Chapter 82: Sugar Gourd
The ox cart walked slowly, and it took about an hour or so to reach the bazaar.
After getting out of the car, Gu Jiujiu, like everyone else in the village, touched six copper plates from his arms and gave them to the uncle who was driving the car. Originally, she only needed four copper plates, but she put more herbs on the ox cart, and as is customary, she had to pay two more copper plates.
Sister Yuan, the little guy, was tired of sitting in the car, and as soon as she went, she was very excited.
Gu Jiujiu looked at Sister Yuan, who was happy, pursed her lips and smiled, and she took down the herbs that were placed on the ox cart.
Holding the herbs in her arms, Gu Jiujiu suddenly felt a little heavy, thinking that Shen Kuo had helped her get it before, but at this moment, Gu Jiujiu suddenly felt that it was better to have him by his side.
"Sister, what are you thinking?" Sister Yuan looked at Gu Jiujiu's thoughtful appearance, and couldn't help but look at her with a puzzled look on her little head.
"Uh, didn't think about anything." Retracting his thoughts, Gu Jiujiu looked at Sister Yuan and said, "Let's go, let's go to the pharmacy now." ”
"Hmm." Sister Yuan nodded her little head, and obediently followed Gu Jiujiu in the direction of the pharmacy.
As soon as he walked into the pharmacy, Gu Jiujiu found that there were many people who came to the pharmacy today to grab medicine. When the pharmacy guy saw Gu Jiujiu coming, he knew that she was here to sell herbs, so while grabbing the medicine, he smiled and asked her to wait for a while.
Although there are quite a few people in the pharmacy who catch medicine, however, the pharmacy guy has been catching medicine for many years, and his movements are very skillful, and it didn't take long for him to catch all the people's herbs to them.
After sending off the last guest who came to grab the medicine, the pharmacy guy walked over and accepted the herbs sent by Gu Jiujiu, and took sixty yuan from the account room to her.
Gu Jiujiu took the silver money and left the pharmacy with Sister Yuan.
Walking in the bazaar, when passing by a small stall selling sugar gourds, Sister Yuan thought about the sweet and sour taste of sugar gourds, and suddenly became hungry, swallowed saliva, and the little guy pulled the corner of Gu Jiujiu's clothes with his hand and pointed to the sugar gourd strung with bamboo skewers, "Sister, I really want to eat sugar gourds, you can buy me a bunch." ”
"Little lady, since my sister wants to eat, you can buy a bunch for my sister, right?" The person who bought the sugar gourd looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile on his face, "There are twenty of them in a string of sugar gourds, and they are not expensive for three cents." ”
Gu Jiujiu looked at Sister Yuan'er's greedy face, it just so happened that she hadn't eaten sugar gourds for a long time, so she looked at the person who sold the sugar gourds: "Okay, bring me three strings." ”
"Okay, little lady, wait a minute." Originally, the person who sold sugar gourds only wanted to persuade Gu Jiujiu to buy a bunch, but he didn't expect Gu Jiujiu to buy three bunches at this time, and he was overjoyed, so he quickly took three strings of sugar gourds, wrapped them in oiled paper and handed them to Gu Jiujiu.
Gu Jiujiu took the sugar gourd wrapped in oil paper from the person who bought the sugar gourd, and at the same time took out nine copper plates and paid them to him.
After receiving the copper plate, the man looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile, "Little lady, if you think it tastes good, you might as well buy another bunch when you come to the market next time." ”
"Okay, if it's delicious, I'll come back next time." replied with a smile, and Gu Jiujiu took Sister Yuan away.
Knowing that Sister Yuan couldn't wait to eat, Gu Jiujiu gave her a string of sugar gourds as soon as she left the small stall selling sugar gourds.
