Chapter 14: Miss Tan

"Recognize, this is Dendrobium, also known as the immortal soul grass, good for the stomach, nourishing yin and clearing heat, but it is only found in the deep mountains, mostly parasitic on the living trees with rough bark, or in the shade of the stone crevices, it is one of the nine immortal grasses, and it is rare to meet." Gu Shitong's medical book left at home, Gu Qingzhu memorized it well, which was not difficult for her at all.

"The girl knows how to heal?" Tan Lide was very surprised, it was rare to be able to recognize dendrobium, and this girl in the mountains could say that the effect of the medicine was not bad at all.

"I've got an axe in front of my husband, I just know a little bit about it." Gu Qingzhu touched the red rattan bracelet and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"This is already very remarkable, in the future, if you pick dendrobium, just send it to me, fresh ten taels of silver a catty, and the price of dry goods is higher." Tan Lide said with a pleasant face.

Ten taels and one pounds! Gu Qingzhu was shocked by this price, but she quickly understood that scarcity is expensive, she paused, and said calmly: "Dendrobium is not easy to get, if I encounter it by chance in the future, I will remember to send it to you." ”

"Then it's settled." Tan Lide said with a smile on his face.

"It's a total of eighteen catties, three hundred and sixty wen." Fifteen went and returned, handing a string of copper coins and cloth bags to Gu Qingzhu.

"Go, add another forty texts, make up a whole number." Tan Lide waved his hand at Fifteen, but he was afraid that Gu Qingzhu would not want it, so he smiled and said to her, "It's also a small fixed money, and the girl shouldn't be too little."

"How does this work?" Gu Qingzhu was not sure that he would be able to find Dendrobium, and if he accepted the money in advance at this time, he would feel uneasy.

"It doesn't matter." Tan Lide smiled and waved his hand.

He had a little affection for the girl in front of him who was forced by life and cared about money, but was not too greedy.

"Thank you, boss, when I come to sell medicinal herbs next time, I'll deduct the money inside." Gu Qingzhu really needs money now, so he won't excuse himself, even if he can't find Dendrobium in the future, he can always use other medicinal materials to offset the account.

Gu Qingzhu packed up her back basket and was about to say goodbye, and walked in from outside the door a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who was born with ice muscles and jade bones, and a grub collar on her waist, she was wearing a cherry-colored embroidered rose skirt, and the placket and cuffs were inlaid with white rabbit fur, which made her face like spring flowers, and her eyes like autumn water.

"Zijin, I received the best kudzu powder today, Ming'er, you have to send it to the old lady of the Mu family." When Tan Lide saw the comer, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he beckoned.

"Dad just send someone to send it, what do you want to call me!" Tan Zijin's face was slightly red, he lowered his head and twisted his handkerchief, and then asked, "Hey, haven't you been thinking about the poor quality recently, so you won't accept it?" ”

"Gu Jiaao's kudzu powder, how can there be any reason not to accept it? Besides, this girl is sincere, and she picks old roots that are deep in the mountains, and she must have suffered hardships when she first dug them, which is not easy. Tan Lide pointed at Gu Qingzhu and sighed.

"Miss Tan." Gu Qingzhu stood aside and saluted with a smile.

Tan Zijin rolled his eyes: "Ah, why are you?" But I haven't seen each other for a few days. ”

"Yes, there is a lot of snow in the moon, and I can barely get out of the mountain until now, and I don't know if there is any delay in the Luopa you want." Gu Qingzhu said, bent down and took out the blue cloth bag.

"You two know each other?" Tan Lide looked at his daughter with some suspicion.

"She's the girl I often mention, and her embroidery is amazing." Tan Zijin smiled, like a spring breeze.

"I don't understand the business in your embroidery shop, there is something to do later, let's talk." Tan Lide saw a guy in the back hall pharmacy opening his head at the door, so he rolled up the book and left quickly.

"Daddy, go slowly." Tan Zijin bent down and saluted.

Seeing Tan Lide turn into the backyard, Tan Zijin took Gu Qingzhu's hand and sat down at the table, and the young man was very insightful to bring a pot of tea and a few refreshments.

Gu Qingzhu didn't care about drinking tea, and hurriedly spread out the old blue cloth on the table: "This is the twenty pieces of vegetarian cloth that you took in the lunar month, and they were all embroidered during the New Year's Festival, you see, are you still satisfied?" ”

Tan Zijin picked it up piece by piece and looked at it carefully, and praised it in his mouth: "The girl's embroidery work is really amazing, these chickens, sheep, birds and birds are all like alive." ”

"Miss Tan has an overreputation, but I have seen a lot of them in the mountains, and their various appearances are naturally remembered in my mind, and my brother is idle to draw them to play, and I just take needlework and embroidery." Gu Qingzhu was a little embarrassed by her praise, and his face was hot.

"Your brother can draw?" Tan Zijin raised his head and asked in some surprise.

"His painting is even better than my embroidery, but he is reluctant to brush and ink, and only draws on the ground with bamboo branches." Gu Qingzhu felt embarrassed that he couldn't provide for his brother, his face turned even redder, and he said in a low voice.

"This is 200 Wen for Xiu Luopa, and the other 100 Wen can buy some paper and pen for your brother." Tan Zijin took out the money from his purse.

She was a little annoyed, the people in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat, it would be good to be able to mix a round belly, and where would she have the spare money to buy pen and ink to paint seriously, she asked so abruptly, it seemed that she was poking people's hearts, and she wanted to use money to make up for what she said wrongly.

"This ......" Gu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly turned red, as if she had rubbed a pound of rouge, it was early spring, but her forehead was sweaty.

Gu Qingzhu carried a family at a young age, and she was despised and bullied a lot, and today, Tan Zijin's mercy made her at a loss!
