Chapter 32 The Shopkeeper Lady

As if in a lifetime, Meng Ge and the three of them waited for what seemed to be a century before the owner of the voice lifted the curtain and walked out of it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a slightly chubby woman, not very tall, with no powder on her goose egg face, but white and red. The face inlaid with delicate facial features, even if it is over thirty years old, it has not left many traces of time.

Although the woman was slightly fat, her body was very well-proportioned. The plump body is full of style, and every step is amorous.

The woman had a smile on her face and a small dimple on both cheeks. Above his tall and small nose, a pair of slightly raised big Dan phoenix eyes reminded Meng Ge of an animal-cat.

The shopkeeper also opened the curtain and came out, dragging a small cloth bag in his hand. He walked beside the woman, holding her carefully, fearing that she would stumble and fall.

"Okay, okay, it's not a porcelain doll, what can you do if you touch it. The woman glanced at the shopkeeper, but the smile on the corner of her mouth widened.

The shopkeeper also smiled and said, "Mother, I'm not worried that my sister will be knocked by you." It's been so many years, and I've been waiting for my sister for a long time. ”

"Ji'er, don't be poor, help your mother sit down. The shopkeeper gave a rare good look and nodded to the woman with a smile.

The woman's eyelids flashed slightly, and she lowered her head slightly, and she was rarely shy.

The shopkeeper led the woman to the table of the three Meng Ge sisters and brothers and sat down before putting the cloth bag on the table.

"I've heard that you have very good herbs for sale, don't you?" the woman frowned slightly as she looked at the three people who were staring at her blankly.

The shopkeeper sat down next to the woman, and when he saw Meng Ge and the others staring at his mother with dull expressions, he knocked on the table very dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, what are you looking at, you're back to your soul." My mother is as beautiful as a fairy, and that is also my mother. ”

After the shopkeeper made trouble, Meng Ge took the lead in coming back to his senses. Meng Mao's eyes were still flashing, staring at the woman without blinking his eyes.

Yu Yang also came back to his senses, and then lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the woman first raised her eyebrows and glanced at Meng Ge, and then laughed and said, "These children, there are few people." Don't be nervous, I'm just an ordinary person. ”

Meng Ge bowed his head, and his heart flashed with loss. Except for the voice, the woman did not have the shadow of Wan Qi at all.

No, the woman's way of acting still has a little shadow of Wan Qi's family.

Meng Ge sighed, looked up and pushed the cloth bag in front of him, and said, "This lady, this is the herb we are going to sell, you can see what price you can give." ”

At this time, Meng Mao suddenly reached out and grabbed Meng Ge's hand, tears flashing in his eyes. Probably, Meng Mao also realized that this woman could never be Wan Qi's.

Meng Ge reached out and patted Meng Mao's little head with pity, rubbed his little face, and said, "When we find a place to settle down, we will go and pick up my father and mother." When the time comes, I will accompany you to see them every day. ”

Meng Mao rarely did not cry, but nodded firmly.

The woman's hand inspecting the herbs was stunned after listening to Meng Ge's words, and then she also looked at Meng Mao with pity and said, "Little baby, your father and mother have always been by your side and watched you, don't be sad?"

As she spoke, she was about to burst into tears. The shopkeeper looked anxious on the side, so he stepped forward and patted her on the back to comfort: "Madame, don't be sad first, save yourself a crying bag later." ”

"Yes, mother, if you give birth to a sister who can only cry, I won't help you bring it. The shopkeeper pouted slightly in protest.

was stirred up by the father and son, and the woman instantly burst into tears and laughed: "You father and son, how can you say that you are daughters all day long before they are born." If I give birth to a son, will you two give it away?"

The woman glared at the father and son, who looked at each other, before continuing to look through the herbs. "Your herbs are very good, and they are very rare. It's just a little rougher, but fortunately it doesn't affect the efficacy. At last the woman said the same thing as the treasurer.

"What is the price of these herbs? We have just come out of the mountain, and we don't know what the market is going on outside. "Mengo's attitude is rare sincere.

She really liked the woman, even though they were profiteers. Even if she ran to the woman's voice that was indistinguishable from Wan Qi's, she was willing to be pitted by them.

"Actually, there is a lot of chaos out there now, and there are people rebelling everywhere. In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the imperial court has been empty. Our common people are living in dire straits, and it is also very difficult. Now, apart from grain and herbs, and cotton fabric, which can be sold for a price, almost no one wants to buy anything else. The salt is even more frighteningly expensive. When the woman had finished speaking, she reached out and put a candied fruit in her mouth.

"Why is it so scary? I thought that the outside of the mountain was better than the inside of the mountain, so I took my brother out and planned to find a place to settle down. Meng Ge was a little apprehensive, not knowing whether he should continue to hide back in the mountains.

"Hey, that's the chaos created by people who can't survive. In the past two years, we have been able to live here quite smoothly, and it is safe to live here. The shopkeeper quickly continued.

"There is Zhao Jiajun here to protect him, and he is quite safe. Local officials, however, are not so good. So, if you really want to stay, you have to be prepared to be taxed. The shopkeeper spit out the kernel and said.

"I see. I still thought that I could buy a few more acres of land, so that I could earn some money for a few years. Meng Ge was frightened, for this world, but also for the future life.

"It's good to tending to the land, but there may not be much to produce. Add to that all kinds of taxes, and you're likely to go hungry in the future. But looking at your hunting skills, you should not be hungry. The shopkeeper said.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about herbs, how did we get to farming. Seeing that they had deviated from the main point, the shopkeeper pulled the topic back.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at what we say. Since you can trust our store, we will naturally give you the fairest price. Among your herbs, except for these two small mountain ginseng sticks, which are more valuable, the others are not very valuable. In this way, we bought ginseng for five taels each. The rest of the salvia, codonopsis, sand ginseng or something, just talk about catties and two, what is the market price, we will give what price, how?" the woman said.

Meng Ge summed it up and felt that the price was acceptable. In addition, this world is not good, and it is fortunate that things can be sold, so I nodded and agreed.

"Now that we have agreed, shall we begin to weigh and calculate?" the woman asked the three of them in a loud voice.

Yes, she not only asked Meng Ge, but also signaled to Yu Yang and Meng Mao.

"Cheng, we all listen to the eldest brother. Yu Yang finally didn't call the wrong name again.

Meng Mao also nodded hurriedly, his hands under the table were a little tangled, and his eyes flashed with some longing when he looked at the woman.

In the end, when all the packets of herbs were shipped, Meng Ge had nearly sixteen taels of silver on his body.
