MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 8 Let’s get four hundred taels of flowers first

 Shen Ningning did not listen to him attentively.

 Because, she was thinking whether to give the remaining red fruits to the grandfather!

Hong fruit grows in fairyland and is watered by spiritual springs.

 Can strengthen the body.

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

“Grandpa, I’ll leave this for you, eat it if you feel uncomfortable! I have to leave, I can’t stay with you.”

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

Shen Ningning walked away with her little feet.

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

Shen Ningning walked for nearly an hour, and gradually she could see pedestrians.

 She was overjoyed and quickly quickened her pace.

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

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

When Shen Ningning looked around, she found that there were many people in ragged clothes and sallow faces not far from the city gate.

 Some of them were lying down and some were sitting.

 Some were motionless, with flies flying around their bodies, and the stench was overwhelming!

They all have thin cheeks and sunken cheeks, and their eyes are dull.

 Shen Ningning was stunned.

This should be the refugee that grandma mentioned, right?

 Suddenly!

 A luxurious carriage drove from outside.

 “Dingle bell—” The bells on the four corners of the car eaves jingled.

The group of refugees who looked like "dead people" started to move like crazy.

The nobleman riding in the carriage threw a few date cakes out of the carriage window. They fell to the ground and were stained with dirt. The refugees ignored them and swarmed over them.

 As soon as they catch something to eat, they stuff it into their mouths immediately, and some people even fight over it just to get a bite of it.

A group of officers and soldiers came out angrily to stop them and beat them with sticks. In order to resist, the refugees made a lot of noise.

 The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

Shen Ningning was frightened, hugged her small cloth bag tightly, and ran towards the city in the chaos.

 Compared to the chaos outside the city.

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

There was a hawker pushing a water cart, accompanied by six guards, shouting: "A bucket of clean water, ten taels!"

The beggars stared eagerly, but they did not dare to step forward to grab it.

 Twelve taels!

Shen Ningning counted with her little fingers.

She remembered that Aunt Qin said that a tank of rice at her house would cost twenty taels if bought outside.

 Twelve buckets of water can only be used for three days.

 She looked at the cloth shop where the shoes were made.

 A pair of better shoes costs three taels, and those beautiful shiny silks are priced at fifty taels.

Shen Ningning retreated in embarrassment.

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

 Finally, I found a shop with the word "medicine" floating on it.

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

 The guys treat them with respect.

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

He waved his hand to drive her 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 on the side: "I'm not here to beg for food, I... I sell medicinal materials!"

The guy paused and looked at her again, his eyes full of ridicule: "You? What kind of medicinal materials are you selling? Make sure you agree in advance that we will not accept anything from unknown sources."

“Besides, if the quality is not good, we at Huichuntang will not accept it!”

Shen Ningning opened the rag bag and carefully took out the purple Ganoderma lucidum.

 “Do you accept this?”

The guy's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

His eyes widened and he looked at the dew-stained purple lingzhi in the little guy's hand. It is about the size of a palm and is in excellent condition. In this drought year, one may not grow even in fifty years!

“You, you, wait.” The waiter began to stutter: “I’ll ask the shopkeeper!”

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

 Soon there was a startled cry from someone inside.

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

The little guy was looking around the drug store with curious eyes, holding the rag bag tightly in his arms.

“Little baby, does this purple Ganoderma belong to you?” 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 him with her little 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 definitely want it, as long as the price is right, but I have to ask you first, where did you get this purple Ganoderma?”

 A good medicinal material with a similar appearance cannot be wild.

 “I grew it myself.” Shen Ningning said.

 The shopkeeper was shocked.

Most of these drug dealers have their own medicine gardens.

 But in this drought year, the capital has only received two rains this year, which is not enough for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum.

Where did this girl get one?

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.

Shen Ningning was a little uneasy: "Grandpa shopkeeper, if you don't want it, I'll ask someone else. Sorry to bother you."

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

“Wait a minute!” The shopkeeper held her little hand and said with a smile, “Yes, why don’t you want it?”

“I’ll give you eighty-two pieces of purple Ganoderma lucidum. What do you think?”

 Actually, according to the market price, purple Ganoderma lucidum is sold by the pound!

 One hundred taels per pound is not an exaggeration!

But he just wanted to test whether this little guy knew how to do it!

 Shen Ningning thought for a while.

 Eighty taels, you can buy a lot of things!

She nodded readily: "Sell! Five sticks, a total of four hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper couldn’t sit still anymore and suddenly stood up: “Five?!”

Shen Ningning opened the rag bag, and there were four purple Ganoderma lucidum of the same quality inside!

The shopkeeper could barely stand.

 This little girl is a wealthy merchant of medicinal materials!

 At such a young age, I just took out five purple Ganoderma lucidum sticks!

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

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

 Can you order medicine just like ordering food, with everything you need? !

The shopkeeper said: "If you have ginseng and fleece-flower root, I can collect them too."

Shen Ningning nodded slightly and wrote it down.

After a while, the clerk came in with a banknote of four hundred taels.

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

  She hesitated: "Can I spend this? I have to go shopping."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, I can exchange it for you with a bag of silver. It's just very heavy, so you have to take it."

Shen Ningning said humbly: "Money is more convenient!"

 After half a stick of incense.

She took the money and left the drug store.

Shen Ningning did not forget that she was looking for the doctor, but before that, she had to buy something and take it back with her!

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

With the heavy amount of money on her back, she walked forward with confidence!

 Entering the cloth shop, she was driven away before the shopkeeper could urge her.

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

She stretched out her little hand and pointed at a set of men's robes hanging on the wall. The price was clearly marked, eighty taels.
