Chapter 8 Let's Spend Four Hundred Taels First

Shen Ningning didn't listen to him attentively.

Because she was thinking whether to give the remaining red fruit to the grandfather!

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

It can strengthen the body.

The little guy thought about it and took the initiative to put the red fruit in his hand.

"Grandpa, this is for you. Eat it when you feel uncomfortable! I have to go and can't accompany you."

She still has to hurry, grandma and brother are waiting for her.

Shen Ningning walked away with her little feet.

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

Shen Ningning walked for nearly an hour and gradually saw pedestrians.

She was happy and hurriedly 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 not far from the city gate, there were many people in ragged clothes and sallow faces.

Some of them were lying, some were sitting.

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

All of them were thin with sunken cheeks and dull eyes.

Shen Ningning was stunned.

This should be the refugees that grandma mentioned, right?

Suddenly!

A luxurious carriage drove in from outside.

"Dinglingling——" The bells on the four corners of the carriage rang.

The group of refugees who looked like "dead people" moved like crazy.

The nobleman riding in the carriage threw a few jujube cakes from the window, which fell to the ground and were covered with dirty soil. The refugees didn't care and swarmed over them.

As long as they caught the food, they immediately stuffed it into their mouths, and some people even fought to grab a bite of food.

A group of soldiers came out and shouted to stop them, and beat them with sticks. The refugees made a lot of noise in order to resist.

The scene was suddenly in a panic.

Shen Ningning was frightened, hugged her small cloth bag tightly, and ran into the city in the chaos.

Compared with the chaos outside the city.

The city was relatively calm, but beggars huddled under the wall could be seen everywhere.

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

Those beggars stared at it covetously, but they didn't dare to rush forward to grab it.

Ten taels!

Shen Ningning counted on her little fingers.

She remembered that Aunt Qin said that her family's one jar of rice would cost twenty taels if bought outside.

A bucket of water of ten taels can only be used for three days.

She looked at the cloth shop that made shoes again.

A pair of better shoes cost three taels, and those beautiful shining silks were priced at fifty taels.

Shen Ningning retreated in embarrassment.

She looked down at her shoes with toes sticking out, and decided to go to the medicine shop first to see how much silver she could get for the herbs!

After much difficulty, she found a shop with the word "medicine" on it.

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

The guys were very respectful to them.

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

He waved his hand and drove her away: "Little beggar, go away, go away, there's nothing to eat here!"

Shen Ningning was pushed several times by him, and immediately hugged the pillar beside her: "I'm not here to beg, I... I sell herbs!"

The guy paused and looked at her again, his eyes full of sarcasm: "You? What herbs are you selling? Let me tell you in advance that we don't accept things of unknown origin."

"And if the quality is not good, we at Huichuntang will not accept it!"

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

"This, do you want it?"

The clerk's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He stared at the purple Ganoderma lucidum in the little guy's hand, which was still covered with dew.

It was the size of a palm and of excellent quality. In this drought year, it might not grow even once in fifty years!

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

After that, he took the purple Ganoderma lucidum and went into the inner hall.

Someone soon shouted in surprise from inside.

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

The little guy was full of curiosity, looking around the medicine shop, holding the rag bag tightly in his arms.

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

Shen Ningning nodded: "Do you want it?"

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

Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment, but still 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.

"Shopkeeper, do you want it?" she asked hurriedly.

"Of course I want it, as long as the price is right, but I want to ask you first, where did you get this purple Ganoderma lucidum?"

Such a good medicinal material can never be wild.

"I grew it myself." Shen Ningning said.

The shopkeeper was shocked.

Most of those drug dealers have their own medicine gardens.

But now it is a drought year, and there have only been two rains in the capital this year, which is not enough for Ganoderma lucidum to grow.

Where did this girl get one from?

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.

Shen Ningning was a little uneasy: "Shopkeeper, if you don't want it, I will ask other families. Sorry to bother you."

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

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

"This purple Ganoderma lucidum, I'll give you eighty taels per piece, 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, you 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!

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

Shen Ningning blinked her crystal eyes and asked clearly: "Grandpa shopkeeper, what is the most expensive here? I will plant it when I go back and bring it to you."

Can you order medicine just like ordering food, with everything you need? !

The shopkeeper said: "If you have ginseng and fleece-flower root, I can take them too."

Shen Ningning nodded slightly and wrote it down.

After a while, the boy came in with a silver note of four hundred taels.

The little guy has only seen silver, not this thing.

She hesitated: "Can I spend this? I have to go shopping."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, I can exchange it for you with a bag of silver. It's just very heavy, so you have to take it."

Shen Ningning hummed and said, "Money is more convenient!"

After half a stick of incense.

She took the money and left the drug store.

Shen Ningning did not forget that she was looking for the doctor, but before that, she had to buy something and take it back with her!

The little guy went straight to the cloth store he just passed by.

With the heavy amount of money on her back, she walked with her head held high, full of confidence!

When she entered the cloth store, she was driven away before the shopkeeper could urge her.

The little guy already said softly: "I want to buy this dress!"

She stretched out her little hand and pointed at a set of men's robes hanging on the wall. The price was clearly marked, eighty taels.
