I Have a Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 2 Selling Herbs

Xu Lian heard the conversation between Xu Ning and Tao Yunchuan while cooking in the kitchen, and knew that Xu Ning was injured.

"Sister, it's okay, it's just some skin trauma."

Facing Xu Lian's concern, Xu Ning responded.

Looking at this blood-related sister, Xu Ning tried to keep calm.

Xu Lian was not at ease, stepped forward and took a closer look.

"It's fine." Xu Lian looked at it for a long time, and when she saw that there was no major event, she felt relieved, but her eyes were still a little distressed, "Go and change your clothes, the meal is ready."

"Understood, let's go."

Xu Ning glanced at Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan again, then turned and went into his room.

The simple conversation just now made Xu Ning feel a little stressed.

Looking at Xu Ning's back, Tao Yunchuan suddenly sighed.

He looked at his wife Xu Lian with a lonely expression: "I blame me for being incompetent. You have suffered hardship with me. Xu Ning has reached the age of becoming a family, and you have to turn around and let you support this family with me..."

"do not talk like that."

Xu Lian looked at her husband: "If you hadn't married me back then, Xu Ning and I might have died on the road of wandering. Don't say these depressing words, and things will be better in the future."

Xu Lian held Tao Yunchuan's hand.

"Um……"

Facing his wife's encouragement, Tao Yunchuan nodded silently.

...

Xu Ning returned to his room.

He wanted to adjust his mood, but as soon as he opened the door, Xu Ning saw a girl with braids sitting on her bed, holding two wooden toys in her hands, muttering to herself while playing.

Hearing the door open, the girl turned around.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the room was dark, but the girl's big eyes seemed bright.

Seeing Xu Ning, the girl had a smile on her face.

"Uncle!"

Uncle?

Xu Ning heard it and remembered it instantly.

The girl in front of her was the daughter of her sister Xu Lian and her brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan, as well as her own niece, Tao Tao.

Tao Tao saw Xu Ning coming in, put down the toy in her hand, and jumped off the bed.

"Uncle, why did you come back?"

Tao Tao raised her head and stared at Xu Ning.

"I……"

Facing Tao Tao, Xu Ning hadn't figured out how to deal with it for a while.

"what?"

Tao Tao suddenly asked a question. She looked at the holes and blood on Xu Ning's trousers, and her small brows tightened.

"Uncle, why is your leg broken?"

As Tao Tao spoke, she put her mouth to Xu Ning's wound.

She puffed out her cheeks and blew hard on Xu Ning's wound.

"Peach, what are you doing?"

Xu Ning asked subconsciously.

"Does it still hurt?"

Tao Tao looked up at Xu Ning again.

Only then did Xu Ning remember that after Tao Tao fell, if her skin broke, her sister Xu Lian would blow her wounds like this, using the cool wind from her mouth to ease the pain of the injury.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning suddenly smiled knowingly.

He touched Tao Tao's head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It doesn't hurt anymore?"

Tao Tao seems to be a little unconvinced.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Ning tugged at Tao Tao's braid: "You go to dinner first, I'll go after changing clothes."

Tao Tao pushed Xu Ning's hand away: "Then I'll go out first."

But just after leaving, Tao Tao turned around again and took out a few green dates from two pockets.

Tao Tao's hands are small, and he can't hold only three or four in one hand.

"Uncle, for you."

Tao Tao stuffed the green dates into Xu Ning's hands.

Xu Ning took it: "You waited for me in the room just to give me the dates?"

"Yup."

Tao Tao nodded.

She didn't stop, and flung her pigtails out.

Xu Ning looked at the short figure, and then looked down at the green jujube in his hand.

"This child..."

There was a smile on Xu Ning's mouth that he didn't even notice.

He put a green date into his mouth and chewed it.

"hiss……"

Xu Ning took a breath of cold air.

Really sour.

"Maybe it's all destiny..."

Looking at the green dates left in his hand, Xu Ning pondered.

After a long time, he raised his head, the sky was already dark.

Unconsciously, the estrangement from this world seems to be melting little by little.

...

Xu Ning changed his clothes, roughly wiped the wound with the spare ointment in the room, and then returned to the main house for dinner.

The dining table is a square table with a plate of light green vegetables, a plate of pickles, four bowls of porridge, and a plate of noodles.

"The standard of living at home is still a little worse..."

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Although Taojiazhuang is a powerful ethnic group in Kangyun County, his brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan is inconvenient to move, and he and his sister have no outstanding skills, so life has been very difficult.

