The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Chapter 204 Discovering Sweet Potato Vinegars

Since leaving Bei Ming, Shen Ruolan picked up the charcoal pencil and paper she had prepared and drew along the way. When she arrived at the city of Xia, she made a mark on the drawing, put down the pen, and looked at the city of Xia carefully.

Shen Ruolan looked at the busy streets outside the carriage and couldn't help but sigh: "This Xia Kingdom is really a Feng Shui treasure land. Not only is there abundant water, but the terrain is also very flat, which is very suitable for growing crops. The people here are much richer than those in Beiming."

You can tell whether people are living a good life by looking at their faces.

After listening to Shen Ruolan's words, Liu Gu looked outside and said to Shen Ruolan, "Yes, I heard that Xia Kingdom is not only flat, but also their king is very close to the people. He always thinks about the people and makes their lives better and better. The population is growing very fast."

Shen Ruolan nodded and said to Aunt Liu: "The people of Xia Country are indeed very united."

Shen Ruolan had already seen through it since Xia Hongmiao faked his death last year to stir up trouble.

Mu Jin, who was driving the carriage outside, looked at the dazzling things on the street and asked Shen Ruolan, "Madam, do you need to buy anything?"

After Shen Ruolan heard what Mu Jin said, she looked at the things on both sides of the street and saw that they were all selling vegetables and small things. She shook her head and said, "No..."

Before Shen Ruolan could finish her sentence, she saw a woman carrying something familiar passing by her carriage. She quickly said to Mu Jin, "Mu Jin, stop the car."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Mu Jin reined in her horse and asked Shen Ruolan, "Madam, what do you want to buy?"

Shen Ruolan glanced at the woman just now, she quickly jumped off the carriage and said to Mu Jin: "Mu Jin, take care of the children, I will go after that woman to buy some things."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she quickly ran in the direction of the woman and shouted, "Hey, sister-in-law in front, wait for me."

Shen Ziqian, who was behind, saw Shen Ruolan suddenly stop, so he quickly got off the carriage and asked, "Sister Lan, what happened?"

At this moment, Shen Ruolan was only thinking about catching up with that woman and had no time to respond to Shen Ziqian.

However, because there were so many people, she was bumped by a passerby and lost track of the woman, leaving her standing there with a look of regret on her face.

Shen Ziqian came to her and asked, "Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ruolan looked at Shen Ziqian and said, "Nothing, I just saw something familiar and wanted to buy it."

After Shen Ziqian heard what Shen Ruolan said, he looked around and asked Shen Ruolan, "Sister Lan, what do you want to buy?"

Shen Ruolan shook her head and said with regret: "Forget it, the person is gone. There is everything in the carriage now. Let's hurry on."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she turned and left.

Seeing that she really didn't want to buy it, Shen Ziqian had no choice but to follow her.

But before they had taken a few steps, they heard a pleading voice: "Auntie, please buy my wild vegetables. I just picked them from the mountains. They are very fresh."

Shen Ruolan didn't want to pay attention, but when she heard the woman talking about wild vegetables, she subconsciously looked back and saw that it was the woman she had just chased, pestering an old woman to buy her vegetables. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked the woman, "Sister-in-law, can you show me your wild vegetables?"

When the woman heard Shen Ruolan asking about her wild vegetables, she quickly let go of the old nanny, handed her fresh wild vegetables to Shen Ruolan and said, "Look, young lady, these are the wild vegetables I picked in the mountains early in the morning. They are very fresh."

After she finished speaking, she was worried that Shen Ruolan was like the others, not daring to eat it because she had never seen it before, so she quickly added: "Miss, my family has already eaten this wild vegetable, it is non-toxic and delicious."

Shen Ruolan smiled and nodded to the lady, then reached out and picked up the wild vegetables in her backpack and checked them. Seeing that the wild vegetables were the familiar sweet potato vines, she smiled and asked the lady, "Sister-in-law, do you have any more of these wild vegetables?"

The woman shook her head and said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen these wild vegetables, and I only saw one place. I've picked them all back. As for whether there are any in other places, I'm not sure."

Shen Ruolan stopped listening. She felt a little regretful in her heart, but it was enough to have this small backpack. As long as she had seeds, she would be able to achieve sweet potato freedom in a few years.

Shen Ruolan, who had figured it out, looked at the woman and asked, "Sister-in-law, how much do you want to sell these wild vegetables for?"

After hearing Shen Ruolan's question, the woman looked her up and down, hesitated for a moment and said to her: "Girl, these wild vegetables don't last long. If you don't finish eating so many, they will go bad."

Shen Ruolan said: "It doesn't matter. I won't trouble my sister-in-law if it breaks down."

Seeing that the other party was honest, Shen Ruolan's impression of her improved a little.

After the woman heard what Shen Ruolan said, she was silent for a moment, and then said to her: "Miss, if you really want to finish, just give me twenty cents."

The old nanny who was just pestered by the woman, when she heard that she wanted twenty coins for half a basket of wild vegetables, she hurriedly stopped Shen Ruolan and said, "Young lady, don't listen to her. She is a habitual offender. She goes to the mountains to pick some messy things all day to cheat everyone. What's more, how can these grasses be worth twenty coins?"

The woman's face flushed at what the old lady said. She glanced at Shen Ruolan, then lowered her head and said to her anxiously, "Miss, the wild vegetables I picked are really edible. The reason I want twenty coins is because my husband urgently needs money to buy medicine, so I have no choice but to charge you so many copper coins."

Shen Ruolan understood what the woman said. She smiled at the old lady and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but I really like the wild vegetables in her basket."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she said to the woman, "Sister-in-law, I will buy all your wild vegetables and backpacks from you."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she took out twenty-five copper coins from her bosom and handed them to the woman, saying, "I'll give you five cents for the backpack. Is that enough?"

The woman was surprised by Shen Ruolan's straightforward behavior. After hearing her question, she looked at her with gratitude and nodded, "Girl, that's enough, that's enough."

When the old nanny saw that Shen Ruolan refused to listen, she snorted at her and called her a "fool" before walking away without looking back.

Shen Ruolan ignored the others. She took the backpack from the woman, put it on her back and walked away.

When Shen Ziqian saw Shen Ruolan bought a basket of wild vegetables, he looked at her helplessly and said, "Sister Lan, why did you buy so many wild vegetables?"

Shen Ruolan smiled mysteriously at her cousin and said, "Cousin, this is a good thing."

After she finished speaking, she came to the carriage and asked Mu Jin, "Mu Jin, can you send someone to help me deliver these sweet potato vines to Fuzhai and give them to Miao Wei?"
