Chapter 12: Ginger

The shopkeeper Zhan took a piece of gastrodia and looked at it again and again, and asked with some disbehesitation: "Girl, you also picked up this gastrodia yourself?" ”

Seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper Zhan, Jiang Yu'er didn't know what he was thinking. He smiled generously and nodded, "Yes!" Uncle please take a look, how much can it be sold for in such a condition? There are not many finished products made at home, and the small ones are left, and I believe that this time next year, a large number of them can be provided. ”

The shopkeeper Zhan was directly stunned, I heard her say that she wanted to plant Banxia, and I thought that Banxia could be planted in dry land, but this Tianma, it's not that no one has tried it, but no one can plant it. Can she really grow a little girl?

It's good to say that the shopkeeper Zhan has also seen the world, so he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Girl, are you sure you can really provide a large amount next year?" ”

"Yes!" It was Jiang Amao who spoke, and he heard his sister talk about the cultivation method of Tianma. Although I don't know how my sister, who has been out of the door, knows about it, he believes it. It is an unconditional trust in my sister.

Jiang Yu'er also smiled and asked: "Uncle, you just give a price, what is the purchase price here this Tianma, I will sum it up!" ”

After the shopkeeper Zhan pondered for a while, he said, "Girl, don't worry, I'll ask the doctor, and then I'll come to meet you." ”

Lifted the curtain of the door and walked out with two gastrodia.

"Master, look!" In the inner hall, a man in a moon-white robe sat down, a white moon fan on a pair of plums was open, and the tea on the desk was wafting with fragrance. When he saw the gastrodia in the hand of the shopkeeper Zhan, he also stood up suddenly.

took the gastrodia, looked at it carefully, and said, "Where did this gastrodia come from?" ”

"Back to the master, this is what the girl who sold star anise brought over." After thinking about it, she said: "She also said that she can plant hemp this day." There is also half a summer. ”

The man in white hurriedly said, "Are you sure?" ”

"Back to the master, it's too small to be sure. But the little girl said it in a conclusive way, and it must be impossible, and she would not say it. ”

"Where's the girl?"

"I'm still waiting outside the hall to reply!"

"Such gastrodia, you say, as long as she can grow it, I will accept it in Baicaotang. As for the price, you told her that such a finished product will cost five taels of silver a catty. ”

Five taels of silver, in this era, can be regarded as a good price. Two taels of silver can be chewed for a year in ordinary people's homes. Five taels of silver, that's already a very wealthy family.

"Yes, yes, that little one is busy going out." Shopkeeper Zhan nodded busily, opened the curtain and went out.

After the brother and sister asked, they also knew the price. Jiang Amao was also happy, only Jiang Yu'er had a faint and superfluous expression. The brother and sister also bought more than a tael of silver today, Jiang Yuer thought about it for a while, there is still food at home, it is better to buy a quilt and go back first. When I sell my gastrodia, I will buy another one. In this way, the winter will be able to survive.

I bought a quilt, and there are still a few hundred Wen left. Jiang Yu'er thought again about the original intention when she came from home. I followed my brother to the seed store again.

Seeing a room full of rice seeds, corn seeds, and some rapeseed seeds, Jiang Yu'er was a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged: "Shopkeeper, do you only have these seeds in your family?" ”

"What seeds does the little girl need?" The shopkeeper glanced at the brother and sister, although the clothes were old, they were all clean. What's more, the door-to-door is a customer, no matter how big the deal is, it is still a business after all.

Jiang Yu'er thought about it, and she didn't know if what she said would be a little shocking. So he asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any other seeds here besides these seeds?" Take them all out and let's take a look! ”

Who knew that when the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked the shopkeeper to go to the backyard to carry two large bags of things. From afar, Jiang Yu'er smelled a strong Jiang Er's heart, and her heart was excited, but on the surface, it was not obvious at all.

Jiang Amao stepped forward and glanced at the things in the small second-hand hand, his brows furrowed, and he must not know what was in the bag. Jiang Yu'er came up like a curious little girl, looked at the ginger in the bag and asked pretendedly, "Shopkeeper, what is this, it feels weird." ”

When the shopkeeper saw it, he was also a little irritable. Obviously, the two children didn't know about it. But since they asked, they answered truthfully: "The little girl doesn't know." This kind of seed was originally brought by a few Fanbang people, but when it arrived in our Zhiyun Town, there was no winding fee, and this time it was sold to the old man at a low price. What is called ginger, the old man also saw that he was pitiful, so he gave twenty yuan to buy it. Thinking that they are also selling seeds anyway, they might as well sell them first, and if someone wants to buy them, they can buy them. ”

Jiang Yu'er asked again: "Does the shopkeeper know how to grow this ginger and what is the use?" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper's face was embarrassed. How did he know how to grow this thing? I don't know what this thing is for.

Jiang Yu'er also seemed to see his difficulty, pulled his brother's sleeve and said, "Brother, I look at this thing, it smells very good, why don't we buy some and go back to smoke the house?" ”

Seeing her sister like this, where would Jiang Amao not know what she wanted to do? Don't you just want to buy some and try them out? Why bother to buy it and smoke it back in a roundabout way.

He pretended to glare at his sister, and asked the shopkeeper of the seed store helplessly: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this kind of thing?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard that someone was buying, he would still ask for a high price. This thing has been in the store for two months, and if it hadn't been well preserved, I'm afraid there would be nothing left. The three bags that were full before are now only these two bags, and I don't know how many of them are broken. The shopkeeper was not high-minded, and said: "Since the little girl wants to take it back to smoke the house, I am a businessman, and I don't want to suffer a loss, so you can take it at the cost price of 20 yuan!" What he didn't say was that he bought back five bags for twenty yuan, and now twenty yuan sold the remaining two bags.

When Jiang Yu'er heard this, she was overjoyed, and pulled her brother's sleeve and asked him to buy it. Soon, the brother and sister walked out of the seed store with a small bag of ginger on their backs. Because they took a lot of things, the brother and sister didn't want to save any money, so they went to the street to find Niu Erye.

Seeing that it was a brother and sister, the second master Niu enthusiastically helped to take the baskets on their bodies and put them on the ox cart. After asking a few words with concern, the others drove the ox cart back to Zhangzhuang Village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw my younger brother standing at the door of my house and looking out. Suddenly, my heart was moved. This is the family, no matter how poor or small the family is, as long as you come back from afar, there will be someone to greet you at the door of your home, this is a good thing.
