Chapter 19: Do You Think Ginseng Like a Big Radish?!
Zhao Laoer's horse is an old horse, although he has a docile personality, but his foot is too slow, and he pulls a cart of people and wanders for more than an hour before arriving at the county seat.
"Girl, I'm still here at night, come back early."
Su Xiao jumped out of the car neatly with a small burden on his back, and Zhao Lao Er shouted uncomfortably in the back.
She smiled and waved her hand to show that she knew, then turned around and looked curiously at the fabled county seat.
Compared with Honghe Village, it is indeed a lot more prosperous here, with teahouses, wine shops, and restaurants lined up one after another, and people come and go on the street, which is very lively.
Su Xiao walked casually along the street, observing the shops around him with great interest as he walked.
Walking to a restaurant that looked the largest and most luxurious, she stopped.
This restaurant is called "Fuli Building", there are three floors high, the door face is splendid, and there are two neatly dressed little two, who are standing in front of the door with a smile on their faces to welcome customers.
She looked inside, and there were already a lot of people sitting before the meal, and the business was very good.
"Girl, what do you want to eat, please!" A guy noticed that she was probing her brain, and he was not disgusted by the fact that she was wearing a rustic cloth dress, and greeted her warmly.
Su Xiao refused a few words, thinking that he would come back after finishing his business for a while, so he continued to walk along the road.
Not far from the restaurant, she saw the plaque of a pharmacy at a glance and walked over happily.
Su Xiao stepped into the "Wang Ji Pharmacy", smelled a familiar aroma of herbs, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
These are all her old friends, it's been a long time!
She looked at the small drawers behind the counter with bright eyes, and looked at the bundles of herbs on the countertop that had not yet been ground, and the more she looked at it, the more itchy she became.
In modern times, she is a well-known special forces military doctor, with superb attainments in traditional Chinese medicine and excellent acupuncture skills, so she is very familiar with these things.
"This ...... Guest, are you going to grab medicine? ”
The pharmacy guy stood next to him and watched Su Xiao for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became.
The people who came to grab the medicine were all patients at home, who was not sad, this girl was good, standing there hehehe!
Isn't it...... What's wrong with the brain, right?
Looking at the young man's suspicious expression, Su Xiao coughed twice in embarrassment, and quickly put away the smile on his face.
No way, since she came to this place inexplicably, the first time she saw so many familiar herbs, can she not be excited!
"I don't take medicine, do you accept ginseng, I want to ask for the price." She asked, looking at the young man.
Ginseng?
The young man glanced up and down at Su Xiao's dress, dressed in a dusty cloth robe, and the cloth shoes on his feet were almost worn out and stained with mud......
"Yes, it depends on what year your ginseng is, a year or two years, but it's not worth much."
He looked away a little disappointedly, and there was a hint of disdain in his tone.
At first glance, she looks like a village girl in a small village, what good things can she have in her hands?
Eighty percent of them dug up a ginseng seedling by mistake, and they thought about selling it at a good price!
Su Xiao also saw the change in his attitude, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
"My ginseng, but it's so big, I don't know what year it is, we don't know that!"
She raised her hands, gestured awkwardly, and deliberately pretended to be silly.
The young man saw Su Xiao's length, and stared at her again in disbelief.
This village girl doesn't look very smart, could it be that she really took shit luck and dug up an old ginseng tree?
If the length she compared is true, then the old ginseng must have forty or fifty years, although it is not as good as the hundred-year-old ginseng, it is also quite valuable!
He hesitated for a moment, his eyes rolled around, and he changed his face to Su Xiao with a kind smile.
"Girl, you ...... Is it really that big? ”
After receiving Su Xiao's affirmative reply, he smiled again and said, "This size is about ten years, which is not rare, but we do accept it." ”
"If you're lucky, our pharmacy gives you a lot of money, how can we give you twenty ...... No, ten taels of silver, but that's a lot of money! ”
"Oh, so, that, so much money?" Su Xiao's mouth opened wide, looking surprised and happy.
Seeing her so happy, the young man pouted and smiled, sure enough, the village girl is the village girl, and she will fool people by making up two sentences casually!
"That's not it, you can quickly bring the ginseng, when the time comes, I will change the money, and I just went to the silk shop next to me to pull on a dress, the colorful satin, it is very beautiful!"
The young man bewitched a few more words, and the greed in his eyes could hardly be hidden.
This is a big deal, when the time comes, the account for the shopkeeper is fifty or sixty taels, and the village girl is sent away ten taels, and he himself can leave forty or fifty taels of private money!
Su Xiao smirked and replied, turned around and walked out of the door of the pharmacy, his face immediately sank.
Don't they all say that the ancient folk customs are simple, I'm baba!
This young man is not very old, but he has a lot of eyes, so he fools her around!
Ten taels?
Oh, let him dream well, she would rather gnaw that hundred-year-old ginseng as a radish than let a whisker fall into the hands of this unscrupulous pharmacy!
She angrily threw the burden on her back and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw a plaque of a pharmacy on the street corner not far away.
It's just that the brand is dirty and old, and the front is small, and it can't compare with the big and spacious store she just visited.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally walked towards the small pharmacy.
After entering, sure enough, the inside is also dark and old, although it is very clean, but it can't hide the dilapidated furniture around it.
This counter is not half the size of the one just now, but there are so many medicine cabinets in the back that there are almost no place to stand!
When Su Xiao entered, there happened to be an old woman grabbing medicine, and there was an old man with gray hair standing behind the counter, who was gently admonishing the old woman on how to decoction the medicine.
Seeing that people were busy, Su Xiao stood aside and listened for a while, and the more he listened, the more he had a good impression of the old man.
He told the old woman how to decoction the medicine, obviously knowing the properties of the medicine very well, and this medicine would have required an extremely expensive primer, but he recommended another medicine with the same effect but extremely cheap instead.
After sending the old woman away, the old man turned to look at Su Xiao.
"Little girl, what kind of medicine do you want to catch?" He asked very kindly.
Su Xiao smiled slightly, and said that he wanted to sell ginseng again.
Because the first impression was very good, she didn't pretend to be stupid this time, but bluntly said that she had inadvertently dug up a century-old ginseng, which was still in excellent condition!
After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up slightly, and then he clapped his hands excitedly, and even called out that this thing is too coincidental, and it just happened that someone was in a hurry to buy a hundred years of ginseng!
