Chapter 76 Make Money

Xiao Liu was a sturdy middle-aged man. Hearing the voice, he walked in with a small sharp machete, carried the sack to the well in the corner of the yard, and began to fetch snake gallbladder.

Half an hour later, Zhuyu and Akebia calculated the prices of all the medicinal materials, and brought the money to Gu Dashan: "It's four taels and 630 big coins, you count."

Gu Dashan took the money with shaking hands, and he couldn't believe it: "This, so much?" About five taels of silver, this is the money for one acre of high-quality land.

The third grandpa also felt that the money was given too much. Although there were many kinds of medicinal materials Xiaoyu found, the weight was small, adding up to less than [-] catties, and there were many common medicinal materials that were not worth much.

Wooden Channel: "The three living bulging-necked snakes, Master is the master, and gave one or two half of silver coins. Those dried snake galls and centipedes are also worth a lot of silver."

If it weren't for the three living swollen snakes, there wouldn't be so much money.

Gu Jinli asked Mu Tong: "Uncle Mu Tong, what is the exact price of the 43 snakes?"

She caught those live snakes together with Qin Sanlang, Luo Huiniang, and Tian Xiaohua. The money they sold had to be divided equally, and she had to ask the price clearly and go back to tell them.

Mutong told her the price.

In addition to the three swollen-necked snakes, a red snake also sold for 43 renminbi, the highest price of the others was [-] renminbi, and the cheapest one was only [-] renminbi. The prices vary greatly, mainly depending on how precious the snake is.Their [-] snakes were sold for a total of two to eight hundred yuan.

After Mu Tong finished talking about the price of the snake, he told her the price of those herbs.

The dried medicinal materials she sold were 28 catties and one tael, and the total price was 830 Wen for one tael. The prices of various medicinal materials were not uniform, but on average, it cost 65 Wen per catty, which is not bad.

After Gu Jinli finished talking to Mu Tong, Gu Dashan returned the money from selling the medicinal materials to her: "This money belongs to Brother Qin and the others. It's not good to put it together with the money in our family. You can take it yourself."

Gu Jinli took the money with a smile and assured him, "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely hide the money so that the thief won't pick it up."

She took the money and ran to the front shop to buy medicinal herbs for expelling cold and dehumidifying.

Their family fled the desert all the way, and they suffered a lot of cold on the road. They had to buy some to go back and soak their feet to dispel the cold in their bodies.Otherwise, they don't have to wait until they are old, and their family will get rheumatism.

There is also Gu Jinxiu. She has reached the age of marriage. Women are the most incapable of suffering from cold. When they suffer from cold, they will accumulate in the body, and it will be difficult to conceive in the future.

The medicine boy standing in the medicine cabinet was called Ophiopogon. Knowing that she was a fellow of Doctor Du, and Doctor Wu received her medicinal materials, he asked enthusiastically, "What medicine do you want to buy? How much? prescription?"

Gu Jinli smiled at Ophiopogon and said, "There is no prescription, I want to buy two catties of peppercorns, two catties of Lao Ai, and half a catty of Xu Changqing."

Xu Changqing's herbs are a bit expensive, so she doesn't dare to buy more.

Ophiopogon wrote down the name of the medicinal herbs she mentioned on a small yellow paper, and after she finished speaking, took the small yellow paper to get her medicine in person.

After a while, he handed her three packages of medicinal materials wrapped in yellow paper: "This package is Zanthoxylum bungeanum, this package is Laoai, and this small package is Xu Changqing. There are a total of 170 Wen."

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is cheaper than Lao Ai, Xu Changqing wants 160 Wen a catty, and she wants half a catty for [-] Wen.

"Thank you." Gu Jinli gave money and took three packs of medicines. She had to sigh with emotion. No wonder many people died of illness in ancient times. One of the poor medical conditions is the poor medical conditions, and the other is the expensive medicine. These medicines in her hands can only be used by a strong laborer. monthly salary.

When she returned to the backyard with the medicine, Doctor Du and the others were already saying goodbye to Doctor Wu.

Dr. Du had no money, so Dr. Wu paid him two months' wages in advance, which moved Dr. Du to tears, and was thanking Dr. Wu continuously.

Old Doctor Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't say these polite words, remember to go to work in the tenth day of the first year. If you don't worry about your grandchildren, you can bring them. There is a room in the backyard for you, which can be separated into two. A small room, enough for three of your grandparents and grandchildren."

Doctor Du was worried that he would come to the town for a clinic and would not be able to take care of his grandchildren. Doctor Wu’s words solved a major problem for him, and he was grateful for it. He was so frightened that Doctor Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly called Mutong and asked Mutong to take them away. Sent to the pharmacy.

As soon as Gu Jinli came out of the pharmacy, he ran to Qin Sanlang and said, "Brother Qin, our snakes are selling well, and we got [-] yuan."

After hearing this, Qin Saburo laughed: "It's a good price, we can get a lot of it." Especially the Tian family, this money can relieve them a lot of pressure.

Doctor Du glanced at Qin Sanlang, then turned to ask the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, are you going to buy New Year's goods?"

The third grandpa said: "Yes, it's New Year's Eve, why do you have to buy some, and you have to buy some guys to live."

Doctor Du said, "I'm going to buy something too, let's go together."

Doctor Du finally met people from his hometown, and he felt nostalgic and did not want to part with them too early.

The third grandpa naturally said yes.

Several families did not have any clothes to keep out the cold, and they were wearing straw sandals. Their feet were purplish red from the cold, so they had to go to the cloth village first to buy some fabrics and cotton to make shoes, cotton clothes and quilts.

Buzhuang is not far from the pharmacy, on the same main street, and it takes half an hour to walk there.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are people in Buzhuang who come to buy things, in groups of three or five, which is very lively.

But after seeing them, many people backed away and whispered, "Yo, look at this, it's the disaster victims in our Qingfu Town."

"No, look at them, they are too thin to be human, and the clothes are torn like a beggar."

"Tsk tsk, I don't even have a pair of shoes, my feet are frozen like pigs' trotters."

"Hey, what a pity..."

There are those who mock and those who pity them.

However, Gu Jinli didn't take their words to heart.

Laugh at them, they disdain.All the way to escape, they can survive to be heroes.

Pity them, they don't need it.They have hands and feet and can live on their own.

Gu Jinli carried her two sacks and slapped them in front of the counter with two taels of silver, and said to the shopkeeper of the cloth village, "How to sell cotton and cotton cloth?!"

The shopkeeper of the cloth village originally wanted the staff to drive them out, but when she saw that she had dropped two taels of silver, he immediately smiled and said: "We have three kinds of cotton here: new cotton, old cotton, and miscellaneous cotton. The new cotton is one hundred dollars per catty. , used cotton is [-] cents a pound, and miscellaneous cotton is [-] cents a pound.”

The third grandpa frowned and said, "This price is more expensive than in previous years."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The old man is right, the price is indeed higher than in previous years, but this year we have suffered disasters all over the country, and the prices of many things have risen. At times, the price will naturally be more expensive.”
