Chapter 10: Trivia (1)

"Brother Dashan is here, I haven't been here for a long time." As soon as Zhang Dashan walked into the Xinglin Pharmacy, the shopkeeper Qi, who had a goatee and half-white hair and a smile on his face, put down the medicinal materials in his hand and said hello.

"Hehe, it's not like it's okay to come and bother you," Zhang Dashan also teased. In Zhang Xiaojie's opinion, Zhang Dashan, who is honest and doesn't like to talk, can't think of it, and he will be quite good at it.

"Yo, what's going on today? Come, let's talk inside" As soon as the shopkeeper Qi heard Zhang Dashan say that, he knew that there must be something good, and after looking at the guests who were grabbing medicine in the pharmacy, he immediately opened the curtain and let Zhang Dashan go inside to talk. After all, in the past, Zhang Dashan often exchanged medicinal materials for money, and once brought ginseng, ginseng is rare in this small place, and the bell doctor who taught Zhang Dashan to understand medicine also has some friendship.

Zhang Dashan smiled and didn't answer, and walked straight inside. As soon as he sat down, Zhang Dashan didn't care about the tea poured by the shopkeeper Qi, so he took out the wrapped gastrodia from his chest.

"This is a ghost, it's such a big one, but the mountain has a good thing. Wait for me to take a closer look. The shopkeeper Qi waited for Zhang Dashan to open it, then picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said while looking at it.

Zhang Dashan heard the shopkeeper Qi's praise as a good thing, and he also smiled and waited for the shopkeeper Qi.

"Dashan's Tianma is in good condition, and the medicinal properties are well preserved," Qi shopkeeper looked at it and continued, "This is green gastrodia, Dashan, you are green gastrodia," Speaking of this, Qi's shopkeeper was a little surprised.

You must know that although it is located in the southwest and there is gastrodia, but there is less gastrodia itself, not to mention the least common green gastrodia, which is stronger but milder, Qi feels that it is very good luck to harvest green gastrodia today, after all, it is a good price to take this thing to Yizhou for such a size.

"Then, since Shopkeeper Qi said that it was a good thing, then I won't say anything, you can give a good price and accept it." When Zhang Dashan heard that this was a rare good variety of gastrodia, he knew that the price could not be low, so he couldn't help but say higher.

"Hey, you kid has learned this trick, you know I won't cheat you, right?" said Shopkeeper Qi, touching his precious goatee.

"Shopkeeper Qi is the same generation as the master, so naturally he won't deceive me as a junior." Zhang Dashan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile.

"I'm not as old as your master, I'm only here this year" The shopkeeper Qi glanced at Zhang Dashan, "Okay, this will be counted as ten taels of silver for you, and you will be exchanged for broken silver and copper coins." “

"Then thank you for the shopkeeper Qi," Zhang Dashan rubbed his hands and hurriedly said, "You can exchange half a copper coin for me, and the rest will be exchanged for broken silver, please excuse me." “

The shopkeeper Qi took the gastrodia and took Zhang Dashan out, "Okay, there are good things to remember my apricot forest in the future, now in this world, I am more and more afraid of death, the golden and expensive medicinal materials are now rushing to get it, if it weren't for my legs and feet, I would also like to go to collect medicine" The shopkeeper Qi seemed to complain a little.

"Shopkeeper Qi, don't toss it, don't worry, I will definitely send you good medicinal materials here." Zhang Dashan saw that the young man who heard the words of the shopkeeper Qi looked at himself with a bitter face and said.

"Well, that's what you promised. Recently, Dendrobium has been a lot worse, you have time to pick some. As soon as the shopkeeper Qi heard that Zhang Dashan agreed, he immediately said.

"Shopkeeper Qi, this dendrobium is fairy grass, as you said, it looks like the vegetables in your own vegetable garden, where can you pick it." Now it was Zhang Dashan's turn to frown, Zhang Dashan frowned and looked at the shopkeeper Qi with two thick eyebrows.

"You kid, I just told you to pay attention to see if there is any." Shopkeeper Qi took the money bag from the little guy who had just looked at Zhang Dashan with a bitter face and handed it to Zhang Dashan.

"Okay, shopkeeper Qi, then I'll go back first" Zhang Dashan took the money bag, immediately stuffed it into his arms, pressed his clothes tightly, and didn't open it to see, one is to believe in Qi's shopkeeper, and the other is that the wealth is not exposed, after all, this is the first time Zhang Dashan has gotten so much money.

Last time, the ginseng was only six taels of silver, and his hands were shaking for a long time, and he was laughed at by the shopkeeper Qi. This time, Zhang Dashan pretended to be calm and turned around and went out, but he almost tripped over the threshold in a place that was quite familiar, but fortunately Zhang Dashan stabilized in time, and saw that no one was paying attention to the surroundings and went out of the door of the Xinglin Pharmacy.

Standing on the bustling street, listening to the shouts from everywhere, Zhang Dashan thought that he would also be a person with a lot of money in the future, and when he went back, he sent the stone to a private school, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the happy place.

It's just that the people on the road are a little surprised when they pass by, and I'm afraid they're stupid to laugh like this when they just came out of the pharmacy.

Zhang Dashan came back to his senses after being looked at by passers-by for a while, looked around again, went forward, and walked about seventy or eighty meters to the Wang Ji blacksmith shop.

The signboard is hung high, it looks very magnificent, in fact, Zhang Dashan doesn't know how to read, just listen to people call to know the name, two or three guys in the store are busy, and there is only this blacksmith shop in the whole town, or because the shopkeeper is the head catcher father in this town.

The fire was burning in the stove at the corner of the street, and the big man next to him was wearing only a single coat in this weather, and he used a hammer to hit the iron block in his hand.

After looking at it, Zhang Dashan still walked in......

Zhang Dashan silently walked to the side of the hoe, and a young man who looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old in gray vertical brown immediately asked, "Guest officer, do you want to buy a hoe?" The hoe is in demand these days, and this one was only hit the day before yesterday, so you can take it back and use it accurately. “

The young man opened his mouth and said a string, but he didn't say what Zhang Dashan wanted to know, Zhang Dashan could only ask, "How many copper coins does this hoe have now?" ”

"Look at you, it's still the same price, two hundred Wen, this price hasn't changed." The young man looked at Zhang Dashan's clothes and knew that he was an authentic farmer.

"This ...... Okay, then you've got to get it right, I'll take it right away. Zhang Dashan thought that there was only half of the hoe left at home and gritted his teeth to buy it, after all, he couldn't buy nothing, so he would definitely ask about the good things in the village, and everyone was busy turning the ground and waiting for the seeds to be sown these days.

Holding the newly bought hoe, Zhang Dashan walked home happily, and when he was about to leave the market in the town, he suddenly heard someone selling caramel candy.

"Selling caramel syrup, caramel syrup, sweet and fragrant caramel syrup, a penny and a big piece," the crisp cry reached Zhang Dashan's ears, and Zhang Dashan remembered that he still had to bring sugar to Xiaojie and them, so he turned his head and took out a penny and bought a large piece of yellow caramel candy.

On the way back, Zhang Dashan carried a hoe and was vigilant from time to time, but he didn't dare to show the slightest, pretending to touch the candy and touching the silver in his arms from time to time, trembling all the way......

Ps1: Currency exchange: 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 taels of copper = 10,000 copper coins.

Ps2: During the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, grain was five wen and one bucket, and after inflation, it was 10 wen and one bucket.
