The genius was bright, and Xia Qingyun and Xia Huayun went out with a bamboo basket on their backs.

Beixi Village is located in a mountainous area, and it takes more than an hour to reach Dongchuan Town.

In the early morning, the mountains are shrouded in a layer of mist, and crystal dew drops hang on the branches and blades of grass like strings of transparent pearls.

It had rained lightly last night, and the ground was very muddy, and walking barefoot on it made a gurgling sound.

Hua Yun saw that his sister's back basket was the same as his own, and it was also empty, so he asked a little puzzled: "Sister, what are we going to sell?" ”

Xia Qingyun smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Crossing the mountain beam in front of Beixi Village, the number of pedestrians on the official road gradually increased. From time to time, a few ox carts pass by. It can be seen that most of the people went to the town to catch the polder.

The transportation in the mountainous area is not very convenient, and the sale and circulation of materials are mainly carried out through the polders of Dongchuan Town three times a month.

When we arrived in the town, the shops on both sides of the street had just opened, and the people who were rushing to the market placed their goods on the side of the street, waiting for the buyer to arrive.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people, Xia Qingyun led his younger brother around the town.

Dongchuan Town is a fortress town in the southwest, so it is much larger than several other towns in the vicinity.

The whole town is centered around the fang market, and eight main streets radiate out from all sides, and each street is connected by alleys.

Each of these eight main streets has its own characteristics, such as Fengcang Street, which mainly sells grain, oil and miscellaneous goods, Anping Street, which is lined with cloth shops and tailors, Wenqu Street, which sells pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and various books, and Yusheng Street, where blacksmiths and silversmiths shop each other. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, wine shops and inns are all available. Only I didn't see the teahouse that was common in my previous life.

Xia Qingyun's heart was a little drumming, isn't it that people here don't like to drink tea? If so, that's not good.

No matter how good the tea is, if there is no market, it will be a pearl covered with dust, red gold and soil, and it is difficult to earn the corresponding money.

She really wanted to ask a big family, but seeing that she and her brother were dressed in shabby clothes and barefoot, it was estimated that they would not even let them in.

If you really can't do it, sell the snake gall first, exchange it for a few dollars, and buy some seasonings. When I go home, I catch more bullfrogs and make delicious bullfrog meat to sell at the polder, although the money is slow, but it is better than no income. It's just hard to say if you can make up two taels of silver in a month.

Thinking in her heart, she and her brother returned to Fang City and found a sunny place to sit and bask in the sun.

As the sun rises, more and more people come to the market, and the polder market is lively.

The guys in the shops put their things outside the shop, and the streets were lined with dazzling colors.

The stalls in the middle of the street are crowded with people, one by one.

The shouting, bargaining, the cries of chickens and ducks, and the neighing of piglets are mixed together, and it is very lively.

The younger brother Hua Yun stretched his neck and looked at it, he had been in the countryside for a long time, and when he came to the bustling town at first glance, he felt fresh to see everything.

Xia Qingyun stood up, she made up her mind to go to the pharmacy in the town to ask if they accepted snake gall bladder.

At this moment, there was a gong sound at the end of the market, and someone shouted: "Folks! Folks, the Huangfu family urgently needs a fresh snake gall of the bamboo leaf green snake, and the people who are interested in it come quickly! ”

After that, he rang the gong in his hand again, and walked towards this side as he knocked.

Xia Qingyun was overjoyed, God favored him, didn't he just have the snake gall of a bamboo leaf green snake.

Although it has been several days since she took it off, she has been keeping it in the Zài Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, and after she removed the snake gall bladder, she has firmly tied the bile duct to prevent the bile from flowing out, and now the snake gall is still fresh and full.

The sound of the gong approached. Xia Qingyun saw through the crowd that walking in front was a little brother who looked like a family, carrying a yellow and clear gong in his hand, shouting loudly while knocking. Behind him was a middle-aged man, wearing a blue robe, with a slightly gray beard, a modest face, and a very elegant temperament.

She pulled Hua Yun and separated the crowd, and just wanted to step forward, but saw a man with a medicine basket on his back stop the two and said, "This lord, I have bamboo leaves, green snakes, snake gallbladders here." ”

As he spoke, he put down the medicine basket, took out an oiled paper bag from it, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the oil paper bag, opened it and looked at it, with a disappointed expression on his face, and said: "This folk, what I need is fresh snake gall, you have been concocting this for some time, right?" ”

The man nodded and said, "Fresh snake gall is extremely difficult to preserve, I specially collect medicine in the mountains, and this snake gall was also found by chance last month, and it was concocted with wine in order to prevent it from rotting." However, most of the medicinal effects are still preserved, so they should be usable. ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, if you can't find fresh snake gall bladder, maybe this can be done, then I'll accept it first." He took out a silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to the man who bought the medicine, "This is ten taels of silver, you take it." ”

The medicine buyer weighed the silver ingot, smiled like a flower with the wrinkles on his face, and said continuously: "Thank you, master!" Thank you, sir! ”

"Wow, the Huangfu family is really generous, a snake gall is worth ten taels of silver!"

"That's right, I knew that I would also go up the mountain to look for it, Zhu Yeqing is not a highly poisonous snake, it is not difficult to catch it."

