C225 herb collection

"It's precisely picking medicinal herbs." Du Jinse laughed.

When the old grandpa heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, what medicine do you want?"

Du Jinse said out a few medicinal names.

"These aren't any valuable medicine. They're all over the place and aren't worth much."

The old grandpa asked with doubt.

Du Jinse laughed, "Yeah, because it's not worth much, there aren't many people picking it, but I need a lot."

When the old man heard this, he nodded, "It's not worth anything. How much do you want? I'll pick it up for you."

Even though they had suffered a little because of this young lady, when she left, she left behind two people to take care of them. Before she left, she gave them quite a bit of silver.

When Du Jinse heard it, she was shocked.

"Old grandpa, I want quite a few. You know some medicine farmers, so you can tell them that I will not let them work in vain."

When the old man heard it, he looked at Du Jinse suspiciously, "How much do you want?"

"I want as much as I have, but I also have a request. You have to dry it according to my method."

The four seasons of the year naturally required different amounts of resources. Of course, it was best in the summer, but at this time of the year, the average family did not have any more.

Hearing this, the old grandpa opened his mouth in disbelief, "That would require quite a bit of silver."

Du Jinse laughed, "Old grandpa, could it be that you don't believe me?"

The old man quickly shook his head.

Du Jinse looked at the old granny and grandfather.

"Old grandpa, I'm going to ask you to help me collect these things. Of course, there's more to it. I'll definitely not be any less than the amount of silver that each medicine store will give to everyone. Are you willing?"

The old grandpa was old after all, and those who went up and down the mountain every day were not as young as the young ones, but if he didn't do it, how would he live his life?

At the beginning, he really needed to go a few more times. After a while, when everyone knew, they would come looking for him. This way, he would have a purchasing place in the mountain.

"I can do that."

The old grandpa laughed as he stroked his beard.

This is a good thing. Although these things aren't worth much, they can't hold on for much. Who would reject copper coins to bite off their hand?

The grandma smiled as she brought out two bowls of tea.

"I have nothing better to do, so I can go pick some."

Du Jinse also didn't say anything, but you two elders don't have to do it anymore, in the future, help me buy medicinal herbs at home.

Hearing the grandma's words, she smiled and said, "That's great. Grandmother, how much money do you earn from gathering medicinal herbs?"

"I can't say for sure. If I get lucky and get some good herbs, then it will be a lot more than a year. However, how can I be so lucky every year? At most, I get twenty taels of silver every year."

If they said it out loud, they weren't afraid of Du Jinse snatching their jobs.

Du Jinse nodded her head, "I will give you guys 50 gold a year. If I need anything, you guys can help me take it.

The old grandpa was surprised as he did not think that this could also be exchanged for silver.

She quickly waved her hand, "Just running errands. I'm familiar with all the herb farmers in the mountain, and I won't hide it from you. Sometimes, medicines like yours are not so easy to pick." I just ran errands, I'm sure I'm familiar with all the herb farmers in the mountain, and sometimes, medicines like yours aren't so easy to pick.

Although some pharmacists would come and buy them, they all wanted those valuable things like ginseng, deer antler and bear gall. Those things were valuable, but getting those things would sometimes cost them a lot.

Du Jinse laughed, "Old grandpa, you are now a medicine dealer, at that time I will write something to you, follow my request, help me keep it, and at that time I will send the silver over."

"Actually, I can also give you some silver coins. If you put too much silver in here, it will easily attract the attention of bad people. I'll have to send someone to stay with you."

She really lacked manpower right now.

The old grandpa subconsciously chewed on some unknown medicinal herb. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Miss, did you bring any silver?"

Du Jinse nodded, and raised her voice: "Shi San, bring my small box over."

Shi San carried his small box and came in. Du Jinse took out the key and opened it, and rows and rows of silver were placed uniformly.

The old grandpa and grandma stared with their eyes wide open.

After half a day, he spat out the medicinal residue in his mouth.

"Miss, just wait here. Tell the old woman to prepare some food for you. I'll go out now."

Du Jinse laughed and nodded, then said thoughtfully: "Old grandpa, do you want me to bring your horse carriage?"

The old grandpa shook his head, "We medicinal farmers all live in the mountains, so we ride even slower."

It was because he was old that he lived at the foot of the mountain, so he wanted to buy something to make things more convenient.

"Then, do you need someone to accompany you?" Du Jinse asked.

The old grandpa chuckled, "Lady, don't look at how old this old man is. He is in good health. Don't worry, I won't be long before I return."

The old grandpa shouted, "Old grandma, please cook more lunch this afternoon and put in some effort."

The grandma agreed.

Du Jinse looked at the guards she brought and quietly went to help the old granny light the fire.

guards looked at each other in dismay. If concubine had helped someone light a fire, then what were they doing? They could not run too far, after all their first priority was to protect the concubine, so they discussed and took turns to chop vegetables to fetch water.

The old granny looked at the guard and quietly asked Du Jinse, "You're married to the shopkeeper of the big medicine store, right?"

Otherwise, there would be so many people serving her and so many medicinal herbs.

Du Jinse held back her laughter and nodded: "En, a very big medicine store owner."

The old granny sighed and nodded, "This is also good. Since you're so handsome, you should find something better, only …"

Du Jinse looked at the old granny who wanted to say something, but hesitated, and asked curiously, "Just what?"

The old granny then moved closer to Du Jinse, sneakily glancing at the guards without coming in, and quietly said: "That lover of yours has suffered a lot."

Du Jinse was stunned, where did she get a lover, how come she didn't know about it?

When the old woman saw herself mentioning her lover, she became lost in thought and smacked her lips.

"Some time ago when he came here, I heard that you went off with someone and lost your soul. When this old woman saw it, she felt sad."

Du Jinse finally knew who she was talking about.

"Granny, he's not my lover." Du Jinse argued.

The old granny gave Du Jinse a look that said "you don't need to say anymore, I understand".

Du Jinse was somewhat helpless. At that time, the situation had been forced, and she had no choice but to address them as siblings. Who would have known, that the old granny actually thought that they were a little lover who escaped from marriage.

However, the old granny would only think that she was trying to lie to him, so Du Jinse was too lazy to explain.
