"The day after tomorrow is the Duanyang Festival, and the bamboo forests in the eight villages of ten miles have no leaves. Of course, it's expensive. ”

Zhu Hongyu's words are half-true, and the women and children in the village have never learned such marketing methods.

"Really?"

The woman hurriedly took out a small money bag, counted out twelve pieces of silver, and handed it to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu is also a clever person, and counted fifteen bamboo leaves for this woman.

"Sister, give you a few more pieces, you tell the neighbors that I have dumpling leaves for sale here."

The woman was very happy all of a sudden, took the bamboo leaves and went home, and said a word or two to everyone she knew on the way.

Within half an hour, a group of people gathered in front of Zhu Hongyu's stall.

A few days ago, Zhu Hongyu was also such a marketing method, selling two pieces for a penny. But the Duanyang Festival is coming in a blink of an eye, and the people in the village who originally said that they can't celebrate the festival still want to take advantage of this festival to celebrate when they see that the plague is not too noisy.

But the croppers don't have a lot of silver all year round, so they shrink down and buy a dozen pieces to go back to make zongzi.

This basket of dumpling leaves, Zhu Jincian was compacted and carried back, to say the least, there are eighty catties

At the end of the afternoon, Zhu Hongyu sold seven coins of silver, mined labor costs, and made a net profit of six dollars and forty yuan.

Zhu Hongyu knows that more people will buy this bamboo leaf tomorrow.

After selling the bamboo leaves, and when it was time to go home, Zhu Hongyu carried the basket on her back.

It is impossible to sell all the bamboo leaves, and she still has dozens of pieces left to sell.

On the way back, Zhu Hongyu came to the only "commercial street" in the village.

This street is located at the east end of the village, and it is said to be a commercial street, but in fact, five shops have opened on one street.

There is a dry goods store here, which Zhu Hongyu saw when she changed wormwood a few days ago.

Today, she finished work a little early, and finally had the opportunity to come to this shop to buy something and improve her food.

The front of the dry goods store is sprinkled and clean, and the door is also shiny. The gold-lettered sign of "Dried Fruit Shop" was shining, and there were a few people sitting in the store, like a customer who was shopping for something, chatting with the boss.

Zhu Hongyu walked in the door, and the boss saw that Zhu Hongyu was wearing tatters, but he still stood up angrily.

"Little girl, what to buy? Medicated sugar? Stirring up sugar? Or peanuts and melon seeds? ”

Zhu Hongyu looked around.

I saw that this small country shop was very well lit, the old house was covered with new mud, and there were many dried fruits on the counter.

The small number and variety are common, which is a common feature of small country shops.

"Boss, come two taels of dried dates, two taels of candied dates."

I saw the boss looking at Zhu Hongyu in amazement, obviously she didn't look like a rich person.

"Thirteen texts."

Zhu Hongyu took out the money bag, counted a big coin of ten yuan, went to a money of five yuan, and handed it to the boss.

"No need to look for it. Hurry up and wrap it for me, I'll go home and make zongzi. ”

The boss suddenly smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were like ripples on the water, and they exploded all at once.

"The girl is really good-looking, and the things in our store are all good in ten miles and eight villages. Look at this medicinal candy and dried longan, they are all good things. ”

Zhu Hongyu smiled slightly, she would go to Runye to ask for these things that are the same origin as medicine and food.

"I don't want anything else."

The boss hurriedly loaded Zhu Hongyu with things, and Zhu Hongyu wrapped the paper in the back basket and went home.

When I got home, I saw my uncle wielding a rice stick and sweating profusely in the yard.

"Uncle."

Zhu Jincian heard Zhu Hongyu's words and quickly stopped.

"Yo, I'm back."

"How many hits did you hit in the afternoon?"

"It's seven thousand, it's really more tiring than doing farm work."

Zhu Hongyu smiled secretly in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's okay." Let's go home and eat. I'll give you the money. ”

As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu took out sixty coins and gave it to Zhu Jinchan.

When a large stack of coins was respectfully handed to the farmer, he looked embarrassed.

"Nizi, do you really give so much? Uncle can't use so much ......"

"I'll accept the price after I negotiate with you, as long as you come back in a few days, I will give these more, and if you do more work, I will give you a raise."

"Really?" Zhu Jincian smiled embarrassedly, "That's okay, I'll go first and see what work is in the field." ”

"Okay."

When the uncle left, Zhu Hongyu took out the burden, and the mugwort leaves had turned into mugwort that was close to golden yellow, and the unique fragrance was very fascinating.

Zhu Hongyu found a new jar from home, washed it inside and out, filled the jar with freshly made mugwort and placed it in a shady place in the corner.

When she was done, Zhu Hongyu took off her clothes and came out with a new dress.

Although it is new, the elbows and cuffs are patched.

She has been busy for a long time these days, and she should be calculating how much money she has earned.

Zhu Hongyu thought, sat on the bed, opened the small cloth bag next to the pillow, and some scattered silver taels were scattered inside. The money earned today was poured out in the small cloth pocket he carried with him. A large number of coins were poured on the mat at once, and Zhu Hongyu was still a little at a loss.

That...... Then start counting the money.

Zhu Hongyu found an old jar, first threw the big money of ten wen into it, then threw the medium money of five wen into it, and finally threw the small money into it.

After such a toss, Zhu Hongyu was also stunned.

Now, with the compensation from the uncle a few days ago, she has earned seven dollars and twenty-eight silver.

