Chapter 20 Selling Wild Ginseng

The road has been bumpy, the road is very narrow, the potholes are uneven, and Li Lanxi's ass almost bloomed.

Fortunately, because she didn't like crowds together, she sat at the front of the ox cart, just one left and one right with Uncle Niu, but the air was fresh and she was not afraid of stuffy air.

Waiting for the ox cart to go for a while, the sky is gradually brightening, Li Lanxi can't help but feel happy, sitting in the ox cart leisurely, looking at the flowers and trees on the side of the road, it is very tasteful, staying here, it is still good, there is no chemical pollution, there is no noisy whistle, such a quiet countryside, it is very comfortable.

After walking for nearly three hours, I arrived at the gate of the town, I thought that there would be a so-called protection fee or something, but there was no such thing, even the oxen and carts could enter the town at will.

After entering the city gate, I saw that everyone got out of the car, Li Lanxi and Li Xiaohua also got out of the car, and when they saw that other people gave two cents and one penny, Li Lanxi also took out four cents and gave it to Uncle Niu.

"Girl, within two hours, I'm still here, if you go back in a while, remember to come to grandpa's car, I'll charge you two less money" Uncle Niu took the copper plate with a smile, and enthusiastically thought about pulling her on the next reverse car.

"Well, okay, I'll definitely come to your car in a while" Li Lanxi responded with a smile, she was going back anyway, and it was good to save a penny.

Li Lanxi carried the basket on his back and Li Xiaohua into the city gate, there were rows of shops inside, and there were quite a lot of people, probably because it was a market day.

Both sides of the road are lined with all kinds of stalls, and the vendors are selling to their heart's content.

"Little girl, you look at how beautiful the head flower is, come and choose one, and there are various colors of head ropes...."A young junior peddler introduced things to Li Lanxi diligently.

Li Lanxi waved her hand awkwardly, rejected the hawker's recommendation, and saw Li Xiaohua's excited expression of looking left and right, and hurriedly pulled her away, they still have business, how can they have time to look around.

Where is the pharmacy, Li Lanxi was a little confused, and saw a seller selling breakfast on the side of the road, so he walked over.

"Boss, come two bowls of somen noodles" Li Lanxi found a vacant seat, put the back basket at her feet, and sat down, Li Xiaohua, who was following behind, was a little restrained, timid, and sat cautiously next to her, like an obedient child.

Li Lanxi raised her eyebrows, this girl is very timid.

"Hey, okay, girl, you sit first, it's good right away" The proprietress greeted warmly, there was business to the door, she was happy, and her subordinates also sped up to put the noodles into the pot and seasoning, all in one go.

"Girl, do you want chili peppers" The proprietress saw that it was almost cooked, so she asked them with a smile, some people don't like to eat chili peppers, and she habitually asked every guest.

Li Lanxi nodded, "I want more, I can have more", and then turned his head and asked Li Xiaohua, "What about you, do you want chili peppers?" “。

Li Xiaohua shook her head, then nodded with a red face, and whispered back, "To.... to a little".

Li Lanxi looked at her embarrassed appearance very cute, and didn't tease her, and went back to the boss directly, "Boss, I have more chili peppers, and my niece has less."

"Yo, girl, why are your nieces about the same age as you, and you thought it was your sister" The proprietress smiled curiously and teased, she really thought it was two sisters.

Li Lanxi didn't feel embarrassed, and smiled generously, "My mother gave birth to me late, hehe."

The proprietress was afraid that the girl would be thin-skinned, so she hurriedly took the noodles over and diverted the topic, "Hey, your mother is really convinced, come, the noodles are ready, the girl wants to add pickles and seasonings, remember to shout, I'll add it to you."

Li Lanxi nodded in response.

"Boss, a bowl of chaos"

"Hey, here, you sit, there's a place here"

Another guest came, and the hostess hurriedly went to greet him again.

Two bowls of hot somen noodles, there is quite a lot of oil, and some pickles and green onions are sprinkled on it, which smells fragrant, and Li Lanxi urged Li Xiaohua to eat it quickly.

The noodles are very firm and very refreshing to eat. Slippery, the pickles taste good, sour and spicy, go back and ask your mother if she will do it.

The two of them finished eating after a while, and Li Xiaohua's bowl of soup was drunk, and she couldn't help but burp and blush.

