Chapter 98
Bai Jasmine thought hard for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

deny.

No matter what other people said, she shook her head and said she didn't know, didn't know, it was none of her business.

And she wanted to persuade her father to take her to sell the batch of herbs she picked before her sister-in-law and grandma returned home.

In this way, there will be no clues left, and a sum of private money can be obtained, which is perfect.

After figuring this out, Bai Jasmine quickly ran to find Bai Qi.

"Father, I sneaked into the mountain yesterday afternoon while everyone was not paying attention, and picked a lot of herbs. While my grandma and my sister-in-law were away, you took me to the county to sell all the herbs?"

"What, you went into the mountain alone? Didn't you encounter any danger? Didn't your sister-in-law say that the mountain is dangerous and there are bandits? How dare you go alone." Bai Baiqi's first reaction was worry.

"Father, you heard my sister talking nonsense there. There are no bandits in the mountains. It's because she went out by herself. She didn't want others to go into the mountains to collect medicine and sell money at this time, so she made it up on purpose. I won't come back well. ?" Bai Jasmine pouted with disgust.

"It shouldn't be, Lizi has no reason to deceive everyone in the village because of such a trivial matter." Bai Baiqi was a little bit disbelieving.

"Father, think about what my sister-in-law was like before? How did she deceive us and play tricks on us?"

During the day, Qi thought of Bai Jinli's past evil deeds again, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his inner thoughts.

At this moment, Niu walked in from the outside, seeing Bai Jasmine and Bai Baiqi's appearance, couldn't help but start talking.

"What's going on, what are you two father and daughter thinking with big eyes and small eyes?"

"Mother, hurry up and persuade my father, it's like this..." Bai Moli told Niu Shi again what she just said.

After hearing this, Niu slapped Bai Baiqi on the arm, with dissatisfaction and anxiety on his face.

"Boss, you are stupid. What our family Jasmine said makes sense. Anyway, Jasmine has picked the herbs back. You still don't think of a way to take her to the county to sell herbs. What are you waiting for?"

"But if Mother and Lizi know about this, wouldn't it be great?" Bai Baiqi was vaguely worried.

"What's wrong? We didn't do anything bad. Jasmine picked the herbs, and you went to sell them. Is there any problem?

Besides, don't you even think about it, how hard our little Ming is studying in the town, why don't you try every means to save more private money to subsidize him? " Niu began to persuade.

"That's right, Dad, my brother will have to pass the exam and become an official in the future. Then our family will be prosperous. If you don't help my brother now, what hope can our family have? Can you wait and see?" Will grandma persuade my brother to come back and go to the fields?" Bai Moli said.

The Bai Xiaoming they were talking about was Bai Baiqi and Niu's eldest son, and Bai Moli's biological brother, who was 15 years old this year.

When I was young, I was very studious, and every day when I went out to work, I slipped out of the college window to listen to my master's lectures, and learned a lot over time.

The master saw that he was serious and eager to learn, so he took the initiative to work as a lobbyist in the Bai family, so that he could have the opportunity to study.

Mrs. Li was naturally unwilling, but she couldn't stand the back and forth persuasion from the master and Mr. Bai, so she had to agree.

From then on, Bai Xiaoming studied hard, became the third child student after Shen Qinghan, and went to the town to continue his studies.

Because he was afraid of Mrs. Li and hated Bai Jinli, a sister-in-law, Bai Xiaoming, who finally left home, didn't come back very easily.

When he has nothing to do, he helps others to copy books, writes letters for him to earn a little money, and from time to time, Bai Qi even uses the private money he saved to subsidize Bai Xiaoming.

The people in their second room know this matter well.

"Okay, after lunch, pack up your things and let's sneak to the county." Bai Tianqi thought of his own son, but he was finally persuaded.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away."

Bai Jasmine happily ran to the backyard, poured her newly picked herbs aside to dry, and put them into her back basket before drying, and hid them aside.

After lunch, under Niu's cover, the father and daughter sneaked out of the house and walked towards the entrance of the village with baskets on their backs.

Originally, I wanted to hail a car to go to the county, but I couldn't wait.

The distance in the county is relatively far, and it would be a waste of time to walk there.

When the two of them came together, they might as well go to the town. Anyway, there is also a pharmacy in the town, so it won't waste too much time to walk there, and they can also drop by to see Bai Xiaoming.

After walking for a long time, the two of them were sweating on their tired foreheads, and finally arrived in the town.

Compared with the county, the town is naturally not as prosperous as the county seat, and it is now afternoon, and there are not many people.

The father and daughter found a pharmacy, and stood at the door a little hesitantly.

After a long time, Tian Tiancai cheered himself up, then gritted his teeth and stepped in with Bai Jasmine.

When the boy in the store saw someone coming to the door, he ran over to ask him what kind of disease he was seeing.

