Liu Yuan's face was red, and he didn't know how to answer, which in the eyes of the shopkeeper, he regretted not being at the beginning.

The young master who lives in the mountains? The shopkeeper's inspiration flashed, as if unintentionally: "Little girl, what does the person who buys snake gall from you look like?" What's the use of buying it? ”

Lan Ya frowned as if thinking deeply for a while, and said: "That young master was twelve or thirteen years old, when my brother and a dozen hunters were hunting pythons, he was going to the mountain, and when he saw that my brother had snake gall, he wanted to buy it, saying that he wanted to use it for the old lady's eyes." ”

After speaking, Lan Ya tugged at Liu Yuan's cuffs and said, "Brother, let's go back, talk to the young master, we will sell it for fifteen taels of silver, you are still waiting to marry and say daughter-in-law!" ”

Liu Yuan's face was as red as a red cloth at this time, where is this? It's as if I want to get married.

Seeing that the two figures had already turned to the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly shouted: "Little brother, please stay, let's discuss the price again." ”

Seeing the little girl standing with the young man's cuffs, the shopkeeper sneered and said: "Little brother, you can find the young master in the year of the monkey and Ma Yue, and when you find and sell it to him, you will already marry a daughter-in-law, and you can't say that your son can run all over the ground, you can let me sell it again, eight taels of silver, not a penny more......

Lan Ya hesitated: "But the dowry is ten taels of silver, and you have to make silk quilts, happy tents, and bride's heads...... What's the matter, no matter what, I have to pay eleven taels of silver......."

Seeing that the little girl counted more than twenty kinds, and finally only added one or two taels of silver, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you eleven taels of silver, how about letting your brother marry a beautiful daughter-in-law?" ”

Lan Ya looked at Liu Yuan's cuffs happily and said happily: "Brother, there is a bride price...... Oh, no, there's still a ...... for the mother's meat."

The right eyelid of the shopkeeper Wang jumped, this little girl is really calculating, I am afraid that I will think of some money such as needles and threads after a while, so I hurriedly went back to the backyard and got the silver, for fear that the little girl would regret it.

When the little girl and the little boy walked out of the yard diligently, the little girl was shocked: "Shopkeeper, these two people look like they don't often sell medicinal herbs, and they are still poor ghosts, why don't you lower the price as much as the old woman sold the ginseng yesterday?" ”

The shopkeeper of the king glared at the little guy with his eyes and said, "Do you know that the eyes are alive and called me up?" ”

The little guy was frightened and was explaining, but he saw that the shopkeeper Wang was in a good mood and continued: "Thanks to you for calling me up, otherwise let such a good business run to the opposite Wang Laoqi, Xu Langzhong would have played the donkey again." This snake gall is an adult python gall at first glance, as big as a man's fist, and it is sold to a rich and noble family at least a few times, haven't you heard that the little girl is going to sell it to the Zhuo family just now? Can there be less of a reward? ”

The little guy was puzzled: "How do you know that it is the Zhuo family?" That young man didn't look like the young master of the Zhuo family. ”

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said: "You monkey cub, I don't know this time, if it was Young Master Zhuo, I wouldn't buy it without lowering the price, there are so many guards in Zhuo's mansion, not to mention pythons, it's dragon meat, and people can get it from heaven to earth." This person who is in a hurry to buy snake gall must be the young master Yin who has been cooling off every year, there is no doubt that the Yin family is unwilling, but he runs a lot of business, and he also helps the Zhuo family to take charge of the imperial emperor and Zhuangzi who stay in Nanchuan. ”

The little guy listened to the analysis of the shopkeeper Wang, and couldn't help but admire the shopkeeper again, and the sober little guy suddenly remembered that the little girl had not given the benefits after the sale, and hurriedly left the medical hall, but saw that the little girl just now was already standing in the Xu's medical hall on the opposite street.

The little guy silently mourned for the shopkeeper for a minute, but I was afraid that the shopkeeper Wang's wishful thinking this time was wrong, and there must be a lot of snake gall in the basket of the little girl.

Liu Yuan followed Lan Ya to all the medical halls and barefoot medical offices in Longtou Town, and looked at Lan Ya selling most of the snake gall bladder with a deceptive tongue, and the price was high and low, completely depending on the mood of the little girl.

For example, Lang Zhong in the Wang's Medical Center opposite, she looked at her kind eyebrows, and the snake gallbladder that was as big as the Xu's Medical Center was only sold for five taels of silver, and five small snake gallbladders were also included; Another example is when I met an old woman with an eye disease, she raised her hand and gave two for nothing.

Putting the last copper coin in his arms, seeing that Liu Yuan's mind had not turned back, he said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't think about it anymore, be careful to break your head, of course we snake galls can't be sold in the same place, more than worth much, and it also makes people guess." ”

After a day's walk, the sun had begun to set in the west, and both of them were so busy that they forgot to rest for lunch, and when they arrived at the city gate, they smelled the fragrant smell of steamed buns from a distance.

