Chapter 4: Unexpected Surprises
It was another sunny day, and everyone was busy digging for a few days, thanks to God. The sun has been shining in the past few days, and the Yin Chen that was picked at the beginning has been dried, and Li Yujin, as the eldest brother, has to go to the town to sell medicinal herbs.
Originally, Li Hui was not allowed to go, but he couldn't stop Li Hui's coquettishness, "Big brother, just let me go, I haven't been to the town yet?"
"I'll take you next time, this time I'm going to sell something, and besides, it's going to take more than an hour to get to town." Li Yujin explained helplessly.
"I don't, I have to go, I won't drag everyone down, I can go by myself." Li Hui dragged Li Yujin's sleeve and shook it back and forth, twisting it around constantly. An expression that she would not give up if she was not allowed to go. In fact, she was afraid that she would not be deceived, and the medicinal herbs would not sell at a good price. It's good that I'm an adult, so I won't be deceived.
"Okay, okay, I can't help you, but when the time comes, you have to be obedient and buy you candy to eat after selling the money." Li Yujin thought to herself, if Li Hui really couldn't walk at that time, she and Li Yucheng would take turns carrying her, and the little sister didn't sink much anyway.
Li Hui rolled her eyes in her heart, she really thought she was a child, and she bought candy to eat, it was all to coax a little child!
"Brother Cheng, let's go, let's go early and come back early."
"Okay, Brother Lobby."
So, the group of three set off and rushed to the town. Due to something going to town, the three of them did not stop on the road, and when they arrived in the town, it was about midday.
The prosperity of the town is indeed not comparable to that of the village. As soon as you enter the town, you will feel a strong lively atmosphere, and the vendors along the street are shouting and selling in order to attract more people to patronize you. There are vegetable sellers, fish sellers, meat sellers, steamed bun sellers, candy kneaders, and so on.
Walking through the dazzling stalls, the group of three went straight to the southernmost Ping'an Pharmacy in the town, there are three large pharmacies in the town, one is Heshun Pharmacy and the other is Wei's Pharmacy. However, Heshun Pharmacy and Wei's Pharmacy do not have a good reputation of Ping An Pharmacy, Ping An Pharmacy is a century-old store, Tong Su is not bullied, and often does some good deeds, compared to Heshun Pharmacy is much inferior. It is newly opened, because there are county magistrates as relatives, so they often do some things to bully the common people, and often trick people. And Wei's Pharmacy is mediocre, with neither outstanding results nor a conscience.
So Li Yujin preferred Ping An Pharmacy, there was a long queue in Ping An Pharmacy, and the old doctor took the pulse of one of them seriously, frowning and thinking for a while, contemplating and holding his breath for a while, and finally said, "Your illness is not a big deal, I will prescribe you a few flavored medicines, go back and fry three bowls of water into a bowl, and drink it for seven days." Then he gave the prescription to the young man and told him to grab it.
Seeing that everyone was busy and really didn't have time to take care of themselves, Li Anjin had no choice but to grab a young man and ask, "This little brother, may I ask you to collect medicinal herbs?" ”
"Then you have to go to the back hall, there is a special person in charge of collecting medicinal herbs, you go in through that door." The guy pointed to the doorway on the left.
"Thank you." Li Yujin took Li Yucheng and Li Hui to the door on the left, and after entering, he found that this was still a cave, this was a large courtyard, and the rows of shelves were full of all kinds of medicinal herbs, and an old man was seriously turning over the sun.
Li Yujin walked over and asked, "Grandpa, are you here to collect medicinal herbs?" ”
"Yes, lad, are you going to sell it? Let me see what herbs you are carrying? ”
Li Yujin hurriedly beckoned Li Yucheng to bring the sack over and hand it to the old man.
The old man took the bag, took it out, pinched it, sniffed it again, and said, "Young man, you have handled it well, this season is a good time to pick, not only can it be used in medicine, but it is also very good for the body to eat wild vegetables, and you can usually soak yourself in water and drink." ”
"Well, thank you, grandfather, how do you see us selling this?"
"Call me Grandpa Wang! This Yin Chen wet is ten cents a catty, and the drying is thirty a catty, which is the price of good condition, and the bad color may be cheaper, you I think this is good, just charge it at this price. Old man Wang explained.
Li Hui thought that the price was okay, but of course it was not as good as modern times, according to the current five cents for a penny, that is, fifteen yuan a catty, this is simply a clearance and loss of money sale.
But Li Yujin has already agreed. "Thank you so much, Grandpa Wang." Li Yujin really didn't expect to be able to sell it at this price, originally he was thinking about whether he could sell it, and if he couldn't sell it, he should play with his little sister and them. It was a pleasant surprise. If it weren't for being the grandson of the eldest grandson of the long house, who is usually a role model for the younger brothers and younger sisters, Li Yujin would have broken his success a long time ago.
Li Yucheng was equally excited. It's all over the mountains, and if everyone in the family digs it, it can dig a lot, and then it can earn a lot.
Grandpa Wang weighed the weight of the medicinal herbs, "Young man, your total is twenty catties and three taels, a total of six hundred and nine dollars, you can go with me to the shopkeeper to get the money!" ”
After Li Yujin, Li Yucheng and Li Hui received the money, they walked out of the door of the pharmacy in a daze.
