Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 13 The First Pot of Gold

There happens to be a market today, and the streets and alleys are particularly lively.

After getting off the oxcart, the villagers dispersed and made an appointment to meet here at the next moment.

“So this is what going to the market is like!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was madly complaining to the system at this time, "Have you seen it? This is the real antique. The scenic spots before were still intangible cultural heritage. They are far behind this."

I saw teahouses, wine shops, workshops, and cloth shops on both sides of the street. There were many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides. There were people walking on the street: some were carrying burdens, some were driving cattle carts to deliver goods, and some were

There were people driving donkeys and trucks, and there was a huge crowd.

Cheng Rong smiled and said: "It's not usually so lively. The market in our town is only held on the Saturday, sixteenth and twenty-sixth of every month. It usually only lasts for half a day, so today people gathered together to buy and sell."

"Let's go! There are two medicine halls, Baishan Medicine Hall and Baohe Hall. Baohe Hall is at the end of this street. Why don't you take a look first."

"Okay, let's go to Baohe Hall first."

At the end of the street, it was easy to see the Baohe Hall, where there were three or two people taking medicines and treating patients. As soon as they entered the gate, they heard an old woman pleading, "Doctor Lin, please do me a favor and lend some medicinal materials on credit! I will give you some medicinal materials in two days."

The old lady will send it to you as soon as your son pays his monthly salary."

Doctor Lin gave the medicine boy a look, and the medicine boy immediately understood.

"Go, go. If you don't have enough money, why don't you buy some medicine? Come back when you have enough." The medicine boy drove people away rudely, almost pushing the old woman.

She was held by Father Cheng who just came in. The old woman turned around and thanked Father Cheng. She was dragged out by the medicine boy just as she was about to step forward.

The old woman refused to leave and shouted, "I'm only twenty coppers short. Please be kind and I'll give you double the amount in two days. My wife can't stop taking medicine!"

Seeing this, everyone sympathized with the old woman, but sympathies were sympathies, as life was not easy for anyone, and there was no need to do anything for strangers, except for her father.

He generously took out twenty copper coins and gave them to the old woman. The old woman thanked her profusely, "Good Samaritan! I kowtow to you."

"Don't be like this, old man." Father Cheng hurriedly went to help him.

Come on! I didn’t realize that her father is still a living ***.

He and his eldest brother looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, they should just get down to business!

"Excuse me, is your manager here?"

The medicine boy who drove people away just now looked at the people who came and said calmly: "Are you taking medicine or seeing a doctor?"

Although he didn't have a good impression of this medicine hall, Cheng Xiaoxiao still said politely, "No, we are here to sell medicinal materials. Can you ask the steward to come out and take a look?"

The medicine boy didn't take it seriously and said, "If you have any good medicine, please bring it out first and let me see."

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not very happy, forget it, let's see what price he can offer first. After saying that, he took a part of the night morning glory from the basket on Cheng Rong's back and carefully placed it on the counter.

The medicine boy glanced at it, his eyes brightened for a moment but he suppressed it, "I thought you were selling fresh herbs, but they are already prepared. However, the quality is just average. I will give you thirty coppers at most.

One pound."

Cheng Rong's eyes lit up. This night morning glory can actually be sold for thirty copper coins. They have about ten kilograms today, which is three hundred copper coins. If they can buy in large quantities.

"That's it! Brother, it seems that they are not sincere in accepting our medicinal materials. Let's go!" Cheng Xiaoxiao did not miss the medicine boy's fleeting eyes just now.

Cheng Rong hasn't come to his senses yet, so why is he leaving? Could it be that Xiao Xiao is not satisfied with the price.

"Hey! Don't leave, little girl, the price is negotiable." He ran out of the counter and stopped in front of them.

"How about I add five cents to you? Thirty-five cents."

Cheng Xiaoxiao was disdainful. Although she didn't know the prices here or the price of this medicinal material, she knew from the medicine boy's reaction that he was slaughtering a fat sheep.

Hearing the noise outside, the shopkeeper came out from the back hall and asked the medicine boy what was going on. The medicine boy told him something irritating.

Seeing that they were ordinary people wearing coarse linen clothes, the shopkeeper said: "Then give them forty! I will also send some medicinal materials in the future."

Where did this shopkeeper get his confidence? Did I say I wanted to sell it?

Really, both of them looked down upon others, ignored the people behind them, and just walked out of the medicine hall door.

Seeing that the little girl didn't give him face, the shopkeeper angrily rolled his sleeves and said, "Humph! What a shameless bunch of idiots."

"What's wrong, daughter, are we not going to sell it?" Father Cheng looked puzzled. Has her daughter offended the shopkeeper?

Cheng Rong guessed a bit, "Second uncle, let's go to Baishan Medicine Hall on another street to have a look!"

"Yes, the people in this medicine hall are not kind. Don't come here next time." She could hear the shopkeeper's words behind her. Who is she looking down on? She has no quality. She will not do business with people who have no quality.

When she arrived at Baishan Medicine Hall, Cheng Xiaoxiao did not rush to take out the medicinal materials this time. She went to the counter first and learned about the prices of each medicinal material. The medicine boy who took the medicine gave her a quote one by one. He did not look down on them because of their clothes.

.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was very satisfied and was about to take out the medicinal materials when he heard a kind voice from behind.

"Hey! Isn't this Cheng from Qingshan Village?"

“Dr.

"Yes, I remember, Cheng Laoer, who of you are going to see a doctor today!" He said and looked at the two people in front of him, neither of them looked sick.

Hearing their conversation, she knew that the person in front of her was the doctor who treated her, so she should know him. She immediately put on a smile, walked forward, and sweetly shouted: "Grandpa Xue, do you still remember me?

"

He looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "Your name is Da Ya! You haven't grown taller in a year."

Uh! Her name is not Daya. This must be corrected. "Grandpa Xue, now I have a name. My name is Cheng Xiaoxiao. You can call me Xiao Xiao."

It’s easy to do things if you have an acquaintance! As he said that, he showed him the prepared medicinal materials.

Doctor Xue looked at it carefully and said, "Well, Xiao Yatou, you prepared the morning glory very well this night. It retains most of the medicinal effect and the quality is good. The master who prepared this medicinal material is a great one."

Cheng Xiaoxiao said happily: "Look, how much are our medicinal materials worth when sold to the medicine hall?" Finally, someone knows the goods.

At this time, the discerning medicine boy had already invited Shopkeeper Huang out. After some pleasantries, Cheng Xiaoxiao said that they could supply medicinal materials for a long time, and that there would be more than one type, ensuring that the quality and efficacy would be similar to today's medicinal materials.

Shopkeeper Huang and Dr. Xue were both surprised. They chatted with the little girl about the efficacy and preparation techniques of medicinal herbs. They found that the little girl was very good at it. Some of the methods they had never tried before. They wanted to know where the little girl learned it. The little girl was cautious.

Very, every time he was vague and didn't reveal anything.
