Chapter 8 Let’s get four hundred taels first(1/2)

Shen Ningning did not listen to him attentively.

Because she was thinking about whether to give the remaining red fruits to her grandfather!

The red fruit grows in fairyland and is watered by spiritual springs.

Can strengthen the body.

The little guy thought for a while and took the initiative to put the red fruit in his hand.

"Grandpa, I'll leave this for you. Eat it if you feel uncomfortable! I have to leave, I can't stay with you."

She still had to go on her way, and her grandma and brother were waiting for her.

Shen Ningning walked away with her little feet.

The old man tried hard to see her clearly, but the blur in front of his eyes made him unable to see anything.

Shen Ningning walked for nearly an hour, and gradually she could see pedestrians.

She was overjoyed and quickly quickened her pace.

The tall and wide city gate of the capital appeared not far away.

She walked over obediently, followed the bustling crowd, and lined up to enter the city.

When Shen Ningning looked around, she found that there were many people in ragged clothes and sallow faces not far from the city gate.

Some of them were lying down and some were sitting.

Some were motionless, with flies flying around their bodies, and the stench was overwhelming!

All of them have thin, sunken cheeks and dull eyes.

Shen Ningning was stunned.

This should be the refugee that grandma mentioned, right?

suddenly!

A luxurious carriage drove from outside.

"Ding-a-ling--" the bells on the four corners of the car eaves jingled.

The group of "dead" refugees began to move like crazy.

The nobleman riding in the carriage threw a few date cakes out of the carriage window. They fell to the ground and were stained with dirt. The refugees ignored them and swarmed over them.

As soon as they caught something to eat, they stuffed it into their mouths immediately, and some even fought over it to get a bite.

A group of officers and soldiers came out angrily to stop them and beat them with sticks. In order to resist, the refugees made a lot of noise.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

Shen Ningning was frightened, hugged her little cloth bag tightly, and took advantage of the chaos to run towards the city.

Compared to the chaos outside the city.

The city is relatively peaceful, but beggars can be seen everywhere huddled under the walls.

There was a hawker pushing a water cart, accompanied by six guards, shouting: "A bucket of clean water, ten taels!"

The beggars stared at it eagerly, but they didn't dare to step forward to grab it.

Twelve!

Shen Ningning counted with her little fingers.

She remembered that Aunt Qin said that a tank of rice at her house would cost twenty taels if bought outside.

Twelve buckets of water can only be used for three days.

She looked again at the cloth shop that made shoes.

A pair of better shoes costs three taels, and those beautiful shiny silks are priced at fifty taels.

Shen Ningning retreated in embarrassment.

She looked down at her shoes with protruding toes, and decided to go to the drug store first to see how much money she could get for the medicinal materials!

Finally, I found a shop with the word "medicine" floating on it.

There were many well-dressed maids and servants in the shop, queuing up to get medicine.

The guys treat them with respect.

When it was Shen Ningning's turn, the guy just looked at her.

He waved his hand to drive her away: "Little beggar, go away, go away, there is nothing to eat here for you!"

Shen Ningning was pushed several times by him and immediately hugged the pillar on the side: "I'm not here to beg for food, I... I sell medicinal materials!"

The clerk paused and looked at her again, his eyes full of ridicule: "You? What kind of medicinal materials are you selling? Make sure you agree in advance that we will not accept anything from unknown sources."

"Moreover, if the quality is not good, we at Hui Chun Tang will not accept it!"

Shen Ningning untied the rag bag and carefully took out the purple Ganoderma lucidum.

"Do you want to take this?"

The guy's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

He widened his eyes and looked at the dew-stained purple ganoderma in the little guy's hand.

It is about the size of a palm and is in excellent condition. In this drought year, one may not be able to grow in fifty years!

"You, you, wait." The waiter began to stutter: "I'll ask the shopkeeper!"

After saying that, he took the purple ganoderma and entered the inner hall.

Someone's startled shout soon came from inside.

After a while, the tall and thin shopkeeper came out. When the waiter pointed, he saw Shen Ningning sitting obediently on the stool.

The little guy was looking around the drug store with curious eyes, holding the rag bag tightly in his arms.

"Little baby, is this purple Ganoderma lucidum yours?" the shopkeeper walked over and asked with a smile.

Shen Ningning nodded: "Do you want it?"

But the shopkeeper said: "Don't worry, let's go into the inner hall and have a good chat."

Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment, then jumped off the stool and followed him with her little feet.

After entering the inner hall, the shopkeeper offered a cup of tea, but Shen Ningning refused to drink it.

"Grandpa shopkeeper, do you want it?" she asked urgently.

"If you definitely want it, as long as the price is right, but I have to ask you first, where did you get this purple Ganoderma?"

A good medicinal material with a quality like this cannot come from the wild.

"I grew it myself," Shen Ningning said.

The shopkeeper was shocked.

Most of those drug dealers have their own medicine gardens.

But in this drought year, the capital has only received two rains this year, which is not enough for Ganoderma lucidum to grow.

Where did this girl get one?

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.

Shen Ningning was a little uneasy: "Grandpa shopkeeper, if you don't want it, I'll go ask someone else. Sorry to bother you."

She picked up the purple ganoderma on the table and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" The shopkeeper pressed her little hand and said with a smile: "Yes, why don't you want it?"

"I'll give you eighty-two pieces of purple Ganoderma lucidum. What do you think?"

In fact, according to the market price, purple Ganoderma is sold by the pound!

One hundred taels per pound is not an exaggeration!

But he just wanted to test whether this little guy knew how to do it!

Shen Ningning thought for a while.

Eighty taels can buy a lot of things!

She nodded readily: "Sell! Five of them, a total of four hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper couldn't sit still anymore and suddenly stood up: "Five?!"

Shen Ningning opened the rag bag, and there were four purple Ganoderma lucidum of the same quality inside!

The shopkeeper could hardly stand still.

This little girl is a wealthy merchant of medicinal materials!

At such a young age, I just took out five purple Ganoderma lucidum sticks!

"You...you..." The shopkeeper's lips were trembling, and he didn't know what to say.
To be continued...
