The next morning, Hunter Xu hired a ox cart and planned to deliver the two wild boars to the restaurant with Old Man Xu.

Xu Congyi also got up early and watched his grandfather and father load the wild boar into the car. The wild boar was not dead yet, but was still unconscious. Hunters in this dynasty used a herb called heartbreak grass as a drug for animals. Although it is called heartbreak grass, it will not cause heartbreak. If a person accidentally eats it, it will induce vomiting, otherwise they may be unconscious for a day or two. The drug used for hunting is the boiled and concentrated one, which has a stronger effect. For a wild boar like this, the person will be unconscious for two days after eating it.

Today happened to be the second day after the wild boar was fed with sleeping pills. In order to prevent the wild boar from waking up and breaking free, Hunter Xu tightly wrapped it with hemp rope several times to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

"Dad, you guys go and kill the pig, what are you going to do with the pig's offal?"

"Pig offal? Of course they are thrown away! They are fishy and smelly, but no one eats them."

"I want it, especially the pig intestines. Dad, please bring it back to me! There's a delicious way to eat it in the Immortal Book. I want to try it!"

After hesitating for a while, Hunter Xu finally agreed. After all, his daughter didn't want the stars or the moon, she just wanted two pairs of pig intestines, so he would definitely satisfy her. What's more, his daughter said that there was a method of making it in the book of immortals, and the immortals all eat this stinky thing, so maybe it is really delicious!

After having breakfast at home, Hunter Xu and his father planned to set off in the ox cart, but Xu Congyi had no intention of letting them go like this. Instead, he strongly demanded to go into the city himself.

"My dear daughter, Daddy is going to the city to kill pigs, not to go shopping. How can a little girl like you watch this? What if you get scared and get hurt?"

"That's right," Old Man Xu also took over the conversation, "Tell grandpa what you want to buy, and grandpa and dad will buy it for you."

"Grandpa, Dad, I don't want to go with you to kill a pig, I want to go to the pharmacy."

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Hunter Xu hurriedly pulled Xu Congyi over and looked her up and down. Old man Xu was also a little anxious.

"No, Dad. If you want to make the pig intestines delicious, you need a few seasonings. Some of them can only be bought at the pharmacy. In addition to going to the pharmacy, I also have to go to the spice store."

After hearing this, the father and son felt relieved. In this case, they took Xu Congyi with them into the city.

When they arrived in the city, the father and son first sent the wild boar to the backyard of the restaurant, intending to let Old Man Xu and Xu Congyi go together, while he and the restaurant's chefs could complete the task of slaughtering the pig.

Xu Congyi did not refuse. Firstly, Old Man Xu was going to the pharmacy to sell ginseng, and it would be a good opportunity for them to go together. Secondly, Xu Congyi had no money on him, so he had to ask his grandfather to pay for him.

The grandfather and grandson first came to Jiyitang, which is the largest pharmacy in Qicheng. More importantly, the boss here is very good. He never lowers the price of the medicinal materials sent by the people, but pays according to the type, completeness and cleanliness of the medicinal materials. Old man Xu's ginseng was also sold here. Therefore, the people are convinced, and the doctors here are very strong in both medical ethics and medical skills. When Xu Congyi was seriously ill, no doctor was willing to come to his home to see him. The only one who was willing to come was the doctor from Jiyitang.

When they arrived at Jiyitang, the grandfather and grandson explained their purpose of coming to sell ginseng. The waiter led them to the inner room, where the shopkeeper Li of Jiyitang was sitting behind the table with a smile on his face.

The few of them didn't say much. Old Man Xu took out fifteen ginsengs wrapped in red cloth and placed them on the table. Shopkeeper Li gently opened the cloth packages. Seeing the ginsengs in the packages, Old Man Xu was a little confused. He clearly remembered that some of the ginsengs were of poor quality. Not only were they small, but the whiskers were also broken. But these fifteen were all very good.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Shopkeeper Li said three good things in a row. In recent years, there have been many ginseng pickers who have sent ginseng to Jiyitang, but ginseng roots as large, well-proportioned and full as these are rare. Moreover, the ginseng whiskers are also in good shape, and can be called top quality.

After seeing the ginseng, the next thing is to discuss the price. The fifteen ginsengs are divided into different grades. Five of them are top-quality ginsengs, but because they are not very old, Manager Li gave a price of thirty-five taels each. The rest are calculated as medium-quality ginsengs and given a price of fifteen taels each. The total price is three hundred and twenty-five taels. Manager Li added another five taels to make it three hundred and thirty taels.

Hearing the price, Xu Congyi was not surprised. After all, she was very confident about the ginseng she bought from her own space. But Old Man Xu was not calm. The last time he went to the mountain to collect ginseng, it only cost fifteen taels of silver.

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson had no objection, Shopkeeper Li sent the accountant to the money shop to exchange silver. Shopkeeper Li had considered everything carefully. Three hundred taels were silver bills for easy carrying, and the remaining thirty taels were small change and copper coins for easy spending.
