Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 8: Going to the market ([-])
Xu Xiaomi rolled her eyes at the man who told her to fuck off regardless of her appearance.

The people entering the city crowded over behind him, but the man didn't pay attention to the behavior of her child, he was busy collecting money!
Xu Xiaomi turned around and saw her father's sad face, she felt unspeakably sad, if the family had money, why would her father let her a child in to save a copper coin?
The father also looked at her and waved to her helplessly and said, "Go! I'll wait for you here, go and come back!"

Xu Xiaomi didn't say anything, just took her things and walked towards the city with heavy steps, constantly slandering in her heart: In this evil old society, poor people have to pay money to enter every city, I, Li Rongrong, must get out here Come on, don't be a poor person and let others bully you.

After entering the city, there are a lot of people in the city, which can be described as a sea of ​​people, and small vendors keep calling for buying.

There are only three places for Xu Xiaomi to go, one is to go to the pharmacy to sell Wuniang vine; the other is to pawn the clothes brought back from the Zhang family; the third is to go to the rice store to buy some grain.

But she didn't know where any of these places were.So, she walked behind a few people who had just entered the city, watching as she walked, and these people around her seemed to be honest people.

She has been engaged in foot therapy for the past few years, and the people who come and go there can be described as a mixed bag. She has also learned a lot here, how to treat people, watch people talk, and look at their faces.

Seeing that these people were not cunning, she stepped forward and asked an old man pushing a wheelbarrow. In ancient times, women in the countryside rarely went out, so she could only choose older people to inquire.

"Master, do you know how to get to the pharmacy?"

"Oh! Medicine store! I know! It depends on which medicine store you go to. There are three big medicine stores in Qinglong Town.

Wealthy people go to "Huichuntang" on South Street and "Baicaotang" on East Street. People without money like us go to "Tongrentang" on North Street to find Dr. Qiu. The consultation fee is less... "The old man said endlessly, knowing everything.

"Oh! Thank you! Which street do we belong to now?" Xu Xiaomi continued to ask.

"This is West Street when we enter the city, and the people living here are poor people. Well, I'm here, little girl, you go to North Street, go to the intersection in front of it and turn left." After finishing speaking, the old man pushed The wheelbarrow walked into an alley.

Xu Xiaomi walked through the intersection as the old man said, but she didn't turn left
Instead, it went to the right.

She knew that people in the Celestial Dynasty believed in Feng Shui very much, and determined their living environment according to their orientation.Since ancient times, the dragon chairs of emperors have always faced south and backed north.

And the courtiers cannot sit in the same direction as the emperor, so the dignitaries can only avoid the north direction.

Then to the left is north, and to the right is south. She, a man from a wealthy family, needs a lot.So, she wanted to go to the south first.

After passing the crossroads and walking about 20 meters, I saw a plaque hanging above the gate of the tall Huichuntang with the words "Huixuntang" written in gold-plated characters. Anyone who comes here to see a doctor must have a money people.

.While thinking this way, she raised her foot and walked up the steps.At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy wearing blue sackcloth came out from the inside and said to her, "Go, go, this is not where you came from, go away!"

Seeing the humble look of this little dog, Xu Xiaomi got angry and said, "Brother, when you do business, you are a customer. Does the boss know that you treat customers like this?"

She startled the chap when she said that.Usually, when he saw poor people wearing tattered and patched clothes come here, they would drive like this.

Every time he said this, those people just looked at him unwillingly and walked away silently.But I've never seen Xu Xiaomi speak so sharply that he was speechless.

Seeing that he was speechless, Xu Xiaomi walked to the door and asked beside him, "Is this how you treat guests in Huichuntang?"

The guy looked at her and shouted angrily: "What does this have to do with you? Get out! Stop talking to me here!" After speaking, he turned and prepared to go in.

Xu Xiaomi stepped forward and said, "I have business to discuss with your boss..."

Seeing that she still wanted to continue, the man said fiercely: "Get out! We don't do business with beggars here, you have to beg for food and go to other places..."

"Cough...cough...Changsheng, what's the matter? Are you making noise?" He heard a slightly old voice coming from the hall.

The guy named Chang Sheng hurriedly bowed and stood at the door and replied: "Mr. Hui, she is a little girl, dressed in rags, and lied that she has business to discuss."

Hearing what the man said, Xu Xiaomi said to the door: "Sir, you trust me, I have the medicinal materials you need here, if you don't believe me, you can come out and have a look."

I only heard the people inside say: "Changsheng let her in!"

The guy named Changsheng reluctantly said: "Come in!" and then retreated to the back.

Xu Xiaomi walked in and saw a dozen people sitting inside, both men and women in gorgeous clothes.Sitting next to a brightly painted desk is an old man in his 60s wearing a dark blue satin gown with a blue square scarf on his head.

Feeling the pulse of a middle-aged man in silver clothes.What she wears here is in stark contrast to the people here.She wouldn't want to if she could.

