Chapter 10 Buying Ginseng
Su Wei returned to the inn from the back door, Cuiqin's advance money had been used up, and he had paid for a few days. After making such a lot of money today, Su Wei decided to go to see the house tomorrow, and the total guest house is not cost-effective!
In the past few days, I have been busy with the past, and as soon as I touched the bed, Su Wei fell asleep deeply.
The next day, Su Wei got up early in the morning, sat in the lobby and ate breakfast, listening to the people at the next table talking about last night's events.
"I heard that last night, Miss Shui Yao of Yixiang Courtyard sold five thousand taels of silver overnight!" A big man said exaggeratedly.
The other person obviously didn't believe it, and said in a cut voice: "Five thousand taels, you're joking!" That Shui Yao is a native of Lao Zhuhuang, who is willing to spend so much money! ”
Another person laughed and teased: "That's it, take five thousand taels of silver to buy a person's old pearl old **?" Who has so much money and no place to burn! ”
The first big man saw that the two brothers didn't believe him, and sneered: "Look at your eyesight, don't believe it, I saw it with my own eyes last night!" Now Miss Shui Yao's worth has risen, and she has become the top brand of Yixiang Courtyard! In my opinion, it won't be long before we become the Oiran of our southern city! After speaking, the people around who heard this big man's words all looked over. Want to know what happened to Yeikkain last night?
One of them echoed and asked the big man, "Oh? Are you serious? Tell us about it! ”
The people around him were staring at the big man curiously, wanting to hear what was going on from his mouth!
Dahan held his chest high, complacent about his decision to go to Yixiangyuan last night.
Seeing that everyone was waiting impatiently, Dahan coughed slightly, and then slowly told him what happened last night.
The whole hall was surprised, although they didn't see the graceful dance, but last night's song came out, and it became popular all over the country.
The people who didn't go last night all sighed in frustration.
Su Wei listened to the breakfast quietly, and a smile appeared in his mouth. Very happy mood!
Today, I want to go to Shui Yao to get my share of silver, and then go to Jin Niang to bring her the drawings I have drawn in the past two days.
When I came to Yixiangyuan, the mess left behind after last night's excitement has not been cleaned up! Last night, because of Shui Yao's butterfly effect, Yixiangyuan made a lot of money, although it was not as good as Shui Yao's overnight silver, but the profit of this day was definitely very considerable.
Early in the morning, many girls in Yixiang Courtyard have not yet gotten up, and some are still doing early morning exercises.
Cuiqin took Su Weiwei to another room where no one was around, Su Weiwei smiled dumbly, it seemed that he had come at a bad time.
When half a cup of tea was held, Shui Yao's red face was late. The face is shy, and the spring breeze is undisguised between actions.
Shui Yao went straight to the point, took out a silver ticket of three thousand taels from her arms and pushed it on the table in front of Su Weiwei, and said with a smile and some resentment: "Miss Su, do you think this silver ticket is enough?"
Su was stunned, I don't know if it was the previous sentence or the last sentence, I thought about it. Shui Yao lingered in this land of fireworks, dancing so closely with herself last night, how could she not find out that she was a woman.
Su Weiwei took the silver ticket in his hand with a smile, ignoring Shui Yao's resentment: "Enough." After all, Shui Yao still has to keep the money to help the others, for this stage, Shui Yao has almost spent the hundreds of taels of silver she has saved. I still have dozens of taels of broken silver on my body, it can't be too much, isn't it!
Shui Yao couldn't get angry in Su's only smiling face. Rolling his eyes, he said coquettishly: "Miss Su is really strict!" If I hadn't found out, how long would Miss Su plan to hide it? Thinking that she actually had thoughts about Su Jin at the beginning, Shui Yao was a little panicked. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned, but he didn't come out.
Su Wei smiled, as if he didn't hear Shui Yao's complaining and teasing: "Of course, it's until you find out!" I didn't expect Miss Shui Yao to be so discerning and discerning, and she recognized me at a glance! I admire it to the extreme! ”
After the joke, Su Wei said solemnly: "Miss Shui Yao, whether I am a man or a woman, I still hope that you will promise me something or don't forget!" Su Wei has to give Shui Yao a reminder, during this time, he and Shui Yao are close, it is inevitable that some people will remember, thinking of the chase just now, it is better to be safe! If those people knew they were still alive, Su Wei frowned.
