Xiao Liu, a middle-aged man who looked a little strong, heard the voice, walked in with a sharp little scimitar, carried the sack to the well in the corner of the yard, and began to take snake gall.

Half an hour later, Zhu Yu and Mu Tong calculated the price of all the medicinal materials, and brought the silver money to Gu Dashan: "A total of four taels and six hundred and thirty big coins, you can count them." ”

Gu Dashan took the silver money with trembling hands, a little incredulous: "This, so much? "Almost five taels of silver, which is the money of one acre of land.

The third grandfather also felt that this silver money was too much, although there were many types of medicinal materials that Xiaoyu was looking for, the amount was small, adding up to less than thirty catties, and there were many very common medicinal materials, which were not valuable.

Mu Dao: "The three living swollen-necked snakes, the master is in charge, and he gave one or two halves of silver, and those dried snake gall bladders, as well as centipedes, are also worth a lot of silver." ”

If it weren't for the three living snakes, there wouldn't be so much money.

Gu Jinli asked Mu Tong: "Uncle Mu Tong, what is the specific price of the forty-three snakes?" ”

Those live snakes were caught by her with Qin Sanlang, Luo Huiniang, and Tian Xiaohua, and the money from the sale should be divided equally, so you have to ask the price clearly, and go back to tell them.

Mu Tong told her the price.

In addition to the three swollen-necked snakes, a red snake was also sold for 300 wen, the highest price of the others was 100 wen, and the cheapest was only sold for 8 wen, the price difference was very large, mainly depending on the preciousness of the snake. Their forty-three snakes were sold for a total of two or eight hundred dollars.

After Mu Tong finished talking about the price of the snake, he told her the price of those herbs.

The dried medicinal materials she sold were twenty-eight catties and one tael, and a total of one or two eight hundred and thirty wen, and the prices of all kinds of medicinal materials were uneven, but on average, there were sixty-five wen per catty, which was very good.

After Gu Jinli finished talking to Mu Tong, Gu Dashan returned the silver money he got from selling medicinal materials to her: "These money have Brother Qin's share, it's not good to put it with the silver money in our family, you can take it yourself." ”

Gu Jinli took the silver coin with a smile and promised: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely hide the silver money and don't let the thief pick it up." ”

She took the money and ran to the front shop to buy herbs to ward off cold and dehumidification.

Their family fled all the way, and suffered a lot of cold on the way, so they had to buy some to soak their feet and get rid of the cold in their bodies. Otherwise, they don't have to wait until they are old, and their family will have rheumatism.

There is also Gu Jinxiu, she has reached the age of marriage, women are the most unbearable to the cold, the cold is backlogged in the body, it is difficult to conceive in the future, if you can't give birth to a child in ancient times, you will suffer a lot.

The medicine boy standing on the side of the medicine cabinet was named Mai Dong, knowing that she was Dr. Du's fellow countryman, and Dr. Wu had accepted her medicinal materials, so he asked enthusiastically, "What kind of medicine does the little girl want to buy?" How much to buy? Is there a prescription? ”

Gu Jinli smiled at Mai Dong and said, "There is no prescription, I want to buy two catties of peppercorns, two catties of Lao Ai, and half a catty of Xu Changqing." ”

Xu Changqing's medicinal herbs are a bit expensive, and she doesn't dare to buy more.

Mai Dong wrote down the names of the medicinal materials she said on a small piece of yellow paper, and after she finished speaking, she personally took the small yellow paper to grab the medicine for her.

Shaoqing handed her three packets of medicinal materials wrapped in yellow paper: "This bag is Sichuan pepper, this bag is Lao Ai, and this bag is Xu Changqing." It's a total of 170 texts. ”

Sichuan pepper is cheap with Lao Ai, Xu Changqing wants one hundred and sixty wen a catty, and she wants half a catty is eighty wen.

"Thank you." Gu Jinli gave the silver money, took three packs of medicine, and had to sigh, no wonder there were many people who died of illness in ancient times, this medical condition is poor, and the medicine is expensive, these medicines in her hand can be worth half a month's salary for a strong laborer.

When she returned to the backyard with the medicine, Dr. Du and the others were already saying goodbye to Dr. Wu.

Dr. Du had no money, and Dr. Wu paid him two months' salary in advance, which moved Dr. Du to tears, and he was thanking Dr. Wu vigorously.

Doctor Wu waved his hand and said: "Don't say these kind words, remember to go to work in the tenth year of the new year, if you don't worry about your grandchildren, you can bring them, this backyard has left a room for you, which can be divided into two small rooms, enough for your grandchildren to live." ”

Dr. Du was worried that he would come to the town for a medical treatment and would not be able to take care of a pair of grandchildren, but Dr. Wu's words solved a big problem for him, and he wanted to be grateful, so he was so frightened that Dr. Wu hurriedly called Mu Tong and asked Mu Tong to send them out of the pharmacy.

As soon as Gu Jinli got out of the pharmacy, he ran to Qin Sanlang and said, "Little Brother Qin, our snake is selling well, and we got two or eight hundred yuan." ”

After hearing this, Qin Saburo laughed: "It's a good price, we can get a lot." "Especially for the Tian family, this money can relieve them a lot of pressure.

Doctor Du glanced at Qin Sanlang, then turned his head and asked the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, are you going to buy New Year's goods?" ”

The third grandfather said: "Yes, this is the New Year, why do you have to buy some, and you have to buy some guys to live by." ”

Dr. Du said: "I'm also going to buy some things, let's go together." ”

Dr. Du finally met the people from his hometown, and he didn't want to be separated from them too early.

The third grandfather naturally said yes.

Several families did not have any warm clothes, and they wore straw sandals on their feet, and their feet were frozen purple and purple, so they had to go to the cloth village first, buy some cloth and cotton, and make shoes and cotton clothes and quilts.

Buzhuang is not far from the pharmacy, on the same main street, and it takes a quarter and a half of an hour to walk.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the cloth village is full of people who come to buy things, in groups of three or five, which is very lively.

But after many people saw them, they retreated to the side one after another, whispering: "Yo, look at this appearance, it is the disaster victims who have been assigned to our Qingfu Town." ”

"No, look at them like that, so thin that they can't make a human shape, and the clothes are torn like beggars."

"Tsk, I don't even have a pair of shoes, and my feet are almost like pig's trotters."

"Oh, what a pathetic ......"

There are those who laugh at them, and there are those who pity them.

Gu Jinli didn't take their words to heart.

Laugh at them, they disdain. Fleeing all the way, they are heroes if they survive.

Pity them, they don't need it. They have hands and feet, and they can get their lives on their own.

Gu Jinli carried her two sacks, slapped them heavily in front of the counter with two taels of silver, and said to the shopkeeper of the cloth village: "How to sell cotton and cotton cloth?!" ”

The shopkeeper of the cloth village originally wanted the guy to drive them out, but when he saw her smash down two taels of silver, he immediately smiled and said: "We have three kinds of new cotton, old cotton, and miscellaneous cotton, the new cotton is 100 yuan a catty, the old cotton is 60 wen a catty, and the miscellaneous cotton is 50 wen a catty." ”

The third grandfather frowned and said, "This price is more expensive than in previous years." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "The old man is right, this price is indeed more expensive than in previous years, but this year we have been affected by disasters in all parts of Dachu, and the prices of many things have risen. ”
