Chapter 397: Harvest Grain

Qi Tong was driven away by Lin Xiaowan for the reason that: Lady, I'm not in the mood to talk to Mr. Qi now, what kind of apparatus are you talking about, I want to appease my injured Xianggong, Oak no?

Qi Tong didn't understand what Oak meant, anyway, looking at Lin Xiaowan's expression, he refused to chat with him.

I had no choice but to run away.

But before that, he was caught by Lin Xiaowan.

Carrying Guo Chengling to the bed and lying on this temporary operating table was too uncomfortable.

After finishing it, Lin Xiaowan waved her hand: "Mr. Qi, you can go out first, I still have something to say to my father-in-law." ”

Whispers, can't be heard.

Then Qi went out and waited, and just found a place to sit in the shade, the coachman came in and asked, "Mr. Qi, when will you return?" ”

Qi Tong glared: "What's the hurry." ”

He said these words, and then waved his hand impatiently to drive away.

The driver was reluctant, but there was no way, who made him just a car driver. It's a pity that he didn't eat in the morning, and he wondered if it would be too late to go back. After I went back, I had nothing to do, I could rest for half a day, but I could find a place to have a good meal and drink a little wine.

I didn't expect it to be the current situation.

My belly has long been hungry, and I don't know how many times I've screamed when my stomach is rumbling. Now he regretted it, and he should have taken the initiative to let Miss Xin get into his car, so that he wouldn't have to starve here.

The most important thing is that Qi Tong's face is too unsightly.

How did he know that Xin Tian'er and her party were not so easy.

Coming out of Xinghua Village to the town, I came all the way and asked many farmers if they had any medicine in the mountains, whether they were drying it or not. However, there is not a single family that makes a living by collecting medicines.

Judging from the experience of Xin Tian'er's father, Xin Zecheng, there will always be many villagers who collect medicine in the mountains, and some are lucky enough to encounter some rare medicinal materials.

For example, the wild ginseng with a long name.

This is also the reason why Xin Zecheng asked Xin Tian'er and them to purchase medicinal materials by the way.

There was no one in the village, so they went to the pharmacy in the town to ask. Maybe someone will sell it to the pharmacy?

It's just that nothing has been found.

I heard from the shopkeeper of the pharmacy that there is no here, so I am allowed to go to Yulin County to have a look, and then go to Lingchuan County.

Speaking of Lingchuan County, the shopkeeper patted his thigh and said, "Yes, this line is not guaranteed." The West Mountain Forest on the other side of Lingchuan is a treasure mountain. Some people say, not long ago, there was a wild fox over there, worth 10,000 taels. ”

Zheng Qiankun knew about the fox, Xin Tian'er also heard about it, and as soon as he told the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was interested, and he had to pull Zheng Qiankun to tell him more news.

Zheng Qiankun excused himself: "I also know this news, and I have already said it...... Thank you for the news of the shopkeeper first, let's go to Lingchuan to take a look, and we will come back in a hurry, so we won't bother you anymore. ”

After speaking, he shouted Xin Tian'er and walked out.

Xin Tian'er asked Zheng Qiankun, "Teacher, are you going?" ”

Zheng Qiankun thought for a while and said, "Go and go around, it's hard to get out." On weekdays, your father treats you as a treasure, and he is reluctant to let you come out in the wind and sun. Now that you're out, take a walk. ”

"But on my father's side, may I need help?" Xin Tian'er hesitated.

"Let him do his own thing. When he didn't have you before, no matter how busy he was, didn't he always come by himself. Zheng Qiankun obviously didn't feel sorry for Xin Zecheng, but was happy to see him busy and dizzy.

Xin Tian'er deliberately eased Bai Ju's emotions and asked her, "Bai Ju, what do you think?" ”

"I listen to Miss, you can go when you say go, and you will go back when you say so." Bai Ju said indifferently.

Xin Tian'er sighed.

Get...... This little girl's temper is still up.

Xin Tian'er felt that it was still early, and it was really good to go out for a walk. So, let the coachman go.

On the way, Xin Tian'er pulled Bai Ju in, pretended to be angry and asked her, did she plan to get along with her like this in the future? I can't be a sister anymore.

Bai Ju's face was full of grievances, and she sobbed and said, "Of course I want to be good with Miss, but ...... But ......"

"What's the good thing, don't you just think I'm not biased towards you?" Xin Tian'er poked Bai Ju's head and said, "You, you, Bai has been by my side for so many years, and I haven't learned what humility and respect are at all!" And ......"

"Huh? And ah......" Bai Ju was surprised, "I'm so bad, miss?" ”

Xin Tian'er was relieved to see that Bai Ju had lost the squeamishness she had just now. Fortunately, he can hold her and understand her thoughts.

If she was allowed to sit outside all the time, Xin Tian'er felt that Bai Ju would definitely be cranky, and she might end up making a mess.

"You're not bad, you're okay." Xin Tian'er coaxed Bai Ju, and then changed her words: "You talk about you, call me Miss again and again, and as a result, you will give me a face." If you want me to coax you, I see, I'll call you Miss in the future. ”

Bai Ju grinned: "That master won't agree." ”

In this way, the matter of Bai Ju has been solved.

