Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

At daybreak, I lit a fire and sliced ​​the remaining potatoes that Granny Wang had sent me and cooked some potato soup. We each ate a little and told Xiaobao to look after the house. Dabao and I each carried some Gastrodia elata and headed for the town. It was about ten miles from the town. A bullock cart cost two cents per person, and now even a penny can make a hero fall. Dabao saw the desire for the bullock cart in my eyes and said to me with his head down;

"Mom, we don't have any money. Uncle Liu, we don't sell on credit."

Is this little bastard's eyes so sharp? He can even see through my little thoughts: "Mom doesn't want to ride in the ox cart, it's too bumpy, I'll just take a look. Let's go, let's go early and come back early."

Dabao looked at me walking forward angrily from behind and smiled with his lips pursed.

It was already morning when I arrived in town. I was sweating and exhausted. I put the things on the street and decided to take a rest. There was an old lady next to me carrying a basket with an old hen in it. I decided to ask around and see where I could sell it. "Sister, do you know how many pharmacies there are in this town?"

"As for pharmacies, there's a Baohetang a little east of here. The owner there offers very good deals. You can go and have a look," the aunt replied with a smile, very kindly.

"Thank you, sister. Your chicken looks well-fed. I'm sure I can sell it for a good price today."

"That's good, thank you, big sister!"

We said goodbye to the elder sister and followed the path she pointed out. Dabao and I each carried a bag and came to Baohetang. When we walked in, a waiter was wiping the counter. When he saw us come in, he came over with clear eyes and asked;

"What do you want to buy? We have a complete range of everything here."

"Is your shopkeeper here? I have some medicinal herbs here and I'd like to show them to you."

"Yes, please wait a moment. I will call the shopkeeper for you."

But after a moment, a middle-aged man walked out from the backyard. He was gentle and looked like a very kind person.

"Sister, what medicinal herbs do you have? Can you pour them out for me to see?"

"Shopkeeper, sure. I have some Gastrodia elata here. What's the price you can give me?" I took a few out of the basket and handed them to the shopkeeper. He took them, looked at them carefully, and even pinched a little root and put it in his mouth to taste it:

"How much of this Gastrodia elata do you have? It's just that this is wet, so it can't be the same as the dry one. I'll give you 20 cents per pound! If you think it's okay, ask the waiter to weigh it for you!"

One tael of silver is worth 1000 wen, which is equivalent to 1000 yuan in modern times. I have about 100 jin, or taels of silver, so this price is fair. The most important thing is that I am not familiar with any place now. I have nothing to sell at home, so I need to go buy some things to take back.

"Okay, boss, can you take a look at how heavy this is?"

"Laifu, weigh this Gastrodia elata and pay the money to this lady." The shopkeeper turned around and said to me, "Sister, if you come across it next time, you can also send it here. As long as it is of this quality, I will give you the same price. If you have other herbs, you can also bring them here. Anyway, you won't lose out."

"Thank you, boss. If I meet you again next time, I will come to you. But I wonder if you also accept other medicinal herbs here?"

"Yes, we accept all kinds of medicinal herbs here. As long as the quality is good, we will definitely not give you a bad price."

By this time, Lai Fu had already weighed the medicinal materials, a total of 152 kilograms, and three taels of silver was 40 wen more.

I made an appointment with the shopkeeper to send him some herbs next time. I said goodbye and came out. I turned around and saw Dabao beside me. He looked a little dazed. I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "What's wrong? Dabao, you look absent-minded."

"Mom, are you really my mom?"

I shuddered in my heart. Is it necessary to be so sensitive? This body is your mother, but the soul is not!

"Why do you say that? Am I your mother? Don't you know? It's just that after I hit my head, my mind became much clearer, and I remembered a lot more, things I had never remembered before." We don't even know where our original mother's home is, so this explanation can be concealed.

"Mom, you will always be like this, right? You won't change back, right? I like the way you are now, not the way you were always bullied by grandma and the others!"

"Well, I won't change back. If I stay like this in the future, will Dabao dislike me?"

"No, no matter what you look like, I will never despise you. When you get old, I will take care of you and work hard to make money so that you can live a good life."

"Okay, as long as you don't despise me, let's go buy some things and go back. No matter what I look like, it's all your mother's fault. Let's go to the market and buy some oil and rice so I can make you a nice meal."

"Well, Mom, we also need to buy a kitchen knife and some bowls and chopsticks. Can we also buy a hoe? We can open up some wasteland to grow vegetables. Otherwise, we will have no vegetables to eat in a while."

"Okay, I'll listen to my son. My son is the best."
