pastoral fragrance

Chapter 21
After arriving outside Qingcheng, Qiuyue imitated Aunt Qi's example last time, and left the ox cart in the thatched shed, gave the old guard a copper plate, and went to town with the dustpan and basket woven by her father.Qiusong followed the elder sister with the selected wild vegetables on her back.Qiuhe Qiulin and Ah Huang followed.

The siblings still came to that bustling street, which was still the place where they could get shade from the sun last time.The wild vegetables are placed neatly in bunches on the left, and woven fabrics such as dustpans and baskets are placed on the right.The aunts and mothers-in-law who buy vegetables usually go early, and when they go late, the good dishes are picked up by others.So even though it was still early in the day, there were not a few aunts and mothers-in-law coming and going on the street.

Many wild vegetables are also seasonal vegetables, and they will disappear after the season, so these wild vegetables are not worried about sales.After a while, it will be sold out in sevens and eighties.It's just that none of the dustpan baskets on the right have credit, and the children are a little worried.

Who doesn't have a dustpan and basket, this thing is stored in the town and the city, and there is still a market.However, this weaving work is not very skillful. The grandfathers and uncles in the countryside can generally weave, and there are many people who sell it in the town. Looking around this street alone, Qiulin has already spotted three.There are a lot of things but cheap, so these things are naturally worthless.

Qiulin took a closer look at the dustpan baskets and baskets that his father had woven, all of them were neatly woven and impeccable.Father's handicrafts are well-known in Luoshui Village, otherwise the proprietress of the grocery store would not have taken a fancy to what father wove.After these things are woven, they are full of heavy objects such as grain and sand, so the load-bearing capacity is naturally larger.As for the woven fabrics that my father wove, the strips of bamboo strips are very thin, and the bottom of the basket is specially thickened, so that they are arranged neatly and densely.On a whim, Qiulin took a basket, stood upside down, and then sat on it as if nothing had happened.

"Little sister, you are sitting on the ground with weak legs!" Qiuyue watched anxiously, if the bottom of the basket could not bear it, it would not be a big deal if the basket was crushed, but it would be bad if the little sister fell from the top.

Qiulin smiled and looked at Qiuyue with a surprised face, "Don't worry, big sister, it's okay. And, don't worry, someone will come to buy these things soon." Qiulin said mysteriously and confidently, which made several The curiosity of each child was hoisted.And Xia Yan, who was planning to go to his own pharmacy, also lay down peacefully in the same place.Anyway, when they run out of these, they still have to sell Smilax, so there is no need to worry.

Sure enough, a man in his thirties with a mustache stopped in front of the stall, "Son, you sit on the basket with such a big thorn, are you afraid of crushing it?" Big, during the busy season of autumn harvest and farming, the whole family has to wear out at least a dozen or so.Although this little baby is only six years old, it weighs at least thirty catties.Seeing that she was sitting on top of the basket as steadily as Mount Tai, but the basket was fine, the man with the mustache was a little surprised.

The fish took the bait, and Qiulin patted the basket on the side with his hand, smiling brightly. "Look, uncle, the inside of our basket is reinforced with a layer, and the fine weaving will naturally bear a lot more weight. It is definitely not a problem to use it to pick up grains, sand and gravel." Qiulin patted again. He patted his chest and spoke confidently.

The man with the mustache took a closer look, and it was really what Qiulin said. "How do you sell this basket?" The load-bearing capacity of this basket is better than that of ordinary ones. If the price is similar, then you might as well buy this one and take it home!
"Six coins!" Qiu Lin replied crisply, with happy smiles on her brows.Xia Yan looked on in a daze, this girl, I have to say, is very smart.

The man with the mustache thought about it again, the price was only a penny more than the ordinary basket, not too much.So he also said straightforwardly: "Okay, I'll buy five." He quickly untied his pocket and took out a handful of copper coins, and counted thirty for Qiulin.

Qiulin followed it with both hands, and said very politely: "Thank you uncle, uncle, go slowly."

After the opening, the people around came over one after another.Sometimes people follow the trend when buying things, so in front of the pavements in the market, some are crowded with water, while others are uninterested. This is the means of the operators!It didn't take long for the baskets and dustpans that my father had woven to be robbed, and the wild vegetables were also sold out.

Qiuyue's purse swelled up again, seeing Qiulin's children smiling all over their faces.Qiulin put on the small backpack on the side, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the drug store and sell these Smilax cocos, so we can go home early!"

