Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

She got out of the carriage and handed them two bamboo cups, saying, "Here, have some water."

They drove the mule cart toward Jishetang.

Ashu and Ahua huddled together on the edge, afraid of getting even a little bit dirty. They held steamed buns in one hand and cups in the other, unsure of what to do.

Ashu lowered his head and looked at the water in the bamboo cup, as if he could see his blurred face reflected in it.

His voice was a little hoarse. "Ahua, drink up." Then he took a small sip himself.

The water in the cup was still steaming.

The sun high in the sky is so bright it's blinding; the warm water makes you sweat profusely...

But it was as if he had drunk a warm, sweet soup in a cold, dark alley.

This time he didn't say "thank you, miss" again.

He took a big bite of the steamed bun, chewed it with all his might, and finally swallowed it, the salty liquid on his face mixed with the saliva.

Ahua, standing beside her, also carefully took a sip of water, then whispered:

"Brother, we're not hungry today, don't cry."

"Ah."

Lin Lanshan heard it clearly, but said nothing, focusing on holding the reins and driving slowly forward in the middle of the street.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Chunyi, after separating from her sister, ignored the long queue and entered Jishetang.

She didn't queue up!

It's not that she's low-class, it's just that she came to do business with Jishetang and was bringing good things. Why would she join the queue for medical treatment?

Lin Chunyi entered the clinic and went straight to the counter to find the shopkeeper who was handling the billing and collecting money.

Then, looking around, and seeing no one nearby, he whispered, "Shopkeeper, I have a ginseng root here, would you buy it?"

The shopkeeper looked surprised and anxious. He didn't care that she had such an ugly male face; he spoke in the words of a young woman.

He handed the rest of the work to the guy next to him and then walked out.

"Miss, do you have your things on you?"

"Yes, I'm here." How can she sell it if she doesn't bring it?

The shopkeeper gestured for her to come in, saying, "Miss, please come with me to the backyard to discuss this further."

Lin Chunyi ignored the many people staring at her curiously and followed them without looking to the side.

The hall in the backyard of Jishetang.

Lin Chunyi sat down in a chair, took out the cloth bag from her basket, and spread it out on the table.

The shopkeeper carefully lifted the ginseng and examined its roots and textures closely.

"What do you call a girl?"

"My surname is Lin. Shopkeeper, what do you think of this ginseng?"

"My surname is Yang, Miss Lin, you can just call me Manager Yang. This ginseng looks really good."

It's a pity it's still a few years away from twenty years; if it had been dug later, the price would definitely be very different.

"..." She thought the ginseng had grown for at most seven or eight years.

It's been more than ten years? Aren't fourth-grade leaves supposed to take five to ten years?

Although inwardly shocked, his expression remained remarkably calm.

"Manager Yang, I trust Jishetang. Just name your price."

"One hundred and fifty taels."

Lin Chunyi stood up and asked, "Manager Yang, how much do you want?"

Manager Yang, thinking she was dissatisfied with the price, frowned slightly and said again:

“Miss Lin, this ginseng is not very old, so I can only give you one hundred and fifty taels.”

Lin Chunyi was engrossed in the 150 taels of silver.

She didn't really understand how useful a ginseng that was over ten years old was, but she and her sister could earn 150 taels of silver by digging up a ginseng root in the mountains!

No wonder in time-travel novels, the protagonist always has to go into the mountains to find ginseng...

Seeing that she remained silent, Manager Yang remembered that they didn't have much ginseng left in their shop.

"How about this, I'll give you an extra ten taels at most! One hundred and sixty taels. If Miss Lin agrees, I'll go get the money right now."

Lin Chunyi snapped out of her daze. "Okay, deal! Manager Yang, could you prescribe a few more doses of medicine to relieve the heat? This weather is unbearable..."

After exchanging money and receiving the goods, she shamelessly asked the shopkeeper how to inspect and harvest precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and lingzhi.

The red berries on the ginseng are indeed seeds, so let's scatter them when we get back to the mountains.

Lin Chunyi stuffed a bag of silver into her sleeve, then tossed it into her spatial storage before leaving the clinic with three doses of plum juice.

It had only been half an hour since she parted from her sister, so it was still early. She threw the medicine into her basket and then wandered around the neighborhood.

"Boss, two golden beef patties, please!" She took a sip of the bayberry juice she had just bought from a bamboo tube.

Then he handed over the copper coin in his hand and received two hot pancakes in return.

"I'll eat one and save one for Lanshan. She'll be so happy to eat beef after all this time!"

Take a bite of the flatbread, and with two crispy crunches, the crumbs fall off. Inside is fragrant beef—it's delicious!

Lin Lanshan: I don't know if the pancakes I didn't get to eat were any good. But right now, standing in line to buy food, I'm not very happy about it.

……

Lin Chunyi ate and drank, then wandered around. Before long, her basket was filled with delicious food.

She was happily searching around when she was startled by a sudden flying object and quickly took a few steps back to the side.

"Luckily, we didn't crash." Then he looked at the ground, where two small black puddles were already starting to dry.

Damn it, I spilled my iced drink!

Lin Chunyi raised her head and glared at the thing that had flown over from the ground... It didn't seem like a thing, no, it seemed like a person?

The clothes he was wearing looked quite high-quality, but they were tattered and dirty, as if they had been torn. Was he a beggar?

The beggar was quickly surrounded by people, and she didn't even have time to get out. She could only stand in the inner circle and was forced to watch along with them.

"Yang Yu, do you still think you're the second young master of the Yang family? It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you, so don't push your luck!"

A woman with an arrogant tone and a slightly plump figure walked over, surrounded by several maids and servants.

"Waaah...waaah...don't hit me, it hurts so much! I'll never do it again!" The beggar on the ground suddenly sat down and started wailing loudly.

Judging from the voice alone, without listening to the content, he should be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man with a gentle and refined appearance.

Lin Chunyi stared in disbelief at the beggar, then at the woman in front of him who looked to be around thirty years old.

Take another look at those sitting... then another look at those standing...

Her eyes and mind were a little confused. This woman wasn't bad-looking, so why was she forcing a fool on her?

This beggar seems to be less than five years old in terms of mental age. Was his clothing torn by this woman?

My God, they didn't even wash it? That's...that's really disgusting!

While she was frantically thinking in her head, the other onlookers couldn't help but open their mouths in amazement.

An old man exclaimed, "What a tragedy! This child isn't even mentally sound, and you're still forcing him? Have you no conscience?!"

Whispers arose from those around them, "Old man, keep your voice down, this woman is not to be trifled with! She's Qian Yujiao, the younger sister of Qian, the registrar of our county office!"
