Chapter 5: Cultural Treasures, There's Really Something to Save!
There were also some loose silver coins, gold ingots without official marks, pearls, necklaces of unknown materials, hairpins, hair ornaments, and a box of hair ornaments... and finally, a few books.
She picked up one of the books and was so shocked by the title that her mouth dropped open.
The Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica!
These are medical works that have long been lost in history. She continued reading, and the second book was actually the "Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion", the third was the "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces", the fourth was the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and the fifth was the "Pulse Classic".
Modern medical classics have all been re-edited, and many are incomplete, but these are complete. Surely all five are original editions?
Those things are priceless treasures.
She's even thinking of wearing gloves like that antique shop owner now... What should she do with this thing? Donate it to the government... Which organization would be the most reliable to donate it to?
The main problem is that if she's the one making the donation, others probably won't believe her.
She'd come up with an idea. She could take one to the police station first and see if it made a splash. If it was just treated as junk, she could post a few articles online. Eventually, someone who knew its value would come to her.
As for all these antiques I have, I'll pick one of each tomorrow and sell them at different antique shops. That way, they won't attract attention.
Gu Xixi has limited brainpower, and this is the safest way she can think of to handle the situation.
So she picked up a gold ingot, some loose silver, a hairpin, a hair ornament, a vase, and a painting, packed them into her suitcase, and put everything else into the tatami compartment.
After coming out, I immediately sent the list I had prepared to Uncle Wang via Green Bubble, hoping that he could prepare in advance. However, less than a minute after sending it, the other side called.
"Xiaoxi, did you forget to put the decimal point in the quantity you purchased? You only took 3000 jin today, which should be enough to sell for a month. Now you need 20000 jin in total. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Uncle Wang thought that the child had just taken over the supermarket, and he also remembered what he read online about how kids like to hoard things, so he wanted to give him some advice.
"Don't stock up too much, or you'll lose money when the price drops."
“Uncle Wang, I know you mean well, but this is from a boss I know. He said he wants to take them to the mountains for charity work. He needs to go to many mountains and he needs this many every day. He has already booked half a month’s worth and paid a deposit. You can rest assured.”
After Gu Xixi finished speaking, Uncle Wang was relieved and kept praising Gu Xixi for her good fortune. Then the purchase price dropped by one cent, and he promised to gather the goods and deliver them tomorrow.
Gu Xixi hung up the phone and started thinking about wholesale medicinal herbs again... Right, she remembered that there was a wholesale medicinal herb shop in the neighborhood behind the original bus station within three kilometers. When she was a child, she would go there to get medicine when she was sick or to buy herbs for making soup. The prices were fair, cheap and the quality was good.
After making arrangements, it was already 6:30. She went downstairs to open the supermarket; opening early meant closing early. Then she would try her luck at a few antique shops, and on her way back, she would visit the herbal medicine shop…
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Xilan County government office.
Shen Qingyan, accompanied by eight constables and a clerk, stared at the 2000 shi of rice and other supplies in front of them for an hour. After confirming that they had not disappeared, everyone was excited.
"It's true, it's true today too, sir, our Xilan County is saved! When will the disaster relief begin?"
“One pound of rice can make porridge for five people. Each person can eat one meal a day and keep their lives. There are 2000 shi of rice here. It can be made into porridge for 15,000 people. But there are also these strange melons. If we cook them all together, the whole county has less than 20,000 people. It will be just enough for one day.”
"Sir, but our county is running out of water. The last few wells that were producing water are almost half empty. We don't know how much longer they can last. Next time, sir, could you ask that Miracle Shop if they sell water?"
……
Everyone chimed in, offering suggestions and pointing out loopholes. Shen Qingyan took notes of everything. Then, as dawn broke, he immediately made a decision: "Start disaster relief immediately. Notify all residents of Xilan County to bring their household registration certificates to the county government to collect their grain according to their population. Distribute it at four different times, one for each of the four parts of the city: west, east, north, and south..."
After he finished making his arrangements, the four constables were extremely excited. Each of them picked up a gong, banged it, and shouted the news as they ran off in four different directions.
The people on the street were already emaciated and withered, lying on one side and on the other, eating dirt and dry grass, barely clinging to life. Hearing the shouts of the constables, they all felt as if they were dreaming.
But the sound echoed throughout the street. They opened their cloudy eyes and said, "You heard it too? Lord Shen is dedicated to the people, so he probably wouldn't be lying to us. Let's not say anything more, let's go and see."
What other options are there besides trying anything as a last resort?
Trusting Shen Qingyan, everyone dragged their weary bodies toward the county government office. From afar, they could see the clerk holding paper and pen, four constables divided into two groups, and a large quantity of white rice laid out in front of them!
"It's true! The righteous official didn't lie to us! It's real rice! We're saved! We're all saved!!"
One of the old men threw his head back and laughed, then cried out. The crowd rushed over, laughing and crying, overjoyed. Shen Qingyan did his best to maintain order, and the news spread like wildfire...
