Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

Chapter 18: Medicine Money for Food

On the mountain, the "stalkers" from Dashi Village and Xiaoshi Village would see what Liujia Village was doing and would run to their own village chief to "snitch" it.

Seeing them using water bags to store water, they also used water bags to store water.

Seeing people picking herbs in Liujia Village, they ran over to identify them secretly. Liu Yang, the team leader, didn't say anything. He even gave them guidance when they didn't understand.

After all, medicinal herbs are related to human lives and cannot be handled carelessly. I heard this from my eldest sister, who predicted their actions.

They are all from neighboring villages and are all poor farmers. As long as they don't harm anyone, it's nothing.

The mountain belongs to the public. Whether you can get it or not depends on your ability.

The "crawler" saw them chopping wood and came to ask again. After asking around, he found the home of the Li Dazhu brothers in Xiaoshi Village that evening and left as if he had realized something.

Many families went to the mountains to cut down trees the next day. The people of Dashi Village and Xiaoshi Village felt that the recent actions of Liujia Village, the smallest of the three villages, revealed a "secret" that they were not aware of.

But as long as they can have food and drink and earn money without endangering themselves, they are very happy to learn from Liujia Village.

That night, Li Dazhu and his brother said they couldn't have dinner at their house no matter what. Liu Yuhan asked his mother to pack five steamed buns and five dumplings for each of them and take them back to his wife and children.

The two brothers did not ask for payment for their work, but since this was a village affair, it was impossible to calculate it that way. When the time came, they would use the medicinal herbs sold in the village to give the two brothers a small amount of money, ten cents per day, as a token of their wages.

The medicinal materials were picked, dried and processed at the same time. For the dried ones, Liu would come forward and teach them how to cut and re-dry them according to Liu Yuhan's requirements.

Day after day, Liu Yuhan would cook for her family whenever she had time during the day. She would make a lot of buns and steamed buns and put them in the space.

She was busy reading and resting in the space at night. Two days ago, she had taken time to go to the town and spent five taels of silver to buy several books about this dynasty.

During the Nanlin Dynasty, there were the Xiongnu in the north, the rising southern Xinjiang, and the Japanese pirates in the south. The country was not peaceful, and wars of all sizes were constant, especially in the cold winter months when supplies were scarce. The Xiongnu in the north would often invade at this time to steal supplies and women.

The Japanese pirates in the south were even worse. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. They raped and killed women, and spared no one, including the elderly and children. Their killing methods were appalling. The people hated the Japanese pirates so much!

Fortunately, the Nanlin Dynasty had two great generals: General Qi and General He in the north, and General Huo in the south. Most of the men in the Qi and He armies were tall and strong, and they were good at riding and martial arts.

The Huo family army in the south excelled at water attacks and guerrilla warfare. While the people of the Southern Lin Dynasty might not know who the emperor was, the Huo, He, and Qi family armies were like gods in the hearts of the common people.

Liu Yuhan took over all three bun shops in the town that day and also found a deserted place to put them in the space.

I saw someone selling eggs, so I bought some and put them in my account. In short, I just do whatever I want, buying whatever I see. I used to sell bracelets for 100, but now I’ve spent nearly 20 taels on cloth, meat, school buns, etc.

Liu Yuhan dressed the same as last time, covered her face with a scarf, and went to the silver shop to find the owner.

The shopkeeper was very happy to see her. Two days ago, a wealthy man came to the county town. The shopkeeper showed him the bracelet and he bought it without saying a word. The shopkeeper made an extra profit of 100 taels by reselling it.

So when he saw Liu Yuhan coming, it was as if he saw the God of Wealth waving to him.

The shopkeeper invited her to the backyard, and Liu Yuhan said the same thing again, and took out two ancient bracelets, one ancient gold bracelet, and two silver bracelets. Both were relatively thin, 20 grams, and were bought at a special price of 100 yuan each.

Speaking of this gold bracelet, Liu Yuhan was speechless.

This was given to her by a fat rich second-generation man when she was in college. He said that Liu Yuhan was smart and beautiful, and kept saying that he wanted to marry her so as to change the genes of his offspring.

He waited for her at the school gate every day and gave her flowers, and the whole school knew about it.

Liu Yuhan had always been indifferent to him. This matter reached the principal, who approached Liu Yuhan and asked him to be more tolerant. The reason was that the rich second-generation's parents had donated a large sum of money to the school because their son was in the school and because their son liked a girl there!

Finally, Liu Yuhan had no choice but to find the parents of the rich second generation in private and analyze with them the three main reasons why it was impossible for her to marry him. The parents of the rich second generation could not refute even one of the reasons. What should she do if she can't argue with them?

