Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 28
At this time, the sky gradually brightened.The air gradually became hot, and the wind blowing from afar was no longer cool and comfortable.Feng Yao walked quickly under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, listening to the rustling of the wind blowing through the trees, mixed with the rising sound of cicadas, smelling the fragrance of the grass and trees, she felt a little happy in her heart.

In the previous life, have you ever felt so leisurely and happy?Even when you are on vacation, you must always turn on the communication machine to cope with unexpected tasks.I didn't feel anything before, but since traveling to ancient times, Feng Yao felt from the bottom of her heart that this kind of free life is really wonderful!

Half enjoying the steps, gradually, the outline of Huangsha Town came closer.

"Hehe—" A series of women's laughter came from behind.It was the women and girls of Moshui Village who arrived in the ox cart first.Almost with Feng Yao, they reached the gate of the city.

Feng Yao glanced at it from the corner of her eye, but she didn't see the sister-in-law of the Zheng family, so she ignored it.After passing the inspection at the gate of the city, I went inside with a small basket on my back.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the streets were full of traffic and people coming and going.Feng Yao followed her memory and walked towards the East Street.East Street is the most prosperous street in Huangsha Town, selling rouge powder, spices, grain, tea, cloth and so on.

After going around a few streets and walking for about two quarters of an hour, Feng Yao came to a spice shop.Stand still and look up.I saw two large characters written on the door plaque: Chen Ji.

"Little lady, what do you want to buy? Why don't you come in and have a look?" I saw Fengyao standing outside the door with a basket on her back, and the clerk inside hurriedly greeted with a smile.

Feng Yao withdrew her gaze, raised her footsteps and walked into the shop.The shop is not big, only about ten square meters, with baskets filled with various seasonings placed against the walls on both sides.Feng Yao looked in turn, and saw onions, ginger, garlic, Chinese pepper, cinnamon, sugar, rapeseed oil, vinegar, etc., neatly arranged.

"Little lady, what are you going to buy?" There are not many customers coming to the door at this moment, and the shop assistants surrounded Feng Yao enthusiastically, asking non-stop.

Feng Yao didn't answer, she raised her head and turned her eyes to the inside of the shop. Sitting on the rocking chair, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and meditated, and said, "Is this the shopkeeper?"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Feng Yao.With the light behind her, she couldn't see Fengyao's face clearly, she only saw her slender figure, so she laughed: "Pretty lady, why are you calling me?"

Hearing his frivolous words, Feng Yao frowned, and suppressed a trace of displeasure: "I have a good seasoning here, but it happens that the shopkeeper doesn't have it here. I wonder if the shopkeeper intends to buy it?"

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Chen was a little interested when he heard the words, so he asked, "What seasoning does Pretty Lady have? Why don't you take it out and have a look." As he said this, he didn't get up from the rocking chair, and still swayed leisurely .

Although Chen Ji has a small shop, it is one of the best seasoning shops in Huangsha Town.Although Feng Yao didn't like his attitude, she didn't take it to heart.She came here only for business, and everything else was trivial.

What's more, with a pretty face, it is inevitable to be molested.Since it's just cheap talk, don't bother.Feng Yao took off the pannier, took out a handful of star anise from it, and put it on the small square table in front of shopkeeper Chen: "Take a look, shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Chen was lying on the rocking chair, squinting at Feng Yao who was approaching.It was only when they were far away that they could only see a slim figure.At this time, when he got closer, he saw Feng Yao's soft and charming appearance, and he couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart. "Let me take a look—" Shopkeeper Chen squinted his eyes, seemingly observing the anise, but in fact stretched out his hand to cover Feng Yao's.

Feng Yao didn't expect him to be so bold, she suddenly sank her face, and quickly withdrew her hand.However, even so, the back of the hand was still touched a little.His face turned cold, and his voice suddenly became cold: "How does the shopkeeper look at it? If you want to buy it, it's fifty cents and one tael, the same price."

"What?" Before shopkeeper Chen could speak, the young man shouted, "Fifty cents a tael? Doesn't it cost five hundred cents a catty? The most expensive seasoning here doesn't have this price, you little lady." The asking price is too dark!"

Feng Yao said coldly: "The scientific name of this thing is star anise. It is not only a good seasoning, but also a good food for health. It is good for the liver, kidney, spleen, and stomach. Only I know the place of production of this thing. The price is reasonable. You guys If I don’t buy it, I’m leaving.”

Although Fengyao really wanted to make this business, but shopkeeper Chen not only took advantage of her tongue, but also played tricks on her, but he couldn't bear it.This business, do not do worth mentioning!

"Don't worry, little lady!" Seeing that Feng Yao wanted to leave, shopkeeper Chen stood up immediately, and stopped him with a smile, "I wonder how many of these things my lady has?" Although the shopkeeper's character is not good, he has some skills.I just took the star anise and sniffed it under my nose, and immediately understood the value, and said with some emotion: "If the quantity is large, the price can be negotiated."

Feng Yao picked up the basket and said in a cold voice, "Fifty Wen a tael, the price is the same. I only sell two catties this time, nothing more."

"Little lady, why are you so old-fashioned? I see that you have seven or eight catties in this basket at least. If you don't sell it to me, could it be—" Shopkeeper Chen winked at the young man, and the two gradually put Fengyao in between. in the middle.

There are several seasoning shops in Huangsha Town, although Chen Ji is one of the best, but it is not the only one.In order to prevent the business from falling to the neighbors, shopkeeper Chen immediately decided to buy all the star anise.

