Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 63 Selling Letters
The new house is built.

Aunt Jiang moved in to live with Lin Xiaoxiao again, watching the neighbors below like a thief every day.

Aunt Jiang is different from other villagers.She has no other relatives, so she treats Lin Xiaoxiao like a daughter.

Lin Xiaoxiao also treats Mrs. Jiang like family.

The days are getting warmer, and there are more mosquitoes in the mountains.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out the stored mugwort leaves and other medicinal herbs from the warehouse, and organized everyone to carry out mosquito control work, especially the place where manure was concentrated.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the passage down the mountain becomes smooth.

Lin Xiaoxiao has more free time, so she thinks about earning points.

After a winter of consumption, most of the herbs stored in the warehouse have been used up, and I have to go to other mountains to collect herbs.

Spring is the season for all things to grow. Some specific herbs must be collected in spring, and if you miss it, you have to wait for a year.

So, Lin Xiaoxiao went down the mountain to collect herbal medicines and earn points for free consultations.

In the nearer places, we ride donkeys, and in the farther places, we drive small four-wheelers.Electric cars can save the gas that the points are redeemed for.

The first stop she went to was of course Yangshou Mountain.

Speaking of which, Axiu's family moved back to Yangshou Mountain before, after all, it was very inconvenient to squeeze in Niushou Mountain with Hu Zigui and the others.

Axiu and her father continued to raise donkeys for the nobles in Tancheng.A Chai went to Yangshou Mountain to look for Shen Wuxuejian every now and then.

There were more donkeys in the backyard of Axiu's house, and there were actually twelve of them.Could it be that the nobles in the city finally discovered the advantages of donkeys?
While putting fodder in the stone trough, Father Axiu said, "All the donkeys raised before last winter were brought into the city, and they were slaughtered by the nobles to eat meat. It is said that many nobles like the taste of donkey meat, and now they are transported from other places. Donkeys that come here are very popular in the city, and the price has risen.”

The corner of Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched and said: "The nobles in the city still lack meat to eat. The biggest advantage of a donkey is that it has better endurance than horses, cattle and sheep, and it is better for carrying things in farm work."

That being said, Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't care about the nobles in the city, just worrying about them blindly.

This time the free clinic tour in spring is not outside all the time. After staying outside for three to five days, I will return to Niushou Mountain, and then come out after a while.

On the one hand, Lin Xiaoxiao remembers the field of Niu Shou Mountain.On the one hand, she collected a lot of medicinal materials from the free clinic and needed to go back to dry.

In order to collect medicinal materials, Lin Xiaoxiao made a special trip to Jianshui City.

She didn't dare to have a free clinic in Jianshui City, she was afraid of offending others, and she was also afraid of encountering a powerful doctor.

It took almost two months for Lin Xiaoxiao to visit almost all the savage villages around Tancheng.Due to the free clinic in the previous winter, the points only increased by more than 200 this time.

Next, Lin Xiaoxiao planned to go to Cannes in the east.

In winter, she also had a free clinic around Cannes, but she only walked half of the village and never entered Cannes.

Hearing that there is the only school in Hua Country on Cannes Road, Lin Xiaoxiao plans to visit Cannes.

Kangcheng is on the back of Niushou Mountain, and the distance from Taoyuan's secret passage is even closer.

Lin Xiaoxiao brought Mei Ya and Wu Yong to Cannes as usual.The entry fee for Kangcheng is [-] cloth coins per person, which is only one-fifth of Tancheng's.

In a vassal state that advocates commerce like Huaguo, Cannes can be called an alternative.

The largest building in the city is not the City Lord's Mansion, but the Cannes Academy.

Influenced by Cannes Academy, the most shops in the city sell bamboo slips and pen-ink carving knives.There are also many shops here that specialize in customizing bamboo slips, which are to help people burn bamboo slips with content, just like bookstores.There are also shops that collect bamboo slips, and the prices are very high.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked into a bookstore curiously.

The shopkeeper came up to greet him: "Miss, are you buying books or copying them?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked: "Excuse me, are there any medical books or books introducing medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, but these kinds of slips are more expensive," the shopkeeper led Lin Xiaoxiao to a row of bookshelves, "all three rows."

Lin Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, and wanted to ask again: "Can I take a look?"

"can."

Lin Xiaoxiao took down a letter and unfolded it.

On the bamboo slips were knife-cut scripts, Lin Xiaoxiao could barely tell that the contents were about the methods of collecting and processing medicines.

Lin Xiaoxiao changed a few more.

Some of these slips talked about poisons, some talked about miscellaneous prescriptions for diseases such as cold, heat and distress, and some talked about grains and vegetables.There are many varieties and complete categories.

It turns out that in this era, people's communication on medicine has been so rich.

Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to send all these slips to the warehouse, but unfortunately she had no money.

This store only accepts pre-order slips, that is, after the customer selects the slips, they will be engraved by the store, and they will be available after half a month.

There is a box of gold in Lin Xiaoxiao's warehouse, but it belongs to Hu Zi.Her own money is only more than 300 in total, and she has already spent [-] in the city.

Lin Xiaoxiao put down the letter, pretended to be looking for something in her backpack, and took out a letter from the warehouse.

This is a letter engraved by Lin Xiaoxiao herself. The content is about the method of preventing typhoid in winter, and the method of making ginger candy is also appended at the end.

This slip is practical, and it was summed up by Lin Xiaoxiao during the free clinic in winter.

Lin Xiaoxiao named it "Miscellaneous Essays on the Prevention of Winter Plague in Shannv".

"Shopkeeper, do you accept slips here?"

The shopkeeper was obviously surprised, took Lin Xiaoxiao's letter and unfolded it.

Lin Xiaoxiao has been learning seal characters for some time, and she is also proficient in carving bamboo slips, so at first glance, her bamboo slips will not look clumsier than those on the shelf.

"Where did the girl get this letter?"

"There is a mountain girl in our village, and she carved this letter herself. She has been practicing medicine in the mountains all year round, and she still walked in the mountains in the snow last winter, saving many people. The ginger candy recipe at the end of the letter, Shannv even made it herself and distributed it to everyone."

"Why is the slip in your hand? Did Shannu ever agree to sell it?"

"Shannv specially ordered me to bring the slips to Cannes. She is willing to sell the slips. I hope more people will read this slip. Everyone will not get sick in winter."

The shopkeeper recorded everything Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Finally, the shopkeeper asked again: "Where did the girl come from?"

"I'm from Niushou Mountain in the west of Kangcheng, and my surname is Lin."

"Ms. Lin's letter, the store has accepted five hundred cloth coins, do you think it is feasible?"

"feasible."

Lin Xiaoxiao got [-] and spent it on the spot.

She ordered two letters, both of which are medical books.The shopkeeper gave her a discount and only charged her five hundred cloth coins.It's like she exchanged one letter for two letters and returned.

Bookstores are certainly not bad.A letter can be sold for as much as three hundred cloth coins.

There are almost no restrictions on the types of letters received by bookstores.

Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking about what other slips she could engrave and sell here, and one day she would be able to buy all the medical books on the shelves.

The trip to Cannes is worthwhile just based on the letters I bought.