Bai Tianqi said that there were herbs for sale, the boy thought they were looking for trouble, and immediately drove them out of the house impatiently.

"Father, what's the matter? We just went to sell herbs, why were we kicked out? Why did sister-in-law and the others sell the herbs so easily?"

At the pharmacy, Bai Jasmine was as quiet as a quail, not daring to say a word.

After I came out, I was full of problems and dissatisfaction.

"It must be because we didn't perform well just now, let's go, dad will take you to another pharmacy to try." Bai Tianqi thought for a while, and walked to the next pharmacy unwillingly.

Speaking of which, he often went to the county to help the family buy things, and he also dealt with many people, but he had more troubles than Bai Yi, an honest big brother.

The bad thing is that he was not at ease in his heart, so he didn't have the confidence when he went in just now, so he was kicked out.

Soon, Bai Baiqi adjusted his mentality and brought Bai Jasmine back into a pharmacy.

This time, the people from the pharmacy didn't drive them out, but asked them to take out the herbs to check.

"Yo, not bad, is this herbal medicine that has been dried?"

"Well, yes, the shopkeeper, do you accept it?" Bai Baiqi looked at the shopkeeper pretending to be sure.

"Accept, of course." The shopkeeper nodded.

"What about the price?"

"The price is naturally calculated according to the price circulated in the market. This Polygonum multiflorum, 23 renminbi, first half summer, [-] renminbi, motherwort, [-] renminbi..."

After the shopkeeper's report was over, he secretly raised his head and looked at Bai Baiqi with a narrow and sharp gaze, and then he opened his mouth with a smile.

"What do you two think of the price?"

"Are you sure the price is the same in the market? Shopkeeper, we are the villagers around here. If the price you give is fair, then we can continue to cooperate. Don't lie to us."

"Don't dare." The shopkeeper shook his head, but a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes.

After probing, he learned that the two people in front of him did not understand herbal medicine.

As for how these herbs came from, and whether there is hope for cooperation next time, he is not sure.

In this way, if he intentionally lowered the price by half, it can be regarded as a profit for him.

"How much silver can these be sold for in total?"

"You two sit down for a while, have a sip of tea and some snacks. After my apprentice has weighed the herbs and calculated them, I will pay you. Don't worry, I will cooperate with you sincerely, and naturally I will not cheat you." The shopkeeper spoke thoughtful words.

"Yeah." Bai Tianqi snorted and took a sip of the tea beside him.

Bai Jasmine stared at the snacks for a long time, and finally couldn't help but picked one up and started to eat.

While eating, I heard the shopkeeper say that the medicinal materials have been settled, and I have to pay them.

Bai Jasmine swallowed the remaining snacks in one gulp, then secretly took out her handkerchief when no one was looking, wrapped two and stuffed them into her sleeves.

"A total of 110 seven essays, for the sake of our first cooperation, I will give you 120 essays."

"Why so?" Bai Baiqi frowned.

He remembered clearly that it was the first time Bai Jinli went to the county with such a basket of herbs, and it sold for more than 200 Wen.

"Look at what you said, I've asked you about the price, and you agree, the things are weighed by our apprentices, so there will definitely be no problem. If you think it's not good, then go to another place to have a look."

"Father, it's more than 100 Wen, which is not a lot. We can save some money by running a few more times." Bai Moli quickly tugged on Bai Qi's sleeve.

The shopkeeper saw these things in his eyes, became more confident in his guess, and smiled more kindly on the surface.

"That's fine." Even though Bai Baiqi felt something was wrong, he could only agree.

Who told him not to understand these market conditions, unlike those who bought things in the past, they knew everything about prices.

The two took the money and came out of the pharmacy. Bai Jasmine had a happy face.

"Father, I picked this herbal medicine, can you share some with me as private money?"

"Well, I'll give you twenty coins, and send the rest to your brother." Bai Baiqi said.

"alright."

After seeing Bai Xiaoming, the two of them planned to rush home. Bai Moli held the twenty coins in her hand, and the six coins that Bai Jinli gave her before, a total of 26 coins, which was a bit itchy.

In the end, she couldn't help but went to a stall, bought a box of rouge with her only 26 Wen, and gave her a new hair rope as a gift from the stall owner.

After receiving the things she bought with the money she earned, Bai Jasmine was very happy, and she was very happy along the way.

"Father, I will work harder in the future and gather more herbs, and we will sell them there for money."

"Well, let's change houses next time." Bai Baiqi said.

"Why?"

"You don't understand, it's better to ask a few more, and you can compare prices."

"Father, you are still smart, you are right."

The two of them drove for a long time, but they could be regarded as returning home.

Bai Moli had just put down her basket, went to the kitchen to pour two bowls of water, and handed Bai Baiqi a bowl to drink, when she saw Niu come out and speak in a panic.

"It's not good, do you know? Something happened!"