"Things are mine, and I can sell them to whomever I want." Feng Yao's eyes flashed sarcasm, and she had already seen through shopkeeper Chen's dirty thoughts: "Could it be that shopkeeper Chen has an opinion?"

"Where, just tell the little lady that it's better to be smooth when doing business." Shopkeeper Chen said while signaling the boy to grab the back basket.He stretched out his hand lewdly, and touched Feng Yao's face.I thought in my heart, this little lady is so beautiful, and she came here alone, she is like a fat meat delivered to her door, she will not eat it for nothing!

With a cold snort, Feng Yao didn't turn her head back, a scorpion swung its tail and kicked firmly on the boy's stomach!At the same time, she quickly raised her hand, and slapped shopkeeper Chen's old face: "You are so courageous, plan on my aunt's head!" She didn't care about him when she touched her hand earlier.At this time, he was so bold as to bully her face, treating her like a little sheep?

After being slapped, shopkeeper Chen was stunned for a moment, and then annoyance flashed in his eyes: "Bitch—"

As soon as I said a word, I heard a "slap" in my ear, but it was another slap on the face!I only felt a pain in my gums, and I opened my mouth and spit out a tooth!Shopkeeper Chen was frightened and angry. He just raised his hand when he heard a cold voice beside his ear saying, "Grandma doesn't show her power, she treats me as a sick cat? Don't inquire about it, grandma's reputation in the past!"

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Feng Yao.I saw that soft and charming face was clearly full of coldness, where was the soft little lady, she was clearly the female bandit who occupied the mountain as the king!Could it be that this little lady really has some background?
Surprised and suspicious, shopkeeper Chen did not dare to act rashly.Just at the right time, Feng Yao quickly tapped on both shoulders with a few fingers, and suddenly her shoulders ached, and she couldn't lift her hands anymore!Immediately his face changed, and he apologized quickly: "A villain has eyes but can't recognize a superior person, please don't be as knowledgeable as a villain!"

If it weren't for people with some background, how could there be such means?At this time, shopkeeper Chen regretted so much that his intestines were green.He didn't take advantage of anything, but was knocked out of a tooth instead!Looking at it right now, the female bandit seemed to want to cripple his arm, and she was terrified in her heart: "The master calms down, it's because the villain has no eyes! How many star anises the master has here, the villain bought them all!"

Feng Yao snorted coldly, with some sarcasm in her eyes: "I don't want to take advantage of you, so I will follow the price I said earlier, fifty cents a tael." Although she looked down on shopkeeper Chen, Feng Yao didn't want to take advantage of the fire.What's more, he has already learned a lesson, so it is inconvenient to do too much at this time.

"Okay, okay!" Shopkeeper Chen repeatedly agreed.

Feng Yao kept one catty, and sold the rest to Shopkeeper Chen.

I originally wanted to take the star anise to the pharmacy and restaurant, and try to sell as much money as possible.However, at this time, Feng Yao felt that it was a little risky - if she couldn't sell it, she would definitely be lowered in price if she came back to this seasoning shop.Since shopkeeper Chen is so ungrateful, let's sell it all to him!
Seven catties and six taels, a total of three taels of silver and eight hundred Wen.After collecting the money, Feng Yao picked up the basket and walked out without looking back.

The sun has risen high and the summer heat is starting to show.Feng Yao walked in the shadow of the roadside, avoiding the scorching sun, only felt her stomach growling violently.After looking back and forth for a while, she turned and walked back, and came to a steamed stuffed bun shop: "Here are two meaty buns." Holding the two buns, Feng Yao gnawed and walked towards the pharmacy in her memory.When shopkeeper Chen saw the star anise just now, he clearly hadn't even heard of it.From this point of view, the world here has not discovered such a thing at all.

However, this is both good and bad.The good thing is that she is the only one who knows the effect of this star anise, and she will definitely be able to sell it at a good price.The downside is that other people don't know the star anise, and for safety reasons, most pharmacies will not buy it.Thinking of this, Feng Yao frowned.

While walking and thinking, the location of the pharmacy was approaching.At this time, there were no patients in the pharmacy picking up medicine, and the shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter, playing his fan lazily.Occasionally point to the man who is sitting on the horseback behind him, sweating profusely and twisting the twisted medicine: "It's not broken enough, keep twisting."

Feng Yao stood at the door for a moment, but turned around and left.

Not far from the pharmacy, there is a medical clinic a few shops away.There were actually two patients in the medical hall, sitting on a small low stool, and the doctor took the pulse: "...this disease is intestinal eczema, you come in time, it is not a serious problem. I will write a prescription for you later, you go to the pharmacy in front Grab some medicine in the pot and eat it, and you will be fine in a few days."

Let go of the patient's wrist, the old doctor rolled up his sleeves, took a pen and wrote, dried the ink and handed it to him: "You go." When the patient got up to leave, he raised his hand and said, "Next."

Feng Yao was not in a hurry, and waited until all the patients had left before taking off the small pannier and walking in.

"You..." The old doctor looked up and saw a young woman sitting down, her long eyebrows twitched, she looked around, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Feng Yao spread her palms, put a few star anises on the table, and said, "I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm just recommending a medicinal herb to the old doctor."

Hearing this, the old doctor's face was pulled down: "Huh, you are so young, you actually do such a low-level job! This old man is a medical clinic, how can you let your copper smell be stained? Go away! Go away! !" He said the word "go" a few times in a row, as if afraid that Feng Yao would not understand, so he waved his sleeve impatiently.
