Early the next morning, Shen Laosan took Shen Mingzhu and Su and drove to the county town in a ox cart borrowed from the village chief's house.
Arriving at a deserted place, Shen Lao San looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said to Shen Mingzhu:
"Zhuzhu, there's no one here, we can exchange wild vegetables."
Shen Mingzhu also looked around and saw that it was safe, so she said to the system: "Dog, exchange wild vegetables."
In an instant, a cartload of wild vegetables disappeared from the ox cart. Shen Laosan and Su looked at Shen Mingzhu in surprise.
Shen Lao San blinked and asked:
"Is that all? More than 800 kilograms can be converted into copper coins just like that?"
It’s no wonder that he was so shocked, but the education he received in his previous life made him feel incredible.
Even though he knew that Shen Mingzhu had something called a system, the feeling of seeing it with his own eyes was different.
Shen Mingzhu pointed her finger at the ox cart, and like a magic trick, a pile of copper coins appeared where the wild vegetables disappeared.
Su was also surprised and asked, "So many?"
Shen Mingzhu explained: "There are 250 catties of purslane, 160 catties of shepherd's purse, 380 catties of snails, and 75 catties of red amaranth, a total of 865 catties of wild vegetables. The exchange rate of purslane is 15 wen per catty, shepherd's purse is 18 wen per catty, and the exchange rate of snails and red amaranth is 15 wen per catty. The total exchange rate is 13 taels of silver, 455 copper coins."
Even though Shen Laosan and Su had seen big scenes in their previous lives, they never thought that they could earn so much money by purchasing wild vegetables in a day.
You know, many families, with more than a dozen people, only earn four or five taels of silver a year, but they earn 12 taels of silver in a day?
Shen Laosan knew that among the more than 2 kilograms of wild vegetables, only shepherd's purse was purchased at 1 cents per kilogram, while the other wild vegetables were purchased at cent.
It only cost them 1025 copper coins to purchase these wild vegetables. In total, they earned 12 copper coins by collecting wild vegetables for a day, which is 430 taels of silver, or coins.
Shen Lao San quickly accepted this fact. After his excitement passed, he took a deep breath and said to Shen Mingzhu:
"Zhuzhu, change this money into silver and put it in your space!"
Shen Mingzhu nodded and put the copper coins away.
Su also smiled and said, "We Zhuzhu are just lucky. Even after traveling through time, we were able to obtain this heaven-defying treasure. Zhuzhu, you must remember that except for us, don't tell anyone about your exchange system, not even your future husband."
Su was a little worried about Shen Mingzhu's future, but Shen Lao San thought more about it. After telling Shen Mingzhu not to tell anyone about the exchange system, he secretly decided to work hard to pass the imperial examination.
He knew very well the importance of power in this world. With power in his hands and a higher position in his position, he could better protect his daughter.
Seeing that her parents were in deep thought, Shen Mingzhu nudged Shen Lao San with her elbow.
"Dad, this money is for you." He handed a purse to Shen Lao San and said to Su Shi,
"Mother, I know you have money, so I won't give you any."
Su glanced at Shen Mingzhu and said, "You damn girl, you actually treat me differently."
Shen Mingzhu said coquettishly: "No, mother, you have money from selling embroidery, and father has to go to school now, and he has no money, so I will give him some money."
"With your skills, isn't it easy to get money?"
Shen looked at her daughter's naughty face and said with a smile, "You little girl! Mother was just joking with you."
Shen Laosan opened the purse given by Shen Mingzhu and asked curiously, "Zhuzhu, where did you get the thirty taels of silver?"
His daughter is so capable, he needs to work harder!
"Of course I earned it! Yesterday afternoon, when I was bored, I went into the mountains and dug up a lot of Polygonatum odoratum. I sold it for more than 100 taels of silver. Dad, you can use this money to buy paper and pens! And buy books. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."
Shen Mingzhu acted like a wealthy person, which made Shen Lao San and Su laugh. Shen Lao San sighed:
"My daughter is so capable. She knows how to respect her father. I, Shen Ruhai, am so blessed."
Shen Mingzhu and her family of three came to the county town chatting and laughing. When they arrived at the city gate, Shen Laosan gave the gatekeeper five copper coins based on his memory, parked the ox cart in the ox cart parking area, and took Shen Mingzhu and Su to the door of an embroidery shop.
Shen Mingzhu and Su entered the embroidery shop and looked around. The waiter saw customers coming in and greeted them warmly: "What do you want to buy?"
Su said, "Let me take a look at the fabric and embroidery thread."
"Madam, do you want to see coarse cloth or fine cotton? We have a piece of fine cotton that has just arrived. Madam, you can come over here and take a look."
The waiter was very enthusiastic. Seeing that although Su and Shen Mingzhu were wearing coarse linen clothes, they behaved in a dignified and elegant manner and were obviously not ordinary peasant women, he became even more enthusiastic.
Su looked at the rolls of fine cotton cloth on the counter and had already planned how much she wanted to buy. Shen Mingzhu took the opportunity to ask the waiter, "Brother Xiaoer, do you sell embroidery?"
The waiter looked at Su's hand and said, "I'll take it. You want to sell embroidery? What do you want to sell?"
"Handkerchief"
"Handkerchiefs! We have our own embroiderers, but we also buy handkerchiefs from outside. However, we will set the price based on the quality of the embroidery. An ordinary handkerchief costs 2 wen, while a handkerchief with good embroidery and good fabrics costs 5 to 10 wen."
Shen Mingzhu nodded. The purchase price of ordinary handkerchiefs in Ningchang Town was only 1 cent a piece. It was 1 cent higher here. I might as well give it a try. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the waiter say:
"Girls, please take out your handkerchiefs. I'll ask the shopkeeper to take a look."
Shen Mingzhu agreed: "Okay"
Not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing red fine cotton clothes, a carp silver hairpin on her head, and a pair of silver bell earrings walked out from behind the curtain.
As soon as the woman came out, she asked Su and Shen Mingzhu, "Are you the ones who want to sell the handkerchief?"
Su nodded, and the woman said:
"My name is Li Sanniang. Let me take a look at your handkerchiefs before pricing them!"
Shen Mingzhu took out a linen bag from her backpack, took out the embroidered handkerchief, and was about to hand it over when she saw Li Sanniang walking towards her quickly.
Li Sanniang stared at the handkerchief and her breathing became rapid. She carefully took the handkerchief, looked at it carefully, and touched it again and again, as if it were a treasure.
For a moment, the entire embroidery shop was suddenly quiet. The waiter stared at the handkerchief with burning eyes, while Su and Shen Mingzhu looked at each other without saying a word.
After a long while, Li Sanniang realized that she had lost control. She reluctantly handed the handkerchief to Shen Mingzhu and went upstairs with Su and Shen Mingzhu.
As soon as she reached the second floor, Li Sanniang asked the waiter to bring some snacks and tea, and said to Su:
"My name is Li Sanniang, and I'm the owner of this embroidery shop. How should I address you?"
Su took a sip of tea and said:
"My last name is Su, and my husband's last name is Shen. You can call me Madam Su or Madam Shen. This is my daughter, Shen Mingzhu. What are these handkerchiefs of mine?"
Li Sanniang continued to ask, "Did you embroider these handkerchiefs yourself, Madam Su?"
Su nodded. Shen Mingzhu noticed that Li Sanniang's breathing became noticeably faster. She said excitedly:
"This is double-sided embroidery! Sister, can you embroider double-sided embroidery?"
After receiving Su's affirmation, Li Sanniang became even more excited, "That's great!"
