Chapter 142 Identification of Ganoderma lucidum (1)

"Then it's 100 taels, if it doesn't work, forget it."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and finally agreed. When he received the jade box, it cost 80 taels, and selling it for 100 taels really didn’t meet his price, but the jade box has been kept by him for a long time. , If you keep it and don't sell it, it will be a loss-making business. It's better to sell it for a little less profit.

After figuring it out, the shopkeeper agreed to the price Liu Xiaodong said, but still pretended to be embarrassed, "Madam, if I sell it to you for 100 taels of silver, I can't even earn two taels, but it seems that you sincerely want to buy it." , I don’t mind if I earn less, I should make friends, what do you think?”

"Okay, thank you so much, shopkeeper." Liu Xiaodong said while taking out a 100 tael bank note from his sleeve pocket, "It's exactly 100 taels, please take a look, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper took the bank note and took a look at it. The number and official seal on it were correct, and then he put it in his arms and put it away, "Then I will help Madam wrap the jade box."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Liu Xiaodong said politely.

The shopkeeper took the jade box to the back of the counter, took out the wooden box that matched the jade box, then carefully put the jade box in, wrapped it up and gave it to Liu Xiaodong, "Take it well."

After Liu Xiaodong bought the jade box, he went out of the pawn shop with Xiang Qin. After getting into the carriage, Xiang Qin said, "My daughter-in-law is amazing. You can bargain for 500 taels to 100 taels. How can you be sure that the shopkeeper will agree?" Sell ​​it to us for 100 taels?"

Liu Xiaodong was praised by Xiang Qin, and he was a little embarrassed, his face was red, but he still explained, "First of all, the quality of the jade box itself is not high-grade, so naturally it cannot be as expensive as he said. When the box was taken out, it was already covered with a layer of dust, so it must not be a high-quality jade, as for the price, it’s just my nonsense, how do I know what the market price of jade is?”

Xiang Qin nodded, "Daughter-in-law, you are so smart."

Liu Xiaodong pretended to be angry, "Okay, don't talk too much, let's go to a medical clinic or a pharmacy to sell the herbs, and then go back to pick up Old Doctor Zhou and Xiaozhuang." However, Liu Xiaodong's rapid heartbeat betrayed him. her true feelings.

But Xiang Qin didn't expose Liu Xiaodong, and smiled at Liu Xiaodong, Liu Xiaodong felt his heart skip a beat, "Okay, I'll listen to you, sit down, drive!"

As soon as Xiang Qin flicked his whip, the horse started to gallop in small steps.

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin found the nearest medicine hall, went in and explained their purpose to the doctor inside, and the doctor expressed that he wanted to see the medicine Liu Xiaodong brought.

Liu Xiaodong winked at Xiang Qin, and Xiang Qin went outside to the carriage to fetch the herbs they had dried.

The doctor opened the medicine bag, took out a plant of Radix Isatis root, looked at it, nodded, and smelled it again, "Not bad." Then he looked at the other medicinal materials and thought they were all good. The cleaning was very clean and complete, so I decided to take all these herbs.

The doctor settled all these herbs one by one according to the price in the market, and the total was 57 taels. Liu Xiaodong took the silver and planned to give it to Xiang Qin, because these herbs were basically picked by Xiang Qin on the mountain under the scorching sun. The money should be kept by Xiang Qin.

But Xiang Qin didn't want it, "You can just take it, I don't have much use for money on weekdays."

Liu Xiaodong thought for a while, "Okay, I'll keep it first, it's the same when you need the money and then come to me to get it." Liu Xiaodong put the money away, "Let's go, let's go back and pick up old doctor Zhou."

Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong returned to the old doctor Zhou's clinic in the carriage, and Xiao Zhuang ran out first, "Sister Xiaodong, Brother Xiang, are you back?"

"Well, where's the old man?" Xiang Qin helped Liu Xiaodong get off the carriage, and Liu Xiaodong looked at Xiaozhuang and asked.

"Master is waiting for you inside."

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin entered the medical clinic, and when Old Doctor Zhou saw them, he asked, "Have you bought anything?"

"Well, I got it, old man, then let's go now." Liu Xiaodong nodded and looked at Old Doctor Zhou.

Old doctor Zhou closed the medical book in his hand, then stood up and straightened his clothes, "Okay, let's go, Xiao Zhuang, don't forget to lock the door." Finally, he did not forget to tell Xiao Zhuang.

"Don't worry, master."

After all, Old Doctor Zhou was getting old, and it was not easy to get on the carriage by himself. Liu Xiaodong wanted to step forward to help him, but Old Doctor Zhou waved his hand, "No, no, I can do it myself." Finally, I tried to get on the carriage a few times Didn't even go up, Xiaozhuang locked the door, hurried over and helped the old man into the carriage, the old man was still saying, "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

Xiao Zhuang helped Old Doctor Zhou to sit in the carriage, "Master, if you don't accept it, you will die. If you don't get in the carriage, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Sister Xiaodong and Brother Xiang's home until evening."

For a moment, old man Zhou felt that he couldn't hold back his face, so he picked up his crutches and wanted to hit Xiao Zhuang, but Xiao Zhuang dexterously dodged him.

Liu Xiaodong saw them, the old and the young, and felt that they were like a pair of live treasures, "Old man, calm down, Xiao Zhuang is still young and ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

"Hmph, you're right, I don't have the same knowledge as a brat."

Xiao Zhuang was not convinced, "Sister Xiaodong, I'm already fourteen, I'm not a kid anymore." Then he looked at old doctor Zhou, "I'm not a kid either."

Old Doctor Zhou raised his beard, and tapped the crutch in his hand on the floor of the carriage, "How dare you talk back, I said you are who you are."

As soon as old doctor Zhou got angry, Xiao Zhuang didn't dare to speak, and looked listless with his head down.

Liu Xiaodong looked at it and thought to himself, people say that old children are old children, the older they are, the more they look like children, "Okay, okay, you two, neither of you is old or young, okay? ?”

Only then did Old Doctor Zhou feel satisfied, "It's still Xiaodong who can talk, I don't want him to be a bastard who has no elders in his eyes."

Xiaozhuang wanted to say why he no longer has elders in his eyes, but was stopped by Liu Xiaodong's eyes.

When he arrived at Taohua Village, Xiang Qin drove the carriage up the mountain, but the mountain road was not smooth, and there was an elderly doctor in the carriage, so Xiang Qin reminded, "Sit still."

At home, Liu Xiaodong and Xiao Zhuang helped Mr. Zhou down. Although Mr. Zhou often disliked Xiao Zhuang for being stupid and unable to speak, he was his apprentice until the end of his life. Treated like a grandson.

After everyone washed the car, Xiang Qin went to tie the horse, and Liu Xiaodong and Xiao Zhuang helped the old man stand still before opening the door.
