At this time, even the lazy people have finished plowing, and the fields are less lively than before, and they are peaceful.

Occasionally, a bird flew low and found a seed that was exposed, and happily held it in its mouth, flapped its wings and flew away.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue couldn't be idle at all, took out the slingshot in their arms, and flew out a few small pebbles from time to time to scare those flying birds.

They practiced their darts every night, and although they were not as precise as Chunhong, they were impressive.

Now playing a slingshot, it's the same thing, and the accuracy is very good.

Zhuzhu was soft-hearted, sitting in her grandfather's arms, her little fat hand covered her eyes, and she begged her brother softly.

"Brother, don't shoot the birds, they're so pitiful! The mother said that the little birds in the nest are still waiting for their parents to bring back food! ”

Old Man Tai listened to it funny and patiently explained to his granddaughter.

"Zhuzhu, the seeds in the field are planted by everyone, just waiting for the autumn harvest, so that everyone can eat their stomachs.

"The birds come to look for seeds, and when they get used to it, they try to dig them out of the soil. At that time they were full, but there were no crops in the fields, and we were going to starve. So, your brothers are not playing, they are protecting the crops. ”

Zhuzhu blinked her big eyes, and her eyes were very tangled.

Do you want the birds to go hungry, or do you let yourself go hungry?

Can't you all be hungry?

Tai Jizu looked at his daughter's embarrassed brows and couldn't help but laugh.

He gently shook the whip in his hand and asked his father in a low voice, "Dad, where are we going to sell ginseng?" ”

The old man actually didn't have an idea, he thought about it and said, "Let's ask the biggest pharmacy in the city?" If the price is not suitable, let's ask someone again. ”

"Got it, Dad." Tai Jizu didn't worry about the old and young people entering the city with heavy treasures, so he stored the carriage in an acquaintance's house in a small town outside the city.

For safety, in the basket where the mountain ginseng was stored, a bark bag was padded with a layer of wild vegetables, and when entering the city like this, the soldiers simply checked it and took a few glances.

A few people of all ages inquired and followed the flow of people to a pharmacy on the commercial street.

The name of the pharmacy is Kang'an Hall, and it is also lively with people coming and going.

The young man thought that they were going to catch medicine, and he was very enthusiastic, and when he heard that he was going to sell medicinal herbs, he smiled a little.

"What kind of herbs are you selling? We only have it here, if you can't get it on the table, take it away, it's not worth it for our shopkeeper to come out once. ”

Tai Yonglu was young and felt that he could take charge on his own, so he added a bit of arrogance.

At this moment, he was provoked by the young man, and immediately said, "What, is the mountain ginseng a medicinal material that can't be put on the table now?" Then let's change one! ”

Mountain ginseng?

The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and kept people.

"Oops, oops, little brother, forgive my clumsiness! Hurry up to the back and drink tea, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper! ”

As he spoke, he led the Tai family to the wing room in the backyard, and then ran away to ask the shopkeeper.

Old Man Tai narrowed his eyes and whispered to his grandchildren, "We only brought one ginseng, remember not to leak it." ”

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were puzzled, and when they were about to ask, the young man had already led a thin shopkeeper in.

"Where is the mountain ginseng? Show me! ”

The shopkeeper didn't even look at the Tai family, let alone salute, and asked for mountain ginseng when he opened his mouth.

The Tai family frowned, and even regretted entering this pharmacy.

The young man is a clever man, and when he saw this, he hurried to play a round.

"Our shopkeeper has been dealing with medicinal herbs all his life, and he is happy to see the hunt, and he can't care about anything for a while."

The shopkeeper also looked at the Tai family's bad face, and he was unhappy.

It's just a group of mud legs, and if you're lucky to get a mountain ginseng, you'll be on the shelf at this time, and you'll see the silver for a while, and not everyone will drool.

He coughed dryly, arched his hand perfunctorily, and said, "Brother, I'm really too happy." I don't know how many years of ginseng you have, so take it out and show it to me, how about it? ”

The matter has come to this point, and the Tai family is not easy to leave, so they can only take one step at a time.

Old Man Tai was in the basket, and it took a long time to pick up a bark bag.

"Oops, or fresh?" The shopkeeper became more and more happy, and quickly opened the bark bag, revealing the mountain ginseng that was as thick as a strong man's thumb.

"Yes, yes, more than 100 years. I didn't lose my ......."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he didn't want the young man to come forward to pour tea, deliberately interrupting him.

"Shopkeeper, I brought these fellows in, you must give a good price!"

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled twice, and he put down the mountain ginseng and said, "Needless to say, I will definitely give a high price." It's just that this ginseng was not careful enough when digging, and the beard was broken a lot, and the quality was too poor! Moreover, there are many people who go up to the mountains to collect medicine recently, and there are many ginseng on the market, so the price will inevitably be lowered.

"That's it, since you have spoken, it is not easy for a few fellows to come here, so I will give it to you...... Fifty taels! ”

Fifty taels?

The Tai family is all black-faced, even if they don't know the market, there is always a comparison.

The one that was sold to Old Man Wang before, in addition to good things such as darts and daggers, also added two hundred taels of silver!

Even if the age of this ginseng is a little worse, it can always be sold for 180 taels of silver.

Fifty taels, it's really too ruthless!

Old Man Tai said at the time, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper." We didn't plan to sell it, so we just came here today to ask about the price. In this way, let's go back first. Another day, when the family is short of money, we will come back again. ”

Tai Jizu immediately wrapped the mountain ginseng, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue also held their sister's hand left and right, ready to go out at any time......

"Stop!" The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and slapped on the bark bag, "When the medicinal herbs enter our Ankang Hall, there is no reason to bring them out again!" ”

Old Man Tai sneered, "What, Ankang Hall is a den of thieves, and you still plan to buy and sell by force?" ”

"Of course not!" The shopkeeper denied it, but his expression was full of pride and contempt, "If you say so, I will ask the young man to ask the official of the government to come over!" That's my son-in-law, how could I do something that breaks the law! ”

His original intention was to scare the Tai family, after all, the people are afraid of officials, and every time he brings out the identity of his son-in-law, he is not afraid.

But this time, he was going to be disappointed.

Old Man Tai motioned to his son to continue to pack ginseng, and said, "Okay, let people go and ask for an errand officer, and I will also invite the steward of the Min family." Before, I didn't deal with the servants of the government, even in front of the county commander, our family was also famous, maybe I was an acquaintance with your son-in-law. ”

At this time, Zhuzhu suddenly interjected and shouted, "Grandpa, when my mother and I went to congratulate Aunt Min on her birthday, we also saw Mrs. County Ling. She complimented me on my beauty and fed me snacks! ”

"Really?" Old Man Tai smiled and pulled the corners of his granddaughter's clothes, and responded, "There will be an errand officer coming over for a while, let's ask him to bring this mountain ginseng to Mrs. County Ling, okay?" In a few days, let your mother take you to the county lady to say goodbye. ”

"Okay, I miss Aunt Min too, and we'll invite Aunt Min to go with me then." Zhuzhu smiled, and should be happy.
