"Okay, that's it for now, the rest can only be done after the needle is made."
After everything that needed to be explained was done, Song Chen clapped his hands and prepared to leave.
Cang Xiuxuan also stood up, "Did you go to Jiuling Mountain again yesterday?"
Song Chen was not stupid enough to ask him how he knew. After all, she had sent medicinal materials today. "Most of the people in the village have a hard life. Seeing that I made some money by going up the mountain, they asked me to take them into the mountain."
"Then did your tiger friend cooperate with you?" Cang Xiuxuan said with a hint of ridicule.
Song Chen did not answer his question immediately. He was silent for a few breaths before speaking, "Cang Xiuxuan, do you know? There are really many things in this world that cannot be explained."
How could he not know what Song Chen meant when he said this? She was explaining herself to him in disguise.
Cang Xiuxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's true, but everything has been arranged."
Song Chen didn't know what he meant. She just had to say what she wanted to say.
It's not that Cang Xiuxuan has an important position in Song Chen's mind, she just doesn't want to cause more trouble. It's best not to be an enemy of people like Cang Xiuxuan.
This is why Song Chen agreed to help him detoxify.
After the matter was done, Song Chen left the back hall. The clerk at Huichun Hall had weighed Sanqi and settled the account with Song Dashan.
Song Chen took the Poria cocos and Gastrodia elata that she and Song He had dug up in the mountain that day from her own basket on the oxcart and handed them to Shopkeeper Cui.
Shopkeeper Cui looked at the two items on hand. The Poria cocos here was not very old and not very big.
However, these Dingfengcao are a bit interesting, and the quality is much better than the last time. It is simply the top grade among the best. Use this kind of Dingfengcao as medicine, and the efficacy of the medicine will be more than 90%.
"Miss Song, your Dingfengcao is simply the best." Shopkeeper Cui sincerely praised it.
Song Chen smiled politely, "They are all things from the mountain. If you are lucky, the mountain god will reward you with some good things."
Shopkeeper Cui nodded in agreement. It's hard to say what's on the mountain. Without luck and fate, you really can't find anything.
As everyone knows, these gastrodia elata were taken out by Song Chen from the space and grew and prospered in the space. Song Chen saw that they were getting more and more incredible, so he could only pull them out early to prevent them from taking root and growing.
I didn’t expect that it had been dug out for so long, but because it had been kept in the space, it still looked like it had just been dug out of the soil.
"There are thirty taels of Dingfengcao and Poria cocos in total, what do you think?" Shopkeeper Cui thought for a while and gave a price.
"Shopkeeper Cui will give it to you, I believe you." After doing business for so many times, Song Chen knew that shopkeeper Cui would not tamper with the price.
The first time she brought Dingfengcao and sold it for twenty taels of silver, but the amount that time was more than double that of this time. As for the Poria... she estimated how much it was worth.
Two silver coins.
Thirty taels, she won't suffer.
In other words, she has a hugely profitable business, but she just fished the Dingfengcao out of space.
Shopkeeper Cui smiled and paid thirty taels of silver from the account to Song Chen, then sent her to the door with a smile, "Miss Song, you come here often."
Song Chen turned her back to Shopkeeper Cui and twitched her eyes. Why did she feel that Shopkeeper Cui looked so much like the old bustard in the brothel now?
"Xiaochen, if nothing happens, we will go back right away."
Seeing that Song Chen had already sat down on the bullock cart, Song Dashan asked while holding the bullock rope.
Song Chen shook his head, "It's okay. Go back early. People in the village are probably waiting impatiently."
In the Huichun Hall, shopkeeper Cui sent Song Chen away and hurriedly returned to the back hall to see Cang Xiuxuan.
"I've met the eldest master."
Cang Xiuxuan nodded casually, "What did she sell today?"
"Back to the eldest master, I have more than a hundred pounds of Panax notoginseng and a little bit of Fengfengcao and Poria cocos." Shopkeeper Cui reported all the things Song Chen sold today.
"More than one hundred pounds of Sanqi?" Cang Xiuxuan was also a little surprised. He had just ordered to stock up on some medicine for treating trauma, but she didn't expect that she would send it to him.
Combined with the previous times, he even had an illusion, as if...
He and she have a certain bond.
"I heard from Miss Song's father that these Panax notoginsengs were dug up by the people in their village, and they were sold back to the villagers to share the money. Miss Song's father also asked me to write a receipt."
I see!
Only then did Cang Xiuxuan understand why she wanted the white tiger to find an opportunity to roar a few times that day. It must be that the people in the village saw her collecting herbs in exchange for some money, and wanted to imitate her.
Firstly, she was worried that too many people would go up the mountain, which would lead to a rapid depletion of the medicinal materials on the mountain. Secondly, she was also worried that the villagers might sneak up the mountain and encounter the big white tiger, which might lead to a loss of both people and money.
She is really a greedy and kind girl.
