He turned his head and could faintly see the golden signboard of Hundred Herb Hall hung high up in the sky. Under the sun, it flashed with a dazzling light, announcing its status in Wutong Town and the fact that it had quite a solid foundation behind it.

However, Qi Mu suddenly slowed down his steps and looked around her with an expressionless face. He found the nearest alley and quickly walked in.

She put down her big basket, leaned against the greenish stone wall, and sat there, her hands clasped around her knees, her head buried deep in her body, her stunted body curled into a pitiful, lonely mass.

She just sat there quietly but stubbornly outside the alley, listening to the bustling crowd outside. After a long while, she turned her face away and forced out an extremely ugly smile, scaring away the birds that had fallen into the depths of the alley.

When she closed her eyes again, a crystal clear tear appeared at the corner of her eyes. It slid down her face slowly, leaving a trail of sadness and despair.

It turned out that the worker and the doctor were not wrong.

So it turned out that she was wrong.

Perhaps she had lived too quickly since her rebirth, and had been so intent on selling the Gyokuro and improving the lives of her family that she had forgotten about it — it was a precious herb, but the value of it had been discovered in China in the eighties and nineties, and it was only after that that that the name "ginseng from the south" came to be.

This was a precious herb that was "late in life".

As such, it was normal for the doctor and the assistant from Hundred Herb Hall to not know each other. However, she …

Thinking of this, Qi Mu's heart ached again, causing her to tremble slightly in pain. Ever since she was young, the people around her had always praised her for being cautious and meticulous. She rarely made any mistakes, yet this time, she suffered such a huge setback and was slow to react.

Qi Mu let out a breath of white air. Just like her mood, she was like a broken doll, half lying in an alleyway with no one around. It was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away.

The last of her stubbornness supported her head to look up at the narrow, long, bright, piercing sky. Her face was wet with tears, reflecting a faint, sad light.

Actually, she didn't care much about herself. She could eat better or even a little worse, but she couldn't bear to see them suffer like this …

She tried so hard just to give them a better life …

She even promised Yang Yang that she would bring him a sweet gourd to eat!

"..."

After a long time, Qi Mu finally forced the tears that were rolling in his eyes back to his eyes. He silently carried the big basket that had accompanied her for many days on his back.

The way she cried must be very ugly, right?

She, Ye Qimu, was the type of person who could risk her life to come up with flowers that no one could defeat!

Qi Mu gritted his teeth and wiped his face with his sleeve before walking out of the narrow alley with a smile. His eyes were still slightly red and his eyes were filled with sorrow.

If they couldn't sell it, they wouldn't be able to sell it. Staying at home and letting their own people drink it would help them strengthen their bodies and health. It was also good as well!

Around here, the item must be good stuff!

Of course, if she had the ability to do so in the future, she would find an opportunity to tell him about the effects of the Blue Gyokuro. She didn't believe that with her many years of training in the modern world, she wouldn't be able to sell it at a good price!

When a boat arrives at the bridge, it is natural to be straightforward. If everyone doesn't recognize Gou Hanqing, then she will be the one to make it so that it is hard to get the Gudou Blue from a rich person!

Right now, since she had come to this Wutong Town, she couldn't come here for nothing. She had to figure out the situation of this town. Knowing herself and knowing her enemy meant that she wouldn't be defeated even if she fought hundreds of battles!

"..."

Just like this, as if strolling leisurely, Qi Mu carried the basket on his back as he walked all over half of the Wutong Village.

She chatted with the peddlers for half a day, occasionally followed behind a group of scholars. She pretended not to care as she listened carefully. They talked about the current situation of the Eastern Flower Kingdom, secretly memorizing it in their hearts …

After most of the day, Qi Mu felt refreshed. What she touched finally escaped from the remote cow farm.

And the biggest gain in front of her was that she now knew why the Wutong Town was so prosperous:

The first reason was because the Wutong Town was near Jiang-Nan city. Jiang-Nan city was the second largest city in the Empire of Donghua, with a vast area, abundant resources, dense population, well-developed economy, and prosperity. If not for the fact that the empire's capital was not located there, the title "First Big City" would definitely belong to Jiang-Nan city.

Second, Wutong Town has rivers to pass through, the water transport trade is developed, the population flow is great, the docks must have many business opportunities. Of course, in the end, the river led to Jiang-Nan city. However, Jiang-Nan city was a rich city and its consumption was extremely high, so most people would choose to disembark in Wutong Town.

Third, and most importantly, the Imperial examinations! The imperial examinations were also held. Furthermore, the final written examination was in Jiang-Nan city and the imperial capital. That was the reason why Wutong Town had so many blue-robed scholars coming and going!

