"The little girl doesn't know the price, but the old man has made a price, so don't regret it."
"Hehe, please make a bid, you are a good friend of the old man, you have lost others, and we can't lose it."
"Haha, you little girl will really take advantage of the situation to pull the relationship."
"What the little girl said is not, you old horseman, you are a loss to others, and you can also lose the old man's guests." The old man also joked with his friend.
"Yes, if you don't give a satisfactory price today, the old man won't want to walk out of this courtyard."
"Haha......" Several people laughed instantly. Yang Yun took the opportunity to ask the surnames of the two old men, the Confucian merchant was called Song Ancheng, and the little boy's grandfather was called Kong Zhongkan, and the little boy's name was Kong Tianyou. Yang Yun also introduced herself and Yang Yong's origins to the two old people.
Yang Yun and Yang Yong had a good conversation with the two old people. In the end, the Confucian merchant offered a price of sixty yuan per catty to buy Yang Yun's burdock tea, and Yang Yun was very satisfied with this price.
Today Yang Yun and they ran a few pharmacies, plus saved the little boy, and when this time is over, it is almost dark, there is no way to go to Zhoujia Village to pull goods today, Yang Yun and Song Ancheng agreed, the next day they sent a carriage to Zhoujia Village to pull goods, Yang Yun also left an address, and finally declined Kong Zhongkan's kindness to invite servants and drive them back to Zhoujia Village. Yang Yun doesn't want to be in the limelight today, otherwise she will become the headline of Zhoujia Village tomorrow.
Yang Yun and Yang Yong hurried back to Zhoujia Village, and after the brother and sister returned to Zhoujia Village, they went directly to Dr. Xu's house, and told Dr. Xu that someone would come to pick up the goods tomorrow, and the burdock tea was sold for sixty wen a catty, and Dr. Xu was very happy. Yang Yun asked Dr. Xu to pack up all the other herbs, and at that time, Yang Yun also asked the Confucian merchant if he would buy other herbs, and the Confucian merchant said that he would come over tomorrow to see which herbs were suitable for sale in Jiangnan, and he would also buy them together. The two Yang Yun brothers and sisters helped Dr. Xu pack all the herbs in the courtyard before rushing home for dinner.
Back at home, it was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers, and Yang Yun and Yang Yong ate a belated dinner hungry. After the meal, Yang Yun explained everything to her grandfather and grandmother today, and scared her grandmother so much that she hugged Yang Yun, saying that she was too bold, and she was still concerned about whether Yang Yun was injured or not. Yang Yun decided to hide anything thrilling from her grandmother in the future, of course, Yang Yun herself didn't want to experience this kind of thrilling thing again. Grandpa didn't pursue Yang Yun's loss of two taels of silver, Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, grandpa cared most about herself.
The next day, Yang Yun and Yang Yong and Yang Xuan's brothers and sisters ran to Grandpa Xu's house early in the morning to help with the herbs, it was too dark last night, and some herbs had not had time to be bagged, and burdock tea still had fifty catties of corner materials, which may not be sold for sixty pounds a catty. At first, when the burdock tea was in the bag, Yang Yun and Dr. Xu picked out these poor quality corners.
"Brother, don't tie this bag of Yin Chen's herbs tightly for a while."
"If you don't tie it tightly, won't the herbs leak out when you send it to the carriage?" Yang Yong was very puzzled by Yang Yun's request.
"I just want it to leak out, and when Grandpa Song comes over to get the herbs, my brother is responsible for carrying this bag of Yinchen herbs that are not tied tightly. When the herbs are loaded into the wagon, you deliberately throw the herbs on the ground, revealing the contents inside. β
"Sister, why are you doing so much? Why should good herbs fall to the ground? β
"Stupid brother, don't you want to talk about it, Grandpa Song will let people drive a few carriages to pull burdock tea, and the people in Jiajia Village will not all come out to see the excitement this week. Let's point out Yin Chenlu, so that we can deceive them and make them believe that we usually go to the mountains and pick ordinary herbs. If this is not the case, with such a large formation today, it is difficult to guarantee that the people of Zhoujia Village will not suspect that we have dug something good on the mountain. β
"You have a lot of ideas, and I'll listen to my sister in a while." Yang Yong is still very convinced of his sister's cleverness.
The three brothers and sisters were busy for a while, Li Dabao and their brothers also came, and Yang Yun told them that someone would come to pull the goods for burdock tea today, and they should pay attention to confidentiality for a while. The five of them tacitly did their own thing.
At the third hour of the hour, Song Ancheng brought three carriages to Zhoujia Village, Yang Yun was at the door of Dr. Xu's house, and saw his grandfather from a distance, and he came over with Song Ancheng. Yang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and only then did he walk to the side of the horse, except for seeing Song Ancheng, he actually saw Kong Zhongkan and Kong Tianyou walking out of the carriage.
"Grandpa Kong didn't expect you to come too, and Xiao Tianyou also came."
"Why, Yun girl doesn't welcome the old man."
"If you say anything, Xiao Yun is not happy yet, you and Grandpa Song are invited to the house, and Xiao Tianyou." Yang Yun invited Song Ancheng and them to sit in the hall of Dr. Xu's house.
"Sister, you lied to Tianyou yesterday, and you left without waiting for Tianyou." Before entering the hall, Kong Tianyou settled the account with Yang Yun.
