14. Purchase in the city (the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar)
Su Rui learned that Uncle Chang Ying's family would also go to the county seat to purchase the next day, so she hurriedly said hello and left a place to prepare to go to the county seat by herself.
It's not that she doesn't want to take her younger siblings there, but because the seats in the car are all booked, and there is only one seat left, which is still a very small seat, so she is too thin to sit down.
Before dawn the next day, Su Rui pretended to go up the mountain, went into the space and dug up a slightly smaller ginseng and wrapped it, estimating that it was forty or fifty years old.
The ginseng planted in the space has grown back into ginseng. From two ginseng, to now more than ten or twenty.
Back in the courtyard, the second sister had already gotten up.
"Eldest sister, you went up the mountain so early?"
Su Rui took the ginseng out of the basket and showed it to the second sister. "I saw it in the mountains before the autumn harvest. Because I didn't have time to go to the county seat, I didn't dig it all the time. ”
"This one seems to be much smaller than the last one." Su Ying observed this.
"Well, this one is estimated to be fifty years at most."
Su Ying was pleasantly surprised, "Ah, isn't that going to cost more than a hundred taels?" ”
Su Rui smiled and nodded. "So you're not afraid that you'll sit back and eat empty, right?"
The little girl was blushing, and she was like a housekeeper every day, always worried that the family's money would be spent.
"Alright, it's almost time. I'm leaving, you take care of your younger siblings, you don't have to wait for me to eat. Su Rui picked up the basket and left.
At the door of Su Changying's house, everyone waited for the Lin family to sit up with their little daughter Su Min in their arms, and Su Changle set off with an ox cart.
"Aunt Lin, why didn't you bring Brother Chenli?"
"It's cold in the morning, I'm afraid of freezing him. And it's not easy to buy things with him. Lin gave Su Min a whole dress.
"Yo, this is Rui girl, right? Why haven't I seen it in a few months, but it seems to have become pretty? It was dawn, and the aunt of the same clan in the same car looked at Su Rui.
"It seems to be prettier than the previous two months."
"Rui girl used to be beautiful, but now it's just a little more open. What's all the fuss about? Can your daughters remain the same from childhood to adulthood? "The Lin family hates this group of eight women, but it's not easy to offend and ruthless, and it's the most annoying to be related to relatives.
For a while, no one spoke in the car, and Su Rui was also happy, and along the way, the owner Li Jia's short fry made her have a sore ear.
When I arrived at the entrance of the county market, the ox cart could not enter.
Uncle Chang Le stopped at the entrance of the market, ready to wait next to the grocery store, and left in two hours, and he didn't wait if he didn't come...
Su Rui and Aunt Lin separated, and they both brought some of their family's products to sell to subsidize the family.
Su Rui found the Rejuvenation Hall Pharmacy, and when she entered the door, she didn't see Dr. Sun, so she asked the medicine boy, "Excuse me, is Dr. Sun here?" ”
"Girl's medical treatment or medicine? If it's a drug, I can catch it. The medicine boy looked up and down.
"I don't see a doctor and I don't take medicine. I asked Dr. Sun to sell ginseng. Su Rui ignored the medicine boy's scrutiny.
"Ah, I know who you are. The one who sold 100-year-old wild ginseng last time. You wait, I'll go and call Dr. Sun. The medicine boy happily ran to the backyard.
"Oh, little girl, you're here. Didn't you say last time that there were two more? Is it with that? Dr. Sun hurriedly asked.
"It's grown together, I only dug one this time, and I didn't dig one." Su Rui took out the mountain ginseng.
"Nice, nice. Although it is not as big as the previous one, this one is less than fifty years and less than sixty years old, but the quality is superior. Dr. Sun stroked his beard and nodded.
Su Rui smiled, but said in her heart, "If the space is produced, there will be a high-quality product." ”
"I'll give you two hundred taels for this. I'll leave the remaining one for me. "The doctor directly offered the most suitable price, and he didn't plan to lower the price.
The main reason is that this wild ginseng is too curative. As soon as the front one was put into his hands, he was bought by the housekeeper of the prefect's house in Qinghe Prefecture at a price of 1,000 taels, it is said that because his ancestor died immediately, and he could no longer drink the medicine, so he could only take ginseng to hang himself.
