Chapter 11

Mrs. Chen led Shen Lidong into the gate of Baohe Hall, and the medicine boy Wang Xiaosi had just sent away an old woman who came to fetch medicine.

Looking at the mother and daughter who came over, although they were wearing coarse cotton padded jackets, their elbows and knees were severely worn out, and they had been patched with a few patches, they were still tidy and there was no mess in the slightest.

Approaching the counter, Wang Xiaosi saw how the mother and daughter behaved in a natural and graceful manner, not at all looking around like poor people who have never seen the world, their eyes were also very calm and gentle, and when they were facing him, they didn't show anything cowardice.

"Ma'am, are you here to get the medicine? And give me the prescription so that I can watch the prescription dispense the medicine." Wang Xiaosi didn't judge a person's status based on the other person's clothes, he had a serious expression on his face. Smile, hospitality is very polite.

A medicine boy who came out of this Baohetang was so polite, so it can be seen that the owner of this Baohetang must be good, what kind of servants can tell what kind of master is.

Shen Lidong immediately took a liking to the owner of this Baohetang, and tugged on Chen's sleeve. "Mother, this big brother looks so pretty when he smiles. He must have a good heart. Mother doesn't have to worry that big brother will bother us to inquire." The two overripe black grapes were as black and bright as the morning dew, and Wang Xiaosi was a little bit happy when he saw it.

"I don't know what this aunt wants to inquire about. If I know, I will tell the truth." Seeing that Shen Lidong likes it, Wang Xiaosi didn't miss a while.

Chen smiled, this little girl has really changed a lot after waking up this time, she is almost a villain, and she is playing tricks in front of others.

Are you still worried that Baohetang will not succeed in their century-old ginseng?

In fact, Shen Lidong's worries are completely unnecessary, the reputation of Baohetang has always been worthy of praise, and the Chen family is naturally trustworthy, but Shen Lidong is not very clear about it.

But since Shen Lidong opened his mouth, Mrs. Chen didn't want to break the child's heart, and finally asked Wang Xiaosi according to Shen Lidong's thoughts.

"My little brother, our mother and I just want to ask, what is the price for a century-old ginseng plant in Guitang?"

"Why does this elder sister want to buy a century-old ginseng? To be honest, there is indeed a century-old ginseng in the store, but the price is very high, 500 taels of silver. I advise this elder sister that if it is only used as medicine, the 50-year-old ginseng Ginseng should be enough, and the price is 200 taels of silver, and the efficacy of this medicine will not be too far away, so there is no need to use century-old ginseng as medicine." Wang Xiaosi felt that the family background of the mother and daughter was not very good , just said a few more words, and kindly reminded Mrs. Chen.

"If that's the case, then I'd like to trouble my elder sister to have a look and see what the price of this century-old ginseng plant in elder sister's hand is?" Mrs. Chen took out a small package from her basket and slowly released it. The century-old ginseng taken from the medicine field space appeared in Wang Xiaosi's eyes in this way.

"This...is really good ginseng." At this moment, Wang Xiaosi felt that he was played tricks by a little doll just now. The lover's family is here to sell century-old ginseng. I'm afraid I won't believe it, so I just tried it. But now he doesn't mind, the store is short of such good things.

"Sister, I am a drug boy and I can't decide this matter. I will go to the back hall and call the shopkeeper. You wait here for a while, and I will be right back." Wang Xiaosi rushed to the back hall to find shopkeeper Fang, shopkeeper Fang He was also a little dissatisfied with his frizzy behavior, but when he heard Wang Xiaosi say that someone brought excellent-looking century-old ginseng to Baohe Tang for sale, his speed was faster than Wang Xiaosi's. .

"This big girl, my surname is Fang, and I'm the shopkeeper of Baohetang. I heard from Yaotong that you have a century-old ginseng to sell?" After the shopkeeper Fang arrived at the counter, although he was excited in his heart, he looked at Chen's family very calmly. .

"That's right, shopkeeper Fang might as well take a look at this ginseng plant in the hands of the little lady. My husband got it by chance when he went up the mountain. I don't know how much you can ask for. Please give me the shopkeeper's eye." Chen took out the century-old ginseng again. Ginseng, sitting quietly on the counter.

Shopkeeper Fang took a look, and his eyes were fixed on the century-old ginseng.

"Good ginseng, good ginseng, good quality, and neat, not even a single ginseng has been broken. Such a good century-old ginseng is rare. How about it, the average century-old ginseng is only 500 taels of silver, big sister For this ginseng, Baohetang will pay 600 taels of silver, I don’t know what the big sister would like?” This century-old ginseng was given to the old lady in the capital to celebrate her birthday. With a good face on the old lady's face, shopkeeper Fang didn't care about paying an extra 100 taels of silver.

Mrs. Chen thought it would be enough to sell it for 500 taels, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper had an extra 100 taels of silver, so she nodded with a smile and said: "The reputation of Baohetang, the little lady can trust, it's only 600 taels Bar."

"Okay. Here are 600 taels of banknotes. One piece is 100 taels. They are from Fugui Bank. They are accepted nationwide. Please keep them safe." Mrs. Chen took the five banknotes and asked Shopkeeper Fang to order them again. A silver note of 50 taels, 50 taels of scattered silver, pulled out the wooden hairpin on the head, rolled up the 550 taels of silver, stuffed it into the wooden hairpin, and inserted it back into the bun.

Shen Lidong saw it, and secretly exclaimed, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Mrs. Chen put away the silver properly, and then said goodbye to shopkeeper Fang. Parting Wang Xiaosi told Shen Lidong with a smile that if she came next time, she would just bluntly say something, and Shen Lidong blushed with shame. It really measures the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

If she had known that Baohetang's reputation was so good, she wouldn't have made such a fuss. No wonder mother smiled at her just now. Mother who dared to love knew it, but she did not want to refute her intentions.

Thinking about it, my heart felt warm again.

It's great to have a mother like Mrs. Chen.

Shen Lidong clenched Mrs. Chen's slightly rough but warm big hands, and the shopkeeper enthusiastically sent Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter out of the gate of Baohetang, saying that if he found such a good product next time , must be sold to Baohetang.

Mrs. Chen never thought that she could get a second plant of century-old ginseng. Smiling, he responded to Shopkeeper Fang.

It's just that if she knew that in Shen Lidong's medicine field alone, there are more than 20 ginseng plants that are 500 years old, more than ten ginseng plants that are [-] years old, and even five ginseng plants that are [-] years old. Shi probably doesn't regard century-old ginseng as a treasure at all.
