028, rotten peach blossom (1)
Early in the morning three days later, Liu Jun borrowed Lao Litou's ox cart and went to the town with a cart full of herbs.
Liu Jiaojiao didn't follow, so this time Liu Jun had to do business with Baohetang by herself.
In the past three days, she and Liu Jun took two free coolies up the mountain to dig herbs during the day, and came back in the afternoon to direct the two coolies to sort the herbs and put them in the yard to dry, and she went to find Lao Li to cover his hat, and changed his way to learn cooking from him.
Liu Jun said at the beginning that she would learn by herself, and Liu Jiaojiao would just sit there and wait to eat, but how could the task released by the system not be completed with heart, so Liu Jiaojiao directly refused and insisted on learning by herself.
In fact, the reason why Liu Jun gave up was just a simple sentence, because Liu Jiaojiao said that she learned to be the first to make for him to eat, and as soon as the little brother was excited, he immediately said that his sister can go if you want to, as long as you are happy.
Liu Jiaojiao deliberately didn't come with her today, she wanted to cultivate Liu Jun's communication skills, after all, she couldn't accompany her little brother for a lifetime, and there were some things he had to learn.
When he arrived at Baohetang, Lei Zhong immediately greeted him in person, and the sharp-eyed guy recognized the driver as Liu Jun from afar.
"Hey, you're here!" Lei Zhong's expression seemed to be very excited, and he looked behind him as he spoke, "What about Jiaojiao?" Didn't come? ”
Liu Jun jumped out of the ox cart and replied, "She didn't come, do you have something to do with my sister?" ”
Lei Zhong immediately became a little anxious, kept rubbing his hands, hesitated for a while, asked the guy to help unload the car, and then pulled Liu Jun to the inner room, and said in a low voice: "We said inside, you are her brother, you should be the master." ”
Liu Jun was a little puzzled, but he had a good impression of Lei Zhong, so he let him pull him into the back room.
After entering the house, Lei Zhong closed the door, then pulled him to the desk and sat down, and then said softly: "Didn't Jiaojiao put the hundred-year-old ginseng you dug up last time and put it on my consignment?" Now there is a buyer, because the other party is in a hurry to get medicine to save his life, so the price is very high. But after all, the thing belongs to you, and I can't make the decision for you, so I have been dragging it out and not daring to sell it. I thought you would come the day before yesterday, but who knew that you would only come today, the main buyers are not ordinary people, if you don't come today, I don't think you can drag it on. ”
Only then did Liu Jun understand why Lei Zhong was so anxious to ask Liu Jiaojiao if she had come when she saw him, after all, the old ginseng was hers, and she had to call the shots in this matter.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who is the buyer?" How much does it cost? You said they were going to save lives, what was the situation? ”
Lei Zhong has always dealt with Liu Jiaojiao, and some ignored this young man who was always silent, but at this moment, it seems that this young man is not very old, but he is very calm in life, and he immediately nodded secretly in his heart with some relief.
"The buyer is a big forester in the town, he has only one daughter under his knees, regarded as jewelry, but not long ago suddenly fell ill, the town doctors were invited to see, all said that they were not saved, who expected to come a wandering man, it seems that there are some means, said that it can be cured, but it needs a hundred years old ginseng as a medicine. So the forester offered a high price to collect hundred-year-old ginseng, you know, such a precious medicinal material ordinary pharmacy can not have, the whole town is the only one. Because I promised Jiaojiao to sell her a good price, I found some friends to help, and this matter was somehow known by the forester, and the day before yesterday I personally came to ask for medicine, and offered a thousand taels of silver. I tried my best to shirk it, but after all, it was about his love for women's lives, and he was a little anxious, if you didn't come again today, I would have to go to you. Although I have some family background, I really can't afford to offend someone with a lot of money like a forester. ”
Lei Zhong told Liu Jun as much as possible about the matter, in fact, he was also very helpless, if the old ginseng was his, not to mention the price, he would definitely sell it directly if he could save someone's life, but the old ginseng was not his, and he couldn't do this kind of treacherous thing without everyone's consent.
Liu Jun nodded, indicating that she was clear.
One thousand taels of silver is already an astronomical amount, which shows the determination of the forester to win, and according to Lei Zhong, this forester is quite fair, at least he did not do anything by force, but he was a little anxious because he was too worried about the safety of his beloved daughter.
Liu Jun didn't know what Liu Jiaojiao's expected price was for this old ginseng, but he felt that the price given by the forester was already very good, and saving people's lives was better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and his sister was so kind, she would definitely not save her for the sake of death.
So, he only hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You sell it to him, saving people is the most important." ”
"Okay! Just have your words! Lei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat that came out of his head, "Then I'll go to his house immediately to send the old ginseng, the cow shopkeeper and the guy will deal with the herbs you brought, don't be in a hurry to leave first, wait for me to come back!" ”
Liu Jun nodded in response, and the two of them went out of the inner hall, one hurriedly went out with a box containing old ginseng, and the other walked slowly to the counter to wait for the herb to be liquidated and discounted.
On the other side, Liu Jiaojiao met an uninvited guest at home.
Time had to go back to the morning.
As soon as Liu Jun left, the willow roots and the calf obediently came to the old mansion to work.
After two days of getting along, they found that compared to Liu Jun, Liu Jiaojiao, who can actually speak again, is the one who is the most difficult to mess with.
Although Liu Jun has an indifferent appearance and is said to be superior in force, he has never heard of who he has ever done to him, but Liu Jiaojiao is different, she looks thin and small, and she always has a smile on her face, but she really does it without saying a word, and the angle of the attack is called a tricky, and it is called a ruthless.
Liu Shugen has already given her a nickname called "Female King" behind her back, of course, this matter is only known to Xiao Niu, and he was slapped on the head by Niu a few times, telling him not to leak his mouth in front of Liu Jiaojiao, otherwise Niu will definitely not save him, and he will bear the consequences if he is beaten.
But they don't hate Liu Jiaojiao, because this little girl is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, she said that she would work for three months for nothing, and she would not include three meals, but in fact, every time they arrived at the meal, they would prepare some food, and the key was that it was delicious, all of which they had never eaten or seen before.
It's a pity that it's too ferocious, otherwise the willow root must have given her the nickname "Little Fairy".
Just as Liu Jiaojiao was about to take them up the mountain, someone walked in through the open gate.
"Brother Liu Jun, come out quickly, I'll bring you something delicious!"
Liu Jiaojiao followed the prestige, and saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old walking in, with delicate facial features and a slender figure. Dressed in a lotus pink dress, there are two small pear vortices at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, and her big eyes are watery, and she seems to be able to shed tears at any time, giving people a particularly soft and pitiful feeling.
Coupled with a soft and glutinous voice like a coquettish voice, plus the sentence "Brother Liu Jun" with its own transliteration, the corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched suddenly, and the first thought in her heart was that this girl was either a white lotus or a green tea table, and she didn't know where the little brother provoked the rotten peach blossoms.
