Chapter 4: Medicinal herbs are valuable

"Hey, my sister-in-law is back. It seems that the chicken soup is really good. She can even walk on the ground."

As soon as she entered the door, Wang shouted something in a veiled tone. Shen Ruoqing was a little confused. What happened? Shen Xue went to the team to hand in pig grass. Shen Ruoqing replied indifferently: "I'm not the only one drinking chicken soup. What does the second sister-in-law mean by this?"

"Can my bowl be the same as yours?"

Because she was pregnant, Wang naturally got a bowl of chicken soup, but she only had chicken soup, no meat.

"Second brother, what do you mean? Are you complaining that I'm unfair? If I had known, I would have given that bowl of chicken soup to my sweet baby. It's better to give it to anyone than to you, an ungrateful bastard!" Old Mrs. Ji rushed over, her eyes as big as bells.

"Mom! How could I have such an idea?" The draft that was prepared in her mind was defeated by the sharp eyes of the old lady last season. Wang said hesitantly,

"I know my mother loves me and gave me a bowl of chicken soup, but I heard from my sister-in-law this morning that there is no rice, so I should exchange the chicken for rice..."

"Am I short of water or food for you? How could I not know whether there is rice or not? I plan to go to Lao Si's house again the day after tomorrow."

"Mom, didn't the Sun family pay five dollars in compensation before..."

Facing the gaze of Old Lady Ji, Wang shrank her head again and decided to go back. Who cares? She would just go to the fourth brother's place. At any rate, she just had to make sure she didn't starve.

"Mom, is there no rice at home?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

"There are still some sweet potatoes, so they can last for a while. Don't worry, dear. Mom has a way." Old Mrs. Ji patted Shen Ruoqing's hand lovingly.

"The day after tomorrow, Mom and I will go to the city to buy rice."

Shen Ruoqing said.

Old Mrs. Ji didn't care. After thinking about it, she felt that her sweet baby might want to go to the city to play. Seeing that Shen Ruoqing's spirit was much better today than the previous two days, she agreed.

As expected, they had sweet potatoes for dinner, and each person only had one, like Shen Yue, Shen Yun, and Shen Xue, who only had half a potato. The underage males and women and children in the family had one, but it was relatively small. Only Shen Ruoqing had the same big sweet potato as the young adults in the family.

"Mom, I can't eat so much, I'll give you half of this." Shen Ruoqing learned to be smart and directly broke half of it and stuffed it into Old Lady Ji's mouth. Old Lady Ji hurriedly wanted to spit it out.

"Mom, I like to be clean. I won't eat what you spit out. Go ahead and eat it."

It turned out that Shen Ruoqing was a spoiled child who grew up in a pampered environment and had a problem with cleanliness. Hearing these words, Old Mrs. Ji was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, and she had to eat the sweet potato in her mouth.

"My dear, you are so filial, unlike other ungrateful people!"

"Mom, I'll give you half too." Shen Xiangdong couldn't sit still after hearing this, and quickly broke off another half of the sweet potato he had eaten half of.

"Come on! Do I, an old woman, need to snatch food from you? Just eat yours!" Old Mrs. Ji gave the eldest son of the Shen family a displeased look.

These are all afterthoughts, but my own sweet baby is the most considerate! "Mom, I'm going back to the house to eat."

Shen Ruoqing took half a sweet potato and went back to the house.

She didn't have to go back to the house, but she saw that everyone else in the house had eaten the sweet potato skins, and she felt embarrassed not to eat the sweet potato skins in front of them. But she couldn't eat the sweet potato skins, so she had to go back to the house to eat them.

Half a sweet potato was definitely not enough for her. She spent two cents to buy a big meat bun at the mall and ate it. Then she washed her face, brushed her teeth, and went to sleep.

The next day, Shen Ruoqing woke up early. She had already made up her mind. She had earned more than 14 yuan in just a short time yesterday. Today, she must go to dig wild vegetables early to make a fortune! Shen Xue was still working when she was called by Shen Ruoqing.

"Sanya, let's continue to dig wild vegetables today!"

Shen Xue was reluctant to take Shen Ruoqing to a farther place to dig wild vegetables. But Shen Ruoqing actually took out an egg.

Shen Xue didn't suspect anything. It turned out that Old Lady Ji often gave Shen Ruoqing special treatment, and it was something everyone was used to.

"Aunt, as long as I take you to pick wild vegetables, will you give me this egg? It would be bad if grandma knew about it." Shen Xue swallowed and said with difficulty.

"Wrong, you still have to help me dig this wild vegetable. If you don't tell me about this and I don't tell you, who will know?" Shen Ruoqing slowly put the egg into his arms, pretending to be vicious, "Don't you even listen to me?"

"No, aunt, let's go quickly. It's too late and the wild vegetables will have been picked by others." Shen Xue couldn't wait to pull Shen Ruoqing away.

Eggs, how long has it been since I last tasted eggs? Of course, the last time I licked the leftover egg custard doesn't count.

"Saya, we have to find places where there are no people, so that we can have a chance to dig up wild vegetables." Shen Ruoqing reminded.

Shen Xue thought about it and realized that there really was such a place.

"Let's go to the dry well at the west end of the village. There are fewer people there."

There is a well at the west end of the village, but it has been dry for a long time. Over time, no one goes there anymore. Now the whole village relies on the well at the east end for drinking water. There is a daily quota for water use, and the water level of the village stream is almost dry.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Okay, let's go there."

The west end of the village.

There were a lot of weeds here, and maybe because there were not many people here, Shen Xue actually found a few wild vegetables. Shen Ruoqing was delighted.

"Ding - found plantain, five meters ahead."

Plantain is both a wild vegetable and a medicinal herb. The price is definitely higher than that of mugwort. Let’s get started! “San Ya, don’t get other wild vegetables first, get this plantain!”

"Hey, aunt, we are so lucky. There is still plantain here."

The plantains here grow wildly like weeds. If she had known there were so many plantains here, she should have come here earlier! "You pick the plantains here first, and I'll go look somewhere else."

She had just picked some plantain to try it out. Wow, this thing costs 1.5 yuan per pound! It's more expensive than meat! It's sold according to the classification of medicinal materials. Shen Ruoqing looked up the purchase price of medicinal materials in the mall. They are all very expensive. Decided, I will find medicinal materials to sell!

She immediately changed the mall's scanning mode to only scan medicinal materials!

"Ding—a dandelion was found three meters ahead!"

It turns out that dandelions can also be used as medicine!

Shen Ruoqing immediately checked the purchase price of dandelions. It was as high as two yuan per pound! It was more valuable than plantain! What are you waiting for! Dig! Throughout the day, Shen Ruoqing kept digging and selling them through the smuggling system.

"Saya, you did a good job today. Eat this egg quickly, otherwise you won't be able to hide it when you go back." While Shen Ruoqing was urging Shen Xue to eat the egg, he also collected a lot of medicinal herbs and sold them into the system.

While Shen Xue was eating the eggs, Shen Ruoqing suddenly thought of something.