She remembered that in the past, when the family was in a good year, she had a maximum of three or four taels a year, but now she has earned so much money in less than a month?

Zhu Hongyu suddenly burst with self-confidence.

He jumped out of bed at once, dug a hole under the bed, carefully put the money-making jar into it, and then filled it with earth.

When she finished cleaning up all this and lay down on the bed again, Zhu Hongyu was extremely relieved.

The house in front of me, where the dust falls on the bed every day, can be repaired, and you can even buy a house in the city.

My younger brother can read better books, and my younger sister can find a better doctor to be a master......

"Is Miss Zhu at home?"

A shout came from outside the house, waking Zhu Hongyu from her daydream.

She quickly grabbed her clothes and stood up, dragged a pair of dirty cloth shoes and walked out.

Outside the fence stood an old man in a robe, looking old.

Dead fish eyes, double chins, belly bulging like a leather ball.

Zhu Hongyu was stunned for a second, and her mind quickly rushed into the memory of this person.

When she was a child, her parents took her to meet this person and gave him gifts.

"Zhao Lizheng?"

That's right, this is the current head of Peach Blossom Village, Zhao Lizheng, who is half an official of the imperial court, whose real name is Zhao Tianyi.

"Miss Zhu, can you bother Lao Suo when you come here today?"

"Nope." Zhu Hongyu frowned at first, and then quickly smiled, "...... you are here?"

Zhao Li was looking left and right, looking at no one nearby.

Facing Zhu Hongyu, he said respectfully: "Girl, I heard that you cured the eldest lady of the Gu family a few days ago. ”

Zhu Hongyu nodded, she did this.

"Well, I have a sick man in my family, and he is from the city. The barefoot doctor in the village was treated for several months, but he did not get better. Are you available now? Take a look at it when you have time. ”

This...... Zhu Hongyu hesitated a little.

The only doctor in the village is Runye, and she treats others privately, which is to slap Runye in the face.

"It's not good, Dr. Run's medical skills are good......

"Girl, the person has had a high fever for three days and three nights, and he has convulsions in bed, just take a look!"

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, human life was still important, and she couldn't be selfish at this time to think about what Runye thought of her.

"Quick, take me to your house."

As he spoke, the old man took Zhu Hongyu all the way through half of the village and arrived at the east of the village.

Zhao Lizheng's house is very magnificent, and the lintel is towering, much higher than other houses. The vermilion gate shows wealth, and the two big red lanterns in front of the door seem to be freshly pasted.

But the two went around the gate and entered through the northwest corner gate.

Obviously, she is not a distinguished guest of the Zhao family, she is just a medicine woman for the Zhao family.

From the corner gate, I entered the second gate and arrived at the east cross courtyard. Several of the rooms here are guest houses.

Zhao Lizheng took Zhu Hongyu into one of the most magnificent rooms in their house, which was already brightly lit.

Although it was not night, the lights were on.

Walking into the door, the furnishings in the house are much simpler, and when you enter the door, there is a landscape map of the old man in front of the court hanging on the wall.

In the living room, there are two Taishi chairs and a small coffee table.

Then I went around the screen and went to the bedroom.

In this room was a simple stepping bed, and on the bed lay a pale man, obviously sweating profusely, but still with a high fever.

The person on the bed is talking nonsense about "go away" and "burn".

"Quickly take the needle bag, the needle bag for acupuncture."

"Yes, yes, yes."

This big family brings its own things for traditional Chinese medicine, and does not share a set with people outside, for fear of bringing in the sickness from outside.

Zhu Hongyu rushed to the patient's side, first opened her eyes to take a look, and then opened her mouth to look at it.

The man's skin was a little hot, and her hand pressed against the man's abdomen.

"It's malaria, you bring the recipe."

A few more maids hurriedly went to get the prescription, and the acupuncture bag had already been taken at this time.

Outsiders saw Zhu Hongyu prick a needle in the patient's mouth, and then put needles in her elbow and wrist.

Zhu Hongyu put down the needle bag, straightened the patient's head, and gently placed two needles on the middle and the tip of the nose.

"Come on, let him sit up."

The two maids beside the bed quickly helped the patient up.

Zhu Hongyu touched the man's cervical vertebrae and put a needle.

The last needle was inserted halfway, and the person woke up, and was about to move, but was stopped by Zhu Hongyu.

"Don't move, I'll heat you. Don't break it. ”

"Oh." The man responded to her, apparently sane.

Zhao Lizheng's family watched the patient wake up, and their hanging hearts relaxed.

"You sit him for three quarters of an hour, and then call me over."

"Yes." The voices of the two maids had a Suzhou-Hangzhou accent, and Zhu Hongyu felt numb when she heard this voice.

Too...... It's so sultry, is that the power of words?

"Oh, doctor, please take a seat." Zhao Li stepped forward and saluted, very polite.

Zhu Hongyu also breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and sat down with Zhao Li in the living room.

A few little girls served a plate of black sesame snacks, but they were packed on a red glazed lotus leaf porcelain plate from a private kiln, which looked a lot more expensive.

The teacup of drinking water is also a large red glaze, and the dish is a set.

Zhu Hongyu knows that this person in bed is not simple.

"What is the origin of this person, it is worth Zhao Lizheng to ask for people everywhere?"

"Hah...... It's not a secret, it's the leader of the garrison in this town, and he still has an official position, and his name is Jiang Jae-woo. ”
