Chapter 4 (1/2)
Back to taojiazhuang, it's time for the sunset.
Xu Ning didn't go home, but went straight to Guo Ye's medicine shop.
”Guo Ye!”
Xu Ning went in.
”Xu Ning, why are you here again?”
At this time, there was no one else in the medicine shop. Guo ye made a pot of tea and leaned against the seat back. When he saw Xu Ning coming, he stood up.
”Come on, weigh!”
Xu Ning threw the basket in front of Guo Ye.
Guo Ye stepped forward and saw what was in the basket, his eyes widened.
”Cool withered grass? So much?”
Guo Ye quickly leaned over, grabbed a handful and gathered in front of his nose: ”earthy smell... It's new!”
”Yes, I just picked it from Yunze mountain.” Xu Ning explained, ”I found this cool withered grass before, but the location is too dangerous. I dare not pick it at the junction of inner and outer circles. This time you said that the price of cool withered grass increased, so I dare to take this risk.”
”At the junction of inner and outer circles?” Guo ye said, ”you are a cruel man!”
”People die for wealth, birds die for food.”
Xu Ning said with a smile, ”come on, weigh it.”
”Right away.”
Guo Ye dragged a large scale from the backyard.
Work for a moment and weigh it.
”Twenty four pounds and six Liang...” Guo ye said, ”count you twenty-five pounds, one pound and six Liang silver, a total of one hundred and fifty Liang!”
”One hundred and fifty Liang...”
Hearing the income of this adventure, Xu Ning also smiled and didn't work in vain.
”Your boy, this time!”
Guo Ye patted Xu Ning on the shoulder and said with a smile, ”wait. I'll go to the backyard to get you money.”
One hundred and fifty-two. There's not so much silver in front of the counter.
Soon, Guo ye came out with two silver tickets.
”One hundred and fifty Liang.”
Xu Ning took the silver note and looked at it.
One fifty Liang, one hundred Liang.
”Thanks.”
Xu Ning put the silver ticket in his arms.
This 150 Liang is equivalent to the income of the previous family for more than a year.
With this income, the family can be a lot more comfortable.
”By the way, this cool withered grass won't reduce the price in a short time?”
Xu Ning asked Guo Ye.
”Not for a short time...” Guo Ye shook his head and frowned again. ”You boy, are there any goods?”
”I haven't finished yet. I can bring so much in two days.”
Xu Ning didn't hide it.
”OK, I'll take as much as I come!”
Guo Ye was also happy.
I'm afraid he collected more cool withered grass today than his uncle Tao Yungang collected outside for a few days.
This is also a long face in front of my uncle.
”But you have to pay attention to safety.”
Guo Ye warned again.
”I see.” Xu Ning stopped procrastinating and waved his hand, ”let's go.”
Then he picked up his basket and went out of the medicine shop.
”Hoo...”
Xu Ning stretched out.
When I have money in my pocket, I feel a lot more comfortable.
He looked at the sky and estimated that his sister and brother-in-law had not returned home, so he turned and went to the butcher's shop in the village first.
Xu Ning is going to buy some meat back.
Taojiazhuang is a big village with a large population and great material demand.
However, in today's environment and inconvenient transportation, individuals have to run a lot to buy basic goods.
Therefore, taojiazhuang has set up some material trading places, such as meat shop, grain shop, oil shop and so on.
These places are operated by Chuang Tzu and employ the labor in the village.
Before it was time for the big guy to return home, Xu Ning went into the butcher's shop and saw the butcher leaning on the recliner.
”Buy meat?”
When the butcher saw someone coming in, he stood up and picked up the bone removal knife.
”Yes, two catties of mutton.”
Xu Ning remembers that Tao Tao likes mutton best. It's tender and doesn't cost her teeth. She can bite.
”OK.”
The butcher is very skilled.
Soon, the butcher wrapped two kilograms of mutton leg and handed it to Xu Ning: ”half Guan money.”
Half a penetration is half a liang of silver.
”Half through...”
Xu Ning thought about it and thought it was really not cheap.
But without hesitation, he felt two pieces of silver from his body.
This is the herb money Guo Ye paid him in the morning.
He handed the money to the butcher: ”here you are.”
Out of the butcher's shop, Xu Ning hurried all the way home.