Li Lanxi thinks that Li Xiaohua's skin is too thin, what are you afraid of burping, just fart, we don't blush.

"Boss, how much is it after eating?" asked Li Lanxi.

The proprietress fished the noodles in her hand, and replied with a smile, "Six cents, have the two girls eaten enough, and there is no aunt to add some more to you."

"I'm full, I'm full, I don't need to add it" Li Lanxi hurriedly refused, counted six copper plates from his arms and handed them over, and asked again, "Boss, do you know where the pharmacy near here is."

The proprietress stopped what she was doing and asked suspiciously, "Pharmacy?" Are you going to see a doctor?"

"No, I'll just see where there is a pharmacy, and my family picked some herbs and wanted to sell them for some money."

The proprietress came to her senses, lowered her voice and said, "You will go forward in a while, and then turn left a street, you can see the pharmacy, remember to go to Renhetang, remember, the name is Renhetang, don't go wrong, don't go to the first one, it's easy to trick people."

Li Lanxi didn't expect this to happen, and nodded gratefully, "Thank you, boss, I remember."

The two walked all the way and turned a corner according to the route of the proprietress , but there were many fewer people on this street, just a short distance away, which was completely different from the lively scene in front.

Walked to the door of a pharmacy, the façade is very large, quite magnificent, look up, Jin Yutang! This name is quite brilliant, it turned out to be a pharmacy? The jewelry store is almost the same, looking at the situation inside, I saw a few people seeing a doctor, and they were more particular about dressing, thinking that it was a place for rich people to see a doctor.

Remembering what the proprietress said, they continued to walk forward for a short while, and the two came to Renhetang.

The façade of this house is much smaller, and it looks relatively old, with a white-bearded old doctor in it who is taking a pulse, and an errand boy on the side is grabbing medicine.

Li Lanxi took a deep breath and walked in first, Li Xiaohua was stunned, feeling that the old aunt was really bold, the first time she came to this kind of place, she didn't have stage fright, and she admired the old girl a little bit in her heart.

Seeing someone coming in, the little brother hurriedly walked out of the counter and asked, "Little sister, are you going to see a doctor or take medicine?" ”。

"Little brother, I don't see a doctor, my family picked some herbs, I want to ask you if you accept them here", Li Lanxi hurriedly expressed his intention.

"Herbs, I did collect them, but you have to bring them to me first, so that I can give you an estimate, the price of the finished product is different from the concocted one."

Li Lanxi put down the basket and took out the things, but Mrs. Yao was afraid that the things would be damaged, so she put a piece of cloth on the outside of the wild ginseng.

"Dog, you go to grab the medicine for this aunt first, bring the herbs, and I'll collect it"

After seeing the last patient, the doctor prescribed the prescription, handed the prescription to the dog who was responsible for catching the medicine, and took the initiative to collect the herbs.

Li Lanxi thought that this little brother's name was quite funny, dog, but the countrymen named it like this, and she didn't show the slightest ridicule.

The dog hurriedly handed the wild ginseng to the doctor, took the prescription, and led the woman to grab the medicine.

"Doctor, look, do you accept it?" Li Lanxi moved over.

"My surname is Yuan...."

Li Lanxi was stunned, eh, what she wanted to ask was not this, but since the doctor said so, she must be polite, "Doctor Yuan, look ........"

Doctor Yuan took a look at the wild ginseng, put it on the table, and touched his beard, "I received it, but it was not concocted, and the price would be less."

Li Lanxi nodded, just accept it, "I know, Doctor Yuan, how much do you think you will receive?" ”。

Doctor Yuan took a look at the fat girl in front of him, which was quite interesting, ordinary girls are more restrained when they go out, but this girl is not afraid of life.

"Three taels of silver, what do you think" Dr. Yuan said the price, in fact, the price he said was a bit low, three taels or five hundred wen is still worth it, but the business in the store is not good, and the consumption is not large, so he said a little less, anyway, the other party does not sell, and he has nothing to do.

Li Lanxi didn't think about it, so he agreed, "Okay, just this price."

It's not that she doesn't want to ask for more money, she observed Dr. Yuan's face, and thought that this thing was about the same price, which was different from ginseng, the price was different, and she was already very satisfied with the price.

Li Xiaohua was surprised when she heard it, this thing can be sold for three taels of silver, it is so valuable, and she was happy in her heart, my aunt is really amazing.
