Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 13 Purchasing (Please comment!)
The purpose of going down the mountain this time is not just to buy food.

Rice grain, dispensing medicine, clothes for spring and summer...

There is actually some money left in the view, but this time there are a lot of things to buy, Chen Yu is a little worried that there will be enough money, so before starting to buy, he is going to go to the pharmacy to get the orange silver grass and long-eared white in his pocket. Velvet shot.

By the way, grab and pack the most important Baiyun powder first, so as to save you from forgetting later.

There are rich families behind several medicine shops in the county, and the prices are not bad, so Chen Yu chose a familiar one-the predecessor and the old Taoist also sold wild herbs in this shop.

Pingjiu Pharmacy.

Yaotong was greeting the guests, when he saw Chen Yu coming in, he hurried forward to meet him.

"This priest, do you want to buy medicine?"

He waved his hand, straight to the point and explained why he came.

"It's not about buying medicine. Pindao came into the mountain not long ago and accidentally got two herbal medicines. It's useless to think about it, so I want to ask the medicine shop how the price is. If it's suitable, I'll deal with it while the medicine power is not exhausted."

Hearing this, the drug boy responded and took Chen Yu to a room in the pharmacy.

As soon as you step in, a warm feeling spreads across the surface.

A large flying cloud cauldron was placed in the center of the room, and inside it was filled with red flames, reflecting the brightness of the room.

Chen Yu saw that there were quite a few people inside, except for a few drug servants and drug boys walking around holding porcelain dishes, most of them were dressed in gray mandarin jackets, wrapped in fur, and dressed as hunters.

A dagger is pinned to the waist, or a longbow is carried on the back, or a machete is slung across the shoulders.

All are fully armed.

In the corner, there are a lot of bamboo baskets and frame hoops piled up. If you take a few steps closer and take a look, there are mostly fresh herbs covered with dirt and sawdust.

Some of the leaves and stems were still stained with blood.

This is the real herbal picker.

The mountains are deep and deep, and there are not only all kinds of medicinal herbs, but also man-eating beasts, harmful birds of prey, and poisonous insects, snakes and pythons. People who are not serious have already become Chinese food in their mouths, and the rest of them all have blood.

Chen Yu stopped wandering around, and went straight to the counter under the leadership of the drug boy, and took out the orange silver grass and long-eared white antler.

Although the amount is not as good as other people, the middle-aged man in charge is still bright and his eyes are shining.

"The roots are huge, the ears are triangular, and the horns are four inches long."

"This snow velvet is top grade!"

Long-eared white velvet is often called snow velvet because of its snow-white roots.

After all, the person in charge is well-informed, and he can tell at a glance that this snow velvet is in good condition, and it is a good thing to nourish yang!

As for the dry orange and silver grass on one side, they were completely ignored by the other party. In the Pingjiu medicine building, there are no less than a hundred kinds of herbs every day. Even if it is seen that this orange and silver grass is mature, it is only a leaf stem without any fruit. , then it is really nothing.

"Xiao Daoist, everyone is a regular customer. Old Xu, I don't fall in love with you, let alone you. Presumably you also know that the quality of this snow velvet plant is not bad, but there are still a lot of stocks in the pharmacy that are not used up. "

The two had met several times, and the last time Chen Yu went down the mountain to sell medicine was through the hands of the other party.

This person has good eyesight and high ability to distinguish medicines, but he always likes to take advantage of small things.Regardless of whether it is raw or cooked, it will be slaughtered at every turn.

Sure enough, the other party said inside and outside that the stock of pharmacies is relatively large, and the supply exceeds demand.But before Chen Yu opened his mouth, the other party paused and added, "But recently, Mrs. Zhang, the county government, has accepted the No. 16 concubine room. The owner of the medicine is thinking about giving something, and the dry ones in the warehouse are not showing sincerity." Come on, Taoist chief, this snow velvet is very good."

"Fresh ones attract people!"

Always feeling that the other party was implying something, Chen Yu kept silent, just tapped on the wooden table, reminding the other party to stop talking nonsense.

Then I saw the manager flicking his fingers on the abacus for a while, and the next moment, he raised a finger as if he was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, and gave a 'high price'.

