Chapter 35: Big Profit (Revision)

He Zao nodded, and his tone was affirmative: "Of course, she is looking for our mistakes, the eldest sister scared her again last night, of course she will think of a way to get back to the scene, secretly release the scorpion we caught, or take the evidence to complain to grandma, we can't eat and walk around!" ”

I have to say that He Zao really knows people like He Tanger, so when he left, he deliberately left a few little scorpions and let the Seven Treasures go inside.

The others were put in another jar, hidden in a large basket, and brought out.

She was going to secretly go to the town with Qibao this morning to ask for the price, and let He Chun'er take Sibao up the mountain to dig pigweed.

The road to the town is not difficult to walk, He Zao carried the jar on his back, and Qibao soon arrived at the pharmacy "Hechun Hall" that he came to last time.

Business in this shop is always so prosperous.

She had already inquired before, that is, He Chuntang was collecting scorpions, but she didn't know the specific price.

Entering the door of the store, there are two sitting doctors in the center on the left, and in front of them are the big medicine cabinet and counter, the boss who dealt with last time is not there, only a young man is soliciting customers.

Seeing the two sisters and brothers, the young man was a little surprised, but he had already forgotten about the two, and only asked with a smile: "Your young brother and sister, is this the medicine?" ”

He Zao smiled at him, and his voice was clear: "Big brother, may I ask if you accept scorpions?" ”

The young man saw that he was here to sell things, and his attitude was not as amiable as he had just now, he glanced at the two of them, and knew that they were from the poor man's house when he saw the dress, and said lightly: "Accept it, but we only accept more than one catty, and we don't accept one or two of them." ”

But in fact, if there are more than a dozen or twenty, they will also collect them. This guy is a bit of a dishman.

He Zao smiled sweetly: "Big brother, we weighed it at home, it is more than a catty, and you can weigh it again." ”

The young man was a little surprised, and his eyes glanced around the big basket behind her: "Bring it to me first." ”

He Zao didn't refuse, put down the bamboo basket, took out the jar inside, and carefully placed it on the counter.

The young man took a look inside, and saw that there were dozens of them.

He had a little smile on his face: "Little girl, are you sisters and brothers going to move?" ”

He Zao shook his head, his big eyes flashed: "Of course not, there are sisters and brothers at home, we have saved so much for a long time." ”

She also wanted to cover the matter of circumambulating the scorpion at night for two more days, so she deliberately said that it was very difficult.

The young man took it for granted: "Scorpions are hungry and thirsty, even if they are left for two more days, they will be fine, in this way, the scorpions collected in our store are one pound and fifty yuan, and the money will be given after the scale." ”

He Zao suppressed the joy in his heart and nodded: "Then let's weigh it." ”

Shippo followed her, and he was also extremely happy.

Weighing the goods but not weighing them on the counter, the young man took them to the backyard, He Zao saw the backyard of the pharmacy for the first time, and couldn't help but be full of novelty, the clean ground was covered with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and honeysuckle was among them.

The young man beckoned two helper-looking men to bring small scales.

He had already asked: "Big brother, what is the price of your honeysuckle now?" ”

When she asked like this, the guy remembered that she was also the honeysuckle she came to sell last time, so he looked her up and down, and joked: "The little girl doesn't pinch the honeysuckle, but moves the scorpion instead?" Now honeysuckle is expensive, and dry honeysuckle is one hundred and ninety-three pounds. ”

It's more expensive than before.

He Zao calculated what he had received now, and smiled sweetly: "Then we will send the honeysuckle another day, and we will ask the eldest brother to take care of it at that time." ”

"Well, this scorpion was also pinched by you on the mountain?"

He Zao dug his lips and smiled: "Well, this scorpion was moved indiscriminately when pinching honeysuckle, there are many scorpions on the mountain, and you can touch one from time to time, but it's a pity not to take it away." ”

"That's not it, earn some pocket money to buy snacks to eat."

As he spoke, he had already weighed it, the same as what He Zao and they weighed at home, more than four taels per catty. Probably in a good mood or something, the young man waved his hand: "You are also considered a customer, just count it as a catty and five taels." ”

He Zao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and threw out the good words as if he didn't want money: "Thank you so much, big brother, you are so good, you are a good person like your shopkeeper, in the future, whether we pinch honeysuckle or move scorpions, we will only come to your house, and we will not go to other homes!" ”

Qibao's dark eyes flashed, and he thought in embarrassment, in the town, it seems that this medicine shop is the only one that collects honeysuckle and scorpions.

The young man was not very old, but he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and when he heard this, he was also overjoyed, and said simply: "A total of 1,5075 Wen, do you want silver or copper coins?" ”

He Zao hurriedly said: "One tael will be exchanged for silver, and the rest will be taken for copper coins." ”

The young man was also cheerful, let people remember the list, went to the counter and took out one or two silver and five copper coins and seventy-five loose coins, and handed them to He Zao.

He Zao thought about it, took out twenty yuan and handed it to the young man: "Big brother, thanks to you for this hot day, this small money will be used to drink and scatter the fire." Don't be disgusted. ”

Twenty wen is a lot, but a guy in a pharmacy earns a few hundred wen a month at most.

Of course, the guy won't shirk, he took it with a smile, and boasted: "The little girl just knows how to do things, she is smart, if you have any medicinal materials in the future, I promise that I won't pit you!" ”

"Yes, thank you big brother, see you next time." He Zao put away the silver, and pulled Qibao out with a smile.

It's just that as soon as she walked to a secluded corner, she put the silver in her arms and hid it closely, and put the four hanging coins in the empty jar, carrying the rest behind her back, and letting Qibao hold the rest: "Qibao, look at what you want to buy on the street, sister will buy it for you." ”

Qibao was the first time in his life that he had taken such a large sum of money in his arms (in fact, it was only more than 100 yuan), and he was even careful when he walked, looking left and right with a small face, for fear that someone would suddenly appear and rob him of his money.

He Zao couldn't help laughing and touched his head: "Let us Qibao decide what to buy?" ”

Shippo's little face was flushed, obviously excited and shy.

But with the last experience, he whispered: "Second sister, why don't we buy some steamed buns from last time, even if my father eats them, he will say that they are delicious!" ”

He Zao nodded without hesitation: "Zhong, then let's buy buns, and buy twenty more." ”

Shippo smiled slightly.

It was hot, and they couldn't walk for a while, and the two of them were so hot that they were sweating profusely, but fortunately they had preparations before coming, He Zao took off the gourd hanging on his waist, drank two sips of herbal tea that was also a little hot, and handed it to Qibao: "Do you want to drink?" ”

Qibao took it and drank it several times, smashing it: "If only this was sweet water, herbal tea has no taste." ”

Children, always love sweets.

He Zao remembered a winter melon tea he had learned in his previous life, the material is very simple, only winter melon and brown sugar can be used to make a delicious and refreshing tea. Because my hometown is a tourist area, it has attracted many Taiwanese businessmen to do business, and Hezao's winter melon tea was learned from a Taiwanese businessman, and I heard that it is a very famous tea in Taiwan.

She bent her eyebrows and smiled: "Let's go, Qibao, let's go buy brown sugar." ”
