However, Dr. Chen said, "Some time ago, I went to the county seat to buy medicinal materials, and I heard from the pharmacists in the county town that the county master's father was seriously ill and needed to use the century-old Ganoderma lucidum to make medicine. ”

Mu Jiu nodded, this is the truth.

"I don't know if this time has passed, has the county master found Lingzhi, why don't you go and help the girl ask tomorrow?"

Mu Jiu pondered for a moment, "I'll go with you." ”

After this period of contact, she is relieved of Dr. Chen, but she is not at ease with the pharmacist!

Let alone......

She thought about it, if she could cure the illness of the county lord's father, maybe she would be able to get a favor from the county lord, and she would not dare to say that there would be one more help when she thought of the development of the county in the future, at least the county lord would not be embarrassed.

With an idea in his heart, Mu Jiu didn't stay, quit Dr. Chen and left the pharmacy.

Doctor Chen had to reluctantly send Mu Jiu out, and after Mu Jiu left, he called the medicine boy and told him earnestly, "Jian'an, you remember, no matter when the girl comes in the future, you have to be well entertained, don't slack off, you know?" ”

The medicine boy's name is Chen Jian'an, he is the old son of Dr. Chen, and he is quite clever, "I know, the girl is definitely not a simple character, and she has a bright future with her." ”

Doctor Chen nodded with a teachable look.

…

Out of Chen's Medical Hall, Mu Jiu went directly to the vegetable market.

Half a bag of rice owed to Lin Changsheng's family should be returned, and Mu Jiu's first destination - rice shop.

There are two rice shops in Wanbao Town, which stand opposite each other.

Mu Jiu walked into the first one, the boss was a tall and thin man, seeing that Mu Jiu was dressed shabby, his attitude was a little cold, "What kind of rice does the girl want?" These are broken rice that has just come out, and it costs three cents a pound. ”

Sanpenny?

In fact, Mu Jiu has no concept of copper coins, after all, in the capital, it is silver.

But she knew that Li Xiaotao's daily salary was three cents.

After a hard day's work, it is only worth a pound of broken rice?

Mu Jiu looked at the contempt in the eyes of the tall boss again and retreated.

"What kind of thing, if you don't buy it when you enter Lao Tzu's store, you're lucky!" The tall boss scolded in the back.

Mu Jiu walked into the second house indifferently.

The boss is a fat man, and when he saw the guest, he greeted him with a smile, "What the girl wants, the shop has everything, polished rice, brown rice, and wheat!" ”

may see that Mu Jiu is dressed in tatters, and deliberately introduced the broken rice, "This broken rice is actually very thick, and it only sells for two cents and five pounds, do you want to have some?" ”

Mu Jiu glanced at it roughly and pointed to one of the cloth bags, "How can this kind of rice be sold?" ”

She didn't know how to choose the quality of rice, she only knew that Lin Shifu lent her this kind of rice.

The best grade polished rice! The boss looked happy, "Six cents a pound!" ”

Mu Jiu has one hundred and fifty yuan in his hand, which can be bought for twenty-five catties.

The half bag of rice that Lin Shifu lent her was estimated to be about ten catties, and she gave it back to him, and she didn't have much left.

"Is the boss a package?"

"Does the girl live in town?" The boss didn't answer immediately.

"Mujia Village."

"I'm sorry girl, the store has a small profit, and it doesn't make any money, if it is sent to the village again, it will be a loss, the girl can let your father pick it back."

Mu Jiu wanted to pick it back to Mu Rongguang?

She was a little worried, Lin Laogou helped her unload the medicinal herbs and left, if she bought dozens of catties of rice, she couldn't take it back.

The fat boss said enthusiastically, "If the girl wants to buy some back, the little one can help the girl contact an ox cart." ”

"Okay, but I'm going to wait a little bit and buy it, and I'm going to buy some small things."

Mu Jiu got out of the rice shop and went to the butcher shop.

One hundred and fifty yuan was spent, five catties of pork belly were bought, and the seller went to the place where he used it, bought a bucket and a few jars, and spent another sixty yuan.

The Great Xia Dynasty was a decimal unit, and one thousand wen money was equal to one tael of silver.

Mu Jiu took the only nine hundred copper coins left in his hand, and sighed for the first time that the money was really good!

I went to the rice shop and bought 50 catties of polished rice, and I only had more than 600 yuan left in my hand.

Coincidentally, the fat boss said that he was helping Mu Jiu find an ox cart, and it was Lin Laogou who was looking for it.

"Jiu'er! Coincidental! "Lin Zhou is very welcoming.

"Qiao!" In comparison, Mu Jiu was much colder.

There was business to do, and Lin Zhou didn't care, so he helped Mu Jiu put the polished rice on the ox cart, and put the bucket on it with some small items.

Back at home, it was already noon.

On a sunny day, Mu Hongli was gesturing his fists and feet at the door, and the little boy was sweating profusely and decent.

"Sister!" Mu Hongli stopped what he was doing and ran out towards Mu Jiu.

"Fool, the sun is so big, you don't know how to rest for a while!"

Mu Hongli smirked, his big eyes were shining, "If you are full of strength and strength, you naturally can't be lazy." ”

"Then come and help my sister move these things in!" Mu Jiu commanded Mu Hongli without any pressure at all.

Mu Hongli picked up a bag of rice that was heavier than him and moved it to the room.

"You go carry the bucket." Mu Jiu snatched the rice bag.

