The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"No problem. I've been strong since I was young. Didn't I often carry more than 100 kilograms of firewood to the county town to sell it?" Chen Youfu said naively.

Chen Qing also hurriedly said: "Sister Lin Xi, I was just scared, I didn't suffer any injuries, I'm fine now, this little weight is not a problem for the young men in our village!"

Lin Xi looked at them carefully, and saw that they looked relaxed and relieved when he saw that they were carrying a sack of Schisandra chinensis.

She looked into the crowd again and saw quite a few boys, all carrying bamboo baskets.

When they saw Lin Xi looking over, they all laughed towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi used to often take them to barbecue, and this time he took their mother to collect herbs to make money. They were very grateful to Lin Xi.

"Sister Lin Xi, are we leaving now?" Lin Xi turned around and saw Chen Yan coming to her with a bamboo basket on his back and asked.

"We're leaving right away. Chen Yan, can you carry it?" Lin Xi asked, looking at the big bamboo basket on Chen Yan's back.

"I can carry it. I picked less, only over 60 kilograms." Chen Yan replied with a smile on his face. He was not depressed because he picked less than others.

"Okay, brothers, let's go! If you get tired on the road, just shout and we'll stop to rest!"

Lin Xi touched Chen Yan's head and shouted to the crowd. Then he turned around and led the way towards the county town with the backpack on his back.

More than half an hour later, Lin Xi and his group arrived at the gate of the county town and lined up behind the long queue entering the city.

At this time, an old, pleading voice was heard from the front.

"Sir, wasn't it two cents to enter the city a few days ago? Why is it five cents today? I really don't have that much money. Please let me in first, and I will sell my things and give you the money, okay?"

"Go, go, go. If you don't have enough money, go back and get it!"

Lin Xi looked over and saw an old man with a hunched back and a load on his shoulder being rudely pushed aside by the guards.

"It costs so much money to enter the city! The grain tax has been increased to 70%, and there is no surplus grain at home! If I can't sell these vegetables, I can't buy food! Oh my God! Open your eyes and look at this world. How can we ordinary people survive?" The old man slapped the ground and cried!

"Alas, this court is courting death!"

"This is going to force us to death!"

"It's not going to allow the common people to survive!"

Suddenly, low cursing and crying were heard from the crowd.

"What are you arguing about? Are you trying to rebel?" The guard drew his knife and shouted at the team.

People suddenly dared not say anything and just lowered their heads and cried silently.

When Lin Xi and his companions saw this scene, they felt deeply saddened and couldn't be happy at all.

The villagers were even more grateful to Lin Xi. If it weren't for Lin Xi, they would have ended up like this.

"Sister Lin Xi, it costs five cents per person to enter the city. How about we pile all the medicine on the cart, and only a few people go in, and then divide the money after we come out." Chen Qing looked at the soldiers collecting money at the city gate, rolled his eyes and said to Lin Xi.

When everyone heard this, they all agreed, thinking that this would save a lot of entrance fees.

At this time, Chen Yan ran to the bonfire outside the city, picked up a thin piece of charcoal, and wrote the name and weight on each person's basket or sack.

After finishing writing, he ran back and said to Lin Xi: "Sister Lin Xi, my mother and I can read, I have already marked the name and weight, so when we come out, we can divide the silver according to the mark."

Chen Youfu and his brothers put all the medicine onto ten carts, so that only ten people needed to go in, saving dozens of coins in city entrance fees!

Hey guys, you can do it! Those who are smart and use their brains, those who can read and write, and those who are strong and can move goods, each has its own strengths!

Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction and led the 9-person cart to line up.

The others found a shady spot outside the city and sat down, waiting patiently.

When it was Lin Xi's turn to enter the city, the soldiers guarding the city saw them pushing so many carts, frowned and asked, "What are you pushing?"

"Oh! Sir! These are some herbs we picked on the mountain! We are delivering them to Huichuntang!" Lin Xi replied with a smile.

The officer wanted to ask them to pay the entrance fee for the carts, so he could charge an extra fifty coins for ten carts! He could have a drink!

But looking at their group of ten people, nine of them are strong and healthy young men.

Although the one leading the group is a girl, one can tell she is a martial artist just by looking at her figure and gait.

Moreover, they were delivering medicine to Huichuntang. As far as he knew, Huichuntang had a powerful background.

In addition, some time ago, Wang Tou was robbed for unknown reasons and the robber has not been caught yet.

Thinking of this, he weighed the entrance fee in his hand, waved his hand and let them into the city!

After entering the city, Lin Xi would occasionally see one or two children squatting on the street with a piece of grass stuck in their hair, and an adult squatting next to them, either with a sad face or crying softly.

"Alas! They can't make ends meet and are forced to sell their child!" Chen Damazi saw Lin Xi looking at the children on the roadside and explained to her.

Lin Xi nodded without saying anything. Feeling a little heavy-hearted, he pushed the cart and walked quickly towards Huichun Hall.

"Ms. Lin Xi, you're here!" When they arrived at the door of Huichun Hall, Quanfu spotted Lin Xi with his sharp eyes and hurriedly came forward to say goodbye.

He looked at the several carts following Lin Xi and realized that they were here to deliver Schisandra chinensis.

Then he said, "Miss Lin Xi, please come with me to the back door. The car can be pushed directly into the yard!"

So Lin Xi and a few others pushed the cart and followed Quanfu to the backyard.

Shopkeeper Zhou had just heard Quanfu's voice and was already waiting in the yard.

After Lin Xi and the others pushed the cart in, he untied a few sacks, took out a few handfuls of Schisandra chinensis from time to time to check, and nodded with satisfaction.

He said to Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, this Schisandra chinensis is of very good quality. I want all of it! If you pick more in the future, please send them to me! Let's go and ask them to weigh and settle the bill. Uncle Zhou has a prescription to ask you!"

"Uncle Zhou, please give us copper coins instead of silver when you pay the bill, so that I can distribute it to my fellow villagers after we leave!" Lin Xi said to Shopkeeper Zhou.

"Okay, no problem! Quanfu, do as Miss Lin Xi says!" Shopkeeper Zhou agreed readily and instructed Quanfu.

Quanfu nodded in agreement and started to get busy.

Lin Xi gave Chen Qing and the others a few instructions, then followed Shopkeeper Zhou to the front to look at the prescription.

"Uncle Zhou, is someone poisoned? And is it a cold poison?"

In the side room, Lin Xi looked up and asked Manager Zhou while holding a prescription.

"Yes, yes, yes! Lin Xi girl, how do you think we can cure this cold poison? How should this prescription be adjusted? I have used this prescription on the patient, but the effect is not very obvious!" Shopkeeper Zhou asked Lin Xi, twirling his beard and sighing.

"Uncle Zhou, I need to see the patient first. How can I judge whether the poison can be detoxified? How to detoxify? And how to adjust the prescription?"

Lin Xi looked at Shopkeeper Zhou and asked in confusion. It was said that with Shopkeeper Zhou's medical skills, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
