Chapter 11 Selling Herbs

When I got up the next morning, I saw Xia He's elongated face, obviously extremely reluctant to take the two sisters to the town today to spend money.

At that time, Xia Yinghan and Xia Yingwei followed Xia He out and prepared to go to the village to take an ox cart to the town. Xia Yingwei brought a small cloth bag, which should be the embroidery she embroidered, and was ready to take it to the town to sell.

When I came to the entrance of the village, the ox cart was already waiting there, and several girls and daughters-in-law from the village were sitting on the cart. The boss of the Xia He clan reluctantly took out three copper plates from his arms and gave them to Uncle Tian, who was driving the car, and took the two sisters to get on the ox cart.

"Ah, sister-in-law Xia, what's the wind blowing today, you are actually going to town?" It was Wang Cui who spoke, she looked at the two sisters Xia Yinghan, and asked quite strangely, "What about the big flower and the flower sister." ”

Everyone in the village knows that Xia He is a miser, and he usually doesn't go to the town much, but today he not only went to the town by himself, but also took the two girls from the family with him.

Xia He listened to Wang Cui's yin and yang weird voice, pulled his face, raised a smile that wanted to laugh or not, and replied: "Yes, my two girls are about to get married, and this kind of good day can't make two new clothes." Then he pretended to sigh, "This time I'm going to be busy helping the two sisters find their in-laws, but the two girls in my family are both good-natured, so I don't think it will be as difficult to find as some people." ”

The other people in the car all lowered their heads and laughed when they heard Xia He's words. Isn't someone in Xia He's words talking about Wang Cui? Because Wang Cui likes to play with right and wrong, and people who don't want to have a restless house look down on Wang Cui, she is nineteen years old this year and has not yet married.

"You...... Who you say can't get married? ”

"Who did I say? I didn't name her, and I can't help it. Xia Xia He smiled coldly.

"You...... You ...... "Wang Cui is still too young after all, and Xia He's more than ten years of food than her is not for nothing."

As the old saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, and that's not wrong at all.

Wang Cui said that Xia He could only sit on the side and sulk. Without Wang Cui's mixing, the atmosphere along the way was still relatively relaxed, and everyone talked and laughed and soon arrived in the town.

The ox cart stopped outside the town, and after confirming with Uncle Tian the time to return to the village, everyone entered the town. Xia Yinghan looked at Aunt Hua who came to the town with her when she got out of the car, and after seeing Aunt Hua nodding, she followed Xia He into the town.

This is the first time that Xia Yinghan has crossed over and left Pingsi Village. Looking at the streets lined with people and shops in front of you, it was a novelty.

Taijiang Town, adjacent to the Taijiang River, the official road in the inner link, at first was just a small wharf, after the official road was built, opened up the north and south trade channel, as the south of the river, the land to the north of the transit station, it gradually developed, forming the current considerable scale of Taijiang Town.

Xia He took Xia Yinghan and Xia Yingwei to a ready-to-wear store, because it was the day of the two in two days, Xia He's had no plan to make new clothes for the two sisters, and now that Mr. Xia has spoken, it is too late to pull new cloth to make it, so he can only come to the store to buy ready-to-wear. This is also one of the reasons why Xia He is unhappy, ready-to-wear clothes are much more expensive than cloth.

Choosing two cotton dresses that looked good in the ready-to-wear store, Xia He paid with a painful face. Out of the door of the store, she said to Xia Yinghan and the two: "I have something to do here, you can walk around the town casually, and when the time comes, you will go to the entrance of the town by yourself." After speaking, he left without waiting for the two to answer, as if there was something urgent.

"Cousin, I'm going to consign the embroidery in my hand, let's go."

"Cousin, you go by yourself, I won't go."

Xia Yingwei looked at Xia Yinghan in surprise, her cousin is timid, she follows her every time she comes to town, why do you want to leave by herself today?

Xia Yinghan saw Xia Yingwei looking at herself puzzled, and hurriedly explained: "I haven't been to town for a long time, so I want to take a look." ”

Although Xia Yingwei was puzzled, she still nodded, "Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself, and don't forget the time to go back to the village." ”

After saying that, he took care of himself and left.

Seeing Xia Yingwei's figure disappear in front of him, Xia Yinghan turned around and ran towards the dock. Today, she knew that Aunt Hua was also coming to the town, so she asked Aunt Hua to bring the snakeberries and wild ginseng dug in the mountains to the town.

