The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 21 Obstruction
"Prescribe or take medicine?"

It was noon, and there were not many people in Chengnan Wansheng Medicine Store, and the sitting doctor who was guarding in front had already returned to the backyard to eat and rest, and only a young man with a rice bowl was guarding behind the counter.

An Xu first made sure that Zong Che was standing, then took off the bamboo basket he was carrying, walked over to put it on the counter, and asked, "Want to ask if you collect torreya here?"

The young man put the rough ceramic rice bowl aside, grabbed a handful, looked at it carefully, and said, "Your torreya seeds are of good quality, but we still need to fry them, so we may not be able to give you a high price."

An Xu had already guessed this point, "What price can I give?"

"Two cents a catty," said the boy.

At this time, the cotton curtain leading to the backyard moved, and a person walked over and asked, "What do you sell?"

"Master, it's a torreya," the boy came out, "it looks pretty good, I can accept it."

What came out was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a goatee, tall and thin, he didn't look like a businessman, but more like a literati.

Sure enough, the little guy introduced to An Xu again, "This is our boss, and he is also the sitting doctor."

An Xu nodded, and said: "The guy in your shop offered two cents, I think it's a bit too low, can you raise it up?"

Although she has opened a few restaurants, she has never experienced this kind of bargaining, so her words are a bit dry.

The owner came over and looked at it, broke open one, and said: "It's really good, but girl, you are born, we still need to deal with it, two cents is very fair."

An Xu thought that it was picked for nothing in the mountains anyway, and the price of ancient and modern prices cannot be compared, so he was about to agree, when the quiet Zong Che suddenly said: "Torreya can be used not only as medicine, but also as a snack. Once it is fried, it can be sold for a pound." Go to [-] or [-] Wen. Two Wen is too low."

I thought it was a countryman who I had only seen a few times without knowing why.Wan Dong's family laughed and said: "So they know how to do it. How about it? Four fen a catty. My pharmacy collects torreya seeds. Naturally, they are used for medicinal purposes. They also need to be cooked by a master craftsman. This is all cost."

"Qiwen," Zong Che said affirmatively, giving people the momentum that if he didn't pay the price of Qiwen, he would be defeated.

The medicine shops in the small county are all small family workshops. Wan Dong's family not only serves as the sitting doctor, but also processes some medicinal materials. Like Torreya, which only needs simple frying, he can come by himself without much effort.

He picked up another torreya, took it to his mouth and bit it open, looked at Ren'er inside, looked very embarrassed, and finally smiled: "Okay, if it weren't for the fact that your torreya is so good, I wouldn't be able to give such a high price. .”

An Xu: How did this happen?In a few words, from two to seven, it's like riding a speeding car.

"Bring a scale," Wan Dong's family ordered to the young man, and after they had negotiated a price, they asked them if they still had this torreya, and they still wanted this quality.

He can ask for another fifty catties.

An Xu said: "There is still fifty catties at home, but it may be delivered tomorrow."

"no problem."

The little guy came over with a large stalk scale. Once weighed, he weighed 46 catties with the basket. Then he poured all the torreya stalks into the basket at the pharmacy, weighed the basket, and cut off the weight of the basket.

According to the measurement of Ming Dynasty, one catty is 12 taels, and for 42 catties of six taels of torreya, An Xu got 290 eight Wen coins.

When she came out of the pharmacy, she was holding a heavy purse in her hand, feeling very happy in her heart, she turned to look at Zong Che beside her: "Thanks to you today, what do you want to eat?"

The corner of Zong Che's lips twitched, "Let's go to the car, it's only fifty renminbi to be exchanged for the Zheng family's money."

"Yes, go back quickly."

Having said that, when returning to the intersection, An Xu still sold Zong Che a catty of candied fruit.

In the pharmacy, Wan Dong's family was carefully inspecting the torreya they received this time, when a shadow came into view, and someone walked in the door.

"Prescribing or taking medicine?" The young man greeted with a smile.

Qingluan walked in with his hands together in front of him, and said, "Just to inquire, what did those two come here for?" His eyes fell on the basket of Chinese torreya on the ground, and he already had a guess in his heart.

Wan Dong's family didn't answer, they straightened up and asked, "What's the matter, Miss?"

Qingluan smiled, there was indeed something.

----

"Wild torreya?" Lu Ningxin threw the melon seed skins in her hand onto the brazier that had just been lit, looked at the small flames that sprang up, and said, "It's too easy to make this windfall."

Qingluan came over with a plate of freshly washed oranges, "The maidservant has already told the pharmacy that they are not allowed to accept the torreya from those two people, and the Huichun Hall in Dongcheng has also explained."

Lu Ningxin shook her head and said, "I can still watch them fail, so I shouldn't care too much about them."

Qingluan hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Is the servant busy?"

"It doesn't count," Lu Ningxin said: "There is no money in this world that is easy to earn. However, these days, I should pay more attention. It is best not to let them enter the city again. I can't see those two people."

Qingluan moved her lips, but she didn't dare to ask how the young lady became enmity with the two countrymen.

At this time, An Xu and Zong Che had already boarded the car back, and learned from Fang Bo that the original owner's younger brother had appeared at Xuejiaji, and things went very smoothly, she was in a good mood.
