Chapter 64: Buying Flatbread
"I forgot that I have silver here, let the doctor come over first, the illness must be cured first, otherwise this child will burn stupidly!"
In the end, the bearded man asked people to find a doctor, but the doctor had to ask for 500 silver first, and he knew that the refugees had no money, so he was afraid that he would drink his medicine in vain and not give the silver.
Xia Qiyue took out five hangs of money and handed it to him, and then prescribed a prescription for medicine.
An Zihao had already gone to collect firewood, and after the doctor prescribed the medicine, he also picked up a lot of firewood and came back and began to decoct the medicine.
Xia Qiyue couldn't care so much, she still had two children, so she handed over the children to her younger brothers and sisters and got up and walked to the people guarding the village.
And Ge Mingyu and his wife watched An Zihao buy medicine for their daughter, and looked at their son in their arms, who was also feverish, and thought about it.
"There you go! Get your daughter back! Get back all the medicine they prescribed! In this way, won't our Hua'er have medicine to drink? Ge Mingyu pushed An Zikang, who was injured, and said.
An Zikang was a little stunned of his younger brother and didn't dare to go, but Ge Mingyu rolled his eyes and had to get up slowly.
In fact, Lao An's wife has silver in her hand, not to mention that she had it before, it was the eight taels of silver that An Qingyan, the daughter who sold the big house, and they took seven taels.
But Ge Mingyu said that his son had a fever, and the old couple only said that they would drink more water, and it would be fine to wet their foreheads with water, and it would be fine for a while.
Ge Mingyu didn't give up, and saw that the fifth child invited a doctor to her daughter to come to see a doctor, she knew that the fifth child had no silver, it must be the silver from Xia Qiyue, and she was thinking about how to take out a little more of Xia Qiyue's silver.
Now that the dead girl has been adopted by the fifth child, and there is such a good treatment, just snatching her medicine back, it is impossible for the fifth child to look at the dead girl and ignore it.
The abacus is crackling here, and Xia Qiyue's side has already walked towards the team guarding the village.
"What do you do? You can't get into the village! The bearded man stepped forward to block the way, but because Xia Qiyue was a woman and her appearance was not bad, his voice was lowered a little, and it was not too scary.
Xia Qiyue stepped forward, she was still calm and not afraid in the face of such a person, she said kindly, "This big brother, I want to ask you about something!" ”
Seeing that Xia Qiyue's attitude was good, the bearded man softened his tone and asked, "What are you inquiring about?" ”
"Big brother, do we have a town near here? We walked all the way through the mountains, and the children couldn't stand the hunger and wanted to buy some food for the children! ”
After Xia Qiyue finished speaking, he took out five copper plates and handed them to the bearded man, which meant "bribery".
The bearded man took the copper plate, carefully put it in his sleeve pocket, and looked left and right, and saw that the two brothers next to him saw it.
"We are still forty or fifty miles away from Dachun Town, big sister, if not, the big cakes posted by the eldest brother and the girls can still be eaten, if you don't dislike it, I can sell you some!"
Xia Qiyue's eyes lit up, this feeling is good, as soon as she heard the big cake, she remembered the goose stewed in the iron pot she had eaten, and the cornmeal cake was pasted on the side of the big iron pot, but it was delicious, and her mouth was drooling when she thought about it.
She hurriedly nodded, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, thank you big brother for helping, I'll buy it!" ”
The bearded man's heart is happy, they are all in the village, the big cakes are their own corn ground into cornmeal pasted, the price of corn kernels is not high, they don't see a few copper plates all year round, but today is different, these people have silver in their hands, he turned around and asked his own ladies to paste a few more pots of cakes to sell, and then his son's bundle will be enough.
Thinking about it in his heart, his face was also a lot kinder, and he quickly nodded, "Cheng, then you just wait here, I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law to post it and bring it!" ”
There are almost a lot of words between them, and they are all sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law.
"Big brother, I want to buy a few more pots, you try to post a little more, and this price, let's talk about it first, and then it's easy to trade, right?"
When people are close to her, she is also close, isn't it just a few big brothers? Nothing.
The bearded man scratched his head, he didn't know how to calculate the price, and he didn't know how to count.
But after thinking about it for a while, there are two buns and one bun in the town, so he will also sell it for two pennies, and these people will definitely buy it if they are starving to death.
"Big sister, I won't tell you, we don't have much food in our family, so let's sell it to you for one or two pennies? When I go back, I will take the silver and go to the town to buy noodles and come back, who made you starve to death, you can be the first to do so! ”
Xia Qiyue heard it, although she didn't know the price here, but it shouldn't be really expensive, she could buy a meat bun for two wen, and his bud rice flour cakes would be sold for two wen, it was really...
But after thinking about it, she couldn't go to the town now, and she couldn't buy cheap cakes, so she spread out her hands with some embarrassment, and there was a small piece of broken silver lying in her palm, weighing one tael.
"Big brother, all I have is all the money, but there are eleven people in our family, and we have to continue to move forward, I'm worried... It's not enough for us to deal with the capital... It's really difficult, big brother, look, can you sell it to me cheaper, I'll buy more, okay? ”
The bearded man looked at the silver in Xia Qiyue's hand and his eyes straightened, this is silver, they are idle and working, hunting for money, that's so much for a month, right?
Moreover, his son's bundle was still five dollars of silver, so that the family also had money for it.
The bearded man was thinking about it, and several other people also came over to listen, and whispered that their house could also sell something like that.
Seeing this, Xia Qiyue opened a price, "Big brother, is this okay?" Two pennies and three cakes, if it works, I will buy them all with this two pieces of silver! ”
The bearded man's eyes lit up, two cents and three fine, about five or six cakes only cost one pound of noodles, and a pound of budding rice is only sold for two cents in the town, so he earns it.
"Good! That's it! Then I'll go back and paste the cake, it's decided! Two pennies and three cakes, you buy one or two silver! ”
The excited voice couldn't be suppressed, and his hands were clenched, and now he was afraid that Xia Qiyue would regret it.
"Good! If you don't regret it, then I'll wait! "Xia Qiyue gave a reassurance.
The bearded man turned and ran home, too late to say hello.
And the others rushed up, ignoring what Xia Qiyue said that she only had one tael of silver, they didn't believe that she only had one tael of silver.
"Big sister, do you still want big cakes? Our flatbread is also delicious! And something else! ”
"Big sister, buy our family! We still have the hare I just hunted! And sun-dried rabbit meat! ”
"Big sister, our family has cabbage and radish grown in our own vegetable garden, but the water is delicious! Cook a pot with flatbread and eat it, it's so fragrant. ”
"Oh, big sister, buy our house, we still have a big rice dumpling at home, and it's fragrant to cook porridge!"
"Big sister..."
"Big sister..."
"Big sister..."
