Chapter 8 Let's Get 400 Taels
Shen Ningning didn't pay attention to what he said.

Because, she was thinking, should she also give the red fruit left on her body to the old man!
The red fruit grows in the fairyland and is watered by the spiritual spring.

Can keep fit.

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

"Grandpa, I'll leave this for you. If you feel uncomfortable, eat it! I have to go, I can't be with you."

She has to go on her way, and her grandma and brother are waiting for her.

Shen Ningning walked away with little feet.

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

Shen Ningning walked for another hour, and gradually he could see pedestrians.

She was overjoyed and quickened her pace.

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

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

When Shen Ningning looked around, he found that there were many ragged people with sallow complexions not far from the city gate.

Some of them are lying down, some are sitting.

Others were motionless, with flies flying around their bodies, and the stench was suffocating!
All of them had sunken cheeks and dull eyes.

Shen Ningning was stunned.

This should be the refugee that grandma mentioned, right?

suddenly!

A luxurious carriage came from outside.

"Dingling--" the bells at the four corners of the car eaves rang.

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

The nobleman in the carriage threw a few jujube cakes from the window, and they fell on the ground, stained with dirt.

As long as they catch food, they will stuff it into their mouths immediately, and some people even fight to grab a bite.

A group of officers and 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 suddenly panicked.

Shen Ningning was frightened, hugged her little cloth bag tightly, and ran towards the city while taking advantage of the chaos.

Compared to the chaos outside the city.

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

There was a peddler pushing a water cart, accompanied by six guards, and peddling: "One bucket of clean water, ten taels!"

The beggars were staring at it, but they didn't dare to go forward to grab it.

Twelve!

Shen Ningning counted with her little finger.

She remembered that Aunt Qin said that a cylinder of rice in her family would cost 20 taels outside.

Twelve taels and a bucket of water can only be used for three days.

She looked again at the cloth shop that made shoes.

A pair of better shoes cost three taels, and those shiny and beautiful silks were priced at 50 taels.

Shen Ningning retreated in embarrassment.

She looked down at her shoes with protruding toes, and she still planned to go to the pharmacy first to see how much money the medicinal materials could exchange for!

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

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

Guys treat them with respect.

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

He waved 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 beside him: "I'm not here to beg for food, I... I sell medicinal materials!"

The guy paused, then looked at her again, his eyes full of sarcasm: "You? What kind of medicinal materials are you selling? It's agreed in advance that we don't accept things of unknown origin."

"Besides, if the quality is not good, our Huichun Hall will not accept it!"

Shen Ningning untied the rag bag, and carefully took out the purple ganoderma lucidum from inside.

"This, do you accept it?"

Dude's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

He widened his eyes, looking at the purple ganoderma lucidum still stained with dew in the little guy's hand.

It is the size of a palm, and its appearance is very good. In this drought year, it may not be possible to grow one in 50 years!
"You, you, you, wait." The guy started to stutter: "I'll ask the shopkeeper!"

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

Soon there was a startled cry from inside.

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

The little guy was looking around the pharmacy with curious eyes, holding a 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 behind him with small 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 must, as long as the price is right, but I want to ask you first, where did you get this purple ganoderma?"

A good medicinal material like this is absolutely impossible to be wild.

"I planted it myself." Shen Ningning said.

The shopkeeper was surprised.

Most of those drug dealers have their own medicine gardens.

However, in the year of drought, there were only two rains in the capital this year, which was not enough for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum.

Where did this girl get one from?
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.

Shen Ningning was a little uneasy: "Grandpa the shopkeeper, if you don't want it, I'll go ask another place, sorry for the trouble."

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

"Wait!" The shopkeeper pressed her little hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, why not."

"This purple ganoderma, I'll give you 80 taels, what do you think?"

In fact, according to the market price, purple ganoderma is sold by the catty!

Giving 100 taels per catty is not an exaggeration!

But he just wanted to test it out, this little guy, does he know how to do it?

Shen Ningning thought about it.

80 taels, you can buy a lot of things!
She nodded readily: "Sell! Five pieces, a total of 400 taels!"

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

Shen Ningning spread out the rag bag, and there were four purple Ganoderma lucidums of the same quality inside!
The shopkeeper almost couldn't stand still.

This little girl is a rich merchant of medicinal materials!
At such a young age, I took out five purple Ganoderma lucidum directly!

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

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

Can you still order medicine like ordering food, everything you need? !
The shopkeeper said: "Ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, if you have them, I can take them too."

Shen Ningning nodded slightly, and wrote it down.

After a while, the clerk came in with a 400 tael bank note.

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

She hesitated for a moment: "Can this be spent? I'm going shopping."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Of course, if it's not convenient for you, I can exchange it for you with a bag of silver, but it's very heavy, so you have to take it."

Shen Ningning hummed: "It's still more convenient!"

After half a stick of incense.

She took the silver and left the pharmacy.

Shen Ningning didn't forget that she was looking for a doctor, but before that, she had to buy something and bring them back together!

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

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

After entering the cloth shop, he didn't wait for the shopkeeper to urge her to drive her away.

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

She stretched out her small hand, pointing to a set of men's robes hanging on the wall, the price was clearly marked, 80 taels.
