I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

After leaving Aunt Wang's house, Liu Nanjia went to see Doctor Li.

The main purpose was to tell him the results of his treatment at the town clinic yesterday. Of course, if any villagers went to his clinic for treatment or medicine, he was also asked to help them with the vegetable harvesting.

Upon entering the courtyard, one could see Physician Li processing medicinal herbs.

“Grandpa Li, we went to town yesterday to have Song Chen’s leg checked and we ran into Dr. Bai. He praised you for treating Song Chen very well.”

Although Doctor Bai is much younger than Physician Li, medical skills are not necessarily better just because someone is older.

Moreover, since Doctor Li was a self-taught practitioner, he naturally didn't feel offended by these words; on the contrary, he was quite amused.

"Really? Dr. Bai's medical skills are far superior to mine, so I can rest assured. Song Chen is still so young. What if I didn't diagnose a fracture? Wouldn't that delay his treatment?"

Liu Nanjia, of course, showered him with praise again: "How could that be? If it weren't for you treating his injuries back then, who knows what would have happened to him now. He just wants to recover faster, so he'll go see Doctor Bai for acupuncture in the future and won't get any more medicine from you."

Despite losing a business deal, Dr. Li wasn't upset. In fact, he charged these villagers for medicine at a fraction of the price, and his main income came from processing medicinal herbs.

When Liu Nanjia saw the medicinal herbs in his yard, her eyes lit up. She first told him about her plan to sell vegetables in town and asked him to help promote it.

He then asked, "Grandpa Li, when you go to town to sell medicinal herbs, you also see Doctor Bai, right? How often do you go?"

Doctor Li thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the condition of the medicinal herbs we receive. Some herbs can't be stored, so we have to send them over quickly. Their clinic has better storage conditions for medicinal herbs than mine. Why are you asking this, girl?"

Remembering what she had just said about Song Chen frequently visiting Doctor Bai, she understood and chuckled, scolding, "You want to make money off this old man, don't you?"

Liu Nanjia chuckled, "I'm just worried that you're getting old and might get tired from going to town so often. You don't need to give much, just enough for the fare. It doesn't matter who you give it to, and it saves you the trouble of going there."

Li Langzhong thought about it and agreed. The main problem was that the road to town wasn't in good condition. The oxcart ride was bumpy, and his old bones almost fell apart every time.

The key is that he watched the Liu family children grow up, and they are trustworthy people, so he is willing to lend a hand.

He readily agreed: "That's good. Then I'll just sit comfortably at home and let you run errands for me. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses. I'll give you 5 coins for each errand you run for me."

Liu Nanjia was naturally happy; five coins was more than she had initially expected.

Upon returning home, he announced the good news, and Liu Yanxi and Liu Sirou were overjoyed.

The more ways to make money, the better.

Then, Liu Nanjia began to think about how to store the eggs. The oxcart was not very stable, and if she didn't protect the eggs properly, many of them would probably break before she even reached town, and then she would probably lose all the money she made from collecting eggs.

In later generations, eggs were sold in egg cartons, but what can be used to replace them now?

Liu Yanxi saw her wandering around in the courtyard and asked her what she was doing. Liu Nanjia told him what she was thinking about, and Liu Yanxi started thinking about it too.

Finally, when thinking about baldness, the only thing that came to mind was to use straw, layering it thickly in the basket.

Just then, they saw a woman peering out of their courtyard gate, seemingly wanting to come in.

Liu Nanjia walked over and asked, "Auntie, is something the matter?"

The woman, carrying a basket, said, "I heard you collect eggs here? Is that true?"

Someone's here already?

Liu Nanjia immediately welcomed her into the courtyard and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, we really do want to buy eggs. How many do you plan to sell?"

“I have 10 here.”

“That’s 8 coins.” With that, Liu Nanjia took out his small purse and counted out 8 coins.

When the woman saw that she was indeed being paid, she took the eggs out of the basket, and the transaction was completed. She left happily.

Liu Nanjia warmly saw her out: "We also buy vegetables. If you have any leftover vegetables at home, bring them over early the day after tomorrow. 2 coins for 3 catties, as long as they are fresh, we will buy them."

After the woman sold all her eggs, other onlookers, seeing that they could get the money right away, came one after another, mostly buying 5 or 10 eggs.

Over the course of two days, we managed to collect 4 or 50.

The day to go to town arrived quickly. The whole family went out again today because Song Chen still couldn't walk on his own and needed Liu Yanxi's help.

Before dawn, Aunt Wang arrived with her vegetables. After arriving, she didn't leave immediately but helped Liu Nanjia collect vegetables delivered by others.

Some people brought vegetables that weren't very good, with wormholes or something, but Aunt Wang refused them without hesitation. She was mainly afraid that someone in the village would bully Liu Nanjia, a young girl, and force her to buy vegetables that weren't fresh.

Liu Nanjia was very grateful, but time was tight in the morning, so he didn't say much. The family quickly ate a few bites of breakfast and then took Uncle Liu's oxcart to town.

Upon arriving in town, Song Chen was left alone at the clinic, while the others went to the market. They bought a stall for 5 coins and started hawking their wares like the vendors next to them: "Selling vegetables! Freshly picked this morning, 1 coin per pound, eggs 1 coin each."

Liu Yanxi wanted to shout too, but his face turned red and he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing him like this, Liu Nanjia couldn't help but laugh and told him not to force himself, and that he could just help collect the money later.

Liu Sirou, however, joined her sister in calling out, "Fresh vegetables and eggs, come and buy!"

The clear, crisp voice of a child was quite rare in the market, and it quickly attracted some women who came to sell vegetables.

They saw that the stall was being sold by three young children. Although their clothes were patched, they looked neat and clean, and the children were all quite good-looking.

When buying food, everyone wants to buy clean food, and seeing that their dishes were indeed good, everyone was willing to buy from them.

Liu Nanjia was naturally delighted and quickly helped these people choose and weigh the vegetables. Liu Yanxi, being educated, was quick at calculating the simple vegetable prices. Liu Sirou guarded the eggs, counting out as many as anyone wanted. The three siblings worked together seamlessly.

Before long, everything we brought today was sold out.

The first time selling vegetables went so smoothly, everyone was very happy. Since it wasn't convenient to count the money here, they decided to do it when they got home.

They bought some food at the market, picked up Song Chen from the clinic, and then took a car home.

Back home, the three of them were still excited and immediately poured out all the money they made that morning to count.

They collected a total of 45 eggs over the past few days, spending 36 coins. Today, 3 eggs broke on the road, and they sold them for 42 coins.

This morning, I bought 51 catties of vegetables for 34 coins each, and sold them for 50 coins each, because some of the vegetable leaves were damaged during transportation.

After deducting costs and stall fees, I made a total of 17 coins.
