The people of Niu Village had all taken advantage of the time when the market was in place to rush to Bluestone Town. Aside from sending all the eggs and embroidery pieces that they had saved up to the market to be sold to fill up their families, they could also buy some of the household necessities, such as salt, soy sauce and the like.

Wen Jingrong had already stored some things to replace in the market, including dried prawns from the field, a large bag of dried wild vegetables and mushrooms.

The people of the village of Shrimp in the field were tired of the hard shell and the lack of meat, and wanted to make it delicious and expensive, so very few people were willing to spend their time fishing for it. Wen Jingrong had fished out this kind of prawn when she was in the countryside. Every time, her grandma would fry the prawns with heavy oil until they were crisp and fragrant.

It was a pity that their family still couldn't afford the oil. She would occasionally throw in some shrimp while cooking soup and noodles. To be honest, it wasn't very tasty, and every bite she took was shell. In the end, she simply fished out the prawns and directly spread them on the broken straw mat in front of the house to dry. The dried prawns were quite fresh.

She was the one who picked the mushrooms in the woods. The work required her to recognize that the fungi in the woods were edible, and those were inedible. The deep mountains were densely covered with trees, and some places did not see the sun all year round. This created good conditions for the growth of various fungi. Every time Wen Jingrong entered the mountain, she would pick some mushrooms and leave the rest to dry in front of the house.

The fungi in the mountains multiplied quickly, especially after the rain, and under the dead branches of the rotting leaves were new bulbous heads. Wen Jingrong had only casually picked it and had accumulated so much in a mere month. It was a pity that the restaurant kept pushing down her price for the reason that the customers were afraid that the mushrooms would be poisonous and not easy to sell. The last big bag of dry goods only cost her 30 copper coins.

This time, Wen Jingrong no longer planned to bring the restaurant to the Forbidden City. She asked Uncle Niu, who drove the carriage, about which families in the town were rich and powerful.

When the ox-cart finally arrived at Bluestone Town, the villagers who were riding on the carriages and met up with Uncle Niu in the afternoon, and then went on their way to the market. Wen Jingrong intended to dispose of the mountain goods on her back first, so she followed Uncle Niu's instructions and knocked on the door. The first two doors were opened by impatient people who didn't even bother to say a word before chasing her away. She wasn't discouraged. This kind of outcome was already within her expectations. Previously, when she was at home, she also didn't like people who came to sell.

However, her luck wasn't that bad. When she knocked on the third door, attendant, who was guarding the door, was very patient. After hearing what she came for, he agreed to ask Aunt Wang, who was in charge of purchasing in the kitchen. Wen Jingrong waited outside for a moment, then a woman in her forties followed attendant out, looking through the dry goods in her bag. Wen Jingrong waited for a moment, then a woman in her forties followed attendant out, looking through the dry goods in her bag.

"How much are you selling these dry goods for?" Aunt Wang asked after checking the mushrooms and dried vegetables. Coincidentally, both the young master and his cousin had returned to their homes for the summer and the kitchen was still worrying about the lack of fresh dishes. At this time, she noticed the dried prawns in Wen Jingrong's other bag. She picked one up and chewed it carefully, which was quite fragrant.

"There's also this. How much are they selling them for?"

Wen Jingrong previously asked about the price of dried fungi in the mountain store. In this bag, there were mushrooms and mushrooms, but since she forgot to sort them out, she calculated a total price of 150 copper coins, and as for the dried prawns, she didn't know how much she should sell them for, so she smiled and said, "The mountain people only want to exchange the mountain goods for the household's price. Since the price is not as high as Madam's, you are responsible for such a large family's food everyday, so you should know the price better than me. "If you still need more in the future, we still have fresh fungi in the mountains, hulks, rabbits, turtles, pigeons, fresh fish, and other kinds of game. Tell me earlier, and I'll be able to deliver them all to your house."

When Aunt Wang heard this, she couldn't help but size her up in surprise. Hearing her words in such a orderly manner, it was natural that they would be able to work together for a long period of time. She didn't seem like an ordinary farmer at all. After sizing up Wen Jingrong, she noticed that she had a delicate and pretty appearance. Although her Chinese dress was worn out, it was clean and clean. Just looking at her made her feel a bit more good about her.

"How about this, I'll take both of your bags. In total, I'll give you 300 copper coins." During this period of time, there had been a bunch of pampered guests at home. As for the fresh mountain food, you just picked it up, the game, and whatever else it was, just deliver it. I will not treat you unfairly for the price. "

Wen Jingrong's mental price was also between two hundred and two hundred and twenty to two hundred and sixty copper coins. The three hundred copper coins Aunt Wang had given her exceeded her expectations, so she was naturally overjoyed. After the delivery was done, Wen Jingrong thanked Aunt Wang. After she left, she counted a dozen copper coins and passed them to attendant, who was guarding the door.

attendant was surprised for a moment and quickly responded with a smile. Even though Wen Jingrong didn't give him too much, it was still considered a good idea. As the saying goes, a little ghost is hard to deal with even if one were to meet the King of Hell.

Wen Jingrong left the Li Residence with the remaining two hundred and eighty silver coins in her pocket. She hadn't thought that it would be so easy to get rid of all the mountain goods in one fell swoop. However, what followed next was the real deal. She was worried and touched the Golden Leaf she had hidden in her robes. She strolled around the streets of Green Stone Town. Because she didn't have money previously, she had never come here before. After asking about the prices of the silk and cotton products, there were also some shop assistants who saw that she was wearing shabby clothes and refused to pay any attention to them. She did not care too much.

At this point, people still bought cloth to make their own clothes or asked the tailor to help them, so in the end Wen Jingrong chose the largest cloth shop, even though her family had two sets of silk clothing that were not cheap. She subconsciously felt that if she were to buy the silks that the two families had saved up for half a year, the eldest young master would definitely cause a ruckus. She might as well just buy the best ones. After choosing two sets of blue and jade white silk summer shirts, she chose a dark piece of silk, which was more expensive than the others. She wrapped the shopkeeper's arm around half a piece of cotton cloth to make it seem like she had returned.

Finally, he went to another house and bought two five-kilogram cottons and two two-kilogram cottons. It was perfect for Niu Dabao and Murong Mingzhu to make a bed for each of them to make a blanket and a bed for each of them to make a cover. When the winter came, the patient would probably be gone too. They could use the old bedding as a blanket. These new quilts were enough to cover the two of them for the winter.

After getting the items Murong Mingzhu wanted, the Golden Leaf had almost gone. Wen Jingrong was still worrying about how she was going to get the items back when the owner of the silk clothing store took the initiative to ask her where she was going to take them. Wen Jingrong told them to wait for a little while, then she bought a set of exquisite white porcelain tableware and some daily necessities like a bath bean powder and a wooden basin before she bought everything and went to the silk shop.

Fortunately, they bumped into the Niu Village people from before, and told them to tell Uncle Ox that there was no need to wait for her, so they sat in a horse carriage and headed back to Niu Village.
