This shop is not big, and there are a few mountain goods scattered on the shelves against the wall, none other than ginseng, deer antler, bellflower, gastrodia, schisandra, fritillary, Ganoderma lucidum, eleutherococcus senticosus, parsnip and so on.

Yugo went close to the shelf to see, and saw that the ginseng was no more than the ginseng under the forest, the reed head was long, and the pearl pimples were obvious, which was not bad, but it was not wild ginseng, let alone a thousand years.

The golden toad accompanied Ba Yi to sit in front of a big eight immortal table, and he didn't talk nonsense, he bluntly talked about this transaction, and said the price of the thousand-year-old ginseng he treasured: "The old rule is that the price of a weight of one or two is more than double, and the price of a pound is ten times, and there is no price for adult-shaped people, and my seedling is not a thousand years but also hundreds of years, so this number is indispensable." ”

Pure goods, the common name of wild ginseng, and the understory ginseng on the shelf is called seed goods, and the full mountain ginseng is called party goods.

He continued: "Since the honorable guest purchased this artifact to give it to Aunt Su next to the Empress Dowager, it just so happens that my seedling is a fairy to worship her birthday, which is very suitable." ”

Ba Yi first smiled and nodded, and then shook his head with a stiff face: "It's too expensive." ”

The golden toad smiled: "Our Mengjiang ginseng gang has rules, in April into the mountain to put the sprouts in the grass market, over the white dew buckle scales, there was no suitable old customer at that time, so I put this Miao ginseng aside, but also really reluctant to make a move, it is not easy to grow into a human form, not to mention the fairy to worship the birthday, so it must not be less than this number." ”

Yugo understands medicinal materials, but does not understand these local professional terms, and when he heard it, he saw that the golden toad gestured to an eight.

Ba Yi looked at his gesture: "Eight hundred? ”

The golden toad sneered: "Eight hundred is just the price of seeds, it is eight thousand." ”

Eight thousand taels?

Yugo looked at Ba Yi in astonishment, he didn't see him carrying silver taels when he came, and then he understood that he might be carrying a silver ticket.

Ba Yi was calm, as if the sky-high price of eight thousand taels was just a piece of cake for him, and he bowed slightly: "Then ask Boss Jin to invite the baby out and let me see the fairy face." ”

The golden toad didn't move, he still had a certain degree of wariness towards Ba Yi, and said with a slight smile: "Zunjia is a big man from Beijing, and he doesn't understand the rules of our Mengjiang, since he is a fairy face, how dare he blaspheme if he is not very sincere." ”

Ba Yi knew in his heart, the so-called very sincerity, that is, he wanted to see the silver first, but he didn't bring a single eldest son with him, let alone eight thousand taels, so he looked at Yugo: "What about the silver?" ”

Tamago was stupid: "Silver? ”

Ba Yi's face sank.

Yugo immediately sobered up with his seriousness, and hurriedly pointed outside and said, "You said that the silver for buying ginseng was put on the back of the horse, you wait, I'll go get it." ”

Ba Yi was visibly pleased with her reaction.

Yugo went out of the door of the shop and stood at the door for a while, and said that last time you asked me to be a bait to lure the murderer out, this time you threw such a big problem to me, even if it is fake, how can you trade with the other party without silver, and now where can I find you eight thousand taels, I don't have eight taels on my body, squatting at the door with a puff, and it is colder at night, this is the climate characteristics of the Mengjiang River, the temperature difference between morning and evening and noon is very large, the north wind is blowing, and it is like a knife cut on the face.

There was no silver, and Yu Wei wondered if he should use the excuse to go to the toilet to delay the time, and at this time, Ba Yi inside shouted: "Stupid slave, I want you to come in with the silver!" ”

Tamago looked at the sky in despair...... Suddenly, her eyes lit up, it turned out that she saw that this shop was still a two-story building, and she didn't pay attention to the black light when she came, she wondered, Ba Yi obviously didn't bring silver, why did he come out to get the silver by himself? If he was really so stupid, Kangxi would not give him such a big Saibei, he was like an emperor in Saibei, and he must have an ability that others can't reach.

Tamago then thought, then what is the purpose of him to come out and get the silver himself? A bold guess, should he come out to find evidence of the Golden Toad's guilt?

That's it, Yu Dai stood up, thinking about such a precious thousand-year-old ginseng, the golden toad would never be placed in the open eye, on the second floor, or the master's residence, or the secret room where the treasure was hidden.

Yugo stepped around to see where there were stairs, but after looking for a long time, don't say stairs, there is not even a ladder, how to go up to the second floor? Only climbed.

She saw that there was a big tree next to the small building, the branches and leaves of this solar term were bare, and she didn't know what kind of tree it was, but the branches were horizontal, just suitable for climbing.

She thanked her father, and acquiesced to her playing ice juju with one eye and one eye, although the court did not prohibit juju, but the nobles of the clan liked ice frolic and riding archery and wrestling more, of course, women were more keen to watch plays, and juju was almost forgotten, but there are still many people in the capital who like to play ice juju in winter, and Yugo played fiercely with his cousins when he was a child, so his body is still very light.

She carefully stepped on the branches of the tree and climbed up little by little, one did not pay attention, stabbed! The cotton robe scratched a hole in the branch, and then, with the back of her hand scratched, she climbed to the horizontal branch, and went up tremblingly, and saw that it was only three feet away from the terrace on the second floor, and she mustered up the courage to jump over.

Success, she stood on the terrace by the downstairs light vaguely saw that there were doors and windows next to it, walked over, first listened to it, there was no movement inside, she pushed the door in, dark and dark can not see anything clearly, she stood in place for a while, wait for her eyes to adapt to the darkness, first look for oil lamps for lighting, lanterns, etc., coincidentally there is a lamp shelf in the middle of the room, there is an oil lamp on it, and there is a fire fold, she lit the oil lamp, at a glance saw along the east side of the Bogu shelf, on which are not jewelry and jade, but one after another jar.

What is this?

She was curious to open the past to see, just from the taste has been clear, these are ginseng, instantly remembered some methods of folk storage of ginseng, among which the altar seal is one of them, she was immediately overjoyed, knowing that these ginseng are the best, she chose a big jar, hugged downstairs, more eyes, hid the jar at the corner of the stairs, and then came to the first floor, and also entered the sight of the golden toad.

The golden toad was stunned, and then was shocked: "You? How did you get out of here? ”

Tamago was so tired that he panted: "I said, do you believe me when I say sleepwalking?" ”

The golden toad was annoyed and ashamed: "Don't fight me with this bells and whistles, where did you go upstairs?" Where did you go upstairs? ”

He rushed over and grabbed Tamago and asked.

Ba Yi had already blocked in front of Yu Dai before him, and smiled faintly: "Golden Toad, someone has secretly reported that you are buying and selling ginseng and other medicinal materials without permission, evading taxes and not paying, and ignoring the law, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”

The golden toad immediately understood that this old guest from Beijing City was actually from the government, and his heart was pounding, and his face was still very calm: "Who are you?" Saying that I buy and sell ginseng and other medicinal materials without permission, what about the credentials? ”

Yes, he didn't take out the so-called thousand-year-old ginseng at all.

Ba Yi looked at Yugo.

Tamago turned back and took out the big jar from the corner of the stairs.
