Chapter 17 Giving Alms to Refugees, an Unexpected Bond

Grandma Qin cut the green garlic sprouts growing on the garlic into shreds.

Stir-fry the fat part of the pork belly with fragrant oil, first put the garlic sprouts in to sauté, then throw the shredded pork in and stir-fry.

Sprinkle with fine salt and two or three peppercorns.

Smoke rises from the chimney, the fire is blazing, and a plate of garlic sprouts and pork with an extremely fragrant aroma is cooked!

Shen Ningning stood by the stove from the beginning, looking forward to it, licking her lips several times with her pink tongue.

She was so greedy!

Coincidentally, the pot of rice next to her was also bubbling.

When the lid was opened, the white rice grains were distinct, exuding a pure rice fragrance.

Shen Ningning felt her saliva flowing down.

The food was out of the pot.

The green garlic sprouts and fat and thin shredded pork, covered on the rice, were delicious with just a few mixes!

Grandma Qin and the little guy held their bowls and sat on the doorstep to taste it.

"Grandma, eat more meat!" Shen Ningning found that Grandma Qin had given her all the meat, so the little one quickly shared some with Grandma.

Then, she started to enjoy it herself.

But her hands were too small, so she couldn't use the chopsticks very well.

At the end of the meal, two grains of white rice were stained on her little face, and Grandma Qin took them away with a smile.

This was the most delicious meal Shen Ningning had ever eaten, and she used up a whole bowl.

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Good child, eat slowly, Grandma has raised the garlic in water, and when the garlic sprouts grow again, I will make fried eggs for you!"

Shen Ningning's eyes suddenly sparkled!

Having tasted the sweetness of the harvest, she planted the land in the fairyland all night that night.

Although she didn't recognize the types of seeds, Shen Ningning picked eight kinds of seedlings that she liked and buried them directly in the soil.

Sixteen square plots of land were occupied, and there were still fourteen fertile plots of land left, which Shen Ningning planned to keep first.

The next morning, she packed the Polygonum multiflorum into a package and prepared to go to the city to sell it.

Grandma Qin had already cooked delicious Yangchun noodles for her.

The noodles were kneaded by hand and were chewy. They were lightly salted and peppered, and topped with a fried egg and a handful of wild onions.

Shen Ningning was very satisfied with the meal, and her face was flushed.

The Black Wolf King stood nearby with his wolf pack, escorting the little guy out of Wolf Mountain with his eyes.

The owner of the medicine shop and the groom he brought were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the little guy, the owner hurriedly greeted him: "Miss, the sun is scorching today. This is a medicine bag to relieve the heat. Please accept it."

His attitude was too flattering, and he obviously saw Shen Ningning's strength.

The little guy took it generously: "Thank you, shopkeeper grandpa."

"Miss, just call me shopkeeper Fang." The shopkeeper smiled with a round face and helped Shen Ningning sit on her carriage.

On the carriage.

The shopkeeper took out the prepared snacks and placed them on the small table.

"Miss, I have something important to do in the pharmacy later. Can you let me take a look at the herbs in the carriage? If they are good, let's set the price. When we get to the store, I will send someone to give you the silver." The shopkeeper asked in a flattering tone.

Shen Ningning was eating her red fruit and nodded slightly when she heard it.

She took off the package on her back and untied it. There were three dark brown Polygonum multiflorum inside.

It still had leaf stems, thick and strong, top quality!

The shopkeeper couldn't move his eyes away and touched it back and forth several times.

He just felt that he was going to get rich!

The last time Shen Ningning sold him the purple Ganoderma lucidum, he sold it all at the price of 900 taels!

He said: "In this way, I will still give you 80 taels, but this time, we will count by kilogram."

"These two are about three kilograms, and this one is a little bigger, so it counts as four kilograms. I will round it up to six hundred taels for you, what do you think?"

Shen Ningning hesitated when she heard this number.

On her face, which was reddened by the heat wave, a pair of bright black eyes were clear.

The little girl expressed doubt: "Shopkeeper, you said last time that Polygonum multiflorum is the most expensive herb in your store. If it is expensive, one catty is only 80 taels? Then why did you have to pay for it when you bought my purple ganoderma last time?"

Shopkeeper Fang's heart skipped a beat.

I just thought it was bad.

This little girl is too smart!

He smiled: "The world is not good now. There are few buyers for expensive herbs. Even if I buy them, I have to worry about not being able to sell them."

After hearing this, Shen Ningning nodded kindly: "Okay, then give me 600 taels."

Shopkeeper Fang smiled happily: "Okay, okay! I will give the money to the young lady when I go to the store later!"

The little girl has already calculated in her mind.

She plans to give Granny Chen 200 taels, and then go buy some things to see her brother, because she has moved and has to tell her brother where she lives in her new home.

Finally, she wants to buy some necessities for the new home.

Well, I have to go to the jade shop to have a look. Her fairyland likes to eat jade. I have to see if there is any good one!

Six hundred taels, should it be enough?

When they were about to reach the gate of the capital, a foul smell blew in with the wind outside the window.

Shopkeeper Fang was the first to cover his mouth and nose, reminding Shen Ningning: "Miss, this dead person smells bad, you should hold your breath too."

The little guy covered his mouth and nose, and lifted the curtain with one hand to look out.

The last time she came, there were still many refugees sitting on the roadside.

At this moment, most of the refugees fell to the ground, their faces were pale.

"Are they dead?" Shen Ningning was a little frightened.

Shopkeeper Fang sighed: "Yes, the drought has caused no food. The rich and powerful are not afraid, but the common people are suffering."

"Either starving to death or dying of thirst. I heard that the river in the city is going to dry up. It's just the beginning of summer. If it doesn't rain... ugh!"

He said with emotion: "Four years ago, the Imperial Master predicted that the birth of Lucky Girl would solve the severe drought! Only the heavy rain that fell on the day of Lucky Girl's birth almost flooded the capital. Unfortunately, it hasn't rained much since then. After the rain.”

"I think what the Imperial Master said is not entirely correct." Shopkeeper Fang said, feeling that he had said too much, and immediately changed the subject with a smile: "What are you going to sell me next time, young lady?"

Shen Ningning thought: "Well...it depends on your mood."

If she needs a lot of money, she will sell expensive medicinal materials. If she is not short of money, she will sell some ordinary ones.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly.

It turned out that they had already arrived at the city gate, and when the refugees who were still alive around heard the movement of the carriage, they all ran over like hungry ghosts pouncing on food!

"Eat! Eat!"

Their stench filled the air, and the carriage was surrounded by water.

The drugstore shopkeeper raised the curtain and shouted angrily: "Get out, get out!"

However, the hungry and anxious refugees didn't care about this. They saw that some people were trying to pull the coachman down and get into the carriage.

Shen Ningning hurriedly threw the cakes on the table out.

In an instant, all the refugees were attracted and rushed towards the food.

At this moment, a dirty and agile refugee snatched away all the cakes.

He was immediately surrounded by all the refugees, and they punched him hard while the man tried his best to stuff food into his mouth.

Shen Ningning became anxious when she saw that he was constantly being beaten while protecting his food.

"Stop fighting! There's water here!" She threw out the water bag she brought.

The refugees immediately let the man go and started fighting for the water bag again.

The medicine shop owner thought these people were really crazy, so he immediately urged the groom: "Quickly, go into the city!"

Shen Ningning held the car window worriedly and looked back with her little head.

The man who had been beaten just now was sitting on the ground eating cakes and looking in her direction with his bright black eyes.

Looks like he's fine.

Shen Ningning withdrew her gaze with relief.