Although Mu Hongli can move, children's bones are very tender, and carrying overweight things is easy to damage bones, which has a bad impact on growing taller in the future.

"Manulife is a man, and my sister is going to move light."

"Together."

The sister and brother carried a bag of rice into the room, and Lin Zhou helped her move the bucket into the next room, let's talk about the kitchen for the time being.

Mu Jiu was about to move the jars and other tools, and Lin Zhou's exclamation sounded in the kitchen, "Jiu'er, you have made a fortune!" Bought so much meat! ”

Mu Jiu wanted Lin Zhou to swallow back what he had just said!

This voice can bring trouble!

But the words he said couldn't be taken back, Mu Jiu's face was gloomy, he took ten yuan, walked into the kitchen, and stuffed it into Lin Zhou's hand, "Auntie has worked hard, I'll move these things myself." ”

lest Lin Zhou scream.

Lin Zhoushi realized that he was abrupt just now, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry Jiu'er, auntie...... My aunt has really never seen so much meat, and she is a little excited. ”

He swallowed as he spoke.

The last time I ate meat, it was during the Chinese New Year.

What else can Mu Jiu say, "Don't blame the aunt, you go back first, Jiu'er won't send it." ”

Lin Zhou left the kitchen and greeted Lin Laogou, and the husband and wife drove the ox cart away.

Like a monkey, Mu Hongli jumped into the kitchen, approached Mu Jiu and said to Mu Jiu in a very small voice, "Sister, did you buy meat?" ”

Mu Jiu nodded, "Does Manulife want to eat?" ”

Mu Hongli swallowed his saliva and nodded, "Think, what does meat taste like?" ”

Mu Jiu's chest was sour, "Haven't you eaten in the hall?" ”

Mu Hongli lowered his head, very sad, "Grandma never let me eat meat, saying that I didn't work and didn't give me meat, but sister, I went to the field with my father to pull weeds." ”

This is clearly bullying children!

The best in the family!

"It's all over, if Manulife wants to eat meat in the future, my sister will buy it back."

"But we don't have that much money, and I'm happy to have enough to eat."

"It's okay, it's on my sister."

Mu Hong nodded with his strength, "Sister is the best!" ”

After a while, it seemed that his mood was suddenly low, "But I can't bear to let my sister work so hard." ”

Mu Jiu bent down so that his eyes could be level with Mu Hongli, "Manulife, no matter who it is or what identity it is, it is not easy to live in this world, and hard work is also graded, if you work hard for your relatives to have enough food and clothing, no matter how hard and tired you are, you will feel happy."

My sister can make money to buy meat for you to eat, and my sister is very happy. Just like Manulife, Manulife is also very happy to be able to help her sister work. ”

Mu Hongli stretched out his short little hand and hugged Mu Jiu, "Hmm...... It's nice to have a sister. ”

"Then you have to be kind to your sister in the future."

Mu Jiu will never forget that Mu Hongli himself received a pitiful amount of rice, and secretly hid rice for her.

Mu Hongli's tone was resolute, "That's nature!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's go cook the rice first, I'll go cut the pork belly, and I'll cook the braised pork for you to eat."

Li Xiaotao went to work for the forest landowner, and he didn't come back at noon, and he brought a bamboo tube of water for a day.

Mu Jiu cut the meat into small pieces, fried it until the lard burst out, washed the jar, poured the oil into it and stored it, and then added various spices, and after a quarter of an hour, the mouth-watering aroma wafted out of the kitchen.

Mu Yifan ran out of the house, leaning against the wall not far from the kitchen, looking in, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mu Jiu was stir-frying, and he didn't notice it, Mu Hongli first asked Mu Jiu's opinion, "Sister, can I give a little to Yifan to eat?" ”

"Yes."

Mu Hongli ran out happily and took Mu Yifan's hand, "Yifan goes to my house, my sister is making things." ”

Yifan followed behind Mu Hongli timidly, his face full of confusion.

Mu Jiu took a bowl and shoveled a few pieces of meat and stuffed them into Mu Yifan's hands, "Two pieces for each of you." ”

Mu Yifan stared at the bowl tangledly, stunned and didn't take it.

"It's okay, my sister still cooked a lot."

Mu Yifan didn't take it, "My mother said that you can't take other people's things casually." ”

Mu Jiu's heart throbbed inexplicably, Aunt Mu Jiu educated Mu Yifan very well.

"Yifan, do you call me sister?" Mu Jiu blinked.

Mu Yifan's little head nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then why is my sister someone else, it's my sister, take it, it's okay, if your 1st mother asks, you will say that your sister insists on giving it."

Mu Yifan put the bowl down, "But I still can't take it, my sister is not our family's own sister." ”

Mu Jiu, "......"

Well, that makes sense.

Mu Yifan said again, "My sister just let me smell the meat." ”

Mu Jiudun felt sad, the children of poor families are basically like this.

The only difference is that Mu Yifan's tutor is very good!

Mu Jiu put the bowl back in Mu Yifan's hand, "Yifan, do you know that there is a word called borrowing first and then returning?" ”

Mu Yifan shook his head ignorantly, "I don't know." ”

"My sister told you, like my sister a few days ago, I still live in your room even though I don't have any money, it's called borrowing first, and now that my sister has money, she should pay it back to you. But your 1st mother said that she would not accept money, and her sister used these pieces of meat as repayment. ”

Mu Yifan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he was confused but did not push the bowl away again.