"Ah Huang, where are you going?" As soon as Qiu Lin finished speaking, Qiu He saw sharply that the big yellow dog that was lying on its stomach suddenly got its legs up and rushed towards the crowded street.Qiuhe looked shocked, and ran after him there.Qiuyue Qiusong and the others also changed their expressions greatly, put away their purses and started to chase after them.Qiu Song held Qiu Lin's hand tightly, while Qiu Yue told Qiu He to slow down while running.There are people coming and going on this street, who knows if there are any shooters in this crowd, if they meet, Qiu He will be miserable.Qiuyue was anxious to death, but she could only follow Qiuhe eagerly, for fear that if she made a mistake, she would lose Qiuhe.

In this way, Qiuhe chased the big yellow dog, Qiuyue chased Qiuhe, Qiusong chased Qiuyue and ran through the whole street. Finally, the big yellow dog stopped at an intersection.Qiu He rushed up and hugged Ah Huang's hind legs, panting heavily and cursing: "Why are you so nervous, why don't you run away if you have nothing to do! It made me gasp for breath after chasing him, it's so uncomfortable!"

But at this moment, the big yellow dog that suddenly went mad suddenly calmed down, letting Qiuhe hold its hind legs, and staring at the pharmacy next to the intersection where people come and go, and finally fixed on the door plaque , "Rong'an Hall" gleamed in the sunlight, swearing at Fang Qiu.Yes, this is his home, his pharmacy.Xia Yan suddenly felt more timid than affectionate, and dared not take a step closer to Rong An Tang.

Qiuyue just followed up at this moment. After chasing for such a long time, she was already out of breath. When she stopped now, she felt that her legs were very weak, as if they were no longer her legs. "What are you running for? It's really going to cause trouble!"

Qiu Song dragged the little girl to arrive late, gasped and said: "Okay, big sister, Ah Huang stopped, let's go to the pharmacy and buy these Smilax cocos."

The soil tuckahoe that my younger sister dug up originally weighed about three catties, but now after drying, only one catty is left.I don't know how much I can sell it for?

Qiuyue felt relieved at this moment, but she still felt uncomfortable, "In the future, I really put something around Ah Huang's neck to prevent him from running around like this." It's also mixed with good and bad people, and it's hard to tell whether it's good or bad. If it gets lost and falls into the wrong hands, I don't know how to deal with it.

"Ha, look, there is a pharmacy over there!" Qiu Lin clapped his hands happily, and pointed to Rong'an Hall not far away with his index finger.A sweet smile like digging a treasure appeared on his face.

Qiu He looked along, "What, it's really true, let's go over and ask!" Qiu He wiped his eyes, and sure enough, there were a variety of drawers in the shop not far away, with red paper pasted on them as signs , it seems that it is really a pharmacy!And looking at the layout of the pharmacy, it seems that the pharmacy is quite impressive.

Qiuyue scratched her head in confusion. This Ah Huang was always obedient, but today he ran forward recklessly, and finally stopped not far from the medicine shop. Thinking about it carefully, why does it feel so weird?
"Sister, since there is a pharmacy, let's go over and ask the price first." Qiu Song pulled Qiu Lin up and walked towards the pharmacy.The large characters "Rong'an Hall" on the plaque in front of the shop are shining brightly, but it is also a beautiful scenery in this lively market.He has heard of this name before, it is one of the best big pharmacies in this town.

Qiu Lin was led by the second elder brother. After Qiuyue regained her composure, she looked at Ah Huang a few times, and suddenly felt suspicious again, so she dispelled her doubts, took Qiu He's hand, and went to the pharmacy.

Xia Yan followed behind and walked towards Rong'an Hall step by step. The closer he got, the more he felt his heart tense up.The truth is close at hand, but he is afraid to touch the truth. If there are ghosts and ghosts in his body, it will be good, and his father and mother have disappeared for many days since his accident. How are they all doing now?
"Didn't you be able to run just now? Why are you slowing down like a bastard right now? Are you trying to fight against me?" Qiu He turned her head and saw that Ah Huang was slower than a turtle, and puffed up her cheeks and started cursing .

Rong An Tang is a large pharmacy with a relatively large scale in this town, and there is an endless stream of ordinary people who come here to see a doctor every day.At this moment, the Rong'an hall was already extremely busy, and there was already a line of no.The little drug boys below were too busy to touch the ground, so no one in the drug store noticed the arrival of Qiulin's little ones.

Unexpectedly, there would be so many patients in the pharmacy, Qiuyue and Qiusong looked at each other.Seeing a medicine boy running this way, Qiu Song quickly grabbed the man's arm, "Brother, may I ask..."

Before Qiu Song could ask, the little drug boy broke away impatiently, and bluffed: "I didn't see that I'm very busy at the moment. If you want to see a doctor, you should line up first. Go there and line up first!" As he spoke, the little drug boy ran away.

"Uh..." Qiu Song watched the man slip away with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Then what should we do?" Qiu He pointed her fingers and asked her eldest sister and second brother suspiciously.The people in this pharmacy are very busy, just those patients have what they suffer, how can there be time to recruit them?
