Song Sanniang was even more angry when she heard this, her eyes turned on Liu Meibao and Qingya, and a sneer appeared on her mouth.

"What a light thing the girl said." She said coldly, with undisguised mockery in her eyes.

"What the girl said..."Sister-in-law Xie smiled a little embarrassedly, "Okay, let's talk about this, we are really here to discuss marriage..."

"Yes, I also said it sincerely," Liu Meibao smiled, "Look, she is still a little younger, I want to stay for a few more years, thank you so much....."

Sister-in-law Xie's smile gradually retracted, and she looked at Song Sanniang, but saw that Song Sanniang was just sneering on the side and didn't speak again.

"That's fine." She clapped her hands and copied the clothes on her body, "Discussing relatives and relatives is just discussing, since the girl is not happy, then I didn't say it as a sister-in-law." ”

After saying this, the smile on his face was a little cold, he glanced at Liu Meibao, and then at Song Sanniang, and saw that she never meant to speak, so she turned around and left.

"Uncle..." Liu Meibao turned her head and wanted to say something to Song Sanniang before she spoke, Song Sanniang sneered at her, turned around and went into the house.

The weaving sound creaked.

"Girl.." Qingya walked over timidly and grabbed Liu Meibao's sleeve, "Uncle is angry.....

This matter can't be happy for everyone, Liu Meibao smiled at her to show comfort.

"Let's go, let's go dig up the magnolia bark in the soil, we should be sweating....." She said.

Qingya nodded and followed her nervously.

In the evening, Sister-in-law Xie brought the answer that Liu Meibao wanted.

"It's not much, it's a total of 1,000 yuan a year," she said with a smile as she stood in the courtyard.

1,000 ......

Qingya's face turned white instantly, and she automatically calculated in her heart that a piece of cloth woven by Song Sanniang in seven days would only sell for ten yuan, which means that they don't eat or drink, and Song Sanniang will have to earn so much money day and night........

Song Sanniang just sneered and said nothing, looking like it was none of my business.

“… You moved here the winter before last, so it's not that fine, just now, just give a thousand integers.." Sister-in-law Xie only looked at Liu Meibao and said with a smile, while stretching out her hand.

"Okay, no problem." Liu Meibao glanced at the big pile of exposed magnolia in the corner of the wall, and nodded happily.

Seeing that she agreed, Sister-in-law Xie was a little surprised, and glanced at Song Sanniang, who still didn't say a word, just bowed her head and spun.

"Sister..."Zhou Liangyu gave Liu Meibao a look of concern.

"However, please give me a few more days." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Xie had a look on her lips that she had expected you to have no money.

"It's okay to have a grace period of a few days, and we're not afraid that you will run away, even if you run away, it's nothing...."She smiled, paused, and looked at Liu Meibao, "Can you really pay for the room?" ”

"Yes." Liu Meibao nodded and said with a smile.

Seeing that she was so determined, Sister-in-law Xie was a little suspicious, and glanced at this girl, although she heard that they fled in a hurry, but she couldn't keep that she still had valuable money on her.... A girl like them can buy a few taels of silver by taking out a piece of jewelry, a thousand dollars, it's really .....

Sister-in-law Xie was a little bored on her face.

"Well, since the girl said so, then I'll come back at the end of this month, and the villagers don't care about these days..."

"Okay, thank you very much." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Xie didn't say anything more and left.

As soon as she left, Qingya and Zhou Liangyu hurriedly came over to ask.

"Girl, where are you going to raise so much money?" Qingya's face turned pale again, even if she sold herself, there was not so much.

"Sell medicinal herbs." Liu Meibao smiled and pointed to the magnolia bark.

Zhou Liangyu and Qingya were both stunned.

"This... This.." They looked at the bark in the corner, "This is worth it..."

"Let's cut down this tree, which is enough to make fifty or sixty catties of magnolia bark." Liu Meibao couldn't hide a little smug and said.

"It's really..."Song Sanniang couldn't listen to it anymore, stood up and looked at her and smiled coldly, "It's really poor and crazy...."

"Girl, are you sure..."

Standing in front of the Qianjintang pharmacy, Qingya, who was wearing a marijuana bag of magnolia bottles, asked again.

Since that day, she has been repeating this question, Liu Meibao felt that her ears were calloused, and standing here, she was a little apprehensive in her heart.

"Can... bar.." She replied.

The guys in the shop had already seen them, and they recognized them at a glance because they were impressed last time.

"Miss Liu, are you here to sell medicine?" The guy greeted.

"Yes." Liu Meibao hurriedly answered, pulled Qingya, and the two walked in.

This time there was no one in the store to diagnose the patient, only to grab the medicine, and the guy came out from behind the counter to see the sack she had placed on the floor.

"What's this time?" He asked.

Qingya hurriedly opened the sack and presented it to him.

"Is it Magnolia?" The guy was a little surprised and glanced at Liu Meibao.

"It's done..."The doctor who had closed his eyes and recuperated also stood up, looked at it, and nodded with a little approval, "Not bad, not bad..."

Although for Liu Meibao, this is a simple medicinal material, but when she heard the ancients praise it a hundred years ago, she couldn't help but blush with excitement.

"Do you want to accept these?" She asked, with a bit of anticipation.

"Yes, of course." The guy laughed.

Qingya's heart almost jumped out, and she wanted to ask how much it was, but she only felt that her teeth were tight, and she couldn't open her mouth.

"How much?" Liu Meibao asked, and the hand hanging by her side clenched unconsciously.

The guy didn't notice the strangeness of the master and servant, and squatted on the ground with his head down to look at these magnolia skins, and said casually: "Since it is a good magnolia tube, the price is naturally higher than that of raw hides..."

Qingya looked at Liu Meibao excitedly.

"That.. How much? Liu Meibao hurriedly asked.

"Twenty wen." The man stood up and said.

This price was somewhat unexpected by Liu Meibao, of course, it was lower than expected.

"Twenty texts. A pound? She asked, hesitantly.

"A pound?" This time it was the young man's turn to be surprised, and looked at Liu Meibao, "What catty?" ”

"A pound of magnolia bark and twenty wen..."Liu Meibao felt a little bad, and her heart slowly sank.

The man paused for a moment, and then laughed, and the doctor sitting next to him also laughed, shaking his head and twisting his gray beard.

"Girl... It's not a mountain ginseng, it's just a thick skin..."Another guy at the counter laughed, "There are few such trees in the city, but there are so many in the mountains..... how can you get twenty wen a catty... It's this pack of twenty wen...."

Liu Meibao was a little embarrassed by their laughter.

"But this is a thick skin that has been wild for more than twenty years...", she couldn't help but say.

You must know that the price of this quality of thick skin in modern times can be fried to a minimum of 100 yuan a catty, although it is still not clear about the price here, but a rough estimate, a catty is at least twenty or thirty wen, calculated this time to cut a tree, do more than 50 catties can be sold for more than 1,000 wen, more than enough to pay the rent.

"Which medicinal thick skin is not more than 20 years of ....." The guy laughed.
