Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bai Tianqi is Persuaded

Bai Jasmine pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Deny.

No matter what the others said, she shook her head and said she didn't know, she didn't know, it wasn't her business.

And she wanted to take advantage of the fact that before her sister-in-law and grandmother returned home, she would hurry up and move her father to take her to sell the batch of herbs she had picked back.

This will not leave any tricks, and you can also get a private money, which is perfect.

After figuring this out, White Jasmine quickly ran to find Bai Qi.

"Dad, I sneaked into the mountains yesterday afternoon while everyone was not paying attention and picked a lot of herbs. While my grandmother and sister-in-law are away, you took me to the county to sell all the herbs, right? ”

"What, you went into the mountains alone? There wasn't any danger, was there? Didn't your sister-in-law say that the mountains are dangerous and there are bandits, and you dare to go alone. Bai Tianqi's first reaction was to worry.

"Dad, you listen to my sister-in-law talking nonsense there. Where are there any bandits in the mountains, this is clearly to see that she went out by herself, and she didn't want others to go into the mountains to collect medicine and sell money at this time, so she deliberately made it up, and I didn't come back well? White Jasmine pouted with disgust.

"No, there is no reason for Pear to deceive everyone in the village because of this little thing." Bai Qi was a little unconvinced.

"Dad, do you think about what my sister-in-law used to be like? How did she deceive us, play tricks on us? ”

Bai Baiqi thought of Bai Jinli's previous evil deeds again, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his inner thoughts.

At this moment, Niu Shi walked in from outside, and couldn't help but talk to Bai Jasmine and Bai Qi's appearance.

"What's the matter, what are you two fathers and daughters thinking with big eyes?"

"Mother, you quickly persuade my father, it's like this......" Bai Jasmine told Niu Shi what she had just said again.

After Niu Shi listened, he slapped Bai Qi's arm with dissatisfaction and anxiety on his face.

"Boss, you are stupid, what our jasmine said makes sense. Anyway, Jasmine has picked the herbs back, and you still don't want to take her to the county to sell herbs, what are you waiting for? ”

"But if this is known to my mother and pear, isn't it?" Bai Qi was vaguely worried.

"What's so bad? We didn't do anything bad, the herbs were jasmine picked, and if you sold them, you went there, was there any problem?

Besides, you don't want to think about how hard our Xiao Ming is studying in the town, and you can't do everything you can to save more private money for him to subsidize? Niu opened his mouth to persuade.

"Yes, Dad, my brother will have to gain fame in the future, and when he becomes an official after he is admitted, then our family will be developed. If you don't help my brother now, what hope can our family have? Can't you wait for my grandmother to persuade my brother to come back and go to the ground? White Jasmine said.

The Bai Xiaoming in their mouth is the eldest son of Bai Qi and Niu, Bai Jasmine's own brother, fifteen years old this year.

When I was young, I was very studious, and every day I took advantage of the time I went out to work to sneak out of the window of the college to listen to the master's lectures, and I learned a lot over time.

The master saw that he was serious and studious, so he took the initiative to go to the Bai family as a lobbyist so that he could have the opportunity to study.

Mrs. Li was naturally unwilling, but she couldn't stand the back and forth persuasion of the master and Old Man Bai, so she had to respond.

Since then, Bai Xiaoming has studied hard and became the third child after Shen Qinghan, and went to the town to continue studying.

Because he was afraid of Mrs. Li and hated Bai Jinli's sister-in-law, Bai Xiaoming, who finally left home, did not come back easily.

He has nothing to do to help others copy books, write letters on his behalf and earn a little money, and from time to time Bai Qi also uses the private money he has saved to subsidize Bai Xiaoming.

The people in their second room know this well.

"Okay, when you finish eating at noon in a while, you pack your things, and let's go to the county secretly." When Bai Qi thought of his son, he was still persuaded in the end.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go."

White Jasmine happily ran to the backyard and poured her freshly picked herbs aside to dry, which had been dried so much that they were put in her own basket and hid aside.

After lunch, under the cover of Niu's family, the father and daughter secretly went out and walked to the entrance of the village with a basket on their backs.

Originally, I wanted to stop a car and go to the county, but I couldn't wait.

The distance in the county is relatively long, and it would be a waste of time to walk.

As soon as the two of them are combined, they can simply go to the town, anyway, there is a pharmacy in the town, and it won't waste too much time when they walk over, and they can also go to see Bai Xiaoming by the way.

After walking for a long time, the two of them sweated on their tired foreheads, and finally arrived in the town.

Compared with the county, the town is naturally not as prosperous as the county seat, and it is now the afternoon time, and there are not many people.

The father and daughter found a pharmacy and stood at the door, a little hesitant.

After a long time, the day wizard cheered himself up, and then gritted his teeth and stepped in with White Jasmine.

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming to the door, he ran over and asked him what he was looking for.

