Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 25 A roar of injustice
The shopkeeper opened it and saw that it was indeed Dendrobium officinale, and he was a little more puzzled: "How did you find it?"

"I met it when I was collecting herbs. I don't know if the shopkeeper accepts the dendrobium?" She had always expected the dendrobium to be sold at a good price.

The shopkeeper looked at it carefully and said: "When you picked this Dendrobium, you had better pick the root directly, so that I can still plant it. Dendrobium is more difficult to see and has higher medicinal value, so the price is naturally very expensive. This plant looks good. That's right, I'll just talk about the price, if you sell it, it will be five hundred Wen."

Five hundred Wen... Xia Qinghe was surprised, the price had exceeded her previous expectation.

"Sell, of course." She said repeatedly, fearing that the shopkeeper would repent. She didn't know the specific price of this item, but five hundred Wen already made her happy, and it was completely within the range she could accept.

The shopkeeper gave Xia Qinghe a gentle smile, but she looked at Xia Qinghe with admiration. A little girl knew that it was Dendrobium candidum, and also knew that this plant was different from ordinary medicines. It was wrapped in cloth alone, which meant that she knew medicine.

He asked appreciatively: "Little girl knows medicine at such a young age, did any of your adults come with you?"

Xia Qinghe's face darkened slightly when he talked about his family members, and his mood suddenly became depressed. Even his face was much uglier than before.

The shopkeeper secretly blamed himself, maybe he asked something that shouldn't be asked, so he hurriedly said: "I don't mean anything else, if it's inconvenient for you..."

Xia Qinghe smiled wryly and said, "I live in Kaoshan Village. We encountered banditry there, and there are only two people left in the family, so..." She had a bitter look on her face, and she couldn't help but sigh when she thought of what happened to her.

The shopkeeper felt a lot of sympathy for Xia Qinghe, and also complained that he asked something he shouldn't have asked.

"I didn't mean it. Please don't mind if I offend you." The shopkeeper apologized sincerely.

Xia Qinghe was relieved: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to apologize, you didn't mean it in the first place, and life has to go on. Fortunately, I know a lot of herbs, so I went to the mountain to pick some."

She planned to continue to pick herbal medicine, as long as the medicine hall charges much, it doesn't matter, now that she lacks money, even if she wants to make a fortune, she needs capital, and it will be the coldest time soon, and the ragged jacket on her body is not If you don’t keep warm, what if it’s really the coldest time?She didn't dare to think about it.

Moreover, she was also afraid of wearing other people's ragged clothes all the time, and she was covered with ragged quilts. Even if she wanted to wash the quilt, she was afraid of not doing it for a few days.

She now dreams of changing the quilt and the clothes she is wearing.

The shopkeeper sympathized with Xia Qinghe's experience. He is the shopkeeper and a doctor. He heard about the banditry in the village earlier. Things, in the final analysis, are all caused by poverty. I need herbs here, and I need all kinds of herbs. If you want to sell herbs for a living, you can send them to me for a try, but the price is not very high. I have to make it clear. After all, anyone can pick the herbs you sent, but if there are any good things like dendrobium, they must be sent to me."

Xia Qinghe felt that he had met a good person. The shopkeeper Liao he met just now, and the shopkeeper of the medicine hall he met now are all good people: "I don't know the shopkeeper's name."

After talking for so long, I didn't know what the shopkeeper's name was. After thinking about it, I would have to deal with it in the future, so I asked politely.

"Others call me shopkeeper Yao, it's just that the girl followed Xiaotong out to get money."

The little boy who was speaking just now had already weighed all the herbs, and when Xia Qinghe followed him out, he crackled and said something to a young boy, who fiddled with the abacus deftly, and said after a while: "A total of 510 pennies in total. .”

Xia Qinghe was inevitably disappointed, half a basket of medicinal herbs was only eleven cents, and it was true that ordinary medicinal herbs were not worth much.

The boy raised his head and said, "Do you want broken silver or copper?"

Five hundred copper plates are a lot and heavy, and it's inconvenient to carry them around. Xia Qinghe said without thinking, "Broken silver."

The young man's smile was very warm. He took out half a tael of broken silver from the counter, counted a dozen more copper coins, and handed them to Xia Qinghe together.

This was the first time Xia Qinghe saw broken silver. It was a very small piece. She quickly wrapped it in a cloth bag and put it in her bosom. together.

After thanking him, he left the door of the medicine hall, but as soon as he went out, he met Yuan Shi.

Well, it's true that if friends don't get together, they can meet Yuan Shi wherever they go.

Yuan Shi looked at Xia Qinghe with some surprise. She stood on tiptoe and took a look at Xia Qinghe's back basket, but saw that there was no medicine bag in the back basket, so she knew that Xia Qinghe didn't come to pick up medicine, what did she come to the medicine hall for?She suddenly remembered that Xia Qinghe still had half a basket of grass in her back basket.

She frowned and looked at Xia Qinghe in disbelief, and asked in surprise, "That half of your basket just now was medicine?"

She didn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it, mainly because she felt that Xia Qinghe should be that kind of delicate young lady, who used to live a life of wearing clothes to eat and mouth, and to put it bluntly, she was a poor person who relied on her parents.

And now that she left her parents and lived in a farmhouse, she must have tightened her stomach and waited to die, but she didn't want to know herbs, which completely overturned her cognition!

Xia Qinghe rolled her eyes at Yuan Shi, she didn't like Yuan Shi's tone of voice every time she spoke, and the way she looked down on others with her eyes high above her head.

She didn't want to talk to Yuan Shi, she looked at Zhu Xiaochang who was sitting not far away and said, "Xiao Chang, let's go."

Seeing that Xia Qinghe ignored her and wanted to leave, Yuan Shi stretched out her hand and stopped in front of Xia Qinghe: "You are not allowed to leave."

Xia Qinghe wanted to avoid Yuan Shi, but Yuan Shi seemed to be trying to compete with her deliberately, blocking her in front of her so that she could not move forward.

She stared at Yuan Shi dissatisfied: "Aren't you annoying? Can I tell you what I do?"

Yuan Shi snorted and poohed on the ground, a little dissatisfied: "You must tell me what's wrong! I can tell you, little girl, don't provoke me, if you provoke me, you will not be able to stay in the village." go down."

Zhu Xiaochang had a big opinion on Yuan Shi. It was fine to bully Xia Qinghe at home before, but now he is still bullying Xia Qinghe outside. He pushed Yuan Shi away and roared: "Get out!"

This sound can be said to be full of anger, and Yuan Shi was stunned by the roar. Zhu Xiaochang pulled Xia Qinghe and myself from behind, and protected Xia Qinghe in front: "If you provoke me again, believe it or not, you will burn your house down."

Yuan Shi didn't expect Zhu Xiaochang to behave like this, and even threatened her, this is some idiot she knew before.
