Chapter 13: Making a Big Buck

Shen Xinyue guessed correctly, even if the pharmacy in the town is barely open now, there are not many medicinal materials in it, let alone such a precious ginseng.

This thing can be a lifesaver at a critical moment.

"I want all of these, little lady, make a price."

"The shopkeeper will give a price, and if it can be closed, I will sell it, and if it is not cost-effective, forget it."

The shopkeeper did not hesitate: "How about a hundred times?" Or the coin is too heavy, you can also use some silk. ”

What she has in her space is that Shen Xinyue directly returned the price: "Ten taels of gold, plus ten pieces of money." ”

Due to the lack of smelting technology, silver in this dynasty was not yet a currency recognized by the government.

It is said that the golden jade of the troubled times is prosperous, so she directly asked for gold, and the remaining coins can be left to spend slowly.

There are so many shops in the town that are closed, and only this one is still open, and she doesn't believe it.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw her speak, he knew that she was not a fool.

But the ginseng she took out is not only tall and leg, but also in good condition, although it is not as good as a century-old ginseng, it should be available for fifty or sixty years.

If he doesn't want it here, he will definitely have to be cheaper.

After some internal struggle, the shopkeeper turned and went to the back, and when he came back not long after, he already had three more gold bars in his hand.

Then he ordered his men to withdraw ten pieces of money.

Both parties pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

When Shen Xinyue was about to go out, the shopkeeper did not forget to shout: "Little lady, if there are any good things in the future, you will definitely come to patronize them." ”

Coming out of the pawnshop, Shen Xinyue found a hidden corner and dodged into the space.

I took a piece of dark cotton cloth that was resistant to dirt, and then I took a large piece of pure cotton white cloth and a few pieces of underwear and underwear.

The weather is hot and there is no water, so the girls in the family should pay more attention to hygiene.

She went to the daily necessities section to choose two boxes of creams, a few soaps, and most importantly, mosquito coils and toilet water.

There are too many mosquitoes in the wild, and she still has several big bags on her body now.

All packaging needs to be replaced.

Pick out the most common porcelain vase and put things back in it.

A little bit of Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine are also prepared, so that people can avoid taking them out to arouse suspicion.

There are also combs and headbands, and these little things should be prepared as well.

Having almost chosen, she went to the grocery side and picked up a large bag of shortbread.

It is also to remove the packaging, and all of it is wrapped in oiled paper.

Seeing that the miscellaneous things were almost chosen, she took a comfortable shower in the space again, and then changed into clean underwear.

Although reluctantly, he finally put on the original owner's clothes.

Out of the space, she carried a basket full of things and hurried towards the place agreed with Shen Fu'an.

By this time there were several people there.

"A few days ago, brown rice was still fifteen wen, but now it has risen outrageously, it is already twenty wen a catty, this is no way to live."

"Yes, I gritted my teeth and only bought five catties, and the rest of the money was all for medicine. A pair of ordinary medicines for typhoid fever are all more expensive than a pound of rice. ”

While the crowd was talking, they saw her coming, and someone asked, "Where have you been, Crescent?" I didn't see you when I was shopping, there was nothing left in the shop, you had to hurry. ”

The one who spoke was an uncle from his own family, named Shen Dajun, who had many children in the family and an old mother, and the family lived a tight life, but he was very kind and popular in the village.

"Uncle, when I came out of the pawnshop, I met a convoy of a large family, and they brought too many things, so I asked me if I wanted to buy some, and I wondered where to buy it, so I bought something from them."

Everyone was curious: "Why didn't we see it?" Is their stuff cheaper? Is there still a sale? ”

"By the way, Crescent, how much did your wolf skin sell for?"

"They were in a hurry and had already left. The price is about the same as the one in the store, and the money from selling wolf skins is almost all spent at once. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Fuan and Hu Songbai also rushed back.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, everyone left the town together.

After meeting with the villagers, under the leadership of Shen Dacheng, the group walked along the road for more than an hour and entered a nearby mountain forest again.

It was getting dark.

Choosing a relatively gentle clearing, the men cleaned up the hay and went around to collect firewood.

The women began to light a fire and prepare dinner.

The people who also fled the famine in the vicinity followed suit and became busy with them.

There were many people around, and Shen Xinyue only boiled a little porridge, and then took out the shortbread prepared in advance from the back basket.

Now that the weather is hot, this is the only one that can be stored for a longer time.

"This is a shortbread, I met a big family in the town, they brought a lot of things, I was afraid that the road would be too heavy, and they wanted to sell some, so I left."

"Eldest sister, this pastry is so exquisite, it costs a lot of money, right?"

Shen Yingyue carefully picked up the crumbs on her hand and licked it, and found that the taste was very sweet, she had never eaten such a delicious thing.

"Crescent Moon, why did you buy so many things?" Watching her take things out one by one, Mrs. Shen was very surprised.

Shen Xinyue looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Milk, I sold that wolf skin for a full five dollars!" ”

As she spoke, she stretched out a slap and gestured.

"So much?"

Shen Xinyue nodded hurriedly: "That family is in a hurry to leave, I only used four yuan for these things, and you can keep the rest of the milk." ”

Mrs. Shen looked at the money she handed over and pushed it back, glanced around vigilantly, and whispered, "You can collect the money yourself, don't let others see it." ”

Knowing that the eldest granddaughter not only changed the money, but also had these many things in her hand, Mrs. Shen's heart suddenly brightened a lot.

It's enough money, and it seems that the granddaughters don't have to starve.

Shen Xinyue collected the money, turned around and took a shortbread for her, and then picked out two portions of flower water and soap.

"Milk, Uncle Hu and Uncle Hu took great care of us along the way, and it is rare to get these two things, I want to give them a share."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Good boy, you did the right thing." ”

With Mrs. Shen's approval, Shen Xinyue took the things to the two families.

When they learned that the flower water has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects, and there is a fragrant aunt with the fragrance of flowers, the ladies of the two families are not to mention how happy.

These are luxury items that they would not normally think of.

Li Guilan looked at the two things and said embarrassedly: "This thing is too valuable." ”

"Auntie, it's all a family that says it's expensive or not, and I also happened to get this thing, and it's hard to meet it if I want to buy it on weekdays. There are many mosquitoes in the forest, and this effect is good. ”

"Crescent, you're so nice." Shen Lanhua took her hand and shook it happily.

The girl has no resistance to this fragrant thing at all, she is simply rare.

After a few more greetings with Li Guilan and them, Shen Xinyue got up and returned to her own position.

For the next two days, the crowd continued to drive the mountain.

On the third day, all the water brought by the people was used up, and Shen Dacheng had to organize people to find the water source.

Shen Xinyue and the five juniors in the village were in groups of twos and twos, while the rest stayed where they were and waited.
