Rescue system: run away from the host, calm down

Chapter 13 The First Pot of Gold
There just happened to be a market today, and the streets and alleys were extremely lively.

After getting off the ox cart, the villagers dispersed separately and made an appointment to gather here at some time.

"It turns out that going to the market is like this!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was complaining wildly to the system at this time, "See, this is the real antiquity. The scenic spots before are still intangible cultural heritage, which is far worse than this."

On both sides of the street are teahouses, wine shops, workshops and cloth houses.There are many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open space on both sides.Pedestrians are constantly on the street: some are carrying burdens on the road, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, and some are driving donkeys to pull carts, and there are crowds of people.

Cheng Rong smiled and said, "It's usually not so lively. The market in our town will only be held on the 26th, [-]th, and [-]th every month. Usually it only takes half a day, so today the common people gather to buy and sell."

"Let's go! There are two medicine halls, Baishan Medicine Hall and Baohe Hall. Baohe Hall is at the end of this street. Why don't you take a look first?"

"Okay, then let's go to Baohetang first."

At the end of the street, it is easy to see the Baohe Hall, where there are three or two people who are picking up medicine to see a doctor. Just entering the gate, I heard an old woman begging, "Dr. The old lady will send you the monthly money from the son."

Dr. Lin gave Yaotong a look, and Yaotong immediately understood.

"Go and go, if you don't have enough money to get some medicine, come back when you have enough." The drug boy chased people away very rudely, almost pushing the old woman away.

He just happened to be supported by Father Cheng who entered the door.The old woman turned her head to thank Father Cheng, but she was dragged out by the drug boy when she wanted to go forward.

The old woman refused to leave and yelled, "I'm only short of twenty copper coins, please do me a favor, I'll give you double in two days, my wife can't stop taking the medicine!"

Seeing this, everyone sympathizes with the old woman, but sympathy belongs to sympathy. Life is hard for everyone, and there is no need to do anything for strangers, except her father.

He boldly took out twenty copper coins and handed them to the old woman. The old woman thanked her repeatedly, "You are kind! The old woman kowtows to you."

"Don't be such an old man." Father Cheng hurried to help.

Come on!I didn't realize that her father was still a living prostitute.

I looked at each other with my elder brother, and shook their heads helplessly, they should get down to business!
"Excuse me, are you in charge here?"

The drug boy who chased people away just now sized up the person and said flatly, "Are you grabbing medicine or seeing a doctor?"

Although he didn't have a good impression of this medicine hall, out of politeness, Cheng Xiaoxiao said kindly, "No, we're here to sell medicinal materials, can you ask the steward to come out and have a look?"

The drug boy didn't take it seriously, "If you have any good medicine, let me see it first."

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not very happy, forget it, let's see what price he can offer.As he spoke, he took a part of Yeniuniu from Cheng Rong's back basket and carefully placed it on the counter.

The medicine boy took a look, his eyes lit up for a moment, but he suppressed it, "I thought you were selling fresh herbs, but they were already processed, but the quality is so-so, I'll give you thirty copper coins at most A catty."

Cheng Rong's eyes lit up, this Yeniuniu can be sold for thirty copper coins, and they have ten catties today, which is three hundred cash, if they can sell a large amount.
"That's it! Brother, it seems that they are not sincerely accepting our medicinal materials, let's go!" Cheng Xiaoxiao did not miss the flashing eyes of the drug boy just now.

Cheng Rong hasn't recovered yet, why is he leaving?Could it be that Xiao Xiao is not satisfied with the price.

"Hey! Don't go, little girl, the price is negotiable." Then he ran out of the counter and stopped in front of them.

"In this way, I will add five coins to you, how about 35."

Cheng Xiaoxiao disdains it, although she doesn't know the price here, nor the price of this medicinal material, but seeing the reaction of the drug boy, she also knows that he is slaughtering fat sheep.

Hearing the voice from outside, the shopkeeper came out from the back hall and asked the medicine boy what was going on, and the medicine boy explained it emphatically.

The shopkeeper saw that they were ordinary people in coarse linen clothes, and said alms: "Then give them forty! In the future, there will be medicinal materials as well."

Where did the shopkeeper get his confidence? Did the old lady say she was going to sell it?
Really, one or two looked down on people with dog eyes, ignored the people behind them, and walked straight out of the medicine hall gate.

Seeing the little girl disrespecting him so much, the shopkeeper shook his sleeve angrily, "Hmph! A bunch of muddy legs, shameless."

"What's the matter, girl, are we not selling it?" Father Cheng looked puzzled, did her girl offend the shopkeeper?

Cheng Rong guessed a little bit, "Second Uncle, let's go to Baishan Medicine Hall on another street!"

"Yes, the people in this pharmacy are not kind, so don't come here next time." She could hear the shopkeeper's words behind her, who did she look down on, and she didn't do business with people without quality.

When I arrived at Baishan Medicine Hall, this time Cheng Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to take out the medicinal materials. She went to the counter first and learned about the prices of each medicinal material. .

Cheng Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, and was about to take out the medicinal materials when he heard a kind voice from behind.

"Hey! Isn't this Cheng from Qingshan Village?"

"Doctor Xue, do you still remember me? I am Cheng Yong, the second child of the Cheng family. My mother was ill last year. Thanks to you, but I have been bothering you for a long time!"

"That's right, I remember, Second Cheng, which one of you is seeing a doctor today!" He said and looked at the two people in front of him, neither of them looked sick.

Hearing their conversation, she knew that the person in front of her was the doctor who treated her grandma, so she should know her, so she immediately changed her smiling face, stepped forward, and called sweetly, "Grandpa Xue, do you still remember me? "

He looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, "Your name is Da Ya! I haven't grown taller in a year."

Forehead!Her name is not Da Ya, this must be corrected, "Grandpa Xue, now I have a big name, and my name is Cheng Xiaoxiao, you can call me Xiao Xiao."

It's easy to have an acquaintance!As he spoke, he showed him the prepared medicinal materials.

Dr. Xue looked it over carefully, "Well, Xiao girl, you cooked the morning glory well tonight, retaining most of the medicinal effects, and the appearance is also good. The master who concocted this medicinal material is a formidable one."

Cheng Xiaoxiao said happily: "Then you see, what is the approximate value of our medicinal materials sold at the pharmacy?" Finally, someone who knows the goods.

At this time, the discerning drug boy had already invited the shopkeeper Huang out, and after some exchange of pleasantries, Cheng Xiaoxiao said that they could supply medicinal materials for a long time, and there was more than one kind, ensuring that the appearance and efficacy of the medicinal materials were similar to today's medicinal materials.

Both Shopkeeper Huang and Dr. Xue were amazed, and chatted with the little girl about the efficacy and processing techniques of the medicinal herbs, and found that the little girl was very handy, and they had never tried some methods. They wanted to know where the little girl learned it, but the little girl was cautious. Very, very vague every time, without revealing the slightest bit.
