Go to the county seat
Dad, it's still early, let's go to the county town to buy it. Yu Xin walked forward with her father and spoke to her father in a low voice. Daddy is also smart and quickly understands the connection.
"Brother, what's the price of your carriage in the county." Coming to the place where the carriage was riding, the old man asked the coachman.
"Brother, if you wait for someone to sit together, 12 wen per person, if you charter a car, 130 wen for one trip, 200 wen for each trip." The coachman did not discriminate against Yuxin's family because they wore patched clothes.
"Uncle, let's charter your carriage to go to the county seat, one trip." Yu Xin was afraid that Dad would have to wait for everyone to gather before leaving, and it would not be the Year of the Monkey.
"Let's go. Baby, hurry up, let's hurry up. "Daddy spoke when Uncle Carriage asked him for advice.
Along the way, the carriage sped forward, and the green fields beside the road fell backwards. Although the weather was still a little cold, there were already farmers toiling in the fields on both sides of the road.
More than an hour later, Yu Xin finally saw the city tower with the name plate of Hengshui County, and when he arrived at the city gate, the coachman greeted the soldiers guarding the city, and paid a few pennies to enter the city. This place is a bit like a lateral, long-distance bus station. The coachman told them that they were going to take a car on the way back, so they came here to find him.
On the road, I have asked the coachman clearly, the county is divided into four streets, east, west, north and south, the address of the county pharmacy, knowing that there are Tong Ren Tang, Tong Ji Tang, Tong Hui Tang, three big pharmacies Tong Ren Tang is a time-honored brand, and the boss is also kind to the many guests. Relief is often given to some of the poor. The address is on East Street, Tongjitang is a place for the rich to see a doctor, and medicine is expensive, and on West Street, it is an area where the rich live. Tonghuitang is a newly opened pharmacy, but the shopkeeper is kind and often helps some of the poor. There are also some small pharmacies on East Street, West Street and North Street, because most of the people living on these two streets are ordinary residents. Most of the residents work in the town.
The two discussed it and decided to go to Tongrentang to have a look.
"Is your shopkeeper there?" Daddy Liu walked to the counter and asked.
"How many people are?" The guy stepped forward and replied.
"We're here to buy something. I want to meet your shopkeeper. "The man also has an eye, so he hurried inside.
"This guest officer, may I ask what you want to buy, I am the doctor here, surnamed Li, and the shopkeeper has something to do. Thank you for your understanding. Liu Caogen handed over the smaller one with a cloth bag. This was discussed at home.
Dr. Li opened the corner of the cloth bag and took a look at it and knew that it was a good thing.
"A few inside, please, Li Feng, hurry up and call the shopkeeper back, Zhang Zhu, you greet the outside." After speaking, Dr. Li picked his head and went inside.
"Please take a seat, the shopkeeper will be here in a moment."
"This is an old mountain ginseng that you have brought, the year is about fifty years old, and the ginseng we have here is ten taels of silver, twenty years, thirty taels of silver, thirty years, Wu Shiliang, forty years, one hundred = ten taels, and two hundred taels of fifty years. These are approximate figures, and it depends on the specific situation, and the price is determined. ”
"A few people, please drink tea, you're welcome, you haven't eaten it at noon! Eat some snacks mat pads. Dr. Li said after the young man brought the tea.
About a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper came. There was also a shopkeeper who appeared with him, dressed in white silk and embroidered with dark flowers. The shopkeeper is about forty years old, with a national character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very kind. Several people in the room confessed. He also introduced the boy in white, who is his young owner, surnamed Zhao. My surname is Liu, my name is Liu Fengchun, and the two of them sat down in the main and secondary seats as the two men in white. It's so handsome, in modern times, it's a male god.
The shopkeeper took it, and the ginseng handed by Dr. Li looked at it for a while. He handed the boy what he was holding. The young man took it and looked at it, but without saying a word, he casually put the ginseng on the table. There is no intention to speak.
"Your ginseng has all the roots, although the year is not big, it is also considered to be good, two hundred and two, what do you think?"
Yu Xin exchanged a look with her father that only they understood. Seeing that the shopkeeper's words were quite sincere, he didn't deceive them. Consistent with what Dr. Li said. Yu Xin decided to sell another ginseng to them.
"Then it's up to the shopkeeper, I still have one thing here, and the young owner and the shopkeeper help the palm." After saying that, he handed over another ginseng as well.
When Yu Xin heard this crepe words, she almost didn't burst out laughing. I didn't expect my dad to be so cute.
Shopkeeper Liu took the ginseng and looked at it, and his heart trembled. Is this a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng? Thanks to not deceiving them just now, it seems that this family of three is not a brainless person. Pharmacies often receive New Year's greetings, but there are very few ginseng like this one that is one hundred and fifty years old, with complete roots and whiskers, and is in such good condition. The young man's expression is still faint, although there are few such ginseng at home, it is not nothing. Still had no intention of speaking.
