The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 2: Going into the mountains to collect herbs and sell them for money
After careful consideration, Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei decided to stay and recuperate before leaving.
"Master, this environment is much worse. I am sorry to have to trouble you."
I wonder when their master has ever suffered such hardship.
Uncle Tian waved his hands, not caring at all.
"It's okay, we'll just ask the little girl to take care of us. This way, you and I will try to reduce the trouble for the little girl as much as possible."
Uncle Hei nodded in agreement after hearing this. After the two finished their discussion, they lay down and fell asleep.
As the sky was getting light, Shen Jiarou brought in some fruits and left again.
At such a young age, she ran to the river to catch fish, luckily the river was not very deep.
Fortunately, her hard work paid off and she finally caught a few.
He went home carrying the basket on his back. The two people in the room heard the sound of the door outside the yard being pushed open, and they immediately became alert. But when they saw it was the little girl, they relaxed.
Shen Jiarou didn't come to see the house, but went straight into the kitchen. After a lot of scrabbling, she finally made the fish soup.
When it was brought to Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei's room, the two of them looked at the fish soup on the table and looked at each other.
"Did you buy it?"
Shen Jiarou saw Uncle Tian asking her and shook her head slightly.
"No, I caught it in the river this morning. Just eat it."
The family was very poor, and after searching for a long time, she only found a little salt, so she had to resign herself to making fish soup.
Caught?
That’s right, our family is broke, where would we get any money? This girl is being treated unfairly.
After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Jiarou looked at them again.
"I wonder if you know any herbs. I want to take some to the county to try."
They both understood what she meant, and Uncle Hei mentioned several herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and Dendrobium officinale. However, they were all relatively expensive, and it was not known whether the girl could find them.
"It's okay, I have to try my luck."
If you can’t find it, it’s fate. If you can find it, you can sell it to improve your life.
Not to mention, after going into the mountains several times and figuring out the whole thing, she actually found some precious medicinal herbs.
The next morning, Shen Jiarou prepared to go to the county with a backpack. Along the way, she met many villagers from Huaishu Village and asked them the direction to the city.
An enthusiastic middle-aged woman looked at her suspiciously.
"Girl, why are you going to the county? It's far away. It will take several days to get there."
What? A few days?
With her small arms and legs, she would have starved to death on the road.
Shen Jiarou was speechless and depressed. Perhaps the aunt couldn't bear to see her sad, so she told her the location of the town, but it would still take half a day to walk there.
Hey, why is it so difficult?
Shen Jiarou had to accept her fate and set out for the town. Fortunately, halfway through the journey, she met a kind old man who let her ride his ox cart for free.
My liberated legs are still trembling a little.
The old man was preparing to return to his village, and thinking that the little girl was not safe, he kindly gave her a ride.
"You don't have to thank me, little girl. Everyone has problems."
People will always encounter various difficulties in their life.
In the afternoon, the two arrived in the town. The old man thought he should be a good person to the end, so he decided to wait for Shen Jiarou there.
Shen Jiarou said a little embarrassedly.
"Well, thank you for your help. Here are some fruits for you to eat to fill your stomach."
The old man took it happily. It seemed that this girl was very grateful.
Shen Jiarou asked along the way and found the first pharmacy. The waiter saw that she was wearing tattered clothes and thought she was a beggar, so he impatiently drove her away.
"Where did you come from, little beggar? We don't have any food here, go somewhere else."
Shen Jiarou was so angry that she wanted to rush up to argue, but her appearance was almost the same as that of a beggar.
She went to the second shop in a frustrated mood. The waiter there probably thought she was a beggar. Without waiting for her to say anything, he went to the inner room, took out two steamed buns and handed them to her.
Shen Jiarou looked at the steamed bun in her hand and found it a little funny, so she quickly explained.
"I'm here to sell medicine."
What? Not a beggar?
Shen Jiarou was afraid that she would not believe it, so she quickly took down the backpack and lifted up the grass on it to show him.
The waiter was shocked. Having been dealing with medicinal herbs in the shop for many years, he knew quite a few.
Most of the herbs in this little girl’s basket are precious medicinal materials.
The waiter was unable to make a decision, so he quickly asked the shopkeeper to come out and check.
The shopkeeper looked carefully and found that the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were all over 50 years old. He was immediately very happy.