In her eyes, every single one of the above was like white silver waving at her. So, wherever the capable person went, they would be like the sea and the sky, and the fish leaping in the sky.

Qi Mu looked at the red sun in the distance. Although it was still high up in the sky, she had to go back. The mountain road home was not easy. She carefully put her hand in her bosom and touched the warm copper coin.

Perhaps because she was crazy about money, even the heavens could not bear it. She placed a copper coin in the corner, waiting for Qi Mu to bend down and pick it up.

A copper coin was enough to buy a candied fruit for Yang Yang. It really was, this was great …

"Young lady, young lady …"

He thought for a moment that no one in this town would know her, probably not call her, but that person's footsteps were getting closer and closer. He paused for a moment before finally stopping and turning around to look back.

It was a young man wearing a blue shirt.

Seeing that Qi Mu had stopped, the person jogged and panted while still squeezing out a smile towards Qi Mu. Qi Mu saw that the unfamiliar man was smiling at her and was puzzled. He stood on the spot, waiting for the man.

"Lady, Lady …" It really makes it easy for me to find him! "

The man stopped three steps away from Qi Mo. He grinned as if he was familiar with the place. He was young and only slightly taller than Qi Mu. With his canine teeth bared, he looked cute and sunny.

"I don't know you. Is Young Master looking for the wrong person?"

Qi Mu reminded him with a gentle smile.

"No, no, no …" "He's looking for a lady!"

When the person heard this, he hastily waved his hands as if he was afraid that Qi Mu would leave again. He turned his head and shyly smiled as he said:

"I can't be a young lady. I'm just a errand boy and a servant. I'm sent by my young master to buy young lady's wondrous grass."

"Strange grass?"

When Qi Mu heard this, he shook his head slightly and said:

"I don't have anything …"

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to look into the basket at the back. Twisted Blue? Does it matter?

She put down her basket, grabbed a handful of blue coins, and put them in front of the man as she calmly said:

"M …" Is this what you're looking for? "

However, he didn't expect that person to refuse and instead reached into his bosom and took out a handful of dark green things. He first looked at the things in his hand and then looked at the things in Qi Mu's hand.

"That's right, it's the same thing. Young Master asked me to look for it!"

Not only was her appearance similar to grass, even the wounds on her face were exactly as Young Master had described. What a pitiful girl, no wonder Young Master was so merciful, the man thought to himself.

Little did he know that his appearance was somewhat dazed in Qi Mu's eyes. Afraid that it would delay the time, Qi Mu took the initiative and said:

"You want to buy my mincemeat?"

"What's a mincemeat?"

That person asked a question as he stared curiously at Qi Mu, seriously waiting for his reply.

Qi Mu felt both angry and amused at the same time. He shook his hand and said each word with emphasis on each word:

"I'm called this grass, Jiu Lan. Are you here to buy my strange grass, Jiu Lan?"

"Ah?!" Right! Young Master gave me silver to buy it! "

That person was stunned for a moment before cutely laughing out loud. He took out an exquisite bag embroidered with golden threads from his waist and was about to hand it to Qi Mu.

Qi Mu refused it and pushed it back. If she wanted to cheat, she wouldn't do it like this. It would be better if people understood that she was truly willing to be cheated. She said:

"You're so weird, why did you just pay without even asking for the price?"

"This is the purse that Young Master gave me."

The man turned his head around and frowned again. After a short while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and without caring about the difference between man and woman, he directly stuffed the bag into Qi Mu's arms and quickly picked up Qi Mu's basket.

"Girl, I'll give you the bag, I'll give you the strange grass, we'll trade the same thing, no one is going to lose out."

"Sigh …"

Qi Mu clutched his bag tightly as he looked at the figure that was running away so fast that he didn't even turn his head back. He wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. Was this person that bad?! That was her basket!

After staring blankly for a moment, Qi Mu involuntarily weighed the bag and the bag. Qi Mu's expression froze for a split-second, and subconsciously, she weighed the bag again.

When he was in the hands of that man, he didn't think that this purse was really heavy!

When she opened it to take a look, Qi Mu was unable to control the happiness in her eyes.

There was a total of five taels of silver, equivalent to about two thousand five hundred yuan. When she first arrived here, it was already enough for her to use for several years!

Yang Yang and Ran's candied fruits, buy more! Meat, he had to buy! With meat and some wine? Very good, give me a cheap dad and a cheap grandpa to drink enough tonight …

Qi Mu spread out his legs and rushed toward the busiest ancient path in the Wutong Town without any regard for his image.
