Chapter 162

Cao's house is next door, and Cao Jingxiu is not in a hurry to leave after eating, who would have guessed.

Chang Xi is a self-disciplined child. She wanted to take a nap, so she pushed Cao Jingxiu out.

Today, only Damu and Cuihua are left to study medicine.

This was when she expected it, and there was no unexpected expression.

However, Chang Xi was still slightly surprised when he saw Xiaoyun, following her teacher's wife, coming out of the arm room.

Xiaoyun didn't say hello to them at all, and surrounded the village doctor's wife, master master, shouting sweetly and non-stop.

Damu is a boy, and he rarely communicates with girls, so he didn't show any discomfort.

Cuihua, on the other hand, knew that Xiaoyun was driven away a long time ago, and he comforted her a lot, but she never expected that she would come back again.

If another person asks for a teacher, he doesn't talk about it, and he still likes to answer them.

Cuihua panicked, her expression was not as calm as the others.

The old village doctor didn't care about their undercurrents, and just introduced a little: "Now Xiaoyun is learning to weave bamboo clothes under my wife's name."

Chang Xi made it clear with his jaw, and he will continue to look up and see him in the future.

Studying medicine requires full concentration. As soon as they started class, no one paid attention to Xiaoyun. They heard Xiaoyun's tender crying outside the house, and they didn't go to see what was going on.

Cuihua and Damu followed suit, and it was almost a month. When they left after school, Chang Xi was left alone.

"Hi girl, they are older than you, will you feel pressure to be your junior sister and younger brother?"

"No, master, don't worry, I am the first to learn, so I will naturally be a good senior sister. If their abilities surpass me, I can also call them senior sister and senior brother."

"I think, compared to age and entry time, strength is more important."

The old village doctor didn't expect her to have such insights. She was indeed a child who had studied, and her thinking was completely different from others.

She is so transparent at such a young age, it's a pity that she is a girl.

The old village doctor thought so from the bottom of his heart, looking at Chang Xi's loving eyes.

After a brief chat, Chang Xi was about to return home, when Xiao Yun chased him out as soon as he reached the door.

"Chang Xi, are you surprised to see me?"

She looked sideways in confusion: "What's so unexpected?"

Xiaoyun straightened his back a little: "Hehe, Master praised me for being very talented. You see, I am also an apprentice now."

For the first time, Chang Xi finally got a glimpse of the little girl in front of her who was speaking eccentrically to her.

"Heh, then congratulations, you should study hard after you become an apprentice."

Xiaoyun was young and had a good temper, so he gave a cold snort at Chang Xi's leaving back.

"What's so great about you?"

Although Chang Xi has started to learn martial arts, his skills are not yet high enough. He uses his internal strength and ear strength to perceive the surrounding things.

Returning home without knowing it, her mother has already returned.

Wen Furong was repacking the things she bought from the town from her back basket with a happy smile, and when she saw Chang Xi coming home, her smile deepened.

"Xibao, you don't know, the two dishes you thought of have become the most popular appetizers in the town, and Manxianglou's business is even better than before!"

"Here! What do you think these are?"

Wen Furong held a veil in both hands, and uncovered one corner, which was full of white silver.

She introduced it to her daughter like a treasure: "This ten taels of ingot was given to your father by Mr. Qin, saying that it is a reward for the person who came up with this dish."

"Your father asked me to bring it back for you."

"Let's look at this 5 taels of silver. It was a miscellaneous reward from other diners, and they were all exchanged at the bank."

"In addition, there is this ingot of 2 taels of silver, which was given by your uncle Fang."

"Your father not only has better accommodation conditions, but also his wages have increased. Although he is an apprentice, he is paid as much as a chef. Your father will take over the position of the second stove, and that is just around the corner."

When Wen Furong went to town this time, all she heard was good news.

She was so happy that she handed the money to her daughter and let her see for herself.

After Chang Xi listened to it, she asked in confusion, "Then what about the curculi that I picked? How much did it cost in the end?"

Mentioning this matter, Wen Furong withdrew her smile, she obviously didn't close the door when she took out the money just now, but now she suddenly asked Chang Ping to close the door.

The family was in the room, the door was closed and there was no light, everyone was nervous and didn't know what was going to happen.

Wen Furong tried to make her voice the softest: "I'll show you, don't shout."

Among the four siblings, Chang Le was so nervous that he covered his mouth with both hands, and the other two brothers followed suit.

Chang Xi stared at her mother without saying a word, watching her next move.

Wen Furong didn't continue to play tricks, she took out a lump of silver from her bosom.

It was several times bigger than the 10 taels, and the color was brighter. They had never seen such a big silver ingot.

"Do you know how much it is?"

Wen Furong asked, and everyone shook their heads together.

"This is 50 taels of silver, a full amount of snowflake silver!"

She introduced it herself, and it still feels like she is dreaming.

Not to mention in Chang's house, even in Lao Wen's house, no one should have touched such a pure silver ingot for generations.

Chang Xi heard that this was 50 taels of silver, and a slight strangeness crossed his mind: "Is the curculi I dig so valuable?"

She only dug a total of five curculigo, could it be said that one curculigo is worth ten taels of silver?
Wen Furong said with a smile: "I didn't have Jishitang this time. I met a master in Manxianglou. When he saw curculigo, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He insisted on buying this medicinal material to make wine."

"I don't know how much to ask for the right price, so the master gave me this ingot without saying anything."

"I was given too much money, and I felt uneasy. Later, I heard from shopkeeper Fang that he was Mr. Wang from Qishipu, and he was not short of money."

"Other people are not short of money, and that is other people's money. I still don't feel at ease, so I want to go to Wangji Kistler Shop."

"When passing by Jishitang, I deliberately asked what is the use of curculigo, and I heard from the little medicine boy there that curculigo can be met but not sought, because it almost grows together with ginseng."

"If you are lucky enough to get it, it will be a great opportunity. If you use it correctly, it can strengthen your yang and make up for your losses."

Chang Xi, who studies medicine, of course understands the meaning of strengthening yang.

It seems that Mr. Wang has a hidden disease, no wonder he is willing to spend all his money to buy medicinal materials.

Chang Xi asked without blushing, "Mother, what happened next?"

"Have you gone to Wang Ji yet?"

Accidentally discovered someone else's secret, she didn't know if the children could understand it, anyway, she was a married woman, naturally she knew more things, Wen Furong blushed slightly.

"Did not go."

Chang Xi took the initiative to reach out and took the 50 taels of silver for a closer look.

Her mother actually got 67 taels of silver when she went out, which was a huge sum of money, more than what she had earned before.

"Mother, we are rich, how big a house can these be built?"

Her question is also what other people want to know.
