“Even flies can’t get near it, let alone mosquitos. This stuff is amazing. It’s the first time I’ve come across mosquito repellent herbs this effective. I’m not just boasting on your behalf, but if this stuff is as effective as I think it is, there’ll be a lot of buyers.”

“But that being said, you mentioned before that the materials for these herbal sachets aren’t expensive, but even so, they can’t be sold for any less than three or four coins. People in town may not be willing to buy them. If you are serious about selling these, it might be better to head to the county town, where there are a lot more wealthy people who might be willing to spend the money.”

“Auntie, you’re absolutely right – that’s what I had in mind too,” Zhuang Qingning said with a smile. “If they sell well in the county town, we could also bring them to the town, saying these are the products that sold well in the county town, and no need to waste our breath explaining their benefits. That could save us some trouble.”

“That’s true. The fashionable fabrics sold in the cloth shop in town are often best-sellers from the county town, and this would be much the same,” Mrs. He chuckled.

But if they plan to sell these herbal sachets in the county town, they will have to find a trustworthy one to help her out, which is hard to find on short notice.

They will have to wait and see until they find someone suitable.

But waiting also means missing out on potential earnings, which is such a pity.

Oh…

Zhuang Qingning let out a sigh in her heart.

Zhuang Minghao came running back, carrying a few grasshopper cages in his hands. Seeing Zhuang Qingning, he didn’t even have time to wipe off his sweat. He hastily thrust the grasshopper cages into Zhuang Qingning’s hand, “Big Sister Ning, you came at just the right time. I just got some great stuff. Take these home for Qingsui to play with.”

Zhuang Qingning took them.

The cages, woven out of bamboo strips, were delicate and charming, with grasshoppers chirping loudly at different pitches, their calls crisp and pleasant.

“Qingsui will certainly love this. Thanks, Minghao.”

“Big Sister Ning, you don’t have to thank me. These grasshopper cages are actually from Daniu. He gave them to me.”

“Just now I was asking where you went to fool around after lunch. But you’ve actually been thoughtful, remembering your Big Sister Ning and Qingsui. Well done. Now, give those grasshopper cages to your younger brothers, wash up and clean that sweaty body and dirty hands,” Mrs. He instructed.

“I know,” Zhuang Minghao grinned in response, then went to the water tank to wash his hands.

Zhuang Qingning watched Zhuang Minghao, her lips pursed in a smile, then she turned her attention to the grasshopper cages in her hand.

Minghao mentioned earlier that he got these cages from Daniu, who was the same age as Minghao. Danin’s father knew how to weave bamboo baskets and would create all sorts of useful items and toys out of bamboo strips.

Things like bamboo dragonflies, balls, and grasshopper cages.

Zhuang Qingning remembered that she used to admire these objects when she was a child. She even begged her father to make them for her, but unfortunately, her father didn’t know how. Her father could only bring one home to please her, and Zhuang Qinghe, her younger sister snatched it from her. She cried so hard then, and only stopped when Zhuan Wencheng gave her his hard-earned bamboo ball, to comfort her.

Come to think of it, Zhuang Wencheng, her childhood friend, had always been very kind to her.

Right, Zhuang Wencheng.

Zhuang Qingning’s eyes suddenly lit up at the thought of him.

Zhuang Wencheng was studying medicine from the doctor and shopkeeper of a pharmacy in the county town. These sachets of mosquito repellent herbs were usually sold in pharmacies. She decided to speak to him about this, to see if these products could be sold there.

And Zhuang Wencheng was a diligent and honest man, who could be trusted to handle matters well.

Perfect. She had accidentally found a way to sell these sachets of mosquito repellent herbs.

She would go to the county town in the next few days, find Zhuang Wencheng, and discuss this matter with him.

Zhuang Qingning’s eyes brightened into a smile.

After chatting with Mrs. He a little longer, Zhuang Qingning returned home with the herbal sachets.

Not long after she arrived home, Zhuang Sifu brought Zhuang Qingsui back.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhuang Qingsui dashed over, calling “Sister, sister” and showed Zhuang Qingning what was in her hand, “Sister, look, isn’t it pretty?”

Let me see.” Zhuang Qingning took the flower from her hand.
