Chapter 54

Chapter 55

Gezhuang is the closest village to Xiaying Village, because this area is full of mountains, so by the time they arrived at the other village, more than an hour had passed.Such a distance is further than going to town.

But because these villages are close to mountains, just like Gezhuang, it is convenient for villagers to collect medicine and they are naturally close to water and terraces.Of course, not everyone knows about medicinal herbs. Even if they do, many don't bother to go up the mountain to pick them. Even if they do, they only pick a few plants for their own use.

There is no way, no matter it is a drug store or a drug dealer, the price given is not high.Even the price Sheng Xi gave Old Uncle Song before was just a higher price among the short ones, and everyone reluctantly accepted it.

Many people go back and forth all day, and sometimes the money they earn may not even be enough for a meal.In addition, many precious medicinal materials are in the deep mountains. There are not only wolves in the mountains, but also big insects and blind bears. There are many obstacles ahead, and naturally many people are discouraged.

Therefore, although I am embracing the treasure mountain, I am actually just looking at it.

Sheng Xi listened to Sun Qiang and Yang Liu telling her these things along the way, and sighed silently after listening.

Sun Qiang and the two were unaware and talked heartily all the way.

Sheng Xi's eyes returned from the mountain ahead and happened to fall on the donkey that was pulling them away.She was moved and asked Sun Qiang: "Sun Qiang, how much does it cost to rent this donkey cart for a day?"

Sun Qiang choked and subconsciously glanced at Yang Liu, who lowered his head early.

Sun Qiang cursed him in his heart, then sneered and said, "That's twenty cash a day."

Sheng Xi: "..."

Sun Qiang touched his head in embarrassment and continued: "Besides that, there is also a day for this donkey to eat."

Sheng Xi: "...So, you two plan to share twenty, no, more than ten cents between the two of you?"

Sun Qiang was even more embarrassed and secretly grabbed Yang Liu's arm and twisted it.Yang Liu was twisted until he looked ferocious, but he still refused to call out.

It's such a shameful thing, so he better not be the one who stands out.

Sheng Xi naturally saw the little moves between them, and after twitching the corners of his mouth, he asked Yang Liu: "How much does it cost to buy a donkey cart?"

"Ah?" Sun Qiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Sheng Xi to ask this, but Yang Liu pinched him with his backhand, and he just came back to his senses, "It depends on the donkey and the frame. The two prices are different. There are expensive ones and there are cheap ones.”

"How much does the car we are sitting in now cost?" Sheng Xi asked directly.

"Um, about...about four taels?" Sun Qiang said a little uncertainly, turning his head to glance at Yang Liu.

Yang Liu nodded and said: "About the same, the donkey is worth about three taels, and the frame is about one tael if it's new, but if it's used, you can still negotiate the price." Thinking of something, Yang Liu asked Sheng Xi: "Miss Sheng, Do you want to buy a donkey cart?" Anyway, they can't afford it. Since Sheng Xi asked, it can only be done by herself.

Sheng Xi didn't answer in a hurry, but counted the money he had on hand. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "Where's the carriage? How to sell it?"

"A carriage!" Sun Qiang and Yang Liu swallowed at the same time, "I'm afraid this is not easy to buy. Moreover, it is also expensive."

"Why?" Sheng Xi asked.

Sun Qiang explained: "It goes without saying that it is expensive. You can guess it. The carriage you took to the county seat earlier was already an old horse, but it would cost at least seven or eight taels to buy it. If it is young, If you order a horse, the price will be different. After all, there are good horses as well! As for why it is said to be difficult to buy..."

Sun Qiang glanced at Yang Liu, who then picked up what he said: "This horse is a war material, and the court has strict control. If you want to buy it, you need to register with the government. Moreover, there are no horse sellers in the town, only in the county. Sun Qiang added: "Even if there are some, you may not be able to buy them because there are not many horses in the county horse shop."

Sheng Xi didn't expect that buying a horse would be so troublesome. She silently counted the money in her hand. After sighing secretly, she decided not to aim too high: "I'll go to town the day after tomorrow. Will you follow me then?"

"No problem!" Sun Qiang agreed without thinking.

The two made an appointment and then started walking around the streets, asking who had medicinal materials.Sheng Xi was with them at the beginning, but later on, only those two were left busy.

Sheng Xi was very satisfied with this.

I couldn't walk through one village in half a day, and I have to come back tomorrow.But there were only two people, Sun Qiang.Sheng Xi wanted to pay them in advance for tomorrow's purchase, but they refused.

Sun Qiang said sheepishly: "Miss Sheng, you are already kind and righteous enough. We can still afford this amount of money. If you charge more, we, we..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Sheng Xi raised his eyebrows and took the money back: "Sure, let's wait until you get it back."

Sun Qiang and Yang Liu left excitedly, and suddenly only Sheng Xi, Shen An and the others were left at home.

Sheng Xi glanced at the room and asked Shen Anhe, "Where is Xiaoyuan?"

Shen Anhe said: "Just now a child came to see him. Xiaoyuan said it was his little friend and that there was nothing going on at home, so I let them go and play. Wangcai followed."

Sheng Xi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she stared at the medicinal materials stacked in the yard and pursed her lips.

As if he could tell what she was thinking, Shen Anhe pointed to the woodshed and said to her: "Put it here first, and then move to another place when the new house is built." After saying that, he took the lead to approach the woodshed, "I'll put it here temporarily." I’ve built a shelf, so you can put it on it first. The woodshed is fairly dry, so it won’t get wet if you put it on the shelf.”

Sheng Xi was a little surprised when he heard this. After looking at Shen Anhe, he leaned over and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw a three-story wooden frame leaning against the wall. Some of the medicinal materials collected earlier were lying quietly on it. .The woodshed, which was originally a bit messy, now looks much tidier after some tidying up.

"You..." Sheng Xi turned around, forgetting that the two of them were standing at the door at the moment, and almost bumped into Shen Anhe.

Their eyes met, the two people were so close that they could even feel each other breathing.

Sheng Xi opened her mouth, stared at the breathtaking face in front of her and blinked her eyes. She was about to say something, but unexpectedly, Shen Anhe took a step back, lowered his head and said, "I'm going to cook", then turned around. gone.

Sheng Xi: "..." Is she a wild beast?As for being so scary?
Sheng Xi touched his face and thought that his face was pretty good. As for why Shen Anhe behaved like this, well, there was probably no one else but the original owner who could take the blame.

But she didn't see that the redness hidden in the tips of Shen Anhe's ears had spread little by little.

After that, the two of them were doing their own thing. However, until Sheng Xi sorted out all the medicinal materials and put some of them into the space, and Shen Anhe prepared all the dinner, Sheng Guangyuan, who went out to play, still did not come back.

Shen Anhe was a little worried: "Xiao Yuan doesn't come back so late on weekdays."

Sheng Xi frowned slightly.Not to mention Sheng Guangyuan, Wangcai, that snack guy, will definitely be the first one to come back when the time comes.Until now, neither one person nor one dog has come back...

"You stay at home and watch, I'll go out and look for you." After saying that, Sheng Xi went straight out the door.
