The next day, when Zhou Sisi got on the ox cart again with the bamboo basket on her back, the aunts in the village were obviously much more enthusiastic.

He praised her so much that her face turned red.

"Sisi, why didn't your grandma go to town with you?" asked Grandma Yang.

Yesterday Zhou Sisi gave her a piece of mutton. The whole family enjoyed it with their mouths drooling. Grandma Yang thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

Money is hard to earn these days, and there are many people in the family, so it’s not easy to eat meat.

"My grandma is making school bags for my two younger brothers at home. My younger brothers are going to school."

Zhou Sisi didn't want to hide it. It was only a matter of time before the villagers knew about it, so there was no need for her to hide it.

"Nian'an and the others are going to study? Studying is good! Maybe someone from your family will become a high-ranking official in the future." Grandma Yang praised sincerely.

"Haha, then I'll borrow Grandma Yang's good words!" Zhou Sisi smiled.

Most of the people in the car were from Qingshan Village, and they all knew about Zhou Sisi's family situation. When they heard what Zhou Sisi said, they were secretly surprised. For two educated people, this groom's salary was not cheap!

In addition, pens, ink, paper and inkstone are all very expensive.

Zhou Sisi doesn't care what others think. She just does whatever she wants to do and doesn't need others to judge whether she is right or wrong.

We soon arrived at Sishui Town, and followed the same process of paying to enter the town.

The first stop was to find a restaurant to sell the mutton. It was quite heavy to carry on the back.

Zhou Sisi came to the busiest main street, looked around, and this was it!

He carried the bamboo basket and walked into a restaurant called Songhe Restaurant.

"Hello, sir, we are not open yet!" When the waiter saw Zhou Sisi come in, he immediately came forward and greeted her warmly.

"Hey, young man, I'm not here to eat. I want to ask if you guys sell game here?"

"I have some fresh wild goat meat. I'd like to ask your shopkeeper if he wants some?"

Zhou Sisi explained in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and glanced around the store. The store was very clean and the waiter did not have a snobbish expression. It seemed that the owner of this store was a very particular person.

"Oh! Yes, I have. Please wait a moment, I will go and call the shopkeeper!" The waiter answered and went to find the shopkeeper.

Soon, a thin old man with a goatee came out. He had a shrewd look in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"My last name is Jiang, and they all call me Shopkeeper Jiang. Can I have a look at your mutton?"

"Hello, Shopkeeper Jiang, of course you can. Take a look. I shot this last night. I killed it at home for easier transportation."

"This is a sheep's head and fresh mutton!"

Zhou Sisi put the bamboo basket on the ground, uncovered the floral cloth covering it, and showed the mutton inside to Shopkeeper Jiang.

Shopkeeper Jiang was startled as if he saw a huge sheep's head. Then he saw the mutton underneath. He touched it with his hand and put it under his nose to smell it.

"May I ask how much you plan to sell it for?" Shopkeeper Jiang raised his eyes and a shrewd smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"To be honest, Shopkeeper Jiang, this is my first time selling game here, so I don't know how much I should sell it for."

"Looking at your celestial appearance, I believe you won't lie to me. I'll tell you whatever you say!"

"This sheep's head is just a bonus. I don't want any money!"

"Okay! Little girl, you have good taste. You know to come to our Songhe Restaurant."

"Our restaurant is famous for being honest and fair. This mutton is 25 cents per pound. If you trust me, I will ask the waiter to take you to weigh it!"

Shopkeeper Jiang first shouted "good" loudly, and then looked at Zhou Sisi with appreciation.

It had been a long time since he had met a girl who was so eloquent, not at all shy, and efficient.

"It's all up to Manager Jiang!" Zhou Sisi said with a bow.

Soon the waiter weighed out the mutton, and the total price was eight taels and two cents of silver.

Zhou Sisi directly took the eight taels of silver and returned the remaining two taels.

"Thank you, Manager Jiang. I'll treat you to some tea!"

"Goodbye!" Zhou Sisi didn't say anything extra. She just bowed and said goodbye, then walked away with her empty bamboo basket on her back!

"Wait a minute!" Shopkeeper Jiang called out to her.

"If you have game in the future, remember to come again, girl!"

"Pheasants, wild ducks, rabbits, wild boars, all are collected, preferably whole!"

"We also accept dried goods, such as mushrooms and the like. We accept all those that are of good quality!" Shopkeeper Jiang instructed.

"Okay, thank you for the information, Manager Jiang. If you hunt game in the future, I will send it to you as soon as possible. Goodbye!"

After watching Zhou Sisi walk away for a long time, Shopkeeper Jiang withdrew his gaze and put the two coins in his hand into his pocket.

"When this girl comes again, notify me immediately!" Shopkeeper Jiang gave the instructions, and the waiters nodded in agreement.

Zhou Sisi strode towards the pharmacy where she had bought ginseng seeds before.

"Why are you here again, little girl? What seeds do you want today?" The white-bearded old man heard the noise at the door, looked up and saw that it was Zhou Sisi, and immediately exclaimed.

"Shopkeeper, I'm not buying seeds today. I want to ask if you accept ginseng?"

"What? You grew it?" The old man with white beard stood up suddenly.

Zhou Sisi just had a speechless expression and rolled her eyes at the white-bearded old man.

"What do you think? It's not like laying eggs, how can it be that easy?"

"I just came to ask you?"

"Oh! Yes, we do. We're a pharmacy, of course we do!" The old man with white beard sat back down.

"Then can you help me take a look? How much would you like for this?" Zhou Sisi took out the wrapped ginseng from her arms, opened the moss and displayed it in front of the white-bearded old man.

Zhou Sisi knew that a good car could reach the speed of catapult takeoff when it started. Today was an eye-opener for her. She didn't expect that a person could also be launched from the spot.

In a flash, the old man with white beard snatched the ginseng from her hand.

"You little bastard, how can you pack ginseng like this? You are simply wasting heaven's gift!"

"Oh my god! This ginseng must have been growing for thousands of years, hahahaha! I never thought I would see such a good ginseng in my lifetime!"

"Your luck is simply incredible! It's even lower than the chance of gold ingots raining from the sky!"

The white-bearded old man started mumbling, and Zhou Sisi looked very embarrassed.

If the old man knew that it took less than five minutes for this ginseng to grow so big from being planted, he would definitely be scared to death.

And I bought this seed from him, hahaha! I'm sure I'll vomit blood.

"Boss, you haven't told me how much it is yet?" Zhou Sisi reminded the white-bearded old man by poking his finger on the back.

"Eight thousand taels, I'll take it!"

"How much?" Zhou Sisi almost thought she was hallucinating.

Oh my god! Is this ginseng so valuable? If she grows a few more, she will become a rich woman! Wow! Hahaha!
