Chapter 18: An Unexpected Encounter
It was indeed mineral pigment!
Looking at the mineral powder dissolved in the water, Qin Xiaoruo was ecstatic.
She wasn't sure if pigments were a rarity in this dynasty, but she could affirm that the mineral pigment would definitely sell, only the price she could fetch for it was in question.
Qin Xiaoruo sat by the river, resting her chin in her hand, lost in thought. She needed money now, but people prioritized food above all, so the most pressing issue was to find a plausible reason to take some fish and bamboo shoots out of her space to give the Fu family a taste of something fresh and nutritious.
That's right!
Qin Xiaoruo slapped her forehead. Wasn't there a bamboo forest a few miles behind Zhenxi Village, not too far from Houling Village? The original host had only been there once. Couldn't she just make an excuse by visiting that bamboo forest while Fu Hanwen was not at home?
Conveniently, the next day before dawn, Qin Xiaoruo heard the door of Fu Hanwen's room open.
