The vendors all knew that this large market cooperated with the Northwest Military Region. Seeing Gu Jia Ning, a stranger in a military greatcoat, they immediately realized she was a new military wife and were very enthusiastic. Seeing Gu Jia Ning's pretty little face, people like beautiful things, so their first impression of her was excellent.
"Little girl, I have radishes, Chinese cabbage, and tomatoes. They were all freshly picked from my own field today. What do you want?"
Gu Jia Ning saw that most vendors sold vegetables. She went to a stall where an elderly couple was selling. Seeing Gu Jia Ning approaching, they quickly greeted her.
"How much are these?"
After inquiring about the prices, Gu Jia Ning bought a lot of each item. In winter, they can be stored for a longer time.
Afterward, Gu Jia Ning continued to browse, buying several bags of dried mushrooms, vermicelli, and a bag of potatoes. Seeing someone selling large tofu, she bought several pieces of large tofu…
It seemed that seeing Gu Jia Ning buy so much and not haggle, they saw her as a big customer.
Many farm vendors were very enthusiastic in greeting her to buy from them as she passed by.
Gu Jia Ning did see many things she wanted to buy, but she was worried about carrying them all alone.
"No problem, our market has people who specifically bring carts. For only one cent, they can help deliver it to the military region." As Gu Jia Ning was worriedly murmuring, someone immediately offered a solution and pointed it out to her.
Gu Jia Ning did see many carts gathered together. She initially thought they were selling carts, but unexpectedly they were for hauling goods.
Then she could buy with peace of mind.
Seeing the fresh fish jumping at the fish stall, Gu Jia Ning did not hesitate to have several large black fish scooped up. Buy!
Seeing the chicken and duck vendor, she directly bought two chickens. As for chicks, she didn't buy any. She wouldn't raise them, and she didn't plan to.
Seeing piles of potatoes, she directly bought half a bag.
There was even a pork stall. Yes, she bought everything: pork belly, spare ribs, lean meat, all of it!
Gu Jia Ning also saw someone selling wild cordyceps at a very cheap price.
These are cordyceps that are very expensive in the afterlife. However, the Northwest region seems to specialize in producing cordyceps.
Gu Jia Ning did not hesitate to buy them all. She would keep some for herself and send some to her maiden family and Grandfather Sang and Grandmother Sang.
The vendors selling cordyceps were a brother and sister, about ten years old. They had dug the cordyceps from the mountains and tried to sell them, hoping to exchange them for some rice and noodles.
But before, no one was willing to buy them, not even to take a look.
Unexpectedly, an immortal fairy sister came and bought them all. They were overjoyed.
After shopping the entire market, Gu Jia Ning's purchases filled a cart.
"Sister, my family has other herbal medicines. Do you want them?" Seeing that Gu Jia Ning really liked the cordyceps, the young boy, Qin Tian, mustered his courage to ask.
This brother and sister were from nearby Kaoshan Village. Currently, only their not very healthy Grandma lived with them. The family was young and old, and they couldn't work in the fields. Fortunately, Grandma had taught them a lot of knowledge about herbal medicine.
Therefore, they occasionally went to the mountains to search for herbal medicine and saved it to sell to the county hospital. However, the price was suppressed very low, and it took at least four hours to get there. The journey was too far. In cold weather, the road was filled with cold and heavy snow; it was unbearable.
Therefore, the siblings liked the tenth of the month's market the most. The market was close to their village, and as long as they could sell it, the price was relatively fair and would not be suppressed too low.
As long as the herbal medicine was sold, they could buy rice and noodles for their family. Grandma had been sick recently and should eat refined grains.
And, they had a wish they hadn't told anyone—they hoped to save money to go to school.
"Yes…" Gu Jia Ning listed some herbal medicine names. "If you have these herbal medicines, sell them to me. I also want these cordyceps."
As soon as Gu Jia Ning finished speaking, Qin Tian and his sister Qin Qing's eyes lit up. "Sister, we have all the herbal medicines you mentioned at home. Can you wait for us? We'll go back and get them now?"
Qin Tian's small hands, wearing gloves, rubbed together. The gloves were torn, revealing a few fingers. His lips were pursed, and his eyes cautiously looked at Gu Jia Ning. Qin Qing was the same, her eyes full of anticipation, as if Gu Jia Ning were all their hope.
Gu Jia Ning liked children, and seeing the siblings, she knew their family circumstances were not good.
"Okay, I'm not planning to leave the market yet. You go back and get them. I'll wait for you here. I want all the herbal medicine you have," Gu Jia Ning generously said.
The siblings' eyes instantly lit up. "Thank you, Immortal Fairy Sister. We'll go back and get them."
After speaking, the siblings ran off like the wind in a certain direction.
Gu Jia Ning looked at their backs, her brows softening.
The reason she agreed was partly because she wanted to help the siblings, and partly because Gu Jia Ning really needed these herbal medicines.
Soldiers often go on missions and training in harsh environments. In this era, medical treatment is backward, and medical supplies are scarce. Therefore, soldiers often have stomach problems, as well as back pain, leg pain, and spinal diseases, and rheumatism is common.
Even Sheng Ze Xi had it.
Sheng Ze Xi hadn't told her, but it showed up when she bound him as a patient.
Then she asked, and Sheng Ze Xi said that not only him, but basically every soldier had this problem.
After hearing this, Gu Jia Ning fell into thought.
These ailments may be tolerable when young, but they suffer greatly in old age.
Therefore, Gu Jia Ning exchanged prescriptions for rheumatism ointment and stomach-protecting pills in the System's Exchange Mall, each costing 10 points.
These two prescriptions had the highest points in the mall and were the most effective. The description stated they were developed 100 years from now.
Of course, there were others with lower points, but their effects were poor. Gu Jia Ning ultimately chose these two.
Now, Sheng Ze Xi was her husband. She would take care of her own husband, so she needed to prepare the rheumatism ointment and stomach-protecting pills.
It's just these points…
Seeing only 4 points left, Gu Jia Ning felt an urgent need for her sister-in-law to get pregnant quickly and to cure Sheng Ze Xi's infertility so she could receive 300 points.
Points are good things; once used, they're gone.
And the herbal medicines she just mentioned were needed to make the rheumatism ointment and stomach-protecting pills.
She had been worried about how to get the herbal medicine, but she unexpectedly met this brother and sister, which was a win-win situation.
