Wild vegetable seeds are the easiest to find. They are found everywhere in the mountains. If you grow them and sell them in the town, you can get some money.
Herbal medicines are also fine. She saw the seeds of honeysuckle and bupleurum on the mountain today. She can pick some and plant them in the spiritual field tomorrow.
There is something else that Shen Luxi has been thinking about.
When she went up the mountain today, she saw several wild tea trees on the higher slopes. The leaves were green and they were growing well.
On the way to escape in her previous life, she had seen tea merchants in the south buying wild tea. Good quality tea could be sold at a high price.
People in the village don't drink tea because they think the tea is bitter leaves, so no one takes it seriously.
But the tea shop in town collects it.
When we go up the mountain tomorrow, in addition to picking herbs, we also have to pick some tea leaves.
Shen Luxi closed the book and stayed in the space for a while, watering the seedlings in the spiritual field with spring water before retreating.
When I returned to the hut, Wang Guihua's voice came from outside the door.
"From the second brother's house! Come here!"
Shen Luxi opened the door and saw his mother, Liu Qiaoniang, walking towards the main room, her steps a little hasty.
She followed.
In the main hall, grandmother Wang Guihua was sitting on the chair of the grand master, with a bowl of tea in her hand. Zhao Cuiping was standing next to her, with a smile on her lips, the kind of smile that makes people watch a good show.
Liu Qiaoniang walked in and called out in a low voice: "Mom."
Wang Guihua picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said slowly: "The day after tomorrow, when we go to the market in town, you take the eggs you saved at home and sell them, and give them to me in exchange for the money."
Liu Qiao Niang was startled: "Mom, those eggs are for Xiao Man to replenish his health..."
"What's wrong with you? A kid who was raised at a loss still wants to eat eggs?" Wang Guihua put the tea bowl on the table and said, "Jinbao is studying in the town. How can he get pens, inks, paper and inkstones for free? Your second wife eats and drinks from home. What's wrong with the few eggs?"
Zhao Cuiping spoke up from the side: "You are too stingy, brother and sister. Jinbao is the only child in our Shen family who is studying. If he is admitted to the imperial examination in the future, your second wife will also benefit from it, right?"
Shen Luxi stood at the door and listened to all these words.
She clearly knew what books Shen Jinbao read in her previous life.
That kid had never been to a private school, so he used all the "study money" Wang Guihua gave him to gamble.
It's hard to say whether Zhao Cuiping knew this, but Wang Guihua was really kept in the dark.
While Liu Qiaoniang was still in trouble, Shen Luxi spoke.
"There's no rush about milk and eggs. I do have something to ask."
Several people in the room looked over.
Wang Guihua frowned: "What are you asking? Why do children get in the way when adults are talking?"
Shen Luxi ignored this and continued: "Brother Jinbao is studying in the town. Which private school is he studying at? What is your surname? I will go to town another day and take the place of my wife to check on Brother Jinbao's homework."
