Chapter 26: Eating ravioli

The shopkeeper called a fellow and weighed the herbs in the basket, and then saw the shopkeeper Wang crackling on the abacus for a while, so he calculated the price.

Gu Lan knew that one tael of silver in ancient times was equal to 1,000 yuan, but he didn't know how the ancient silver taels he had crossed over were converted?

When the shopkeeper Wang handed over the five taels of silver to her, she still didn't know how much the five taels of silver were worth?

The shopkeeper Wang personally sent their mother out of the pharmacy, and also instructed Gu Lan to come to him to sell medicinal herbs in the future!

Walking out of the pharmacy, Li Yanpin couldn't believe it, her daughter really made money, and it was still so much money!

How could those herb daughters recognize it? How can I not be worthy of knowing that my daughter can recognize medicinal herbs?

"Mingzhu, how do you recognize those herbs? For my mother, I don't remember that you will recognize medicinal herbs? Li Yanpin asked the question in his heart.

Gu Lan had long expected that Li Yanpin would ask this? How can a person who has never picked herbs suddenly recognize so many herbs without making people suspicious?

However, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Mom, I didn't take someone up the mountain to look for wild boars last time, I got acquainted with Uncle Li on the mountain, um! It was Uncle Li who burned the kiln, who taught his daughter. ”

For Uncle Li who burned the kiln, Li Yanpin still knew, Gu Jinkang often went to the mountains to hunt, so he could naturally meet Uncle Li, and once mentioned it to Li Yanpin, saying that Uncle Li was enthusiastic, and Gu Jinkang was sometimes tired on the mountain, so he begged for a glass of water to drink and chatted with Uncle Li.

"This Uncle Li is a warm-hearted person, he taught you these things, let us make money, let's not forget our roots, go back to Uncle Li and bring two bottles of burning knives, he will take this bite." Li Yanpin earnestly instructed.

"Mom, I see. I'll buy two bottles of burnt knives later. Even if Li Yanpin didn't say it, Gu Lan wanted to send something to Uncle Li, she didn't like to owe favors, and Li Yanpin's proposal was exactly what she thought in her heart.

The herbs were sold, and a big stone in Gu Lan's heart finally fell to the ground, she was afraid that if her herbs could not be sold, then she would really not be able to pay back the dowry money of the big house with silver, and she would really be forced by Chen Zhilan to marry instead.

"Mingzhu, those herbs are really valuable! The crops in our field are worth seven or eight taels of silver when they are harvested in a year, and your herb can easily be sold for five taels of silver. Li Yanpin said with emotion.

The crops in the field are tired and tired to earn so much money, and in the event of natural and man-made disasters, there will be no harvest.

Gu Lan thought to himself, this herb is valuable, and it is even more valuable to make pills. Whether ancient or modern, medicine is a highly profitable product, and once these herbs are made into pills and placed on the counter, the profit is dozens of times multiplied.

If Li Yanpin knew that the value of the herbs he sold would increase dozens of times, he would be scared!

"Mom, I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat!" Gu Lan didn't drink porridge in the morning, and he was already hungry.

"Okay, okay, let's go get something to eat." As soon as she heard that her daughter was hungry, Li Yanpin felt distressed and hurriedly pulled Gu Lan to eat.

Gu Lan looked left and right, and finally pulled Li Yanpin to stop in front of a noodle restaurant, "Mom, let's go eat a bowl of wontons!" ”

"The things in this noodle restaurant are too expensive, let's go to East Street to eat something!" Li Yanpin looked into the noodle restaurant, and the people eating inside were all decent people in long robes, unlike those short coats and mud legs in the village.

Dress decently, and the food will naturally not be cheap.

Gu Lan now has silver in his hands, so naturally he won't wronged himself, it's just a noodle restaurant, not a restaurant, how expensive can it be? Besides, Gu Lan has also been to the restaurant, and he also invited Uncle Zhao to have a meal in the restaurant by selling wild boars, which is not so expensive.

knew that Li Yanpin was used to being thrifty, and he was reluctant to spend money. Gu Lan forcibly dragged her in.