However, Xin Tianer still reasoned with her, laid out the facts, and let her accept it after persuasion, it was indeed her fiddling with right and wrong. Lin Xiaowan is sincere to her Xin Tian'er, and she has no other thoughts about her Bai Ju.

What happened at her house was indeed because Lin Xiaowan was too tired.

Those present can only let Bai Ju run once.

Although Bai Ju was reluctant to mention Lin Xiaowan, Xin Tian'er said that she still listened patiently.

Along the way, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

Of course, this is for Xin Tian'er. Bai Ju still endured the preaching from Zheng Qiankun.

Well, after a perfunctory look, Bai Ju couldn't help but share the scenery along the way with Xin Tian'er.

For them, who don't walk around often, every place is new. Even the same mountain and forest villages are worth watching in their eyes.

It's just that the things to be done are not as smooth as the road. Until Lingchuan County, their carriage was still empty.

Someone took out the herbs they had collected, and claimed that they were all rare. It's just that when these medicinal herbs appeared in front of Xin Tian'er's eyes, they couldn't help but be disappointed.

Ginseng is available, but it is just ordinary mountain ginseng, which has only grown for a few years, and can be bought normally.

Unfortunately, the man asked for a very high price. After Zheng Qiankun said that he didn't want it, he complained viciously, saying that poor ghosts should not come to collect medicinal materials.

Or, if you don't understand the three farts, what kind of garlic are you putting here!

There were even those who scolded and drove them out.

In short, it is to highlight a madness and corruption.

I was in a good mood, but I was messed up by these people. Bai Ju was angry, and quarreled with others. If it weren't for the fast running, he might have been picked up by the people who rushed in to copy the guys back.

The big broom is simply ruthless.

Bai Ju sighed: "Good horse, good horse, fortunately, you run fast, otherwise we will suffer." ”

Zheng Qiankun later said that this place is not far from Qinghe County, and the folk customs seem to be very different. The second thing is that it is not strong, and the most important thing is that it is too unreasonable. Moreover, it is a bit of a strong buying and selling posture.

At the beginning, Xin Tian'er's kindness was overflowing, and she wanted to accept some medicinal herbs. But the man was insatiable, and Zheng Qiankun thought of a way to escape "intact".

After that, I was much more vigilant.

So it was caused, they didn't receive anything.

In Lingchuan County, if you ask in pharmacies of all sizes, they are all ordinary medicinal materials, and there is nothing special.

The main thing is that there are not many of them.

But the shopkeeper told them that even if they had, they would have been taken in a long time ago. Now in Lingchuan County, I don't know what's going on, but all the grains, grasses and medicinal materials, there are always people who come to the door to collect them, and the price of the collection is so much higher than the ordinary price.

Because it is high, people are willing to sell.

But who buys it and why it buys, no one knows.

At first, the pharmacies were happy, and the stock was easily sold out, and then it went to stock, and it was quickly sold out. Although it made money, the problem also came out.

Many people came to grab medicine, but there was no medicine to give.

Whether it is a patient with typhoid fever, trauma, or other diseases, there is no medicine to eat. The shopkeepers of the last few pharmacies discussed, even if they were sold, they would not be sold short, and each medicinal material in the shop should be left with a base for use.

Not just medicine, but also food.

Xin Tian'er was curious, so she went to the grain store and asked. It's similar to the guy in the pharmacy, but the grain store still sells as much as he wants, and when he sells out, he goes in or collects it from a nearby village.

The people at the grain store said that something bad had happened, that is, people in nearby villages did not like to sell grain to them because of the low price.

There is a group of people who charge a much higher price.

The Great Zhou was strong and the taxes were not heavy, so every household had surplus grain, and there was a lot of it. Often, the old grain is replaced by new grain in a year, and the old grain that is replaced is sold.

I can't finish it anyway, and it's always good to sell the silver.

Xin Tian'er asked when this situation began.

The guy said, "If you sell short, that's the most recent one." In the past, there were also large buyers of grain, but they came once in a while, and the price would not be more. ”

Coming out of the grain store, Xin Tian'er always felt that it was not normal.

Zheng Qiankun also asked: "Does Qinghe County have this problem now?" ”

Xin Tian'er shook her head: "No, it's still as usual." ”

As the two were talking, they saw a group of three people enter the grain shop, and shouted: "Lao Liang, have you entered the grain in!" ”

After a while, I heard a slightly old voice say: "The amount you want is too big, and I won't be able to enter this shop for a while." Besides, I don't want to say that you also know that there are still villagers in this neighborhood who sell our grain, and I buy it in a few counties on the border, and then it takes time to transport it over. ”

But the man said, "You don't have to tell me about your difficulties, as long as I can see the grain, and when the time comes, I can't see it, then don't open your shop." ”

After the three of them left, the man asked, "Shopkeeper, what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do? That's a gang of robbers. If they can't, they'll do what they say. ”

"No, let's find the yamen, shall we?"

"Yamen? Heh......"