"Little girl, did you pick all these?"
When Shen Jiarou saw his expression, she knew there was hope.
"Yes, I picked them in the mountains yesterday and the day before yesterday."
The shopkeeper saw that although Shen Jiarou was young, she was very courageous and dared to go up the mountain alone to pick herbs.
By the way, how did she, a girl from a commoner family, know these precious medicinal materials?
"How do you know these herbs? You should know that they are all good and are more than 50 years old."
The shopkeeper was speaking the truth.
However, Shen Jiarou's answer made him laugh and cry.
"The old immortal told me in my dream."
The shopkeeper and the waiter couldn't help laughing.
The shopkeeper asked again.
"Have you ever been to other people's pharmacies?"
Shen Jiarou shook her head. This was the second store she entered.
The shopkeeper was a little confused. Logically speaking, it was impossible for other shops not to buy such good medicinal materials.
"What problem did you encounter?"
Shen Jiarou answered softly.
"They thought I was a beggar and drove me away."
At this time, the shopkeeper saw the white flour buns in Shen Jiarou's hand and smiled knowingly.
I guess they almost caused a misunderstanding just now, and the loss would have been huge.
"Little girl, since you trust us, uncle won't lie to you. Your Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng could have been sold at a better price due to their age, but you also know that we are a town, so the price is definitely not as good as in the county or provincial capital."
Shen Jiarou looked at the serious shopkeeper and waved her hand to indicate that everything was fine.
"It's okay, just give me the price you can. I have to go back and buy herbs for my two uncles."
When the shopkeeper saw Shen Jiarou's decisive tone, he immediately offered a price of 30 taels and taels for Dendrobium officinale.
She also gave her some copper coins so that she could take a bus back home more easily.
"Girl, uncle will give you some copper coins to make it easier for you to go back. Remember, don't show off your wealth."
Shen Jiarou looked at the kind shopkeeper and nodded.
Afterwards, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to go to the inner room to get some steamed buns and side dishes and eat the steamed buns.
"Take these with you. Also, you can tell your uncle about the injuries of your two uncles at home. I can give you a prescription. You can take the medicine back and boil it for them to drink. They will get better faster."
Shen Jiarou accepted his kindness and started talking about what she could.
The prescription was quickly written and the medicine was prepared. Shen Jiarou was about to pay, but was rejected by the shopkeeper.
"Girl, you don't need the money. Just consider it as your uncle's gift to you. By the way, you can call me Uncle Zhong. If you have any good medicinal herbs in the future, you can also send them to me."
Shen Jiarou understood, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, went to a nearby clothing store, bought a few sets of children's clothes and shoes, and two sets of clothes and shoes for adult men, and left.
The old man who was waiting there thought that the little girl would not come back and began to worry whether something had happened to her.
Shen Jiarou hurried over to the old man carrying a backpack.
"Girl, I thought you weren't coming back."
Shen Jiarou looked at the old man's concerned expression and her heart moved slightly.
"How could that be? Here, Grandpa, this is given to me by someone else. Eat it so we can continue our journey."
The old man looked at the white steamed buns and swallowed his saliva.
He lived for decades, but rarely ate white flour buns.
Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Shen Jiarou knew that he might be embarrassed, so she just put it in his hand.
"Eat it. I have more here."
Seeing the little girl staring at him, the old man had no choice but to eat one steamed bun and put the other one back in his pocket.
He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Shen Jiarou looking at him.
"I'll just eat one, and I'll take the rest back to my granddaughter and my wife."
Shen Jiarou was helpless. Since the old man was concerned about his family, she couldn't do anything about it, so she stuffed another steamed bun into his hand.
Originally the old man was embarrassed to take it, but seeing the glare from Shen Jiarou, he had no choice but to take it.
Well, the girl is kind-hearted. He will take her closer later so that she can walk less. She is the same age as her granddaughter, but looks one or two years younger.
When Shen Jiarou returned home, she took out the white flour buns from her backpack and gave them to Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei.
"Eat."
The two looked at the white steamed buns and were a little puzzled. Why didn't they believe that this girl could get white steamed buns just by going out?
Shen Jiarou spoke up when she saw their puzzled expressions.
"The owner of the pharmacy gave it to me. He also gave me a prescription and prescribed the medicine. I'll go make it for you."
The two were touched that the little girl actually thought of them.