"How about a tael of silver?"

"...", Chen Yu squinted, glanced at the other party with the eyes of a fool, and said the first sentence he said after entering the room, "Two Liang."

"Daoist, you just do it."The manager still wants to struggle.

"Two taels and one money."

"Brother Chen, look at my relationship with Daoist Li"

"Two taels and one cent."

"Okay! We'll take this medicine!"

With a pained look on the face of the manager, Chen Yu took the money bag, weighed it twice, and rattled.

A total of two, two or four dollars.

Two liang of white antler with long ears, and four qian of dried orange and silver grass.

The currency of this world is also dominated by copper coins, but the exchange rate and purchasing power are different.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for ten pieces of silver, and one piece of silver can be made into ten cents, which is equivalent to two hundred coppers, and one copper is one penny.

That is to say, one tael of silver is worth two thousand Wen.

Of course, this exchange rate changes from time to time. Sometimes it is difficult to exchange for silver, even if it is one or two hundred coins higher, and sometimes it is only worth seventeen or eight hundred.

The number varies.

The purchasing power of coins is related to the year. In the years when there are abundant products and no natural disasters, you can buy a big bun filled with meat for four renminbi.Among them, the pork stuffing with the heaviest smell is only two pennies a piece.And if droughts and floods are frequent and wars are turbulent, let alone meat buns, even rice grains can rise to hundreds of yuan a catty!
One tael of silver is worth less than three or five catties of corn.

But it's definitely not there yet, although he guesses it won't be long.

"Two taels of silver, plus what was left before, there is a total of about thirteen taels of silver."

Estimating his own balance, Chen Yu thought for a while, and instead of leaving the pharmacy directly after leaving the house, he recruited the drug boy and asked about the approximate price of Baiyun Powder for dispensing.

Everything else is fine, except that there seems to be some problem with the medicinal materials.

"Daoist, there are not many Liu Songgen in stock, if we can wait a little longer, the price will be lower."

Unlike the petty and cheap managers, the drug boys in the pharmacy were still dedicated and did not speak indiscriminately.

It's just that Chen Yu didn't want to wait too long. He knew Liu Songgen, who grew up at the end of summer, and there were still a few months before this time. It's probably the same in Pingjiu Pharmacy without other pharmacies.God knows how long it will take until the pharmacy has the goods when they mature.

"Just grab two dollars."

"Okay, Daoist, please wait for a while."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and seven miscellaneous medicines were seized, all according to the amount he said.

With Chen Yu in his hand, he walked out of the gate.

It's not that he doesn't want to catch more, on the one hand, there are only four tangerine silver fruits, and at most two pairs can be mixed, and there are probably leftovers of these seven kinds of medicines.On the other hand, two sets of Baiyun San are enough for him to use for a long time.

Money is limited, save as much as you can.

This is also the reason why he didn't go directly to the pharmacy to buy orange silver fruit.

But Chen Yu still bought some other things.

It hangs on the waist - a bag full of medicine seeds.

The medicine seeds are worthless, especially the common ones, and he didn't buy them for the purpose of growing them, but for experimenting with ideas.Ordinary big white roots can become strange under the catalysis of inspiration, so what about these herbs?

Out of curiosity, Chen Yu planned to try it when he went back.It just so happens that after so many days, I have accumulated a few more brains in the sea of ​​consciousness, so there will be no shortage.

After buying the medicine, the next step is to buy some clothes and rations.

Recalling the location of the grain store, Chen Yu was walking when there was a sudden commotion on the street.

"Congratulations on the birthday of Wukong's old mother! Congratulations to the Holy Maiden of the Lotus Flower!"

He turned his head and saw a group of poor people in ragged clothes gathered together, kneeling or prostrating, all facing one person in front.

The man was wearing a white gauze and a moon-white robe, with a graceful figure, his exposed neck was as long as jade, and his arms were slender and white, like snow.

It is not difficult to guess that the one in front is the lotus saint in these populations.

Chen Yu looked at him, at first he was just curious, but the more he looked at his face, the weirder he looked.

　Did not expect it!The unique second update (-ω-`)
