Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

"How much does this bamboo basket cost?" Many viewers widened their eyes and stared at Shen Li, waiting for her to give an answer.

Shen Li seemed calm and collected. She picked up the bamboo basket without any haste.

While gesturing, he said, "Fellow villagers, please take a closer look at the workmanship of our bamboo baskets. They are all made of real materials."

"These bamboo strips have been carefully selected, and each one is full of craftsmanship."

"Do you think such a fine bamboo basket must be expensive? No, no, no, today is a great opportunity!"

"Such a good bamboo basket, we don't want 20 wen. Does this price sound like a good deal to you?"

"But it's more than that. We don't want 15 cents either."

"Perhaps you think ten cents is cheap enough?"

"Hey, today it's not even 10 cents, only 8 cents!" "For only 8 cents, you can take this exquisite big bamboo basket home."

"And, there's an extra surprise today!"

"As long as you buy a bamboo basket, we will also give you a pair of fine straw sandals for free!"

"The quality of these straw sandals is also top-notch, but the quantity is limited, so it's first come, first served!"

Before she finished her words, the crowd around her suddenly surged over like a tide.

An old man yelled at the top of his lungs, "Bring me two bamboo baskets! According to what you said, shouldn't you give me two pairs of straw sandals?"

Shen Li shouted crisply: "That's right, this uncle!"

An auntie next to her was not to be outdone and quickly shouted, "Give me two too! Hurry up and give them to me quickly!"

Shen Li was very busy. She took the bamboo baskets for them and carefully put the straw sandals into the baskets.

Meanwhile, Shen Shaodong was frantically collecting coins. A bit slow, he was scolded by an impatient woman, "Why are you so slow collecting money? You're worse than a kid!"

Before long, all the bamboo baskets were sold out and all the straw sandals were given away.

However, three bamboo baskets were sold separately at the price of 7 cents each, and the bundles of vegetables they brought were given away as a gift. They were not worth much anyway, and one cent could buy three bundles. With both buying and giving away free vegetables, both the buyer and the seller were happy!

Shen Li's face was filled with a happy smile, and he said cheerfully: "This is only one-third of my strength. Hehe, the total number of copper coins I got is 141."

After hearing this, Shen Shaodong looked at the cheerful Shen Li with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

I thought to myself: Shen Dalang, this girl, must be up to something.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a moment.

Since he couldn't remember, he simply stopped thinking about it. After all, she was his daughter.

So he began to pack up the two bamboo baskets he brought. Now there were only herbs left in the baskets, and hidden under the herbs were ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum.

He asked tentatively, "Li'er, how about you sell these things too? Daddy's afraid he'll lose money."

When Shen Li heard this, she puffed out her chest, looked smug, and said, "Leave it to me!"

There's only one pharmacy in this town, and it's a combined medical consultation and prescription pharmacy. Even if you want to get your medicine elsewhere, you won't be able to find it.

After walking for a while, the father and daughter arrived at the pharmacy.

There were three big characters "Hui Chun Tang" written on the sign of the medicine shop, and a medicine boy came out to greet them.

He asked, "Are you two here to see a doctor or get medicine?" Shen Li said first, "Please, doctor, please examine my father."

Just as Shen Shaodong was about to speak, he was stopped by a look from Shen Li.

At this time, the medicine boy had already invited the doctor out. The doctor gestured for Shen Shaodong to sit down, and then said, "Stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse."

The doctor took the patient's pulse with his left hand for a while, then switched to his right hand.

After a brief thought, he said, "When you came to get bandaged last time, I felt that you were a little weak, so I added some tonic medicine to the soup."

"It seems that your injuries are almost healed now. I didn't expect you to recover so quickly!"

"You won't need to take medicine this time. Just eat more nutritious food and take good care of your body when you go back."

Shen Li watched the doctor's behavior from the side and thought to herself, "This doctor looks quite reliable. He's a good person!"

She quickly brought the bamboo basket to her and said, "Doctor, please take a look at these herbs."

Doctor Li took the bamboo basket and began to look through it carefully. When he got to the bottom of the bamboo basket, he subconsciously grabbed his beard.

This tug was terrible. He grimaced in pain, stared at Shen Li, and said, "Come to the backyard!"

Shen Shaodong and Shen Li hurriedly followed with their heads lowered.

Doctor Li carefully took out the ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, glared at Shen Li again, and said, "It's a good thing I didn't pull it hard. If the ginseng roots were broken, it would affect the appearance, but it would be worthless."
