The shop people came over one after another, and everyone surrounded the star fruit and Lang Zhong in the center, waiting to watch the play with high spirits.

Carambola is embarrassed: With such a big shop, is there nothing to do? Isn't Qiao Ping the most demanding and the most disdainful of people being lazy and slippery? Why don't you come and take care of it?

Seeing that the star fruit did not move and did not beg for mercy, Zhao Lang Lieutenant stretched out his arm in front of the star fruit, and was very aggressive: "Isn't it showing that you have the ability?" Didn't you read two more idle books? If you have the ability, you can take my pulse and see what disease the old man has! ”

He was so angry that he even claimed to be confused, and it seemed that he really couldn't stand that women had the ability.

Carambola leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master, men and women don't kiss, this pulse ......"

The little old man quickly lowered his sleeves as if he had been pricked by a needle, and looked at the star fruit with a blowing beard, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Carambola shrugged her shoulders and snickered, and occasionally peeked at Zhao Langzhong with her eyes, admiring his blushing neck and unable to vent.

"Good star fruit, you ......"

"She's not just going to endorse it." Qiao Kangcheng pushed away the crowd and patted Zhao Langzhong on the shoulder with a smile and said: "The insider specially told me that star fruit is a rare genius, who is familiar with medicinal books at a young age, and can piece together the whole plant of similar medicinal materials from the debris. ”

Qiao Ping came over with a dustpan, which was full of herbs broken into the size of a fingernail: "My mother is probably exaggerating, how can such a broken medicine be spelled out?" ”

He handed the dustpan to the star fruit, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you try to fight it, if you really fight it, I will allow you to go and pound the pharmacy pills." ”

Star fruit's eyes lit up instantly: You obviously want to give me a good errand, Qiao Ping, you are simply too good!

She took the dustpan and was about to start, Qiao Ping leaned over to look at her with both hands on the table, and said word by word: "If it is proved that my mother lied for you, then you will go back for me." I'm a pharmacy here, and I don't raise waste! ”

Carambola flew at him: disdain if there is substance, it hits Qiao Ping's heart.

He straightened up and snorted in displeasure.

Star fruit excitedly identified the medicine, in her opinion, the dustpan was not broken medicine, but a glowing prescription, the secret recipe for making various pills.

Many of the pills in Qiao's pharmacy are directly supplied to the county pharmacy, and the efficacy of the pills can be seen.

The star fruit was busy watching, smelling and tasting here, and the onlookers also held their arms and looked at it without blinking. Especially the boy who was compared to the star fruit before, staring at the star fruit without blinking, to prevent her from cheating and deceiving people.

Seeing that the star fruit spelled together a piece of codonopsis, the boy's eyes were straight.

He came to Master Zhao Langzhong's side and whispered to him to bite his ear: "This star fruit is really capable, why don't you take her as an apprentice as Master?" ”

Zhao Lang looked intently at the star fruit and did not answer the boy's words.

The boy glanced at the field again, the serious star fruit is very beautiful, but if it threatens his position, it will be hateful.

"Master, do you think that little girl is feminine, could it be a woman dressed as a man? This world still has to be yin and yang orderly, if not......"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Langzhong turned his head and glared at him fiercely: "You are powerful when you drive away people?" If you have the ability to fight her in the ring, you can spell out everything she doesn't recognize. ”

Just finished scolding, the star fruit had already raised its head from the dustpan, looked at Qiao Ping with a glorious face, and said: "Everything that can be spelled out has been spelled out, and the rest can't spell out the whole plant, but it is also classified, you come to check to see if there is anything wrong?" ”

When he said the last sentence, the star fruit raised the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows, a flamboyant provocation.

On medicine, Zhao Langzhong is naturally more authoritative. He carefully checked it three times in the past, and finally nodded helplessly at Qiao Ping.

As a result, Qiao Kangcheng's face darkened by three points.

Carambola doesn't care what others think, she has to have her booty anyway. Therefore, she raised her voice and asked Qiao Ping with a smile: "Brother Qiao, when will I report to the pharmacy?" ”

She is charming when she is focused and serious, and her radiant appearance is also very eye-catching.

Qiao Ping, who was accustomed to pretending to be deep with a flat face, frowned, he watched the star fruit put together the complete medicinal herbs, and said in a low voice: "Let's go over tomorrow." ”

When he turned to leave, he accidentally saw all kinds of rare medicinal herbs painted on the ground, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at star fruit again.

She was lowering her head to tidy up the dustpan, and although her whole body was full of joy, she couldn't find arrogance.

No wonder the second brother likes her!

Qiao Ping left with his hands behind his back, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his lips.

The price of cabbage fell again and again, and after seven days, it had developed into an iron money that could buy a strike. The Ye family was so anxious at home that Yang Cui was also foaming at home, and she couldn't fall down.

Carambola went to find the second uncle again, and this time the second uncle couldn't sit still, and circled back and forth in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back.

"The dealer who said that he would come to collect vegetables pushed again and again, but when I asked again yesterday, he directly lowered the price, saying that he would collect three copper plates per acre of land. But how can three copper plates work, this season's harvest is only worth twenty-seven white-flour steamed buns? ”

Star fruit pulled her hair and worried: "But if it drags on any longer, the cabbage will bloom." At that time, a multigrain steamed bun is not worth it. ”

The second uncle stopped and looked at her, and said tentatively: "Otherwise, discuss it with your father and mother, and deal with it cheaper?" ”

Carambola sighed: "I'll talk to my father and mother first in the evening, and I'll come to talk back to my uncle tomorrow." ”

When he was about to leave, the second uncle stuffed a tael of silver in the carambola in his hand, and sighed: "Uncle doesn't have much ability, you can take this money first, don't let your aunt know." ”

Carambola looked up at her uncle, and there was a faint flash of light in her eyes: "When the difficulty is over, I will return you as soon as possible." ”

"Go ahead!" The second uncle patted the star fruit on the shoulder, trying to persuade her to let Chunxiao come back from the private school, but he bit his lip and still didn't say anything.

