Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold

"Mother! What happened to you? Li Mumu suddenly spoke up, startling Wang Chuntao.

She hurriedly wiped a handful of tears: "Mu Mu is back!" My mother has finished the meal, and I will bring it out for you. ”

Li Mumu stopped Wang Chuntao's movements: "Mother! What's going on? Why are you crying? Is it Li Shuncai who came back to find you trouble? ”

Li Mumu asked, and Wang Chuntao no longer hid it, it turned out that Li Shuncai sneaked home today while Li Mumu was not there. He took away all the money in the house. Looks like I'm not going to go home lately.

"Only the silver? Leave him alone. I have picked a lot of herbs, and tomorrow I will go to the market to exchange some silver. ”

Li Mumu doesn't look at Li Shuncai at all now.

……

After sorting out the herbs last night, Li Mumu got up early in the morning today and rushed to the county seat.

There are vendors in the bazaars who specialize in collecting medicinal herbs, but they often keep the prices very low. Although the medicinal herbs picked by Li Mumu are not precious varieties, the quality is very good, she did not go to the market, but walked directly into a medical hall.

The little boy in the medical hall saw that Li Mumu was dressed as a peasant girl, and he didn't plan to greet her. But she insisted on seeing the steward of the infirmary. The boy had no choice but to invite the steward out.

"What is the girl looking for me?" The person who came was about thirty years old and looked very calm, even if Li Mumu was an ordinary peasant girl, he didn't show contempt.

"I don't know what to call you?" The other party's attitude made Li Mumu very satisfied, the other party did not look down on him, so he had a chance to talk about what he wanted to talk about.

"The girl can call me Steward Sun."

"Hello Steward Sun, I am a villager from Huafeng Village, I have a batch of herbs in my hand, the quality is very good, I want to ask if you need to accept it?" Li Mumu asked directly to the point.

Steward Sun found that Li Mumu's conversation was different from that of other peasant girls, and he was very brainy, and knew that he would send the herbs directly to the hospital to sell, so he didn't go to see the herbs brought by Li Mumu, but signaled the child to accept them directly according to the market price.

"No need, Steward Sun! If you don't need it, I'll take a look at another place. Sorry for the trouble. Li Mumu knew that the other party was looking at herself, but this was not the result Li Mumu wanted, she thanked Steward Sun and picked up her back basket and prepared to leave.

"Wait, take out your herbs and I'll take a look." Steward Sun opened his mouth to keep Li Mumu, he felt that this girl was a little interesting.

Li Mumu stopped, glanced at Steward Sun, and made sure that the other party was serious, so he took out the herbs in the basket one by one.

After Li Mumu's herbs were picked, he did some processing by himself, and wrapped each herb separately in paper, and now it can be used directly as long as it is dried, which protects the medicinal properties of these herbs to the greatest extent.

Other people's herbs were picked and thrown into the basket the next day, and the branches and leaves of many herbs were covered and could not be used, and the medicinal properties of other herbs were also affected when they were put together with these broken branches and leaves.

Steward Sun's eyes lit up when he saw these herbs, and he couldn't receive such pretreated herbs from the peddler: "Girl, I want all these herbs from you, and in the future, you can just send the herbs in your hand, and I will give them all to you according to the market price."

"It's no problem to send it over, but I'm going to pay a fifth of the market price." Li Mumu is very confident in his own things, since they are valuable, the price should be talked about carefully.

"One fifth is too much, at most a tenth of the market price." When Steward Sun heard Li Mumu bargaining with him, he smiled, he liked to deal with smart people.

"These herbs of mine are better than other people's herbs, you can sell them at a better price, and these herbs can be used directly after drying, and you can save a lot of things in terms of manpower and material resources. A fifth more I think is reasonable. ”

"Hahaha...... All right! One out of five is one in five, and I don't know what to call you, little girl. Steward Sun knew that even if these medicinal materials were collected at a price higher than one-fifth of the market price, there would be a lot of profit margin, so he readily agreed.

"My name is Li Mumu, and Steward Sun just calls me Mu Mu."

"Good! Mu Mu girl, don't send your herbs to other families in the future, as long as you guarantee the quality of these herbs, I will always accept them at this price. "In business, there are some things that Steward Sun still has to talk about.

"This is natural, you just have to rest assured."

When the matter was negotiated, Li Mumu was in a very good mood, took the silver handed over by Xiaotong, and she left. Li Mumu, who was carrying silver, suddenly had leisure and wanted to visit the ancient bazaar. Anyway, it was still early, and she walked to the market area with the memory of the original owner.

The ancient bazaar was really lively, and as soon as he approached Li Mumu, he heard the shouts of the vendors and the sound of the buyers bargaining.

A few steps into the bazaar, Li Mumu actually saw the little woodcutter who saved him yesterday, and he was there in stark contrast to the two stalls next to him. Everyone else was shouting desperately, but he didn't say a word next to his firewood. Occasionally, he answered the other party concisely.

Yesterday, the little woodcutter really saved himself, and Li Mumu wanted to formally thank him again, so he raised his legs and walked towards his stall.

As soon as he approached him, a man came who wanted to buy firewood.

"Chopper, how do you sell this pile of firewood?"

"Half a tael of silver." Xiao Jingyao replied expressionlessly.

"Half a tael of silver?! It's too expensive, your pile of firewood is worth a maximum of twenty-five copper plates! The firewood buyer screamed in surprise! It's not easy to see you, I'll give you thirty articles. ”

"......" Xiao Yan didn't say anything, just turned his head to the other side.

The person who bought the firewood should be an old customer, who understands Xiao Yan's temper and knows that this is disagreeing. "Forty wen, no more."

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Li Mumu watched it for a long time, Xiao Yan's pile of firewood, if it is sold well, it will only be a lot more than half a tael of silver. But Xiao Yan's eccentric personality is estimated to have suffered a lot before. Since you see it today, help him. Kwon should thank the other party for saving him yesterday.

"Wait! This pile of firewood is at least sixty wen, and it won't be sold for a penny! ”
