Jixiang saw a carriage appear at the door of Buzhuang, and he was a little entangled, he wanted to sell ginseng quietly, instead of driving the carriage back with such fanfare.

When the shopkeeper saw Jixiang's twisted appearance, he couldn't help but feel strange, didn't their family have a hundred years of ginseng to sell, why did it look like this.

"Shopkeeper, my brother may not want to be too public." Ping An saw the auspicious intention and opened his mouth to explain.

The shopkeeper's eyebrows raised slightly, this auspiciousness seems to be a little scheming, ordinary people have this kind of good thing, they can't wait to publicize it everywhere, I'm afraid that people don't know.

"Would it be okay to change to an ox cart?" The shopkeeper asked.

Ox cart, that's okay, Ping An hasn't been home for a long time, I bought cotton cloth and cotton to go home, I can't take it alone, and it's reasonable to hire an ox cart.

The carriage was replaced by an ox cart, and the shopkeeper didn't know where to sit in a silk gown, so he simply returned to the cloth village and changed into a blue muslin gown, which was not distressed when it was dirty and wrinkled.

The driver saw that the people were all together, waved the bullwhip in his hand, and shouted, but he felt strange in his heart, the shopkeeper had a clean and comfortable carriage not to sit, but to sit in the ox cart, strange man.

The ox cart entered the village, and the villagers were curious to gather around, the calf that Ji Xiang picked up had not grown up, where did the ox cart come from.

When they saw Ping An sitting on the ox cart and a few cotton cloths placed on the ox cart, they understood in their hearts that Ping An should have taken his wages and bought cotton cloth for the winter.

With so many pieces of cloth and such a large package, it should be cotton or ready-to-wear, it seems that Ping An has made a lot of money in the county, and the eyes of the villagers showed envy.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw what the villagers were wearing and their expressions, he immediately understood why Jixiang was reluctant to take the carriage, and regretted that he was too impulsive, and he should have asked Ping An to bring the ginseng out.

It's just that I've come here, and it's too late to regret it, so I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and listen to Jixiang to greet them.

Sure enough, hearing that these things cost Ping An half a year's salary, the dog girl couldn't help but pout: "Ping'an, you have a lot of children in your family, you have to save some money, and you will marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Ping An nodded yes again and again, and humbly told the dog girl that it is important to marry a daughter-in-law, but it is also very important to keep warm, otherwise she will freeze to death, why marry a daughter-in-law.

Ji Xiang couldn't help but glance at Ping'an, in his heart, the eldest brother is always good-tempered, even if he is wronged, he just smiles faintly.

Today I can actually scare people, it seems that the hundred-year-old ginseng at home has given the eldest brother confidence, and in an instant, Jixiang also straightened his waist, and I am also confident.

"Jixiang, who is this, why haven't we seen each other?" Dung Ball Lady asked loudly.

Ji Xiang didn't even glance at the dung ball girl, jumped off the ox cart directly, and ran home, he had to tell his father and mother in advance, the eldest brother's shopkeeper was here, let them keep quiet, otherwise let the village know that it would be troublesome again.

The old man Xiang, father and son went home early today, and he knew that it would only take half a day for Ji Xiang to come and go, so he rushed home after beating the two back baskets.

By the way, let Xiangchu take his younger brothers out to dig wild vegetables, pick up mushrooms, and all kinds of mountain fruits and hazelnuts, and in another half a month, once the snowflakes fall, these things will be gone.

Xiangchu ran to Fu Bao, who was eating egg custard, touched Fu Bao's face with his forehead and said with a smile: "My sister eats egg custard obediently, my brother will find wild eggs for you, and wild persimmons, which are very sweet." ”

Fu Baole waved his little fat hand, but his eyes were still staring at the egg custard, he was just right, and he could eat so many delicious things.

Xiang Chu smiled, took the little bison in the lead, took the basket on his back, and ran towards the foot of the mountain, although he didn't know what was going on at home, but with the birth of Fu Bao, they could at least have enough to eat.

When the old man heard that the shopkeeper of Ping An was coming, he hurriedly opened the gate of the yard, and the driver quickly drove the ox cart in.

Jixiang was very dog-legged to help the shopkeeper get off the ox cart, and the shopkeeper secretly praised this kid's cleverness, this way, he could make his back ache, and he really couldn't get off the ox cart alone.

The sister-in-law also quickly brought a pot of brown sugar ginger water, the weather was getting colder and colder, and there was nothing to cover the ox cart.

A big bowl of hot brown sugar ginger under the water, several people seemed to be alive, a lot more comfortable, the shopkeeper looked at Ping'an, Ping'an hurriedly looked at the old man Xiang.

"Shopkeeper, please come with me." Old Man Xiang glanced at the ox cart and said with some anxiety.

The shopkeeper also glanced at the ox cart, a little funny, a dignified proprietor's secret guard, was disliked, the secret guard quietly rolled his eyes, and silently drank a bowl of ginger syrup.

When the old man opened the layers of cotton cloth and revealed the ginseng inside, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he carefully picked up the ginseng, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.

That's right, it's this taste, and then look at the condition, it is definitely more than a hundred years old ginseng, and it is definitely a hundred years of ginseng that the owner wants.

"Daddy Ping'an, how much silver do you want to sell?"

"Shopkeeper, I'm ...... I don't understand the market. "Old man Xiang is a little embarrassed.

"My owner's surname is Wang, so you can call me the king's shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper knows that the old man is good or bad, and he is also a child, how can the old man call himself a long and short man, and he will definitely be unhappy if he is known by the owner.

In the imperial city, it is estimated that two or three thousand taels of silver may not be able to take it down, but in this place in Xiangzhang County, one thousand taels of silver is up to the sky.

But the shopkeeper didn't want to do things without a conscience, but the owner had already bid to 3,000 taels to find a century-old ginseng, and he gave a price of 1,000 taels, which was really a bit excessive.

What's more, Ping An is still working in his own cloth village, and he is usually in the industry, so he has a very good appetite for him, so he stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred taels."

Old Man Xiang was a little disappointed, the price in his heart was five hundred taels, these two hundred taels were too little, buy a piece of land and build a house, the money for the children to study in a private school would not be enough.

"Old man of the Xiang family, what two hundred taels, I'm talking about two thousand taels." Shopkeeper Wang smiled a little, and hurriedly leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered.

"What, two...... Two thousand taels? Old Man Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief.

"How? Does the old man want to make a move? The king asked with a smile.

"To you, to you." Old Man Xiang quickly handed the ginseng in his hand to the shopkeeper Wang.