Zhao Qingkun sat lazily on the seat, looking at the mother and daughter sitting on the desk next to her, wearing patched homespun clothes, her mother was an ordinary peasant woman with a timid expression, and the little girl stood beside her mother, full of expression, not at all like an ordinary peasant child, the big smart eyes embedded in the thin face, making the whole face vivid. The black-faced man sitting next to the little girl is also a stealth patch, with clothes, and although his body is thin, he is sturdy and powerful, and he looks like he has done farm work. This family of three, although this matter was brought forward by the father, the father always inadvertently asked for the little girl's opinion.
"You are an old ginseng in excellent condition, I won't give you a real price, eight hundred taels you see. Next time, if there are goods like this, even if they are brought to our Tongrentang, they will definitely not be able to lose you. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Then it's up to the shopkeeper." This time, Daddy made a decision directly.
"Do you want a silver ticket or a silver ticket?" Shopkeeper Liu asked again.
"Trouble Shopkeeper Liu, pick up silver tickets for Jiu Baiwu, forty taels of broken silver and another ten taels for copper coins." Yuxin said quickly. After speaking, I realized that the atmosphere was not right, hehe, and laughed twice.
Seeing that the adults in the family did not object, Shopkeeper Liu asked the young man to go to the account room and get the silver.
Yu Xin's last expression really shocked the audience. What three-year-old girl could make such a quick decision? The method of the silver, even if they are old shopkeepers, have to think about it for a few seconds, but she is a little girl, and she comes when she opens her mouth, she is not a prodigy. Yu Xin didn't know what everyone was thinking, otherwise she would definitely be overturned.
Yu Xin was happy in her heart, and sang a cheering song in her heart, she has money, she can go shopping and buy things, there are too many things missing in the house. After collecting the money and leaving the door of the pharmacy, Yu Xin's mother's father and mother went to the street.
They first went to the place where the wontons were sold on the side of the road, and asked for four bowls of wontons, the people here are really sincere, the bowl that sells wontons is the kind of big sea bowl, just like a modern soup pot, Yu Xin and her mother have two bowls is enough, but Daddy usually does heavy body work, and one bowl is not enough, so Yuxin directly asked Dad for two bowls. It took = 14 in total.
After eating, I went to the place where the quilt was sold, the quilt at home was too torn, and Yu Xin didn't want to wronged herself.
"How do you sell this quilt for the shopkeeper?" Yu Xin asked, pointing to a thick quilt.
"Like this eleven-pound thick quilt, each bed is one or two taels of silver, like that thin eight-pound one, one or two silver, and that thin, five pounds, nine dollars of silver. It's all made of fine cotton, and the slightly worse leather cotton, eleven very heavy thick quilts, one or two silver, eight pounds, quilts, nine dollars of silver, ultra-thin quilts, five pounds of seven dollars of silver" A young man ran over and hurriedly supported the transaction.
"Girl, let's buy cotton and go home and make it ourselves! It is very expensive to buy the finished product. As soon as the mother heard the price that the young man said, she hurriedly said.
"Man, how much is a pound of cotton?" Mother asked this guy.
"New cotton, seventy-five wen a catty, old cotton sixty-five wen a catty, slightly worse leather cotton, new sixty wen a catty, the old thirty-five wen. The cotton wool I just told you is the price of new cotton belts. The young man replied.
"It's more appropriate for you to buy old cotton and make it yourself, so you can buy two more beds for the same price, and cover them thicker. It's pretty warm, too. "The man made what he thought was the most reasonable judgment based on his own judgment.
"The guy took four quilts made of this year's new cotton, and it cost eleven pounds, and in which bed was the quilt of this year's new cotton weighing five pounds. A total of five taels and seven dollars of silver, you will give us three people and a pair of cotton shoes, how much is a pair of cotton shoes. ”
"Little sister, this pair of cotton shoes = fifteen wen. How do I deliver the keys? The boss has to pay for it. The young man said with a sad face.
"Then I'll buy four more pairs of these cotton shoes, and you can give me three pairs of cotton shoes in total! If you don't sell it again, I'll leave. ”
"Okay, okay, four quilts are four taels and eight dollars, and there is a thin quilt, nine dollars of silver, four pairs of shoes, and one hundred yuan. Add up to a total of four taels and nine dollars of silver, and I will give you a piece of cloth wrapped in a quilt. Where will it be delivered to you? The shopkeeper saw that the business was about to run away, and hurriedly ran over to support it.
Yu Xin asked her mother to pick out the shoes of her grandmother and her family. Let the shop guy wrap it up. And asked his father to pay the money, Liu Caogen was very fond of his little daughter, and the little daughter earned so much money, so he = paid the bill without saying anything. And explain the things of the shopkeeper and will come to pick them up later.
