Chapter 8: Gifts
Xie Feng watched the conversation between the two quietly until the white-bearded old man left with a basket of herbs she had picked.
He took this opportunity to look at Jiang Jingyun and asked, "How did you meet these people?" ”
He was surprised from just now, watching Jiang Jingyun skillfully talk to these people.
The other party also had a very polite attitude towards Jiang Jingyun, which made people feel even more incredible.
"I met them when I came to town to sell herbs." Jiang Jingyun replied with a flat face.
Of course, she would not tell the other party that the reason why she knew them in the first place was simply so that she could continue to practice Chinese medicine in the name of justice.
However, after getting acquainted with them, after talking with them, she wanted to sell herbs as a way to make money, so she reached a cooperation with Old Man Xu by the way.
While speaking, the old man Xu came back with great satisfaction after handling the herbs, looked at Jiang Jingyun and said, "Very good, those herbs of yours are really what I want recently, I will accept them all, as for the price, even if you pay ten pennies a catty, how about it?" ”
"Shiwen?" Jiang Jingyun was obviously not very satisfied with this: "These herbs are picked by me and dried by myself, and like the acacia root you want, and Cordyceps are very rare on the market, and you give ten cents is really too little." ”
"Too little?" Old man Xu was a little surprised that the little girl was so difficult to fool, he scratched his beard, and then sighed: "Then how much do you say?" ”
"Twenty-five pounds." Jiang Jingyun said without thinking.
But when he heard this, Old Man Xu looked embarrassed: "Twenty-five is too much, I'll give you twenty-one catties." ”
"Deal." Jiang Jingyun hooked her lips slightly and readily agreed.
Old man Xu saw that he was pitted by a small doll, and suddenly sighed with pain on his face, this girl is so young, she is so smart.
Jiang Jingyun took it for granted, after all, the price was already very low.
If it weren't for the low price of this ancient world, Twenty Wen was already a relatively high price for them, and she would definitely not sell the herbs she had worked so hard to pick so hastily.
The herbs she collected these days weighed about ten catties, so she earned a total of more than two hundred yuan.
After the guy settled the money for Jiang Jingyun, Jiang Jingyun said goodbye to Old Man Xu and left with Xie Feng.
On the way back, they passed by a steamed bun shop, and Jiang Jingyun said to Xie Feng, "Do you want to eat steamed buns?" I'll buy you some. ”
Xie Feng glanced at the steamed bun shop when he heard this, and at this moment, the boss opened the cage drawer to get the buns for the guests.
The rich aroma of the meat buns wafts in with the wind, which is extremely tempting.
Xie Feng swallowed his saliva, and finally refused with a cold face: "No, I won't eat it." ”
"Okay." Jiang Jingyun glanced at him, but she didn't expect this kid to be quite persevering.
But she still said: "It's okay if you don't eat it, I'll buy it back for other people to eat." ”
Saying that, she walked to the steamed bun shop and said to the boss, "Please get me eight meat buns." ”
"Okay~" The boss responded, and then took the oil paper to help her wrap the buns.
Four buns were wrapped into one pack, and two were wrapped and handed to her.
A bun costs two cents, and it cost Jiang Jingyun a total of sixteen cents.
After buying the buns, Jiang Jingyun went to cut another piece of pork and put one of the buns and pork into the back basket.
Then Jiang Jingyun opened a pack of buns and took out one to eat, and said to Xie Feng beside her: "What are you doing in a daze?" We went back. ”
Xie Feng looked at the bun in her hand for a long time, and then had to follow.
Jiang Jingyun felt funny and sighed slightly when she saw this, but in the end she couldn't bear it and directly stuffed the rest of the buns into his arms.
"Well, eat it while it's hot." She said to him.
It had been several hours since breakfast, and they had not eaten until noon after the morning departure, and the child must have been very hungry by now.
Xie Feng looked at the three extra meat buns that suddenly appeared in his hand slightly, and then silently took out one and took a bite.
The buns with the aroma of gravy instantly filled their mouths with that full mouthful, and they were extremely satisfied and happy.
Jiang Jingyun saw that he was eating happily, and his mood instantly improved, and the law of true fragrance will never go out of style~
The two walked all the way out of the town and returned to the village with the ox cart of the same villager.
When I got home, it was already twilight, and in the small courtyard, Xie Fanqun was weaving baskets with bamboo strips, Xie Liu squatted next to him and watched very well-behaved, the scene of the old and the young looked very harmonious and warm.
"My mother is back!" Xie Liu shouted immediately when he saw her, and then ran towards her in a hurry.
"Hey." Jiang Jingyun answered, then bent down and opened her arms to her and hugged her.
Then she took Xie Liu's hand and walked towards the courtyard.
Xie Fanqun also greeted her: "You are back, what did you sell in the town today, did you make any money?" ”
"I sold the herbs I picked before, and I made some money, and our family is not so poor." Jiang Jingyun said to the old man in a good mood.
Although he is not rich, and the money he earns is not much and will not take long, but fortunately, his life can be improved for a short time.
Xie Fanqun listened and nodded repeatedly: "That's really good." ”
While the two were talking, Xie Liu pulled her sleeve beside Jiang Jingyun.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jingyun looked at her and asked softly.
"Mother...... Xie Liu didn't know what to think of, and said timidly: "When you weren't there today, two very fierce uncles came to look for you." ”
Jiang Jingyun frowned when she heard this, and then looked at Xie Fanqun with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Xie Fanqun shook his head: "I don't know what they came to you for, but I remember that those two people were from the recruitment office, and their attitude was quite arrogant, and when they asked where you were, I told them that you were not there, and drove them away." ”
"I see." Jiang Jingyun nodded in response with a serious expression.
The people from the recruitment office came to her, probably because after she wrote to Xie Feiran to explain the situation before, he must have reported it to his superiors.
The superiors pursued it, causing them to suspect themselves.
After all, she had taken the initiative to go to them before and ask about the monthly silver.
Jiang Jingyun frowned, the reason why those two people came to her must be because this matter has not yet been resolved.
And those people came to settle accounts with her.
Just when she was frowning and falling into deep thought, the anxious voice of her eldest brother Jiang Yunqi suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "Oh no, no, sister, something happened at home." ”
He ran over panting while shouting, sweating profusely and looking like he had been running all the way.
Although my mother's house is not very far from Xiejia Village, it is not so close, and it is still very tiring to run all the way here, unless there is really an emergency.
"What's going on?" Jiang Jingyun looked at him and asked.
