Chapter 17 What kind of junk is this?
"Mom, let's go sell wild vegetables and honeysuckle first, you guys go to Baiwei Restaurant..." Tian Tian said.
If you walk straight ahead, you'll find Anhe Pharmacy; if you turn right, you'll find Baiwei Restaurant.
"Sweetie, let's go sell wild vegetables with you first, and then go to the restaurant together." Liu San Niang glanced ahead and saw several people waiting at the entrance of Anhe Pharmacy, who were probably also there to sell medicinal herbs.
She was worried about letting the children go alone if there were too many people.
"It's alright, Auntie, we've already been there last time."
"You'd better hurry to the restaurant. I heard from my older sister that the restaurant only accepts goods for a short period of time, and they won't accept them if you go too late."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Liu San Niang quickly picked up her bamboo basket. "Then...then let's go to Baiwei Restaurant."
"You...you come find us after you've sold everything."
Lu Tao handed the basket to Tian Tian, and she went to the restaurant with Liu San Niang.
This was arranged in advance. Although Liu San Niang had been selling tofu in the county for many years, she had never done business with a restaurant before, and she was also afraid of it, so she asked Lu Tao to accompany her.
Tian Tian brought Da Ya and Tian Jinghe to Anhe Pharmacy.
She winked at Tian Jinghe, "Da Ya, you and Jinghe wait outside. I'll go in and come out right away."
Tian Jinghe immediately understood, grabbed Qin Daya's hand, and nodded repeatedly.
Tian Tian carried a bamboo basket on her back and two bamboo baskets in her hands as she entered Anhe Pharmacy.
Several other farmers were also selling medicinal herbs in the pharmacy.
Tian Tian took a look; it was also a dandelion.
It was washed clean and dried thoroughly.
One pound can be exchanged for one coin.
"Young lady, are you here to sell medicinal herbs too?" The pharmacy clerk came over to greet her.
Tian Tian smiled. With dandelions being sold at such a low price, she definitely wouldn't sell them.
But you can ask about the price of honeysuckle.
"Hey bro, how much do you want for honeysuckle?" Tian Tian pulled out a handful of honeysuckle.
The waiter took it and examined it carefully.
The three of them, Tian Tian, Tian Tian and Tian Tian, picked unopened green flower buds. They were unwashed and intact.
The waiter looked at Tian Tian with surprise, "Little girl, you picked these really well."
"We buy it for twenty coins a catty."
Twenty coins a pound?
The people waiting to sell dandelions nearby immediately looked over.
Some people asked curiously, "Little girl, what are you picking?"
After hearing the price, Tian Tian decided not to sell the goods to them anymore, so there was no conflict between her and the farmers.
She generously took out the honeysuckle and shared a small handful with everyone, saying, "This is called honeysuckle. It grows on the mountain. You can pick it if you come across it."
She carried the bamboo basket and walked outside.
"Hey, little girl, aren't you selling this?" the shopkeeper pressed.
Tian Tian waved her hand, picked up the bamboo basket, and took a few steps to the side. "I'll wait for the adults."
Upon hearing this, the man went to weigh the other people.
Tian Tian noticed that everyone else was busy selling medicinal herbs and no one was paying attention to her.
She accessed the system...
"System detection: Wild honeysuckle, top grade, with fuzz and sulfur-free, 100 wen per jin, totaling 22 jin and 3 liang, totaling 2 liang and 230 wen."
"System detection: Wild dandelion, top grade, whole plant with roots and flowers, naturally sun-dried, fifty cash per catty, totaling seven catties and five taels, totaling three hundred and seventy-five cash."
The contents of the three bamboo baskets vanished into thin air, leaving behind a piece of broken silver and several hundred copper coins.
Tian Tian saved the loose silver coins, carried a bamboo basket containing several hundred copper coins on her back, and carefully squeezed out.
Then, the system's voice appeared again.
"The system meets the upgrade requirements. Upgrade will begin, and is expected to take three hours."
