The casual life of the flat space

After walking around, Bai Tieying took his uncle and walked back in the other direction.

"What are you going to do?" Uncle asked curiously.

"Go back to the clinic!"

"This road can lead back, but how did you know?"

"Uncle, I met an old man who lived to be 70 years old in that place. Can you guess why he lived so long?" Bai Tieying suddenly whispered mysteriously.

"Oh? Tell me about it." The uncle's curiosity was aroused.

"He said: 'Drink more wine, eat more meat, ignore everything else, and you will naturally live longer.'"

"You silly girl! Are you picking on me here?" The uncle understood and couldn't help but scold with a smile.

"Uncle, there are some things I don't want to lie to you about, and I will never hurt your love for me, so..." Bai Tieying stopped, looked up at his uncle and said seriously.

"That's enough. Oh! Old people are just annoying! It's not even a day and you already dislike me. Whatever you say, whatever you say!"

"Who said that? An old man in the family is like a treasure. Tiexiong and I have finally found a backer. How could we dislike you?"

“Humph, I’m talking about you. You even brought Tiexiong with you! No, I have to go back to Xianhe Village with you to make sure you don’t lead Tiexiong astray!”

"Okay, okay, that's exactly what I want. My family just happens to be in need of someone to look after the kids and cook."

"What? You want me, a great doctor like Baiyin Zhubai, to look after your child and cook for you? Don't you know much about your uncle Dafu's experience of being beaten? Hey, don't run away. Come here and I will tell you how I look after your child."

Bai Tieying made a face at his uncle without stopping, and the two of them walked back one after the other.

"Eh? This store?" Bai Tieying saw the store with the sign in the space.

"This is Chunfutang, a shop that sells mountain products. It's been around for nearly a hundred years, and three generations have been running this business. The owner's surname is Zhang, and he's a very honest man. Whenever villagers or mountain people come to sell their products, he never lowers the price. Sometimes he even buys the products even if they're not in good condition, because he doesn't want them to have to carry them back."

Bai Tieying cheered in her heart, turned around and discussed with her uncle to ask him to wait for her in the clinic. She made up her mind and went into the shop.

"Hello, sir. Are you looking for something to order or to sell? Our Chun Fu Tang is a century-old store. Our products are genuine and we offer fair prices. We guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

The waiter did not neglect Bai Tieying because of his young age and poorly dressed, and still greeted him warmly. He also saw that Bai Tieying was unfamiliar, and he was carrying a backpack on his back, so he was probably a villager or mountain dweller.

Bai Tieying was also in high spirits. Seeing the waiter's enthusiasm, he thought to himself, "It's worthy of being a century-old store!" Then he said, "Hello, uncle! I'm from Xianhe Village and came to the city to visit relatives. The village chief asked me to stop by the city to find your store and ask how to buy mountain products."

"Look, the village chief has good taste. He is not picky when it comes to Chunfutang to sell mountain products. You should come here!

Little girl, please sit down and rest your feet, and drink some hot tea. You are really amazing to be able to do things for the village chief! My kid is already twelve years old, but he can't speak clearly, it's hard to get him to do anything!"

"Twelve? Uncle, you don't look like a child that old. If it's not out of politeness, I might as well call you brother."

Bai Tieying walked to a table with the waiter and sat down, then took off the backpack and put it on the ground and continued, "Uncle, don't praise me, you are so outstanding, your brother can't be wrong either!

To be honest, I went to eat just now and several customers looked at me. I saw that the waiter looked unhappy and finished eating in a hurry. Now I am really thirsty!"

"Which restaurant is so foolish? Tell me and I'll scold him later! And you have to tell the owner to deduct his wages!"

"Thank you, uncle. I'm just tired from walking. I feel a little wronged to be stared at like that. Being a waiter is not easy. I won't say anything."

"Hey, you are such a good girl! Drink some tea first, and be careful not to burn yourself!"

The two were chatting here when a middle-aged man in his forties came in. The waiter came forward and saluted: "The shopkeeper is back?"

"Well, are all the goods from Mr. Chen's family ready?"

"Everything else is ready, except for the Ganoderma lucidum! It's not even June yet, this year's harvest hasn't come down yet, and last year's harvest has almost been harvested. Look at this..."

"Hey! If it doesn't work, I can only go to the herbal medicine store to buy the goods. I'll pay the loss!"

"Excuse me! Is this the shopkeeper? I just heard you say you wanted Ganoderma lucidum? We have it in our village! How much do you want?"

"Who is this?" Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the waiter.

The waiter said quickly, "To answer the shopkeeper, this customer is from Xianhe Village, and the village chief asked her to come and ask how to buy mountain products! I asked her to take a rest first, and she didn't have time to ask what mountain products there were!"

"Oh, please wait, sir. I am sorry for being rude. Please take a rest first. We can talk later." Shopkeeper Zhang did not look at Bai Tieying strangely because of her age and clothing. Instead, he gestured for her to sit down and relax.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Zhang! My name is Bai Tieying, and I'm ten years old. I came to the city to visit my relatives, and the village chief asked me to ask how to collect mountain products. I just heard your conversation and asked a question, so please don't mind, Shopkeeper!"

"No, no, if your village has Ganoderma lucidum for sale it would solve my urgent need. I can't thank you enough, how could you be offended! But there is no rush for this matter, you take a break and we can talk about it later." Shopkeeper Zhang sat down on the other side of the table, and the waiter brought him a bowl of hot tea.

"I've been resting for a long time. Let's get down to business first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll forget what the village chief told me to do!" Bai Tieying joked with Shopkeeper Zhang.

She had come all the way here, how could she have forgotten in such a short while? Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but laugh. This little girl looked smart and articulate. It would be great if his daughter could be as lively as her!

Bai Tieying didn't know that she had accidentally become the "child of other people's families" again. She bent down to take out a Ganoderma lucidum from her backpack and put it on the table. This time she couldn't make the same mistake as in the morning. After picking it, she put it in the yard to dry for a while, making it seem like she had picked it more than half a year before taking it out of the space.

"This Ganoderma lucidum umbrella has already bloomed. It was picked after the frost last year. It is red with a slight purple hue, the fan is round and the flesh is thick, the handle is short and thick, and there is no white or dust. It is a top-grade Ganoderma lucidum." Shopkeeper Zhang reported the products faster and faster. It sounded very satisfied and even a little surprised.

"Miss Bai, can all the Ganoderma lucidum in your village reach this level?"

"The village chief said that all annual Ganoderma lucidum are picked according to this standard, but the sizes are slightly different."

"That's natural. Ganoderma lucidum is a spiritual creature from nature, so it's impossible for them to be the same size. But... from what you said, are there any from other years?"
