Chapter 21: The First Pot of Gold
Talking and laughing along the way, I soon came to the town, today is the market day, the town is full of people, the vendors on both sides are desperately shouting, and the things sold are also dazzling, not at all like the ancient poor rural gathering imagined by He Zao.
In fact, from this point of view, it can also show that today's politics is clear, and the people are peaceful and peaceful.
Sibao looked at the crowded crowd and asked He Zao a little nervously: "Zao'er, is it really okay?" I haven't seen any honeysuckle! ”
He Zao actually has no bottom in his heart, in modern honeysuckle is valuable, there is a collection in her hometown, she also followed her mother up the mountain to collect it when she was a child, but this era is not necessarily, but as the saying goes, the loser does not lose the battle, and the face still nodded with certainty: "Of course, someone must want it, go, let's go to the pharmacy!" ”
Around the corner of the street is a pharmacy called Chunhetang, the area of the pharmacy is not large, but there are many people who come to see the doctor, and there are also doctors who sit in the hall, He Zao's eyes turned around in the pharmacy a few times, and then he led everyone to the middle-aged man with a beard standing at the counter, and asked seriously with a raised face: "May I ask if you accept honeysuckle here?" ”
The man looked at them with interest: "You have the goods?" ”
He Zao nodded immediately: "Yes, we pinched it newly on the mountain, only dried it and put it away, it was clean and fresh, it was the best medicine, and the smell of medicine did not deteriorate!" ”
She is small, but she speaks clearly and hierarchically, which makes people feel pity and love.
The man couldn't help laughing and said, "Yo, you little girl still has medicinal materials!" ”
Traditional Chinese medicine is not just to dry the picked herbs, but also to adopt different processing methods according to different medicinal properties, so as to maximize the medicinal use.
He Zao didn't know how to concoct medicinal materials, but he knew this truth, so he shook his head and replied in a milky voice: "I don't know, but if the medicinal taste is well preserved, it can cure the disease better, isn't it, boss?" ”
The middle-aged man laughed again: "How do you little girl know that I am the boss!" ”
There were several people standing and sitting in the shop, but He had already gone straight to him.
She poked her little red lips and smiled, very cute: "Your momentum looks like a boss!" ”
The boss laughed, obviously in a good mood, and didn't dislike that they were just children, so he waved his hand directly: "Bring me your honeysuckle, if it's good, I'll take it!" ”
The sisters and brothers of the He family were overjoyed.
Sibao and He Chun'er hurriedly brought the small cloth bags they were carrying to the counter, the boss looked through them, smelled the smell again, and nodded approvingly: "It's not bad, let's say, what price do you want, I want all of these!" ”
He Zao asked rhetorically: "What is the price of your honeysuckle?" What is the price of honeysuckle nectar? ”
The boss couldn't help laughing: "The little girl is used to doing business!" In the middle, then I will give you the highest price in our store, this honeysuckle nectar is 300 yuan a catty, and the dry honeysuckle is 190 yuan a catty, is it not in it? ”
He had already silently estimated it in his heart, and felt that it was about the same, so he nodded and smiled: "Zhong, what is wrong with that, boss, you let people weigh it, we have all weighed it at home, I don't know if the logarithm with you is not right!" ”
This is a disguised reminder to the boss not to bully them for their young age, so they are cheating on the scale!
The boss couldn't laugh or cry, but his temper was very good, and he smiled: "You girl is a ghost elf!" ”
Sibao, Qibao and He Chun'er also opened their eyes wide, and they couldn't believe that honeysuckle was really so valuable!
Honeysuckle honey When they came, they weighed two catties of honeysuckle nectar, and eight catties and seven taels of dried honeysuckle.
That's 600 yuan plus 1,653 yuan, for a total of 2,253 yuan.
This is already a huge amount of money for the child.
The owner of the pharmacy smiled and asked, "Do you want silver or copper coins?" ”
Two thousand wen, that is a full two thousand copper coins, just taking copper coins can be exhausted to death, He can be sure that this boss must be deliberate.
She glanced at him angrily: "I want two taels of silver, and the rest of it needs copper coins!" ”
The boss squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, good." As he spoke, he really took out two taels of silver and a large handful of copper coins: "You count!" ”
He put away the silver earlier, and counted the copper plates one by one, and the number was right, and greeted the boss: "Boss, we will pinch it in the future, do you still want it?" ”
"Yes, yes, these days are going to be good, you can send it!"
There are very few people in Wuxian Town who really make a living by picking medicines, and honeysuckle is an important medicinal material in summer, so the owner of the pharmacy really hopes that He Zao and others will send it again, not to mention that they are also good at drying, which is very in line with his requirements.
He Zao came out of the store and walked to the corner of the street, Sibao pulled He Zao's sleeve tightly, lowered his voice and asked excitedly: "Zao'er, we really earned two taels of silver......
"How is it like a dream?"
He Chun'er couldn't believe it either, muttering to herself.
Qibao blinked his eyes wide: "Second sister, let me see what that silver looks like again?" ”
He was so small that he didn't see it clearly just now.
He Zao wanted to laugh again, but he was a little sour, touched his brain, and looked at a few people: "Yes, we really earned more than two taels of silver, let's put away these two taels, and we will spend the remaining more than six hundred dollars by ourselves, go, walk around the street, and see what you want to buy?" When we have money, we will spend it generously! ”
Sibao twisted his brows and thought about it solemnly for a while, as if he had made up his mind, before nodding: "Okay, let's go shopping!" ”
"Brother, what do you want to buy?"
Sibao asked Qibao first: "Qibao, what do you want to buy?" ”
Qibao puffed out his cheeks and asked, "Fourth brother, sister, I want to eat the snowflake candy that day, is it okay?" ”
He asked with some trepidation, because he had the impression that buying snacks was a luxury.
He Zao smiled encouragingly: "Okay, just buy two big bags, what else do you want to buy, Qibao?" Sister buys it, this is our own money, we can afford to spend it! ”
Qibao touched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "It's nothing, just snow candy!" ”
He Zao didn't ask much, and looked at He Chun'er again: "Eldest sister, what about you?" ”
He Chun'er tilted her head and thought about it, and said hesitantly: "I want to buy a few new patterns, so that the embroidered handkerchief can also be sold for a price!" ”
"Sibao, what about you?" She asked.
Sibao dug his lips a little shyly: "I want to buy a pen and learn to write on the ground!" ”
Sibao is very eager to go to school.
He Zao immediately answered: "Zhong, let's buy it, not only to buy pens, but also to buy paper!" ”
Sibao hurriedly stopped: "Don't grin, paper and pen are expensive, let's not spend money indiscriminately!" ”
He Zao waved his hand magnificently: "What are you afraid of, we have hundreds of dollars!" ”
Who knows that she still misestimated the situation of this era, in modern times, it may cost a dozen yuan at most to buy a pen and a book, but here, to buy a good set, you will get two taels of silver, with their current strength, they can't afford it at all.
He Zao sighed helplessly: "Then just buy a brush!" ”