After inquiring all the way to the dock, Xia Yinghan found Aunt Hua sitting on the embankment. Today is the death day of Aunt Hua's wife, and every year on this day, Aunt Hua will bring a pot of wine to the riverside to pay tribute to him.

After getting something from Aunt Hua, Xia Yinghan went straight to a relatively large medical center in the town. The medicine boy standing at the counter in the medical hall saw Xia Yinghan enter the door, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Sister, is it to see a doctor or to grab medicine?" ”

"You guys are collecting herbs here, right? I have some herbs that I want to sell to you. ”

It was not surprising that the medicine boy heard that Xia Yinghan was here to sell herbs. Usually, people will sell them the herbs that are occasionally dug up in the mountains, and as long as they are in good condition, they will accept them in the hospital.

"Sister, please come here, let's go over there and say, we want to test your herbs a priori, as long as they are good, we will accept them."

"yes, okay." Xia Yinghan knew that everything she bought had to be inspected, so she followed the medicine boy to the side of the cubicle.

Xia Yinghan put the cloth bag on the table and opened it, the medicine boy stepped forward to take a look, saw a large handful of snakeberries, turned over and turned over and there was a ginseng underneath, the medicine boy picked it up in surprise and looked at it, "Sister, this is ...... Wild ginseng? ”

"Hmm...... I guess so. "Actually, Xia Yinghan still doesn't know if this thing is a wild ginseng.

"Sister, please wait a moment, I'm going to let our shopkeeper take a look at this."

"Okay."

After the medicine boy went out, he led a middle-aged man into the cubicle after a while. With a smiling face, the visitor said hello to Xia Yinghan and came to the table.

"This ...... It's really wild ginseng. The shopkeeper took the wild mountain ginseng on the table and looked at it for a long time, and said with some surprise.

"Sister, we have collected all these herbs from you, although snakeberries are relatively ordinary, but you brought a lot of them, I will give you five hundred wen. As for this wild ginseng, although the year is not big, but the condition is good, how about I give you 500 taels? ”

Xia Yinghan was taken aback, this wild ginseng could be sold for five hundred taels. Although she was amazed in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, the most important thing in doing business with people is to be able to pretend to be forced.

"Okay."

Five hundred taels is not a small amount, but Xia Yinghan's face was not shocked, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Xia Yinghan seriously. This girl should be dressed in the surrounding villages, but she does not have that kind of cowardly and vulgar appearance, but has the style of a young lady.

"Sister, aren't you afraid that I will pit you?"

"The shopkeeper laughed, Zhouji Medical Center is the only time-honored brand in the town with a history of 100 years, and the radius of hundreds of miles from dignitaries to dignitaries and peddlers are full of praise for Zhouji Medical Hall, I believe that the shopkeeper will never do anything to hurt the reputation of his own medical center." After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the shopkeeper is a good person at first glance, how can he bully such a little girl as me." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the little girl in front of him, her eyes flashed with wisdom, and she laughed out loud: "Yes, I am a good person, but I can't do anything to bully the little girl, my surname is Zhou, presumably my sister should know, my sister's surname?" ”

"Don't dare to be your surname, I'm just a small village girl, my surname is Xia."

"Then Sister Xia, I'll ask Xiaoliu to give you the money later, and next time you can come to our clinic if you have any herbs, and we will accept them."

"Thank you so much for Shopkeeper Zhou!" Xia Yinghan was very happy, it would be better to have a fixed seller in the future.

Xia Yinghan took five silver tickets of one hundred taels and a string of copper plates into his arms, and walked out of the medical hall under the eyes of Shopkeeper Zhou and the medicine boy Xiaoliu.

Seeing Xia Yinghan walking away, Xiao Liu couldn't help but look at his shopkeeper, "Boss Zhou, how can you promise this girl to accept any herbs?" "There are certain standards for accepting herbs in their own hospitals, but they don't accept herbs that are too ordinary and rotten on the street.

Shopkeeper Zhou turned around and slapped Xiao Liu on the back of the head, "What a fool, this girl doesn't look like an ordinary village girl, maybe she will soar in the future, and when the time comes, we will not be able to benefit from it, and it may be convenient for you to be with others in the future." After a pause, as if reminiscing about something, he sneered, "Besides, this girl is really interesting...... I'm a great person. ”

Xiao Liu touched the back of his head that was hurt and looked at his shopkeeper inexplicably, laughing, and walked back to the inner hall.
