In the following days, Shen Luxi kept up with the situation like clockwork.
Go up the mountain before dawn to collect herbs, wild vegetables, and fungi.The sun came back westward, and the basket was full.
At night, when the family is not paying attention, I go into the space to take care of the spiritual field.
The wild vegetables in Lingtian are growing rapidly. The first crop has been harvested, and new ones have been planted soon after.
The vegetable seedlings are particularly energetic under the water of the spiritual spring. The leaves are thick and green in color, which is completely different from the wilted ones in the fields outside.
She divided the harvested wild vegetables into two portions.
Keep the good-quality ones to sell in the town, and eat the broken and old ones at home.
Liu Qiaoniang noticed that there were suddenly a lot of fresh vegetables on the dining table at home. She asked about them and Shen Luxi said they were picked from the mountains.
Liu Qiaoniang believed it and didn't ask any more questions.
When going to the market, Shen Luxi carried wild vegetables, herbs, and mountain mushrooms to the town to sell them.
The shopkeeper of the drug store already knew her, and he smiled when he saw her: "Here you go again? What good stuff did you bring this time?"
The quality of the herbs got better each time, and the price given by the shopkeeper also increased by a penny.
Progress is faster on the tea side.
Shen Luxi repeatedly practiced frying tea according to the method in "The Essential Techniques of Nongsang". Most of the pots were burnt in the first few pots. Later, he gradually got the hang of the heat. The fried tea leaves were evenly curled, and the burnt leaves were reduced from 30% to less than 10%.
After the tea shop owner inspected the goods, his eyebrows were raised high: "It's only been a while, you've made a lot of progress as a speculator."
He picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and nodded: "Okay, I'll give you seventy cents and one tael for this batch."
It was twenty cents higher than the first time.
Shen Luxi nodded without haste: "Shopkeeper, you said last time that it could be doubled after frying. You have also seen the quality of this batch. Isn't seventy coins not enough?"
The shopkeeper choked at her and scolded with a smile: "You girl, your words are better than your tea. Okay, seventy-five cents, no more. Although your tea has a good aroma, it is wild tea after all, and its sales cannot be compared with that of serious tea gardens. When you can make a good presentation one day, I won't blink an eye at a hundred cents."
Seventy-five cents a tael, this batch of tea leaves is just over forty taels, and the tea alone brings in more than 300 cents.
Including herbs and wild vegetables, I earned nearly 500 cash from this trip to the market.
According to the rules, Shen Luxi saves half of the money into the space and the other half for household expenses and food purchases.
The copper coins in the space cave house were accumulated little by little, and there were also a few bags of grain piled next to them. They were brown rice and grains that she bought every time she went to the market.
Not much, but a little can add up to a lot.
In addition to making money and hoarding food, Shen Luxi also did one more thing.
She dug a hole on the edge of her three-acre thin field. According to the formula in "The Twelve Methods of Fertilizing", she mixed the dead leaves, grass ash, chicken manure and soil together, and piled them in layer by layer, covering the top with a thick layer of soil.
Shen Dashan saw his daughter digging a hole in the field and came to help.
"Lu Xi, what are you doing?"