Li Yanpin was still a little unaccustomed to it, and after entering the noodle restaurant, the whole person was tense, and he held Gu Lan's hand very hard.

Gu Lan felt a little sorry for Li Yanpin, she had been married to the Gu family for more than ten years, but she hadn't rushed to the market a few times, she had never saved money in her hands, and the clothes on her body were mended again and again.

This time, I went to the market and rummaged in the cage for a long time before I turned out a piece of clothing without patches. is dressed like this, and Chen Zhilan is said to be a showman, I don't know where her eyes are?

Gu Lan found a table and sat down, and a guy came over to greet them, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Two bowls of ravioli." Gu Lan replied generously.

"Okay! Guest, sit down for a while, and you'll be right away. "The guy looked enthusiastic.

It didn't take long for two bowls of hot wontons to be served.

The bowl is plentiful and fragrant. Gu Lan picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth, the skin was thin and the filling was fresh, and the taste was good.

Li Yanpin was also attracted by the fragrance of wontons, and his family couldn't eat white noodles several times a year, let alone this wonton with meat filling.

The two of them ate happily, and Li Yanpin also let go of eating, no longer as hesitant as when they started to come in.

After eating, Gu Lan paid the bill and spent sixteen yuan, and Gu Lan also figured it out, here, one tael of silver is exchanged for 100 yuan.

That is to say, her herbs were sold for 500 yuan.

Gu Lan looked at the patched clothes on his body and decided to buy some more clothes. In modern times, there are no patches on clothes. Because most clothes are worn for a maximum of two years, and the style is outdated and thrown away.

There are ready-to-wear shops and cloth shops in the bazaar.

Gu Lan took Li Yanpin to the ready-to-wear shop first, tried on a few clothes, and bought himself a blue lotus top, and then paired it with pants of the same color.

Li Yanpin refused to try on clothes no matter what, saying that he had clothes to wear, so he didn't have to spend this unjust money.

Gu Lan was speechless, how frugal is her mother? He refused to buy even a piece of clothing.

Gu Lan decided to pull some fabrics for Li Yanhi and let her make her own clothes, she saw that many aunts and sisters-in-law in the village made their own clothes, of course, to save money.

Fabrics are much cheaper than ready-to-wear. Gu Lan looked through a few pieces of fabric, but he was not satisfied. This step is too rough, and it will be uncomfortable to wear on the body.

The shopkeeper was a sister-in-law in her thirties, and when she saw that Gu Lan was not satisfied, she said, "Is the girl dissatisfied with these fabrics?" Gu Lan nodded.

"The fabrics are so coarse that they're going to be uncomfortable to wear."

"These are cheesecloths, and when they are woven, they are not coarse, and they are not finely woven, but they are very cheap, they are wear-resistant for farm work, and they are soft after a few washes. It's still very popular and sells fast. ”

"If the girl is not satisfied, I have just bought some muslin in the back of the store, the fabric is very soft, sweaty, and comfortable to wear, but the price is a bit expensive. Or I'll show you. "The sister-in-law was very welcoming.

Gu Lan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that there was muslin, in modern times, muslin is a good thing, and a cotton dress with exquisite workmanship costs thousands of yuan.

Modern people who are more and more particular about eating and dressing are very picky about the quality of clothes, and the first choice for clothes is pure cotton, and a set of cotton handmade suits will be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

"Show it to me, and I'll buy some if it's suitable." Gu Lan replied to his sister-in-law.

Hearing that the price was expensive, Li Yanpin pulled Gu Lan hard and asked her not to buy it.

Gu Lan patted her hand and said she knew. But she still wanted to buy fabrics for Li Yanpin and Gu Jinkang to make a few sets of clothes.
