Chapter 6: The first pot of gold in life

Chapter 6: The first pot of gold in life

A good night's sleep.

Qin Zhi was awakened by Shen, "Xiao Zhi, it's time to get up. It will take us more than half an hour to walk to the town."

Qin Zhi got up in a daze, washed and dressed. At this time, Qin Zhen had already served the porridge to the table. After the mother and daughter finished eating, they set off.

It was still dark outside, and the sound of roosters crowing could be vaguely heard from the village in the distance. There was a small path next to the thatched cottage where Qin Zhi lived that led directly to the official road, and it did not pass through Shitou Village, which could save a lot of trouble for the mother and daughter.

Although it took more than half an hour to walk to the town, the mother and her two daughters were all used to farm work and did not find it difficult at all.

When they entered the city, it was already daybreak. Qin Zhi asked a passerby for directions and soon found the largest clinic in town, Jihetang. The waiter in the clinic came out immediately with a smile on his face, and did not neglect the mother and daughter because they were dressed simply and with patches on their clothes.

"Excuse me, ma'am, are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?"

Shen had been married to the Qin family for so many years and had seldom come to town. When asked by the waiter, she looked at Qin Zhi nervously.

Qin Zhi walked to the front and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, do you sell medicinal herbs here?" As he said this, he grabbed a handful of Panax notoginseng from the basket and showed it to the waiter.

When the waiter saw the Panax notoginseng, he thought it was of good quality. He immediately took Qin Zhi and her daughter to the backyard and called the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's surname is Wang. It so happened that the boss behind him had come secretly in recent days, and a group of his men had been ambushed along the way and suffered heavy injuries. They were in urgent need of a large amount of medicinal materials for treatment, and were extremely anxious.

Currently, many medicinal materials in the clinic are purchased from drug dealers in other prefectures. Although there are many mountains in Qingzhou Prefecture, since someone saw a white tiger biting a hunter to death in Daliang Mountain two years ago, no one dared to enter the mountains, let alone collect herbs.

As the saying goes, when you feel sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. When Shopkeeper Wang heard that someone was selling medicine, he immediately put down what he was doing and followed the waiter over.

Shopkeeper Wang immediately took a liking to the Panax notoginseng in the backpack. It was of high-quality, a holy product for stopping bleeding, and also the medicinal material that the boss urgently needed.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wang looked at Shen with a more pious look, "Little lady, how many of these medicines do you have?"

Shen didn't know that all the medicine was dug by Qin Zhi and had been kept in her space. It was only when she arrived in the town that she found an empty alley and took some out of the space and put it in a backpack.

"My youngest daughter is the one who makes the decisions in our family," Shen pointed at Qin Zhi who was standing beside her.

Qin Zhi pursed his lips and said, "I still have about 200 kilograms at home. I wonder what price the shopkeeper would like to buy it for?"

"This Panax notoginseng is of top quality. I will buy it at the market price of thirty-five cents per pound." Shopkeeper Wang did not think of lowering the price. Although this girl is young, she is definitely not a simple person.

"Deal," Qin Zhi looked at the shopkeeper again because he saw that he didn't cheat the customers.

Shopkeeper Wang called the waiter to weigh the three-sevens, and there were a total of fifty kilograms, which cost one thousand seven hundred and fifty coins.

Qin Zhi took the string of copper coins handed over by Manager Wang and put them into her sleeve without counting. In fact, she had thrown them into the space. This was her first pot of gold in her life of traveling through time, and no one could steal it.

Qin Zhi agreed with Shopkeeper Wang to deliver the remaining Panax notoginseng in two days and then said goodbye and left.

Shen was still immersed in deep thought. He got more than a thousand coins so quickly. You should know that a normal strong laborer only earned fifteen coins a day working in the town.

"Mom, let's go to the grocery store over there to buy some pots, pans, and utensils." Qin Zhi pulled Shen and Qin Zhen towards the grocery store.

In fact, not only Shen was shocked, even Qin Zhen, who was always steady and calm, was very excited.

