At the dinner table, the three of them discussed.

"No." Song Sanniang pondered for a moment and said.

"Then what if you really want my sister to take medicine?" Zhou Liangyu held the chopsticks and thought for a while and said, "My sister doesn't accept money, why are people embarrassed to come?" ”

"That's it." Liu Meibao slapped the table and said, "Look at the price of medicine, if the price is low, you won't accept it, I think that ordinary people use ordinary medicines, and they won't be very expensive, so everyone won't come again after a few times." ”

Song Sanniang and Zhou Liangyu both nodded, this matter was settled, and the family continued to eat, during which Zhou Liangyu said some interesting news and anecdotes that he heard outside, saying that there was a lot of disasters in the past, and the price of food was going to rise again, this news was not an interesting anecdote, in short, all the information revealed that this world was not peaceful, Liu Meibao couldn't help biting chopsticks, rather than a peaceful dog than a troubled world, what kind of era is she in.

Song Sanniang knocked down the table with chopsticks and reminded Liu Meibao to pay attention to her manners.

Liu Meibao put down her chopsticks and threw away this idea for the time being, no matter what kind of world she is now, she is here, she can only find a way to make her life better, and after two mouthfuls of rice, what do you think.

"My brother can't always collect firewood like this." Her eyes sparkled and she said, "Let's buy some fields to plant." ”

Song Sanniang and Zhou Liangyu looked at her.

"That's right." The more Liu Meibao thought about it, the more feasible she felt, not that the ancient landlords and old fortunes bought houses and land when they had money.

"How much is an acre of land now?" She asked.

Zhou Liangyu hesitated for a moment and replied: "A good acre of fertile land costs one or two silver..."

Listening to his answer, it can be seen that he has also inquired.

The ancestors of the Zhou family gradually prospered by buying land and buying real estate, but in this generation, they ruined the foundation and wanted to reorganize the family business.

Compare the current prices. This is not too expensive, and you can buy more or less silver on hand, Liu Meibao is very happy.

"Auntie, shall we buy it?" She looked at Song Sanniang and said, she handed over the twenty taels of silver she earned to Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head.

"There is something else to do with this money." She said.

"You can make more money." Liu Meibao tried to convince her.

"Let's talk about it when we earn it again." Song Sanniang was unmoved and refused.

"It's okay if you don't buy it, now the land tax is very high, and we have no reputation and are not officials. Without tax reductions and exemptions, those who can afford to buy land may not be able to afford to pay taxes," Zhou Liangyu said busily, reassuring Liu Meibao.

There is also this saying, Liu Meibao sighed. After asking a few words carefully, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue in fright by Tian Shui.

It is no wonder that the peasant uprisings in ancient times were all under the banner of not paying taxes on the fields.

"Then I'll buy it when I make more money." She nodded and said happily.

She didn't know anything about the ancient living environment and social rules after all. She doesn't think that relying on modern knowledge, she can call for wind and rain here, smooth sailing, and omnipotent, since they all say not to buy, there is always a reason not to buy.

Now these twenty taels of silver are their biggest family wealth. It's true that you can't throw it all out and spend it.

Song Sanniang looked at her and smiled, this was the first time Liu Meibao had seen her smile. I couldn't help but look surprised.

"What is my aunt laughing at? Are you laughing at me and boasting? She asked with a grin.

"Do you have an idea, or is it a gust of wind and rain?" Song Sanniang smiled, slowly ate a mouthful of food and said, "What we say is what?" Why don't you fight? ”

This is still an allusion to the matter of Qingya at the beginning, Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was slightly dull.

"Eat it, it's going to be cold." Zhou Liangyu hurriedly greeted the round, and the matter was revealed and not mentioned again.

Then, as they expected, one after another, people from the neighborhood came to ask for medicine, most of them said that they took the medicine from Song Lang's Chinese medicine shop. Some of them were taken from Dr. You Fang, and Liu Meibao helped them see them one by one, but they all refused to accept the money. People who came heard that they had to make a fuss if they didn't charge money, but Liu Meibao just said that this was the rule of medicine appreciation. didn't move at all, everyone had no choice but to leave in a huff, and after a few days, no one came to the door again.

"Haven't you had a good time with Dr. Song's pharmacy these days?" Liu Meibao said with a smile while pouring tea for Song Langzhong.

Due to the cold weather, Song Sanniang stayed up late and was weak and contracted the cold, so she invited Song Langzhong to come for diagnosis and treatment, and talked about this matter.

"Not really." Song Langzhong shook his head and smiled a little helplessly, "Miss Liu, your hand has reminded everyone, everyone didn't know that the medicine was fake..."

The county seat is very small, and coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the old bustard in the garden, Liu Meibao's fake medicine quickly spread.

In this paragraph, all the pharmacists in Song Lang who come to grab the medicine will inadvertently ask, are you true that this is medicine, and they can't cry or laugh.

Liu Meibao smiled and apologized to Song Langzhong again and again.

"Don't dare, Miss Liu, this is for the benefit of doctors and patients, where do you dare to apologize." Song Langzhong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The girl should be identified, don't worry about the old man." ”

Liu Meibao smiled and told their family's speculation about these door-to-door medicine examiners.

