69 Chapter 69
Gu Manniang carried the prey she hunted on her back and held Niuniu in her hand. And Tang Tiezhu was carrying ginseng in his arms and Tang Xiaobao on his back. The family of four hit the road together.
Gu Manniang and Tang Tiezhu are adults, and they are used to this journey. On the way, I listened to Tang Xiaobao and Niuniu ask from the east and ask from the west, and soon entered the town.
The purpose of their entry into the town was very clear, one was to sell the prey that Gu Manniang had hunted, and the other was to sell ginseng. And this ginseng is obviously the most important.
"Let's sell this prey first, and then go to the pharmacy to sell ginseng." Gu Manniang came to the town and made a decision directly.
Although Tang Tiezhu really wanted to sell the ginseng on his body immediately, since Gu Manniang had spoken, he couldn't object.
"If you don't want to delay, you can go to the pharmacy by yourself." Gu Manniang saw that Tang Tiezhu was a little unhappy, so she continued.
"No, I'd better go with you and sell the prey first."
Since Tang Tiezhu agreed, Gu Manniang took Tang Tiezhu and them towards the restaurant in the town.
What I didn't expect was that what I waited for Gu Manniang was bad news.
"Don't send prey over every day in the future, our shop is small, if you send prey over like this every day, we won't be able to sell it at all." The shopkeeper of the restaurant told Gu Manniang like this.
This result is simply the same as the Lin family. Gu Manniang originally thought that even if she couldn't find another way to make money, she would be a hunter and have income every day. But unexpectedly, it was broken again.
"We have a small restaurant in town, and you hunt a lot of prey every day, so we can't consume so much here. If you don't bother, you can take your prey to the city and try it. When your prey arrives in Fucheng, it's nothing at all. The shopkeeper has been cooperating with Gu Manniang for a while, and kindly pointed out a clear way for Gu Manniang.
Knowing that it was the shopkeeper's kindness, Gu Manniang hurriedly thanked the shopkeeper.
If she goes to Fucheng to send prey or something, Gu Manniang will naturally not be idle. Gu Manniang's main concern is that like those large restaurants, there must be fixed delivery people, and people like her come to the door unexpectedly, plus she is a woman, others will definitely not be willing to change to another family.
Gu Manniang has another worry, this city is definitely farther away than coming here. In the past, the game that was brought from the mountains on the same day could be brought to the town and sold on the same day. But if you want to go to Fucheng, you can't do it like before.
In this case, hunting will not be able to be done as before. Gotta try to catch it alive. Otherwise, in the current weather, the dead prey suddenly goes bad, and the living creature must be caught. In this way, the hunting skills must be improved.
In the past, when hunting, Gu Manniang relied on great strength. This strength has become greater, and this courage has also become greater. She had no skills at all when hunting. When you go into the mountains, you can hit the prey, or because others are timid, no one has ever entered the mountains to fight, and there are many prey. She'll reap the rewards. Otherwise, with her skills, she would be able to catch some prey.
The most important thing now is to practice her hunting skills, otherwise if she wants to go to Fucheng to deliver prey, it will only be when she dreams at night.
After taking the account with the shopkeeper, Gu Manniang and they walked out.
"Manniang, let's send the prey to the city in the future." Tang Tiezhu's face now no longer has the happy look he had just now.
Today, I was lucky enough to dig up a ginseng, which was originally a good thing. But I didn't expect to receive this bad news now. Now with Gu Manniang's appetite, Tang Tiezhu thought about it in his heart, with his current ability, I am afraid that he will not be able to support Gu Manniang.
If Gu Manniang knew what Tang Tiezhu was thinking, Gu Manniang would definitely tell him that she would support herself and not need him to support her. However, if Gu Manniang really knew what Tang Tiezhu was thinking, she would definitely feel a little relieved.
In the past, when something happened to Tang Tiezhu, the first thing he thought of was to help his wife and two brothers solve it. Although he still has no ability as before, the first thing he thinks about now is whether he has the ability to support Gu Manniang, rather than shirking responsibility. That's a little bit of progress.
"I'll talk about this later, but now I'm going to sell your ginseng." I'll talk about it later, but the most important thing for now is to sell the ginseng first.
Tang Tiezhu saw that Gu Manniang didn't want to say more, so he closed his mouth.
"Sugar gourd, delicious rock sugar gourd."
Gu Manniang saw that there were sugar gourds for sale, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop the sugar gourd seller. "Boss, how do you sell this sugar gourd?"
"A penny for a string, a couple of strings."
Gu Manniang directly scooped up ten cents and came out, "Give me ten strings." ”
"Okay, I'll give dozens of strings to the guest right away." Gu Manniang bought ten strings, which can be regarded as a big deal for those who sell rock sugar gourds. As soon as he heard Gu Manniang say to buy ten strings, his face was about to bloom with laughter.
took the rock sugar gourd and gave the money. Gu Manniang and Tang Tiezhu went to the pharmacy again.
"Manniang, why do you buy so much as soon as you buy it." Tang Tiezhu saw that Gu Manniang spent ten cents to buy a sugar gourd, and he felt a little distressed about the copper plate.
