Chapter 33: A good start
There are mostly men on the street, and there are few delicately dressed women, who want to stay in the inner courtyard and don't need to go to the street, some are peasant women in twos and threes, such as the peasant women who bought steamed buns in front of Qiao Ruyi's burden just now, these peasant women live in the surrounding villages around here, and come to the town to buy things back.
Qiao Ruyi looked at it like this, and when she looked up, she unconsciously walked to Airentang, and Qiao Ruyi stepped in.
Ruyi girl, you're here.
Dr. Chen was sitting behind the counter, and when he saw Qiao Ru's opinion, he hurriedly shouted.
Dr. Chen, is there anything good?
Although Dr. Chen is older than Qiao Ruyi's father, he has a good personality, and Qiao Ruyi has done these few times with him, so he is familiar with a lot of things, and he is much more casual when he talks.
But no, it's a good thing, it's the herbs you brought me yesterday, it's the piedmont grass, native ginseng, I took medicine for the patient, and the effect is very good, when will you bring it to me again, how much I want
Qiao Ruyi heard that this was indeed a good thing, and estimated that the two herbs on the back mountain could probably be dug up to two hundred, but now at this time, it is impossible to grow any longer, besides, if you don't dig it down, you may die.
Qiao Ruyi thought of this, and said:
Dr. Chen, you also know that in this season, even the wild grass in the wild is about to wither, and the herbs are only the last crop of this year.
I know these things better than you, I know these things even if you don't say it, don't worry, you will send me all the herbs, I can keep them.
Dr. Chen said again and again.
In that case, that's great.
Qiao Ruyi thought about so many herbs at first, if she couldn't take them in time, she would lose the effect of the medicine, but now she heard that Dr. Chen had a way to preserve them, so she agreed with a smile.
Qiao Ruyi thought that she needed to find the wrapping paper for the steamed buns just now, so she said to Dr. Chen again:
Dr. Chen, do you have any paper here that can be used as a steamed bun?
Qiao Ruyi wants to wrap paper, naturally he needs to buy it, if Dr. Chen has it here, then take it here with Dr. Chen, after all, he has done so much business with Dr. Chen, and he wants to do it with Dr. Chen if he has such a business.
As soon as Qiao Ruyi finished speaking, Dr. Chen said:
If you look elsewhere, you might as well come to me, but you've found a place.
As he spoke, Dr. Chen took out a large stack of papyrus paper from under the counter.
Others have never used this kind of paper to wrap medicine with me, and if you say that you make steamed buns, it is even more appropriate.
Qiao Ruyi saw the straw paper in Dr. Chen's hand and said:
It's really not a good fit.
Qiao Ruyi said and took the straw paper, folded it twice with his hand, and put two steamed buns in the right size. Qiao Ruyi said with a smile:
Doctor Chen, I want this, how much is it?
Ruyi girl, look at what you said, what kind of money does this want, don't want money
Dr. Chen waved his hand and kept shaking his head.
Qiao Ruyi listened and replied:
Dr. Chen, what are you doing here, if you don't want money, I don't want it.
Qiao Ruyi pretended to push the straw paper back to Dr. Chen, but Dr. Chen naturally refused to accept it, so he said:
Ruyi girl, you take it, you can look at how much money you give.
This-
Qiao Ruyi had never bought straw paper, so there was really no way to decide how much to give.
Doctor Chen looked at Qiao Ruyi's appearance and said:
Oh, it's not hard for you, I bought this straw paper from the largest straw paper shop in our town, almost a hundred pieces per catty, a total of five wen, you can give it to me at this price.
Qiao Ruyi listened and said,
Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome, and I'll take a pound from Dr. Chen and use it.
Qiao Ruyi said, took out five cents from his arms and gave it to Dr. Chen, and Dr. Chen also took a pound of straw paper and gave it to Qiao Ruyi.
Qiao Ruyi knew that Dr. Chen was not willing to ask for more of his own silver on the straw paper, as long as the purchase price was paid, since this was the case, it was better to go to the straw paper shop to buy it himself.
After Qiao Ruyi said goodbye to Dr. Chen, he returned to his original place, and saw Qiao Laixing and Qiao Ruxin talking to the guests from a distance.
Sister, you're back.
Qiao Ruxin saw Qiao Ruyi first, then beckoned, and asked:
Sister, what are you holding in your hand?
Qiao Ruyi waved the straw paper in his hand to Qiao Ruxin and said:
This is what I just bought from Dr. Chen, and I use it to wrap steamed buns.
Qiao Ruyi said, just as the people next to the stall wanted to buy steamed buns, Qiao Ruyi wrapped her in this straw paper and handed it over.
The man saw it, nodded incessantly, and said:
Yes, it's weird, even this wrapper is so thoughtful, the steamed bun must be made with heart, the taste should be good, after I have eaten, if it feels good, I will buy it.
Qiao Ruyi listened to it and said with a smile:
That's really good, I come here often when I'm good at eating-
Qiao Ruyi said, smiling and sending people away.
The living standards of the people in Shuiwan Town are obviously much better than those in Qiaojiazhuang, and it can be seen from the dressing up that if it is in Qiaojiazhuang, although every household has surplus food, but if you spend money to buy something, you have to think about it more, generally speaking, they are self-sufficient, and most of the food and clothing are made by themselves. After all, in the eyes of these people, spending money on things is too wasteful. And in this town, buying and selling will be much more frequent, selling more, buying more.
Qiao Ruyi watched the steamed buns brought in the burden slowly decrease, and she was indescribably happy in her heart, which can be regarded as a good start.
Let's see how much money we have?
Qiao Ruyi took advantage of the fact that there was no one now, so he took out all the money he received, counted a total of sixty Wen, and looked at the heavy copper coins in his hand, his face was satisfied.
Qiao Nina saw it and was also happy:
Sister, so much money.
yes, that's a lot of money.
Qiao Ruyi repeated, put the money in his pocket again, and said:
Although we don't have much money, we must also put it away, so as not to turn around and lose it, and we will be busy in vain.
Well.
Qiao Ruxin nodded vigorously.
Qiao Ruyi put the money away, then touched Qiao Ruxin's head again, saw that there were still a few steamed buns left in the burden, and said to Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin said:
Well, let's sell it for a while. When it's sold out, we'll go home.
Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin listened, and they all happily agreed.
Sister, do you see if it's Sister Sai'er over there-
Qiao Ruxin pointed not far ahead, and said to Qiao Ruyi.
