Chapter 8 Selling Frog Oil
When the three of them came to the door of the Wang Family Medical Center, they found that it was not the appearance of the Gaomen compound, but a two-story building facing the street. The door on the first floor is completely open, allowing you to see clearly inside. Originally, Ling'er was worried that there were too many people, and the doctor was too busy to pay attention to her, but now looking at this situation, she can't help but put her mind at ease. She didn't want to think about it, this ancient person was not like now, and he wouldn't go to the hospital to see a doctor. If the local big families will send people to invite doctors, and there will not be many patients in this place, after all, the traffic in this era cannot be compared with the present.
"May I ask my aunt, what is the matter with you?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy saw Ling'er dressed as a civilian, holding a bucket and basket in his hand. He neither walked forward nor went in the door, but only looked inside. In desperation, he had to go out to ask each other, although the people rarely came to his family medical center, but the ancestral teachings of the family made them not to ignore the people.
"Yes, we are looking for Dr. Wang, the owner of the medical hall." Ling'er glanced at Aunt Zhang and found that she was nervous, so she had to speak.
"You're looking for my grandfather? See a doctor? "The young man's grandfather is the eldest son of the envoy of the year, that is, Wang Kun, the head of this generation, of course, everyone calls him Dr. Wang. It's not that he doesn't respect him, but he himself asks for it. People naturally listen to him, and you must know that anyone who has the ability must have some quirks.
"Well, we don't see a doctor. Finding his old man is a big matter of life, please help me introduce him. Aunt Zhang was secretly pinched by Min'er quietly before she came back to her senses, and Ling'er who saw these in her eyes didn't feel funny. It seems that Min'er has a lot of potential and should be cultivated well.
"This? Okay, please wait inside, I'll come as soon as I go. "The young man said in his heart, which one is looking for grandpa who is not a matter of human life? But looking at them really doesn't look like seeing a doctor, so if you can't figure it out, let grandpa think about it.
After a while, the boy led the three of them to the wing room in the backyard and asked them to wait patiently. After serving the tea, they left, leaving only the three of them looking at each other.
"What do they mean? Do you see it or not? The three of them didn't drink any water all the way, and the sun was about to dry them, and it took them three pots to feel alive.
"Auntie, don't worry, maybe there is a patient." Min'er was also anxious, but it was useless to be anxious now, so she could only wait patiently. Just as the three of them were waiting anxiously, they saw an old man with white hair walking towards them. Ling'er guessed that this should be Dr. Wang, but he was a little chubby, with snow-white hair and a ruddy face. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a doctor, but like a businessman in a TV series.
"I heard, you're looking for a family?" The old man said to the three of them very kindly, and he was not polite and sat directly on the upper seat.
"Doctor Wang, the woman is a villager from Hongsongtun, and she came today to ......" Aunt Zhang began to be nervous from the appearance of the old man, and her lips trembled. Min'er's situation is not much better, Ling'er really can't understand what there is to be nervous about, and she was about to speak. But it was Min'er who stepped forward and stood in front of Ling'er, she thought that Ling'er was as nervous as them.
"Doctor Wang, Grandpa Wang, we came to ask if you want to buy our frog oil?" Min'er's heart was beating a drum, and she gritted her teeth after she finished speaking, afraid that her heart would jump out of her mouth. She is afraid, but she has to hold on, she is an older sister and wants to protect her younger sister. Ling'er knew that the important thing was Lin Frog Oil now, but she just couldn't help being moved by the ten-year-old young lady in front of her. In the past, she only thought she was a sensible child, but now she has the feeling that this is her sister, and she forced her tears to step forward and take her sister's hand and added:
"Because we are in a hurry to use the money, the frog oil is fresh, and it can be dried in three or five days, and the effect will not be affected." Think about it or add another sentence:
"It's just that the appearance is a little worse......" finally said completely unconfident, the old man kept staring at them and didn't react at all, which made her wonder, don't people in this era recognize Lin frog oil? What if so? She doesn't have time to promote it little by little.
In fact, Ling'er's worries are completely unnecessary. Dr. Wang didn't speak, not because he didn't recognize this thing, but because he was stunned. You must know that this forest frog oil is a very valuable medicinal material, and Dr. Wang was shocked not by its preciousness, but by the fresh frog oil that this little doll said. I think I have a lot of resources, but there is no forest frog. The reason why he met him was when he was in the Tai Hospital with his father, which was a national gift from Linguo for Emperor He Xian's accession to the throne.
