Although she knew that He Wen would still take He Xuan to work in the afternoon, at least Fu Yuling put her attitude there.
After finishing their meal and tidying up, Fu Yuling began to look at the entire house.
There was a large courtyard in the house, with a kitchen and four rooms.
One of the rooms belonged to Fu Yuling, while the other two were occupied by the four children. There was also a utility room.
The last remaining room belonged to the original owner’s husband, He Jingsi.
However, in terms of time, He Jingsi had left after their marriage and only returned for a visit in the fourth year, which was two years ago when the original host had given birth to He An and He Qiu. According to the plot, he never returned since then.
Of course, with the exception for when he came back to handle funeral matters during the floods.
He Jingsi was the only one in the He family who went to college. The other two siblings lived in Zhuangjia village and worked hard for themselves.
Fu Yuling rarely saw He Jingsi’s sister and brother, but this time she wanted to go to the town first to have a look and then bring He Qiu back from there.
In this era, everything required a ticket. Even if you have money, you couldn’t spend it without a ticket.
Naturally, underground transactions arose, and those responsible for the transactions were called “middlemen.”
Thinking about the many valuable herbs in her space, Fu Yuling felt that she should be able to exchange them for a large sum of money.
After instructing He Wen to take care of He Xuan and He An, she left. Fortunately, the Zhuangjia Village was not far from the town. It would take at least half an hour to walk there.
Looking at the retro-looking crowd and streets, she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
She never expected that one day she would witness such a scene with her own eyes. She composed herself and quietly observed.
She carried a bamboo basket in her hand. There was nothing inside, only a piece of cloth covering it. She made it this way so that no one could see what was inside. It also allowed her to easily retrieve items from her space.
Fu Yuling walked around the town. There were indeed many street vendors around, but the words “collecting tickets” discouraged many people.
After circling around and observing the town, Fu Yuling finally returned to the medicinal clinic she had just spotted earlier. Seeing that there were only a few people inside, she stepped in.
“What does the guest need?”
The person who was using an abacus in front looked up and asked.
He thought the person on the other side would take out a list, but instead he heard the words “Lingzhi mushroom1Lingzhi, Ganoderma sichuanense, also known as reishi or Ganoderma lingzhi is a polypore fungus (“bracket fungus”) native to East Asia belonging to the genus Ganoderma. From Wikipedia..”
He was dumbfounded. “Are you joking, guest?”
“Do you accept it?”
Fu Yuling asked calmly. Her appearance didn’t seem to be joking. Seeing this, he quickly went inside.
“Please wait a moment, customer. I’ll be right back.”
Fu Yuling waited for a while. Among all the places in the town, this medicinal clinic called Sheng Tang medicinal clinic, appeared to be the most reputable. The arrangement of the herbs inside didn’t seem like a scam.
Not long after, the man returned with a middle-aged man.
As soon as he walked in, the fragrance of medicinal herbs emanated from him.
“Panax Ginseng2Panax notoginseng is a species of the genus Panax, and it is commonly referred to in English as Chinese ginseng or notoginseng. In Chinese it is called tiánqī (田七), tienchi ginseng, sānqī (三七) or sanchi, three-seven root, and mountain plant. P. notoginseng belongs to the same scientific genus as Panax ginseng. From Wikipedia., White Soursop3It is an annual herbaceous plant mainly produced in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hunan, Jiangxi and other central and southern regions of China, and many more., White Stone Flower, and the last one should be Lotus Seed Heart.”
The middle-aged man who hurried over paused for a moment and then chuckled. “The guest is right. But does the guest really have it?”
The last sentence was spoken softly, and Fu Yuling lowered her voice as well.
“Naturally, I do. I happened to come across it in the mountains. But my family is in a tight situation, so I can only use it to exchange for money.”
Hearing Fu Yuling’s explanation, the middle-aged man felt relieved. As long as it wasn’t of unknown origin.
“Please come inside first.”
His eyes slipped over the basket Fu Yuling was carrying, and his eyes lit up.
Some time ago, someone inquired if he had Lingzhi Mushrooms. It was a life-saving item, and they were willing to pay any price for it.
But this item was rare and expensive. It wasn’t easy to come by, and certainly not so easily available for purchase.
“Can I see it first?”
Once inside the room, the boss couldn’t contain his excitement.
“Then let’s take a look at the goods first.”
Fu Yuling reached out to uncover the cloth, revealing a dark brown Lingzhi Mushroom lying quietly inside. It was quite large.
But this also caused the boss to be in dillema. The large size means a higher price for the item.
He hesitated, “I wonder how much the guest is willing to sell it for?”