Three hours?
By the time they return to the village, the system upgrade will be complete.
"Hey, little girl, the adults are here?" The waiter saw her walking out.
Tian Tian responded without turning her head.
She grabbed Tian Jinghe and Da Ya, "Come on, let's go find Mother and Aunt."
Daya jogged after her, asking, "Sister Sweetie, how much silver did you get for those medicinal herbs?"
Tian Tian turned her head and whispered in her ear, "Six hundred coins."
"Six..." Daya covered her mouth with her free hand in surprise.
Six hundred coins?
My mother earns more than thirty copper coins a day by selling tofu and vegetables.
She and her sweet sister picked flowers together and actually sold them for six hundred coins?
Very good!
"Sweet Sister..." Daya was a little out of breath from running, "Can I go up the mountain with you more often in the future?"
"Of course!" Tian Tian readily agreed.
She remembered Liu Sanniang's kindness because Liu Sanniang had helped her pay the rent of one hundred coins.
He would treat Daya as well as his own younger sister.
"That's great!" Daya couldn't help but cheer.
After leaving Anhe Pharmacy, walk a short distance, turn onto a street, and you'll reach Baiwei Restaurant.
As soon as Tian Tian turned the corner, she saw Lu Tao and Liu San Niang being pushed and shoved out by a shop assistant.
"What kind of garbage is this? It smells like beans! We won't take it, we won't take it!"
"Get out of here, don't block our way in."
Lu Tao was pushed in time and lost her footing.
Fortunately, Tian Tian caught him in time.
"If you don't want to accept it, then don't accept it. Why are you pushing me?" Tian Tian retorted angrily.
"If you hurt someone, can you take the responsibility?"
The waiter was taken aback by her reprimand, but when he saw that it was a young girl, he mustered his courage and said, "They were blocking the entrance to our restaurant, so what if I pushed her?!"
"They dare to send all sorts of random stuff into restaurants?!"
"Get out of here, don't get in my way!!"
Liu San Niang was still unwilling to give up, "Hey, young man, why don't you call your manager over to take a look?"
"Our manager is very busy, how could he have time to come and see you?"
"Get out! Get out!"
The waiter spat at the feet of Liu San Niang.
Enraged, Liu San Niang rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.
"Auntie," Tian Tian quickly pulled her back, "Don't take it to heart."
"They don't appreciate the value of our products; they'll regret it later."
The waiter, who hadn't even entered the room yet, overheard this and immediately scoffed, "Tch!!"
"Isn't there another restaurant? Let's go check that out."
There is also a restaurant called Fu Lai Restaurant on another street.
As they walked over, Lu Tao and Liu San Niang both looked somewhat disappointed because they had been rejected by Baiwei Restaurant.
Tian Tian then nudged Daya.
Daya grabbed Liu Sanniang's hand and asked mysteriously, "Mother, why don't you ask us how many copper coins those flowers sold for?"
Liu San Niang immediately smiled and said, "That's right, Mother forgot to ask."
"Sweetie, how many copper coins did you get for the flowers you picked?"
Tian Tian raised an eyebrow at Daya, "Daya, tell your mother how many copper coins we exchanged."
Daya proudly raised her head, "Mom, we switched..."
"Six hundred... copper coins!" Daya was unusually cheerful.
Liu San Niang was prepared to praise the children no matter how many they sold.
"So many sold..."
It took her a while to come to her senses. "What?"
"How much did you sell?"
"Six hundred," Daya repeated.
"Six hundred?!" After her initial shock, Liu San Niang cautiously looked around.
There weren't many people on the street yet, and no one noticed this area.
Lu Tao was also dumbfounded.
Those flowers... the three children only managed to pick them for three and a half days at most.
Wow, so many copper coins!
Liu San Niang grabbed Lu Tao, "Sister-in-law, we can't lose to those little ones."
"We must succeed at Fulai Restaurant later!"