"Of course I know! Rest assured, girl! Shui Yao nodded solemnly.
This Shui Yao is not too stupid, but in order to avoid some situations, it is better not to contact Shui Yao in the future.
"Miss Shui Yao, since our cooperation has been completed, let's leave next!" Su Wei said goodbye to Shui Yao.
Shui Yao naturally didn't want Su Wei to leave, but after several times of retention, Su Wei had a resolute attitude, Shui Yao couldn't do it, and she felt infinite regret in her heart.
Saying goodbye to Shui Yao, Su Wei walked around the street and was not in a hurry to go to the Splendid Pavilion.
In a small corner of the street, an old man in his fifties sat on the ground, wearing a coarse linen coat with many patches on his clothes. Wearing a straw hat and straw sandals, the soles of the shoes are surrounded by mud, the palms and lips are a little chapped, the trouser legs and sleeves are rolled up, revealing the lean calves and arms, and the shriveled face, which looks like malnutrition after long-term work.
The most striking thing is not his outfit, but a few thin hay plants on the ground.
There were a few people around who looked strange, and Su Weiwei stepped forward and squatted in front of the stall.
He asked with a smile, "Grandpa, what are you?"
The old man looked at Su Weiwei with cloudy eyes, pink and tender, which little boy should it be: "This is ginseng."
Su Wei looked at the ginseng like hay on the ground, and didn't wait for Su Wei to speak. The people around laughed and said, "Old man Fan, your thin withered grass is also called ginseng?" Let's lie to the kids! ”
Old man Fan explained angrily: "I'm really ginseng, if it weren't for my grandson's money for medical treatment, I wouldn't have sold it!"
The man who had just spoken replied: "If you want this to be really ginseng, you can directly use this ginseng to offset the medicine money!" You must be deceiving, and the doctor won't accept it! After saying that, everyone nodded reasonably. If it's really ginseng, you can just take it to the pharmacy, why set up a stall here!
Old man Fan's face turned red with anger, he snorted twice, squirmed his mouth, and said for a long time: "Anyway, I'm ginseng!"
Old man Fan went up the mountain two days ago to dig up these small ginseng plants, and originally planned to sell them for money, but his grandson had a cold, and the family had no savings, so he wanted to use ginseng to offset the medicine money, but the pharmacy thought that the ginseng was too small and did not accept it. I have no choice but to set up a stall here to see if anyone wants it!
Old man Fan sat on the ground, looking depressed, helpless, and worried.
Su Wei picked up a ginseng plant and played with it in his hand, only a small ginseng as long as his palm, the thickness of his little finger, the roots were stained with uncleaned soil, and it looked shriveled and shriveled without any nutritional value!
"Grandpa, how do you sell this ginseng?"
Old man Fan was stunned for a second, he didn't expect this little baby to buy it, and his excited voice was a little unfavorable: "Five, five taels of silver, five taels of silver."
The few people watching the excitement around didn't expect that this little boy would really want to buy this withered ginseng.
"Five taels of silver, Old Man Fan, you are crazy about money!" A big man yelled in disbelief.
An uncle saw that Su Wei was not very old, and said kindly: "Little boy, this ginseng is not of much use to buy, five taels of silver, you might as well go to the pharmacy and buy some good ginseng tablets!"
Su Wei raised a smile at the uncle: "Thank you, uncle, but I want this ginseng!"
The uncle saw that Su Wei was so stubborn, and he couldn't say anything, so he sighed and said, "You little boy, you really don't take money as money!"
Su Wei took out five taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Old Man Fan.
Old man Fan excitedly stretched out his trembling hands and held the five taels of silver tightly. He nervously glanced at the few people around him, for fear that someone would come up and rob him.
Su Wei took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped three ginseng plants in it!
Of course, Su Wei would not be so stupid to spend five taels of silver to buy three useless ginseng plants. Although this ginseng looks dead, there is still water in the roots, and Su only wants to try if he can revive this ginseng if he uses the water in the small pool.
The people around saw that there was no excitement and then looked, and they all dispersed.
Su Wei pretended to put the ginseng into his sleeve, and in a blink of an eye, the ginseng entered the red lotus space.
