He looked up at Lin Qingxue and whispered, "My lady, you are joking. Please wait here for a moment. I will call the shopkeeper over."

Soon, the shopkeeper came over. He nodded at Lin Qingxue and said with a smile, "Madam, these two ginsengs are quite old. Are you sure you want to sell them?"

"Sell it. We don't know how to prepare it. If we keep it for a long time, the medicinal properties will be lost. So we won't bring it to you. In addition, I want to buy a few young and well-prepared ginseng to take back to nourish the elderly and children at home."

Lin Qingxue smiled and said seriously that not only did she have a few small ginseng plants in her space, she could also continue to grow ginseng in the future.

"My lady, your opinion is excellent. In that case, I will discuss this with you. Both of your ginsengs are over a hundred years old. The smaller one is a little over a hundred years old, and the larger one is about a hundred and fifty years old. How about this! My lady, you can accept a small loss. I will exchange five twenty-year-old ginsengs and five fifty-year-old ginsengs for your hundred-year-old ginseng. I will also buy the other one, a hundred and fifty years old, for one thousand five hundred taels of silver. How do you think?"

The shopkeeper identified the age of the two ginsengs and confirmed that Lin Qingxue really wanted to sell them, so he came up with a compromise. Although the number of ginsengs he gave was large, the value of ginsengs with older years was completely different.

Therefore, Lin Qingxue did suffer a loss in this transaction.

But she also got what she wanted in exchange, so it wasn't too bad.

"Okay, I also want to sell these wolfberries and Polygonum multiflorum. Boss, please calculate the price for them," Lin Qingxue agreed without much thought.

The Lin family is currently short of many things. In addition to silver, they also need some daily necessities, clothes, etc.

Silver is the most scarce commodity, because without enough silver, many things cannot go smoothly.

Fortunately, there are sufficient resources in the space for breeding and planting, which makes Lin Qingxue full of confidence in the future.

Lin Qingxue is not too worried about the supply of food and vegetables. As long as she makes good use of the resources in the space and grows various crops and vegetables, she can meet the needs of her family.

But the problem of money has always troubled her. After all, if she wants to improve her family life, she must have enough money to buy the necessary things.

Seeing that Lin Qingxue agreed, the shopkeeper was overjoyed. He quickly asked his waiter to calculate the money for Lin Qingxue and the others, and then he hurried to the backyard to get the banknotes.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out with a stack of banknotes and handed it to Lin Qingxue.

Looking at the banknotes in her hand, Lin Qingxue felt much more at ease. This money would help her solve her family's financial difficulties.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind to work hard to make money so that her family could live a better life.

"Madam, your Polygonum multiflorum is also aged, so the price will be slightly higher, 56 taels of silver. And the wolfberry is also of good quality, 31 taels of silver. Adding it all together, the total is 87 taels of silver."

The waiter calculated the bill quickly. He skillfully weighed the wolfberries and Polygonum multiflorum and quickly calculated the price. At the same time, the shopkeeper came over with the banknote.

"Let's round it up for you! Let's say it's ninety taels of silver. Here's a note for fifteen hundred taels."

The shopkeeper handed the silver note to Lin Qingxue with a smile, and then the waiter took out a silver note for fifty taels and forty taels of silver and handed them over.

"Okay, thank you very much, shopkeeper. We still have things to buy, so we'll leave first," Lin Qingxue smiled and collected the silver and banknotes. She put the banknotes directly into the space, put the silver in the basket behind her, and then put it into the space.

"Goodbye, I'll send you good things next time. Madam, let me remind you that the city is not peaceful, so you'd better not come here recently. Buy more food and hide it if you have nothing to do," the shopkeeper turned his head to look around, and whispered to Lin Qingxue.

Lin Qingxue nodded, smiled gratefully at the shopkeeper, and then left the clinic with Uncle Lin and Lin Qingran.

"Uncle, here are fifteen taels of silver. You and your eldest brother can go buy a donkey cart! My third brother and I will go buy some food. You can just come find us at the food store later."

Lin Qingxue saw that it was getting late, and since there were four of them, they thought of splitting up into groups of two so that they could go home earlier.

"Okay, third brother, take good care of your sister." Uncle Lin knew that what his niece said made sense, so he naturally would not refuse this proposal.

Uncle Lin took the silver and walked with Lin Qingming to buy the money on a donkey cart. Lin Qingran and his sister drove the donkey cart towards the grain store. The price of grain was rising sharply, and they were afraid that if they were late, they would not be able to buy grain.

When they arrived at the grain shop, Lin Qingran stayed on the donkey cart to guard it, while Lin Qingxue went into the grain shop alone. Seeing that there was only a small amount of each kind of grain, she felt a thud in her heart and knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Brother Xiaoer, are all the food in your store here?" Lin Qingxue looked at the food with a bad face, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

"There's more in the backyard. The food just arrived and hasn't been put in yet. How much food do you want, madam?" The waiter smiled and shook his head. How could there be only this little food in the shop? It was just that they had just sent away a wave of customers and hadn't had time to restock.

Lin Qingxue didn't reply. She looked at the price of each type of food and said loudly, "Five hundred catties of dark flour, two hundred catties of corn flour, fifty catties of white flour, five hundred catties of brown rice, five hundred catties of aged rice, and five hundred catties of polished japonica rice."

"Okay, you want a lot, you'll have to wait a while," the waiter didn't ask why he wanted to buy so much. Many people have been stockpiling food during this period, and he was no longer surprised.

"Okay, I'll wait for you," Lin Qingxue nodded, and she consciously found a stool to sit down and wait.

After waiting for about half an hour, the waiter finally weighed the food that Lin Qingxue ordered. Just as she was about to pay, Uncle Lin and his son came over.

"Qingxue, have you bought it?" Uncle Lin went straight to Lin Qingxue as soon as he came in and asked with a smile.

"Okay, uncle, you and brother move the food onto the car first. I'm preparing to pay the money now," Lin Qingxue said as he tapped the silver in his hand.

"Okay! Then let's move the food first," Uncle Lin responded, and then he and Lin Dashan moved the food into the car together.

After Lin Qingxue paid the money, she originally planned to help move the food, but would Uncle Lin and the others let her?

Definitely not. They asked Lin Qingxue to guard the food outside and called Lin Qingran over to move it. The four grown men ran seven or eight times and finally moved all the food onto the donkey cart.

After moving the grain, everyone felt tired, but when they saw the donkey cart full of grain, they felt extremely satisfied. This grain was the source of survival for the whole family.
