Chapter 19 The Mischievous Kid Who Never Misses a Good Show
Don't think she doesn't know; the wolf howls that just attracted the wolves were made by them—those little creatures who love to watch the drama unfold!
Trying to escape? No way!
When the little dumplings saw Zhao Taohua reaching out to them, they all pressed their bodies tightly against the invisible wall behind them!
Shen Ming looked at Zhao Taohua in surprise: "Who are you talking to? Are there evil spirits here?"
Zhao Taohua picked up a small dumpling and said, "It's not an evil spirit, but a mischievous little devil."
They are masters of mimicry, able to imitate wolf howls, and enjoy playing pranks; the wolf pack we just saw was attracted by them.
As Zhao Taohua spoke, she waved the mischievous creature in front of Shen Ming, but Shen Ming couldn't see it at all.
The mischievous creature in Zhao Taohua's hands nearly fainted from fright when it saw itself so close to Shen Ming.
The next moment, Zhao Taohua gently tapped each of the troublemakers with one hand and said, "If you ever summon the wolves from the mountain to scare people again, I will kill you all!"
I have infused you all with my aura; even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will find you.
"!!!"
Instantly, the fear in the little troublemakers' hearts overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.
This girl is terrifying, even more terrifying than that hunter!
They all nodded.
The moment Zhao Taohua removed the shielding array, they fled quickly, moving in groups like a swarm of white balls, eventually disappearing into the soil, grass, and behind tree trunks.
Shen Ming walked up behind Zhao Taohua and asked, "In the past, it was always the troublemakers who imitated wolf howls to attract wolves and scare people?"
Thinking about it this way, it seems I've never heard of anyone being carried away by wolves, but I do see packs of wolves appearing as soon as I reach the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Taohua nodded: "These mischievous spirits are monsters that have emerged from the mountains, and they can blend into the mountains."
Therefore, no matter where on which mountainside they are, as soon as they sense people, they will immediately appear and then imitate wolf howls to summon a pack of wolves to scare people for their amusement.
Shen Ming asked in surprise, "Why have I never encountered this before?"
Zhao Taohua glanced at the overwhelming murderous aura emanating from him: "It was the murderous aura that protected you. You don't know, the little rascal almost fainted from fright when he saw you just now."
Shen Ming realized for the first time that the malevolent energy on his body had some benefits. Thanks to this malevolent energy, he was able to go up the mountain to hunt and earn a living.
For the first time, Shen Ming didn't dislike the malevolent aura on his body as much; it turned out it was protecting him!
“Brother Shenming, you don’t have to sell the wolf you just shot. Wolf pelts are rare, and they’ll make really warm winter clothes.”
"You often go hunting in the mountains; the air there is damp and cold. Wearing wolfskin clothing will definitely provide far better protection against the cold than ordinary winter clothes."
Zhao Taohua suggested.
She didn't tell him directly about the heavy snow this winter, but she thought that wearing a wolfskin coat would be very warm.
"Thank you!"
Shen Ming subconsciously followed her advice and carried the wolf home on his shoulder.
With the wolves and troublemakers gone, Zhao Taohua happily went home to get her small shovel and basket. She could find a medicinal herb almost every three steps, and soon she had dug up half a basketful. She planned to go to town tomorrow to see if the pharmacy would accept her.
If you were to collect them, this would be a way to get rich!
She and the villagers can earn money by selling medicinal herbs. Before winter comes, everyone can save up enough money to build a new house and get through the winter safely.
We can also cut down firewood at the foot of the mountain to burn, so we won't be cold in winter!
It just so happens that the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow, and Zhao Ershu will be back. Zhao Taohua plans to buy some groceries in advance so that the family can have a good meal to celebrate the festival and enjoy the moon together.
When Zhao Taohua returned home, Qian saw that she had dug up a basket of grass, which was inedible wild grass.
Qian asked in confusion, "Peach Blossom, we don't raise chickens or ducks, why did you dig up all this grass?"
"Mother, these aren't ordinary herbs, they're medicinal herbs. I'm planning to take them to the pharmacy tomorrow to see if I can sell them."
