Only then did the old man say, "Okay, put the things on the counter, and let the old man take a look to see if it is as good as you say?"

When Chen Guoliang and Song Xiaoling heard this, they hurriedly put the herbs and schisandra on the counter, and Song Xiaoling said, "Uncle, it's good to look at our things!"

The old man looked at Song Xiaoling again and felt that this female doll was also good, quite smart. Then I looked at the medicinal herbs again, and I thought it was good, it was very clean, but they were all very ordinary medicinal herbs. I looked at the schisandra again, well, the quality of this schisandra is not the top grade, and it must be of medium and upper grade, which is good. After reading it, the old man said to Chen Guoliang and Lingzi: "The medicinal herbs are very clean, but they are the most ordinary, so they can't be sold for a few dollars, but this schisandra is really good, so let's do it! This bag of medicinal herbs gives you two yuan, and the schisandra gives you two cents a catty, which is already very high, what do you two think?"

Song Xiaoling and Chen Guoliang were both happy after hearing this, Chen Guoliang glanced at Song Xiaoling, and when he saw her nodding secretly, he knew that she was also satisfied with the price, so he said to the old man who collected the medicinal materials: "Uncle, we believe that you can say as much as you want." ”

The old man nodded in his heart Well, yes, and he is not greedy for money. said: "Okay, since the two of you have agreed, then let's weigh the schisandra and count the money!"

After weighing that there were 35 catties of schisandra, the old man took out the abacus and began to calculate the accounts, and said to Song Xiaoling and Chen Guoliang after finishing: "Schisandra is 35 catties, and two cents per catty is a total of 7 yuan, and the two yuan of herbs is a total of 9 yuan." After speaking, he took out a ticket, wrote the amount on it, and stamped it and asked Song Xiaoling and Chen Guoliang to go to the accountant to get the money. ”

After Chen Guoliang won the vote, Song Xiaoling said to Chen Guoliang: "Brother Guoliang, wait." ”

Then he said to the old man, "Uncle, do you know what else you can collect besides herbs and game? Also, do you have any books on Chinese medicine? We want to buy this book, so that it will be more efficient for us to refer to the books to find herbs." ”

The old man surnamed Qin (later called Qin Old Man) thought for a while and said: "The things collected are quite miscellaneous, such as wild fruits, pecans, chestnuts, hazelnuts, these nuts and the like are collected. As for the book on Chinese herbal medicine, I have a copy here, old man, if you want, I can also transfer this book to you first, and I will buy a copy later. "It's not that Old Man Qin is generous, but because this book itself is not particularly precious, it is sold in bookstores in the county town, and he likes the two smart and clever children in front of him, since they want it, then he will sell it to them first!

Song Xiaoling, Chen Guoliang immediately said in unison when they heard it: "Really, uncle, then you are really good." ”

After speaking, he saw Old Man Qin take out a book from under the counter and hand it to Chen Guoliang, Chen Guoliang took it and saw that there were four big characters written on it, "Compendium of Hundred Herbs", Song Xiaoling asked Old Qin: "How much is this book?"

Old man Qin said, "You give me two yuan!"

Song Xiaoling handed the money to Old Man Qin, and after thanking him, the two of them inquired in the purchase station about what else they received in addition to medicinal materials?

Nuts, fruits, animal skins and eggs, as long as they can be used, are all accepted at the purchase station.
