Old Man Tai hurriedly went to open the door, and there was a steward in his thirties standing outside the door, as well as a half-grown man who delivered a letter.

Needless to say, this is the Wu family who needs mountain ginseng.

This steward is also very clever, and he greeted people with a smile without waiting for a salute, "Oh, this uncle is polite." I'm really sorry to disturb your dinner! ”

Banxian'er heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly got up and greeted, "Steward Wu, please come in, you're welcome." ”

Old Man Tai turned sideways and welcomed Steward Wu into the house, and then gave the half-sized man a handful of copper coins.

The half-eldest boy was so happy that he shouted with the half-fairy and ran back to his stall.

Steward Wu was allowed to sit down, and soon another young man put on clean dishes and chopsticks.

Steward Wu thanked him, and looked at Old Man Tai without a trace, while being happy for this unexpected joy.

He listened to his master's instructions that day to go to various pharmacies to find wild ginseng, but unfortunately found nothing.

He was afraid that his master would punish him, so he went to the doctor in a hurry and found a fortune teller.

At that time, the blind man said that there would be good news in a few days, but he thought it was a prevarication, and he felt sorry for the ten cents thrown in vain.

Where did I think that this blind man is really a miracle, and there is really a ginseng seller to find him.

Old man Tai had a lesson from the past, and he didn't speak first, just picked up vegetables for his little granddaughter.

Zhuzhu secretly looked at Steward Wu, and then kept blinking with her grandfather.

The old man was funny, but he also understood what his granddaughter meant.

Even if this Wu family steward is not a good person, at least it is not bad, and if it is a transaction, there will definitely be no trouble.

Banxian'er groped and turned to Steward Wu, and introduced, "Steward Wu, this is Tai Liuye from Taijia Village, who went up the mountain yesterday and dug up a mountain ginseng, because he was familiar with me, he just came over to gossip, and as soon as I heard about it, I quickly asked someone to call you."

"The specific goods to give what price, the two of you will discuss it yourself, and I will pull the strings. But they are all Tai'an folks, we just can't buy and sell, and we are kinder, don't look back and scold me, an old blind man, for pulling my head randomly! ”

"No, no!" Steward Wu hurriedly thanked him, "Sir, I said that there was news in a few days, but now it has really come true, and it is too late for me to be grateful." If the transaction is not successful, it will not be missing the thank you gift from Mr. ”

After that, he said to Old Man Tai again, "Uncle, don't worry, although our Wu family has a small reputation in the city, it is also a scholarly family, and will not do such deceptive things at will." You show me the ginseng first, and then we will talk about the price. As long as it's okay, I won't let you suffer. ”

Old Man Tai nodded, and pulled the basket on the side to rummage.

As a result, there was a knock on the door again.

Old Man Tai was alert and immediately kicked the basket under the table.

Steward Wu didn't like to be interrupted, frowned and got up to open the door, not wanting to be his coachman outside the door.

He lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The coachman shrunk his neck, hurriedly handed over the purse in his hand, and replied, "It's the lady who knows that you have found the ginseng, and specially asked someone to send a silver ticket, asking you to bring the ginseng back no matter what." Our master's medicine is gone, and we will refill it tomorrow, so I can't wait for ......."

Steward Wu loosened his brows, and when he took the purse and was about to speak, the coachman inadvertently swept through the house, but suddenly shouted in surprise, "Oh, it's the old man of the Tai family!" ”

"You know?" Steward Wu was even more surprised, and couldn't help but turn around to look at Old Man Tai.

At this moment, Old Man Tai also looked over, and was stunned for a moment before getting up and laughing, "This little brother has been to our house before!" ”

The coachman also hurriedly gave up his hand and said with a smile, "Old man, we meet again." ”

Steward Wu was anxious and secretly glared at the coachman, who hurriedly explained a few words.

"After the year, our lady came back from Zhuangzi with the little young master, and accidentally overturned the carriage, and it was the family of this old man Tai who helped a lot. Later, Mrs. Ge and I went to give thank-you gifts. ”

Steward Wu suddenly realized, and smiled a little more confidently.

"Oh, Uncle Tai, we really washed the Dragon King Temple in a big water, it turned out to be a family."

Old Man Tai also felt a little closer, and said with a smile, "Isn't it, it's such a coincidence." ”

The coachman gave up, helped close the door and hurried downstairs.

Old Man Tai thanked him for the rice and noodles he had received, and Ma Li took out the bark bag and opened it for Steward Wu to see.

Steward Wu is the front yard of the Wu family on weekdays, and he specializes in taking care of trivial matters for Master Wu.

Master Wu has been bedridden all the year round, and he is indispensable to deal with medicinal materials.

Almost after a glance, he said happily, "Oh, this has been around for a hundred years, it's rare, it's so rare!" ”

Banxian'er complained in her heart that she had never seen the world, not to mention that the Tai family secretly hid that ginseng king, even if the old man Wang bought that plant, it was much better than this!

But he didn't say, just echoed and praised, "Yes, I can't see it, but it smells like it's a good thing." ”

Steward Wu looked left and right for a long time before tying the bark bag again, and then said.

"Old man Tai, since you are your own person, I will not be polite to you. Our master really needs ginseng as medicine, and the strain you dug up is also in excellent condition, according to the market price, it should be one hundred and twenty taels. But our lady has been instructed to give a high price. In this way, I will give one hundred and fifty taels, and see how? ”

Old Man Tai hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "Steward Wu, the rice, flour, grain and oil that your family gave to our family before helped our family survive the hardships of the green and yellow, and I am really too late to be grateful."

"In my mind, I don't want a penny, as long as your lord can recover, our family will be happy. But presumably you, or your lady and lord, I'm afraid you won't agree.

"So, let's compromise, don't say that the price is one hundred and fifty taels, and I won't say half the price of fifty taels, this mountain ginseng will be priced at one hundred taels. Let's talk about it as a family, and you can go back to the business. ”

Steward Wu listened to it with great ironing in his heart, and he was really impressed by Old Man Tai.

He went back and told his master these words, I am afraid that the master will also remember the Tai family's three points, and he will have to move around diligently in the future.

Thinking like this, he responded, "Okay, old man, I'll take a hundred taels of this ginseng and bring it back first." If our master scolds me for treating you badly, I will go to the old man again. ”

"No, no, our family is already very happy to get a hundred taels, after all, it is a windfall rewarded by God, don't be greedy." Old Man Tai smiled and pushed the bark bag over.

Steward Wu hurriedly took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his purse, and for the convenience of the old man's flowers, he also specially gave a lot of small denominations of ten taels and twenty taels.

Banxian'er, as the middleman, touched every silver ticket before giving it to Old Man Tai.

Both the buyer and the seller were happy, and for a while they called the men to add wine and food, and Steward Wu accompanied him to drink two glasses of wine, and hurried back to report after eating a few bites of food.

At this time, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue also returned, and the bark bag in the basket was gone, and it was replaced with heavy silver.