Qin Zhi selected a few plates and bowls, and bought a large pot, plus a menu. There were no seasonings, but there were plenty in the kitchen of this thingy space. In the previous life, there was an epidemic, so he went there in advance to stock up a lot, so now he only needed to buy a few small pottery jars and change the outer packaging.

Next, the three of them went to the grain store and bought twenty kilograms of black flour and ten kilograms of the cheapest brown rice.

Later, he bought two pork bones from a pork stall on the street on his way back. The meat had basically been removed by the butcher. Normally, no one would want to give these bones away, so the butcher symbolically charged Qin Zhi two cents and gave the pig bones to him.

As usual, he found an empty alley to throw the things he bought into the space, so as to avoid encountering villagers on the road and spreading the news to Lao Qin's house, causing unnecessary trouble.

On the way back, they were lucky enough not to run into people from the same village. While it was still early, the three of them walked directly from the official road to the foot of the mountain without passing through the village. Qin Zhi had already discussed with Shen that she would go to the mountain to collect more herbs, and Shen was no longer worried about her going up the mountain alone, because Qin Zhi had explained on the way that he had a space in his hand, and if he encountered danger, he could hide in the space directly.

Qin Zhi didn't rush to collect herbs after entering the mountain, but observed the situation on both sides while walking. It might be a habit he developed as a special forces soldier in his previous life.

Hehe, this habit is pretty good. Look, I noticed a bunch of crystal clear white flowers growing on a dead branch. Isn't this pure wild Tremella? They are plump and cute. The largest one is as big as a soup bowl.

Qin Zhi carefully picked the big Tremella fuciformis from the tree one by one, a total of 25. He left the small ones for the time being, marked them, and came back to pick them again after a few days when they were ripe.

With these white fungus, Qin Zhi flashed into the space, cleaned them first, and then put them in the oven for low-temperature baking. It would take at least three hours to bake. Qin Zhi was too lazy to sit by and watch. He got up and made himself a bowl of deluxe instant noodles. After enjoying it, he left the space and continued his journey of collecting herbs.

As expected, Qin Zhi found another piece of Panax notoginseng. After picking them, he found several other herbs for treating external injuries. Qin Zhi was not afraid of them and put them all into the space.

Qin Zhi was ready to go home after a fruitful day. Unexpectedly, his luck was unstoppable.

In a patch of dense weeds, a bunch of small red fruits caught Qin Zhi's attention. Aren't these the red fruits on the ginseng plant? Wow, this is simply a cheat in life. Ginseng was given to him at the beginning, and he became rich.

Qin Zhi couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart. Wait, doesn't this novel say that ginseng is a mountain elf and must be tied up with a red string, otherwise it will run away.

Qin Zhi quickly found a red rope from the space and tied it up, then found a small shovel from the space, lay on the ground and started digging carefully.

This job is really not for humans. He almost broke his waist before digging out the whole ginseng. Yes, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng. He is rich, rich, Qin Zhi was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.

When Qin Zhi returned home, Shen had already cooked a big pot of bone soup with a rich aroma that made people's mouths water.

Qin Zhen served everyone a big bowl of bone soup and brought out the baked whole grain cakes. The mother and daughters ate without saying a word. This was the happiest day since leaving Old Qin's house. So damn happy.

After finishing her meal, Qin Zhi entered the space to continue preparing Panax notoginseng. She had never been lucky enough to pick ginseng in her previous life, so she didn't know the specific preparation method. Qin Zhi went to the study and found a medical book, but it only briefly mentioned the preparation of ginseng.

The laptop on the desk caught her attention. Qin Zhi turned on the computer and found that it had internet access. She tried to open the browser and search for the method of preparing ginseng, and she actually found it.

Qin Zhi tried to open Taobao again and ordered a Hanfu dress. Unexpectedly, a package appeared before the New Year, and it contained the Hanfu dress. Then he tried to order a folding bed, but it prompted that the balance was insufficient. There was also a string of small words below - your space butler Xiaobao reminds you, just do good things, don't worry about the future. The space will redeem your balance based on the gratitude points you have earned in this dynasty. Your current balance is 0. I wish you all the best in this dynasty.

Qin Zhi frowned, but soon relaxed.

Never mind, let’s prepare ginseng first, making money is the important thing.
