When Qin Jiaoxi ran up the mountain, several women were still talking nonsense: "She looks like a half-grown girl, and she has no education at all!"
"I heard she's from the city outside. My family doesn't worry about letting her run around like this, and she even goes to the old man's house alone..."
Qin Jiaoxi's internal strength is not weak now, and he can hear the discussions of the village women behind him.
But she turned a deaf ear and had no intention of going back to explain.
She is not from the same world, so why should she have to be understood by everyone?
Old Man Chen's house is on the mountainside. It's not big, but it's very neat.
Of course it's because his son married a wife.
Now his son goes fishing in the river outside the valley in the spring, and his wife also goes out early and returns home late to do embroidery in the village to avoid being gossiped about in the house.
So when Qin Jiaoxi found Old Man Chen, he was sitting alone at the door of the house, sharpening several sickles and axes commonly used for digging medicine.
"Uncle Chen!"
Qin Jiaoxi did not hesitate, stepped forward and took out an old ginseng and said: "In the past few days, I have dug some medicinal materials on the mountain col and want to find a place to sell them. I wonder if Uncle Chen knows what doctors are needed in this valley.
Such old ginseng?"
Old man Chen raised his eyes and looked at the old ginseng, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
"Girl, this medicine of yours is not, where did you say you got it from?"
Qin Jiaoxi smiled and said: "In the dense forest below the mountain col, I asked my mother to tie a long rope around my waist, and then I went into the mountain to collect herbs and dug it!"
Old man Chen looked at her dumbfounded: "Is this okay?"
No, how long must the rope be to allow her to go deep into the jungle to find such a good thing?
Qin Jiaoxi said again: "Then can you tell me which doctor is more suitable to sell this medicinal material to? How much money can it be sold for?"
Old Man Chen threw away the sickle in his hand: "Girl, this medicine is suitable for you to sell to any doctor. No one will not want this old ginseng!"
He paused: "I think this old ginseng has been around for fifty years, right? For this reason, at least two taels of silver..."
"But, girl, when you were digging for medicine in the mountains, was this the only old ginseng around you? Are there no other medicinal materials?"
Qin Jiaoxi thought for a moment, then took out the Ganoderma lucidum from her arms and said, "Also, there are these mushrooms. They look delicious. I plan to give my mother soup to replenish her health at night!"
Old Chen's eyes suddenly widened: "Mushroom, mushroom?"
Qin Jiaoxi blinked: "Has Grandpa Chen never seen such a big mushroom?"
"Although it looks a bit dark, I think it's definitely not poisonous..."
Old Chen's eyes suddenly rolled: "Girl, can you sell this mushroom to me, old man?"
"In this way, instead of running around looking for doctors, Grandpa Chen will give you two taels of silver to buy your old ginseng, and then give you fifty coppers to buy your mushrooms, okay?"
Qin Jiaoxi bit her lip: "Really? Grandpa Chen didn't lie to Xiaoxi?"
Old Chen quickly explained: "That's right, Grandpa Chen's wife is pregnant recently, so she needs to eat something good to replenish her body..."
"Well, but I don't have any money at the moment. I have to sell the medicine to the doctors before I can get the money. How about..."
"Girl, if you agree, Grandpa, I will personally take you to find a doctor to sell the old ginseng, and how about I negotiate a good price for you?"
"But you have to sell your mushrooms to me first!"
