Chapter 19: Yun's Shop
Ji Xiang went to Jishitang first, but the shopkeeper Meng was not there, and the doctor who sat in the hall last time still remembered her.
"Little girl, you're here." The doctor sitting in the hall is surnamed Sun, has a goatee, and likes to smile when he speaks.
The others are relatively thin, and the clean old clothes are empty and floating, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.
Doctor Sun saw Ji Xiang retreating vigilantly, afraid that people would run away like this, so he hurriedly continued: "Little girl, you are waiting here, our shopkeeper will be back soon." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked behind Ji Xiang.
"You didn't bring this Mi Lisu?" After that thing saved the little master's life last time, Dr. Sun remembered it. He wanted to see what herbs had been added to snatch people back from the hands of King Hades.
With it, Ji Xiang put all the thirty-five Mai Lisu in a slightly larger box. It's a red envelope lottery thing, and the weather is cool, so it can't be broken.
Talking about whether there was a match with Dr. Sun, the shopkeeper Meng came in from outside.
There was also a teenager beside him, and the pink carving was very cute. But the young man didn't like to laugh, and his eyebrows and eyes showed a fierce spirit, as if he was competing with anyone.
"Mrs. Chen?" Shopkeeper Meng was wearing a dark green auspicious cloud wide robe made of silk, and the jade fold on his waist shone brightly, blinding Ji Xiang's eyes.
Squinted helplessly, the young man beside the shopkeeper Meng glanced over, his nostrils were extremely high, and he snorted heavily.
"Dong'er, don't be unreasonable."
It turned out that this was the little young master, Ji Xiang compared his memory, and then connected the little little man with a purple and black face with the beautiful young man who had just grown up in front of him.
Ji Xiang said that this is not in the way, bear child, it's not that he hasn't seen it. She suddenly remembered Ji Ming, who had been stripped of her pants by the Lin family, as if she hadn't seen this cheap brother for a long time.
"Shopkeeper Meng, I'm here to consign Mai Lisu." Ji Xiang took down the back basket, and under the coarse cloth was an elegant carved box. The red envelope is changed to random, and the costless commodity of Mai Lisu will not be available in the future.
Ji Xiang explained a few words when he handed it to Shopkeeper Meng, "This is the last elixir left by my master, and his old man has wandered around without leaving a formula." So in terms of price, the shopkeeper Meng will set it. ”
There is no price in the market, and Mai Lisu can't do such a sensational effect for the time being.
Watching Shopkeeper Meng carefully inspect Mai Lisu, Ji Xiang remembered the serious things he had to do.
Buy spices.
The shopkeeper Meng is from the county, so he naturally knows some reliable shops. There were some spices that Jishitang didn't have, so he recommended Ji Xiang to buy them at Yun's shop.
It is the most complete sundries shop in Nanxiang County, not only with exotic spices, but also with a lot of new things.
"Mrs. Chen, if you sell me all this Mai Lisu, I will pay a hundred taels." Shopkeeper Meng said suddenly when Ji Xiang was about to leave.
One hundred taels, that's a lot of money.
You must know that after building three big houses at home, it took nearly fifty taels.
"Shopkeeper Meng, if it was because of repaying the favor, you would have paid it off when you gave me those three silver tickets." Ji Xiang likes money, but she is not greedy. She knew that Shopkeeper Meng wanted to help her, so she offered to buy Mai Lisu.
Especially when he saw the little young master's nostrils facing the sky and his eyes were angry, the self-esteem in Ji Xiang's heart faintly turned his head.
Shopkeeper Meng shook his head, he bought this for Dong'er.
"Mrs. Chen, I bought this for emergency. The nephew is naughty and disobedient, and often goes to the deep mountains and old forests to catch snakes and hunt. You saw it last time, if it weren't for Mai Lisu, I'm afraid my life would be gone. ”
Meng Huaidong also understood now that the thin woman in front of him was his savior.
"Uncle!" He frowned, trying to separate the woman's gaze. Uncle is also an old fool, how can he arrange his own nephew in front of others.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Meng Huaidong glared at Ji Xiang.
At the age of twelve or thirteen, he has removed two hair bags, and his red lips and white teeth are enviable.