Bai Baiqi said that there were herbs to sell, and when the little guy heard it, he thought they were looking for trouble, and immediately impatiently drove the two people out of the door.

"Dad, what's going on? We're just going to sell herbs, why are we being kicked out? Why did the sister-in-law sell the herbs so easily? ”

When she was in the pharmacy, White Jasmine was quiet like a quail, not daring to say a word.

After waiting for it to come out, a stomach full of problems and dissatisfaction.

"It must be that we didn't perform well, let's go, Dad will take you to another one to try." During the day, he thought about it and walked to the next pharmacy without giving up.

Speaking of which, he often goes to the county to help his family buy things, and he also deals with many people, but he is much more likely than to mean that this honest big brother will come to trouble.

The loss is due to his unsteady heart, so he had no confidence when he went in, so he was kicked out.

Soon, Bai Baiqi adjusted his mentality and re-entered a pharmacy with Bai Jasmine.

This time, instead of driving them out, the man at the pharmacy asked them to take out the herbs and check them.

"Yo, yes, this is an herb that has been dried?"

"Well, yes, shopkeeper, do you accept it?" During the day, he glanced at the shopkeeper with a fixed look.

"Yes, of course." The shopkeeper nodded.

"What about the price?"

"The price is naturally calculated according to the price circulating in the market. This He Shou Wu, fifteen texts, the first half of the summer, twenty-three texts, motherwort, twenty texts ......"

After waiting for the shopkeeper's report, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Bai Qi with a narrow and sharp gaze, and then opened his mouth with a smile.

"What do you think of the price?"

"Are you sure it's all the price on the market? Shopkeeper, we are the villagers around here, if the price you give is fair, then we can continue to cooperate, don't blame us. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The shopkeeper shook his head, but a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

After testing, he learned that the two people in front of him did not understand herbal medicine.

As for how these herbs came from, and whether there is any hope of cooperation next time, he can't say for sure.

In this way, when he deliberately quoted a price lower by half, he could be regarded as earning.

"How much silver can these sell for?"

"Sit down for a while, have a cup of tea and a snack, and when my apprentice finishes weighing the herbs, I'll settle the bill for you." Don't worry, I will cooperate with you sincerely, and I will naturally not cheat you. The shopkeeper said thoughtful words.

"Hmm." Bai Baiqi snorted, picked up the tea on the side and took a sip.

White Jasmine stared at the snack for a long time, and finally couldn't help but pinch one and eat it.

While they were eating, they heard the shopkeeper say that the medicine was settled, and that they were going to pay for it.

White Jasmine swallowed the rest of the snack in one gulp, and secretly took out her handkerchief while no one was paying attention, wrapped two of them and stuffed them into her sleeve.

"A total of one hundred and seventeen texts, for the sake of our first cooperation, I will give you one hundred and twenty texts."

"Why?" Bai Qi frowned.

He remembered clearly that Bai Jinli went to the county with such a basket of herbs on his back for the first time, and it was sold for more than 200 yuan.

"Look at what you said, I also asked you about the price, you said yes, the thing is weighed by our apprentice, there will definitely be no problem. If you don't think you can do it, then go to another house. ”

"Dad, more than 100 texts, a lot. If we make a few more trips, we'll be able to save some money. Bai Jasmine hurriedly pulled Bai Qi's sleeve.

The shopkeeper saw these in his eyes, became more and more sure of his guesses, and smiled more kindly on the surface.

"Okay then." Although Bai Tianqi felt that something was wrong, he could only agree.

Who made him not understand these markets, unlike those who used to buy things, they knew the price and everything.

The two of them took the money and came out of the pharmacy, and Bai Jasmine looked happy.

"Dad, I picked this herb, can you give me some of it as private money?"

"Well, I'll give you twenty wen, and I'll send the rest to your brother." Strange during the day.

"Okay."

After the two of them saw Bai Xiaoming, they planned to rush home, Bai Jasmine pinched the twenty wen in her hand, and the six wen that Bai Jinli gave her before, a total of twenty-six wen, a little itchy.

In the end, she couldn't resist going to a stall, bought a box of rouge with her only twenty-six yuan, and gave her a new head rope with the stall owner.

After getting the things she bought with the money she earned, Bai Jasmine was happy, and she was happy all the way.

"Dad, in the future, I will be diligent, collect more herbs, and we will go to that house to sell for money."

"Well, let's change homes next time." Strange during the day.

"Why?"

"You don't understand, it's better to ask a few more, and you can compare prices."

"Dad, you're still smart, you're right."

The two of them traveled for a long time, but they returned home.

As soon as Bai Jasmine put down the back basket, went to the kitchen to pour two bowls of water, and handed Bai Bai Qi a bowl to drink, she saw Niu Shi walk out and open her mouth with a panicked face.

"Oh no, you know? Something happened! ”
