Sitting on the donkey cart, Chen Xiaoshu thought about things, even if she didn't pick hydrangeas today, she had to find a chance to go to town, she had to take the silver collar, otherwise she didn't have a copper plate in her hand, which really made people feel bottomless.

In addition to her and Chunniang, there were two middle-aged women on the ox cart, one was a little noble lady, and the other was the fifth grandmother of the Zhang family.

The two peeked at Chen Xiaoshu from time to time, and then whispered a few words, Chen Xiaoshu was speechless.

If you want to gossip about people, you can pretend to be natural, and look at people from time to time, what? Afraid that others won't find out?

Grandma Zhang Wu glanced at the back basket under Chen Xiaoshu's feet twice and said, "Xiaoshu, this is going to the town to sell mountain goods?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu showed a simple smile and said, "Yes, Fifth Grandma." ”

Grandma Zhang Wu and the little lady glanced at each other and said, "Quickly show us, what kind of rare mountain goods are there, I can tell you how to sell them, you have been deceived in the province." ”

Chun Niang pulled the back basket to her side and said: "Don't bother the fifth grandmother, this thing is not rare, I have also gone to the town with my mother to sell it before, and I know how to sell it." ”

Fifth Grandma Zhang was bored, her eyes rolled, and she deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Xiao Shu, you girl is stupid, you listen to Grandma Five, don't be stupid and give it to your sister-in-law if you sell it for money, you have to keep it yourself." ”

Chen Xiaoshu said with a disapproving expression when he heard this: "Fifth grandmother, what are you talking about, as the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, and I naturally have to give it to the eldest sister-in-law when I make money." ”

Chen Xiaoshu said and secretly glanced at the fifth grandmother, hum, don't think I don't know what your idea is.

persuading people to hide their private money, and in front of outsiders, this is not the case that it will reach the ears of the Huang family when he turns his head, if he is stupid enough to echo her now, he may not be tortured by the Huang family when he turns around.

However, what Grandma Zhang Wu said is not unreasonable, even if she doesn't say it, she will not give all the money to the Huang family.

Qingniu Town is not far from Sanhe Village, and it takes less than an hour to drive the ox cart.

Qingniu Town is a transportation artery connecting the north and south, and many merchants stop here every year, so it can be regarded as prosperous.

Hydrangea mushrooms are so cherished, so they naturally have to go to the big restaurant to sell, and there are only two famous restaurants in Qingniu Town, Tianxiang Building and Wanfu Building.

made an appointment with Uncle Dashan to go back, and Chun Niang took her to an alley with ease.

"This is the back door of Tianxiang Building." Chunniang explained.

Chen Xiaoshu nodded, and came to the restaurant to do business, naturally he couldn't enter from the main entrance, some of the ingredients were still with soil before they were processed, and the wild things were still bloody.

Chunniang knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?"

It was a fourteen or fifteen boy who came out to open the door, and when he saw two little girls standing outside the door, his face turned red with shame, and he said, "You are here to sell things, right?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded and said, "Yes, the annoying little brother will help us palm our eyes." ”

Chen Xiaoshu said and took away the leaves on the back basket, revealing the hydrangea inside, the little guy had obviously seen the world, although he was surprised, but he did not lose his temper, and said: "I bother you two to come in and wait for a while, I will go to find the shopkeeper." ”

Chen Xiaoshu and Chun Niang nodded and followed him into the backyard.

Tianxianglou is really worthy of being one of the big restaurants in the town, and at the moment the backyard is full of people coming and going, and it is extremely busy.

The shopkeeper strode over with a sweaty head, "There are hydrangea mushrooms, take them out and show them to me." ”

Chen Xiaoshu said to the shopkeeper's chin: "This is just picked by our sisters, I heard that Tianxianglou has always been fair in business, and the first thing our sisters came to the town was this Tianxianglou." ”

Although the shopkeeper knew that Chen Xiaoshu said this to sell for more money, he felt very comfortable with this sycophant.

Smiled at their hydrangea mushrooms, the shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Yes, it is indeed very fresh, generally we collect 600 wen and a tael, but your hydrangea mushrooms today are well preserved and fresh, how about giving you 700 wen and 1 tael?" ”

Chun Niang looked at Chen Xiaoshu with admiration, since the shopkeeper came, she didn't even dare to speak, thanks to Xiaoshu.

