Chapter 95 Lively
Jiang Jinyu looked at the damp floor from a distance and thought to himself, wondering if he could find a way to replace the shelf. In such an environment, the wooden shelf would probably break down soon.

The distance from Maxi Alley to the drug store is much closer than that from Huangtian Village to the drug store. Bai can finally go out with him instead of staying at home alone.

She happily changed into her newly made clothes, hugged Little Brother Jiang and got into the mule cart with Jiang Jinyu.

As the mule carriage drove out from the depths of the alley, the outside became more and more lively, and shouts continued to enter the carriage through the curtains.

Bai loved the excitement, and when she heard the noise outside, she wanted to open the curtain several times and peek in, but she was afraid that this behavior would bring shame to her family.

Jiang Jinyu looked at her mother in amusement as she leaned against the window and pricked up her ears to listen, and reminded her, "Mom, please open the curtain."

"We are not some purdah girls, nor have we ever walked to the market. Why should we pay attention to that?"

Jiang Mingshun, who was driving the car outside, heard this and said, "Yes, we are just a small family."

"Daughter-in-law, is it possible that you won't see anyone when you go out to buy groceries in the future?"

Bai turned around and thought, isn't it? There are no servants in her family. From now on, she will have to cook, buy vegetables, and carry water and wash clothes. How can she learn the etiquette of other wealthy people?
Feeling that she was being sentimental, Bai's face turned red with embarrassment. She raised her hand to open the curtain and said harshly: "I'm not particular about anything. I'm just worried that the cold wind will blow in and the children won't be able to bear it."

Having said this, she turned to stare at Jiang Jinyu, who was still enjoying himself: "Especially you, stay away from the window."

"I didn't close the curtains." Jiang Jinyu crossed his hands and covered his mouth, blinking innocently.

Bai soon had no time to care about Jiang Jinyu. She was attracted by the bustling dock market and all her attention was taken away.

The various food stalls selling snacks, the sideshow stalls that rang out with applause from time to time, and the foreign businessmen with different looks all kept Bai's eyes fixed.

The scenes before her were really shocking to a country woman who had not served as a village chief in ten years.

It took nearly half an hour before the mule cart finally squeezed out of the dock market and headed straight for Fangshihang where the medicine shop was located.

As the mule cart moved away, the bustle of people outside slowly disappeared.

Bai Shi looked away in disappointment: "Is it gone?"

"Why is it so deserted outside?" She hadn't seen enough.

Jiang Jinyu, who has been to the city many times and is a complete veteran, opened a corner of the curtain and took a look: "We are going to the drug store. We need to be quiet on the way."

"When we get to the market over there, it's going to be lively again."

Sure enough, after the mule cart had been running for about a quarter of an hour, people traveling together in twos and threes could be seen on the road.

Occasionally, there are mule carts and ox carts passing by, but most of them are middle-aged and elderly women carrying baskets.

Bai was puzzled: "Why are there mostly women on this road?"

Jiang Jinyu pointed to the market that could already be seen at the intersection: "They should all be buying vegetables?"

“Isn’t now the time to buy groceries?”

They got up early today, and even after all this time, they had just arrived at Tatsuki.

Bai Shi exclaimed: "Do people in the city get up so late?"

Then he said with envy: "I live such a leisurely life."

In their village, except for children, adults get up at [-] o'clock and go to work in the fields.

If it's summer, many people often get up before midnight in order to avoid the sun. How can they wait until midnight to go out?
"Huh?" Jiang Jinyu scratched her head. She had heard in her previous life that the ancients followed the sunrise and sunset, and the villagers in Huangtian Village also lived according to this rule. She did not expect that the people in the city were not like this.

"Where!" Jiang Mingshun, who had been listening to the two of us talking, laughed out loud: "People in the city either have to go out to work or open a shop to do business." "Boys still have to go to school and work in shops. Apprentices, when you get up early in the morning, you have to do a lot of work, unlike us, who can go to the ground just by carrying a hoe."

Bai listened attentively.

She felt that her family was now half urban. Although her husband did not have to get up early to go to work, her daughter was about to go to school.

Bai Shi deeply believed that she must start learning from the women in the city early. She must not let things go dark and make the family a mess, and she would be laughed at by her neighbors.

While talking, he had already arrived at the door of the drug store.

There are still people coming and going in the shop, which shows that the medical industry is always so busy no matter the time.

Manager Hao of the medicine shop happened to be in the shop today. He was watching several clerks loading a newly purchased batch of medicinal materials into the medicine cabinet.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone entering the door. Shopkeeper Hao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly told the guys: "Be sure to see clearly before putting it in!"

"If there is any mistake, you will be punished together!"

After saying that, he swept away his clothes and walked out.

Jiang Mingshun was already very familiar with Manager Hao. He smiled and greeted Manager Hao, and consciously followed him into the inner courtyard.

Several people sat down in the study.

Shopkeeper Hao said half seriously and half jokingly: "Brother Jiang, has something good happened again?"

The tone was quite familiar.

Jiang Mingshun didn't show off, he took the bamboo basket off his back and carefully picked up a white fungus from inside.

"Shopkeeper Hao, take a look." He stepped aside and motioned for the shopkeeper to come over.

"Tremella?" Tremella was very big and stood out on the maroon table. Shopkeeper Hao naturally recognized what it was at a glance.

He stared at it for a while, and after a long time, he asked in a complicated tone: "Did you find new growth from the mountain again?"

It’s not surprising that he asked this. As a drug store owner, he naturally knew that white fungus grows every year, and he was already prepared to receive the goods once a year.

But how long has it been now?Jiang Mingshun took such a big white fungus again.

Shopkeeper Hao thought for a long time and still felt that Jiang Mingshun might have found Tremella fuciformis from other places.

Shopkeeper Hao was quite envious. How could this person be so lucky?Guangxin County has not heard anyone say about the discovery of white fungus in many years. How could Jiang Mingshun find it so accurately?

It’s like picking up money!
"Ah, this..." Jiang Mingshun touched the back of his head, not knowing what to say, so he just vaguely replied: "That's right."

After saying that, before Shopkeeper Hao could react, he immediately asked: "How much does it cost to charge for this white fungus?"

That's what he's most concerned about.

Shopkeeper Hao was a little confused. Didn't the price have been negotiated last year?
But he didn't say anything, and only answered patiently: "It's still the same price as last year."

"That's good." Jiang Mingshun breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more genuine.

Shopkeeper Hao called the waiter to get a scale, calculated the price, took out four taels of silver and gave 620 to Jiang Mingshun: "If there are any more, just send them over."

Jiang Mingshun smiled and did not answer, but asked: "I wonder how much your shop can charge?"
