Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 31 Taking uncle to sell medicinal materials

"Yes, Guilan told us at home, and now the three children are studying in the town academy!" Old Mrs. Huo said, and the three of them knew almost everything while chatting at home.

"That's great. Only by studying can you be successful." Qian Ruiping was also happy for them.

"Then uncle, come with us to the town, and we'll send him back after we sell the medicinal materials!" Zhou Yue said again, she was afraid that her uncle would sell the medicinal materials by himself because he didn't understand the market, so he would be accepted at a low price.

"Okay!" Qian Ruiping nodded in agreement, he really didn't know what to do if he was really asked to sell medicinal materials by himself.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to town in a bullock cart. Before leaving, Zhou Yue took out the pheasant from the basket, which surprised Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Liu, while Qian Ruiping slapped his head, "I said I always feel I forgot something, it turns out I forgot this pheasant!”

"Yueyue, you can take it home and eat it!" Qian Ruiping wanted to put the pheasant on the oxcart, but Zhou Yue stopped him.

"Uncle, we still have tiger meat at home! You can keep it and eat it!" After finishing speaking, he turned and got on the bullock cart, "Get in the cart quickly, uncle, don't be late!"

Qian Ruiping had no choice but to leave the pheasant behind and got on the ox cart neatly.

The bullock cart stopped at the entrance of Renji Hall. Zhou Yue took Qian Ruiping in and happened to see Brother Liu standing behind the counter taking medicine.

"Brother Liu, do you still remember me?" Zhou Yue greeted.

Brother Liu looked up, isn't this the girl from the Zhou family who sold medicinal materials last time? "Isn't this the little girl from the Zhou family? Are you here to sell medicinal materials again today?"

"Yes, is Doctor Gao there?"

"Doctor Gao is in the backyard, I'll go ask him, just wait a moment." After speaking, he walked to the backyard.

Dr. Gao was drying medicinal herbs in the backyard. When he saw Brother Liu coming, he thought it was a patient, so he stood up and walked over there.

"Doctor Gao, the girl from the Zhou family who sold medicinal materials came here last time, with two baskets of medicinal materials on her back, go and have a look." Brother Liu said to Doctor Gao.

It turned out that there was no patient. Doctor Gao did not stop and continued to move forward.

"What herbs did you pick today?" Dr. Gao asked immediately when he saw Zhou Yue.

"Hello, Doctor Gao! Today we have skullcap, gynostemma and Bupleurum! Take a look!" Zhou Yue greeted first, and then introduced the medicinal materials.

"Hey, you girl, you know a lot of medicinal materials!" Doctor Gao said when he heard that it was not the type of medicinal materials he sold last time.

"I know a lot, so I'll show you when I get it!" Zhou Yue knew that she couldn't hide it for too long, after all, she would sell other medicinal materials in the future.

"Yes, you are very talented. If you were a boy, I would have taken you as an apprentice." Doctor Gao said with a smile.

"Thank you for your love. Please check the quality of the medicinal materials first, and give me a price." Zhou Yue didn't bother with the apprentice, so she changed the subject. If it comes to medical skills, who is the apprentice?But she has no idea of ​​being famous, she just wants to live a peaceful life with her family.

Doctor Gao picked up the medicinal materials in the basket, smelled them, and examined them carefully, "Yes, it looks like they were just picked, and they are still very fresh!"

"Just picked it this morning!"

Doctor Gao nodded, "This skullcap will cost you one tael of silver per catty, Bupleurum will cost you eight hundred cents per catty, and Gynostemma pentaphylla will cost you five hundred cents per catty."

When Zhou Yue heard the price, she thought the price was okay, "Yes, this is my uncle, and he will come to sell medicinal materials in the future." Zhou Yue pointed to Qian Ruiping and introduced it to Doctor Gao.

"Hello Doctor Gao! My name is Qian Ruiping!" Qian Ruiping nodded to Doctor Gao and introduced himself.

"Okay, all the medicinal materials collected in the future can be sold in our Renjitang." Doctor Gao said.

"Brother Liu, please weigh the medicinal materials. The stems of Scutellaria baicalensis need to be cut and weighed. We only need to weigh the roots. When picking them, we were afraid they would be mixed with Bupleurum, so we picked them with the stems." Zhou Yue reminded.

Doctor Gao also nodded. Zhou Yue was right. It was easy to distinguish them this way. After all, they were all roots and it would be troublesome to mix them together.

"Bupleurum is four catties in total, Jiaogulan is eleven and a half catties in total, and Scutellaria baicalensis is three and a half catties in total." Brother Liu weighed in and reported the weight of the medicinal materials.

"A total of 12 taels and 450 wen." Zhou Yue reported the total amount.

Brother Liu was still doing the abacus, but he stopped and looked at Zhou Yue, "That's right! It's 12 taels and 450 Wen!" Brother Liu felt that they were the same people, so why was the difference so big?
Giving the silver to Qian Ruiping, Qian Ruiping's hand holding the silver trembled a little, and followed Zhou Yue out of the Renji Hall unsteadily, where Qian Guilan was waiting for them in the bullock cart.

"How is it? Did you take everything?" Qian Guilan asked.

"Yes, I have collected them all, but this is too much money. Just these two baskets of medicinal materials cost more than 12 taels of silver!" Qian Ruiping was very excited. This was more than his annual income!

"This is normal, brother. You have to remember these medicinal materials. If you pick them in the mountains, you can exchange them for money in the town. Your life will be better soon!" Qian Guilan is now able to treat the value of this medicinal material normally. , after all, she is also someone who has seen 200 taels of silver.

"Yueyue, here are these ten taels for you. Thank you for teaching uncle how to identify medicinal materials!" Qian Ruiping took out the ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Yue.

"Uncle, keep it for yourself, I have silver flowers! Don't forget, I know more medicinal materials!" Zhou Yue didn't answer and reminded Qian Ruiping.

Seeing that Zhouyue didn't want it, Qian Ruiping said, "Then uncle, go buy clothes for Yueyue! We've made an agreement!"

Zhou Yue saw that he was not practical if he didn't spend money for her, so she nodded, "Okay!"

Qian Guilan didn't stop her either. She knew that her brother wouldn't be able to overcome the difficulties in his heart if he didn't spend money on Yueyue, so she just followed his wishes.

When the three of them came to the cloth shop, Qian Ruiping picked out a dress made of the best fabric and spent three taels of silver. This was the most expensive dress in the store, after all it was a small town and there was no better material.

For ordinary people, three taels of silver is a huge sum of money, enough to feed and drink for the family for half a year. Qian Ruiping didn't feel sorry for the silver at all, but was very happy to buy Zhou Yue a nice dress.

Zhou Yue saw that it was still early, and before school was over, "Uncle, it's still early, why don't we go and see our big cousin!"

The eldest cousin Qian Changyuan worked in a carpenter shop in the town. In order to facilitate his work, he rented a house in the town. His wife Zhao Yuanyuan lived with him in the town and took care of him.

"Okay, I'll drive the cart!" Qian Ruiping drove the cart to the house rented by his eldest son.

The bullock cart stopped in an alley, and Qian Ruiping went forward and knocked on the door on the left. "Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside.

"It's me, I happen to be in town, come and take a look." Qian Ruiping said.

Hearing a familiar voice, the door opened, "Dad is here! Ah! Auntie is here too, and Yueyue, come in and sit down!" Zhao Yuanyuan looked delighted and immediately invited a few people in.