Seeing that it was a little girl from the countryside, the boss did not dislike Lan Ya's worn, and smiled enthusiastically: "Little girl, buy buns?" There are wild vegetable and pork fillings, there are vegan wild vegetable fillings, meat Wuwen, vegetarian Sanwen, what kind of come? ”

Lan Ya hurriedly said: "Meaty, meaty, ten, no, twenty." ”

Liu Yuan followed, and smiled awkwardly at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm sorry, I won't need so much to discuss again." ”

Shopkeeper Liu replied: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, what is polite about our relationship." ”

Liu Yuan tugged at the corner of Lan Ya's clothes and said: "Lan Ya, although the snake gall is sold at a good price, there are more than 20 taels of silver, but it can't be too big, and buy so many meat buns to go back, your grandmother will definitely know that you have silver, and you have to pull it out desperately." ”

Lan Ya smiled: "Brother Liu, you have been with me for a day, where do you see that I am a generous person who does not hold grudges?" Rest assured, this is the money to buy the house, and she won't be let know. ”

He turned around and told the shopkeeper how to wrap the twenty buns in oiled paper, three buns together, ten buns together, one bun together, and finally six buns together.

handed the ten and three to Liu Yuan and said, "Big brother, these three are for you to eat, and these ten are for your aunt and Sister Hong'er to take back to eat." ”

He picked up an oily paper bag of buns, and when he took a bite of it, the aroma spread in his throat.

Liu Yuan's face was flushed, and he said that he would push the bun back to Lan Ya, Lan Ya smiled: "You ran with me for a day, and you didn't even provide food, what kind of person have I become, you should pay for errands." ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan was still reluctant to accept it, the shopkeeper Liu on the side wrapped two more hot buns, handed them to Lan Ya and said: "Don't push it, the little girls are so transparent, I can't lag behind, these two buns are given to the little girl by me." ”

Lan Ya took the steamed bun with a smile and said to the shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper, if you take this method every day, you don't have to eat leftover buns every night, and you will sell them quickly." ”

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes flashed, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and nodded frequently at Lan Ya.

Liu Yuan no longer shirked, put the oil-paper bags of ten buns in the back basket, grabbed another oil-paper bag, and took a big bite of the buns like Lan Ya, making a satisfied chewing sound.

The two rushed back to the pork shop and drove the ox cart back to Yujia Village.

Lan Ya remembered Shopkeeper Liu's words, and said to Liu Yuan: "Brother Liu, Shopkeeper Liu's meat is here for you, right?" ”

Liu Yuan said proudly: "Well, my father works sincerely, buys meat and helps to work, Liu shopkeeper goes to my house every day to buy thirty catties of pork, my father gets up before dawn, helps chop pork filling, and chopping is an hour." ”

Lan Ya was shocked, if he had sold a whole pig in the morning, the willow butcher would not have to sleep the night before.

Seeing Lan Ya's surprise, Liu Yuan said with a worried face: "I know that you are worried that my father is tired, and when I am busy in winter, I will go to the shop to help, if it weren't for the fact that my mother and sister are not safe in the village alone, I would have been selling pork in the town like my father." ”

Lan Ya smiled: "Worry about this, busy with that, in the future, I will earn money, and I will not be reunited as a family when I move to the town." ”

Liu Yuan said with a dark face: "The houses in the town are much more expensive than those in the village. ”

What Liu Yuan didn't say was that Liu was anxious about his family affairs, and was going to build a three-room blue brick house in the village first, and the whole family moved to the town.

When I got home, it was already very much in the palm of the lamp, and Lan Ya, who was in a hurry to enter the house, did not see a figure coming back from the thatched house, and entered the house directly.

handed the bun in his hand to the three little sisters, and went to find Yu Sanguang and his wife, Hai and a few girls trembled and hid in the quilt to bite the happy expression of the bun, Lan Ya actually felt that it turned out that happiness can be so simple.

The silver in the basket with copper plates was poured on the kang, and the silver and copper swayed Hai Shi and Yu Sanguang's eyes.

And when they were counted, there were twenty-two taels. He put four taels of them in his arms and prepared to hand them over to Yu Fangjun to pay the final payment of the house and the deed, and the rest of the furniture was pushed in front of Hai's eyes and said: "Mother, the big things are almost tossed, and the day after tomorrow, we will even move to the mountain with the thin soft, and you will completely become a housekeeper." ”

Hai Shi shook his head hurriedly and said: "Ya'er, don't let me here, I can't even keep a piece of clothing, Lan Ya doesn't dare to wear new clothes now, you still take care of the money, my mother will ask you when she uses the money." ”

Lan Ya felt the same, so she simply wrapped the silver in a layer of furoshi and put it in a basket on the beam.

The mothers stayed for a while, and then the Hai family and Yu Sanguang went back to the back room. Hearing the sound of a broom sweeping to the ground outside, Hai muttered, "Isn't it windy?" ”

Lan Ya frowned, blew out the oil lamp, and after a while, heard a sound of footsteps, Lan Ya's sharp eyes stared at the basket on the beam, and her eyes were deep and deep, until the three sisters slept deeply, and then whispered a whistle.

After breakfast the next day, He came out of Zhang's house, stared at Hai who was taking things out with disdain, and said sourly: "Third brother and sister, if there is anything you haven't picked up, sister-in-law will help you."
