Chapter 8: Encounters Again

The owner of Yong'an Hall is surnamed Cai, called Cai Yongfu, the family has been practicing medicine for generations, and has been living in the town, Ning Yi has had several contacts with him, so they are quite familiar with each other.

After a few words of greeting, Ning Yi handed the list he had prepared at home to Cai Yongfu, "Brother Cai, I came here for these things this time, and I asked Brother Cai to help." ”

After taking the list, Cai Yongfu read it first, then handed it to the work next to him, asked him to go down to prepare, and then said with a smile, "Brother Ning, don't worry, I use these things in this medical hall, although there are not many, but I can also give you some, speaking of which, you should have brought something with you this time, right?" ”

Cai Yongfu has studied medicine with his family since he was a child, and his biggest advantage is his nose, as long as it is a medicinal material, even if he has his eyes closed, he can distinguish it.

"Brother Cai's sense of smell is really worthy of its reputation, it's not a secret, I brought two ginseng sticks this time, both of them are fresh, my niece went up the mountain yesterday to find them, it just so happened that I was coming to town, so I brought them over to Brother Cai to see, I don't know if Brother Cai needs it?" took out the cloth bag wrapped in ginseng from his arms and handed it to Cai Yongfu, Ning Yi smiled and spoke, just waiting for Cai Yongfu's answer.

As soon as she heard about her ginseng, Yun Zhu immediately became energetic, she fell on Cai Yongfu's body, with a slight hint of nervousness on her face, she was worried that the other party didn't want her own things.

Shu Sirui, who was outside the house, saw everything in the house clearly through the gap in the door curtain, he was a martial arts practitioner, although he was injured, it did not hinder his vision, he could see the cloth bag opened in Cai Yongfu's hand, and he could also see Yunzhu's nervous expression at that moment.

Turning to leave, Shu Sirui returned to his previous room, and gave an order to one of his attendants, who took the order, saluted Shu Sirui, and left the house.

"The age of this ginseng is not long, but it is better than the complete appearance, to be honest, I am not short of ginseng, but since it was sent by Brother Ning, I accepted it, what is the price......" Cai Yongfu looked at the ginseng in his hand, and before he finished speaking, he heard a light cough outside the house, he could hear the voice of the entourage in the room over there, so he confessed to Ning Yi, and then put the ginseng on the table first, got up and walked out of the room.

"Uncle Ning......" Seeing the owner go out, Yunzhu opened her mouth with some concern, she could hear that the owner's words just now were to reduce the price of ginseng.

"Don't worry, if the price isn't right, let's just change it." Smiling and speaking, Ning Yi comforted Yun Zhu, according to what he thought, even if he was lowering the price, it must not be less than forty taels of silver.

"Hmm." Hearing Ning Yi say this, Yunzhu nodded, and his heart settled down a lot.

Cai Yongfu, who left, naturally didn't know about the conversation in the house, and after he left the house, he followed his entourage to the room where Shu Sirui was, "Childe, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Although Cai Yongfu didn't know what the identity of the man in black in front of him was, he could guess from the momentum and clothing of this person that he was not a person to be messed with, so his attitude towards Shu Sirui was always very respectful.

"Take the ginseng and give her a hundred taels of silver." Shu Sirui opened his mouth lightly, and the entourage on the side took out two ingots of silver and handed them to Cai Yongfu.

"This ...... Childe, although the two ginseng plants are in good condition, but after all, the years are not very long, if you really count it, it is a lot to give forty-five taels of silver, I originally planned to take forty taels, your one hundred taels is too much, not worth it! If you want ginseng, I've got a few of them! Looking at the silver ingot in front of him, Cai Yongfu opened his mouth to persuade, Shu Sirui didn't speak, just looked at him with those dark eyes.

"I'll do it." Although there was no trace of expression on the face of the son in front of him, Cai Yongfu inexplicably felt a sense of oppression, he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly took the silver from his entourage, turned around and walked out of the house.

Returning to Ning Yi and the house where they were, Cai Yongfu shook the silver in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, it was the first time he had met such a person, but it was a pity that he didn't buy his own things, so why should he say more?

Thinking like this, Cai Yongfu took the silver and entered the house, and the expression on his face changed from a sigh just now to a smile, "Brother Ning, your niece is really a blessing!" ”

Hearing Cai Yongfu say this, Ning Yi and the others showed surprise on their faces, Yun Zhu looked at the silver in Cai Yongfu's hand, and estimated in his heart how much it would be?

"I have a patient here, and I want the fresh ginseng that I just picked from the mountain, but it just so happened that you sent two plants, and they were willing to buy them for a hundred taels of silver, do you think this is a good thing that fell from the sky?" Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Cai Yongfu smiled and explained.

"One hundred taels?" Ning Yi's face showed surprise, he glanced at Cai Yongfu's hand, although he estimated that the silver in his hand could be a hundred taels, but he didn't believe that someone would spend such a high price, you must know that this one hundred taels is really not a small amount! "Brother Cai, aren't you kidding?"