Shopkeeper Meng doesn't care what his nephew wants to say, it's all this kid, he doesn't like to sit in the hall to study medicine, but he is interested in those poisons. tricked the old lady into going up the mountain to play, but in fact, she went to find poisonous weeds, saying that she wanted to refine poison.
This is the only son of the Meng family, his eldest brother went early, and his sister-in-law was also martyred. I swore not to marry to take care of this bastard boy, and now it's okay, the person almost died.
If he hadn't had the little magic stick in front of him, oh, no, Mrs. Chen, he would have been beaten to death by the old lady with a cane.
If you want to ask him what Meng Haozhou lacks, it is estimated that it will be fate.
As long as you can save Dong'er's life, let alone a hundred taels, half of the family property can be given away.
Ji Xiang probably also understood the painstaking efforts of the shopkeeper Meng, and then used the divine medical system to look at the annoyed and angry little young master, which was quite healthy.
After Ji Xiang agreed, Shopkeeper Meng asked people to take silver tickets and broken silver. Fifty taels of Tongzhou money cabinet silver tickets, as well as forty taels of silver ingots and one tael of broken silver.
Touching the money, Ji Xiang's heart gradually put down.
The days are getting better little by little.
She was going to Yun's shop, which happened to be at the end of West Street. After walking for a quarter of an hour, I saw the tall building.
Compared with the common two-storey or bungalow, this Yun's shop is much larger and taller.
Standing in the doorway were two little boys, dressed in uniform dark robes. He laughs very pleasantly and speaks sweetly and crisply.
After entering, a woman with her hair in a bun walked up to Ji Xiang gracefully.
"Heck, what do guests need? Silk and satin, snacks and toys or household items. ”
Melon seed face, under the willow leaf eyebrows is a pair of shrewd eyes. The fine white skin is a little red, and the posture is charming and enthusiastic, but it is not flattering.
Uh-huh?
If Ji Xiang hadn't seen it, it wouldn't have mattered, but this posture was clearly a shopping guide, and Yun's shop was more like a square like a certain silver.
Suspicious, she looked at the layout of the store, which was not much different from the usual shops.
There were also a lot of people shopping, and a few of them glanced over and looked at Ji Xiang's clothes with disdain.
"Guest, have you thought about it?"
The charming voice pulled Ji Xiang's thoughts back, the person in front of him was quite patient, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also very sincere.
"I want to buy some spices?"
After Ji Xiang finished speaking, he reported the names of several spices, and the woman was stunned, and when she saw the guests looking at her suspiciously, she hurriedly sorted out her emotions.
"The guest just calls me Mei Niang, we have the spices you said, but ...... "Usually the spices are not expensive, but the price of a few things reported by this little guest is much more expensive than some silks." Second, this little girl, can you afford to buy it?
Mei Niang is not disdainful, she also needs to make this clear, so as not to weigh it well, but the guest regrets it.
After listening to what Mei Niang said, Ji Xiang just nodded indifferently. She still needs it, and Mei Niang will send someone to weigh her.
Ji Xiang also needed some seeds, as well as spices. Mei Niang led people to the second floor, and the dazzling array of goods almost made the macho man cry.
Mung beans, soybeans, red beans, barley, and glutinous rice, Ji Xiang picked and bought a lot of red dates and rice by the way.
She bought all the vegetables that she could buy in this season, and she could plant space when the time came.
When looking at the goods, Ji Xiang was also surprised to find raisins and raw chestnuts. It's just that the asking price of these two items is higher, and she bought a few catties each.
I bought a lot of sugar and aged vinegar, and asked, there is still bean paste here. This was beyond Ji Xiang's expectations, with bean paste, many dishes have been settled. It's a lack of soy sauce, so if you know how to do it, you can try to make it yourself.
"Twenty taels in total."
"Okay, thank you." Ji Xiang took the spice painfully, just like that, it actually cost her ten taels. If you knew it, you wouldn't buy this, and if you change it to a separate food, the braised pork should be good.
When Mei Niang handed the folded packets of spices to Ji Xiang, the back basket was already full of things and was carrying them on her back. She was suddenly frightened, the guest was very small, and thin, and at this time, he could easily talk to her with such a heavy load of goods.
"Guest, if you need us to send you back, it only costs a tael of silver."
