I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 168: Be careful of getting caught in trouble

 Generally speaking, the processed yam is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, and returns to the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. It has the functions of tonifying the spleen and stomach, promoting body fluids and lungs, and tonifying the kidneys and astringing essence.

Of all the medicinal materials, this one consumes the most. As long as he is not sitting in court, all his time is used to prepare the medicinal materials. If Sister Bai can send yam tablets, it will save him a lot of trouble.

Baiyunxi listened and thought about it in his mind. Yams contain a lot of water, so they consume a lot of money when processed.

One kilogram of fresh yam can be used to prepare two to three taels of medicinal materials. One kilogram of yam tablets requires five kilograms of fresh yam. In addition, it takes time to dig and dry them manually. The price ranges from 500 to 100 yuan, which is still acceptable.

Yams are wild. In addition to taking a lot of work, the raw materials are free of charge, and it also wastes some firewood.

“Sure, when the busy farming season is over, I’ll make some and send them to you for a look.”

It’s always good to have an extra income. Anyway, her family only had one acre of sweet potatoes that were confiscated, and the rest was nothing, so she had to live off the mountain.

 “Then it’s settled.”

Bai Yunxi said goodbye to Doctor Cheng and asked Li to carry the eggs. The two walked back to the street and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. Bai Yunxi was thinking about what gift to give Huzi in return.

 “Mom, what are you looking at?”

Li was carrying the basket, didn't she say she was going to buy cotton? Those things are at the west end of the town.

“I was thinking, we received someone’s basket of eggs, what kind of gift would be appropriate in return?” We are not from a wealthy family, so it would be inappropriate to take too much.

Ms. Li looked at the basket in her hand, curious, "Mom, what's going on? Tell me?"

 She was really surprised to receive a basket of gifts as soon as she arrived in town.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that when I came to sell Qiuli ointment yesterday, I happened to meet a child with a stuck trachea…”

As Baiyunxi walked, he recounted what happened yesterday to Mr. Li.

“For my mother, it’s a simple effort. Since I have accepted the gift, it is also polite to give a proper gift in return.”

After Li was shocked, she blinked her eyes and said, "Mom, you are so awesome. Why don't you buy some millet for the child as a gift in return? Use that to make porridge, which is good for digestion and nourishment. It is good for children."

 In Mr. Li's heart, the best things cannot be separated from food.

Bai Yunxi listened to Li's suggestion and looked at her with a smile. Yes, why did she forget that there was millet in the locker?

 “Ms. Li, pick the eggs into the basket and free up the basket.”

 “Hey~”

Waiting for Mrs. Li to pick the eggs into the basket, Bai Yunxi told her directly, "You wait here, I will go visit myself and I will be back soon. It is not appropriate for you to carry the basket on your back."

“Okay, mother, go and come back quickly.”

Ms. Li nodded, her mother was right. If someone accepted all the eggs and millet, wouldn’t they have suffered a loss?

Bai Yunxi looked at her and curled the corners of his lips. He was such an obedient and good child.

She carried the basket and walked for a while, then turned into Yangshu Alley. When there was no one around, she put five kilograms of millet in a small cloth bag and put it in the basket, and continued walking in with the basket on her arm.

 It wasn’t until he met the old lady sitting at the door that he asked her about the location of Huzi’s house.

The old lady looked up and down Baiyun River and pointed to the front.

"The second house you go forward is, let me tell you, the sister-in-law is the one who splashed the water. She has been making trouble for the past two days. It has been very noisy every day. Be careful, or she will make a fool of you."

"Thank you, old lady, I'll go take a look." Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, the old man was well-informed.
