Chapter 51 Granny Liu Sells Medicine at Ci'an Hall
Su Xiaoxiao brought Sanlang, Dabao, and Xiaobao to town. When Sanlang saw the house that Su Xiaoxiao had chosen, he immediately pouted and said, "No way, this house is too dilapidated. How can it be big enough for our whole family to live in?"

Su Xiaoxiao's face turned red and white with anger at Sanlang's words, and she even felt a little feverish.

"What do you mean? You want to live with us too?"

Su Xiaoxiao wondered what Sanlang meant by that, so she whispered to him, "Keep your voice down."

Saburo still had that loud voice.

Having no other choice, Su Xiaoxiao said to Sanlang, "Let's break it a bit. I saw some leftover materials inside the fence that we can use to repair it."

Saburo had no other choice, even though he seemed quite dissatisfied with the dilapidated house.

Su Xiaoxiao is very happy now. She plans to take Sun Shi and Sanlang up the mountain to pick bitter barley.

They happened to be going to the place they had visited before. When they were halfway there, they found that the area was actually sparsely populated and quite clean.

However, when Su Xiaoxiao arrived here this time, she found that it was not so simple.

She noticed that it looked like someone had been there before, as many of the plants on the ground had been trampled over.

The environment here seemed rather strange, but who had come here? Sun was also very puzzled, but since it was her first time here, she didn't take it too seriously and followed Su Xiaoxiao inside.

The three of them remained silent. When they arrived at the area where bitter Job's tears were being picked, they discovered that there were actually many more bitter Job's tears flowers there, but they had all been picked, leaving only some flower buds.

The wildflowers in the main picture looked terrible, and in the end, only the roots were left.

"It seems some people already know that this bitter barley can be sold for money!"

She said, sounding very frustrated.

Upon seeing this, Madam Sun also said with great sadness, "It seems we are too late."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "It's okay. Since someone already knows that this can make money, then it's something that doesn't require any skill. Let's find other ways."

Unexpectedly, upon seeing these bitter Job's tears, Saburo suddenly remarked, "So this is bitter Job's tears?"

"What's wrong? Have you seen him before?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly asked.

"I think I saw a few places like this when I went into the mountains before. You two come with me!"

Saburo led the way, and they continued walking into the mountains.

Along the way, they saw many mushrooms and wild vegetables, and everyone picked quite a few.

They waited until they had been walking for about an hour before they arrived at the place that Sanlang had mentioned.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the trees here were indeed much denser than the place they had just been, and the environment was also much more tranquil.

The bitter barley here is growing well, and Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Shi's listless appearance just now has vanished instantly.

The group started chatting while picking bitter herbs.

By the time the sun was about to set, everyone had already filled a small basket with bitter herbs.

This time, regardless of what happened before, it looks pretty good now, and there are plenty of wild fruits here.

As a result, Sun said, "Wait a moment, before we go back, let's pick some wild fruits."

To Su Xiaoxiao's surprise, the so-called wild fruit here turned out to be an orange tree. Seeing the orange tree, Su Xiaoxiao began to ponder, and she quickly asked Sun Shi, "Sister Sun, are there many orange trees here?"

"Yes!"

Sister Sun still looked at Su Xiaoxiao with surprise, but Su Xiaoxiao said, "This orange tree can be very useful!"

Su Xiaoxiao followed Sun's example and picked a lot of oranges to take home.

Saburo also helped, and everyone picked a lot of oranges to take home.

After Su Xiaoxiao got home, she washed the oranges and then steamed the bitter barley.

She was busy at home when Mrs. Sun came over and asked her how to steam bitter barley.

She recounted the entire process, and it looked pretty good.

At least Su Xiaoxiao can be considered an expert now.

She told Ms. Sun to put the steamed bitter barley into a basket, and then take it out to dry in the sun when the weather was nice.

The next day, we went up the mountain again to pick bitter barley.

This time, everyone went to a much farther place, and the place was sparsely populated.

To avoid encountering wild animals, Su Xiaoxiao brought a lot of weapons up the mountain.

When she returned, she found that the bitter barley had already been picked. Who did that?
They're always one step ahead of them; it seems like this was premeditated.

Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao did not reveal any other meaning, and no one could guess what she was thinking.

Su Xiaoxiao and Madam Sun took the bitter barley they had picked to Ci'an Hall.

Even from a distance, I could see that Ci'an Hall was crowded with people and noisy. I wondered what was going on inside.

"Why can't I harvest these bitter barleys?"

It was Granny Liu's voice. Su Xiaoxiao was very surprised that Granny Liu had come to sell bitter barley. Did she know that bitter barley could be sold for money?

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and glanced at it briefly. She noticed that Grandma Liu's bag of bitter barley looked very messy, with some grass leaves and other things, and it hadn't even dried yet.

It's simply unbelievable that she would dare to sell such a finished product at Ci'an Hall.

Just then, Su Xiaoxiao also came over with a bag of bitter barley. An elderly man with a sage-like demeanor came out and said to Granny Liu, "Come and see for yourself, isn't the bitter barley here completely different from yours?"

He also showed some to the people around him, and they saw that the bitter barley that Su Xiaoxiao picked was all clean and fresh, each bitter barley was dry, and the flower buds on it were very large.

Then look at the bitter barley that Grandma Liu and the others brought. Even the children next to them can tell that this pair is different.

Mr. Li then addressed the onlookers, saying, "Even when we at Ci'an Hall buy medicinal herbs, we have requirements. They must be the best quality products. We won't accept inferior goods like this, no matter how cheap they are!"

Then a round of applause erupted from the crowd, and everyone admired Mr. Li for speaking out so righteously.

"Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?" No one expected that after being rejected, Grandma Liu would actually come up with such a statement, which was simply speechless.

Mr. Li glanced at her and said, "I'm only not making things too difficult for you because of your age. If it were before, I probably would have had you kicked out long ago!"

Upon seeing this, Granny Liu turned around and begged Su Xiaoxiao.