"You little villain, you slept for a long time yesterday, and I didn't see you wake up when it was dark, and my sister was going home after dark, so of course I left first."
"That's right, it's not right."
"Sister didn't blame Xiao Tianyou, you sit first, and my sister will help you make tea." Yang Yun and Kong Tianyou communicate in official dialect and Jiangnan dialect, although the scene is very weird, it does not hinder the communication between the two. Yang Yun saluted the two old men, and went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea, Yang Yun helped them make burdock tea, and Dr. Xu's family had no other tea to entertain.
Yang Yun boiled tea, just after Dr. Xu came out of the pharmacy, he went to the hall with Yang Yun and the two of them to entertain guests, who knew that Yang Yun and Dr. Xu had just walked into the hall, and Kong Zhongkan suddenly stood up, walked a few steps in front of Dr. Xu, and made a peer salute to Dr. Xu, and then called Dr. Xu "Imperial Doctor Xu".
When Yang Yun heard these three words, she felt that the sky was thundering, and in the poor countryside of Zhoujia Village, there was even an imperial doctor, although she had suspected that Dr. Xu's identity was not simple, who knew that it was such an identity.
"This master, you have recognized the wrong person, there is only someone here, who is the foot doctor, where is the imperial doctor."
"Haha, everything in the past has long since changed, but the old man himself is haunted." Yang Yun listened to the conversation between the two old men, confused.
"Yun girl, take Grandpa Song to see your fried burdock tea." Song Ancheng deliberately wanted to avoid it, and wanted to leave the hall to two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time to talk about.
"Okay, Xiao Yun will take you to have a look, Xiao Tianyou you come with your sister, and your sister will take you out to play." Yang Yun put down the tea, took Song Ancheng and Kong Tianyou out, and left the hall to Dr. Xu and them to talk about things.
Yang Yun took Song Ancheng to sit under a wisteria stand in the courtyard, Yang Yun helped Song Ancheng make a cup of burdock tea again, and Kong Tianyou Yang Yun directly asked Yang Xuan and Xiaobao to play with him, Yang Xuan can speak official dialect, although he can't understand Jiangnan dialect, but the children always have their own way of getting along.
And Yang Yun's grandfather accompanied Song Ancheng to sit in the courtyard, during which Yang Yun took out some sun-dried herbs from Dr. Xu's house and showed them to Song Ancheng, and finally Song Ancheng picked a few herbs that could be sold in Jiangnan and asked the servants to load them directly into the carriage. Of course, Chen Yin's flavor herb Song Ancheng also picked it, and Yang Yong deliberately dropped Yin Chen to the ground when he helped move the herbs as Yang Yun explained earlier.
Yang Yun is very satisfied with this result, so that the burdock cabbage on the mountain will not be discovered by the villagers, and Yang Yun can go to the mountain to transplant it back when she wants to plant it in the future. The burdock tea in Dr. Xu's house, Song Ancheng asked the servant to weigh it, and the quality was more than 530 catties, and finally Yang Yun told Song Ancheng that it was sold for the whole number of 500, and the remaining 30 catties were left for a few families to taste on weekdays. There are also fifty catties of corner materials, and Song Ancheng also bought twenty catties of one catty.
In the end, when Yang Yun settled accounts with Song Ancheng, he received a total of thirty-six taels of silver, of which thirty-one taels were for selling burdock tea, and the other five taels of silver were for selling other herbs of Dr. Xu's family. After Song Ancheng paid the money, he let the two carriages carrying the herbs go back to the inn in the town first, while Song Ancheng's carriage stayed in Zhoujia Village, waiting for them to go back later.
Yang Yun looked at the hour and it was approaching noon, and Dr. Xu chatted in the house for a long time and still didn't come out.
"Grandpa Song, why don't you stay here with Grandpa Kong to eat at noon, it's almost noon, Xiao Yun's family will only cook some farm dishes, you don't dislike it, Xiao Yun will cook the table at noon for you to taste."
"Haha, Yun girl's suggestion is very fond of the old man, the old man and Brother Kong, although this way is to buy medicinal materials, but most of the time they are traveling in the mountains and rivers, taste the food everywhere, Yun girl will go to prepare, stay here to eat at noon."
"Okay, you sit down first, and Xiao Yun will go and prepare."
"You go and get busy, the old man is also going into the house to accompany Brother Kong and them, they should finish talking for a long time."
After Song Ancheng finished talking to Yang Yun, he went directly into the hall, and Yang Yun hurriedly went to find Yang Yong and them, and after loading the herbs in the morning, Yang Yong took Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou out to play. When Kong Tianyou came over today, he was accompanied by a small servant, and when the two cars were sent back immediately, the little guy asked Song Ancheng to rush back, and Kong Tianyou didn't need a small guy to accompany Yang Xuan here.
Yang Yun called back Yang Yong and them, and arranged tasks for them, Li Dabao and Yang Yong went to the river to fish, Yang Xuan and Xiaobao took Kong Tianyou to pick a few vegetables in the vegetable garden, and on the vegetable field in the back mountain, the leeks were already able to eat. Yang Yun went back to Yang's house to catch a chicken, and asked her grandfather to help kill the chicken, preparing to make an original white-cut chicken. (To be continued.) )