"You mean you have forest frogs in Hongsongtun?" Ling'er saw the old man's excited appearance, and the big stone in her heart was half lowered. I didn't know what the old man meant, so he nodded and said:
"Yes, but there aren't many of them." Ling'er unconsciously glanced at Aunt Zhang, but fortunately, Aunt Zhang had no abnormality on her face. In fact, in Hongsongtun, there are a lot of forest frogs, Ling'er said this just to talk about the price, and she had already discussed it with Aunt Zhang and the others before entering the town. The old man listened, nodded and said:
"Since there are not many of them, otherwise no one will know, I have forest frogs in Xing'an, but I went to Linguo to buy them. Can you show the old man your frog oil? Ling'er and the others hurriedly took out the bags of frog oil wrapped in big leaves in the basket and gently spread them on the tea table next to the old man. They had been careful and careful, but they still lost some of them, but fortunately most of them were fine.
"Originally, the frog should be dried before taking oil, but the sudden change in the family and the urgent need for silver taels will make this decision, and I don't know how much the price of such a frog is?" Aunt Zhang stepped forward to salute and said what Ling'er had confessed. All three of them stared at the old man's face, as if they could see the flowers, and saw the old man's scalp tingling.
"If this frog oil is dry, a penny is two taels of silver. But yours is fresh, and the quality is poor, so naturally the price is lower. But don't worry, I'll give you a fair price, and what do you think of a penny being a tael or two pieces of silver? Dare to ask, I don't know what happened, so you are in such a hurry? You know, in less than five days, these things will be sold for two or two dollars. Listening to the old man's words, the three of them burst into tears, even Ling'er. The big stone in their hearts finally landed, and the one they brought was about a catty, even if it was worth a hundred taels no matter how bad it was. Then their problems are all solved at once, can this not make the three of them cry with joy?
Later, after Aunt Zhang got the consent of the sisters, she briefly explained the things in Ling'er's family. Hearing this, the old man sighed, and hurriedly called the medicine boy to weigh it, and the result was one pound and seven coins, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver. Ling'er said that he wanted seven silver tickets of ten taels, and the rest was broken silver. The old man asked the medicine boy to take seven silver tickets of ten taels and eighty taels of broken silver, and put them all in their baskets. It was a good push, and the three of them saw that they really shirked it, but they reluctantly accepted it. They didn't want to take advantage of other people's sympathy, but they had to give up seeing the old man so persistent, and anyway, they would have the opportunity to thank the old man.
Aunt Zhang looked at so much silver, and she was a little confused for a while. I didn't expect this frog oil to be so valuable? One hundred and fifty taels, not to mention that she hasn't seen it, even the most knowledgeable village chief in the village hasn't seen it either. You must know that the best fertile land is five taels of silver per acre, and the young and middle-aged cattle are seventeen or eighteen taels, which is the courtyard of the town, which is one hundred or ten taels, plus ...... Aunt Zhang's heart was not calm, and she decided to follow the Ling'er sisters to earn money together in the future. I have to say that Aunt Zhang is really kind and simple. She didn't think about doing it herself, in her cognition, it was Ling'er's way to find it, so this way is Ling'er's.
I saw Ling'er pat his head, and quickly poured the bucket of forest frogs that had taken the oil and the rest of the basket on the ground. )
"Xiao Ling'er, what are you doing here?" Seeing this, Ling'er remembered to explain the situation, only to see her smile and say:
"Grandpa Wang, don't worry, this is a good thing. The stew with potatoes is fragrant, and it is also a tonic, and you gave us more money, and we can't let you lose too much. We'll be upset in that way, so these are for you. "Ling'er automatically promoted Dr. Wang to Grandpa Wang, the old man is very good, he will still cooperate in the future, and it is quite necessary to have a good relationship first.
"Even if it's eating, it's too much, there must be more than a hundred, and if you can't eat it all, you'll be blind." The old man was very moved, and the people in the village were simple. (Blind: the meaning of waste in the Northeast dialect)
"Hehe, who made you stew it all at once, I've already washed it. You will dry them in the sun, and as long as they are not damp, they can be left for a long time, and they will be soaked and stewed until you want to eat them. As he spoke, he deliberately made a greedy expression, not to mention how rare that small appearance was. Seeing that the old man was still talking, he hurriedly interrupted:
"You can take it, or we will have a lot of trouble. Besides, I still have a lot of them at home, if you want to eat, I'll send them to you, and you don't need money for the frogs that take the oil. (Dejin: Northeast dialect, comfortable meaning.) After speaking, she stuck out her tongue naughtily, and Ling'er, who was trying to sell cute, was full of goosebumps all over her body, and if the old man didn't let her go, she would not be able to collapse.
"Oh, good, good, good. I took it, I took it. The old man even said a few good things, and he liked these two sensible children even more.