After leaving the quilt shop, the family of three entered the cloth shop again.
"Get out, get out, we don't have what you want." After a while, a young man saw Yu Xin's family enter the store and shouted at them.
"How do you know that I can't afford it, and the dog looks down on people. Mother, there's a cloth shop in front of you, let's go there. As he spoke, he pulled Ma Shi and turned around and left.
Then a group of people came to another shop selling cloth, this one was smaller than the previous one. But it's very clean inside, and the attitude of the shopkeeper is good.
"What do you want? We have cotton, linen, homespun, muslin and everything. Bag you buy the right satisfaction. The phone was muted and greeted with a smile on his face.
"Little brother, what kind of cloth do you have here, and how much does it cost? Give us a detailed introduction! ”
"We have two cents a foot of linen cloth, ten cents a foot of cheesecloth, and fifteen cents a foot of cotton cloth. Muslin = ten cents and one foot. The price of the silk cloth was "The young man quoted a bunch of prices."
"Little brother, you bring the red and blue muslin, blue flowers, white muslin, and navy blue muslin, light blue muslin, dark black muslin, jujube red, light pink muslin, let's see."
"Dad, mother, our family's clothes are torn, I think each of us should tear two bodies." Yu Xin's words, let the parents? Mi Mu trance small 6 spine swelling about the Huai mortar? Fierce sheath Yun forgiveness? p>
In the end, he bought enough fabric for each family to make a single dress. I bought one for my cheap grandmother and grandfather. I bought a few pieces of muslin that was enough to make, and the quilt cover. After spending about two or four dollars of silver, Yuxin asked the shopkeeper for some rags before leaving.
"Xiaobao Xiaobao, don't scare grandma." An anxious old shout came from the door of the cloth shop.
Yu Xin hurriedly ran out of the cloth shop to the place where the voice came from, and when she looked closer, she saw a little boy lying on the ground, his eyes closed and his lips slightly open, and he had difficulty breathing. Sprinkled a handful of peanuts beside him. As soon as she saw this situation, Yu Xin knew that this was an unexpected situation.
"Dad, you turn it over and let him lie on your lap and pat him on the back hard." Daddy is also a warm-hearted person,
"Girl, is that okay? It's human life! ”
"Dad, do what I say, his face is getting darker and darker, if you don't do it again, it's almost too late." As soon as Dad heard Yu Xin say this, he dared to do what Yu Xin said, but he was afraid that it would not be good and delay his life. After a burst of first aid, the little boy spit out the peanuts in your mouth.
"Wow" cried out.
"Alright, let's take him to the doctor. Sister, you can help carry this child to the pharmacy! ”
"Grandma Ma, what's wrong with your grandson?" Tongrentang, the old lady who was the young man Chong asked.
"Hey, this isn't Aunt Liu next door just now, give me this little grandson, give me a handful of peanuts, this child is probably very hungry, and he is about to get stuck." The old lady said with a sad face.
"It's evil, this child's parents left early, and there are only old ladies and grandchildren left in the house." The people in the crowd were talking, Yu Xin listened to the crowd's discussion, and asked her father to give the little boy ten taels of silver, and then the family of three left quietly.
The three of them went to the place where the quilt was sold and took the quilt that had been sold. So I went to the place where I was going to catch the car. He still chartered the man's carriage in the morning.
On the return trip, after a day of traveling, Yu Xin fell asleep in the car.
"Help save people once accumulate merit points, the space is opened, whether to enter." Yu Xin's brain suddenly appeared with a spatial prompt sound. The space is let in, but my father and mother are in front of me, and there is no way to leave.
"The space can be accessed at the moment or at any time later. Is there any space? There are two types of parties to enter with a physical or a virtual soul
Enter. "Yu Xin can enter virtually when she hears it, and she still has a score for work. It can't be that the space of the previous life followed to the ancient times.
The space in the previous life was a ring, and now there is nothing on the body. Oh no, there is a birthmark like a chrysanthemum in the palm of the hand of this world. It can't be that.
"Space and the soul contract are perpetually followed. The entity is immortal, the soul is immortal, and the space is eternal. "Whatever this space says is the words of the Buddha.
Yu Xin entered the space, it was really the space of the previous life, the things she bought and planted before were there, and she ran into the house to take a look, and the things in the room had not changed at all, this unprecedented space was the space of the previous life, Yu Xin had already affirmed it. The opening and use of space are all on the premise of accumulating virtue and practicing bodhisattva, otherwise, the space cannot be opened.
Yuxin went to the field to see again, but the space was blocked by something, and she couldn't get over, so she planned to go to the fish pond again, and the situation was the same.
