It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 6 Ginseng Shopping
At night, the siblings of the Su family lay on the kang.

"Brother, do you want to study? Big sister will send you to a private school next year."

"Eldest sister, I don't want to go." Su Chenrui replied sullenly.

Su Rui doesn't understand what her brother thinks, it's just because she doesn't want to burden the family.

"Big sister sells the wild ginseng tomorrow, and I have money for you to study."

"Big Brother, Big Sister wants you to study and doesn't expect you to get fame. I just hope that you will be a sensible person in the future. After you study, you can teach your sisters how to read when you come back."

Su Rui reasoned with Su Chenrui earnestly.

"I'll read it carefully."

"Well, go to sleep"

Early the next morning, we had dinner.

Su Rui took Su Ying and Su Chenrui to the county.

On the way, I met Su Changying driving an ox cart, "Miss Rui, where are you going so early?"

"Uncle Chang Ying, let's go to the county."

"Come on, come up. Uncle is also going to the county."

Su Changying stopped the ox cart and waited for the Su family siblings to climb into the ox cart.

"Uncle Chang Ying, what are you doing in the county?"

"The salt at home is gone, go buy some salt." Su Changying drove the ox cart, unsteadily walking forward.

At the gate of the grocery store in the county seat, "Rui girl, come over when you finish your work, I'll wait for you here."

"Thank you, Uncle Chang Ying, we will be back soon." Su Rui took her younger siblings to the pharmacy.

"Grandpa, how much is ginseng?" Su Rui looked at Dr. Sun innocently.

Dr. Sun, looked up and down Su Rui and the three of them are not well dressed, but they are in good spirits, thinking that they are not a family that is short of food.

慢悠悠的开口道“现在只有30年、50年和80年的，30年的60两，50年的120两，80两的则需要260两了。”

"You mean the older the price, the higher the price"

Su Rui said as she took out the wild ginseng wrapped in the basket. "Then how much do you think this is worth?"

"This is wild ginseng. It's at least 100 years old. I can give you 350 taels." Dr. Sun stroked his beard and squinted his eyes.

"Grandpa, you are not kind. The 80-year-old is more than double the 50-year-old, and it is only 100 taels more in 90 years?" Su Rui took the wild ginseng and wrapped it up, and was about to go out.

"400 taels, no, 500 taels." Dr. Sun hurriedly stopped Su Rui who was about to leave.

"700 taels"

"No, no, 700 taels is too much. I will give you 600 taels at most. This price is in the entire county, and only our Huichuntang can afford it!"

"Deal" Su Rui smiled.

The last time I came here, Su Rui found that only Huichuntang's pharmacy in Pingyang County was the largest and had a good evaluation.

"Wait for me to get you the bank note"

"Grandpa, I want 300 taels of silver notes, 20 taels of gold, and the remaining 100 taels of silver ingots for 50 taels, and broken silver for 50 taels." Su Rui said calmly.

Dr. Sun glanced at it in astonishment, and thought, "This girl will definitely do great things in the future. I gave you 50 taels more today. It is always good to make a good fortune."

"This is 300 taels of silver bills, 200 taels of gold, one tael each, a total of twenty, 50 taels of silver ingots, one five taels, a total of ten, and the remaining 50 taels of silver in this purse." Su The doctor handed over the money to Su Rui, picked up the wild ginseng and observed it carefully, the more you look at it, the better.

"Doctor Sun, there is still wild ginseng at home, do you want to take it?"

Su Rui saw that Mrs. Sun was of good quality, and she didn't withhold money. Although the price was suppressed severely before, but after experiencing modern profiteers, it's still good in comparison. After all, they didn't hold back the payment.

"And? Are they all this big?" Dr. Sun was surprised, did she find a wild ginseng nest?
"Almost, but it will take a while." Su Rui replied without raising her head, and took out a few taels of silver, carefully wrapped the rest, and put them under the back basket, in fact, they put them into the space casually.

"Yes, as long as there is one, I will send it over, and I will definitely give you a fair price. The old man's surname is Sun, and if you come to look for it, you can tell me."

