Chapter 23: I Want to Beg Somewhere Else!
At this time, the housekeeper immediately said, "Girl, don't be deceived by her, you see that she has sound limbs, what if she enters the city and never goes back?"
At that time, her family came to ask us for someone, and we couldn't hand it over. ”
The housekeeper felt that more things were better than less, and subconsciously protected his aunt, not wanting her to suffer any grievances.
"No, that's my brother and sister."
Tao Xi sighed silently, and she also pointed to the male protagonist's family to get points.
How could you be willing to leave!
"Uncle Chen, I believe in her."
Ouyang smiled softly at Tao Xi, and said to the housekeeper, "You send her into the city." ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Tao Xi's face was full of gratitude, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously, after all, there were so many people in this Taomu Village, if everyone wanted to enter the city, he was afraid that Ouyang would not be able to help if he wanted to.
Steward Ouyang sent her into the city, and told her with a tiger face, "You have to come back quickly, you won't be able to get out if you close the city gate." ”
Don't bother his girl to be complained by the city gate guards.
"I see, thank you."
Tao Xi hurriedly thanked her, and then entered the city with excitement on her face, but when she saw the situation in the city clearly, it was as if she had been poured a basin of cold water.
The situation in the city is not good, many shops are closed, and few people walk around the streets.
Occasionally, someone walks around, but it's also in a hurry, and no one talks to anyone, and they are trying their best to survive.
Tao Xi casually stopped an eldest lady, "Auntie, do you know where the medicine hall is?" ”
"I don't know."
The eldest lady didn't even look at Tao Xi, shook her head and turned around to leave, Tao Xi couldn't help but be annoyed, she should have asked Butler Ouyang when she came in.
But if she wants to buy medicine, she doesn't have any money, Tao Xi opened the electronic screen while walking, and searched for gold.
If she's not mistaken, she has earned a lot of points before, and the male protagonist alone has ten points.
Looking at the balance, sure enough, there were eighty-two points.
And a small piece of gold, it is twenty points, Tao Xi was a little heartbroken, but thinking of the next journey, he still reluctantly bought the gold.
With the gold, Tao Xi was more confident, and asked someone casually, and finally asked the location of the medicine hall.
When Tao Xi found the medicine hall, he found that the medicine hall was deserted, there were no people, there was only one shopkeeper, and there was not even Xiao Er.
Tao Xi stepped in, and before he could speak, the shopkeeper opened his mouth like a fly.
"Go, go, I can't open this medicine hall, I have to beg to go elsewhere."
Taoxi: ......
She glanced at her coarse linen clothes, and she was in a mess, no wonder others thought she was a beggar.
But she wasn't annoyed, but asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, do you have any silver needles for healing?" ”
"Nope!"
The shopkeeper's tone was a little impatient, looking at Tao Xi's appearance, it didn't look like he could afford the price.
Tao Xi's eyes were slightly cold, and he put the gold in his hand and threw it away, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy something and grab some medicine by the way." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The shopkeeper immediately showed a smile and turned to enter the counter, "The silver needle that the guest officer said, I just have a set here, which was used by the doctor who sat in the hall before."
This world is difficult, he gave me the silver needle, guest officer, take a look? ”
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from the cabinet, and in the cloth bag was a set of silver needles, although it was not as delicate as Tao Xi's modern times, it was not bad.
Her grandfather in her previous life was a Chinese medicine practitioner, and she filled in the Chinese medicine major in college, although she has not yet formally interned, but she has also learned a lot with her grandfather during the annual holidays.
She rubbed her fingertips against the silver needle and said, "I want it, bring another pen and paper, and I'll open a prescription." ”
"Howler!"
The shopkeeper happily took out a brush and some rough paper, and Tao Xi's eyebrows were frowned.
She... The writing of the brush is a little ugly, so I can only change my words: "Forget it, I will remember you, six grams of baicao frost ......"
The shopkeeper wrote down the prescription, and hurriedly grabbed the medicine for Tao Xi, and after he finished catching it, he fiddled with the abacus and said:
"Guest officer, this silver needle was made by a famous craftsman for the doctor sitting in the hall, it is worth ten taels of silver, and this medicine totals five taels, a total of fifteen taels of silver, and you have to cut half of this gold for me."
This piece of gold is not big, but it is not so worthless, Tao Xi's face sank instantly.
"I don't understand the market because of the shopkeeper's bullying?"
Though...... However, she really doesn't understand prices.
But looking at the shopkeeper's calculating appearance, it seems that he wants to take advantage of her.
"No..., that's not wrong."
The shopkeeper's sad face, "Girl, this world is difficult now, business is not good, everyone is pointing to the silver to live." ”
"Forget it, I'll go ask somebody else."
Tao Xi put down the silver needle, picked up the gold and left, the shopkeeper immediately panicked, and hurriedly stopped her, "Don't, girl, don't go."
I'll recalculate it for you, three taels of silver needles and two taels of medicine, a total of four taels. ”
"The shopkeeper, everyone uses copper plates."
Tao Xi twitched, although there were few people on the street, she saw others buying grain, even if the price of food skyrocketed, but with the usual copper coins.
"Girl, you are really amazing, I won't say more to you, I didn't take advantage of you with three taels of silver needles, I played two taels of silver needles at the time.
There are also medicinal herbs, now use some less, no stock, count you one or two! ”
The shopkeeper gave a fair price, and now everyone in this world is struggling to survive.
He saw that Tao Xi spoke with a foreign accent, so he thought that the price would be high, but Tao Xi was not fooled.
Seeing him frowning and worried, Tao Xi knew that this was probably the reserve price, and said happily:
"Okay!"
As she spoke, she picked up the dagger on the shopkeeper's table, gently cut a little gold, and gave it to the shopkeeper.
"Now, you weigh it."
"It's a little more, I'm looking for you consistently."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to fool Tao Xi anymore at this time, and happily looked for the silver, but Tao Xi looked at the medicine bag in his hand but frowned.
It was too conspicuous to take it back to boil the medicine, and she asked again, "Do you have the tools to grind the medicine?" ”
"Yes, in the backyard!"
The shopkeeper took Tao Xi to a small room in the backyard, "Girl, you can do your own thing, I still have to look at the shop." ”
"Okay."
Tao Xi waited for the shopkeeper to leave, looked around, and then entered the space, if she grinded slowly, I am afraid that she will miss the time.
The flow rate of the space is different, so she entered the space to grind the medicine, and grinded the medicinal materials one by one into pills, and Tao Xi came out of the space.
Because he carried the basket, the shopkeeper didn't suspect anything, thinking that Tao Xi was grinding a medicinal herb.
Out of the pharmacy, Tao Xi also went to the grain shop that he had just passed, and the street of the grain shop was crowded with people, and everyone was scrambling for food.
Tao Xi also squeezed over, a pound of coarse grain is always money, this price is definitely very expensive.
But thinking of the children with big heads and thin bodies, Tao Xi still bought a catty.
She didn't dare to buy too much, for fear of provoking people's eyes, so she went out quietly to find something to eat and take out the space.
