Chapter 12 Selling Ginseng
On the second day, everyone went out of the mountains and forests and finally went to the official road.
But I found that there were suddenly a lot of refugees on the road.
Shen Fu'an, who went to explore the way, replied: "I asked just now, the army of the Red Moon Kingdom in the west has crossed, and General Lu of Quyang has been trapped in the city for more than ten days, and it seems that it will not be able to hold it, so the people nearby have all escaped. ”
The Red Moon Kingdom is located in the west of the Great Yuan Dynasty, although it does not occupy a large area, but its ambition is not small, and it often harasses the border people.
Shenjia Village is less than 100 miles away from the border between the two countries, fortunately they escaped quickly, otherwise they might be affected at this time.
"Thanks to General Lu in the past few years, everyone has only lived a few days of peace, and now, hey!"
When someone heard the news, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's hurry up and travel more during the day, so that we can avoid any situation. Everyone follow suit, don't be swept away by others. ”
Shen Dacheng said and began to beckon everyone to hurry up.
Shen Xinyue took down the two back baskets on the cart and handed them to Shen Yingyue and Shen Sanyue, and then said, "Milk, you take Ji Yue and sit in the car, so that you can travel faster." ”
Fighting is not a joke, who knows when the enemy will attack, it is better to hurry up.
Mrs. Shen didn't want to drag her granddaughter back, so she didn't say a word and got into the trolley with her little granddaughter in her arms.
The group was in a hurry, and when they stopped to rest at noon, Shen Dacheng called everyone together.
"I just inquired, ten miles further is Jufu Town, I don't know when I will meet the town next time, why don't you take this opportunity to go to the town to supply some things."
When they heard this, they all agreed.
So, after the break, the group hit the road again and walked in the direction of Jufu Town.
However, before I arrived in the town, I saw a lot of people hurrying out of the city from a distance.
Everyone is dragging their families, some are carrying packages on their bodies, and those who have conditions will drive mule carts, and three or five families form a convoy.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Why are so many people going out?" ”
A man pushing a wheelbarrow sighed helplessly and replied, "The horse bandits came again last night, and they have already come three times this month." ”
Shen Xinyue was puzzled: "Don't you care about the county master?" ”
"They rode on horses, and they came and went as fast as they came. It is said that in the past six months alone, several groups of horse bandits have appeared nearby, and the county magistrate has no way to take them. There's no way to stay in the town, so you'll have to figure it out on your own. ”
The man was in a hurry, and when he left, he didn't forget to say: "Now the people in the town are in a hurry to move, if there is nothing important, you should also leave quickly, maybe when the horse bandits will come again." ”
Everyone thanked the man and looked at Shen Dacheng one after another.
"Village chief, this horse bandit is not a joke, I heard that they do all kinds of bad things, kill people without blinking, or let's leave quickly."
"Yes, it's better to save your life first, and you can buy things whenever you want."
Listening to everyone's words, Shen Xinyue was secretly anxious in her heart.
How can she exchange money if she doesn't go into the city, and how can she take things out of the space openly?
"Uncle, I think I still have to go into the city. I don't know what the situation is on the official road ahead, but it is certainly very dangerous. If you continue to walk the mountain road, you will never be able to do without food, as well as medicinal herbs and clothing, in case you get sick or it rains, you will die. ”
Hu Songbai echoed: "The crescent girl is right, the time for us to come out is still shallow, these problems have not yet been encountered, in case you are really sick, the lack of medical treatment is a big deal." ”
Shen Dacheng thought for a while and said: "With so many people entering the city, it will definitely take time, so it is better for each household to send someone out to determine what to buy, and we will come out as soon as we finish buying in the city." ”
Nothing else had an opinion, and the matter was settled.
Shen Dacheng stayed behind to take care of the villagers, and Shen Fuan took everyone to the town to buy things.
"Yingyue, sister goes to the city to buy things, you take care of your grandmother and little sister."
Shen Xinyue said and picked up the basket and entered the city with Shen Fuan.
At this moment, five or six of the ten houses in the city were empty, and a few pedestrians on the street occasionally looked hurried.
"Brother Fu'an, I'm going to go to the pawnshop first."
"Will I accompany you?"
"No, you don't." Shen Xinyue waved her hand: "You guys are busy with yours, let's just gather here in a while." ”
Seeing her say this, Shen Fuan didn't insist, and turned his head to beckon the others to go shopping.
Seeing them leaving, Shen Xinyue turned her head and walked towards a pawnshop at the corner of the street in front of her.
Almost the entire street shop is closed, except for this pawnshop, which is still open.
In this kind of critical time, everyone needs money, and things are outside the body.
So pawnshops can make a lot of money.
Seeing that it was a little girl who came in, the guy behind the counter just lifted his eyelids and drooped again.
"When what?"
Shen Xinyue took out the wolf skin and handed it over: "Wolf skin." ”
"It's not worth a few bucks, at most half a dollar."
Shen Xinyue said directly: "Wuguan, don't agree with me to find another home." ”
The other party's eyelids moved, and finally raised his eyes to look over: "Little lady, you don't look at the current situation, everyone is in a hurry to flee, this wolf skin should not be eaten or drunk, and it is already a lot of money to be able to give half a piece of money." In this way, it is not easy for me to see you as a girl, at most consistently. ”
"Four runs."
"Consistent and half!"
"If it is put in a good time, the cost of a wolf skin for ten times also makes my price very low, four times, and it can't be lower."
The guy looked back at the shopkeeper behind him, saw the other party nodding, and stretched out three fingers: "Sanguan, if you go to another house, it will definitely not be higher than this price." ”
Shen Xinyue also knew the current situation, and it was useless to keep this wolf skin, so she nodded and agreed.
When he took the bill and money, he asked as if unintentionally: "By the way, do you accept ginseng here?" ”
This time, without waiting for the guy to speak, an eager voice came from behind: "Little lady has ginseng?" ”
Shen Xinyue pretended to bow her head to get the back basket, but in fact, she quickly took out a dozen ginseng sticks from the space.
The ginseng in her space is all artificially cultivated, and the age is very shallow, each of which is only about three or five years old.
However, she had already increased the medicinal value of these ginsengs for at least twenty or thirty years through her abilities.
Because it is artificially cultivated, it is inevitable that the price will be lowered when you go to the pharmacy, so it is better to sell it here.
Seeing that she took out more than a dozen ginseng sticks as soon as she made a move, the guy and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded.
The reason why Shen Xinyue took so much was mainly because there were a lot of these things in the space, and there was definitely a difference between the ripe ones and the wild ones.
In order to sell for more money, I took a few more.
But looking at the eyes of the two, she also guessed that this thing is definitely not cheap.
