Chapter 5 Drug Store

Got back home.

Runtu brought back some tributes.

The tributes include some peanut candies.

The offerings for the sacrifice were relatively large, so the Zhou family gave some to Runtu and the others.

Then he took out the mulberries as well.

Black and purple mulberries are ripe and very sweet, somewhat similar to the taste of strawberries and raspberries.

Old man Zhang was a little confused when his son brought back such things, but he knew that his son was an honest child and would not do anything wrong.

Stealing something from the owner's house is very serious, and you will most likely go to jail.

"Dad, I went fishing."

The Zhang family has made a living by farming for generations, living near the seaside and fishing.

My father was also very good at bamboo weaving skills. He often worked part-time to supplement the family income during Chinese New Year and festivals or during busy farming periods, barely making ends meet.

Runtu has been doing whatever work he can with his father since he was a child, looking at the melon fields, netting fish, drying rice, and also doing some bamboo weaving crafts.

If he wants to make money, he must first get a start-up capital before he can do the next thing.

After thinking about how I can make money, I have to rely on my own plug-ins.

One acre of land is too slow to cultivate.

What he thought was that it would be better to go fishing. He had spatial ability and could fit fish within a three-meter radius into his own space. With this ability, it would be difficult to make a big fortune, but it would be easy to make a small fortune.

I took my fishing net to the beach.

Reminds me of Polygonum multiflorum in space.

He has been planted in the soil of space.

It was found that Polygonum multiflorum changed greatly.

I saw that the part that came out of the ground was much thicker than when I first got it at Zhou's house.

But only three days have passed at this time. It is impossible for things to change so quickly in three days.

He noticed something was wrong in the space.

"Is it because of the speed of time?"

He thought of this result.

Polygonum multiflorum grows at an alarming rate in space. There are only a few possible reasons. Either the soil in space is better. Or the time flow in space is faster, several times or even dozens of times that outside.

Time is the only criterion for testing truth.

Runtu began to experiment.

In the space, he took out the notebook given by Brother Xun.

I tore off two pieces of paper and rolled them into two funnel shapes.

Using the same paper, the funnel made has the same effect.

I grabbed two handfuls of sand from the beach.

Put two handfuls of sand into two paper funnels in almost equal portions.

He found a few small wooden sticks, one placed in the real world and the other in space. Runtu began to observe the conditions of the two paper funnels.

Wait quietly.

Sure enough, the flow speed in space is relatively fast.

The funnel in the space has finished leaking sand, and only a shallow layer of sand outside has fallen down.

Runtu continued to grab a handful of sand, put it into the funnel in the space, and conducted the experiment again.

It's still the same, the leakage in the space is over, but there is still not much change outside.

Continue to repeat the operation.

Runtu calculated the amount of sand in the space.

Finally, after the forty or fifty times, I saw that half of the sand outside was missing.

Having reached the conclusion so far, Runtu was very surprised, "The flow rate of time in space is a hundred times that outside. In other words, one hundred hours in space have passed, and only one hour has passed outside."

At this time, he understood why Polygonum multiflorum changed so quickly.

Although it was only three days, three hundred days had passed in space.

The Polygonum multiflorum grown for 300 days naturally looks much bigger.

Thinking of this, maybe I don't need to fish anymore, I can make a lot of money quickly just by relying on one acre of land in this space.

But things in space are hard to explain.

The harvest obtained from fishing is a completely legitimate source.

Runtu spread the fishing net and plunged into the sea.

He didn't dare to swim in the sea at night. The risk was greater at night, with wind and big waves. During the day, when the sun was out, it was relatively stable.

After swimming for nearly half an hour, I gained a lot. Dozens of fish of various sizes entered the space.

A distance of three meters in radius.

An ordinary one-story house only has three meters.

The radius is six meters in diameter. It is enough to meet a lot of fish.

There are basically three common sea fish in the space: cod, croaker, and pomfret.

Marine fish have firmer flesh than freshwater fish, are more delicious, and have no earthy smell. Marine fish also have fewer parasites than freshwater fish. However, since we are closer to the sea, the value of marine fish is naturally lower.

He put some of the fish into the wooden barrel he brought and returned home.

Father's eyes widened when he saw Runtu's harvest today, "Runtu, did you catch all of these?"

It would be great if I could get three or five of them normally, but now there are more than ten.

Runtu nodded: "Yes, there are more fish now."

They couldn't finish more than a dozen fish at once. It would be troublesome to feed the fish with sea water, so they made them into salted fish.

After several days, Runtu had some time to go to the beach to fish.

When he returned home after fishing that day, he said to his father: "Dad, I want to go to the county town to sell these fish."

There are so many, even if they are made into dried fish, there are fifty or sixty of them.

The father pointed to the salted fish that had been dried and prepared: "You can take away the prepared salted fish hanging over there. These newly caught salted fish will be made into salted fish first."

Runtu set out with more than 40 salted fish. These salted fish could not be sold for much money, and fish meat was far less expensive than pork. Being close to the sea, the price of fish meat was only one-third of the price of pork at most.

There were more than forty fish, and they weighed more than thirty kilograms. When he first went out, he saw no one around, so he put the salted fish directly into the space.

After walking for a full two hours, Runtu arrived at the county seat.

It's not for selling salted fish, but for the Polygonum multiflorum in the space.

More than ten days have passed. At a time flow rate of one to one hundred, a thousand days have passed in space.

That is to say, this one is ten years old.

It is several times bigger than when it was first planted, and it is estimated to weigh one pound now.

After arriving at the county seat, Runtu went to the drug store first.

"What medicine do you want to grab?"

Runtu: "I'm here to sell medicine."

"Selling medicine?"

Runtu took out the ten-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

It weighs one pound and looks good enough.

"How much do you want to sell?"

Runtu: "How much money can you offer?"

"Fifty cents."

Runtu felt that it was a little short: "Only fifty cents? Shopkeeper, look at this head. It has grown for more than ten years. How about some more?"

"It's only fifty cents. If you don't want to sell it, please take it back. Think of it as a ten-year ginseng. If it's a ten-year-old ginseng, then I can give you fifty taels of silver."

I thought I could sell it for a big price, but it turned out to be only fifty cents. I heard what the medicine shop owner said, and it would be cost-effective to use the space soil directly to plant ginseng in the future.
