(Thank you atjyjj for the pink ticket, thank you to all the friends who support "Nongjia"~\(≧▽≦)/~)

After walking for half an hour, Xiuniang and the others finally entered the town. The road was a little crowded, so Chu Ge and Xiuniang got out of the car and walked with the cattle.

Going forward, you will arrive at the morning market. This place is more lively than the one in front of it. All the surroundings are for business, and there are some food stalls next to it. Don’t close them, and the heat is still bubbling.

At this moment, the two little devils in the car should be having a good time, but now they are bored. When they came earlier, they were very restless, clamoring anxiously to enter the town.

But the more impatient the two of them were, the road couldn't be short, right? They were tired after making a fuss all the way, and now they'd let off steam.

Xiu Niang looked at it and smiled, and asked Chu Ge to take the two of them to eat some delicious food first. There happened to be a sweet bean stand there, so she had to take the Er Bao Teng Er first, so Take the silver to find things to buy.

Chu Ge saw that many small alleys in the market were occupied by roadside stalls. He was afraid that Xiu Niang would go the wrong way, so he said, "Xiu Niang, why don't I take you there first and come back later..."

Xiu Niang turned around and picked up the two bamboo baskets on the cart, smiled and mumbled a few words before leaving, "It's okay, I still know the way, you can just leave it here and wait for me when you're done."

Fortunately, Qian Street is not far from the market, so she took a shortcut and turned a corner. Although she seldom drove to the town in the past and was not very familiar with it, she still remembered the Tairen Pharmacy best.

She entered the shop with a bamboo basket in one hand, and the little guy on the cabinet in front of the door was pulling a string to tie herbal medicine bags. He raised his eyes and saw her, and came over after finishing his work with a smile. up.

Because there were a lot of people who came to grab the medicine in the first half of the day, the boy chatted with the counter next door, and took Xiu Niang to the small room behind.

That piece of land was supposed to be the place where an old doctor in the shop used to see the doctor. It's just that he didn't come here because he had something to do in the house today, so he could keep it quiet.

This Xiuniang originally sent Erbao vines to the shop, and shopkeeper Tian received them personally, so the shop assistants were very impressed with this delicate and quiet sister-in-law, and their attitude was also very good.

The reason why they have a good attitude is because every time Xiu Niang comes, she will bring them some local eggs.

Because when Xiuniang came here for the first time earlier, she left a dozen or so local eggs, so that shopkeeper Tian could fry them and eat them by herself. If you don't go out, you won't be able to finish eating by yourself.

But the shopkeeper Tian didn't eat too much, so she gave it to the guys to eat. Later, she sent some Erbao vines, and the shopkeeper Tian went out, and those guys chattered with her and praised her. The local eggs are delicious.

After hearing this, Xiuniang understood, so she said that whenever she went to the town to pick up Erbao vines, she would bring them some, so that they could cook and eat by themselves at night to satisfy their hunger.

Based on the fact that these guys are all poor children from the neighboring villages, most of them are apprentices in the pharmacy, including food and money, and everyone eats the big pot of rice, how can there be any good.

They are all fifteen or sixteen years old now, and it is the time when they eat a lot, and it would be nice to have an egg every now and then.

The young man pushed open the small door in the inner room to let Xiu Niang in, and said with a smile, "Oh, sister-in-law of the Chu family, we've been talking about why you don't come shopping for herbs these days."

Xiu Niang smiled and chattered, "The family was busy a while ago, but luckily there are more herbs in the sun today, so I rushed to town."

After entering the room, Xiu Niang put a basket on the table and handed him another basket. In addition to the Erbao rattan, there was also a cloth bundle.

Xiu Niang pointed at the cloth bag and said, "These chickens have been lazy for the past two days, so don't lay eggs. This is all I have today, so share it with you."

The little boy took his hand and looked at the cloth bag, which contained at least twenty eggs, "Oh, sister-in-law of the Chu family, you...then we will accept it, but thank you."

"Thank you so much," Xiu Niang looked at and sat down on the chair, "Oh, by the way, little brother, these days I haven't come, does our pharmacy keep the Erbao Vine?"

Holding the egg basket, the little boy shook his head, "Mo, even though there were two bags of medicinal herbs, we didn't report them to the shopkeeper. Those are not eye-catching, not as good as sister-in-law's."

Xiu Niang just smiled when she heard it, thinking that it's not that other people's eggs are bad, but that they didn't bring home-grown eggs.

The little guy grinned and muttered something, exited the room, and came in with a cup of tea after a while, "Sister-in-law, please wait first, the shopkeeper Tian is in the backyard, bring the silver when you're done."

She happened to be a little thirsty while driving, "Thank you, brother." The boy smiled and went out.

It's customary to come in to see the goods and pay the bill when the goods are ready. She has to pass the test of shopkeeper Tian when she brings the Erbao vine.

During this time of living a bag of cigarettes, she drank the bowl to the bottom, and the manager of the field came to live, watching the man enter the door, smiling, but she was satisfied with Erbao Teng this time very.