The three rooms are all old bulls, what's the use of saying? Isn't it iron-hearted to provide Chunxiao with an iron heart, how could he send him to a private school as soon as he got the money?

Oh, what iniquity!

Speaking of Chunxiao, he was also worried about it at this time.

"It's cabbage all day long, cabbage doesn't cost money?" He poked the boiled cabbage in the earthen porcelain bowl with chopsticks, and looked up at Qiao An pitifully: "Second brother, let's go to the back mountain to dig out sparrows." After eating cabbage for half a month, my face is almost green. ”

Qiao An swallowed the tasteless dish in her mouth, looked at the pile of cabbage piled up in the corner of the canteen, and asked, "I heard that your family grows three acres of cabbage?" Have they all been sold? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chunxiao didn't have the heart to eat. He picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in front of him, and said dejectedly: "I'm afraid I can't sell it." ”

"Second brother, why don't you help me go and talk to Second Uncle Qiao and ask him to refund me the tuition and miscellaneous fees, or can I stay in the private school and do chores? Anyway, I'm still in a private school, and I'm studying while doing chores, so it's the same! ”

"Same? Who didn't shake their heads when you read the articles you did when you were doing chores? Now, my second uncle can get the class as a model to read! ”

Yang Chunxiao hung his head and didn't speak, he also wanted to study hard, but the cabbage couldn't be sold, and the family was afraid that it would be difficult to eat.

"Read your book well, it's really that far, your father and mother will come to you. Until then, don't be cranky. ”

Joan persuaded him a few more words, and then took his rice bowl to the sink to wash.

In the evening, he suddenly found Yang Chunxiao: "I took over a job of copying Buddhist scriptures, you can come and copy them together if you have nothing to do." ”

Yang Chunxiao was so happy that she jumped three feet high, and hurriedly chased after her shoes before they were put on: "I also take the job, I can do any job, and I can help the female ring and female training that the boudoir lady was punished for." ”

Qiao An smiled helplessly, rolled the book and knocked on the door of his head: "Don't lose money, you can't delay your studies if you take on any work." ”

After that, the two copied books until late at night every day, and slapped their faces with cold water in the morning when they were not energetic.

The star fruit dragged on for another two days, and finally decided to grit his teeth and sell cabbage: "Three copper plates are also money, if they really rot in the ground, it is really not worth a single iron money." ”

She walked on the way home, racking her brains to think about how to talk to her mother, thinking about how to say it, in order to reduce the impact on her mother.

was worried when he was suddenly dragged to the side of the wheat field.

The star fruit was shocked and screamed at the top of her throat. The other party hurriedly shouted: "Don't shout, it's me." ”

Joan's voice.

Looking back, it's really Joan.

Carambola glanced at him angrily: "I'm scared to death, what are you pulling me for?" let others see it, and they don't know what to say. I'm struggling right now, and I can't stand the rumors. ”

"It's just that you're afraid that people will see you." He took out a bottle of pickles from his arms and handed it to her: "This is a pickle brought by a classmate from the provincial capital, and it is said to be a famous product of Tongfutang." You take it back and try it, I don't think it's as delicious as your pickled vegetables. ”

"Really?"

Star fruit opened the porcelain bottle and twisted a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth, and it really tasted worse than what A-Niang made.

Her eyes lit up again, and she asked Qiao An with a raised face: "There are a lot of cabbages on three acres of land, what should I do if I can't sell them if I make so many pickles?" "I don't talk about hard work, but I also spend salt, tanks, and autumn oil.

"Even if it can't be sold for a while, at least it won't be bad. Pickles are no longer worth much, and they will not buy seven pieces for an iron penny. ”

Carambola suddenly brightened up and nodded vigorously: "That's the reason." ”

Looking up and seeing Qiao An's eyes black and blue, she couldn't help but say, "It's been a lot of schoolwork lately, no matter how heavy it is, you should pay attention to your body." Also, don't worry about me. Everyone has his own fate, and we ......"

"I've got to go back first." Qiao An didn't want to listen to her words, forced a smile, turned around and left: "My mother doesn't allow me to go back to the village, so that she has to kneel in the ancestral hall when she sees me." ”

Star fruit watched him go farther and farther, and her heart was a little uncomfortable.

She turned to leave, and suddenly crouched down to look at Joan's footprints. looked at it, and poked his fingers at the footprints and scolded: "You are a fool, a big fool, a disobedient fool who doesn't listen to your mother's words." ”

She picked out the footprints with her hands, but found a new one, and carefully measured the size with her fingers.

When I got home, the star fruit took out the pickles for Ye and the eldest sister to taste, and then said seriously: "Let's make pickles too!" Mother and Sister A's craftsmanship is good, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price. ”

The whole family looked at the star fruit like a madman, and Ye was the first to refute, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was an intractable problem: "Don't talk about whether the pickles can be sold after they are done, just talk about the input." Pickled cabbage on three acres of land is less than 90 catties of coarse salt, 40 catties of autumn oil, and more than 10 catties of pepper, anise, and spicy seeds...... How much silver do you get to buy these materials? ”

Yang Cui also sighed: "Don't embarrass our mother!" Not to mention buying these things, Chunxiao will have difficulty in paying for food next month. ”
