Chapter 012: Selling Ginseng

Walking to the courtyard of the front yard, Zhao Lichen went back to the second floor under the pretext of having something, the two families were so close, just behind their homes, and if this place was not safe, who would believe it, and in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't want people to see him alone with Lu Yufen.

Lu Yumei looked at Zhao Lichen's back, her eyebrows were dyed with a trace of sadness, and her two hands were clenched tightly. She has liked the man for so many years, and she is about to be robbed in the blink of an eye, she used to think that his engagement was just a rumor, but she didn't expect that this time his grandmother was sick, his fiancΓ©e really came yesterday, although the woman was dressed plainly, but she didn't look bad, and she felt that Lichen didn't look at her with as disgust as she looked at her, did she really have no chance at all?

No way! Very unwilling! She can't just leave it at that, otherwise she won't even be as good as a redneck! Anyway, she is also one of the best girls in this military region, and her family background is slightly inferior to the Zhao family, but his father is the deputy

There was more resentment in his eyes, and at the same time, there was more calculation......

After leaving her grandmother's house, she didn't go back to the house but wanted to go out for a walk, and she finally came here, and she might not use it in the future, so she wanted to go out for a walk.

This area is a military region, and the people who live in the army are soldiers, Xiaoxiao left the Zhao family and suddenly felt less depressed, and the air in this era is very good, unlike the air pollution that was serious later, she didn't want to move out at home on weekdays.

The key is that she has precious medicinal materials in her space, she doesn't have much money on her now, and she wants to go out to exchange some money or food stamps, and the price of selling medicinal materials in big cities is better than in the town, so she only sold ginseng for ten years before, and gave some money to the Li family as compensation for taking care of her for a month.

Zhao Lichen returned home, but Zhou Xiaoxiao was not seen upstairs and downstairs, and Tian Hua asked him where Xiaoxiao went.

Frowning and annoyed, he went back to the door to look, it didn't take long for the woman to run away, thinking that such a big woman said that she wouldn't do anything, but she shouldn't lose it if she walked around here.

So he walked out of the yard with his feet up, intending to go about his own business.

Xiaoxiao came to a street not far from the military region, found a pharmacy, looked left and right at the door, and walked in when there was no one in the store.

This pharmacy is still an old-fashioned shop, the lobby is still a simple wooden fence cabinet, inside the counter, two masters wearing gray coats are processing medicinal herbs, the copper bowl and copper pestle collide to make a crisp sound, making Xiaoxiao feel that the traditional method is still using the traditional method to concoct medicinal herbs. Two tall wooden cabinets are placed against the wall, and on them are small drawers containing various Chinese medicines. On the right there is a glass medicine cabinet of Western medicine, which is similar to the cabinet style of the Western pharmacy later, it seems that there are both Western and Western medicines in this store, and the medicine is still very complete, and I just walked a little way to see that this store is also the largest.

The air exudes a faint smell of Chinese medicine, Xiaoxiao smells very familiar with the smell of Chinese herbal medicines, and in her previous life, she often stayed in the Chinese medicine pharmacy to dispense medicines.

Pharmacies not only sell medicines, but also occasionally buy herbs and the like, if people know about herbs, they dig up in the mountains and dry them to sell them, and they can also exchange some money for subsidizing their families on weekdays. The grandfather of the Li family was like this before, but unfortunately he was old, and a few days ago he went up the mountain to dig medicine and fell downhill and broke a foot, and he couldn't go up the mountain again, and he couldn't even walk.

Xiaoxiao came to the counter and asked the eldest sister behind the counter.

"Hello, there is a place to buy medicinal herbs? Is it? Xiaoxiao asked tentatively.

Behind the counter sat a woman in her thirties, dressed in white overalls, who had just taken a sip and put down the enamel cup, and looked her eyes up and down.

I have never seen this girl come to buy medicine, and her face is very unfamiliar, and she looks like she came from the countryside when she dresses up, and even if such a poor person sells it, there will be no good medicinal herbs.

He waved his hand with some disdain and said: "No, no, we are a state-run pharmacy, and the medicines are all designated to be allocated, and we will no longer buy the outside, you hurry up and leave the province, which affects our business." ”

After listening to this, Xiaoxiao's forehead suddenly protruded and his eyebrows turned angrily and replied directly: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it!"

Turning around and wanting to leave, such a dog looks down on people, she doesn't want to sell ginseng to her.

Just as he was about to walk out, he saw a big man rush in at the door, if it wasn't for Xiaoxiao hiding the plot, the two almost collided.

The man was out of breath, and it seemed that he had run all the way, and he hurried up to the woman just now, and couldn't stop panting: "Excuse me - is there any ginseng, the longer the year, the better." ”

His child's mother was sick, and the doctor said that it would take more than ten years of ginseng to make up for it to save it, and it had to be fast, otherwise his wife would not be cured after today, so he hurriedly ran out to the largest pharmacy to ask for ginseng.

"This ...... The last one was bought in the morning, and the new ones haven't come down yet. "It's a pity that business can't be done.

The man's face immediately showed disappointment, and his wife was waiting for help, but there was no stock.

Xiaoxiao saw the man's appearance and immediately had an idea, she didn't sell ginseng to the drugstore, it was better to sell it to the person in front of her, as long as the price was right, she would sell it.

Besides, looking at this person coming here in a hurry, with an impatient look on his face, there must be a sick person at home waiting for ginseng to save people. She can be regarded as helping him and doing a good deed.

The man walked out disappointed, and was about to go to another pharmacy to ask.

At this time, Shinoxiao stepped forward.

"Big brother, do you want to buy ginseng, I have a ginseng here that is about twenty years old, do you want it?"

"Really, you really have ginseng in your hands! My child's mother is waiting for ginseng to save her life. ”

I looked at Xiaoxiao in surprise, my eyes were dimmed by disappointment before, but now I immediately recovered when I heard Xiaoxiao's words.

Shinoxiao followed him to a no-man's corner, and then pulled out a ginseng from her pocket that she had taken out of the space earlier.

I opened a piece of blue cloth in my palm, and there was a wild ginseng lying in it, "This is twenty years of wild ginseng!" Its reed bowl is dense, with ring lines, the surface skin is old and dark, it has been for 20 years, if you don't believe it, we can take it to the pharmacy and ask to distinguish the real from the fake. ”

Xiaoxiao's words fell, and the man took the ginseng from top to bottom, and looked carefully to confirm that it was really a ginseng, but I don't know how many years.

He hesitated before speaking, "That's it...... Why don't we go in and show the people inside what age this ginseng is, don't mind, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really my family, the doctor said that you must use ginseng for more than ten years, otherwise it won't work. I'm afraid that if this ginseng is not old enough and the medicinal effect is not enough......"

Xiaoxiao understood his concerns, "Okay, let's go in and ask again." ”

"Didn't I tell you that there was no ginseng!" When the woman just now saw the man turn back again, she couldn't help but raise her voice and said with a bad attitude.

The man was a little annoyed by the reprimand, but now that the situation was special, he didn't dare to care, so he had to ask, "No, I want to ask about the year of this ginseng." ”

After speaking, he opened the blue cloth in his hand, and inside was the ginseng that Xiaoxiao gave him.

This wild ginseng is in good condition, the roots are intact, and it looks like it has a certain year.

The clerk excitedly took it in his hand and looked at it again, "At least twenty years or more, and the shape and condition are very good, this comrade, where did you buy this?" ”

The man pointed to Xiaoxiao next to him, "I bought it with her." ”
