Chapter 31 Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
When it comes to Da Song's family, Xiao Er is stuck. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He hesitated for a long time, then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper again, and then drooped his head and said, "I don't know about this." ā
Meng Ge looked at Xiao Er, who was a little insincere, and didn't look at the shopkeeper, but continued to ask: "Is there a place to collect fur herbs in the town?"
This question seems to be Xiao Er's business, so he raised his head and talked endlessly about the shops in the town, as well as the varieties of goods received by the shops, and so on.
"It stands to reason that the furs collected by the traders here must be cooked. If it's not cooked, the price is low. The shopkeeper looked at the big bundle of fur that Meng Ge had carried downstairs with regret.
"We also want to cook the skin, but it's not that there is nothing to cook. We don't even have salt to eat. Meng Ge said half-truthfully.
In other words, Meng Lang used to cook the fur and other things, in fact, there are still a lot. It's just that Meng Ge didn't know when they would be able to go down the mountain, so he didn't use it all on cooked skin.
At that time, she thought that if she had to stay in the mountains for a year or two, she would hunt good skins and cook them.
"Okay, it's a pity that there are so many good skins. I'm afraid, it's going to be worth a lot of money. However, if you have herbs, you can sell them to us, and we will collect them. The shopkeeper sighed again.
At the mention of medicinal herbs, the shopkeeper also straightened up, and swept from behind the counter with blazing eyes to the big back basket that Yu Yang placed at his feet.
After adapting to what he had just done last night, Meng Mao was no longer too afraid of strangers' scrutiny. Therefore, he glanced back at the shopkeeper, and nervously reached out and tugged at the corner of Meng Ge's clothes.
Meng Ge was hula eating noodles, and when Meng Mao dragged him, he looked at him with a mouthful of noodles.
Meng Mao stretched out his little finger and pointed in the direction of the shopkeeper, but did not speak. But his somewhat evasive eyes were telling Meng Mao that he was a little scared.
Meng Ge hurriedly swallowed the noodles in his mouth twice, and turned his head to look at the shopkeeper.
Just like Meng Mao's reaction, Meng Ge was startled by the shopkeeper's overly eager eyes.
"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, we have never eaten such delicious noodles, so it is a little unsightly. Hehe" Meng Ge thought that the shopkeeper was looking at them gobbling up, and he looked stupid.
On the side, Xiao Er, who was waiting for Meng Ge and them to respond to the herbal matter, saw that Meng Ge's focus was wrong, so he reminded: "Our shopkeeper must have heard that you have herbs, so he was overjoyed." Tell me what herbs you have, we accept everything here. ā
After listening to Xiao Er's explanation, Meng Ge asked the shopkeeper tentatively: "Shopkeeper, do you really accept herbs here?"
The shopkeeper got up from behind the counter and nodded eagerly: "Accept it, any herb." ā
Only then did Meng Ge touch Meng Mao's face comfortingly, urging him: "Eat noodles quickly, let's go to the town to sell furs after eating." ā
Xiao Er saw that Meng Ge didn't answer again, so he turned his head and asked Yu Yang: "What herbs do you have, where are they, let us take a look." We promise to give you the most fair price. ā
Yu Yang glanced at Meng Ge, and when he saw her nodding, he said, "Nacheng, when we finish eating noodles, I'll have a good talk with you." ā
Some of those herbs were rolled in the skin by Meng Ge, some were in the two small bags on Meng Mao's back, and some were in Yu Yang's back basket.
"Hi, Nacheng, then you eat noodles first, eat noodles first!" Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, and stood aside in a daze and motioned for Meng Ge and the three to eat noodles.
The shopkeeper was not in a hurry, but the others still turned out from behind the counter and stood at the door of the store, looking up at the sky.
The sky outside was fine and the sun was mild. It had rained a few days before they went down the mountain, and the sun had been very good these days.
Xiao Er waited for a few people to eat noodles and waited anxiously, so he simply turned back, brought out a plate of small fried, a small packet of candied fruit, and a pot of tea, and put it on Meng Ge's table, waiting while eating.
Seeing this, Meng Ge instantly felt bad. How can this little second brother be treated so well?
The shopkeeper walked in from the door, sat down on the bench next to Xiao Er, reached out and poured a cup of tea, and also ate small fried.
After Meng Ge and the three of them had eaten the noodles, Xiao Er quickly received the dishes and chopsticks to the table next to him, and he couldn't wait for Meng Ge to take out the herbs.
Meng Ge had no choice but to let Yu Yang put things out first. In Yu Yang's back basket, in addition to some common hemostatic drugs such as crane grass, baiji, and elm, there are also anti-inflammatory herbs such as forsythia, bupleurum, and coptis.
In addition, there is a relatively large He Shou Wu, as well as two small mountain ginseng. Among them, Codonopsis, Salvia or something, are not young or old.
"Well, these herbs are good, they are a little rougher, but they don't affect the efficacy. There are also these body-tonifying medicines, which are really rare. The shopkeeper sighed as he looked through the large bag of herbs.
"You have also seen the herbs, I don't know what price you give?" Meng Ge didn't know anything about the current market, and taking out those herbs was just throwing stones and asking for directions.
"This, this, what do you think is the right price?" the shopkeeper thought for a moment, and then threw the question back to Menggo.
Meng Ge and the three were completely ignorant, and shook their heads blankly: "We don't know." Didn't this little brother say that what you are giving is the fairest price? No, I'll leave it to you. ā
It means that it is up to the shopkeeper to bid, but whether to sell or not is still up to Meng Ge and them.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er looked at each other for a while, and Xiao Er suddenly got up and said, "Wait, I'll call my mother out." ā
Seeing Xiao Er running back in a hurry, Meng Ge and the three of them were a little baffled.
"Shopkeeper, do you need the shopkeeper to make an idea about these things?" In fact, Meng Ge could see at a glance that the shopkeeper and Xiaoer were father and son.
The shopkeeper glanced at Meng Ge in surprise, and then stroked his beard very casually: "The insider is more proficient in general affairs, and it is better for her to have ideas about these things." ā
Seeing Yu Yang looking at him with soft eyes, the shopkeeper explained: "Lady, she always goes out to buy things, and she knows more about prices. ā
However, such an explanation made Yu Yang sit on the shopkeeper's view of eating soft law. Therefore, Yu Yang said arrogantly: "The shopkeeper is really a heroine among women." ā
After hearing this, the shopkeeper's hand shook and pulled off a few whiskers. Just as he was about to explain again, there was movement in the back hall.
"I heard that a baby came to sell medicinal herbs, where is it?" The woman's hearty and clear voice pierced through the partition wall and knocked into the ears of the Meng Ge siblings.
Once upon a time, there was also such a voice, which sounded in that courtyard, calling the siblings home.
Yu Yang also thought that it was that person who appeared, so he also turned his gaze to the exit of the back hall with the Meng Ge sisters and brothers, waiting for the arrival of the voice owner.
For a long time, none of the three of them had heard anything else.
In the past two years, every day, apart from the conversation between Meng Ge and Yu Yang, they could only listen to the roars of beasts, insects and birds, and the sounds of wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
