After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

The cook was the son of Shopkeeper Xu, and Shopkeeper Xu called him Xu Er. His father was the steward of Shopkeeper Xu's family and was highly regarded by Shopkeeper Xu.

Following Shopkeeper Xu, Bai Qingyun also learned a lot. The deer was handed over to Xu Er. The restaurant usually does not accept deer horns and deer heads. Xu Er cut them up neatly. In just a short while, the deer was divided into pieces of venison. Bai Qingyun saw it for the first time and was fascinated. From his eyes, Xu Er looked like a butcher cutting up an ox.

The weight of this adult deer, minus the head and antlers, was about 220 jin. Shopkeeper Xu bought it at the price of 350 wen per jin, and sold the adult deer for 77 taels of silver.

No wonder his family could support him despite his stupidity for so many years. As long as the hunter could hunt precious prey and sell it, he could earn a considerable income for his family. However, prey was hard to find and the risk was great, Bai Qingyun thought as he walked.

The town is not big, and not far from the pier is the town’s largest clinic, Jishidiang.

Jishidiang has been open for many years and is spread all over the place. I heard from Grandpa Bai that Jishidiang was opened by the Jiang family, a family that has been practicing medicine for a hundred years. After the Jiang family became rich, they have been giving back to the people. Every year, Jishidiangs in various places will regularly provide free medical treatment for local beggars and enjoy a high reputation among the people.

Not only that, when Grandpa Bai joined the army, His Majesty had just overthrown the previous dynasty and established Da Zhao. There was a lot of work to be done and the border troops were in short supply of food and medicine. It was the reclusive Jiang family who sent doctors to the front lines to save the lives of countless border soldiers.

Jishidiang in Baiyang Town has been open for many years, and the people in the town are accustomed to going to Jishidiang for medical treatment. Therefore, there is a great demand for medicinal herbs at Jishidiang. People from several villages around the town will bring the herbs they collect to Jishidiang, and the prices are reasonable.

The two Ganoderma lucidum that Mr. Bai had taken before were purchased by the people from Jishidiang.

Father Bai came to the place where he got the medicine and greeted the herbalist skillfully. The herbalist was impressed by Father Bai because the Ganoderma lucidum he sold before was personally received by the head of Jishidiang.

The herbal farmer was very busy today, so he asked Father Bai if he came to sell herbs. When he saw the thing covered with cloth, he knew it was a rare item, so he took Father Bai to the backyard of the clinic and found the manager to meet him in person.

The head of Jishidiang was a man of similar age to Bai's father. The difference was that as soon as Bai Qingyun got close, he could smell a strong herbal aroma. It was not offensive, but surprisingly pleasant and refreshing.

Hearing the herbalist calling this person "Manager Li", he greeted Bai's father with a look of surprise and said, "Brother Bai, that's great. I was just looking for you! Please take a seat."

Father Bai was nervous. The last time he saw Manager Li, he looked like a modest gentleman. He usually spoke in a gentle tone when diagnosing patients. Only when some patients did not follow the doctor's advice would Manager Li look angry and then turn around to tell the herbalist to add more coptis chinensis to the medicine!!!

Although Manager Li didn't look like that this time, he was very different from usual. Father Bai was unsure and asked cautiously, "I wonder why Manager Li is looking for me so anxiously?"

"I naturally believe in Brother Bai's character, but this matter is of great importance after all, so I hope you won't tell anyone else about it." Manager Li suddenly looked serious.

But without waiting for Mr. Bai's response, he continued, "To be honest, I suddenly received a letter from my master the day before yesterday. A nobleman in Beijing was seriously ill and urgently needed a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to save his life. After searching for many days in Beijing, they only found one, but it was not of good quality, and the medicinal effect was also much worse. The master wrote to Jishitang in various places, asking for a large sum of money to buy it. The two Ganoderma lucidum that Brother Bai brought last time were of excellent quality, so I wanted to ask you to try your luck!"

Father Bai was embarrassed after he understood: "I dare not deceive you, sir. The last time I found it, I happened to find it when I went hunting in the mountains. Ganoderma lucidum is hard to find, let alone a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

"Don't worry, Brother Bai. This is not an easy task. I just hope you can go and look for it. If you find it, I will definitely reward you handsomely! If you are worried, I can sign a contract with you and have it notarized by the government. As long as you can find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, I will not only buy it at a high price, but also give you an extra reward of 100 taels of silver. How do you think?"

"Since the boss is sincere in wanting to buy it, I am naturally willing to do my best to find it. However, this is a serious matter and I am afraid that..." Father Bai's worry was not unreasonable. It actually involved a nobleman in the capital and he was not someone that ordinary people could easily provoke. If he caused a fatal disaster, even a thousand taels of silver would be more than worth it.

Manager Li knew that this matter was serious, and he also explained considerately: "Don't worry, brother, if you find Lingzhi, you can come to the clinic to find me as usual, and just pretend to collect herbs as usual. When Lingzhi is found, it will be presented in the name of the master family, and even Jishitang will not be involved too much."

Father Bai no longer had any worries, so he glanced at Bai Qingyun who was sitting obediently beside him, and nodded slightly where Manager Li couldn't see.

Bai Qingyun had told his father about growing Ganoderma lucidum in the space before. Seeing Bai Qingyun nod, knowing that there was Ganoderma lucidum in the space, he agreed to Manager Li's request and signed a one-month contract.

Although the owner requested two months, the preparation and transportation of Ganoderma lucidum would take a lot of time, so only one month was signed. After one month, the contract was invalidated because Ganoderma lucidum was not found.

Father Bai and Bai Qingyun knew that the contract would not be invalidated, but they both thought in their hearts that although the Ganoderma lucidum was available, it could not be taken out so quickly. Taking it out too quickly would always arouse suspicion. It would be more reasonable to spend a long time to find it by chance, which would not easily arouse suspicion.

Just as he was making up his mind, Li saw Bai Qingyun sitting beside him with a bamboo basket at his feet. "This is Brother Bai's youngest daughter. Her eyes are clear, unlike when I diagnosed her pulse before. Did you find a famous doctor?" Li had diagnosed Bai Qingyun before, but her dementia was difficult to cure, so he finally prescribed some herbal medicine for her condition. Now that she was cured, he thought it was the result of a famous doctor's diagnosis, so he wanted to find someone to learn from.

"It wasn't a famous doctor's diagnosis. It was just that my daughter was playful some time ago and fell on her head while playing with her brothers at home. Now she is fine!" This is the statement agreed upon by Bai's father and the family. After all, telling outsiders that it was a fairy descending to earth would not cause gossip. She had also consulted a doctor when she fell on her head before, so it was not surprising to tell everyone this statement.

"So that's how it is. This is really the little girl's fortune." Manager Li looked regretful, but he also remembered the important matter.

"Look at me! I forgot, Brother Bai, did you come to the clinic today for something important?"

"Yesterday, I hunted a sika deer. I took the deer's body to a restaurant and sold it this morning. I heard that deer antlers and deer heads can be used as medicine, so I wanted to come here to ask. Also, my daughter is fine, so I want to ask Master Li to take her pulse."

"Hahaha, Brother Bai, you are really good. This deer antler can indeed be used as medicine. The clinic doesn't need much of it. I got this today, which is just enough to make up for the shortage!"

Then he took Bai Qingyun and Bai's father to the clinic and felt her pulse carefully: "There is nothing wrong with her body, but she is thin. Go back and cook more nourishing food to make up for the loss of her body in the past few years!"
