Chapter 17 Star Fruit Catches the Market
Carambola sat on pins and needles in the car, if it weren't for the fact that the uncle had already paid the money first, she would have planned to walk, no faster than walking, and she was tossed back pain and leg pain, which was simply a crime of spending money.
Fortunately, the time was not long, but when he arrived in the town, Liu Laosan parked the car at the corner of the town and specially instructed the star fruit to gather in the afternoon, so as not to delay everyone's return trip.
Carambola remembered Liu Laosan's words and left with his uncle Yang Junkang, and the time for him to return to the school was in the afternoon, so he had enough time to accompany his niece to sell mountain goods and go to the pawnshop.
In fact, star fruit can go by herself, but the uncle is worried that she will be deceived alone, so it is good to have someone to accompany her, at least Yang Junkang is familiar with the bad environment here, and finding a place can save time.
In fact, she didn't need to set up a stall to go to the market this time, she only needed to go to the shop in the town to mortgage the silver hairpin, and then sell the herbs she dried to the pharmacy for recycling, and the most important purpose was to go to the Rejuvenation Hall to invite Dr. Lu.
Yang Junkang took the star fruit to the door of a store, "The business here is fair, if you want to redeem it in the future, you won't be a tongue." β
The market is open on the bustling main street, extending to the east and west, and extending to the quieter suburbs outside the city, and there are still pedestrians on the street, some carrying burdens and hurrying on the road, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, and some driving horse-drawn wagons, a prosperous scene.
The pawnshop is located next to the street, and a banner hangs on the high cornice, with a large pawn character written on it.
Looking up at the faΓ§ade again, there is a gilded plaque hanging directly above, which reads "Juyuan Pawnshop".
Yang Junkang walked in front, star fruit followed, just like what I saw in the TV series, a half-person high counter, and a young man sitting in the window sat in the cabinet.
Star fruit is not nonsense, took out the silver hairpin from his arms, and bargained several times before he became five taels of silver, although the star fruit was reluctant, but for the sake of his father's illness, he had to temporarily let it stay here.
After kicking the pawn ticket and taking the money, Yang Junkang walked out of the pawnshop, and Yang Junkang took the star fruit to the Huichun Hall, which was not located on the bustling main street, but at the corner of the intersection.
The three big characters of "Rejuvenation Hall" came into the eyes of star fruit, and when I walked into the pharmacy, a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine came to my nose.
In the past, star fruit went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and when I happened to see the medicine cabinet selling Chinese patent medicine, I felt that the herbs there smelled smoky, but today's mood is different, and the medicine of this era relies on traditional Chinese medicine, so I like the fragrance of the herbs very much.
When the young man at the pharmacy saw someone coming in, his eyes lit up, and there was a clear difference in the clothes on the two of them.
Men are not brocades, but they are much better than girls.
The girl is tall and delicate, especially those light eyes, which make people feel like spring.
He said enthusiastically: "The two of you, please come in, do you want to take medicine or see a doctor?" If it is a doctor, it is really unfortunate, Lu Langzhong is not there. β
"Absent?" Yang Junkang was a little disappointed, he had just been delayed in the pawnshop, and now it was noon, although he was not in a hurry to go to school, but his niece had to take the car back.
"When will Lu Langzhong come back?"
Yang Junkang was a little anxious and hurriedly asked.
"The boss went out to see a doctor, and it is estimated that he will not be back until after noon, if you are not in a hurry, just sit here and wait."
Yang Junkang looked at the star fruit, and was a little anxious, "I can only wait, by the way, don't you bring medicinal herbs with peaches?" It must be able to be recycled here, otherwise you can ask if you are idle. β
Star fruit originally wanted to go to other pharmacies to ask, sell more and sell less can bargain, this is a medical hall opened by Lu Langzhong, and it costs money to invite people to treat diseases, and then it is a bit restrained to sell herbs.
Since the uncle opened his mouth and the young man also heard it, it didn't hurt to ask, "Little brother, do you recycle herbs here?" β
"Accept it, and the price is absolutely reasonable, our boss is absolutely fair."
When the star fruit heard this, she got up and stood up and took out the dried herbs in her back basket, handed them to the young man, and said, "Do you accept these parsnip, bupleurum and psyllium?" β
The young man looked at the herbs in her basket and frowned a little, "Harvest is harvest, but your herbs are simply dried and not concocted?" β
Star fruit didn't know herbal medicine at all before, but it was the last time she heard what Xiaofeng said in the mountains, and she remembered it vividly.
"No, I know that the herbs will be better after the processing process, but the conditions at home are not good, and there is no cooking container, so I ......"
Carambola didn't want her hard work to be in vain, because she learned from Xiaofeng that the herbs that were not concocted were also recycled, but the price would be reduced by half.
"I know, the price is good according to the price of your pharmacy, I heard that it can be recycled without concoction."
Star fruit was a little uneasy, for fear that the pharmacy would not accept it, so the hard work of himself and Meizi in the past few days would be in vain, and dozens of catties of herbs were dried to get such a dozen catties of fruit.
"It turns out that you know, we also accept the herbs that are not concocted, but the price is lower, if you don't care, I will go to the shopkeeper to negotiate the price for you, you wait."
Carambola nodded, and when she saw the little guy going out to find someone like a scud, she looked back at Yang Junkang and smiled: "Uncle, do you see, my sister and I are not busy in vain, we can also make money!" β
Yang Junkang was also happy, he watched his sister carry a basket of herbs back in the past few days, and the process of tiling and turning over and drying was very hard, and now he can sell it for money, and he is happy for her.
After a while, an old man in his fifties came out of the back hall, and the young man followed behind, "Shopkeeper Jiang, these two are the herbs I just told you about selling herbs, you can take a good look, how much are her herbs worth?" β
The shopkeeper Jiang walked and talked to the young man, "Xiaomi, what's wrong with today, isn't it just to recycle a medicinal herb, as for such a hurry." β
Xiaomi followed behind, a little anxious, and said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, I see that people seem to be in a hurry, and they seem to be students from the town school with a bookbag on their backs, just hurry up." β
The shopkeeper Jiang walked to the counter, raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, just like the feeling when Xiaomi first met, looking at the polite eyes stolen by the star fruit, he also felt that this girl had a good upbringing.
Looking at the clean and white patches on her body, you can see that her family is not wealthy, which is in contrast to the boy next to her.
"Girl......"
As soon as the shopkeeper Jiang opened his mouth, the star fruit replied politely: "The shopkeeper Jiang just calls me a peach." β
"Peach girl, Millet told me just now that the price of your unconcocted herb will ......"
"I know, I heard someone say that this herb can be sold for money before I try it, you can look at it and give a price!"
Star fruit politely explained, and it was indeed after listening to Xiaofeng mention it that I thought of exchanging this for money.
"This parsnip is not concocted, just two pennies a catty, psyllium two pennies a catty, this Bupleurum is more generally worthless, a penny a catty, peach girl, do you still see your herbs sold?"