"Herbal herbs?" Qian was shocked.
Although she didn't recognize any herbs, she believed everything Peach Blossom said!
The next day, Zhao Taohua put the handkerchiefs embroidered for menstruation and those embroidered by Qian into her basket, along with the herbs. After breakfast, the mother and daughter went out.
The woman stared resentfully at Zhao Taohua's departing figure. She had come to this family to do hard labor, embroidering handkerchiefs tirelessly without sleep.
town.
Zhao Taohua and Qian went to the pharmacy first. There were several other people like Zhao Taohua carrying herbs to sell at the counter.
It was Qian's first time selling medicinal herbs in such a place, and she was a little nervous.
When it was Zhao Taohua's turn, the shopkeeper looked at the medicinal herbs she brought. They were all relatively common herbs, but the quantity was overwhelming.
The shopkeeper examined the herbs while working on his abacus, and finally said, "One hundred and sixty coins in total."
"???"
Qian's mouth dropped open in shock. This half-basket was actually worth so much money?
That's more than she earned working eight days in town!
It wasn't until she saw 160 large coins fall into Zhao Taohua's palm that Qian Shi came to her senses.
Zhao Taohua was also very happy, as it proved her idea that the medicinal herbs at the foot of the mountain in the village could be sold for money, and the pharmacies in the town would buy them, making it easy to exchange them for cash.
Zhao Family Village is surrounded by mountains, and no one has ever set foot at the foot of those mountains. If mining were to take place now, it would definitely be a great way to make a fortune.
Living off the land, good days are coming for Zhao Family Village!
Tomorrow, she plans to discuss it with the village chief and Xiangping's great-grandfather.
The village chief had to organize the whole village to dig for medicinal herbs, and Xiangping's great-grandfather had to help teach everyone to identify the herbs.
After leaving the pharmacy, Zhao Taohua and Qian Shi went to the same spot they had been at the day before to set up their stall.
The same loud shouts were used, but this time the handkerchiefs were much nicer than yesterday's!
Zhao Taohua originally planned to sell the exquisitely embroidered handkerchiefs for four large coins each, but now she felt that four large coins were not enough to reflect their value; such exquisite handkerchiefs should be sold for ten large coins.
Although the price was a bit high, every passerby who saw the pattern on the handkerchief was willing to pay, and some even bought three or four at once.
"I'm buying so much, can you give me a discount?"
“Beautiful lady, my handkerchiefs are not expensive at all. Look at the persimmons embroidered on them. The embroidery is so good. Where have you ever seen such good handkerchiefs that are so cheap?”
"I'm the only one here with this kind of embroidered handkerchief. You'll never find another like it!"
As Zhao Taohua was speaking, the handkerchief in the woman's hand was almost snatched away by someone else. So, she quickly grabbed the handkerchief she had chosen and finally paid thirty coins.
The seventy-two exquisitely embroidered handkerchiefs for menstruation, along with the five handkerchiefs embroidered by Ms. Qian, sold for a total of seven hundred and thirty large coins.
Zhao Taohua quickly calculated in her mind, then excitedly whispered in Qian Shi's ear, "Mother, we've already saved up five taels of silver, and we still have one hundred and sixty-two coins left over."
"Really?"
Madam Qian was surprised that they had saved up five taels of silver so quickly, including four taels contributed by the Zhao family's old residence.
"Mom, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dad will be back. Shall we go buy some meat and some good food to take back with us?" Zhao Taohua suggested.
Although she didn't sell a single one of the twelve peace charms she brought today, she still managed to save up five taels of silver, so she decided not to waste any more time here.
The Qian family immediately agreed. The family was finally able to make ends meet, and after paying off their debts, they even managed to save more than five taels of silver.
Besides, if you want to eat peach blossoms, just buy them!
The mother and daughter immediately packed up their stall, folding up the old cloth spread on the ground.
Just as they were about to leave, a man suddenly rushed to their stall, crying out, "Girl, please save me!"
Zhao Taohua looked closely and realized that this was the uncle who bought her the amulet yesterday.
