In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. While Jiang Chuan was busy arranging for his eldest daughter and son-in-law’s settlement, Jiang Xia was not idle. She was still thinking about Su Zhen’s suggestion and the scar removal ointment formula in the hands of the old scholar from the traditional Chinese medicine shop. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After such a long time, Jiang Xia had collected a lot of spore powder from Lingzhi mushroom. Now, she was waiting to visit the old scholar at the medicine shop to upgrade the scar ointment he gave her and hopefully get the full formula for it.

Jiang Xia waited for Jiang Chuan to return home from work and discussed with him before dinner. “Dad, I’m thinking of going to the city tomorrow to visit the old scholar.”

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and immediately agreed, “It is indeed time to go to the city. Currently, Captain Tian has issues with me and is unwilling to sign the settlement documentation. 1 also need to visit Auntie Tian.”

The Father and daughter agreed instantly, and early the next morning, they secretly set off for the city.

Jiang Xia, in modern times, was already an adult with the capability to handle her own affairs. Even though she now had a thirteen-year-old body, it didn’t matter. She also possessed a unique interspace realm ability, so she didn’t have to worry about anything.

If she ever encountered danger, Jiang Xia could simply retreat into her own interspace realm. Thus, after entering the city, the father and daughter went their separate ways. Jiang Chuan went to the Sugar Factory’s residential quarters to find Auntie Tian, asking if she would like to stay in the village for a couple of days, while Jiang Xia went to find the old scholar.

However, on her way to see the old scholar, Jiang Xia suddenly spotted a familiar face.

At first, Jiang Xia didn’t recognize him. She just felt that she had seen him somewhere before and gave him a few more glances.

To her surprise, the man also noticed her and walked straight towards her.

Jiang Xia was startled and was about to run away when the man called out, “Little girl from the Jiang family, I won’t eat you. I’m Wang Gang, the one who exchanged vegetables with you for sunflower seeds on the bus!”

Upon a closer look, Jiang Xia realized that it was indeed Wang Gang. However, the sunflower seed exchange had happened several months ago, so she had no memory of it and only found him familiar.

With a polite tone, Jiang Xia said, “Uncle Wang, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Wang Gang grinned and pointed to the building behind him, “I work here. I came a bit early for my shift today and happened to run into you. Why are you alone? Where’s your dad?”

Wang Gang actually wanted to ask if her father was coming to the city to sell vegetables again because he wanted to buy some.

Quick-witted, Jiang Xia guessed that Wang Gang must still be interested in wild vegetables. Given the rarity of such fresh produce at this time, and especially considering the quality and quantity of what Jiang Xia had, Wang Gang would undoubtedly want to purchase more.

Not wanting to lose this potential customer, Jiang Xia noticed that the building behind him was the Urban Management Brigade’s office, which was known for their power and relatively easy work schedules, implying they had money to spend.

“Being well-fed leads to idle desires.” Without any pressing matters at work, one’s mind would naturally start pondering how to make their daily meals more enjoyable. Hence, Wang Gang would surely be interested in buying a significant amount of wild vegetables from Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Xia said, “Uncle Wang, I came into the city with my dad this time. We recently harvested some wild vegetables from the mountains and initially planned to sell them in the city. However, we ran into Auntie Tian from our previous bus trip, who lives in the Sugar Factory Residential quarters. So, my dad thought of simply selling all the wild vegetables there.”

Hearing this, Wang Gang seemed somewhat disappointed, “Do you plan to sell everything without keeping any?”

Jiang Xia nodded, “Yes, we need to sell the wild vegetables from our village quickly and then return to our farming.”

Although Wang Gang felt disappointed, he had no other choice. “Jiang Xia, let it be this time. If you have more wild vegetables in the future, bring them directly here to sell. I promise to buy them from you at a higher price than others.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xia thought to herself, “Ah, he seems to be someone willing to spend generously, especially on food.” With this in mind, she stealthily took out three bottles of meat sauce from her interspace realm and placed them behind her basket. Then, pretending to be hesitant, she offered them to Wang Gang.

“Uncle Wang, although I don’t have wild vegetables, 1 do have a few bottles of meat sauce made by my mother.. Would you be interested?”
