After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 5
Lu Daxiong didn't speak, just stared at her for a while, and then said in a muffled voice: "Don't take any more risks in the future."

Chen Xingyan nodded, and took advantage of the situation: "How about you go with me next time? This way, even if there is danger, you can protect me."

Lu Daxiong frowned and said nothing.

Chen Xingyan went to bed very early that night, and was also very heavy.

She understood that this was because of her overdrawn abilities, and because she couldn't replenish her energy in time, that's why it happened.

It seems that if you use it once, you will not be able to use it for several days.

Anyway, it's better than not being able to use it even once!
At least, now I have to rely on this to find her a baby, not to mention big fish and meat, but at least it will be good for her to eat a bowl of white rice.

The next morning, when Chen Xingyan woke up, he felt that he had recovered a lot. Although he still couldn't mobilize his abilities, at least he didn't have a headache anymore.

After breakfast, Lu Daxiong took her to the entrance of the village for a ride in an ox cart.

It is about five or six miles from here to the town, and Lu Daxiong usually walks by himself, but today there is Chen Xingyan, he knows that this person is delicate, so he just took a bullock cart.

Riding an ox cart requires paying copper coins, not much, one penny per person per trip.

It's just that the village is poor, so most people choose to walk to the town by themselves. Occasionally, some people have too many things to bring, so they choose to take a bullock cart.

The last time Mrs. Wang took Lu Xiaoniu to fetch medicine, he also walked there by himself.

After this journey, Chen Xingyan had a deeper understanding of this place.

It's not that Lujia Village is particularly poor, but that the neighborhood is poor.

When we arrived in the town, the coachman told everyone the time to go back and the place to take the car, and then we went about our own activities.

A total of four people took the bullock cart on the way they came this time.

Chen Xingyan didn't know them well, so he didn't talk to them along the way, mainly because he was worried that they would recognize her foreign accent, and then look at her curiously.

Lu Daxiong took her to a place called 'Renshan Medical Clinic', "I have inquired about it, and this medical clinic has the best reputation, and the price it offers is also fair."

Chen Xingyan nodded. She didn't understand the market, so she naturally wanted to choose a reliable one.

When the doctor inside heard about their intentions, he proposed to have a look at the quality of the medicinal materials first.

Some farmers who collect herbs do not understand the properties of the medicine at all, and may damage the most valuable part of the medicinal material, which will damage the properties of the medicine.

The doctor in this hospital is surnamed Wang, and he is about in his early thirties. He looks gentle, not like a doctor, but more like a scholar.

"That's right, your gastrodia elata is well preserved, and it's not too small. We collect this kind of gastrodia elata that has just been dug up here, and it costs about [-] yuan a catty. If you make it yourself, the price will be higher." .”

Chen Xingyan understood that the Gastrodia elata is still wet now, and if it is processed later, it will cost a lot of money.

"We understand, and ask Doctor Wang to help us see how many we can have."

Doctor Wang asked his little drug boy to bring the scale, and finally fiddled with the abacus a few times.

"It's nine catties and seven taels. I'll calculate it for you at nine and a half catties. Adding in these licorice, it's 320 five Wen in total."

Chen Xingyan understood. This is a scale of 16 taels per catty, so if it is half a catty, it should be eight taels. From this point of view, Doctor Wang took care of them.

"Thank you, Doctor Wang."

"You're welcome, there are still such good medicinal materials in the future, you can just bring them, I will definitely not treat you badly."

"it is good."

Lu Daxiong got two slings of money all at once, while Lu Daxiong was happy, he also looked at the daughter-in-law he picked up differently.

Chen Xingyan, on the other hand, watched Lu Daxiong put the two strings heavily into the back basket, and always felt that these things were really inconvenient to carry around.

This is too heavy!
In the past, I just heard that the ancients would wear copper coins, but today it is an eye-opener.

Chen Xingyan originally thought that a hanging coin was worth one hundred coins, but when he saw these copper coins, he realized that they were 160 copper coins strung in a string with hemp rope, so why not one hundred coins?
Unconsciously, Chen Xingyan also asked the doubts in his heart.

Lu Daxiong knew that she was from a better background, perhaps because she was used to spending money and hadn't used copper coins much, so she didn't know about this level at all.

"Our Dazhi mostly uses gold, silver and copper as currency. Gold and silver are counted in taels, and copper coins are counted in catties, taels, and qian. Ten copper coins are one tael, and 16 taels are one catty. Therefore, 160 coins are one catty, for convenience. Carrying, and for the convenience of transactions, they are strung together, called a string of money, a hanging money, and consistent money."

Chen Xingyan understood.

So, a sling of money is 160 Wen, just because it is a catty?
Chen Xingyan shook his head, it doesn't matter, as long as he remembers that a catty is 16 taels.

They got two pennies today, which is no small sum.

It is rare for ordinary people to see so many copper coins all at once.

Lu Daxiong first took Chen Xingyan to buy some daily necessities she needed, and even specially bought her a bottle of balm.

Chen Xingyan was led by Lu Daxiong, and he quickly walked around the town.

The fact is that the town is too small, and there is only one street that is more lively. People from various villages usually come to the market, mainly on this street.

"I just passed the market yesterday, so today is not particularly lively."

Chen Xingyan nodded, looked around, then tugged on Lu Daxiong's sleeve and said, "I saw someone setting up a stall with a basket, is it the same in the usual market?"

Lu Daxiong nodded, "Almost."

After speaking, he directly dragged her into a grain store.

Chen Xingyan's eyes widened, and he whispered, "What are you doing here?"

"Buy some rice."

Lu Daxiong weighed the copper coins in his hand and bought ten catties of rice.

Chen Xingyan was terrified, "Why did you buy so much? I'm afraid there won't be much of the money we finally earned."

"Don't be afraid, I have money."

Chen Xingyan knew the stubborn bear's temper, and glared at him angrily, but the person concerned obviously didn't take it seriously.

On the way back, the two aunts who had been in the car together before came, seeing smiles on their faces, it should be that all the things they brought over were sold out.

"Hey, Big Bear, you bought so many things!"

Lu Daxiong gave a muffled hum, and stopped talking.

That aunt was obviously also a talkative, and she kept secretly looking at Chen Xingyan's face on the way here, but because Chen Xingyan was wearing a bamboo hat, the other party couldn't see her face clearly.

"Big Bear, your daughter-in-law has already moved in, when will you serve wine?"

Another aunt also became interested when she heard it, "Yes, Big Bear, when are you going to have a drink and say something, we'll go over and help you decorate your new house!"
