Chapter 19: Selling Concubines

Widow Xie's mother's house is in Xiejiaao, west of the town, not too far away.

Ji Yu didn't want to eat rice empty-handed, knowing that her brother's family still had a few children, she spent a few copper plates to buy twenty maltose balls.

I didn't know if I could succeed in making money this time, so I kept ten of them, thinking about going back to Dacheng and my sister to eat.

Originally, I wanted to buy some more food, but the few money left in my hand was really not enough, so Widow Xie scolded her for being a waste and dragged her away.

The two hurried slowly, and finally didn't miss lunch, but this meal didn't go well.

Widow Xie's younger brother is called Xie Kun, and her daughter-in-law is Ma's family, as her name suggests.

The Xie family has five children, the younger two are fine, just staring at Ji Yu curiously with their fingers, and the older ones went directly to rummage through the basket carried by Widow Xie, and when they saw that there were only a few eggs, they were a little disappointed, and then they shouted to eat eggs.

"Is the old lady hungry for you or what? One by one, the hungry ghosts are alive, and they don't see if you deserve to eat eggs! ”

Ma said angrily, picking up the broom on the side and making a gesture to whip them: "Those eggs are treasures!" Your aunt just said that she wants to cook it for your milk, but she doesn't have your little lamb's share! ”

The one called Dawa immediately stopped obeying, and shouted at the widow: "Auntie, why are you picking, bring a few eggs with you on a trip, and don't give them to us to eat, then don't eat at my house!" ”

Ji Yu couldn't help frowning as she watched from the sidelines.

Although he is still a child, he is too uneducated to speak.

These eggs are the only things that Widow Xie's family can get their hands on, and after saving for several days, Xiao An Xiaohua cried and didn't give them to eat, and I heard that the ones I had saved before were also sent here. What's more, Widow Xie came to the door today, and it was a letter sent by Ma to Dafeng Village.

Widow Xie was silent, and was searched by her nephew in person, Rao is big heart and embarrassed panic.

Ji Yu hurriedly took out the candy balls she bought to relieve the embarrassment, although it was nothing, it was already a rare snack for the peasant children.

A few children happily ran out to play with the candy balls they had been given, and Ma's face looked better, and he finally put an extra scoop of water in the pot.

During the meal, a few children dragged their noses on the table, a few eggs were boiled in the end, the plate was just served, a few black little hands rushed up, the eggs and the nest head were instantly snatched up, there was only a pot of salty pickles left on the table, Ji Yu barely drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and put the chopsticks aside.

After eating, Widow Xie took Ji Yu to Uncle Xie's house who delivered the horse feed and explained the reason. Uncle Xie is a warm-hearted person and promised to help with this.

Ma also had to discuss things with Widow Xie, I don't know when to talk about it, Ji Yu was idle, so Widow Xie simply asked her to help her go.

This is naturally in Ji Yu's arms.

The car that delivered the horse material turned out to be not only Uncle Xie's family, but also other nearby villages, only to find that there was a long slip behind the mountain road, all piled high, led by Uncle Xie.

couldn't sit in the car, so Uncle Xie asked Ji Yu to sit on the other side of the bar, accompanied by the sound of whipping and shouting all the way, and it didn't take long to take a small path to bypass the mountain, and the military camp was close in front of him.

Although Uncle Xie agreed to let Ji Yu come with him, he didn't dare to take Ji Yu in, after all, the military camp was explicitly forbidden for women to enter and leave.

He asked Ji Yu to wait on the hillside in the distance, and after unloading the forage, he went to the soldiers he knew well to inquire about it to see if there was any news of the sixth grandmother and grandson.

Ji Yu had no choice but to wander around outside, her purpose was not only to find people and send letters, but how could she get on the line with the military doctor inside......

I wandered around and walked to a small hill, and there was a faint sound of talking from inside.

Ji Yu was stunned for a moment and tiptoed closer.

The probe looked down and saw a young man in his twenties lying in the sunny place in the recess, who was pillowing his arms and crossing Erlang's legs, and chewing grass in his mouth couldn't stop his scolding voice.

I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, it turned out that I was complaining.

"What's so great about coming from Beijing, I know how to take Qiao as a possibility, why drive Lao Tzu out!"

"Grandpa Lao Tzu and Grandpa are both military doctors, what is this called? It's called family history! Dare to say that Lao Tzu does not enter the stream......"

"Humph! Don't give Lao Tzu a chance! Wait for Lao Tzu to turn over and drive you all to the mountains to dig medicine! ”

It turned out to be an ostracized little military doctor.

It's really sleepy to meet the pillow.

Ji Yu knew that there was an opportunity, so she squatted on the col and threw a stone down.

"Who!" The man who was lazy just now jumped up instantly, "Who smashed Lao Tzu?" Get out of here, see if Lao Tzu doesn't ......"

He turned around for half a circle, only to find that Ji Yu, who was squatting above, saw that it was a little girl with a curtain of hair, and he was immediately angry.

"Go, go, go! Hurry home! The barracks are heavy, and women don't know if they don't enter! It's not even a woman! ”

Ji Yu followed his example, and pulled a grass in her mouth.

"Then what if this woman can help you climb to the top of those old military doctors, and even rise to the top?"

"Hah! Just you? He seemed to have heard the funniest joke in his life, and almost died of laughter, "It's up to you to ......"

A quarter of an hour later, the two were squatting side by side on the col.

"Hey!" He poked Ji Yu in the shoulder, "I don't care if you eavesdrop on my heart, why are you still angry, women are just stingy!" ”

Ji Yu rolled his eyes and was speechless at this person.

He had just turned on the taunt mode below, and his mouth was like a machine gun for a long time, but he still listened to her read the names of a few medicines on the recipe before stopping.

Ji Yu knew for the first time that a man could be so gossip and so mean.

Forget it, it's important to talk about business.

The two reluctantly put aside their previous suspicions, introduced themselves, and negotiations officially began.

Ji Yu first started from personal interests - with this prescription to make meritorious contributions, it is not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune, let alone suffer from the idleness and humiliation of those old military doctors.

And then to the interests of the family and the country - now the weather is cold, the soldiers' hands are cracked and festering when they march and fight, and they can't even hold a gun, let alone a knife and a spear.

Finally, there is economic practicability - the medicinal materials needed are very cheap, and the slightly more expensive ones are red ginseng powder and salvia powder, but it is not impossible to find other medicinal materials to replace them.

If you take out a small bottle of finished product at this time for him to try, this sales pitch will be even more perfect.

But even if she didn't, she could see that this little military doctor named Zhen Jili was already tempted.

Zhenji has the unique slippery nature of the little people in the market, and he still wants to get away with it.

He rolled his eyes a few times, and then said, "What kind of hand cream do you have, it's not difficult to get, I can also develop it." Unbelief? ”

He followed the few flavors of medicinal materials that Ji Yu had just recited, and according to the speculation of the medicinal properties, he reported another few flavors.

Then he looked at her with a smug face: "How is it, is it right?"
