When she got home, Yao Tongjia had already put the ginseng and soil from her spatial dimension into her basket. She called her mother to her master's room and showed them the ginseng in the basket.
Master exclaimed in surprise, "Tongtong, you are so lucky! This ginseng looks quite old. If it were in Beijing, it could sell for at least tens of thousands of yuan."
At this point, Xiao Yan also became somewhat dejected: "We don't have any connections here, so it would be good if we could sell it for 1,000 yuan!"
Aunt Yao didn't understand these things. She weighed the basket in her hand and said, "It's too heavy. Have you been carrying it all this time?"
Yao Tongjia felt a warmth in her heart: "Brother Xiao recited a part of it, and I only finished reciting it after we came in!"
"Your brother Xiao really helped carry it?" Xiao Yan looked incredulous. Her son really was willing to help with chores?
Yao Tongjia nodded: "Today when we went to gather herbs, Brother Xiao followed me and gathered half of them. Brother Xiao has an excellent memory; he picked exactly what I picked without making a single mistake!"
These words made Xiao Yan sit up abruptly, and Yao Ma quickly went over to help her up: "Why are you in such a hurry? Get up slowly, you've lost too much blood, you're not well yet!"
Xiao Yan settled herself down with her friend's help: "Tongtong, is everything you said true? Your brother Xiao helped you gather herbs? He knows how to gather herbs?"
“Really! Yesterday, he opened the book I left on the table and looked at it. Then, halfway there, he pointed to a thick leaf and said it was ginseng.”
"You took him into the deep mountains?" Yao Ma and Xiao Yan asked anxiously.
"No, no, it's the path where my master led me to gather herbs."
"I've walked that road countless times, how come I haven't found any ginseng?"
Yao Tongjia stopped talking, picked out the leaves and handed them to her master: "Look, these leaves are sticking out. I just walked over to them, but Brother Xiao pointed at them and said they were ginseng."
Xiao Yan smiled with pride: "Your brother Xiao has sharp eyes. I didn't recognize this as a ginseng leaf either. It's so plump, no wonder it's quite old."
"I'll sell it in a few days and exchange it for some fine grains."
These words were very tempting to everyone, but Xiao Yan still felt a little sorry for her: "This ginseng can sell for tens of thousands of yuan in Beijing, but here it's good if it's worth 1,000 yuan."
"If you can go back to Beijing, why are you worried about not having money?"
These words reminded Xiao Yan that the past twelve years had been so difficult that she had almost forgotten that she was once someone who was not short of money.
"Take it and sell it. Don't go to the black market, just sell it at a pharmacy. It'll be cheaper, but safety comes first!"
Yao's mother chimed in, "That makes sense. Tongtong, let's not take any risks. Mom just wants everyone to be safe and sound!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "Master, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "I'll rest for another day today and go to work tomorrow. You can ask the captain for leave and get a letter of introduction to sell the ginseng. If it's fresh, the price will be higher. Some experienced craftsmen like to process it themselves."
Yao Tongjia nodded, carried the basket back to her room, and as soon as she entered, she put the basket into her spatial storage. She didn't want to sell the ginseng just like that.
The space is now suitable for planting, and she wants to plant ginseng in it. She even dug up the soil around the ginseng and put it into the space, so there must be ginseng seeds in the soil as well.
She walked to the room where supplies were stored. She hadn't even looked inside the two warehouses when the supplies were being exchanged. She remembered the lawyer complaining to his companion.
"This General Manager Zhang is a heartless man. He takes advantage of the young girl's shyness. Some of his things are from the 70s and 80s. Even after 20 or 30 years, he still dares to stuff them into the young girl's hands. He'll probably extort an extra warehouse full of stuff from her."
Yao Tongjia took a walk around and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were quite a few Double Happiness brand thermos bottles in the warehouse, at least a hundred, as well as several hundred enamel mugs.
Most importantly, there are hundreds of batches of military green fabric. You should know that military green fabric is currently the most popular fabric. With these, Yao Tongjia can handle the work.
Yao Tongjia continued walking and arrived at the rice storage area. There seemed to be four or five hundred bags of rice, and even more flour, probably over a thousand bags. Great!
Her mouth watered at the mention of white flour. She was so tired of cornbread that she was determined to take a bag of white flour with her this time. She wanted to eat pure white flour steamed buns and noodles.
Yao Tongjia is going to the county tomorrow to visit the black market and convert her supplies into money.
She couldn't exchange all the ginseng for supplies and bring them back; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
The next day, Yao Tongjia took an oxcart to town before dawn. The village was quite remote, and even if she wanted to get to town, it would take three hours by oxcart.
Yao Tongjia was lucky; as soon as she got off the oxcart, there was another one going to the county. She got on and the cart started moving.
Yao Tongjia breathed a sigh of relief. She had heard her master say that sometimes she would wait in the car for two hours and it still wouldn't move.
But before she could even finish catching her breath, she smelled a very strange, extremely sour and foul odor.
When she turned around, she almost threw up. The girl sitting next to her was not very old, but she was extremely slovenly.
Her hair was all tangled and greasy. Yao Tongjia saw that there was an empty seat in front of her, so she quickly changed seats and sat down in front.
It's terrifying. How dare someone who doesn't even wash their hair come out like this? Yao Tongjia is afraid to sit next to her, lest she catch fleas from her.
That stuff is extremely contagious; it's no joke!
When the girl saw Yao Tongjia switch seats, she pouted and said, "You think I'm from the countryside? Aren't you from the countryside too? Aren't your clothes the same as mine?"
Yao Tongjia watched her mother die a miserable death in her past life, and now she doesn't want to hold back at all: "Listen to me clearly, I'm disgusted by the fact that your hair is dripping with oil, and I'm disgusted by the smell of you!"
