Chapter 112: Entering the City to Sell Medicine

With Xiao Mai following, Xia Hou was more at ease, but he still instructed again, and even said to Xia Zhongtan: "If your sister-in-law and the third girl are missing a hair, don't come back to see me!"

Xia Zhongtan patted his chest and promised: "Dad, you and your eldest brother can rest assured!"

The reason why Xiao Mai wants to go with a bunch of female relatives is because the buds he planted are actually more than those of other people's, and even dozens of ears are complete and full of grains, and those that don't look good can be kept at home to eat, this good Xiao Mai wants to go into the city and sell it in exchange for other food, for example, if he can buy a bag of brown sugar for his mother and wife to make up, he is not busy in vain.

With Xiao Mai going with him, Xia Zhongtan was also very happy, otherwise he was the only man among a bunch of women, how could he be embarrassed.

The total number of people who went was two men and seven women, and the carriages that came to pick them up were two, "It just so happens that I am also going into the city to sell vegetables, so I want to go with you and take care of each other." "This extra one is driven by Master Yuan.

Xia Zhongtan and Xiao Mai knew who was taking care of whom, and thanked them gratefully, thanks and thanked, with Master Yuan's carriage, they didn't have to bother to take turns on the front of the carriage or on foot...... The three people sitting in front of the carriage were unstable.

"The land near Changlong County is still good, once it is born and twice it is ripe, and when you will farm next year, you will be able to get a bumper harvest, and the good days are ahead!" Master Yuan encouraged the two young people while driving the carriage.

"To borrow your old auspicious words. Xia Zhong said with a smile, after his third sister cured the old lung disease of Master Yuan's father and son, Master Yuan sent things to the Xia family to guide them on how to work.

"The work in the field is not difficult to do, and when you get acquainted with it, you don't have to stay in the field all day, and then find some odd jobs to do, the young man is so strong, it is absolutely no problem to support his wife and children." "Master Yuan, this is from experience, his family is not, he has a house, a car and a land, and his life is not worrying.

Xia Zhongtan and Xiao Mai smiled bitterly at each other, they are useless scholars, they can't even plant the land well, do they have the ability to do anything else?

"Uncle, do you know what odd jobs we can do?" Although Xiao Mai was not confident but didn't want to give up, what if he didn't try his family, thinking that Sister Gui couldn't even eat a bowl of noodles, Qiao's ran all over the village and then to the neighboring village, his legs were swollen, and his heart was sour.

"Yes, when the spring begins next year, there are people in our village and Liutang who want to marry their daughters-in-law to build new houses, and they are in need of manpower, and they will be paid for the wine and food, especially in Liutang, you should know, the rice grown there is oil, and the whole village is richer, and they work there, and there is meat in the meals, and if you want to work there, I will introduce you to them. "Master Yuan has acquaintances in all parts of the country.

There is meat...... Xiao Mai couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard this word, how happy he would be if he could bring a few pieces of meat to his wife and two children, Xia Zhongtan was also tempted, the bacon and sausage he ate before was given by his second sister, and now he eats it from his third sister to see a doctor, and what about him, his wife has no milk when she gives birth to a child, and he can't do anything but worry!

"Uncle Yuan, I'm willing to go!" Xiao Mai and Xia Zhongtan said in unison.

Taking a carriage into the city is much faster than walking, they arrived at a long time, seeing that there was still more than an hour before lunch, Master Yuan and his relatives took Xiao Mai to find a place to sell vegetables, Xia Zhongtan carried a bag of medicinal herbs to show the way for the female dependents: "I came to the county seat before, I was selling medicine in Baorentang, and I remember that there is a cloth village next to Baorentang." ”

It's more convenient on one road, Xia Lily wants to talk to Xia Zhong about going to the pharmacy to have a look, You Shi and Qiao's They go to Buzhuang first, and when Xia Lily brothers and sisters finish selling the medicine, they will come to look for them, and then everyone will go to Xiao Mai and them for lunch.

"Is the owner of Baorentang surnamed Huang?" Xia Lihe still remembered that Huang Douliang, the old man she met in Qian Chunyan, was not the owner of Baorentang, and there would not be two Baorentang in a county, right?

Xia Zhongtan also heard his sister say that it was Qian Chunyan who had an accident when he drank Baorentang's ginger candy and jujube soup, and it was Mama Zhou who asked Xia Lily to see a doctor, "I haven't seen the owner of Baorentang, it was their counter gentleman who said that your medicinal materials are handled well, and you are a skilled hand, and he will accept everything you pick in the future." ”

The gentlemen of Bao Ren Tang are so knowledgeable, and Xia Zhongtan has always had a very good impression of them.

Of course, the medicinal materials she made are family heirlooms, "familiar hands" is not an exaggeration, the Xia family only thinks that Xia Lily is ingenious and self-taught, but Xia Lily knows that Baorentang is really a master, and she has always wanted to see it with her own eyes and ask for advice.

"Huh, it's much more deserted here than before?" Xia Zhongtan couldn't help but wonder as soon as he entered the store, every time he came before, Baorentang had business, and those who asked for medical treatment took medicine, and sometimes there was a carriage at the door to invite Lang Zhong from the store to go to the clinic, and Baorentang was very large, the windows were bright and clean, and it was bright, but today was not a cloudy day, and there were few people in the store, why was it so dark?

Xia Lily saw the key at a glance, the pharmacy pays attention to cleanliness and hygiene, here the windows, medicine cabinets, tables and chairs are a layer of thin ash, and there is less dust on the floor, no wonder no customers come to the door.

There was only a young man standing at the table in front of the medicine cabinet, half-leaning against the medicine cabinet, and no one came in to greet him, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Xia Zhongtan spoke first: "May I ask the people from Baorentang?"

"Don't you have eyes? The man opened his eyes unhappily, as if he had been woken up.

Can you sleep while working?Xia Zhongtan was still unhappy with his attitude: "What about Mr. Xu?Why isn't he here?"

"There's nothing Mr. Xu here!" replied the fellow impatiently.

"How come?" Xia Zhongtan went out to see that the plaque outside clearly wrote "Baorentang", and then came in again, "I didn't look for the wrong place, this is Baorentang?"

"Excuse me, of course this is Bao Ren Tang, but I didn't say anything Mr. Xu, what the hell are you doing, don't buy medicine and leave quickly, don't disturb our business!"

Xia Zhongtan felt very shameless, he brought his sister over to prove that he was capable and could sell the medicinal materials that his sister had worked so hard to pick at a good price, but today somehow Mr. Xu, who greeted him warmly in the past, was not there, and neither were the other Langzhong guys he knew, but this guy he didn't know was arrogant and rude.

"We're here to sell medicinal herbs. Xia Zhongtan put the burden on the table and untied it, he didn't forget the first time he came to sell medicinal materials, and as soon as the medicinal materials appeared, several Lang Zhong came around, Mr. Xu applauded while looking at it, he wanted to deter this young man.