"Okay, let's go then, see you again, Grandpa Sun."

"Big sister, we are rich now." Su Chenrui asked excitedly.

"Yes, you will be able to go to private school next year. Now you can rest assured..."

Su Chenrui rubbed his nose embarrassedly and smiled.

"Later, let's go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth and some needlework."

"Well, I will learn to make clothes for the eldest sister in the future." Su Ying smiled.

"Miss, what do you need, my lord?" The man greeted warmly.

"How are the prices calculated?" Su Rui and Su Wan looked around.

"A piece of coarse cloth costs [-] Wen, and a piece of fine cotton cloth costs a penny."

"Let's have a look at the stone blue fine cloth, indigo blue, lotus root color, snow blue color and apricot color." Su Rui chose the fabrics of the siblings at this time.

"Sister, I think the big red one is so beautiful, even more gorgeous than the dress worn by sister Yuzhi from my aunt's family before she got engaged."

Su Ying looked at the red cloth with envy in her eyes. Su Ying knew that they were still in their filial piety and could not wear red, but that didn't stop her from liking to look at it.

"I need one of each of these styles, one of the bright red one, thirty catties of cotton, and a set of needles and threads of various colors."

Su Ying turned her head sharply, and looked at the eldest sister, the joy in her eyes was not fake.

Su Rui couldn't bear to see the little girl's pitiful look, since she was her sister Su Rui, she would have what others had!
"Father and mother have not passed the filial piety period, so you can't wear it. But you can do it first, and you can wear it when the filial piety period expires next year."

"A piece of dark blue and purple fine cloth is six feet long, and you need four pieces each. You also need one piece of gray blue coarse cloth.

Seeing that the elder sister was about to ask for it, Su Ying hurriedly said, "Elder sister bought too much..."

Although selling ginseng today got a lot of money, the little girl was still reluctant to spend so much.

Su Rui stroked the little girl's soft hair soothingly, "Buy more today, we won't come out a year ago. Besides, Uncle Chang Ying drove the ox cart today, so you can put it down..."

Su Rui was afraid that Uncle Chang Ying would be in a hurry, so she discussed with the shopkeeper and delivered the bought fabrics to the door of the grocery store.

Su Chenrui followed.

Su Rui passed by the bookstore, and suddenly thought that her elder brother would be studying next year, so she quickly bought a few enlightenment books, as well as paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

Ancient books are really expensive, and a book like Qionglin for Children's Learning with only a few pages, and a thousand-character essay cost a tael of silver each.No wonder it is said that it is difficult for children from poor families to be talented, not because they are poor in ability, but because they cannot afford books.

Su Rui ran to the bun shop non-stop again and bought twenty big meat buns.The ancient steamed stuffed buns were filled with solid meat, very solid.

Hyundai's straight-up fiasco...

When he arrived at the door of the grocery store, Uncle Chang Ying was staring at the piles of cloth on the bullock cart in a daze.

"Rui girl, you bought too much..."

"Uncle Chang Ying, there aren't many. Our siblings have to make clothes. Chen Rui will be eight years old after the Chinese New Year. He needs to sleep by himself and make bedding." Su Rui settled the account for Uncle Chang Ying.

Su Changying thought it was true.

Su Rui handed the bought meat buns to Su Changhai three, and the second sister and elder brother ate one each.

"This, girl Rui, take it back and feed it to your siblings." Su Changying was embarrassed to eat it.
"Uncle Chang Ying, you are welcome. It will take two hours to go back, so I can eat something to fill my stomach. Besides, there are still some for my younger siblings."

After Su Rui finished speaking, without waiting for Su Changying to refuse again, she turned and went into the grocery store.

Su Changying ate one bun, it was so delicious that she could bite off her tongue, and the other two were reluctant to eat it, so they could give each of the children a taste of it when they took it home.

At home, Su Qiao was holding the well-behaved Xiao Liu in her arms, and Su Wan was sitting beside her, looking out the door expectantly...
