Chapter 19: Inquire quietly
Zou Hongping probably didn't expect Tong Chuxue to take a ride with them, snorted coldly, turned her back and didn't want to deal with it at all. Tong Yu'er glanced at Tong Chuxue slightly provocatively.
To be honest, Tong Chuxue only felt inexplicable, she and the Tong family had no intersection recently, why did the two of them still dislike her so much.
It was Luo Huifeng who jumped up and down enthusiastically to her and Xu Jinniang, "Hello aunt, good sister!" ”
Xu Jinniang has a natural love for children, and greeted Luo Huifeng with a smile, "Does my brother take you to the town to play?" ”
Luo Huifeng's little head turned around, and when he saw that there were people all around, he had to pull the corner of Xu Jinniang's clothes, lie on her ear, and whispered, "Today I want to go with my brother to sell herbs, I went to the mountains with my sister yesterday to pick them, auntie, you must keep it secret, otherwise others will know that we won't be able to dig it." ”
Xu Jinniang knew about the fact that the few of them went to the mountains to collect medicine together yesterday, and seeing that Luo Huifeng was so nervous, she couldn't help but rub his head, "Okay, Auntie will definitely help you keep it secret." ”
Tong Chuxue and Luo Hui'an glanced at each other, and both noticed the basket in each other's hands, and they knew each other tacitly.
It took about an hour and a half to get from the village to the town, and by the time the group arrived, the sun was shining, and the people in the car had their own purpose and looked around. Luo Hui'an glanced at Tong Chuxue and proposed, "I know that the owner of the Renshan Medical Center in the town is good, and the price of the medicinal materials is fair, so I'll take you there." ”
Tong Chuxue was worried about how to make a move, but at this time, Luo Hui'an took the initiative to help, she didn't shirk, and happily said thank you.
Renshan Medical Center is a veteran medical center in the town, and it is also a place where Luo Hui'an often comes to buy medicine, as soon as the boss sees Luo Hui'an coming, it is like seeing his own relatives, very enthusiastic, "Long time no see, is your health not good recently?" ”
"Boss Cheng has bothered, I've been in good health recently." Luo Hui'an said politely, "I came today because I have some medicinal materials in my hand, I don't know if Boss Cheng wants it?" ”
Boss Cheng stroked his beard and laughed, "I'll rest assured when I'm in good health, and we'll talk about the rest." ”
Saying that, Boss Cheng took a few people to the back hall and sat down, Luo Hui'an took out the medicinal materials he picked with Tong Chuxue and showed them to Boss Cheng, Boss Cheng picked them up and observed them in his hands, and came to a conclusion, "Yes, the quality is good." I'll let the shopkeeper do the accounting for you. ”
According to the market price, Tong Chuxue's side was eight hundred wen, and Luo Hui'an's side was one or two pieces of silver, after all, the Luo family had more hands at that time.
Tong Chuxue actually wanted to ask the boss about Dendrobium, but Luo Hui'an was not easy to speak, so she thought about going out and going around and coming back to ask.
But Luo Hui'an is like a roundworm in her stomach, Tong Chuxue looked at her, he understood what she meant, and said, "It's rare to come over, it's better to let Auntie and Xiaofeng also check the pulse." ”
Xu Jinniang wanted to refuse, but Boss Cheng also said, "Yes, sometimes I don't pay attention to some physical problems when I work all year round, and if I don't treat a minor illness, it will eventually become a big problem. ”
Under the joint persuasion of the two, the three went out to check the pulse.
Tong Chuxue suddenly reacted at this moment, both Boss Cheng and Luo Hui'an knew that she had something to ask, and couldn't help admiring, "Boss is really good eyesight!" ”
"The little lady said with a smile, you are just young, so everything you want to say is written on your face." Boss Cheng smiled, "I don't know if the little lady wants to talk to me alone." ”
Dendrobium is extremely precious, but Tong Chuxue is not sure if anyone knows this world, in case they are all illiterate, wouldn't she be overjoyed.
"I don't know about Dendrobium, has Boss Cheng heard of it?" Tong Chuxue asked tentatively.
As soon as he heard the words "Dendrobium officinale", Boss Cheng's eyes immediately became fanatical, with 120,000 points of expectation, "Little lady, but you have this thing in your hand?" ”
Of course she has it in her hands, but she is ready to take the long-term supply route, not sell a little. Although this Boss Cheng was introduced by Luo Hui'an, she didn't dare to fully trust it at the first time.
"Boss Cheng was disappointed, I just heard that we can produce dendrobium here, and I want to inquire about the price first." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
It turned out that there was no, Boss Cheng was a little disappointed, he was too impatient before, how could the other party be a country girl, how could he have such a precious thing in his hands.
"Dendrobium is a big supplement, and almost no one in our town can afford to consume it, but it is not necessarily necessary to go up. As the little lady said, our place does produce dendrobium, which is purchased by businessmen from the capital every year, and the price can reach hundreds of taels when the price is high. ”
"It's just that dendrobium often grows in the mountains, and the number is scarce, and there are not many people who have the ability to pick it. Scarcity is expensive, so the price remains high all year round. If the little lady is lucky enough to pick it in the mountains, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. ”
Boss Cheng's idea is very simple, no matter whether Tong Chuxue can really pick it or not, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he doesn't want to let it go, after all, it is such a valuable thing.
Tong Chuxue knows that according to the current market, this thing is too concerned, if she makes too many shots at one time, it will be risky, and how to choose needs to go back and think carefully.
After the matter in the medical hall, Tong Chuxue and Xu Jinniang still had to buy some new household things, and the two families separated in front of the medical hall.
Moving into a new home means having a new atmosphere, Tong Chuxue's opinion is that anyway, now that there is money, you should buy it, not to mention the golden doll of Dendrobium, they will not be short of money at all in the future.
But Xu Jinniang has been thrifty all her life, and when she saw Tong Chuxue shopping for things, she felt that she was going to pass out in the next moment.
This is just the 800 wen in hand, and it will be spent 500 wen in the blink of an eye, the key is that no matter how she persuades her, Tong Chuxue insists on buying it, she is almost angry with her daughter.
Along the way, Xu Jinniang kept a straight face.
Tong Chuxue followed behind with a lot of things, smiling helplessly, it seems that she has to talk to Xu Jinniang when she goes back.
Moreover, there is one thing she has not bought, and that is books.
One of the main purposes of her visit to town this time was to buy a book and go back, she wanted to learn to read, and she couldn't stand being illiterate all the time.
Xu Jinniang was still sulking, and she saw Tong Chuxue limp under her feet and walked into a shop called Mo Bao Zhai.
Strange, what is the first snow going there for?
As soon as Tong Chuxue entered the door, the guy greeted him, "This little lady, things can be placed on the edge of the counter, and we will help you keep them." ”
The service of this shop is quite in place, Tong Chuxue put down the things in her hand and asked, "Do you have any books for children to enlighten?" ”
The guy pointed out to Tong Chuxue very enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text" are all available. ”
Tong Chuxue's heart moved, she was surprised, the enlightenment books here turned out to be the same as theirs, should the content be ......
"I can't remember, it seems that there is a book that says, at the beginning of people, nature is good......" Tong Chuxue said.
"I know, that's the "Three Character Classic"!"
Tong Chuxue suddenly heard a familiar voice, and then Luo Huifeng rushed to her with a look of begging for praise.
"Xiaofeng, you can't go on a rampage when you walk." Luo Hui'an, who was following behind Luo Huifeng, said.
"Sister, sister, do you want to buy the "Three Character Classic"?" Luo Huifeng asked curiously.
