Chapter 56
The proprietress handed the oiled paper package to the shopkeeper, who took it and handed it to Yan Xiaosi.

"Anyway, business is not good today, and these steamed meats can't be sold out. Brother, you can take these back to eat."

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Yan Xiaosi took the oiled paper bag unceremoniously, and after saying goodbye to the shopkeeper and his wife, he quickly climbed onto the bullock cart with the heavy oiled paper bag in his arms.

The firewood had been sold, and Mrs. Zhong drove the ox cart to the vegetable market.

Yan Xiaosi sat on the cart, opened the oil-paper bag in his hand, and said to Zhong's back: "Mother, let's not go to the vegetable market."

"Little Four, what do you want to do?"

It was Yan Shuqin who asked the question.

Now Yan Xiaosi has too many ideas in his head, they can't guess at all.

Yan Xiaosi had already unwrapped the oiled paper bag, inside the paper bag was full of large chunks of steamed meat, the smell of steamed meat made Yan Xiaosi swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The large pieces of meat are covered with golden yellow rice noodles, which looks delicious.

While taking the steamed meat and handing it to Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun, she replied: "It's only morning, and things in the vegetable market must be expensive. In the afternoon, those vendors will definitely lower their prices. go again."

After the vegetables are picked, they are not easy to preserve. Vegetable vendors want to sell all the vegetables in their hands within a day, otherwise they will be piled up at home, and they will only be shriveled or even spoiled. So in the afternoon, vegetables and other things must be will reduce the price.

Yan Shuqin ate the steamed meat with her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to touch Yan Xiaosi's forehead.

"Little Four, Big Sister thinks you are getting smarter."

Yan Shuxue ate the steamed meat, and took Yan Shuqin's words vaguely: "Elder sister, don't forget, our father was a 12-year-old scholar, and Xiao Si is his son, so his brains are naturally not bad." Where are you going?"

"Mom, let me feed you."

Yan Xiaosi took the oiled paper bag and moved to Zhong's side.

The last time Zhong ate steamed meat was when Yan Bowen was alive. After many years, she had almost forgotten what steamed meat tasted like. Now she smelled the strong aroma of steamed meat, her mouth was watering, but she pretended to be It looks like I don't want to eat.

"Mother is driving the car. I'm going to the market today. There are many people on the street. Mother has to be careful so as not to bump into others. Xiaosi, you siblings just eat."

"Mom, I've already eaten it. I'll drive the car. The steamed meat in that small restaurant is delicious. You should try some too."

Yan Shuqin licked the lard on her fingers, and moved to Zhong's side.

"Mom, you can eat some too."

"Mother, the lady boss gave quite a lot of steamed meat, enough for the five of us to eat a few yuan each."

Yan Shuxue and Yan Shuyun spoke one after another.

Yan Xiaosi took a piece of steamed meat and handed it to Zhong's mouth: "Mother, we are a family, we should share hardships and joys together."

Glancing at the four sensible children around him, with distressed expressions on their faces, Zhong opened his mouth and handed Yan Xiaosi the steamed meat to his mouth to eat.

Yan Xiaosi simply asked Zhong to park the ox cart by the side of the road, and the family of five, you and I, finished the package of steamed meat to their satisfaction.

After eating the steamed meat, Yan Shuyun licked the lard at the corner of her mouth, and asked Yan Xiaosi: "Xiao Si, should we just wait here now and go to the vegetable market in the afternoon?"

Yan Xiaosi also licked the lard at the corner of her mouth. She didn't like to eat this kind of greasy food in her previous life, but now she thinks such greasy food is delicious.

"No, let's go to the pharmacy."

Yan Xiaosi shook her head slightly, and then asked Mrs. Zhong: "Mother, in our Daxing Town, which pharmacy is the largest and has the best business."

Zhong Shi still thought she was not feeling well, and asked anxiously in her eyes: "Xiao Si, what's wrong with you?"

While speaking, she reached out to touch Yan Xiaosi's forehead, "It's not hot."

Yan Xiaosi said with a smile: "Mother, look at me eating so much meat just now, I'm alive and well, I don't look like I'm sick."

Seeing her lively and smiling face, Zhong finally let go of her worries.

Children from poor families can't afford to be sick.

Yan Shuqin asked curiously: "Xiao Si, you are not sick or in trouble, what does the pharmacy do? That is not a good place."

Yan Xiaosi put his hand into the bamboo basket, took a piece of Atractylodes macrocephala and gave it to Zhong Shi, Yan Shuqin and the others looked at it.

"Mother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, have you forgotten this basket of Atractylodes macrocephala?"

Zhong Shi somewhat understood her intention.

"Xiao Si, are you planning to go to the pharmacy and sell this basket of Atractylodes macrocephala?"

Yan Xiaosi really wanted to sell the basket of Atractylodes macrocephala, but he didn't sell the medicinal materials directly to the pharmacy.

The Zhong family has never sold the medicinal materials dug in the mountains before. She thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know if other people's medicine shops want our Atractylodes macrocephala. If this Atractylodes macrocephala can also bring in money, our family will have an extra income in the future."

Yan Xiaosi put the piece of Atractylodes macrocephala back into the bamboo basket, and replied with a smile, "Mother, if you don't try it, how do you know if the pharmacy wants our Atractylodes macrocephala?"

The opportunity to make money is not given by others, but earned by oneself. Yan Xiaosi has always believed in this truth.

Mrs. Zhong thought about it, and the pharmacy with the largest scale and the best business in Daxing Town should be Ji Ren Tang. All nobles from Xize County will come to Ji Ren Tang.

"Xiao Si, let's go to Ji Ren Tang and try."

Yan Xiaosi didn't know as much about Daxing Town as Zhong Shi did. When Zhong Shi said to go to Ji Ren Tang, she nodded directly, "Mother."

After discussing with Yan Xiaosi, Mrs. Zhong drove the ox cart to the street where Ji Ren Tang was.

After unloading the five bundles of firewood, the old scalper pulled the cart much faster, and the cart shuttled through the market, but within a short while, Yan Xiaosi saw Ji Ren Tang in front of him.

As Mr. Zhong said, Ji Ren Tang is the largest pharmacy in Daxing Town, and the entire wooden building in front of it belongs to Ji Ren Tang. Because of the market today, the entrance of Ji Ren Tang is very lively, and the people who see a doctor and get medicine are in Ji Ren Tang. There was a long queue at the gate of the church.

Mrs. Zhong parked the ox cart at the gate of Ji Ren Tang, and seeing the long queue in front of the gate, most of the people in the queue were dressed in silk and satin fabrics, she felt a little trembling in her heart.

Poor people like them are not seriously ill, so they go up the mountain to collect some herbs and boil water to drink. When they are serious, they go to the local doctor in the village to get a pulse and grab two pairs of herbs to eat. Places like Ji Ren Tang are not easy to come to. of.

Although he came to sell Atractylodes macrocephala today, Mrs. Zhong had never been to Ji Ren Tang, so she was somewhat flustered.

"Xiao Si, are we really going in?"

Not only Zhong Shi was flustered, but Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun all seemed a little uneasy.

Yan Xiaosi's eyes swept over the faces of the four people, taking all the uneasiness on the faces of the four people into his eyes.

"Mother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, why don't you wait for me here, I'll come out after a while."