"Look at the two ingots of silver in my hand, they are the money given by others, and it is rare for someone to need fresh ginseng for medicine, you are considered lucky!" Handing the silver to Ning Yi's hand, Cai Yongfu carefully wrapped the ginseng on the table, Yunzhu looked at the silver in Ning Yi's hand, although he was happy, but he was very uneasy in his heart.

"Uncle Cai, although I don't understand the value of this medicinal material, I also know the value of this ginseng from Uncle Ning, dare to ask if the person who bought the ginseng is still there? Can you please help me return a piece of silver? ”

"Why did you go back?" Looking at Yunzhu, Cai Yongfu opened his mouth and asked, in his opinion, this is a matter of being willing to fight and suffering, since people are willing to buy it at a high price, then sell it, why do they have to return the silver in hand?

"Yunzhu also has a sick person in his family, and he knows that it takes a lot of money to treat his family, although he doesn't know who buys ginseng, but even if this ginseng is given fifty taels of silver, it is too much, how can he charge one hundred taels from others?" Glancing at Ning Yi, Yun Zhu saw the appreciation in his eyes, she took two steps forward, took the ingot of silver from Ning Yi's hand, and although she was reluctant in her heart, she still handed it to Cai Yongfu's hand.

"You girl, you are a good girl who is sensible, in this case, I will ask the opinion of the person who bought the medicine, after all, the silver belongs to others." Looking at the silver in his hand, Cai Yongfu went out of the house again, Yun Zhu originally wanted to go out with him to have a look, but finally gave up.

It's just a meeting in Pingshui, why do you bother to get to the bottom of it?

Seeing Cai Yongfu come out of the house, Ning Yi looked at Yun Zhu, who was sitting on the chair again, and said with a smile, "One hundred taels of silver is enough to build a house in our village, and you just return half of it, won't you be reluctant?" ”

"To be honest, I really can't bear it, but this money is really unexpected, so I don't feel sure, rather than this, it is better to accept the equivalent silver and return the excess, in this way, I will not feel awkward." Yun Zhu was a little embarrassed to speak, although she said that to Cai Yongfu just now, but in her heart she felt that there was no free lunch in the world, and now that Ning Yi asked, she also said what she had in her heart.

"You're right." Nodding, Ning Yi also felt that it was a bit unpractical to collect such money, and now that Yunzhu did this, he naturally agreed. "It's not easy for you to think so much at such a young age."

"Uncle Ning, I still want to discuss something with you." Scratching his head, Yun Zhu looked at Ning Yi and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Yunzhu like this, Ning Yi was a little curious.

"Originally, we sold ginseng to Cai Dongjia, but now this ginseng is sold to others through him, or is it a few taels higher than the price you estimated, I wondered, should I give Cai Dongjia some intermediate fees, which can be regarded as thanking him for his help, if you want to give, how much should this money give?" After listening to Yunzhu, Ning Yi's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect that Yunzhu at a young age could think of so much, what happened just now had already surprised him, and now her words simply shocked him, this girl is only eight years old!

Seeing Ning Yi glaring at him, Yun Zhu blinked, feeling a little regretful in his heart, did he act too much like a child? "My mother always said that if you receive the grace of dripping water, you will be reciprocated by a spring, I am thinking that without Cai Dong's family, this ginseng can't be sold so much, and I have nothing to give Cai Dong's family to repay the kindness, so I want to give some money to repay this kindness, of course, Uncle Ning also wants to be grateful for helping me!"

Before the words were finished, Yun Zhu lowered her head impressively, hearing her say this, Ning Yi nodded clearly, it turned out that there was a teaching from the elders, which is not surprising.

"Since you want to thank you, then give one or two pieces of silver, it's a lot, as for me, you don't need to thank you, it's all from a village, and it's normal for me to help you." While speaking, Ning Yi took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to Yun Zhu, who naturally thanked him again, put the silver into a small purse he carried with him, and was relieved that he had passed the test.

Shu Sirui in the other room looked at the ginseng and silver in front of him, his face showed surprise, although he didn't know what the situation of the girl who saved him was in the family, but he could guess that it was not very good, he thought that she would accept it happily, but he didn't want the silver to be returned.

"I see." Signaling his entourage to accept the silver and ginseng, Shu Sirui didn't say anything more, seeing him like this, Cai Yongfu had no choice but to retreat and return to the room where Ning Yi and the others were.

"The money was taken back, and the ginseng was taken away." Sitting back in his chair, Cai Yongfu looked at Yunzhu and said with a smile.

After hearing Cai Yongfu's words, Yun Zhu stepped forward with a smile, blessed him, and then handed a small purse to Cai Yongfu's hand, "Thank you Uncle Cai for your help, if it weren't for you, my ginseng wouldn't be sold for fifty taels, this is a little heart, and please don't dislike Uncle Cai." ”
