Chapter 18 Buying a Horse, Encountering a Snake
"Yes, does your shop accept them?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask the manager."
Du Mingxian stood and waited. After a while, a waiter and a man who looked like a manager came out together. The manager asked, "Your things?"
"Yes."
"We don't buy those, but if you have any unthreshed grains you want to sell, we can buy some, but I don't know how much?"
Seeing his expression, Du Mingxian knew that the shopkeeper was a meticulous person. "We can sell flour that hasn't been threshed, but the flour you thresh yourself is the same as what you're selling now, yellowish and slightly black, not particularly white."
"Then what are you doing?"
"It's not the wheat that's the problem, it's the threshing process," Du Mingxian said frankly. "I know the shopkeeper is being cautious, but if he doesn't want to accept it, then so be it."
The shopkeeper asked, "Could you tell us where you live and where you're from? How can we contact you? And what if there's a problem with the flour you provide?"
“The products we sell in our shop are all from long-term partners. Even if there are problems, we can find the right person, right? But we know nothing about you, so we dare not accept them.”
Du Mingxian realized she must have acted impulsively. "It's alright. It was right for the shopkeeper not to accept it. We can cooperate again in the future."
"Since you've found such a good product, the shopkeeper must want to make a sale. Just tell me some basic information, and we'll take your flour."
Du Mingxian shook her head. She had only just entered the Du family and didn't know what would happen next. She couldn't let anyone find out.
Furthermore… Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, Ling Silang is a scholar. If her business dealings are discovered, it will affect his career and reputation. Therefore, the shopkeeper must not reveal the Ling family's address.
"I don't have a place to stay in town right now. I'll let you know as soon as I find a place to stay."
Seeing that he couldn't accept the good stuff, the shopkeeper was quite disappointed. "Miss, if you just let me know your name and where you live, I will accept this flour. Why won't you say a word?"
Du Mingxian turned to look at him, "It's inconvenient."
If she weren't short of money, why would she bother to sell this?
After going around in circles, she went to the restaurant in town and got flour again.
The restaurant owner was more shrewd than the grain shop owner: "How much do you have?"
"Five hundred catties."
"Okay, but I need to have a doctor check these flours to see if there's anything wrong with them, is that alright?"
Du Mingxian readily agreed, “No problem, but my noodles are very fine, much better than those in the grain shop. They cost 35 coins in the grain shop, but I want 50.”
The shopkeeper felt it was a bit expensive, but considering that such good noodles could be made into dishes in their restaurant and sold for several times the price, he said, "Okay, no problem."
"The goods are in the woods outside the town. Shopkeeper, send a helper to fetch them. I can't carry them by myself."
"it is good."
Du Mingxian made an agreement with the shopkeeper and left first to quickly go to the woods to get the flour. Soon after, two waiters from the restaurant arrived.
The flour was brought back to the restaurant, and the doctor arrived as well. After examining the patient, he found no problems.
The shopkeeper was very happy, "Your flour is more expensive than everyone else's."
Good things are naturally expensive.
"Okay, if you have any more of these good products in the future, please send them over."
"make a deal."
Five hundred catties, fifty coins per catty, a total of twenty-five taels were sold.
Du Mingxian received two taels as dowry, and later Ling's mother gave her twenty taels as compensation from the Du family, plus today's twenty-five taels, for a total of forty-seven taels.
With the silver in hand, she went to the livestock farm immediately, found a horse dealer, and bought a horse.
Horses were very valuable in this dynasty, costing around 35 taels each. Older horses and younger horses were relatively cheaper. Du Mingxian chose a younger horse because buying this horse was something she couldn't do openly, and it cost her 31 taels.
Even this was the price she negotiated with the horse dealer until she was hoarse, and in the end, she shamelessly asked the horse dealer to give her an extremely old saddle.
After leaving the town, she rode her pony at full speed for a while and felt great. When she was almost at Dahe Village, she put the pony into her spatial storage and let it graze there while she went up the mountain.
She had dug up some wild vegetables on the mountain and was about to head back when she encountered a snake as thick as an adult's arm. Almost instinctively, she immediately took out a gun from her spatial storage and shot it in the head.
After she finished firing, she realized that this was ancient times, and guns were something that couldn't be exposed to the light of day. Fortunately, her gun had a silencer on the muzzle.
He put the snake into his basket and was about to leave when he felt something was wrong. He turned back, parted the grass on the ground, and saw red berries... ginseng.
She wasn't excited.
She was excited.
She quickly took a red rope from her spatial storage and tied the ginseng up. Before digging it up, she also poured some more spiritual spring water on it. When it was almost ready, she carefully dug it up.
Because the spring water was plentiful and the ginseng was so large, it took her an hour to dig it up.
Once she got her hands on the ginseng, which was as plump as a radish, Du Mingxian realized that she had been careless and had poured too much spiritual spring water on it.
After carefully storing the ginseng and throwing the ginseng seeds into her spatial storage, she headed home.
This area is usually deserted, so she really hit the jackpot.
She first went to the river to remove the bullet from the snake's head and cleaned away the blood before heading home.
Before she even reached her doorstep, she saw Ling Silang in the village. Upon seeing her, he strode closer.
"Did you get lost in the mountains?"
Ling Silang looked worried, and Du Mingxian explained apologetically, "We didn't get lost, but something came up. Let's talk about it when we get home."
The two walked back together and encountered some villagers. The villagers looked at them with ambiguous eyes. Ling Silang blushed silently, but Du Mingxian was not embarrassed at all.
Upon returning home, Zhou was the first to rush out, saying, "Oh dear, fourth sister-in-law, please don't go into the mountains again. You never come back, it really worries us."
"I encountered something on the mountain, so I came back a little later."
Upon hearing the name, Zhou assumed it was another pheasant or rabbit and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "I know you're lucky, Fourth Sister-in-law. Quickly put down the basket; it's so heavy!"
Because the snake had been washed in the back, Du Mingxian covered it with a very thin layer of grass to prevent the villagers from seeing it. When Zhou Shi pulled the basket, the grass tilted, revealing the snake inside.
Zhou didn't see it clearly and even stepped forward to ruffle the grass with her hand, muttering, "What good stuff is this? It feels so slippery, ah..."
Zhou suddenly recognized it as a snake, and screamed in fright. She fell to the ground and crawled two steps away, looking quite comical and pathetic.
Du Mingxian thought that Zhou Shi had taken the basket without putting any force on it. Because Zhou Shi was frightened, she couldn't support the basket and it fell to the ground and tipped over. The snake just slipped out, and everyone saw it clearly.
In the sunlight, the snake gleamed with a cold light, which was very eerie.
The timid children in the family watched from afar, terrified, while the bolder boys even ventured closer.
