After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 52 Friendship

A full basket of Gastrodia elata, all of which are high-quality products that have been processed. Before the stock was out, shopkeeper Yan had never seen such a good quality Gastrodia elata. I didn't expect Chen Xiuyan to carry a basket when she came.

There is no shortage of Chinese herbal medicine Chen Xiuyan, and the existence of space can be said to be an endless supply, so this time I took a lot, a full twenty catties.

"Doctor Chen didn't expect you to have so much Gastrodia." Shopkeeper Yan's eyes were completely attracted by Gastrodia, "These, are you really going to sell them all to me?"

Shopkeeper Yan knew that because of the flood in Qianxi Prefecture, the current price of gastrodia elata was ridiculously high. Some places were out of stock, some were really out of stock, and others were hoarding gastrodia elata and selling it at a high price, taking the opportunity to make a fortune.

But shopkeeper Yan didn't believe that Chen Xiuyan was such a person, and at this moment she was more flattered, since the basket weighed twenty catties.

"Yeah." Chen Xiuyan nodded, "Shopkeeper Yan must be quite angry when he sees this basket."

"Hahaha, that's for sure." Shopkeeper Yan was very happy, "Gianma is not cheap now, I will accept it at the current market price."

"Hey, saying that shows that I have a shallow relationship with shopkeeper Yan." Chen Xiuyan waved her hand, "Just charge as usual, I don't want to use this to make money, if I really want to make money, I will definitely choose to sell to people I don't know. "

Shopkeeper Yan's face beamed with joy, "That's so embarrassing, how embarrassing."

"It still has to be charged at a high price." Shopkeeper Yan rubbed his hands and said, "Thanks to Dr. Chen's blessing, the pawnbroker introduced me to many people, and I also told Dr. Chen the truth, this basket of Gastrodia elata really went into my collection. , Renjitang only needs five catties at most, and I plan to use the rest as a stepping stone or a wall ladder, and the value of these Gastrodia elata will not be estimated at that time, and I cannot let Dr. Chen suffer."

"A loss is equal to an advantage." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, "The price I sold to Shopkeeper Yan is to let Shopkeeper Yan remember me as a favor. What happens after that is all Shopkeeper Yan's own private affairs and has nothing to do with me. Shopkeeper Yan doesn't need to be so worried. I."

Shopkeeper Yan, who is as fine as a human being, can't understand why, Chen Xiuyan intends to come and go with Renjitang frequently, and to go further, this is what Shopkeeper Yan is happy to see, and finally bought all Gastrodia elata at twice the original price, and Chen Xiuyan reaped 20 taels of silver.

"Dr. Chen's great kindness, Mr. Yan will keep it in his heart, and if there is anything that can be used in the future, Doctor Chen just asks."

"Shopkeeper Yan, you are being polite. If you need my help in the future, shopkeeper Yan just asks."

"sure."

Shopkeeper Yan personally sent people to the donkey cart outside the door, and Luo Mingqing once again saw the status of his little aunt in the medical clinic.

After that, there was a lot of shopping. I bought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, and a large board of suet. Thinking of the boiled oil residue, Chen Xiuyan had already planned what to eat at night.

I bought a pack of crispy candies for Luo Mingxin who was at home, and lard and scallion pancakes for myself and Luo Mingqing, and my aunt and nephew went back to Luojiatang.

It was past noon when I got home. Chen Xiuyan changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to cook lard first. Three jars of lard were boiled out of a large plate of suet, and one jar was left in the kitchen, and the rest were left to cool. Put it in the cellar, the cellar is shady and cool, and the lard can be stored for a longer period of time.

Chen Xiuyan mixed a small bowl of boiled lard residue with sugar, and Luo Mingqing, Luo Mingxin and herself ate it happily.

The rest was chopped and mixed with dried pickled radish, added seasonings, and directly made dumplings, wrapped in three drawers, and asked Luo Mingqing to take half of the drawers to Aunt Yuan's.

When Luo Mingqing came back, he grinned and hugged the steamer. There were five plates of pastries of various colors on it, and each plate contained six pieces of pastries. what smell."

"You can eat your own share first."

"Let's eat after uncle and the others come back."

"Ming and Qing, you can make another trip, and send this half to Li Zheng's family." Chen Xiuyan said.

"okay."

Luo Mingxin did all the work at home by himself today, washing clothes, feeding chickens, feeding pigs, and even drew a big picture. Now he is eating the crispy candy brought by Chen Xiuyan.

"Wen Qian's wife, Wen Qian's wife, are you at home?"

Someone was shouting outside the courtyard, and Luo Mingxin knew who it was when he heard the voice, "Little aunt, it's Aunt Qiushou who lives closest to our house."

"I love to take advantage of small things. I must have smelled the smell of lard refining in our house to borrow lard. Lending it to her is a meat bun to beat a dog. If you borrow it, you can't repay it, and you can't borrow it."

Chen Xiuyan went to open the door, and there was a woman with inverted triangular eyes and a long, thin face standing outside the door. She was in her thirties, her small eyes were looking hard into the yard, her nose was getting closer and closer, and the inside of her grinning mouth was yellowed and out of alignment. Straight teeth.

The cloth clothes and trousers he was wearing had a lot of patches, and they were oily, and his hands were black even under the nails.

"What's the matter, aunt?" Chen Xiuyan pretended not to know who the other party was.

"Oh, how can I call you aunt, my man is the same generation as Luo Xiucai, you have to call me sister Qiushou." Chen Qiushou slapped his thigh, spoke quickly, and spit out a lot of saliva, but fortunately, Chen Xiuyan dodged nimbly.

"So it's Miss Qiushou, what do you need from me?"

"I got up late today, and I didn't catch the donkey cart to the county seat. I ran out of lard at home. I just smelled it from a distance. It's Wen Qian's wife. You are making lard. Let me borrow some from my sister. I will boil it tomorrow." I will pay you back."

"Miss Qiushou must have smelled it wrong, I didn't boil the lard." Chen Xiuyan lied with her eyes open, her expression still very persuasively puzzled.

"Not boiled? How is it possible, the smell of lard is wafting out."

"I smelled it too." Chen Xiuyan nodded in agreement, "I thought it was someone who was suffering."

Looking at Chen Xiuyan's innocent expression, Chen Qiushou was very annoyed, "Even if it's not from your family, lend me some, and I will pay you back, but it's not like I won't."

"No loan."

"What do you say?"

"I said no, I'm not willing to lend it to you, and I won't give it away." Chen Xiuyan closed the door directly in front of Chen Qiushou.

"Chen Xiuyan, don't you know who I am? I'm from Chen Family Village, the same village as you."

The door was opened again in front of Chen Qiushou, and Chen Xiuyan said calmly, "So what, don't you know my reputation before I got married, if I get in a hurry, I will go to your house to make trouble, and I will see how you resist me."

"Is it shameless to compare anyone? Or to be more aggressive than anyone else, I tell you that I can do it, so I ask you if you want to try it."

"You, you, you wait for me." Chen Qiushou blushed with anger, leaving these words and left.

"Little aunt, what did you say? Why did you make that iron rooster blush with anger?" Luo Mingqing came back with an empty bamboo drawer, just in time to see Chen Qiushou leaving.

"Oh, after a test, she is not as good as me, so she left unconvinced."
