Chapter 7: Selling Fennel

"What's wrong with Katsuko?" Jiang Yu'er also walked out, looking at the two little guys arguing about something. My brother went to the land early in the morning, and he went to see if there was still grass in his house that needed to be burned.

Hearing Jiang Yu'er's call, Shengzi remembered that his grandfather asked him to call Sister Niuniu over: "Sister Niuniu, Grandpa asked you to come over." ”

"Oh! Thank you Katsuko. She thanked Shengzi, and wanted to explain that her younger brother was playing with Shengzi at home, but who knew that the younger brother Jiang Ziming was an idle person, and when he heard that he was going to Grandpa Niu's house, where would he be willing to play with Shengzi at home.

"Sister, I'll go too, I'll go too."

Jiang Yu'er glared at him and said, "Why are you like a road dog, everyone else has your share wherever they go!" ”

Dog is a vernacular. It means that I always like to run after others.

"I don't care, I'm going anyway." Jiang Ziming's body twisted and twisted, and he muttered and shouted.

Jiang Yu'er didn't pay attention to him, closed the door that was about to fall, and followed Shengzi towards the head of the village.

"Niuniu, look at it, is it like this?" As soon as Jiang Yu'er entered the door, she was called by Grandpa Niu: "It's just, no matter how you look at it, this thing can't go into the ground?" ”

Jiang Yu'er took a look and found that there seemed to be something missing, walking around the plow, and after looking around, Leng didn't find anything missing. It wasn't until the old man held up the position of the handle that she realized that there was a missing scratch.

"Grandpa, I know what's missing." He slapped his head suddenly, and his face suddenly realized. He asked again: "Grandpa, is there a blacksmith in our village?" ”

When she asked, the old man also found that it seemed that a piece of iron was missing. If there is such a piece of iron in front, it will really become: "Where did the blacksmith come from in our village, the blacksmith is in the town!" Moreover, if you want to buy iron goods, you have to wait until the bazaar to buy them. ”

"Master, I heard my mother say, I'm going to catch the market tomorrow!" At this time, Shengzi, who had been squatting aside and playing with Jiang Ziming, raised his head and said.

Jiang Yuer's eyes lit up, and she thought that the star anise in her house should also be listed. If you can really buy a few dollars, you can also make a scratch. He smiled at the old man, and after saying something, he took Jiang Ziming back.

"Niu Niu, are you sure, this can really be sold?" As soon as he arrived in town, Jiang Amao asked with some anxiety. He wasn't sure if the things in the basket could really be sold.

Jiang Yu'er smiled and comforted: "Brother, let's take a look first!" This is not a costly thing, if it really can't be sold, let's put it at home as a condiment. ”

Jiang Amao thought about it, too. If you can't sell it, you can put it at home as a condiment, and you can also give some to the people in the village. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and pulled his sister to the side, and walked quickly towards the largest baicao hall in the town. This is the largest medical clinic in the town, and my father used to sell some herbs picked in the mountains here.

It is said that relying on the mountains eats the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea. Many people in the village would pick some ordinary herbs in the mountains and sell them to subsidize their families.

As soon as she entered the Baicao Hall, Jiang Yu'er told the guys who greeted her needs with her needs. Soon, the shopkeeper was invited out, looking at the star anise in the cloth bag in front of him, his eyes were full of disbelief: "Little girl, you said that this star anise was figured out by yourself?" ”

"If you go back to the shopkeeper, it is the little sister who figured it out herself." Although Jiang Amao doesn't know everything, he has worked in the town for two years. He felt that he would be better off than his sister when he did these things.

The old shopkeeper grabbed a handful of anise and looked at it, then looked at the little brother and sister in ragged clothes in front of him, and finally said to the brother and sister: "You wait first, and then the old man will take it to the doctor to see the purity." ”

"Shopkeeper, please." Jiang Yu'er made a gesture of please. I saw the old shopkeeper take a handful of octagonals, open the curtain and walk in. A quarter of an hour later, he walked out with squinting eyes.

Seeing the things of the old shopkeeper, Jiang Yu'er's heart rose to her throat, for fear of encountering someone who didn't know the goods.

"Little girl, are you sure you made this star anise yourself?" The old shopkeeper confirmed it again.

"Back to the shopkeeper, yes!" Jiang Yu'er didn't let her brother answer instead of herself this time, but looked at the triangle of the shopkeeper's eyebrows and eyes seriously, and replied.

"Can you tell the old man where you got your method of making star anise?" The old shopkeeper asked again.

"If you go back to the shopkeeper, this recipe is handed down by your ancestors." Jiang Yu'er didn't think about it, and said it directly. These are all thought out in advance, and if you are asked, you will say that they have been passed down from your ancestors. No one asks anything more about it!

The old shopkeeper was obviously stunned: "Oh! The little girl's ancestor is a doctor? He couldn't think of anything else, thinking it was a medical guy who was down. I showed it to Dr. Zhong who was sitting in the hall just now, and said that this star anise is of higher purity than the star anise of Baicaotang, and it is very well done.

Jiang Yu'er was also obviously stunned for a moment, she didn't expect others to ask like this, she thought about it and replied: "Back to the shopkeeper, although the ancestor is not a doctor, he also knows some herbs or something." ”

Seeing her like this, the old shopkeeper obviously noticed something, but he couldn't catch it for a while. Finally, he asked, "Little girl, how much are you going to sell this star anise?" ”

At this time, Jiang Yu'er was really unprepared, because she didn't know what the market price of this star anise was, she glanced at her brother, obviously he didn't know anything, and finally could only look at the old shopkeeper and say, "Shopkeeper, look, how much is this star anise worth?" ”

She wanted to see the price given by the old shopkeeper, and then analyze it, it should be about the same.

The old shopkeeper looked at her with a pair of shrewd eyes, and after glancing at Jiang Amao again, he said after a while: "Little girl, the purchase price of this star anise is fifteen wen, see that your star anise is better medicinal than others, give you sixteen wen, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Yu'er didn't know the current market price, but she didn't want to be deceived, so she looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, if the price you give is reasonable, the herbs that will come out of my house will be sent to your Baicaotang." "It means that if you deceive me, no matter what medicine you have, you won't be able to send it for a while.

The old shopkeeper really didn't deceive her or anything, but when she heard that she might have other herbs in her hand, she thought about it and said, "Little brother, little girl, if there are other packed herbs to be sent over in the future, how about the old man give you another two pennies?" After speaking, he also compared two stubby fingers.

Jiang Yu'er saw it and smiled: "Then thank you to the shopkeeper." She thought, it should be like this, and if she wants more, it may not be so simple.
