Chapter 008: Wild Mountain Ginseng

After passing through the crops, the golden rice was about to fully ripen, and the poles were bent heavily. On the ridges, many farmers walk around to observe the condition of the paddy and see when it is best to harvest.

Lin Xia was in a hot situation some time ago, and some nosy women came over and joked with a smile, "Ouch, isn't this Xia Er, no, now it's called the Lei family's lady." ”

Lin Xia greeted them with a false smile, but she saw the disdain in their eyes, and a large part of the reason came from Lin Xia's mother, Du Shi. Du Shi usually speaks very ugly, often mocks the neighbors on weekdays, and likes to show off, because her family is a relatively wealthy small family in Qingxi Village, but she is usually stingy, and she is only willing to spend money on her husband's son and grandson. Therefore, many people in the village don't like Du's, and naturally their faces are not so good-looking.

Seeing Lin Xia sitting on the wooden board behind the carriage, the woman was a little envious, this was the first carriage in the village. The mouth immediately became sour, "It's really a good marriage, and I'm in the carriage." Is this going to the county seat? ”

"yes, go to the county and buy something." Lin Xia smiled awkwardly, fortunately, the carriage was moving fast, and she had already gone far before she could hear the woman's voice.

"Are you comfortable to sit on?" Lei Biao asked when he saw Lin Xia's face a little ugly.

Hearing that his husband cared about him, he was a little moved in his heart, but he also had to tell the truth: "It's uncomfortable." ”

This sounds like a carriage, but in fact, it is a wooden plank behind the horse, not the ancient one with a canopy. Fortunately, the road is still a little flat, the walk is not bumpy, and now it is still just autumn, the wind is not cool, if it is a cold winter, the blowing of the face hurts, then forget it, I can't afford to enjoy it.

"I'll go to the county and buy you a tent to build."

Lin Xia didn't expect Lei Biao to be so careful, and he was even more moved. Lei Biao didn't say anything more, and looked at the road ahead without saying a word.

When I arrived in Qinghou County, it was finally a lot more lively, pedestrians came and went, there were many small stalls on both sides of the street, and many people were calling for sales. In the middle of the street, there were many donkey carts, ox carts, and horse-drawn carts coming and going, and large piles of goods were placed on the carts, and the people who drove the carts let out a few angry shouts from time to time.

Lin Xia was like a dirt bun, looking left and right everywhere, as if everything was incomparably fresh.

Lei Biao parked the carriage in front of the door of a medicine hall, and Lin Xia jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly followed behind Lei Biao.

The medicine hall exuded the smell of good-smelling and familiar Chinese medicinal materials, and Lin Xia suddenly remembered the two months of Chinese medicine he had drunk before, and shivered all over.

There was an elderly man at the counter who was sorting out the medicinal materials on the table, and when he saw Lei Biao, an acquaintance, he immediately wrinkled, and smiled kindly, "What good things did you take today?" ”

Lei Biao directly handed the box to the old man, and said directly, "Doctor Jia, estimate the price!" ”

Dr. Jia didn't care about Lei Biao's actions, and hurriedly took the box and opened it carefully. Seeing that it was a pair of fine wild ginseng, and hugging each other, his eyes suddenly lit up. I saw that Dr. Jia trembled and picked up the pair of wild ginseng and looked at it carefully, then carefully put it back in the box, bowed his head and was silent for a few seconds.

Lin Xia didn't know why, so he secretly pulled Lei Biao's sleeve, and his eyes showed what the situation was.

"Doctor Jia, what's wrong?" Lei Biao asked, "Is there something wrong with this wild ginseng?" ”

Dr. Jia looked up and saw an expression that was indescribable. "Your wild ginseng is a ginseng, the value is quite high, but it looks average, I can only give you half the price at most."

Lin Xia blinked, and at a glance he could see through Doctor Jia's careful thoughts. This shows that we don't understand the value of this wild ginseng, so we have lowered the price and want to buy it at a low price!

"How much?" Lei Biao didn't bother to talk nonsense, and spoke very directly.

"A hundred taels of silver at most."

Lei Biao didn't say anything, squinting his eyes and staring at this Doctor Jia, who was stared at with a weak heart, and a drop of sweat slipped down his forehead.

Lin Xia couldn't see it, and rushed directly to put away the wooden box containing wild ginseng, "It's only a hundred taels of silver?" You bully people, this pair of wild ginseng must be more than so much money! He turned around and pulled Lei Biao's sleeve to leave, "Husband, let's go, this Doctor Jia is a fake doctor, a pit man!" ”

When Dr. Jia heard this, he immediately called out with a bitter face, "Hey, don't go, don't go, I'll mention another hundred taels!" ”

When Lin Xia heard this, he immediately stopped. She didn't know how much this wild ginseng was worth, and wanted to ask Lei Biao secretly, but he was too tall to ask him about its value.

His eyes rolled, Lin Xia held the box and raised his chin to look at Dr. Najia and said, "Add another sixty taels!" ”

Doctor Jia's little abacus in his heart crackled, and he felt that this business could still be profitable, so he quickly nodded and agreed. Just wanted to take over the wooden box containing wild ginseng from Lin Xia's arms, who knew that Lin Xia came to say, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other!" ”

Doctor Jia was eaten to death by this little lady, and quickly took out two hundred and sixty taels of silver and handed it to Lin Xia, and then got the wild ginseng.

Lin Xia cushioned the weight of the money bag, was in a good mood, and walked out of the medicine hall triumphantly. Seeing people coming and going on the street, Lin Xia hurriedly put the huge sum of two hundred and sixty taels in Lei Biao's arms, after all, Lei Biao was tall and mighty, and it was estimated that the thief would not dare to touch him!

"How much does the wild ginseng cost?" Lin Xia wanted to know if he was selling too expensive or cheap.

Lei Biao was made to cry and laugh by Lin Xia's bargaining just now, and when he saw his proud appearance after coming out of the medicine hall, his heart suddenly softened a little, and even the expression with his face softened a little. "The market price of a wild ginseng is one hundred and fifty taels."

As soon as the words fell, Lei Biao only saw Lin Xia's smug face and immediately pulled it down, crying, "Ah! Cheap that Dr. Jia! ”

"Heh......" Lei Biao couldn't help laughing out loud when he was made by this quirky little lady, Lin Xia immediately raised his head and saw the corners of his lips that were too late to put away, and his heart rippled in a moment.

Oops, my husband is usually handsome with a cold face, and when he laughs, I almost can't help but overlord bow hard!

Lei Biao withdrew his smile, and when he saw Lin Xia's face that couldn't hide his expression, his mood was even more happy, and even his tone of speech was a little softer, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Still in Sichun's thoughts, when he heard the word eating, Lin Xia's eyes immediately lit up, "With some money, let's go eat the most famous restaurant in Qinghou County!" ”

Let's take a look at the level of food in ancient times!

Lei Biao did not object, and led Lin Xia to the most lively restaurant in Qinghou County, Wangjiang Tower.
