“It turns out that lemons and waxberries are so useful.” Xu Hua was shocked and excited. “If that’s the case, should we drink more to become even better?”

After a pause, Xu Hua asked, “And what about waxberries?”

“Waxberries have inhibitory effects on bacteria such as E. coli and Shigella. They can treat dysentery and are very effective for persistent diarrhea. The tannins in waxberry peel also have antioxidant properties and can eliminate free radicals in the body,” said Bai Jiang.

“What are free radicals? What does that mean?” Xu Hua was confused by the terminology.

“That’s…” Bai Jiang tried to explain, but she found it difficult to explain medical terms and specialized vocabulary.

“Never mind. I won’t ask anymore. As long as waxberries are beneficial, that’s great,” Xu Hua said with a smile. “It sounds really good. After we eat all these fruits, our health will improve.”

Bai Jiang couldn’t help but smile and said, “We won’t be able to finish all these lemons and waxberries ourselves. I plan to sell some in town after the free clinic every day.”

“Great, I’ll help you,” Xu Hua offered.

Bai Jiang shook her head and said, “Mom, you stay at home and take care of Dad. I’ll go to town alone.”

Xu Hua wanted to say something more, but Bai Zhen suddenly walked over and tugged at her sleeve. “Grandma, I want to eat braised pork balls with brown sauce.”

“Why are you calling your grandma to make it? Call me Grandpa. I know how to make it. Let’s go. I will bring you there!” After Bai Shu finished speaking, he brought Bai Zhen into the kitchen.

Bai Jiang moved the fruits to the courtyard and decided to bring out the cart from the storeroom. She kept some at home for personal consumption and planned to sell the rest in town later.

When she arrived at the town, she realized that it was not as lively as she had imagined. The people who bought and sold things in the town were all from the nearby villages, and there were not many residents in the town.

These things…

“Don’t worry. Good things will be recognized even in unfamiliar or challenging environments,” Bai Jiang thought.

Bai Jiang set up her stall.

Most people didn’t pay much attention to a small vendor like her. After all, there were many other vendors like Bai Jiang in the market.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Jiang finally welcomed her first customer, a middle-aged man.

“Excuse me, how much are these fruits?” he asked.

Bai Jiang looked up and noticed that the middle-aged man was dressed elegantly and had an air of refinement. He didn’t seem like an ordinary person.

“Waxberries are priced at 88 RMB per catties, and lemons are 100 RMB per catties,” replied Bai Jiang.

Upon hearing the price, the middle-aged man frowned and said, “That’s quite expensive, isn’t it?”

“Sir, look at these waxberries. They’re the same size as eggs, and so are the lemons. They have thin skin and thick flesh, and the juice content is higher than regular lemons. These two fruits are good for the body, and if used for medicinal purposes, they are even better than regular lemons and waxberries.”

Upon hearing Bai Jiang’s words, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but scrutinize her. “You know about medicine?”

“Yes, I do. Do you still want these two fruits?” Bai Jiang asked.

“Yes, give me twenty catties of lemons and thirty catties of waxberries.” When that person said this, the surrounding people and Bai Jiang were stunned.

Bai Jiang furrowed her brow and shook her head. “Are you planning to consume them by yourself, or do you have a large family?”

“Why? Are you in charge of selling fruit and checking household registrations?” The middle-aged man sounded displeased.

“No, it’s just that you’re buying too much. Although these fruits are beneficial, it’s not easy to store them if you buy too much. They will spoil if left at room temperature for a few days. If you put them in the refrigerator, they can be preserved for some time, but their medicinal properties will diminish,” Bai Jiang honestly explained.

The middle-aged man’s frown finally eased. “Don’t worry. I intend to use them for medicinal purposes. I’ll handle them as soon as I return, so it won’t take long.”

“I see.” Bai Jiang packed the fruits the man requested, and they turned out to be quite heavy. “Would you like me to help you deliver them?”

“No need, I have people accompanying me who can assist,” the middle-aged man said as he pointed to a few individuals in black suits nearby.

Since there was someone else, she didn’t need to deliver them. Thinking of this, Bai Jiang accepted the payment happily and handed the fruit to the middle-aged man.

“Miss, can these fruits be used as medicinal herbs? If we consume them, does it count as taking medicine?” someone inquired.

“Of course not. As I just mentioned, lemons and waxberries have certain effects. You can give them a try,” Bai Jiang replied.

Soon after, everyone rushed forward, buying one or two catties each. Within a short time, all the waxberries and lemons were sold out.

Bai Jiang was delighted, as she had made a few thousand RMB in an instant. While she was closing her stall, someone asked, “Miss, I also want to buy. Do you still have any left at home?”

Upon hearing this person’s words, others around them also began to inquire quietly.