Ji Xiang shook her head, she had all her strength, and it was no problem to carry it like this. But if she is allowed to spend another one or two, her heart will probably bleed painfully.
After saying goodbye to Mei Niang, she first went to a small alley where no one was around. Put a few vegetable seeds bought in the back basket into the space, and take out the water bladder to add some spiritual spring to yourself.
The sweet spiritual spring is cool in the throat, but it is a little warm in the stomach. After drinking and resting for a while, Ji Xiang was ready to go back to the streets of West Street to wait for Chen Jiean.
When he got out of the corner of the alley, Ji Xiang almost tripped over a beggar. The man was fine, but the contents of the basket shook and fell out.
She patted her chest, picked up something on the ground, and looked at the beggar leaning against the corner.
Dirty hair is as yellow as straw. On such a cold day, he only had a tattered single coat and broken shoes.
There were a few copper plates in the rotten bowl, Ji Xiang thought about it, took out a grain of broken silver from his purse, and left directly after dropping it.
She doesn't like beggars, and it's better to sell her strength with her hands and feet than to beg with her dignity.
But she couldn't ignore a single life.
The beggar opened his eyes violently, and the pair of sharp phoenix eyes stared at the straight back with great satisfaction.
"Childe, you're finally not blind."
The beggar stood up, patted himself on the back, picked up the money from the bowl and weighed it for a pot of wine.
………… Dividing line ............
The first thing Chen Jie'an did after seeing Ji Xiang was to take off the back basket.
He didn't blame Ji Xiang for spending money indiscriminately, but he was a little distressed, such a heavy back basket should have pressed the little daughter-in-law's shoulders into red marks. When you go back, you have to rub it with medicine and wine, so as not to bruise the blood.
After the matter is done, it is not yet noon, and it will take a while to go back to the village and take the car.
Chen Xie An pulled Ji Xiang to stop in front of a jewelry shop, and the things on it were complicated and colorful, and some were simple and atmospheric.
And he took a fancy to a colorful butterfly hairpin.
The workmanship is slightly rough, but fortunately, the style is novel. The colorful butterflies with wings are stunned by their tentacles, colorful gems are inlaid in them, and the glass beads used for tassels hang between the sideburns, which are delicate and lovely.
"Childe has a good eye, this is fashionable in Kyoto. Ladies can try to wear it, absolutely flattering you. The boss blew how good this hairpin was, but Ji Xiang refused.
The workmanship is rough, and the butterfly polishing is not surprising, and the gemstones are simply inferior. The tassels are also strung somehow, crooked.
"Xianggong, I don't want it."
Ji Xiang hurriedly pulled Chen Jie'an, for fear that he would not think of it and pay for it directly. It's not right, the ten taels from selling the prey are still in her hands.
Thinking about it like this, I was relieved. Hengzhi Chen Xie An can't afford this money, and for her, it is better to buy two meat buns for hairpins.
"Don't go, this butterfly hairpin can be cheaper for you, two taels, just two taels, you see, your lady's head is plain, not in vain for a good look."
The boss saw that people were leaving, and hurriedly shouted to stop.
Ji Xiang touched her head, she didn't seem to have any jewelry, except for a bracelet given by her mother.
Chen Xie An's eyebrows were lowered, he didn't lack those jewelry, he passed by here this time, just to see that this hairpin was very similar to Xiang'er.
The colorful butterflies spread their wings and flew all day long, warming his heart a lot.
Looking at her plain bun again, she really needs a hairpin.
"Okay."
Ji Xiang was about to pull Chen Xie An's away, but his divine golden finger couldn't pull the thin man in front of him. Seeing that he took out two taels of broken silver and gave it to the boss, then turned his head and looked at her gently, Si Swenwen's appearance made Ji Xiang's anger disappear completely.
The hairpin was pinned to her bun, and Chen Xie Saddle said, "I'll change it to a good one in the future." I have wronged my family Xiang'er. ”
Ji Xiang was not hypocritical, and did not ask Chen Xie an again what was going on with his private money. They went to the stall to buy seven meat buns, and Ji Xiang bit the skins of the buns soaked in oil, and his eyes narrowed.
It was so delicious that the big bag of fresh meat almost made her swallow her tongue.
After eating one, Ji Xiang was full. She is also ready to explain to Chen Jie'an, so that the money in her hand can go in a clear way.
