Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 73 Selling Herbs

Although the county magistrate is only an assistant to the magistrate, Da Chu is a nine-rank official system, and the county magistrate also has a rank.

The common people are afraid of officials, let alone an eighth-rank assistant official, even a small official in the yamen, the common people would not dare to provoke them.

"The Lu family relied on this marriage. Not only Mr. Lu is domineering, but the entire Lu family is a bit domineering, especially Mr. Lu's third son. The villagers must honor him as the third master Lu."

Mr. Lu has three sons, one helps the county magistrate and the other manages the shop in the county. These two do not come back often, and only the third remains in the village.

"I'm telling you all this today to let you know the situation in the village, so that you can know how to deal with it when something happens."

After Mr. Qin finished talking about the He family and the Lu family, the third grandpa talked about going to the town to buy things tomorrow: "Tomorrow is 27, and it is the last big fair before the year. Every family has to go shopping, but go to We don’t need too many people. If there are too many people, we will not be able to help, and it will take a lot of time to take care of them. Two adults will go to each family, and a half-old child will go to help with things. The rest will stay and gather at Dashan’s house and me. It's okay, don't leave the hospital."

Qin Laodao said, "We don't have many things to add to our family. Saburo can go alone. Erlang and I stay behind. We will look over here from time to time and protect everyone."

Several men were worried that something would happen to their family after they went to the town. When they heard this, they felt relieved and thanked Mr. Qin: "You are always thoughtful, and we will be at ease with you and Erlang looking after the house all the time. too much."

Qin Erlang didn't fit in with the group. He hurriedly finished dinner and left, not here.

After finishing talking, the family dispersed.

Chen Shi was thinking about the pheasant that had not been eaten, and wanted to take the pheasant away, but Gu Dagui saw it and scolded her in a low voice: "You mother-in-law, do you still want to be a thief?"

That's what Brother Qin and Xiaoyu's children found, and she's too embarrassed to take it?

Chen Shi was scolded, and withdrew his hand, and glanced at Gu Dexing with a bad look.Sister Mei is a big girl, so it’s okay to go out, but this brother Xing is staying at home all day without going out, so he can’t learn from brother Luo Wu Qin, go to the mountains to find something to eat, and make up for the family. ?

Gu Dexing knew that Chen was dissatisfied with him, so he bowed his head and went home quickly.

After the family left, Gu Jinli begged Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan: "Third Grandpa, Dad, let me go to the town with you tomorrow. I have saved a lot of medicinal materials and want to sell them in the town."

He also assured: "I'm strong, I can help pick things, and I won't follow in vain."

The third grandpa thought for a while and said, "Okay, then Xiaoyu will come with us tomorrow, and Ange'er will stay and watch the house."

There are many women and children in their family, so An Ge'er is left behind. If there is a bachelor who doesn't have long eyes who wants to come to visit, An Ge'er is a man who can come forward and stop him.

Gu Dashan respects the third grandfather very much. As long as the third grandfather agrees, he will generally not object.

"Thank you third grandpa, thank you father, thank you big brother." Gu Jinli was very happy and ran to sort out the medicinal materials she had saved, until the end of Xu Shi ([-] o'clock in the evening) before going to bed.

Their house and the third grandfather's house only have two old quilts, and these days men and women sleep separately.

The mother and daughter slept in the same room with the third grandmother and covered an old quilt.

The three of Gu Dashan's father and son followed the third grandfather to sleep in another room and covered the remaining old quilt.

Although it was very cold, the fire was burning in the house and the old quilt was covered. It was a hundred times better than when she fled from the desert. Therefore, she was not frozen to sleep. In the middle, he slept soundly.

The next day it was still dark, and the family got up.

Mr. Cui went to the kitchen to fry a bowl of soybeans, boiled a pot of boiling water, put some salt, and drank a bowl per person, and then ate a handful of soybeans, even if it was breakfast.

The third grandma and Gu Jinxiu took out the thick straw sandals they made yesterday and let the third grandpa, Gu Dashan and Gu Jinli wear them.

"You have to walk for two hours, so you should prepare an extra pair of straw sandals, otherwise you will have to go barefoot halfway."

