The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 10
The bullock cart was padded with thick straw, and I didn't feel very bumpy when I sat on it.After walking for two hours in a bullock cart, I arrived at the branch road. To the left is Liangjia'ao, and to the right is to go to the town.From here to Liangjia'ao, it took about a quarter of an hour to walk. Banxia got off the bullock cart and walked home alone.

"Second brother, don't delay on the way, go home quickly, so that no one will rob you!" Mai Xiang was worried, and hurriedly told her.

"Eldest sister, I know, I must go home as fast as possible!" Ban Xia stopped, turned around and waved to the elder sister, signaling her to rest assured.

At noon, they finally arrived in the town. The two bid farewell to the uncle and walked to the biggest restaurant in the town.There is no way, the weather is too hot, this pork must be sold quickly.

Don't talk about game these days, even domestic chickens and ducks are hard to come by. The shopkeeper of the restaurant readily bought the [-] catties of pork.Moreover, this person was quite righteous, and he gave a relatively fair price, and sold it for a total of five taels of silver.

The sun was scorching hot, and the father and daughter walked to the county town to sell tiger skins, tiger bones and wolf skins. Mai Xiang was dizzy and very irritable.

Liang Gaoshan quickly put the burden on the side of the road, took out a gourd from Mai Xiang's back basket, and handed it to Mai Xiang: "Girl, are you tired? Come, drink some water!"

Mai Xiang weakly opened the gourd and took several sips in succession before feeling a little stronger.

Liang Gaoshan comforted with distress: "Girl, grit your teeth and persevere. Let's go faster and try to reach the county seat before the sun sets. Fortunately, we sold the pork. Otherwise, save it until the next day. The pork is about to stink, and it cannot be sold!"

Mai Xiang said weakly: "Daddy, we actually sold the money, why don't we rent a carriage and go to the county town?"

Liang Gaoshan: "Girl, the price of goods is very high now, and five taels of silver can only buy about ten catties of coarse grains. Renting a carriage from the town to the county town costs half a tael of silver. If you can save one, you can save one! I don't know if the tiger skin, tiger bone and wolf skin can be sold!"

Mai Xiang: "Father, don't worry, you can sell it when you arrive at the county seat!" There is no guarantee of a good price, but if it is sold at a low price, there must be many people who want it.

After all, Liang Gaoshan agreed to take a rest under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, and finally stopped a bullock cart going to the county town, and gave the driver two hundred coins.

In the evening, the father and daughter stood in front of the largest pharmacy in the county, half an hour before the pharmacy closed.

At this time, a middle-aged man was standing in front of the counter.

Mai Xiang hurriedly took a step forward, lowered her voice, and asked respectfully, "Uncle, does the pharmacy accept tiger bones? Tiger bones that have only been hunted for a day are very fresh!"

"Ah? Tiger bones?" The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily: "Take it, take it! How can you not take such a good thing! Please come in quickly, please go to the back hall to talk with me!"

Mai Xiang pondered for a moment, then said to Liang Gaoshan: "Father, go in with Uncle, I'll wait for you outside! Let's sell according to the price we negotiated, if it's lower, we'll sell it elsewhere!"

"Okay, don't wander around outside, be careful of kidnappers!" Liang Gaoshan nodded to his daughter, and went in with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper personally brewed a pot of good tea, and then poured a cup for Liang Gaoshan himself: "Is this elder brother thirsty? Have a cup of tea first!"

Liang Gaoshan waved his hand and declined politely: "No, I drank water just now. Let's talk about the price of tiger bones first. Please ask the shopkeeper to make a price!" tea, so as not to be recruited, and it will be troublesome if people drug them.