The housekeeper of the prefect's house came directly to the door and said that if there was any wild ginseng, it would be sent directly to the door.
Su Rui didn't know Dr. Sun's belly, otherwise it would be strange, she put the mountain ginseng in the space for two days, and poured water on the spiritual spring a few times, the effect was not so good? Or can mountain ginseng really sustain life?
This time, Su Rui didn't ask for a silver ticket, but asked for ten taels of gold, eighty taels of silver ingots, and twenty taels of broken silver. With the basket on his back, he put the gold and silver ingots into the space, and put the remaining twenty taels on his body for the purchase expenses.
I went to the butcher shop first, and bought five catties of plate oil, eight catties of pork belly, and the price of oil and meat was ten wen a catty, a total of one hundred and thirty wen. When she was paying, Su Rui saw that there were pig's trotters and asked.
"How much silver is the boss pig's trotters?"
When the butcher saw that a little girl wanted to buy pig's trotters, he persuaded him, "Little girl, this is not very tasty, there is no meat, and it is all skin and bones." ”
Su Rui smiled and said, "That's what you don't know, all kinds of pig's trotter delicacies in your previous life." ”
"It's okay, you can weigh it all for me."
The butcher saw that Su Rui insisted, so he didn't persuade him, after all, who would have trouble with the money.
"Pig's trotters cost five cents a catty, eight for a total of nine catties and one tael, count you nine catties. Forty-five texts. ”
"Uncle Butcher, how do you sell the bones in that bucket?" Su Rui looked at the big bones and was moved, bone stew soup can supplement calcium for her younger siblings.
"Well, there's no meat on it, I'm going to take it home and nibble on it myself. If you want it, take all the pennies. The butcher took out the big bones and tied them together and put them in Surui's back basket.
"Thank you, uncle."
Su Rui smiled secretly, she had made a lot of money, and the big bones of five or six catties were only five cents.
With nearly 20 pounds of meat and bones on his back, how can he go shopping? Su Rui found a place to put the oil and meat into the space, leaving only the pig's trotters and bones.
The grocery store bought two packets of white sugar and two packs of brown sugar, as well as two catties of salt.
The grain store bought various beans such as soybeans and red beans.
In the end, I went to the pastry shop and bought twelve moon cakes, also known as peach cakes, candy seeds, peanut candy and sesame candy three catties each, divided into three packages, a total of twelve packs.
These things have to cross the clear road, and they can't be put into space.
Su Rui struggled, carrying the basket on her back and walking towards the entrance of the market.
"Rui girl, Rui girl."
As soon as Su Rui turned around, she saw Sister-in-law Lin walking towards her.
"Auntie, are you running out of things?" When Su Rui saw Aunt Lin coming, the basket was empty.
"yes, my mother's soles are of good quality. It sells out every time you come for a while. ”
"Why do you buy so many things, girl?"
I saw that Su Rui's back basket was already full, and she also carried a few bags of snacks in her hand. Lin hurriedly changed the basket on Su Rui's back with his own and sent it to the grocery store ox cart.
"Let's go, I'm going to accompany my aunt for a while, there's still half an hour before it's time, and you Uncle Chang Ying can't lose things when he looks at them." Lin took Su Rui to the market again.
After walking around, there is nothing to buy, and I am about to leave. Suddenly, I saw an old man selling rabbits, and hurriedly walked in and asked, "Uncle, how did you sell this rabbit?" ”
It's been a morning, and finally someone asked, and the old man hurriedly replied, "Fifty wen one, ninety wen a pair of male and female." ”
"Rui girl, what do you want to do with this? There's no meat, so it's better to buy a few catties of meat to eat. Lin Shi hurriedly grabbed Su Rui.
"It's okay aunt, my Wan'er likes to raise small animals, and she raises my chickens very well."
"I'll buy a pair of eighty wen." Su Rui looked at the old man.
"Hey, eighty is eighty. Girl, take it. The old man handed the basket to Su Rui with a puzzled face.
"It's winter soon, what are you feeding her?" Lin asked
Su Rui played with the rabbit and replied, "Didn't you plant radishes and cabbage a few days ago, and now there is some new grass, and when there is no grass, cut some hay and they will eat it." ”
"Alas, you girl spends money indiscriminately." Lin is helpless...