Everyone in the room looked at her with disdain, and the old doctor looked at her and motioned for her to sit down first.Xu Xiaomi wasn't afraid, and walked to a long bench generously and sat down.

She thought it would make her wait a long time, and let her be discriminated against enough before she would talk to her!Who knew that she just sat down and put the motherless vine by her feet, the old doctor immediately put down the patient's hand and walked over in two steps, reached out to pick up the motherless vine on the ground and looked carefully: "Little girl, what are you doing?" What is it?"

Seeing his eyes, Xu Xiaomi knew something was going on, and said to him calmly, "This is the motherless vine!"

"Do you know what effect this has?" The old doctor asked with interest.

"Know a little bit!" Xu Xiaomi looked into his eyes and said.

This time, Chuntang is the largest pharmacy in Qinglong Town, and the doctors attending the consultation are all famous.Let's take Dr. Moyu who is located in front of me as an example!

He is the boss of this Huichuntang and the doctor in charge.He was a famous talent in Jinquan County more than 30 years ago!
Because, born in a medical family, he did not go to the scientific examination after becoming a scholar.Instead, I ran this pharmacy with my wife at home, and it took decades in a flash.

Therefore, he is an important figure in Qinglong Town!I heard that the emperor asked him to work as a medical officer in the palace, but he politely declined.

He said to the emperor: "My lord, the student is not the only son in the family. My father is old and the student should go back to his hometown to honor his parents and inherit his father's mantle..." The emperor was moved by his filial piety and let him drop out of school and become a doctor.

Later, once the prince, the current emperor, got a strange disease, and notices were posted all over the country to reward famous doctors. Many doctors could not be cured, but the then emperor and now the emperor beheaded him.

Recently, it was cured by Dr. Yu.When the emperor was happy, he rewarded a lot of gold, silver and jewelry and a gold-plated plaque "Rejuvenation Hall".

This doctor Yu specializes in some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, including male and female infertility.There is a lack of mother-free vines here. He used to step on the mountains by himself when he was young.

He didn't allow medicinal material merchants to supply them because these people are unreliable, they value profit, and as long as others give them money, they don't have to be principled in what they do or say.

Every doctor has his own secret recipe, and he is no exception.Therefore, the motherless vine he had stepped on in the past two years was gone.It is not appropriate for him to go up the mountain alone when he is too old. All the medicinal materials he used to step on by himself are now purchased from the market.

Speaking of which, no one sold this motherless vine before Xu Xiaomi, and I don't know if it was because they didn't know each other?Still think it's worthless?

Doctor Yu finally saw Xu Xiaomi selling this thing today, not much!This thing can only be found in Qinglong Mountain, and you have to walk a little deeper to step on it.

But in the past few years, it has been reported that there are monsters in Qinglong Mountain, and few people may go in.This girl brought the medicinal materials he was short of. I don't know how much she will sell for a catty, so let's ask first!

So, standing in front of Xu Xiaomi, he squeezed his beard with one hand and asked, "Little girl, how much do you sell this motherless vine for a catty?"

"How much do you charge for a catty of plantain?" Xu Xiaomi doesn't know the value of the money here, but she knows to use the value she knows to estimate.

Therefore, she will ask the price of plantain, because she knows that in modern times, plantain is a common medicinal material, and the market price is only one or two yuan per catty.

Doctor Yu thought this girl was interesting and said with a smile, "Do you still have plantains to sell?"

"Not today, first tell me how much do you charge for a pound of plantain?" Xu Xiaomi asked persistently.

"I charge eight copper coins per catty for plantain!" Seeing her insistence, Yu Zhimo had no choice but to tell her.Xu Xiaomi's heart quickly felt low after a little folding.

To Zhimo said: "Doctor, please give me twenty copper coins per catty!"

"Oh! You don't want to ask for more?" Yu Zhimo asked with a smile.

"I want to! But will you give it?" Xu Xiaomi also asked with a smile.Just kidding, what her family lacks is money, if you can give more, of course it would be great!

Yu Zhimo laughed loudly after hearing this: "Hahahaha, girl is interesting, can I give you 21 yuan per catty?"

"Okay! Thank you doctor! Next time I step on it, I will bring it to you!" Xu Xiaomi said happily.

"Hahahaha! Well, let's make a deal. Next time, I'll want as much as you have, as well as the plantain. You have to clean it up!" Yu Zhimo said happily.

"Changsheng, take it and weigh it!"

Changsheng came out from the back and took the Wuniangteng from Xu Xiaomi's hands. When he walked to the back hall, Xu Xiaomi also followed in. Seeing him weigh him, he said, "Eight catty nine taels, come and take the bill!"

Xu Xiaomi came out with Changsheng, and Yu Zhimo personally asked how much it was, and then gave the money.Xu Xiaomi didn't expect that Wuniangteng could sell for one hundred and eighty-six dollars.
