Chapter 8 Selling Medicinal Herbs
The three hit it off.
"Then send the big head to your grandmother's house tomorrow, let's go and have a look." Wen Xiu Yi Dao.
Unexpectedly, the big head who had been quietly playing with his clay puppet suddenly hugged Wen Xiuyi's neck and refused to let go of anything.
Wen Xiuyi looked at his eldest son and daughter blankly.
"Big head, are you afraid that we will leave him?"
It's okay not to say it, as soon as he said that the big head was hugged tighter, Wen Xiuyi immediately understood.
Such a young child has no sense of security, Wen Xiuyi patiently coaxed him and talked to him for a long time, but this kid just refused to let go.
"Dad, why don't you take the big head, you go to the dock, my eldest brother and I will take him, it will be fine." Wen Yao said, the two of them adults, they can't even look down on a child, and they can't bear to leave him at home when they see the big head like this.
The big head's eyes lit up, he nodded again and again, and immediately got down from Wen Xiuyi's body and took Wen Yao's hand, saying that he would definitely follow him well and would not run around.
Wen Xiuyi was soft-hearted: "How can this kid be so sensible." ”
After speaking, Wen Xiuyi scolded Meng De in his heart again.
Since they are about to enter the city, they can buy some of the things that are lacking in the house, Wen Yao told Wen Xiuyi about the big head hiding money, and took out the money bag and counted it, and there were more than 300 Wen.
Wen Xiuyi touched his youngest son's head in surprise: "Yo, I'm still a miser." "I don't know how this kid left the money, maybe it was his ex-wife.
The big head only thought that Wen Xiuyi was praising him, and rubbed his head in the palm of his hand, which provoked Wen Xiuyi to hold the big head for a while and praise his father's good son.
The original eldest Wenjun got up and said, "Then I'll go to the old mansion and talk to grandma, and by the way, ask the second uncle and the third uncle to come over tomorrow to get our kitchen, we are not at home, so we have to trouble them to take care of it more." ”
They didn't run into the second and third uncles today, and the kitchen didn't finish.
Wen Xiuyi nodded and looked at Wen Yao: "Yaoyao, give your brother fifty yuan and let him bring it, this kitchen repair is also laborious and laborious and materials, and for so many years, I have not honored your grandmother well, although this money is quite a lot for our family at present, but my father will definitely work hard to make money for you to spend in the future." ”
"Money is big, you have to ask big." Wen Yao looked at the big head: "Big head, is it okay?" ”
The little man pressed the money into Wen Yao's arms and nodded, which meant that it was like saying yes, and I would give it to you.
Wen Yao counted fifty yuan to Wen Jun, and then packed some pine nuts and pecans they bought, and asked Wen Jun to take them.
It didn't take long for Wen Jun to return.
"Grandma accepted the money, said that the second and third uncles would come to clean up for us tomorrow, and asked if we would all enter the city tomorrow, if we would like to send the big head over." Wen Jun said.
As soon as the big head heard this, he shrank into Wen Xiuyi's arms.
Wen Xiuyi patted him on the back soothingly, and said, "No, since you promised the big head, take him with you, you have to take care of your younger brother tomorrow, it's not easy to find a child in this place." ”
The brother and sister said that they would definitely be optimistic about the big head, and the family went back to their own nests to sleep separately, it was the big head child, who had to pull the sleeves of Wen Yao's clothes when he slept at night, for fear that they would run away.
The next day, the family of four got up before dawn, Wen Yao steamed the steamed buns with the remaining noodles, Wen Jun carried the basket, Wen Xiuyi carried the big head, Wen Yao locked the only two remaining doors, and went to the old mansion to say hello, and started their first trip into the city.
The big head is still young, slept all the way to the city gate, heard the noise around the eyes slowly opened his eyes, saw the huge city gate and the lively crowd, curious baby big head eyes are not enough to see.
