Chapter 40: Catch up again

After an hour's effort, the ox cart stopped steadily at the edge of the market in Jinghe Town, Liu Laosan still said the same thing, and when he came back in the afternoon, he still gathered here.

Everyone said goodbye to Liu Laosan with what they wanted to buy and sell, and the star fruit ran directly to the Rejuvenation Hall with the heavy herbs on their backs.

Before he arrived at the door of the Rejuvenation Hall, he saw Xiaomi walking towards him and stepped forward to greet him: "Isn't this the peach girl?" Are you selling herbs again? ”

Carambola watched him take the basket with his hand and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but it was really tiring, his own sister-in-law stayed out of the matter, and looked at the small work of the Rejuvenation Hall.

"Brother Xiaomi, is your boss here?"

Star fruit asked tentatively, to be honest, her main purpose was to treat her father's illness, and if she was treated with acupuncture earlier, she would have more hope.

Xiaomi is a boy in the end, and he walked into the Rejuvenation Hall with the basket on his back easily, and said as he walked: "The boss has been in a bit of a hurry at home recently, and I can go to your Yangjia Village for treatment after I finish dealing with it." ”

When star fruit heard this, she felt a little confident in her heart, but she didn't know what happened to his family, was it to propose to her sister-in-law? I don't know how he has spent the past 20 years, and he has blindly fallen in love with his sister-in-law.

When I raised my feet and entered the door, I saw a familiar face, and the star fruit greeted the shopkeeper Jiang with a bright smile, "Shopkeeper Jiang, it's good to come in, I'm here again!" ”

The shopkeeper Jiang was counting the account books on the counter, his old eyes were dizzy, and when he saw the star fruit coming, he put on a kind smile and said: "Welcome, welcome, the peach girl is here, what different medicinal materials will you bring this time?" ”

Star fruit blushed, walked in and pointed to the medicinal herbs in the basket and said, "What are the different medicinal materials?" Recently, there is something at home, and I haven't gone much into the mountains, and I want to thank the shopkeeper Jiang for accepting my white fungus at a high price last time, in fact, you can return it to me last time......"

Shopkeeper Jiang was surprised at first, and then said with relief: "The peach girl is really smart, it's okay, the boss picks the white fungus and I buy it here There is no conflict, there are people in the family who are weak, buy more emergency use." ”

Star fruit knew that people were not short of money, so they didn't have a description of begging for nothing, and paid attention to the topic: "This time I have made a little progress in drying it than before, and the color is a little better. ”

The shopkeeper Jiang listened to it and looked at the medicinal herbs in her basket, and there were still parsnip, psyllium, bupleurum, licorice and skullcap from last time......

Sure enough, the color was much better than before, and the Jiang shopkeeper let Millet weigh two catties, and said to Bian and the star fruit: "Peach girl, see that you have a very high talent for distinguishing medicinal herbs, wouldn't you be able to make more money if you concoct this herb again?" ”

Seeing that he had brought up the old words again, Carambola shook his head and said, "Thank you for the reminder from Shopkeeper Jiang, but the conditions at my home do not allow it, and secondly, I don't have a master to teach this area. ”

The shopkeeper Jiang had a fine light in his eyes, and he knew from her tone that this girl must have found a way to make money before giving up the unfamiliar concocted herbs, and she still wanted her to learn how to concoct and make a lot of money, but it seemed that she was worrying about nothing.

After weighing the catties, I made a total of 200 yuan, and the star fruit was already good in my hand.

Seeing that Dr. Lu who was sitting in the hall was not there, he looked a little lost, but he still asked: "Shopkeeper Jiang, in addition to selling medicinal materials, I also want to discuss with Dr. Lu to treat my father's illness, I don't know if he can still come to the pharmacy for a consultation today?" ”

Shopkeeper Jiang raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and then said to the star fruit: "I won't come in the morning, but I will definitely come to sit in the afternoon, and I will leave when there are no patients." ”

"Irregular? Surely it will come in the afternoon, right? After the star fruit asked, she was relieved to see the shopkeeper Jiang nodding affirmatively, and turned around to look at the door, it was still morning, so if she went down to guard the pharmacy, she would definitely be able to wait for Dr. Lu.

She made up her mind and said to the shopkeeper Jiang: "I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll come back after noon, if Dr. Lu comes, I'll help him stay for a while." ”

After saying that, he was grateful for a long time before leaving the Rejuvenation Hall, and as soon as the star fruit left on the front foot, the Jiang shopkeeper called Millet to his ear and muttered a few words, and Millet nodded before walking out of the Rejuvenation Hall.

Touching the belly, it's almost noon, the market is endless, very lively, the last time I went back to the plum to bring the meat stuffed buns, the plum was very happy, she bought ten more in the market, there is that roadblock, the buns will definitely be robbed by him.

After buying steamed buns, star fruit was reluctant to eat, and found a wonton stall again, and ate a bowl of wontons for three yuan, which is similar to the modern practice, but there is no coriander seasoning, and I don't know that there is no small vendor in this era who can't afford to spend more costs.

When I was full, I walked to the stall selling baked cakes and bought a few baked cakes in my arms, which was not easy to find, so I only left it for my father and Meizi to eat.

When she came to the butcher stall, the pork offered to her grandmother was indispensable, although she and the plum could not be eaten every time, but in order to block her grandmother's mouth, she still weighed two catties ruthlessly.

She saw the owner of the butcher's stall throw the pig's internal organs on the ground, obviously it was not in the ranks of the sale, the last time I came, I wanted to buy it, but there is no place to steam, now you can use the stove in private, so buy some back to boil to relieve hunger.

The old Wang Tou, who sold pork, didn't plan to leave after weighing the pork, so he asked, "Little girl, why don't you leave after buying pork?" ”

Hearing this, the star fruit blinked innocently and looked at the old Wang Tou and said, "Uncle, I want to ask you if you still want the large intestine and small intestine of the pig on the ground, as well as the heart, liver and lungs of the pig?" ”

Star fruit is very skillful, if you say you want to buy, then the general business people are very shrewd, obviously put away what you don't want to sell at a higher price.

She opened her mouth and asked if she wanted it, then the boss would definitely think that this girl was young and her family was not rich, and she would want to ask for it, so she was talking about money and said that she would buy it, and the boss would definitely be very happy, and she didn't have to spend a high price.

admired his cleverness, and sure enough, the boss looked at the star fruit and said to her, "Girl, didn't you buy meat?" These things are so bad and unpalatable that I'm going to throw them away! ”

Star fruit looked a little pitiful and said: "These meats were bought for grandma, but my father is sick and wants to eat meat, so I want to buy these things, boss, you see how much you bought these together." ”

Lao Wangtou lived a handful of years, how could he not know the seriousness of patriarchy in the countryside, and bought meat for grandma, indicating that the child in front of him could not eat meat, and turned back to the old woman and said: "Old woman, this child wants our pig intestines and internal organs, do you think you can give a total of fifteen yuan?" ”

The old woman looked like she was sixty years old, she raised her eyes and looked at the star fruit, she was dressed plainly, and her thin figure made people feel distressed, her dark eyes looked particularly pure, and the old man looked very eye-catching, so she came over, and put the pig's internal organs together with a straw rope and handed it over, and said gently: "Seeing that your family is not rich, give Shiwen, anyway, we plan to throw it away." ”