He walked in and greeted Xiu Niang, and he couldn't help but praise her when he sat on the chair.

"Sister-in-law, this time the Erbao Rattan weighs three to five pounds, which is not far from the original one, but the number is [-]% more than the previous one. This is the first time I have seen To such fine herbs."

"I don't have to say that my sister-in-law has a pair of sharp eyes and a pair of skillful hands. You searched and selected materials very well, and you set them off at the right time. You didn't burst the flower buds, but the loss was superfluous, dry but not brittle. Also, you Can you pay attention to its own color..."

"...This is the best product. I remember that I didn't come across such a finished product when I was in a foreign country. I often collected some mixed with weeds. At that time, a few guys and I..."

Shopkeeper Tian kept talking non-stop, and Xiu Niang didn't interrupt, and when she heard something that was useless, she cleared her throat in a timely manner.

The shopkeeper of that field is also a person on the scene, so I understood it all at once.

He scolded himself with a smile, took out the money from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Hey, I almost forgot when I was talking... My sister-in-law is rude, it's five or three dollars."

Xiu Niang counted, put them in her sleeves, raised her hand to grab the bamboo basket on the table and was about to get up.

The shopkeeper of the field glanced at it, and said quickly, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute." He put a handful out of the bamboo basket in his hand, wiped it on his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Xiu Niang waited at the side, "What's wrong, shopkeeper Tian, ​​is there anything wrong with my basket of Erbao vines?"

Shopkeeper Tian put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then smiled at Xiuniang, "Sister-in-law, this basket of Erbao vines is exactly the same as the one just now."

Xiu Niang nodded and smiled, "Oh, it's okay."

Shopkeeper Tian put what he was holding into the basket, and said with a smile, "Since they are from the same batch, why didn't my sister-in-law sell them to me as well?"

Xiu Niang said "Ouch", "Master Tian, ​​your pharmacy is big, don't I keep a lot of baskets for you, this basket is less, there is a shop that needs it, I am giving it to you." from my family."

Shopkeeper Tian asked, "Which one?"

Xiu Niang pretended to think about it, "Well, I don't know, it's just that last time I went out from here, the man stopped me and asked me what I was looking for, so I said it was the Pouter Treasure Vine. of."

"Well, he asked us if we bought it here again, and I said that the manager of the field is watching, and he is about to come down. Hey, after listening to this man, he asked me to carry a basket for him next time. He said that there is also a pharmacy in his own town."

Shopkeeper Tian frowned when he heard this, and his whole face was wrinkled, as if he was very bored.

Xiu Niang sticks out her tongue secretly on the sidelines. In fact, what she just said is all made up, just to set a trap for shopkeeper Tian.

Now Xiuniang didn't make a sound, she knew that shopkeeper Tian was thinking about who was going to sing with him, he wanted the Erbao vine, and others would follow suit immediately when they knew it, usually they would do this People can only be their own colleagues.

Shopkeeper Tian thought for a while, and asked Xiu Niang, "Sister-in-law, is the man you're talking about a middle-aged man in his forties with a beautiful mustache?"

It seems that people are hooked, or as the old saying goes, if you do business in the same industry, you will be bored when you meet each other. No matter what kind of business you are in, there must be someone in the industry who hates you, just like the firewood and firecrackers. , It crackled as soon as it touched it.

Xiu Niang looked at him and replied, "Yes, that's the man, then I have to leave quickly, maybe that man is waiting for me."

Shopkeeper Tian stretched out his hand and shouted "slow", and then smiled, "Sister-in-law, I think you might as well give me this basket of Erbao vines, so that you can save running around."

Xiu Niang was taken aback when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed, "But, this is not good, I had already accepted him before, and he said he wanted me to..."

Shopkeeper Tian interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, you have to know that you are pocketing money with me now, and the money is in your hands immediately. This is what you say, it is accurate, after all, you only listened to that person earlier. One-sided words..."

Xiu Niang asked first, "Hey, Shopkeeper Tian, ​​you don't just eat it at one side. The man said he wanted to buy it. Did he know that it was Erbao vine, but he didn't think it was dried cauliflower."

Shopkeeper Tian sneered, the little country woman didn't speak congenially, "Sister-in-law is very funny, I mean, that person only said that he wanted you to send Erbaoteng there, but he didn't take you to recognize the shop. If you go to the wrong door, aren't you really being tricked by others?"

Xiu Niang nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, shopkeeper Tian, ​​what you said is right, then I'd better let you go. If someone wants to ask for it after I'm done, I must go to Ren'er's shop to have a look, it's best Receive the down payment first."

Shopkeeper Tian just heard that it was a joy, but he was stunned when Xiu Niang said the last sentence, and he thought about it for a while.

"Uh, sister-in-law, you see that you have been giving me the Erbao vine for the past few days. Otherwise, from today onwards, you should stop running around with the basket, and keep the Erbao vine from now on. Bring it to me, I want it all."

Xiu Niang secretly smiled, she is very cute.
