen Li took it cheerfully, "Thank you, uncle."
The ox cart slowly moved towards the grain store, "Dad, let's eat dumplings tonight!"
Shen Changshan felt the silver across his chest and nodded with gritted teeth. The money was earned by his daughter, and she could spend it however she wanted.
Shen Qi'an looked at his younger sister and saw that her eyes were narrowed, which showed that she was in a good mood. He smiled and did not say anything about his sister's request.
When he arrived at the grain store, Shen Changshan bought ten stone of brown rice, one stone of sorghum, and one stone of corn. Then, remembering that A-li wanted to eat dumplings tonight, he gritted his teeth and bought two pounds of fine flour.
After giving out two ingots of five taels of silver, the clerk smiled and gave out copper coins in change.
"Brother, do you have any grain seeds?"
Chen Li suddenly remembered that she hadn't planted anything in her space yet, what a waste.
"Yes, here. What kind of seeds do you want?"
Chen Li asked for a pound of high-quality rice seeds, a pound of ordinary rice seeds, and a pound of wheat seeds.
"Top-grade rice seeds are 80 wen per jin, rice seeds are 40 wen per jin, and wheat seeds are 60 wen per jin, for a total of 180 wen."
Shen Changshan took out the copper coins that were still warm from his pocket, counted out 180 and handed them to the waiter.
Chen Li and his group walked out of the grain store under the enthusiastic gaze of the waiter.
Now I'm going back, with the grain store's ox cart following behind me. I bought so much grain and they helped deliver it to my home.
When they were almost at the village, Shen Li asked Shen Changshan, “Dad, is there any remote road to get home?”
“Yes, but it’s not easy to walk.”
At a fork in the road, Shen Changshan drove the ox cart onto a small path nearby. A quarter of an hour later, the ox cart finally arrived at the gate of the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The guy driving the cart at the back had a green face. He didn't understand why this family chose to take the small road instead of the main road.