Wen Xiuyi sent the three brothers and sisters to a street with a pharmacy in the city, and only then did he point them out the direction of the wharf, and let them go to the wharf to find him when they were done, and then he touched his youngest son's head and went in the direction of making money.
Wen Jun and Wen Yao had long been accustomed to seeing off Professor Wen like this, only the big head kept looking at the direction Wen Xiuyi left in a daze, until Wen Yao took his hand and entered a pharmacy with Wen Jun before raising his head to look at his brother and sister and follow in.
Because the hour was still early, there were no patients in the pharmacy to come to see the doctor and grab medicine, only a little medicine boy was sorting out the medicinal materials and cleaning, seeing them come in, the little medicine boy stopped what he was doing and greeted him.
"How many, see a doctor or grab medicine?" The little brother is very polite.
Wen Yao took the hand of the big head and asked with a smile, "Big brother, do you accept medicinal materials here?" ”
Although Wen Yao is thin, she deliberately cleaned up when she went out today, although she was not well dressed, her mouth was sweet.
The little medicine boy looked at the three of them, saw the basket on Wen Jun's back, and said with a smile: "Accept it, you wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper." ”
Wen Yao said that it was troublesome, and the little medicine boy blushed and said that if you don't bother, you will go to the back to find the shopkeeper.
Wen Yao looked around, and had a very good impression of this pharmacy, the things in the pharmacy were neatly placed, and they were cleaned, even the tools on the medicine cabinet were neatly arranged, which showed the intentions of the people who took care of this place.
In any case, as a 'hospital', cleanliness is very good.
It didn't take long for the little medicine boy to come out with the shopkeeper, who was a middle-aged man in his forties, who first looked at his three siblings before asking, "Are you going to sell medicinal herbs?" ”
Wen Yao pushed Wen Jun, and Wen Jun stepped forward and saluted: "The shopkeeper is good, we want to sell it." ”
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was a mud leg from the countryside, but he didn't expect this kid to know how to be polite, and his impression immediately improved a lot, he rolled his sleeves and asked, "Okay, put it down and I'll take a look." ”
Wen Jun put down the back basket, and inside was the Tianmen Dong they had cleaned up.
The shopkeeper took a few and looked at them, and then turned them over in the back basket, and turned the bottom one out and looked at it for a while, before nodding and saying: "The quality is not bad, but the year is not long, this day the door winter our pharmacy is thirty-five wen a catty, if you want, you can leave the medicinal materials, if you don't want to, you can also go to other houses to ask the price and then come back." ”
The little medicine boy stood next to Wen Yao and said with a smile: "Little sister, our shopkeeper is the most honest on this street, and the neighbors know it, so you can rest assured." ”
Wen Yao has nothing to doubt, after all, there is no need for people to open such a big pharmacy to deceive them, this little people, they can't make a fortune after defrauding a few catties of Tianmendong.
"Then Brother Lao will help you weigh it." Brother and sister said.
The shopkeeper saw that although the three brothers and sisters were not well dressed, they were cleaned up, and the key was to understand etiquette, so he asked with a smile: "Does anyone in your family understand this?" "Otherwise, there are some people who know about ordinary medicines, but it is not easy to find people who don't understand medical science in this day.
Wen Jun didn't squirm either, and replied with a generous salute: "I used to learn some from the elders in the family." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at him a few times and nodded, no wonder, it turned out to be a foundation, so he said: "In the future, if you pick any more medicinal materials, just send them to me, but say good first, I don't want the bad ones." ”
Wen Jun waved again: "That's natural, then thank the shopkeeper first." ”
Soon the little medicine boy weighed the medicinal herbs and came out, there were twenty-two catties, a total of seven hundred and seventy wen.
The shopkeeper gave the money, and the brother and sister thanked them again, before they were sent out of the pharmacy by the little medicine boy, and when they left, they heard the little medicine boy shouting Doctor Jin, you are here, Wen Yao glanced back, and a gray-bearded old doctor happened to be introduced into the pharmacy by the little medicine boy.