Liu Yuhan also sincerely stated that she did not want to hurt her rich second-generation classmates, etc.

In the end, the rich second generation's parents took the rich second generation who was on hunger strike to study abroad and ended the farce.

As soon as the rich second generation got on the plane, he asked someone to give her a package with four words written on a note inside: My heart remains the same.

In addition to the letter, the package also contained a large amount of hardware jewelry! Gold rings, gold earrings, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold bracelets.

Liu Yuhan looked for the person but to no avail, so he could only accept it temporarily and kept it in a corner of the space. He only found it when he was tidying up things.

The gold bracelet Liu Yuhan gave to the shopkeeper was a 100-gram, ancient gold bracelet that nearly blinded the shopkeeper. With a trembling heart, the shopkeeper asked Liu Yuhan to make an offer.

In this dynasty, one liang was equal to approximately 14 grams. This 100-gram ancient gold bracelet weighed seven liang. One liang of gold was equal to approximately 10 liang of silver. These seven liang of gold could be converted into 140 liang of silver.

But buying something is buying technology. How many people in the world can look at this ancient technology?

Liu Yuhan hesitated for a moment, and just like last time, stretched out a finger.

"What?! 1000 taels! No way, absolutely no way!"

Liu Yuhan...

"Buy one, get two free. Please consider it, boss. Otherwise, I can only go to the county town. If you are not in a hurry to get rid of it, the owner will not offer this price. This is passed down from my ancestors' ancestors, even if you pay ten thousand taels of silver, it is worth it."

Shopkeeper...

Liu Yuhan looked at the 1000 taels in the space and smiled. Liu Yuhan only wanted silver ingots, not silver notes, which made the shopkeeper very upset.

The road ahead will definitely be bumpy. What's the use of silver notes? If there is a sudden change of dynasty, the silver notes will be useless. Silver ingots are better.

There were ingots of 10 liang, 20 liang, and 50 liang, scattered here and there. It was such a big basket that I couldn't even lift it without putting it in the space.

I am full of gratitude towards the rich second generation Xiaopang. I thank the rich second generation and thank the rich second generation's parents for making him a rich second generation.

After taking medicine for 7 consecutive days, Xu Fugui's foot has recovered a lot and he can barely walk.

Old Xu, no longer needed to take care of him, joined the villagers in their work. Their family had the least food and water stored, and although there were only the two of them, they still had to prepare what they needed.

Day after day, the medicinal yam was almost gone. Finally, the Liu family was quiet.

Tomorrow I will sell all the medicinal herbs in the village and from my own home. Some of them have not been dried, so I will sort them, pack them and sell them.

Liu Yuhan counted the days and was afraid that something unexpected would happen prematurely. The key was to quickly let the villagers get some money to stock up on food and buy what they needed.

At 5: AM, the village chief drove his family's ox cart, the only one in the village, with medicinal herbs on it.

Liu Shinan, Liu Yuhan, Liu, the village chief's wife Yan, Liu Zhuang, two strong young men in the village, except Liu Yuhan and Liu, Yan carried a backpack, and the others pushed a wheelbarrow, and they set off together towards the town.

After selling the medicinal herbs, I will buy the things I need and have listed the names.

The village chief also had a purse sewn into his clothes, which contained a piece of paper and some silver. These were the things that each family needed to bring, as well as the silver they had saved before.

The weather was getting increasingly dry; not a drop of rain had fallen for six months. Even the wells in the mountains, where water was usually stored, only had a trickle of water left. The wells had dried up, and soon there would be no water at all. People were in a panic, and they hurried along without saying a word.

How terrible it would have been if they hadn't bought water bags to stock up on water some time ago. Now they dare not waste a drop of water except for drinking.

I'm afraid things are going to change today.

When they arrived in town, the atmosphere became even more desolate. They went straight to the pharmacy. Doctor Liu was kind and didn't say much when he saw they brought some undried herbs.

After checking, I found that there was no problem with the quality, so I accepted them all.

The village received twelve taels of silver, and Liu Yuhan's family received five. Liu Yuhan had them buy some typhoid fever herbs, spending two taels. The village chief clutched the money tightly, wondering how much grain he could buy.

Before Liu Yuhan left, he hinted to Doctor Liu and asked him to make preparations early. It is unknown what he thought afterwards.

Doctor Liu is a medical practitioner. It would be great if I could follow him to escape the famine and learn some Chinese medicine from him.

Speaking of Doctor Liu, he was born and raised in Shitou Town. But his father was not. His father was a doctor from the capital with excellent medical skills.

No matter how hard Dr. Liu tried, he could only learn 80% of what his father had. Dr. Liu never married and devoted himself to studying medicine, a medical enthusiast.
