Chapter 51: Left behind
Yao Shi was also surprised when he looked at Gu Chengyu's smooth movements, is this really a farmer? From the time she came in until now, she has been observing this little baby, although she grew up in a peasant house, she behaves politely, and when she sees food, she does not gobble up like a peasant baby, and she will not cower or be timid. She can understand Xianggong's intention to do this now, even the more she looks at it now, the more she likes it.
Here, Gu Chengyu and the Yao family have their own thoughts, but over there, Gu's father and Li Langzhong have agreed to go to the county seat in two days. It turned out that Li Langzhong and the shopkeeper of the county's Huichun Hall were old acquaintances, and this ginseng could only be sold at a good price in the county, after all, there were many rich and noble families in the county.
"You go to the county seat to find the shopkeeper Liu of the Spring Hall, and report my name Li Yuanfeng, presumably the shopkeeper Liu will not treat you badly. I was sick that day, so I won't go with you. ”
"Then thank you, Brother Li. It's just that this ginseng won't go bad at home, right? Oh, by the way, there's one more thing, you look at this? This is Xiaobao said that he had seen it in your yard, so he thought about picking it and selling it for money. Father Gu took out a little honeysuckle from his arms and put it on the table. In fact, Daddy Gu also hesitated before he came, if he had shown Li Langzhong the honeysuckle, he would be down-to-earth, but he was afraid that the place where the honeysuckle would grow would not be saved. However, if you think about it, it's better to ask.
Gu Chengyu was startled when he heard about honeysuckle, here! You have to think about how to tell a lie. If it doesn't work, it's better to bring out the rhetoric of dreaming.
"Isn't this honeysuckle? I have indeed sunburned, Xiaobao's eyes are really sharp, and he is still so young, he knows that he wants to help his family make money, not bad! And this ginseng actually has to be concocted simply, at least it must be sun-dried, but if it is only two days apart, it should be okay, and it will be sold to the medical center, and they will concoct it well. Li Langzhong was overjoyed, this little baby always surprised him, he was so smart and blessed, he was more and more satisfied.
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that Li Langzhong had really sunbathed in honeysuckle, and he was immediately relieved. Now that you know each other, you must be able to sell it for money.
"Brother Gu, this honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, is a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying. We are located here in the north, and there are very few honeysuckles in this area, but the dosage is very large, so most of the pharmacies come from the south, and the rich and noble people usually use this to make tea and drink. How many do you have in your home? I also accept this here, and the pharmacy purchase is generally a better ninety wen a catty, of course, it refers to dried flowers. You haven't dried this yet! If it is dried and left to me, I will give you an extra five pennies and a pound, and the quality of this flower is also very good. Li Langzhong couldn't help but be a little envious at this time, why did this good medicinal material make the Gu family's father and son collide? It seems that maybe what the monk said is right, this fifth child of the Gu family is really a blessed person.
"I took this back and weighed it, there were more than 160 catties, but I didn't know how much I could dry."
"It is estimated that there are forty catties or above, then leave five catties for me, I can't use up more, the time will be damp and insects will be damp for a long time, and it will lose its efficacy, or sell it to the pharmacy, they want a large amount, your thirty or forty catties is nothing to them, maybe the more the better!"
Gu Chengyu saw that Li Langzhong did not take the opportunity to estimate the low price of ginseng and take it into his pocket, and did not ask the location of honeysuckle, such an honest character is also worthy of admiration. Suddenly, an idea sprouted in my heart, and the more I thought about it, the more feasible it became, but this matter still needs to be thought out slowly.
"Well, I'll send it to you in two days, thank you so much today! We're going back too, and the work in the field isn't over yet. Father Gu stood up and prepared to say goodbye. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go back and tell the baby his mother.
"It's almost noon, why don't you stay and eat? I asked the in-house to clean up the two dishes, and the two of us had a drink. Li Langzhong saw that Father Gu was going back, so he was busy staying.
"Yes! Why don't you have a light meal at home? It's just coarse tea and light rice, if the Gu family brothers don't dislike it, they will eat it back. Yao also dissuaded.
"Why is this disgusting? Of course not, it's to go home and dry flowers, and there is a lot of work in the field, before coming out, the baby and his mother have already prepared a meal, I'll go back, next time I'll invite you to eat and drink. "Daddy Gu doesn't want to stay at Li's house to eat, to be honest, he is a peasant man, and he usually eats with Li Langzhong, but he doesn't feel anything, but now that he is at Li's house, he is uncomfortable. This Li family looks very exquisite, and the Yao family looks more exquisite, speaking in a gentle voice, and people are also amiable, but he just isn't used to it, he still thinks that his mother-in-law's temperament is real, and even when he is sprinkled and unreasonable, he thinks it is a true temperament.
Gu Chengyu didn't know what his father said about his mother, otherwise he would have laughed at his father for being a masochist, or really a lover.
Li Langzhong saw that he couldn't keep it, so he no longer persuaded him, and the farmer would generally not be polite to keep the meal, unless there was something really wrong.
"If you want to leave, then leave Xiaobao behind, this family is always our husband and wife, it is inevitable that it will be a little deserted, and Xiaobao will stay to eat more lively." Li Langzhong got up and saw Gu Chengyu who had climbed down from the chair, his eyes were full of smiles.
"This? Xiaobao? You see? Father Gu was also surprised when he heard that Li Langzhong wanted to keep Xiaobao, and then thought about it, maybe as Li Langzhong said, the Li family is always the husband and wife, and it is strange and lonely. However, he is also a little reluctant to Xiaobao, Xiaobao has not eaten at another house, and besides, if he goes back when he comes out together, will Jinniang blame him?
"Then disturb Uncle Li and Auntie. Dad, then I'll stay at Uncle Li's house! I want to see him drying medicinal herbs, you go back first! "Gu Chengyu wants to implement the plan in his heart, doesn't he have to stay and cultivate his feelings well?
Li Langzhong heard that Gu Chengyu wanted to stay and watch him dry the medicinal materials, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say to Gu's father: "Since Brother Gu has something, then it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, I will send you back, Xiaobao stays here, you can rest assured, and send it back to you in good condition." After speaking, he walked outside the house, ready to send Daddy Gu off.
Father Gu followed Li Langzhong to the gate of the courtyard, hey? That's not right! Why do you agree? Hurriedly looked back, only to see Gu Chengyu smiling in the courtyard with a smile, and waved at him, "Dad, I'll go back by myself later, you go first!" Then, the courtyard door of the Li family was closed, and Father Gu could only look at the door and sigh, and went back by himself.
After Gu's father left, Yao said that he was going to cook vegetables and went to the stove room, and Li Langzhong took Gu Chengyu to see the medicinal materials he dried.
