Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 13
Tong Xiaowu remembered what the strong man said about the blacklist, if he didn't sell it to them, the medicinal materials he picked would just rot in his hands.

But if you sell it to them, isn't it just helping the evildoers?
They must often do this kind of cheating and abducting thing, and they also maliciously lower the price, just because they are the only big buyer of medicinal materials in the local area, so it is too much to bully the market like this, isn't it?

"Just don't sell."

"You..." Yaotong shook his sleeves, and hurried back to find the shopkeeper. You must know that there is someone from a wealthy family looking for Gastrodia elata, and the shopkeeper is asking them to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, Steward Chen's strategy was not working well, and the little girl was not fooled. Not only did she not sell it to them, she even threatened to go home and plant it in the field?Isn't this a joke?
Yaotong hurried to the back shop and told shopkeeper Wu about the incident. When shopkeeper Wu heard that the other party had not been fooled, he quickly got up and chased him out. There was no sign of Tong Xiaowu on the street.

Tong Xiaowu came to Shengyihang after leaving Yicaotang, their storefront is on the side of Diagonal Road.

This time, she went directly to the shopkeeper. The little drug boy saw a fat woman in rough clothes standing at the door looking for the shopkeeper, and went into the shop to call for someone without saying anything.

Not long after, a man who looked like an old man came out, "Girl, what can you do with me?"

"Shopkeeper, do you accept medicinal materials?"

"I'm sorry girl, we have collected enough medicinal materials this year..."

"What if it's gastrodia elata?" Tong Xiaowu didn't believe it, and no one wanted this kind of thing.

"Gastrodia?"

"I charge..."

Before the shopkeeper could speak, shopkeeper Wu of Yicaotang shouted. He strode in, dragging a tray covered with red cloth in his hand. The red cloth was covered with silver.

"How about I accept your Tianma for two taels of silver per catty?"

Shopkeeper Li lowered his face when he heard this: "Shopkeeper Wu, is it not good for you to do this? No one would come to other people's store to grab business, and besides, who in the medicine store in Ningyue Town doesn't know that the old lady of the county magistrate's family is lacking this taste now Medicinal materials are being searched for at high prices everywhere, and it's a bit unethical for you to do so."

Shopkeeper Wu was not angry at all, instead he laughed loudly, "Business! Whoever pays the highest price wins, this little girl, just now my servant offended me, I hope you don't take it to heart, two taels of silver per catty, would you like to ?”

"I'll pay you two too!" Shopkeeper Li knew that the county magistrate's mother was recuperating in Ningyue Town and was in urgent need of this kind of medicinal material. Although it was also available in the northwestern provincial capital, it would take two or three days to deliver it at the fastest time. Now the old lady is in urgent need.

And the reason why shopkeeper Wu is willing to pay a higher price than before is very simple, this flattery is absolutely useful.

"I'll pay three or two."

"I also offer three or two."

"I pay four taels, shopkeeper Li, the old lady of the county magistrate's house is my cousin." Shopkeeper Wu used his trump card.

Although Tong Xiaowu doesn't like Shopkeeper Wu of Yicaotang, she has already understood the current situation. The reason these two people charged her high price for Gastrodia Ma is not for anything else, but to give gifts.
In this case, she will wait a little longer, no matter what the reason is, she just needs to sell it at a high price.

As for the previous awe-inspiring righteousness, it no longer exists. What she needs now is not to save the world, but to fill her stomach.

Seeing that shopkeeper Li didn't make a sound and looked embarrassed, shopkeeper Wu laughed happily: "Are you still raising the price?"

Shopkeeper Li sighed and waved his hands: "Okay, can I not?"

"Twelve taels a catty!" Tong Xiaowu said suddenly, with a smile on her face, a look of pride on her face, since you, shopkeeper Wu, are black, then I am even blacker than you, anyway, his family's money is not for nothing.

Shopkeeper Wu looked surprised, and looked carefully at the little black girl in front of him, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was a bold master, "You...you..."

"Ten taels of silver per catty, all the gastrodia in my basket, if shopkeeper Wu doesn't want to buy, please go out?" Tong Xiaowu imitated the way of his medicine boy, picked his chin, stretched out his finger and pointed to the door s position.

"you……"

Shopkeeper Wu blew his beard and stared angrily, while shopkeeper Li stroked his beard and laughed.
"Hahaha, okay, this little girl has courage, girl, no matter whether you sell me Gastrodia elata today, I will take all your medicinal materials in the future, hahaha..."

"Little girl, do you know that the market price of gastrodia elata is only two taels of silver a catty, and you are not satisfied when I pay four taels?" Shopkeeper Wu tried to lower the price.

"Ten taels, or I won't sell it." Tong Xiaowu thought about it, if shopkeeper Wu left, she would immediately sell Tianma to shopkeeper Li, even for three taels of silver.

She is betting now that shopkeeper Wu will not give up this opportunity to give a gift to the county magistrate's old lady.

Since he runs a pharmacy and is a relative of the county magistrate's old lady, it is natural to show it off.

If he gave up this opportunity, and shopkeeper Li took Gastrodia Ma to the old lady, he would be slapped in the face. What kind of medicine business is he still doing?

"You...you...well, ten taels is ten taels, that is, there is no Gastrodia elata in our store these days, otherwise, how could I want you, little girl, let me tell you..."

"Don't talk about shopkeeper Wu, if you threaten me today, I'm afraid I'd rather take this Gastrodia elata back and use it as dali flower seeds, and I won't sell it to you..."

Tong Xiaowu interrupted Shopkeeper Wu who wanted to threaten, although she was dressed in coarse linen, but at this moment, she had a kind of domineering that was not afraid of heaven.

"Hahahaha...hahahaha..." Shopkeeper Li smiled even more happily.

Shopkeeper Wu stabilized his emotions, "Okay, get the title!"

The upper scale is one scale, five and a half catties.

This time shopkeeper Wu's face turned even darker. I thought she was talking about a catty of gastrodia elata in her hand, but I didn't expect her to have more than five catties.
This is 55 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the salary of an adult drug boy for more than three years. You must know that this will be the result. At that time, it was better not to deceive the little girl and buy it directly at the market price of two taels of silver, wasting so much money in vain.

"Give me the money, shopkeeper Wu, what else do you want? How about you buy half and I'll buy half?" Shopkeeper Li said jokingly, knowing that he would not leave others behind.

"I want both, 55 taels, I'll give..." This sentence was almost gritted out.

Shopkeeper Wu brought a plate of silver mainly to show off, but he didn't expect to spend all of it. He held Gastrodia in both hands and glared at Tong Xiaowu angrily, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves

Tong Xiaowu looked at the silver ingot in her hand, and her heart was about to jump out. She thought she could sell it for ten or eight taels, but she didn't expect to sell so much at once.
