CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 071 SELLING HERBS

They walked down the mountain, and as they passed through Taohua River Village, they met quite a few villagers headed to the market.

At this time, the sky wasn’t completely bright, with many villagers holding torches, and only a few carrying lanterns.

Most of the people on the road were walking, some carrying loads, others with baskets on their backs.

There were also adults leading children, walking to the market.

Only two families were seen traveling by ox or mule cart.

The Great Princess saw the carts and was envious, "When are we going to buy a cart?"

"When we earn money!" Li Yuzhu was quick to dampen the idea, "Big sister, you’re always complaining about being tired and not wanting to work. When will we ever make money at this rate? So for now, we can only walk."

The Great Princess, "..." Earning money, easier said than done.

Is money really that easy to make?

Sigh, speaking of which, how much does it cost to buy a cart?

When dawn broke, there were more people on the road.

Everyone’s torches had burned out.

Li Yuzhu threw the torch stick on the ground and stomped out the remaining embers.

She looked forward and saw that along the bank of a small river up ahead, there were quite a few houses built along the river, one next to another, lined up.

Faintly seeing smoke rising up and hearing quite a few sounds of chatter.

Mu Yuanxiu said, "That is the village’s market."

The Second Young Master happily said, "We’ve arrived? Everyone, let’s hurry up and go."

The Great Princess rubbed her stomach, "Are there food sales there?"

The piece of leopard meat she had in the morning was nowhere near filling her up, and after walking for so long, she had digested it all.

"Yes, there’s all sorts of food, everything you could want." Mu Yuanxiu said.

The Great Princess immediately perked up and walked forward energetically.

The Second Princess was so hungry that her vision was blurry, and she gritted her teeth to follow.

Li Yuzhu was hungry too, but she could still hold on.

Li Xing’an adjusted the basket on his back, "Should we sell the herbs first or the little rabbits first?"

"Let’s sell the herbs first, I’m also selling herbs, we can go together." Mu Yuanxiu said.

Li Yuzhu nodded too, "Third Brother, the people buying rabbits wouldn’t get up this early. Let’s go to the pharmacy first."

Li Xing’an raised an eyebrow, something was off, why was Third Sister listening to that boy?

The first shop at the market entrance was a bun shop.

White steam rose from the tent set up in front of the shop.

Many people were buying buns, some were asking for prices.

"One bun for a coin, two for a coin for the plain ones." The shopkeeper loudly replied.

"I want to eat buns." The Second Princess rubbed her stomach, sighed.

The Great Princess asked the Second Young Master, "Second Brother, do you have any money?"

The Second Young Master looked at the bun shop, almost wishing he could gobble down three in one go.

"No." He replied weakly.

"Sigh..." The two sisters sighed together.

Li Yuzhu said, "Once we’ve sold the herbs we’ll have money, let’s hurry up, we need to sell the herbs."

The buns were tempting, but no money to buy them.

Mu Yuanxiu, often coming to the market, navigated easily to find the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was already open, with quite a few people inside, some picking out medicine, others selling herbs.

Three clerks were busy attending to customers.

Mu Yuanxiu went inside.

A clerk recognized him immediately and said, "Brother Mu, here to sell herbs again?"

"I brought a friend, her herbs are better than mine, take a look."

The basket with herbs was carried by the Second Young Master Li.

He took it down and placed it on the ground.

The clerk came over, grabbed some of the herbs, and looked them over.

Before long, his eyes began to brighten, but he said, "Just average."