The cloth shoes they brought from their hometown have long since fallen on the road, and they have not bought new shoes, so now they can only wear thick straw sandals.But straw sandals are easy to rot. If you are in a hurry, they will rot in a few hours, so you must prepare an extra pair.

Gu Jinli took the straw sandals, tied them with a rope, tied them to her body, then tied a bamboo tube of hot water, put her dagger in her pocket, used a wooden stick to pick up the half-sacked snake, and the medicinal materials she had accumulated on the road, waiting to set off. .

Third grandpa and Gu Dashan were also ready, and after explaining a few words to third grandma, they went out with empty baskets.

Qin Sanlang was already waiting in front of the courtyard. When he saw them, he smiled shyly: "Grandpa San, Uncle Gu, Xiaoyu, early."

"Mr. Qin, good morning." Gu Jinli greeted Qin Sanlang with a smile.

The third grandpa and Gu Dashan liked Qin Saburo very much. After saying hello, they also asked him if he was cold and had breakfast?A look of caring for his own children.

Qin Saburo didn't find it annoying and answered all of them.

They waited in front of the courtyard for a while, and when the Luo family's father and son, Uncle Tian's son, Gu Damu brothers, Gu Dafu brothers, and Chen's came, a group of people ran towards Qingfu Town.

Walking all the way for two hours, it was not until the hour that I came to Qingfu Town.

Today is the last big market day of the year. Qingfu Town is very lively, and people come to buy New Year's goods everywhere.

In the market, there are a few sellers of steamed buns, steamed buns, and pancakes. The business is very good, but a few of them are poor and reluctant to buy and eat them.

After the breakfast stall, there is a street stall selling farm goods. There are many things that farmers grow, make and raise on the ground. The most common ones are live chickens, eggs, and baskets.

There are also a lot of people selling blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets.

The tables with the red spring couplets and the characters of blessing were added to these stalls, forming a chaotic but vivid picture of the market going to the market.

These stalls passed, and then walked through a long and wide road, which was the main street of Qingfu Town.

The main street is a rare green brick road. On both sides of the street are restaurants, inns, pawnshops, grocery stores, grain shops, cake shops, cloth houses, etc...

At the end of the main street, there is a pharmacy, there is still a distance from the pharmacy, Gu Jinli smells a faint medicinal fragrance.

She craned her neck and watched, enjoying the third grandpa, and said to several families, "Let's spread out first, and gather at the grain shop after shopping."

He also explained to a few families: "The New Year is chaotic, be optimistic about the money on your body, and don't pick it up."

"Eh." Several men responded and spread out to buy what they needed.

After the families left, the third grandfather said, "Let's go, let's go to the pharmacy first."

Gu Jinli was very happy, picked up her herbs and rushed to the pharmacy at the end of the street first.

The third grandfather, Gu Dashan, and Qin Sanlang followed behind her carrying the baskets.

After a while, they came to the door of the pharmacy.

The name of the drugstore is quite special. It is not called a hall, but Xuanhufang.

There is a medicine cabinet with an entire wall, and apprentices who study medicine are singing the prescriptions, while the medicine boy is listening to the name and weight of the medicine, stepping on a high stool, and taking medicine from the medicine cabinet.

This drugstore looks good.

Gu Jinli walked into the pharmacy with the third grandfather, Gu Dashan, and Qin Sanlang. Immediately, a pharmacy boy stepped forward and asked them, "Are you taking the medicine or seeing a doctor? Take the medicine and wait on the left, and wait in line on the right when you see a doctor."

The third grandfather said: "This little brother, we don't see a doctor or prescribe medicine. We are here to sell medicinal materials."

"Selling medicinal herbs?" The pharmacy boy frowned, looked at their outfits, and asked, "You are very good-natured, aren't you locals, are you from fleeing the famine?"

Those who open the door to do business, even the pharmacists in the pharmacy have developed a pair of sharp eyes. Seeing that they are abnormally black and thin, they can see their identities at a glance.

The third grandfather did not hide it, nodded and said, "We fled from the northwest, but we have changed our household registration in the yamen, and now we are the villagers of Dafeng Village."

After listening, the medicine boy shook his head and said, "This old man, please forgive me, we cannot accept your medicinal materials."