The income of the whole family is about 12 taels per month.

Xu Ning calculated from memory that a tael of silver in this world had the purchasing power of 200 yuan in a previous life.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning suddenly thought of the green jade grass before.

That was worth five hundred taels of silver.

It is precisely because of its high value that the predecessors risked their lives to pick.

But such a precious sapphire grass was absorbed by himself as energy, and a trace of guilt flashed in Xu Ning's heart.

"Sit down."

After Xu Ning was seated, Xu Lian tore the dough apart.

Among them, she and her brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan were given a large portion, while Xu Lian and Tao Tao were both small.

At the dinner table, the family did not communicate much.

Soon, after dinner was over, Xu Ning excused his exhaustion and went back to his room.

At this time, the night rose, and the house was dark.

Xu Ning was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

After a meal, he had a more intuitive understanding of the family's circumstances.

Barely fed.

This is the current state of the family.

The more this happened, the more guilty Xu Ning felt about absorbing the sapphire grass worth five hundred taels of silver.

"I have to figure out a way to make money..."

Xu Ning's brain was trying to think.

He had to turn the force he had gained from consuming a high value into substantial help to the family.

...

Early the next morning.

Xu Ning woke up a little late.

When he woke up, Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian had already gone out.

Tao Yunchuan started at the rice shop in the village, while Xu Lian went to mend clothes for the tailor.

Tao Tao was still sound asleep.

Xu Ning didn't wake her up. When Tao Tao woke up naturally, she went to play with her friends and came back for dinner at noon.

Because it is in Zhuangzi, there is no need to worry too much about Tao Tao's safety.

After getting up, Xu Ning simply took a shower, stuffed the leftover cake from last night, and filled his stomach a little.

He sorted the herbs he picked from the mountain yesterday and the herbs he had picked before, put them into a basket, and went out to sell them.

Picking and selling herbs is what Xu Ning has been doing all the time.

After leaving the house, Xu Ning walked towards the medicinal herb shop in the village.

"Guo Ye."

Walking into the herbal medicine shop, Xu Ning saw a burly young man.

He was dark-skinned, with small eyes and a beard at the corners of his mouth, making him look old.

"Come on, Xu Ning!"

The young man named Guo Ye saw Xu Ning with a warm smile.

To say that in Taojiazhuang, which young man has the closest relationship with him, it must be this Guo Ye.

Guo Ye and Xu Ning have a similar experience. He lost his parents and married his aunt to Taojiazhuang when he was young. He is also a foreigner.

However, Guo Ye's situation is much better than Xu Ning.

His aunt married Tao Yungang, a well-known medicinal herb merchant in Taojiazhuang. His business scope not only covers the nearby villages and villages, but also covers Kangyun County, and his family is very wealthy.

Tao Yungang usually collects medicinal materials and talks about business, and Guo Ye takes care of the medicinal materials shop for him in the village.

Before Xu Ning, every time he sold the herbs he picked here, Guo Ye never lowered the price.

"This is the medicinal material picked in the last few days."

Xu Ning put the basket in front of the counter and took out the herbs inside.

He has gathered the herbs and sorted them into bundles.

"I'll call you."

Guo Ye's movements are very skilled.

"A total of three taels of silver."

Guo Ye calculated the price.

"Three or two?"

Xu Ning was a little surprised.

In my memory, these medicinal materials were worth one or two halves at most.

"So much, you didn't take care of me specially, did you?"

Xu Ning asked.

"No." Guo Ye replied, "The recycling price of cool dry grass has risen. It used to be three taels per catty, but now it is sixty taels per catty."

Saying that, Guo Ye took a bundle of cool dry grass in his hand.

The surface is yellow and the grass is slender and looks like withered weeds.

But when I put it on my nose, I smelled a faint smoky scent.

"The cool withered grass is six taels?"

Xu Ning's heart moved when he heard the price.

He suddenly thought of a memory of his predecessor.

A month ago, the predecessor accidentally turned to a place in Yunze Mountain. On the farther hillside, he found a large patch of cool withered grass growing there.

It's just that the place is too dangerous, too close to the inner circle of Yunze Mountain. In the inner circle, there are many wild beasts, and there are poisonous insects and poisonous weeds. There is no small risk, so the predecessor did not dare to pick it after hesitating.

Right now, with his own strength growing and the cool grass just raising the price, maybe you can give it a try.
