Chapter 765: Exchanging Herbs
A moment later, a young man in a thick cotton coat and bulky cotton pants ran over, with a woolen hat on his head, which was red, and looked like a woman's style, but now was not the time to pay attention, the young man sniffed and asked:
"Uncle Cui, what's the matter?"
"Guard the stall for me, and I'll take the patron to see the goods."
"Okay!"
The boy should have been very familiar with the stall owner, so he immediately responded, and then sat in front of the man.
And the person named Uncle Cui took Ripples and his party to the outside of the trading market, and the half bag of grain was hidden in his arms, and he couldn't see the thickness of the clothes anyway.
"Brother Cui, where did your herbs come from?"
Ripple probed directly.
"There was a lot of water in the place where we lived, and everyone hid on the top floor, and built sheds on the top floor to survive, and one day a trailer truck was brought to our site by the water.
Everyone still had some food in their hands at that time, but they didn't know when the heavy rain was the head, so they stopped the trailer of the truck, and opened it to see that it was full of Chinese herbal medicines, some of which were Chinese patent medicines, and some of which were herbal medicines.
Although it is not food, but the medicine is also expensive, it is because of those Chinese patent medicines, we exchanged medicine for food, and then we survived until the rainstorm season, and then joined another office building that was not completely flooded.
But no one knew how to mix herbs, and in the end there was left, and the temporary settlement opened a trading market, so we thought about trying our luck.
This herb is medicine in the hands of people who know how to do it, and it is useless in our hands, I think this eldest brother understands Chinese medicine, you must change it back, it can be of great use. ”
The man immediately recommended.
"Listen to what you mean, this herb should have been blistered, is the medicinal property still there?"
Ripple asked lightly.
The man's footsteps paused, his body stiffened a little, and then explained:
"After the rain stopped, we dried all those herbs, and the medicinal properties should be fine, you can see it."
Ripple didn't talk, but just glanced at Liu Zili, and the other party immediately nodded to show that he understood.
"Right ahead."
The man didn't say more, and led people into a courtyard, and their group of four attracted the attention of the residents of the office building, where the houses were flooded, so the office building was high, even if the ten floors below were submerged, there were still more than a dozen floors that could live in people.
This time it was Sun Weifeng who took the lead, Zhao Jia was second, Liu Zili was third, and the ripples were behind, after all, it was on someone else's territory, so be careful.
"Brother Cui, are you back? Found a buyer? ”
A middle-aged woman accosted the man who was leading the way.
"Well, people want to see the goods, if they can use it, they will change it, if it is undruggable, people will not change it."
The man told the truth, did not stop, and led the four into a room, through the open office hall, and then into the innermost office.
During this period, the people who lived in the open office all cast longing glances at the four of them, they were really hungry! If the pile of grass can be exchanged for food, even if it is less, there is always something to eat, and the cold weather consumes a lot to keep out the cold, even if you light a fire, you feel that there is a cold wind blowing everywhere.
A group of four people entered the office inside, looking at the herbs stacked at random, Liu Zili's distressed lips trembled:
"Oops! This. This. How can it be stacked like this! That's a waste of good stuff! ”
"Brother Liu, go and take a look, pick up what can be used and pick it out, forget about the myrrh, we are not wronged."
Ripple said directly.
"Okay, I'll pick and choose."
Liu Zili rolled up his sleeves and began to pick herbs from the door, and the smack in his mouth did not stop.
The man touched his nose helplessly, who let them not have a single one in the building who understands herbal medicine.
"Brother Cui, find some bags, let's pack things!"
Zhao Jia said to the man.
"Okay!"
The man immediately responded, this is the meaning of the change, he immediately turned around and went out to look for the bag, and the people outside immediately surrounded him, and when he heard that the pile of moldy grass could really be exchanged for food, he immediately began to search for the bag, hoping that this group of people could exchange all the grass for food.
At this time, Sun Weifeng came to Ripple's side, lowered his voice and said:
"When we left the market just now, we were targeted, and it is estimated that the helpers found by those three people."
"I know! It's not a whirlwind that covets me yet! ”
Ripple said very firmly, and didn't forget to stroke the whirlwind's head.
I guess we also have food on us."
Sun Weifeng continued, and he didn't take the topic of whirlwind.
"Don't worry, try to replace all the food we brought with herbs, if they want to intercept it, we will accompany it to the end, and whoever is big now will listen to whom."
Ripple said calmly.
After four full hours, Liu Zili picked out four sacks of usable herbs, and looked at the remaining herbs that had become moldy and hairy with regret, the quality of these herbs was very good, and it was so bad.
"Brother Liu, can you still pick some out?"
Zhao Jia asked.
"I tried my best, but I could only pick these out, and when I go back, I have to do a second treatment."
Liu Zili told the truth.
"Guys, I still have a set of surgical equipment here, do you want it? It was also salvaged by us along with the car. ”
The man looked at the room full of herbs and the other party only picked out four sacks, obviously a little anxious, and immediately said.
"Okay, take a look."
"Hey! Wait a minute! ”
The man went out, entered the door with a box made by Lu, opened it and pushed it in front of Liu Zili.
"It's a portable set of surgical supplies, and it's more than enough for a minor surgery."
Liu Zili said after reading it.
"Okay, let's change it together."
Ripple waved his hand.
Several people took out the grain on their backs, including rice, flour, corn flour, and soybeans, and miscellaneous things, so they finally scraped together 20 catties and handed them to the man.
"A few, can you add some more? That's just too little. ”
The man rubbed his hands together and said.
"Big brother, you can be content! exchanging a bunch of useless grass for food, even if we understand traditional Chinese medicine, others will not be so generous. ”
Sun Weifeng showed a mouthful of white teeth, patted the man's shoulder and said.
"Okay!"
The other party finally compromised, after all, what they said was right.
After receiving the grain, the man sent the ripples and his party out of their territory, and then hurried back to the office building.
The four of them tied up the four sacks of herbs, put them on the cart, and then slowly dragged them back, and after leaving the scope of the office building, the four of them were surrounded by a group of people, the most of which was the girl Xiaoxiao who was scratched by the whirlwind before.
"Brother Qiang, they hurt me and robbed my cat, you have to do justice for me."
The man known as Brother Qiang was a short and fat man, but his waist was bulging, and he looked like he was hiding a guy, and the other party's eyes swept on the faces of the four of them, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and said very arrogantly:
"Join my team, I'm not guilty of the past!"
"Brother Qiang!"
Xiaoxiao was obviously unwilling, but was glanced at by Brother Qiang and shut up. (End of chapter)
