Chapter 11 11 Entering the City
"You don't have to run around. You go to Huichun Hall first. If the shopkeeper can give you more than 150 taels, you can sell it."

"Otherwise, you can go to Baohe Hall again."

"These two drug stores have been open in the town for more than ten years. They have a good reputation and the shopkeepers' bids are fair."

"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang agreed.

My mother-in-law has been collecting and selling medicines for more than [-] years, so she must be very familiar with the situation of the pharmacies in the town.

After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Shen added: "It's best to sell the ginseng directly to Huichun Hall. The price provided by the shopkeeper is more than 150 taels."

"Don't show off your wealth and act with caution." Ms. Shen reminded.

Shen Shuangshuang understood what Shen said.

Ginseng is extremely valuable, so it’s not worth it to be targeted in order to sell it at a high price.After all, she was a woman, and she was alone.

Well, at least in the eyes of her mother-in-law, she is a weak woman...

"Yes. Don't worry, Mom, I will be careful." Shen Shuangshuang said.

Shen finally let go.

"Then you can go alone tomorrow."

"Ling'er and I are waiting for you at home. You should go early and come back early."

"Okay!" Shen Shuang's eyes lit up with joy and he quickly agreed.

"You tell me which medicines Mom wants to grab and what things I need to buy at home, and I will memorize them."

She originally wanted to write it down, after all, she had a notebook and a pen in her space.But he changed his mind.

Mrs. Shen thought for a while and began to give Shen Shuangshuang the names of the medicinal materials.

After finishing speaking, he added: "In addition to these medicinal materials, you can buy a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. There are also oil lamps and lamp oil, and I will pull six feet of cloth and I will make two sets of clothes for you and Ling'er. And... "

Shen said a long list accidentally.

When he found that Shen Shuangshuang was motionless, he couldn't help but laugh.

Then close your eyes and sleep.

My daughter-in-law has been working hard these past two days. Let’s talk about carrying the medicinal materials tomorrow.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't hear Shen continue to speak and opened her eyes.

She was not asleep, but went into the space to write notes.

Seeing that Shen had closed her eyes, Shen Shuangshuang didn't bother.

I entered the space again and thought about and recorded what I wanted to buy tomorrow.

Write down the items you want to purchase first so that you won't be in a hurry when you get into town.

First of all, there are various seasonings, two pounds of sugar, two pounds of salt, two pounds of vinegar, two pounds of soy sauce, chili... It seems that there is no such thing in this era... Forget the seasonings, let's buy these first...

Then comes the meat, first ten pounds of pork fat to boil in oil, then three pounds, oh no, five pounds of three-strand meat with alternating fat and thin.Well, that's it, time is tight this time, so I won't buy any other meat yet.

Then came the oil lamps and lamp oil that my mother-in-law asked for, as well as pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and fabrics.

By the way, you can buy more fabric.It is best to make two new sets of clothes for each person in the family.

Now each of them only had two sets of clothes to change, and they were all covered with patches, so she didn't dare to use too much force when washing clothes.

Not just clothes, but shoes too.

My mother-in-law would definitely disagree with buying ready-made shoes.

Buy some materials and tools for making shoes, as well as a sewing kit and let your mother-in-law do it slowly.Just enough for her to pass the time.

Well... I also need to add some things to the kitchen, and...

Shen Shuangshuang wrote more and more.

When you notice something is wrong, stop immediately.

Then start making cuts on the draft.

Only a few important and relatively lightweight items were left behind.

You can't become fat by eating in one go, so you'd better take your time.

The next day, Shen Shuangshuang got up before dawn.

I went to the kitchen to prepare the food, sent the things to the room for my mother-in-law and son, and then hurried out with a basket on my back.

The Shen family is very close to the entrance of the village, so Shen Shuangshuang did not meet anyone in the village when he left.

After leaving the village, Shen Shuangshuang quickly became an official.

There are already people on the official road.Perhaps because the Chengxi Market in Shangyang Town is going to the market today, there are many people going to Shanyang Town.

Everyone generally carries a backpack, and some people even push carts.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw the cart, he was very envious.

I thought that I would buy a cart myself when I entered the city later.

Then he pushed the cart to the east side of the city to sell fruit.

With the trolley, it will be convenient for her to push her mother-in-law into the city for medical treatment.

Yes, Shen Shuangshuang did not give up the idea of ​​treating Shen's leg.

After all, she has space, and there are still four ginseng plants growing inside.Sooner or later she will become rich.

It's just a leg treatment for my mother-in-law. She can afford the money.

After a while, an open ox cart suddenly drove past Shen Shuangshuang.

Then Shen Shuangshuang's thought of envying people pushing carts disappeared.

What is a trolley?When she gets rich, buy a cow!

Then hitch the cart to the oxen and let the oxen pull the cart for you!
After a while, a carriage passed by Shen Shuangshuang quickly, more than twice as fast as an ox cart.

Shen Shuangshuang: Well, she wants the carriage even more now!
Two-quarters of an hour later, under Shen Shuangshuang's fast pace, he finally arrived at the west gate of Shangyang Town.

At this time, people waiting to enter the city had already formed a long queue outside the city.

Shen Shuangshuang stood at the end of the team with a backpack on his back.

After a while, the city gate finally opened.

At this time, the team standing behind her could no longer see its end.

Shen Shuangshuang was glad that she came early.

The team in front moved very fast, and Shen Shuangshuang quickly arrived in front of the city gate.

After being inspected by the police and paying a penny for entering the city, we entered the city.

After entering the city, most people go towards the market in the west of the city.

However, Shen Shuangshuang chose to go straight and follow the route Shen said to find Huichuntang.

Because today is the market day in the West Market, Huichun Hall is already open.

Shen Shuangshuang hurried in.

"Young lady, do you want to take medicine?" The man who took medicine asked Shen Shuangshuang when he saw a visitor coming to the door.

"Yeah. I need to get some medicine, but I have to sell it first."

"I have precious medicinal materials that I want to sell to your pharmacy. I need to talk to the shopkeeper. Could you help me ask?" Shen Shuangshuang asked.

The waiter glanced at the basket on Shen Shuangshuang's back and guessed that Shen Shuangshuang was a herb farmer, so he agreed.

"Okay, little lady, wait a moment." After saying that, he walked inside.

After a while, a well-dressed middle-aged man was invited out by the waiter.

"Madam, this is our shopkeeper." The waiter introduced.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Wang." Shen Shuangshuang cupped her hands at the man.

Shopkeeper Wang was taken aback.

"Young lady, do you know me?" she asked.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled and said: "The elders in the family make a living by collecting medicines, and they used to sell medicinal materials in Chun Chun Tang."

"I was accidentally injured while collecting herbs recently, so I asked me to come on this trip. I said that Shopkeeper Wang will definitely give me a fair price."

Shopkeeper Wang looked kinder when he heard that he was a herbalist who had come to the shop to sell medicinal materials.

"Our prices at Huichun Hall are always fair. If you have any good medicinal materials, please take them out and have a look." He said.

Shen Shuangshuang glanced at the door of the store and found that no one came to the door, so he took out a coarse cloth bag from his arms.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter, he untied the coarse cloth bag.

As the coarse cloth bag was untied, a ginseng as thick as a thumb was exposed.

The shopkeeper, who had been calm just now,'s eyes lit up.
