The casual life of the flat space

Chapter 47 The Storyteller Talks About the Origin

Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and the room was quiet for a long time. It was Bai Tieying who broke the silence first: "Uncle, today is a good day! This is a reunion between grandfather and grandson, you have to treat me to something delicious!"

"What are you eating? Tell me where you got the Ganoderma and ginseng first!" Uncle came to his senses and did not continue the previous topic. What's the point of mentioning it? It's not a pity for him, an old man who is about to die, but these two children are still young!

There were only three of them left in the Bai family. He was not able to support his children, but at least he had the skills to support them for a few years. As long as people were alive, there was hope, right? So the first thing he did was to cut off Bai Tieying's dangerous behavior or situation.

"Okay, okay, uncle, don't be anxious. Listen to me and I will slowly make it up for you... Oh no, I'll tell you. Hahahahaha!"

"You naughty girl! Then tell it truthfully. Oh no, tell it truthfully!" Uncle said, imitating Bai Tieying's tone.

"As you wish!" Bai Tieying clasped his fists to his uncle, and then made up a story for him about how the gyrfalcon was repaying his life-saving grace. It couldn't really be considered a story, right? After all, the ginseng was really given by the gyrfalcon, but the ganoderma was also put on the couple.

"Why do I feel like you are fooling me?" The uncle stroked his beard and looked at Bai Tieying with squinted eyes.

"Absolutely not. It comes to me every night and brings me food! It's thanks to it that I've had enough food these days!"

"That's true. You must have eaten a wild duck or a flying dragon or something like that, right?"

"How do you know?" Bai Tieying widened his eyes.

"Hmph, I heard you say it would bring you food, and then I thought about the legend and habits of the gyrfalcon. There were indeed claw marks on the ginseng just now. Finally, when I compared it with your pulse, it is clear whether you have lied to me or not." The uncle looked at Bai Tieying's stunned expression and became more and more proud.

Bai Tieying knew that herbs were powerful in her previous life, but she never thought they were so powerful. Was this for medical treatment or fortune-telling? Fortunately, she had the gyrfalcon as an excuse, otherwise... She couldn't think any further. This uncle was not simple!

"Uncle, who should we sell the ginseng to?"

"Who else can I sell it to in this county? But I don't want to do that now."

After hearing what his uncle said, Bai Tieying also knew who he was going to sell it to.

"Apart from the county magistrate, who else can afford the price? It would be best if it was someone who has a bad relationship with the county magistrate."

"You are such a smart kid! Humph, Baiyin's fortune is a blessing in disguise." Although he recognized his relationship with his parents and regretted his original choice, he would always remember the fact that he was scolded as "forgetful" and would ask about it in the underworld!

Bai Tieying knew that the old man was quick-witted. If he really held a grudge, he would not have recognized her just now. But she did not respond. How could she respond? Was it not a bad bamboo or a good bamboo shoot? Besides, her grandfather's scolding was indeed a bit harsh. The words she used in the original world's file transfer assistant to scold Party A were not as good as these three words!

"Besides the county magistrate, the only one left is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army."

"From the name, he seems to be a military commander? Since ancient times, civil and military affairs cannot be combined. It seems that they are no exception!"

"Oh? There's something wrong with you! You don't have the knowledge of a country girl."

"You are the country girl! Your whole family... humph!"

"How's the family? Ha, keep talking!"

"You old man, you said I was a country girl and I said something back?"

"You are a country girl. Your household registration is in the village. Is it wrong to call you a country girl?"

After the two of them exchanged sharp words for a while, Bai Tieying was the first to lose.

"Hmph, I respect the elderly, but I won't tell you that I heard it from a storyteller!" Red and blue have always been a couple, so the storyteller is just making up stories! Bai Tieying continued to make up stories without even thinking.

"Oh, is that so! Then I won't ask which storyteller you are, when, where, or which story you told." Uncle nodded at her. Did he think that he had eaten salt for decades in vain? If she didn't want to say it, she didn't have to. It didn't stop him from liking this little girl.

"Our Shang'an County is the first county outside the Yubei Mountains. Since ancient times, it has been the first pass for countries on both sides of the mountains to win or defend against enemies during wars. Although this county is not big, it has a standing army of 50,000. Sometimes you can hear their training slogans in the south of the city, but you haven't seen so many soldiers in the city. We don't know where they are exactly.

Because they are the first to be affected, there are garrisons, and because there is a need for garrisons, there are county magistrates. Do you understand?"

"Do I understand or not?" Bai Tieying asked with innocent eyes blinking.

"Hmph, if you keep being naughty, I'll beat you up!"

"No, that won't do. The rule in my family is to go to Tieying if you have problems, and to Tiexiong if you need a beating!"

"Your family's rules really work in your favor, don't they?"

"That's right. Don't you see who made the rules?" Bai Tieying made a joke about the parts that couldn't be explained. He then asked, "Is it because the commander is so difficult to contact?"

“Yes, I often go to the county magistrate’s place to check the pulse of the old lady, so when you mentioned it just now, I said that I can definitely sell it to you here, and the price can be higher than selling it to the pharmacy.

But I'm not sure about the commander-in-chief. Although the item is good, it's in a damaged state. If I take the initiative to sell it, I may not be able to get a high price. By the way, your Ganoderma lucidum is not damaged, right?"

"It's not broken, that thing is very solid! By the way, uncle, is the Ganoderma lucidum spore powder more valuable?"

"What powder?"

"Oh, it's the powder on the Ganoderma lucidum. I thought it looked like Ganoderma lucidum exploding, so I just made up a random name." Bai Tieying blurted out the name of the original world just now, and when he realized it was wrong, he quickly made up for it.

"Nonsense! The ancient sages have carefully studied the medicines and even taken them personally to confirm their properties and determine their names. How can a young girl like you make up nonsense?" Speaking of medicine, the uncle also became serious.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. What do you call me then?"

"Uh... that's not true."

Bai Tieying wanted to roll her eyes, but this was her uncle, and it wasn't his fault that he didn't study these things, it was determined by the times. It seemed that her plan to hype up Ganoderma lucidum spore powder needed to be reconsidered, and for now, she should just be a Ganoderma lucidum grower!

"Uncle, I'm hungry, but I don't have a penny on me, and I'm counting on selling mountain products to pay off the debt! How about you spend some money? Once I sell the mountain products, I can treat you to a meal at a big restaurant!"

"Humph, you're still going to a big restaurant? With the clothes you're wearing, even if you just stand at the door and don't go in, people will think you're an eyesore and chase you away!"

"'Clothes are more valuable when they are clean than when they are fancy'. I just don't know how to sew. If there is really a snob like me, I won't go. I won't give him the chance to make money from me!"

"Haha, these sentences are well said. Which storyteller said them?"
