Picked Up A Husband For Farming - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: The Prototype of a Business Empire

Gong Jingzhang looked at the ages of these two herbs seriously. The more he looked at them, the more surprised he became. He looked at Xu Qing in disbelief. Who could casually pick herbs on the mountain that were more than a hundred years old? Her luck was really enviable!

“Are you sure you want to sell this five-hundred-year-old ginseng?” Gong Jingzhang was a little uncertain. Ginseng was a life-saving thing, not to mention that it was five-hundred-year-old ginseng!

“Yes.” Xu Qing knew what Gong Jingzhang was thinking, but she needed money. However, there was still more in the mountains, so her heart ached less.

After Gong Jingzhang received confirmation, he didn’t refuse. “A five-hundred-year-old ginseng is very rare. Now that one has appeared, it’s something that the major families will fight for. I won’t lie to you. After deducting your father’s medical fees, I’ll give you another two hundred thousand.”

Xu Qing believed that Gong Jingzhang wouldn’t fool her, so she agreed to his offer and accepted the money. After bidding farewell to her parents, Xu Qing was thinking about what she should do for a living along the way. Brewing wine required time, and she couldn’t keep exchanging herbs for money…

Suddenly, the fragrance of flowers attracted Xu Qing’s attention. Xu Qing looked up and saw a tree of beautiful osmanthus. She suddenly remembered that she could also brew fruit wine, flower wine, and medicinal wine. Some of them had short cycles, but there were many varieties.

Moreover, this place was a little feudal. It was difficult for women to do business. However, at the same time, women also had the main purchasing power. Fruit wine and flower wine were liked by women. If some beautifying effects were added, her business would definitely boom!

As long as she could earn money, she wouldn’t give up any opportunities. Otherwise, how could she build her business empire? Where did she and her children get their protection?

With a specific direction, Xu Qing was in a good mood, but she wasn’t in a hurry. Anyway, she still had 200,000 yuan on hand. Now, she had more important things to do.

Xu Qing went to buy a set of men’s clothes and ate the medicine she had prepared to change her appearance. The secondary medicine could temporarily cover her voice and make her Adam’s apple bulge, giving people the illusion that she was a man.

…

When Xu Qing appeared on the street again, she changed from a young and beautiful girl to a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth. Along the way, several girls winked at her! Xu Qing couldn’t help but sigh. The formula was really useful.

Of course, after changing into men’s clothes, Xu Qing still needed a legal identity. If she changed into a man’s appearance, she couldn’t be called Xu Qing.

She had asked Gong Jingzhang about this situation. She needed to go to the black market to get someone to make a fake ID. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to do things. The purpose of a black market was for things that were illegal on the surface couldn’t be done. They could be transferred to another secret place and continue doing them. That was called the black market!

If anything happened, the people inside would be arrested and punished.

Xu Qing spent 50,000 yuan to get this fake ID. After she came out, Xu Qing couldn’t help but sigh. It was really easy to earn money in the black market. However, it was money earned by risking one’s life. Even of she could earn it, she had to be alive to spend it.

Fortunately, this ID was considered legitimate. She heard that it was because they had an insider in the judicial process. Otherwise, Xu Qing’s heart would ache even more if she spent money on something so unreliable.

With an ID, she could rent a shop. The Chen family had already made a few things. When she finished renovating the shop, she could start business.

Xu Qing chose a few shops and finally decided on a shop with two floors. The first floor was used to sell large items, and the second floor was used to sell children’s toys. Of course, Xu Qing liked it the most because there was a rather large courtyard behind this shop. It was convenient to do things, but the rent was a little expensive. It cost 15,000 yuan a month, and this was only after Xu Qing negotiated for a long time.

After doing these things, Xu Qing changed back into her female clothes and prepared to return to the village. Just as she turned around, she was almost knocked over by a carriage.

The people and the horse fell.

“Help!” A panicked woman screamed from inside the carriage. A woman in luxurious clothes had her hands on the door in a sorry state. Her hair was already disheveled. She tried to climb out, but she was quickly knocked back into the carriage. Instantly, the woman’s scream became weak. The collision seemed to have been quite heavy.

Behind the carriage, a middle-aged woman ran. “Someone, please save my wife!” She was fifty years old and was panting as she ran. She was exhausted, but when she thought about how the madam was still inside and her life was in danger, she was terrified.

Xu Qing frowned slightly. Something was wrong with this horse. It seemed to have been drugged! It had completely lost its mind!
