MTL - The Leisurely Countryside of the Farmer’s Daughter-in-law

  Chapter 14 Selling Drugs in the County

  Yang Cunzhi looked at the desolate street, and said to Yang Lan'er: "Let's go to the market first and sell wild vegetables, pheasants and hares."

  Yang Lan'er found an inn opened in front of her. "Let's go to the inn and ask. It should be very easy to sell food during the calamity year."

   Approaching the inn, Yang Lan'er looked up at the plaque - Xilai Inn. The two entered the inn, and the seven or eight tables in the lobby were empty. At the counter on the left, Xiao Er is taking a nap.

   "Dong dong dong" Yang Cunzhi knocked on the counter, and Xiao Er raised his head in a daze, rubbing his eyes: "Guest officer, are you staying in the store or playing the top?"

  Yang Lan'er said to Xiao Er: "We are looking for the shopkeeper. I wonder if he is free?"

  Xiao Er was puzzled and said, "You are looking for the shopkeeper, what is the matter?"

  Yang Cunzhi took off the bamboo basket on his back and showed it to Xiao Er: "Do you want these? I just opened them today. They are fresh."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment when he saw the back basket, then his excited eyes lit up, and he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at it: "Yes, yes. Wait a minute, I'll go find the shopkeeper." He hasn't finished yet Just jumped into the backyard.

   After a while, the shopkeeper came out with a smile, and bowed, "You two have been waiting for a long time. My surname is Qian. You can call me the shopkeeper Qian. What's the name of this brother?"

   "It's a pleasure to meet you, so you don't have to pay for the precious tree." Yang Cunzhi also saluted with both hands.

  Yang Laner rolled her eyes, these ancients are troublesome.

   Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile: "I don't know, Brother Yang, what are you selling?"

   "I don't know the shopkeeper, do you accept these expensive items?" Yang Cunzhi handed over the pannier.

Shopkeeper Qian saw the hare and pheasant in the basket, and stroked his beard happily: "Take it, take it, I won't say much now, pheasants and rabbits usually charge fifteen cents a catty, but today I will give you fifty cents a catty. According to twenty Wen a catty, I will accept it together, how about it?"

  Yang Cunzhi was silent for a moment, glanced at Yang Lan'er, and saw her nodding. "Okay, let's do as the shopkeeper said."

Shopkeeper Qian asked Xiaoer to take it in and weigh it, and said to Yang Cunzhi: "Now that the disaster is serious, Brother Yang, you can still hunt wild game. It is really rare. If there is any game in the future, it must be sent to our Xilai Inn first. Money Thank you so much." Saying that, he bowed again.

   Talking about Xiao Er coming back after weighing, Xiao Er whispered a few words to Shopkeeper Qian.

Shopkeeper Qian laughed and said, "Brother Yang, the seven hares and pheasants total thirty-five catties, fifty cash per catty is 1,750 cash, and the wild vegetables are ten catties and two hundred cash, the total is one thousand nine hundred. Fifty Wen." As he spoke, he took a tael of silver and nine hundred and fifty Wen coppers from the counter, and gave them to Yang Cunzhi.

  Took the money and bid farewell to the shopkeeper. The siblings walked out of the inn.

   "Lan'er, where are we going now? What do you want to buy?"

  Yang Lan'er smiled slightly: "Go to the pharmacy to sell medicine" and winked at the second brother, and the second brother understood in seconds.

   "Hehe, okay, let's go to the pharmacy."

  They came to Ren Shan Tang first, walked into the lobby, and saw that there was no one there.

  Looking at people, the little drug boy asked softly: "May I ask you two to get medicine or see a doctor?"

   "Excuse me, do you collect medicinal materials?"

  Yaotong smiled and said: "It depends on what kind of medicinal materials you have."

  Yang Lan'er lifted the pannier and gave him a look. The drug boy said politely, "You two please follow me."

  Followed to the back hall, just as he sat down, he saw a benign old man walking in. The brothers and sisters hurriedly got up to greet each other.

   "I heard that you are going to sell medicinal materials. What kind of medicinal materials are they? Can you palm the old man?" The old man said with a smile.

  Yang Lan'er took out the medicinal materials and put them on the table, there were three purple ganoderma plants in total. The rest are some Gastrodia elata, Poria cocos, Tianqi and so on.

  The old man saw the Ganoderma lucidum on the table, his eyes lit up, he leaned forward to look at it carefully, and then smelled it. He solemnly said: "This is a top-grade purple ganoderma. The smallest one is fifty years old, and the largest one is at least two hundred years old. The other one is more than one hundred years old."

  The old man pondered for a while and said, "Sixty taels for 50 years, 150 taels for more than 100 years, and 350 taels for the largest one. What do you guys think?"

  Yang Lan'er doesn't know what the real price is like. But looking at the old man's clear eyes, he knew that in this small county town, the old man gave the real price. Then nodded: "Just do as the old man said."

   Seeing that Yang Lan'er agreed, the old man laughed happily: "Okay, this young lady is refreshing! The old man's surname is Hu, you don't mind, you can call me Doctor Hu."

   Glancing at the basket on the ground, "Girls, what are the remaining medicinal ingredients...?"

   "Doctor Hu, your pharmacy sold everything you received from your pharmacy." Yang Lan'er hurriedly said.

   "Alright, little Lizi, go and weigh these herbs." Doctor Hu instructed the little drug boy.

  The medicinal materials were sold for a total of six hundred taels, and Yang Lan'er asked for cash. Putting silver in the back basket has actually been put into the space.