Chen Xiaoshu pondered for a moment, she didn't know the market price, but after thinking about the purchasing power of the silver money now, she also knew that this price was really not low, and took 10,000 steps back and said that this is also a hammer deal.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoshu nodded and said: "The shopkeeper is really sincere, just according to what the shopkeeper said." ”

Shopkeeper Xie asked someone to weigh it in front of him and said: "This girl's hydrangea mushroom weighs two taels, yours weighs two and a half, and the two girls want copper plates or silver." ”

"I want copper coins."

Chun Niang said that there are not many opportunities for Zhuang families to use silver on weekdays, but it is a copper plate, and it is convenient to meet a merchant who walks the streets and alleys to buy a needle and thread.

Shopkeeper Xie looked at Chen Xiaoshu, and Chen Xiaoshu smiled: "If you are tired of the shopkeeper, you will exchange one or two halves for silver, and give me the rest of the copper plate." ”

The silver is small in size and easy to hide,

After coming out of Tianxianglou, Chen Xiaoshu grabbed Chun Niang's hand and said, "Chun Niang, I want to ask you for something." ”

Chunniang said clearly: "Don't tell others how much money we made this time, Xiaoshu, don't worry, I won't say it." ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, if others ask, you will say that I earned more than 200 yuan." ”

"Okay." Chunniang nodded and said, "Actually, what the fifth grandmother said today is right, you used to be always stupid, you didn't know how to be lazy when you worked, and you didn't know how to steal food when cooking, but now I see that you know how to hide private money, and I am also relieved." ”

"Hey, hey." Chen Xiaoshu pretended to be stupid and smiled, "It's not like I've died once, don't you want to die again if you don't have a heart." ”

"That's right." Chunniang nodded, pointed to Buzhuang and said, "Xiaoshu, I heard that Buzhuang has a lot of new good-looking fabrics, let's go and take a look." ”

Chen Xiaoshu looked at the signboard of Buzhuang and said, "Chunniang, I have other things, I want to go to the hospital to have a look, or you can go to Buzhuang yourself first." ”

Chun Niang knew that she wanted to secretly go to get medicine for Chen Linxiao, so she nodded and said, "Then we will meet in the east of the town." ”

"Okay."

In fact, Chen Xiaoshu went to the hospital just under the guise of a pawnshop.

The pawnshop was under a big guise, and on this street, Chen Xiaoshu looked left and right, and saw no acquaintances, so he rushed into the pawnshop with a brisk stride.

"Are you going to be this girl?"

The shopkeeper who was dialing the abacus saw Chen Xiaoshu coming in and said with a smile.

"Exactly." Chen Xiaoshu nodded.

"Please come in with me."

He came out of the counter and made a gesture of please.

"Little Wu, pour this girl a cup of tea."

The shopkeeper commanded the servant.

The little guy named Xiao Wu glanced at Chen Xiaoshu, and saw that she was dressed poorly and sour, and there was nothing valuable on her body, so she was contemptuous, and poured a cup of tea and sent it to her.

Chen Xiaoshu's fingers touched the teacup, and he couldn't detect a trace of temperature, and he knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it out.

The truth of respecting Luo Shang first and then respecting people is the same in ancient and modern times.

Chen Xiaoshu took out the silver collar from the back basket, but it was actually in the space and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was also surprised when he saw it, looking at the dress of this little girl from the countryside, he thought that it was at most a plain silver hairpin, but he didn't expect to take out a silver collar with such exquisite workmanship.

The shopkeeper weighed his hands, and after a careful look at the workmanship, he couldn't help but sigh a little, this fish carving is lifelike, even if it is the big silver building in the county, there is no such good craftsmanship.

It's just that how can such a poor country girl have such a good thing.

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and said with a tentative expression: "I don't know where you got this thing, girl?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu also smiled: "Why does the shopkeeper suspect that this is dirty?" Since I dare to take it to the pawnshop in the daytime, it naturally shows that this thing is innocent. ”

Chen Xiaoshu deliberately bit the words "blue sky and white sun" very hard, reminding them not to do anything to rob them.

The shopkeeper naturally heard it and said with a smile: "How come? Are you going to live or die with this thing? ”

"How do you do it? How to be dead? ”

Chen Xiaoshu asked rhetorically.