"Oops! I also saw a bamboo leaf green on the road this morning, if only I caught it! ”

The onlookers next to him were talking and looked at the man selling medicine with envy.

Xia Qingyun frowned and pulled Hua Yun out of the crowd. She didn't want to sell the snake gall to the Huangfu family in full view.

The concocted snake gall is worth ten taels of silver, so is this fresh one in your hand more valuable?

There are many people in the polder, and if you are targeted by the gangsters, you will be in trouble. Since ancient times, wealth has not been exposed, and it is better to be careful.

The middle-aged man took the snake gall and did not leave immediately, obviously not very satisfied. He continued to walk around the polder with his little brother.

Xia Qingyun's sister and brother followed them silently from a distance.

After turning for more than an hour, the middle-aged man finally gave up his search and walked towards the Juren Alley where nobles lived in the north of the town.

As the name suggests, Juren Lane mostly seeks official positions after winning the lift, and selects the north side of the town with good feng shui to build a mansion. Most of the rich and powerful eunuchs in the town lived in this alley.

The passers-by here are noticeably better dressed than in other places, in silk and satin, and even the people are dressed in fine fine muslin clothes.

Walking into the alley, the two sisters and brothers were covered in patches, and their barefoot appearance was very abrupt.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of a vermilion lacquer gate in the depths of the alley and was about to step in. Suddenly, someone behind me shouted, "This master, please stay." ”

He followed the sound and saw a young girl with a bamboo basket on her shoulder running towards him. The clothes on their bodies were covered with puddings, and they were barefoot, and at first glance they knew that they were children of poor families.

The girl ran to him, gasped and said, "This lord, do you want to collect fresh bamboo leaves and green snake gall?" ”

The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, "Exactly, girl?" ”

Xia Qingyun stepped forward with the cloth bag in his hand and said, "I have fresh bamboo leaves and green snake gall here, do you think it is suitable?" ”

The middle-aged man took the cloth bag and opened it, and said in surprise: "Not bad!" Exactly what I was looking for. Girl, please come in and speak with me. ”

Xia Qingyun pulled his younger brother and walked in after him.

The courtyard of the big family is really extraordinary, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden among all kinds of flowers and trees, the courtyard is built with the landscape of small bridges and flowing water, the green bamboo is swaying, the plum is swaying, it is very quiet and elegant.

Xia Huayun entered the rich and noble house for the first time, clenched his fists nervously, and followed behind with his head down. After walking for a while, he saw his sister looking around leisurely, and felt that he was very childish, so he mustered up the courage to learn from his sister's demeanor and walked with his chest up and his head up.

The middle-aged man took them to a small courtyard, let them sit down in the hall, instructed his subordinates to serve tea, and said to Xia Qingyun: "Girl, take a moment, wait for me to go and hand over the snake gall to Lang Zhong first, and go back when I go." ”

Xia Qingyun smiled faintly, "Sir, please go, we are not in a hurry." ”

When there was no one in the house, Xia Huayun whispered to her sister: "Sister, you are really amazing, I was dazzled when I came in." Look, hands are covered with sweat. ”

Xia Qingyun looked at his younger brother and said seriously: "Huayun, people and people should be equal, no matter whether they are rich or poor, their personalities are the same. We cannot bully the poor with the rich, and we must not feel inferior because of poverty. We have hands and feet, as long as we are not lazy, we can live a good life with abundant food and clothing. ”

"Sister, I remember." Xia Huayun nodded, keeping her sister's words firmly in her heart. Many years later, whenever he thought of this scene, he always said with emotion that without his sister, there would be no Xia Huayun today.

Xia Qingyun picked up the tea cup on the table, lifted the lid of the cup and took a closer look, and saw that the tea soup was dark brown and smelled faint of grass. She took a sip, and the taste was bitter and slightly sweet, much like the big-leaf bitter tea in her previous life.

Although it is not a good tea, it proves that there are still people who drink tea here. Since this is the case, she is confident that she can sell her superb white peony at a good price.

After a while, the middle-aged man walked in with a smile on his face, followed by a small servant, who was holding a tray in his hand, on which were placed a full five ingots of silver and shining ingots.

"Girl, I can't hide it, because the young master of Huangfu suddenly fell seriously ill and urgently needed bamboo leaf green snake snake gall to make medicine, and he searched everywhere to no avail, so he went to the polder to look for it. By the way, I am the housekeeper Huang Fuzheng, dare to ask the girl's name? ”

Xia Qingyun saw that his words were modest and polite, and he did not discriminate in any way because he was poorly dressed, and his good feelings increased greatly.

Hurriedly got up and bowed, and said, "I am Xia Qingyun from Beixi Village, which makes my younger brother Xia Huayun. Snake gall can come in handy, that is the emperor's family is profound. ”

When Huangfu heard this, he looked Xia Qingyun up and down, and saw that although this girl was in shabby clothes, she had a pretty face with red lips and white teeth, delicate and lovely, and she was calm and calm, her words were moderate, and she had the demeanor of a lady, and she couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

He laughed, "The girl is really good at talking. Here are fifty taels of silver, and please smile at the girl. ”

Xia Qingyun glanced at the silver ingot, and was not in a hurry to take it, but smiled and said, "The little girl has something to ask the Pope's butler, I don't know if it should be?" ”