Gu Manniang glanced at Tang Tiezhu, "When I paid off your gambling debts, I was willing to pay back more than thirty taels of silver, but now I am reluctant to spend ten cents to buy sugar gourds for the two children." ”
Gu Manniang almost pointed at Tang Tiezhu and scolded, you, as a father, are willing to take the silver out to lose, but now you are reluctant to spend more than a dozen dollars to buy some sugar gourds for your children to eat, you are not sorry.
Tang Tiezhu was originally afraid of Gu Manniang, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he couldn't help but be sneering on his face, and he didn't dare to talk back to Gu Manniang at all.
Gu Manniang saw that he didn't dare to talk back, so she snorted coldly. "Xiaobao, Niuniu, my mother bought you so many sugar gourds today, okay for the two of you to eat?"
When Tang Xiaobao heard that these sugar gourds were all for him and Niuniu, his eyes immediately lit up. However, when he saw that his mother had been looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Mother, there are so many sugar gourds, my sister and I will definitely not be able to eat them, when we go back, we will take some for Brother Shi and Sister Da Niu to eat, okay?" ”
Tang Xiaobao is really very smart, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately changed his words.
When Gu Manniang heard this, she couldn't help but sigh. Bright kids are loved by everyone. But Tang Xiaobao, a child, was spoiled by Mrs. Tang before. Now that she is pressing, Tang Xiaobao is not as domineering as before. But it became very slippery...... I became such a slippery head at a young age, I don't know what I will become when I grow up?
What is still the way to go? Gu Manniang is not the kind of person who sighs because of what will happen in the future, let's talk about it later. All she wants to do now is to raise these two children well. As for the future, let's save it for the future.
"Naturally." As she spoke, Gu Manniang took out two strings of sugar gourds and gave them to each of the two children.
At this time, Tang Tiezhu didn't dare to express his opinion casually, lest he say the wrong thing and be said by Gu Manniang again.
Gu Manniang and her entourage came to the largest pharmacy in the town, and Gu Manniang, the medicine against snakes, insects, rats and ants, was bought in this pharmacy.
"Are you here to see a doctor? Or grab the medicine? As soon as the guy in the pharmacy saw Gu Manniang and them, he stepped forward and asked.
"We are not here to see a doctor, nor are we here to get medicine......"
Before Tang Tiezhu's words were finished, this guy's face immediately sank. Is this here to play with him? I came to the pharmacy to see a doctor, and I didn't come to grab medicine. What's not playing with him?
"Are you shopkeepers again? I'm here to sell good stuff. Tang Tiezhu finally said the purpose of his coming here.
As soon as the man heard that Tang Tiezhu was here to find the shopkeeper, he looked Tang Tiezhu and them up and down, and saw that they were dressed like most poor people, but they said something good in front of him. As poor as he is, what good things will there be?
However, no matter what the man thought in his heart, he still went in and called the shopkeeper out. The shopkeeper was an old man with a white beard.
"I heard that the two of you have something good to sell to the old man, I don't know what kind of good thing it is?" As soon as the shopkeeper came, he went straight to the point and talked to Tang Tiezhu.
Tang Tiezhu knew that he could be the master of the house, so he carefully took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth. After the ginseng was dug home, Tang Tiezhu found a piece of cloth to wrap it.
So what the shopkeeper saw was that Tang Tiezhu took something wrapped in cloth, and seeing this, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but become much more serious. After Tang Tiezhu took the cloth out and revealed the ginseng inside, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "You are ginseng?" ”
"The shopkeeper has a good eye." Tang Tiezhu praised with a smile.
The shopkeeper ignored Tang Tiezhu, but took the ginseng directly from Tang Tiezhu's hand. He took it carefully in his hand and looked at it carefully. "You dug up this ginseng?"
"Naturally, we dug it." Isn't that a bate? When they come to sell ginseng, they naturally dig it up, so it is difficult to go to others to grab it.
The shopkeeper nodded knowingly, "Your ginseng is only about twenty years old, and this year is not high, so the price will naturally not be very high." The shopkeeper was honest, and then said, "However, young man, you didn't hurt the roots of this ginseng when you dug it, and the price is naturally higher than that of those who hurt the roots." ”
"Look at the treasurer, how much silver my ginseng is worth." Tang Tiezhu asked anxiously. Because his friend accidentally injured the root of the ginseng when digging ginseng, the pharmacy gave a few taels of silver at that time. Tang Tiezhu had seen this with his own eyes, so when he was digging ginseng, he was very careful at that time.
"I'll give you twenty taels of silver."
Gu Manniang didn't understand the price, so Gu Manniang kept standing aside and watching quietly, without saying a word.
Tang Tiezhu glanced at Gu Manniang and saw that Gu Manniang had not spoken. Tang Tiezhu then spoke, "Can you add a little more silver?" ”
The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and then said, "Okay, I'll take over the good karma, and I'll give you an extra tael of silver." ”
Twenty-one taels of silver, Tang Tiezhu thought about it for a while, and then nodded and agreed to sell the ginseng.