An hour later, Song Dashan drove the ox cart back to Beiguan Village.
Seeing them coming back from a distance, the people guarding the entrance of the village ran away. Soon all the ten families who had followed Song Chen up the mountain took action and walked towards Song Chen's house.
Seeing the fight, other people in the village guessed what was going on. Thinking that they had nothing to do anyway, they followed along to see how much money they could get.
Song Chen and the others first went to return the ox cart to Li Zheng, and by the way, they also found Li Zheng.
Looking at the dark crowd outside his home, Song Chen felt a little dumbfounded. It was as if their home had become the center of the village, with so many people gathering together at every turn.
"All the Panax notoginseng has been sold. After processing, there are still one hundred and seventeen kilograms of Panax notoginseng left, one hundred cents per catty, a total of eleven seven cents of silver. In addition, everyone collected it sporadically in the mountains.
The shopkeeper of Huichun Hall gave a total of thirteen taels of silver to those medicinal materials that arrived."
Song Chen first told everyone about the situation of selling medicinal materials, and then took out the thirteen taels of silver she kept alone and handed them to Li Zheng, "I will give these thirteen taels to Li Zheng and ask him to help divide them."
"Here is also a receipt written by the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall." Song Dashan also took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to Lin Maofeng.
Song Chen didn't expect her father to have such a skill, and silently praised him in her heart.
Lin Maofeng did not refuse and took the money and receipt. He first read the contents of the receipt to everyone, and then handed it to the ten households for circulation. Although they could not understand what it meant, this
The things are here, no matter how hard you pick, you can't find anything wrong with them.
Everyone has already begun to calculate the accounts in their hearts.
"According to the division method agreed before, the Dashan family of Song Dynasty will get 20% and get 20 cents and 60 cents, and each of the ten families will get 1 to 80 cents."
"This trip up the mountain is really worth it. For just one or two silver dollars, we have to work hard for more than half a year!"
"Isn't that right? You can earn more than one tael of silver a day. If you go up the mountain every day, won't you soon get rich?"
"I'll go with you next time."
"I am coming too······"
When the other villagers heard this number, they were all envious. If they had known it, they would have gone up the mountain together yesterday, and now they have their own share of the money.
At the very back of the crowd, where others wouldn't notice much, a pair of eyes rolled, and he quietly withdrew from the crowd before forgetting to run back.
The ten families who received the money tightly squeezed the money in their hands and sighed at how hard-earned the ten taels of silver were.
"If it weren't for Sister Chen, how could we have earned all this money? Jiuling Mountain is really not a place you can go to casually. In the past, I thought Sister Chen and the others were making money, and I was jealous. I didn't know until I went there that it was true.
I paid for it with my life."
"Who says it's not the case? I had a nightmare all night last night, and the roar of the big tiger still seems to be in my ears."
The ten people were talking to each other, and the villagers were all shocked after hearing their words.
"You, you are saying that you really encountered a tiger when you went up the mountain yesterday?" Someone was the first to react, a little unable to accept the fact they heard.
Just when he saw Yinzi, he immediately told him that there was a tiger on the mountain.
That is a real man-eating beast! Who dares to fight it?
When the family members of those ten families heard these words, their hearts suddenly clenched, "Why didn't I hear what you said when I came back?"
"It's better not to go to that mountain in the future. If we are poor, we should be poorer. We are better off living well without having anything."
"Yes, I won't go, I won't go."
"I can't make this money, and I won't do it anymore."
Song Dashan obviously didn't know about this either. He was looking at his children with a guilty look on his face, "Xiaochen, Xiaohe, it's all useless for me as a father."
"Dad, what are you talking about? It's not you who forced me to go up the mountain. I'm going up on my own. Don't worry. It'll be fine."
Song Chen couldn't say that the tiger wouldn't hurt her, so he could only comfort her softly.
Although Song He was still frightened, he couldn't listen to Song Dashan's words, "I am a man now. I have the responsibility to protect my sister and contribute to this family."
Song Dashan and Song Wang were moved by their words, and Lin Maofeng was also moved.
"You can still collect these herbs in times of crisis, but you should thank Song Chen. If you have any help in the future, we don't want to look down on you in our village."
Lin Maofeng's words were quite obvious, but no one thought he was wrong.
"Don't be discouraged. Going to the mountains to collect herbs to make money is not a long-term solution. Let's think of other ways."
Song Chen had thought about this problem a long time ago. If the big white tiger hadn't been on the mountain, she wouldn't have wanted to run up the mountain. Her legs would have been almost broken when she went up and down the mountain every day.
It's just that she hasn't thought about what she wants to do specifically. She has to go and take a look to know what is suitable here.
Everyone felt a little better when they heard her say this.
Unknowingly, not only Song Chen's impression in the hearts of the villagers in Beiguan Village had changed, but even his status seemed to be changing. Now, no one would doubt Song Chen's words.