Song Langzhong was slightly surprised when he heard this, and muttered for a moment.

"What? Did I guess wrong? Liu Meibao saw that he was puzzled and hurriedly asked.

"It's not true." Song Langzhong smiled again and twisted his beard, "It's just that so many people are like this... It's just someone else, that Cao Da..."

That Cao Da is a scoundrel and stingy, why did he suddenly change his sex, and he was so generous.....

Maybe people's hearts are good, Song Langzhong thought to himself.

Liu Meibao also knew this, it was impossible for those who were appreciative of medicine to be so thoughtful, so she smiled and nodded.

"That's fine, what everyone brought is not a valuable medicine, it is not worth much, besides, with Song Langzhong's palm, it will not be fake, everyone is not at ease for the time being, and it will be fine after this paragraph." She said.

"Lord Liu is loyal and martyred." Song Langzhong sighed softly, and looked at Song Sanniang's house again, "Master Zhou Gaoyi, our little people are in mind, and we can only remember it in our hearts, and the others can't help anything..."

Both of them were convicted by the imperial court, and when Song Langzhong said such a thing, Liu Meibao hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to silence.

Song Langzhong also knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said a few words before leaving, Zhou Liangyu personally sent him away, and also grabbed the medicine and came back by the way.

After closing the door, Liu Meibao entered the house, and Song Sanniang was lying with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Her face was pale, her eyes were deep blue, Liu Meibao couldn't help sighing, this is because she stayed up all night for a long time, and the food was not oily, and the nutrition could not keep up, she also proposed to buy some meat at least every few days to eat, but because of the increasingly high and outrageous meat prices, Song Sanniang refused.

still has no money, if there is a surplus of money in their hands, what is it to eat a meal of meat, presumably they couldn't live without good food and meat before.

Liu Meibao sighed, Wang Liuqi was gone, if it weren't for the twenty taels of silver really placed here, she would have thought that this incident had never happened.

Twenty taels of silver temporarily relieved the pressure of their lives, but what next? If you can't keep the water flowing for a long time, there is still no guarantee for this day.

Liu Meibao couldn't wait to simply ring the bell and go around to the medicine store to shout and sell herself, of course, she could only think about it.

Pouring the hot chicken soup into the bowl, Liu Meibao hurriedly pinched her ears with her hot fingers, let it dry for a while, felt that the temperature was okay, and picked it up and pushed open the door of Song Sanniang's house.

The sound of weaving stops.

"Who told you to pay for this." Song Sanniang stopped weaving, looked at the soup bowl brought in by Liu Meibao, and said with a heavy face.

Liu Meibao and Zhou Liangyu repeatedly asked her not to weave cloth at night.

"It is said that it is more weaving cloth to make money, and this illness has cost hundreds of dollars before and after, and I have lost several pieces of cloth money." Liu Meibao wrenched her fingers and calculated an account for her.

Song Sanniang didn't stay up late weaving, but she worked more during the day, and when she got better, the medicine stopped, but she saw Liu Meibao bring in a bowl of chicken soup.

"And ginseng!" Song Sanniang sniffed and saw a few thin branches floating inside, after all, she came from a big family, and she was also a ginseng chicken tonton, this taste is naturally familiar, and she suddenly became more anxious, and she got up to touch the silver she had hidden.

"It's not ginseng, it's just codonopsis, my brother dug it from the mountains, and I didn't want to sell it, although it is not as good as ginseng supplementation, but it is also a good match." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Song Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then it's time to sell, I'm all right, it's enough to eat with chicken soup." She said, taking the bowl and drinking slowly.

Codonopsis was actually sold, but the money from the sale was exchanged for a few ginseng whiskers, Song Sanniang could smell the smell of ginseng, but she could not necessarily distinguish between Codonopsis and ginseng, Liu Meibao saw that she had deceived her, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

After eating chicken soup, Song Sanniang began to weave again.

Liu Meibao once studied this weaving curiously, it looks very fun, but it is actually very tiring, and it must have back pain and leg cramps when sitting down one day.

"I still have to rest more, this weaving cloth is also strangely tiring." She said, looking at Song Sanniang's face that was still weak.

Song Sanniang glanced at her.

"Tired? What are you not tired of, living is tired..."She said, her shuttle shuttling back and forth quickly.

According to the previous sentence, it was easy to die, but now this sentence swirled in her throat, and she swallowed it back, and she only lowered her head and lowered her gaze to weave.

The villagers who appraised the medicine also did not come, and the days returned to calm, and there was no expected large amount of business to come to the door, Liu Meibao was a little disappointed.

Maybe that Wang Liuqi didn't publicize this matter at all, Xie County is a small place and there is no medicine store, Hezhong Mansion should not be Wang Liuqi's medicine store, although he has not been to Fucheng, but Fucheng is definitely more prosperous than the county seat, more or less someone should come to test and ask, and with Wang Liuqi buying fake medicine, other medicine stores have to be more or less vigilant.

It would be nice if she could go out casually, Liu Meibao sighed, feeling very inconvenient for her status as a woman. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
