Li Mingxia raised her eyebrows. According to her judgment, this was definitely not the quality of a thousand-year-old ginseng. However, Doctor Qi seemed to have superb medical skills. Could it be that this dynasty had a different set of standards when evaluating the years of life?

Doctor Qi saw that Li Mingxia didn't say anything and thought that she didn't believe what he said, so he said, "Although thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely rare, I have seen it several times, so it is definitely correct."

After hearing what Doctor Qi said, Li Mingxia knew that the standards for judging ginseng here should be different from those in modern times.

Thousand-year-old ginseng? Isn't that better? The price should be higher, right?

"Then Doctor Qi, how much do you think my ginseng is worth?" Li Mingxia asked impatiently.

Doctor Qi looked up and down at the ginseng in the box. The roots were very long and the ginseng was plump. It was well preserved, which confirmed that the medicinal effect had not been lost. Such a good thing was really rare. He looked at the ginseng and then at Li Mingxia. He wanted to tell her that such a good thing was hard to come by, and if she kept it in her hands, it might be of great use in the future. But when he looked at Li Mingxia's clothes, which were clean but obviously not made of good fabric, he sighed in his heart and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

"If you want to sell it, I can offer you one thousand five hundred taels, but the price of this ginseng is more than that. If you can meet a nobleman, two thousand taels or even more is also possible." Doctor Qi gritted his teeth and spoke.

It is impossible to say that he had no thoughts about this ginseng, but he did not hide the true value of this ginseng. This is his way of being.

Li Mingxia nodded, "I'll think about it."

One thousand five hundred taels, this was already a sky-high price for Li Mingxia now, but she was more tempted by the higher price mentioned by Doctor Qi.

If she could only live in Qianniu Village for the rest of her life, it would be fine to sell it, but Li Mingxia wanted to see a wider world and could not be limited to this.

Doctor Qi was a little surprised to see Li Mingxia so calm. One thousand five hundred taels was definitely an astronomical figure for an ordinary citizen. Even in the town, there were not many people who could afford one thousand five hundred taels of silver. How could this little girl in front of him not have any reaction? !

"Thank you very much, Doctor Qi." Li Mingxia put the box of ginseng back into the basket, stood up and said goodbye to Doctor Qi.

Seeing Li Mingxia casually putting the thousand-year-old ginseng he had been longing for into the basket, Doctor Qi felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Girl, keep it well. Don't be so careless. What if you lose it?" Doctor Qi rubbed his chest and kept muttering to Li Mingxia.

Li Mingxia agreed, "Don't worry, it won't be lost."

Of course it can't be lost. Once out of the door, the ginseng will be collected in her own space. Who has the ability to steal things from her space? But of course she can't tell Doctor Qi this, so Doctor Qi stared at Li Mingxia's basket all the way.

After going out, Li Mingxia put the ginseng back into his own space and quickly returned to his family's stall. Zhang and several of her brothers and sisters had been looking around, and when they saw Li Mingxia coming back, they began to pack up.

"Sold out?" Li Mingxia said with a smile. It was almost sold out. Zhang nodded happily. "Not long after you left, someone came and bought all the remaining crayfish!"

"Sold them all?" Li Mingxia was stunned. She remembered that there were at least half left when she left. Although it was not a lot, it was not a small amount. She didn't expect to meet a big customer.

"Yes, we've bought everything. Let's go and go home quickly." Zhang said with a smile.

Li Mingxia thought that there were still a lot of things at home and there was nothing else to buy, so he agreed, and the four of them, mother and son, returned to the village.

The people sitting in the car were all from the village, and they knew each other on weekdays. These days, Li Mingxia's family went to the town every day, carrying large baskets and small backpacks. One could tell at a glance that they were going to sell things. And looking at the rosy and plump faces of the children, one could tell that they were living a comfortable life these days.

"Mrs. Zhang, what are you selling? Why do you go to town every day? Your sales are so good? You must be making a lot of money?" The gossipy young wife couldn't control her mouth and pulled Mrs. Zhang to ask questions.

Li Mingxia also let them pester Zhang with questions.

It was impossible to keep these things secret. If they didn't steal or rob, what was wrong with doing a little business? If they had the ability, they could go too. She wasn't worried that Zhang would let it slip. After all, she had always done these things herself. Even if Zhang wanted to let it slip, she couldn't say anything.

"We didn't make any money at all. We just sold the food our sister Xia made. It was hard-earned money. Oh, if it weren't for our sister Xia, we would have starved to death!"

"What if I don't come every day? Will you skip a meal one day? Look at how many mouths there are at home, big and small. I dare not not come!" There were some things Zhang couldn't say after all. She could only sigh and swallow them back into her stomach.

But her silence didn't mean that others didn't know. Someone who was outspoken directly responded to Zhang's words.

"That's the truth. When you split up the family, Sister Xia almost lost her life and had to live on such a small amount of things. How could she survive without making some money?"

"That's right. We are all mothers. It doesn't matter if we suffer a little or get tired. We have to raise our children anyway, right?"

"Sister-in-law Zhang has also suffered!"

These words touched Zhang's heart. Her eyes turned red, and several people started to comfort her.

"Oh, look, life is getting better and better. Don't shed tears anymore."

"Your children are all very sensible, especially your sister Xia. She looks like she can handle everything at home and outside. Sister Zhang, don't worry, your good days are still ahead!"

"That's not what it is!"

Li Mingxia listened to these people talking to Zhang, thinking that there were still good people among them, and not all of them were as useless as those bastards in the Li family's old house.

Everyone chatted happily along the way, and Zhang still felt a little reluctant to leave after getting off the car, so after dinner, Zhang made an unprecedented decision to ask a few children to go under the big tree at the entrance of the village to chat with everyone.

Of course Li Mingxia agreed 100%. Staying at home every day would cause problems, but Zhang seemed to have always been afraid to take this step. It must be the friendly communication on the ox cart today that gave her the confidence.
