Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 235 The Green-Tailed Mermaid Selling Ointment

"Excuse me, my dear customer. I didn't expect you to be so wealthy at such a young age. You are right to come to my stall. There are only three or more stalls selling the things I sell in the whole market. Let me introduce them to you."

"This is 'Healing Herb Ointment', which can treat all kinds of shark bites, whale bites, sawfish bites and other external injuries. This is 'Purifying Herb Juice', which can be used for jellyfish stings, electric eel stings, sea snake bites, sea anemone stings, lionfish stings, etc., etc., but the blue-ringed octopus is extremely poisonous and there is no cure."

"These bottles contain 'dream grass juice'. After drinking it, you will feel a tingling sensation in your body, and then you will lose consciousness after a while. Your mind will also be fuzzy, just like in a dream."

Xu Weiwei had a general understanding. One was for treating red wounds, one was for detoxification, and the last one should be equivalent to an anesthetic or a hallucinogen.

"Do you know their ingredients?" Xu Weiwei asked again.

"know."

Xu Weiwei's eyes lit up, but she didn't expect the mermaid to immediately say, "But I can't tell you."

Looking at the other party's smiling face, Xu Weiwei felt for the first time that mermaids were kind of weird creatures.

"This is a secret passed down from generation to generation between the master and the apprentice of our mermaid tribe. You are not my apprentice sister, and you are not even a mermaid. How can I tell you?"

"Master and disciple?" Xu tilted his head slightly, as if he felt something in his heart.

"Yes. Let me tell you in secret—"

The green-tailed mermaid supported herself with her arms, moved her upper body closer, and said mysteriously: “I am the priest’s apprentice.”

"Not only that, I am her child~ My own, from an egg she laid herself. I wasn't hatched from some wild egg I picked up from somewhere. I will definitely be the next high priest of the mermaid tribe in the future."

Xu Weiwei: “…”

These words seem to contain a lot of information.

So, among the merpeople, being a doctor is not only a lineage, but also a family business?

"Why are you telling me this?"

The green mermaid lay down depressed. "Mother doesn't allow me to sell things under her name, but it's okay to tell you. You are an outsider and you will leave in a few days."

"Okay," Xu Weiwei understood. Traditional Chinese medicine used to be like this. If you don't learn from a master, how can others teach you how to make a living?

"After asking so many questions, do you want to buy it?" the mermaid asked expectantly.

"Well, please pack five bottles of these ointments or potions with different effects for me."

"Okay! The total is three thousand and two, cash or one coin?" The mermaid packed up quickly and calculated the price.

"Yibitong, I don't have your currency." Xu Weiwei took the item and transferred the money. Then he couldn't wait to unscrew the stopper, observed the paste inside, and put his nose close to it to smell it.

"There's cuttlefish ink and cod liver oil, right? The rest is hard to tell apart, and there might be some algae."

Green-tailed mermaid: “…”

"Are you really not a mermaid? Oh, no, even if you are a mermaid, this shouldn't be the case. Could it be that you are my mother's illegitimate child?"

Xu Weiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I am a real human being, but maybe my nose is a little sensitive. The person standing over there is my uncle. I am not lying to you."

McQueen saw Xu Weiwei pointing at him and thought something had happened, so he immediately walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just bought some ointment. Let's go look somewhere else, uncle."

Xu Weiwei stood up and waved goodbye to the green-tailed mermaid.

After hanging the purchased items on No. 7, Xu Weiwei continued to walk inside.

In addition to traditional things, everyone also saw some high-tech products, such as the translators they were wearing in their ears that enabled them to communicate seamlessly with the mermaids, and devices that allowed them to breathe freely underwater.

Xu Weiwei originally wanted to buy it, but was stopped by McQueen.

"No need. When we go there to play, I will prepare better things for you." McQueen said, pointing to the sea above his head.

Xu Weiwei listened to the advice and learned from it, and stopped looking at products that contained modern technology.

"Weier! There is a stall selling gauze clothes over there. I took a look and there are some that you can wear. Go over and take a look." Kane ran over and pulled Xu Weiwei away.

It was rare for a group of people to gather in front of one stall.

This is the largest stall that the group has encountered so far, with a space of more than 20 square meters and a shed built on top, covering the entire stall tightly.

There are indeed many more styles of clothes, and more size options.

"Look at this set, isn't it beautiful?" Kane took a two-piece suit and tried it on Xu Weiwei.

"You have a good eye. This is the style that uses the most material. I have only one set left. I have kept it until now because the size is too small."

Xu Weiwei reached out to lift the hem of her skirt, but it slipped away from her palm, and layers of gauze bloomed like petals.

Gauze is thin and light, so if you want it to be non-transparent, you have to add layers upon layers, and finally it will give you a layered but light feeling like a night-blooming cereus.

There are more than ten layers of skirt, but the weight in the hand is less than 300 grams. It really makes people sigh at the magic of gauze, and no wonder it can be sold at such a high price.

This set alone cost tens of thousands of star coins. The children also bought a dress for Meilin, their mother, and Mrs. Wolfhard. When they bought it for Adjutant Qiu and McQueen, they decisively refused.

"I wouldn't wear this even if I was naked. It's so sissy." McQueen said with disgust.

Indeed, Xu Weiwei couldn't help laughing when she imagined her uncle who looked like he was not easy to mess with wearing soft gauze.

Finn didn't want to participate, but since several others had bought some, it would not be good if his mother saw that he was the only one without any.

After leaving the clothes stall, No. 7 was almost covered with clothes. Every stall owner who passed by looked at them as if they were rich people. Xu Weiwei was really embarrassed and kept some distance from the parents.

I walked aimlessly like this and unknowingly arrived at the edge of the market.

Xu Weiwei was surprised when she saw the first mermaid basking in the hot sun. It was a female. Although she had legs, her face still had obvious mermaid features. She was curled up under a small and shabby parasol to avoid the hot sun.

As we continued walking down, we saw more and more mermaid stall owners staying outside the pond. Some of them didn’t even have umbrellas, and they looked like they were trying hard to endure the discomfort.

Xu Weiwei's brows gradually frowned.
