In the drug store, in addition to the slightly bowed shopkeeper in front of him, there was also a young boy who looked like an apprentice.
Qiao Huaping didn't intend to use this Ganoderma lucidum to overwhelm the shopkeeper in front of him.
They all come from poor families, and the shopkeeper also wears patches on his sleeves.
Qiao Huaping paused: "Please quote a price."
The medicine shop owner cautiously opened his mouth: "... It stands to reason that a product as good as the Ganoderma lucidum on the lady's hand should be fetched at least fifty taels of silver. However, my medicine shop usually operates on a small budget, and I don't have that much cash...
…”
He discussed with Qiao Huaping, "There is a customer who is in urgent need of this Ganoderma lucidum. How about I connect you with it?"
Qiao Huaping shook his head.
The reason why she didn't show up just now was because she felt that the man was so violent and mentally abnormal.
It's not that she's afraid of him, it's just that he finds it troublesome.
Qiao Huaping picked the smallest Ganoderma lucidum from the space and pulled it out, with the intention of testing the waters.
I have to say that this medicine shop shopkeeper is really kind and kind. He is worthy of being the true shopkeeper in the story my grandma told me, who often gave medicines and medicines.
The other party quoted fifty taels, which was slightly higher than Qiao Huaping's psychological expectation.
Qiao Huaping was also very happy: "Fifty taels is fifty taels. Give me whatever silver you have, and the rest will be paid with the medicinal materials in your pharmacy. What do you think?"
Although Qiao Huaping said that you can use local materials to make herbal tea or pills from herbs in the mountains. But in fact, many medicinal materials need to be processed, which cannot be completed in a day or two. At this time, you need to use some ready-made ones.
Just in time, I can refill some at the drug store.
The drug store owner was stunned.
This... this little lady is so nice!
He came back to his senses and said quickly: "Yes, yes!... You look at the medicinal materials first! I'll collect the money! I'll give the lady the purchase price in a while!"
He called the young apprentice to greet Qiao Huaping, then he lifted the curtain, bowed his back slightly, and went to the inner room to get the money.
Qiao Huaping pointed to the cabinet and asked the young apprentice what the medicinal materials were, and also asked about the price. The young apprentice scratched his hair and stumbled back.
The young apprentice is obviously a real person. The drugstore shopkeeper said that he would give Qiao Huaping the purchase price, so he obviously quoted the purchase price directly for Qiao Huaping.
Some of the drawers contained some medicinal materials that the young apprentice had forgotten, so Qiao Huaping simply opened the drawer and took a look.
After doing this, when the medicine shop owner came back, Qiao Huaping had already looked through all the medicinal materials in the tall cabinets, and he had a pretty good idea.
The drugstore shopkeeper took out a cloth bag and unfolded it on the counter. Inside was a lot of scattered silver and even a lot of copper plates.
The drug store owner was a little surprised: "I left a few or two to go around, and the rest are all here. About thirty taels."
Qiao Huaping nodded, calculating quickly in his mind, and reported the name and weight of the medicinal materials in a series.
The medicine shop owner was stunned, and quickly made a calculation based on the medicinal materials and weights reported by Qiao on the screen.
After the calculation, everyone was stunned.
No more, no less, exactly twenty taels.
The medicine shop owner didn't believe such a coincidence. He looked at Qiao Huaping in astonishment.
Qiao Huaping seemed to know why the medicine shop owner was so surprised. She smiled and said, "I learned some arithmetic before."
The medicine shop owner's eyes changed when he looked at Qiao Huaping.
This little lady is so awesome!
Qiao Huaping left the Ganoderma lucidum behind, carrying about a dozen pairs of cloth shoes in one hand, three large bags of medicinal materials in the other hand, and thirty taels of silver in the bag, which can be said to be a full load.
However, when he arrived at a place with no one around, Qiao Huaping put the cloth shoes, three large bags of medicinal materials and the thirty taels of silver into the space in one breath.
Qiao Huaping went to a grocery store again, and when she came out, she bought another large bag of things. Because she bought more, the shopkeeper of the grocery store even gave her a piece of furoshiki.
When he arrived at a place where no one was around, Qiao Huaping repeated his old trick and put everything in the space.
She held her head high again and entered the dry goods store.
... After such a good visit, Rich Mrs. Qiao still had a total of ten taels of silver left with her.
Fortunately, everything he had bought was almost done, and Qiao Huaping was satisfied and ready to join the villagers.
This was when she was passing by a pastry shop and happened to see a child looking at the pastry shop with his fingers in his mouth longingly.
Qiao Huaping paused.
Her four cubs are all very sensible. Last night, when she asked her what to bring them, the four cubs all shook their heads as if they had made an appointment.
What's more, she has already worked hard to support her family, so she doesn't need to buy them anything.
Qiao Huaping naturally knew that the children were sensible.
She watched and bought some.
Passing by this dessert shop, Qiao Huaping couldn't help but go in again.
When Qiao Hua screen came out, she was holding several packages of sweet pastries in her hands.
Qiao Huaping is not worried at all that the pastries will spoil. Who gives her the space to keep them fresh indefinitely?
…
Qiao Huaping went there early, and when she saw that other villagers hadn't come to the agreed place yet, she found a wonton stall nearby, ordered a bowl of wontons, and started eating.
There were no customers at the stall, and the woman selling wontons was also idle. Since Qiao Huaping was always smiling and very kind-hearted, she sat next to Qiao Huaping and started chatting with him.
Qiao Huaping was cheerful, chatting with her aunt while eating.
When Qiao Huaping said that they were passing by while escaping from famine, the lady at the wonton stall was stunned for a long time, and then she sighed: "...the war is raging right now, and I don't know if I can find a good place far away from my homeland.
The place to stay... Well, it is better to stay at home and live or die."
Everyone has their own choice, Qiao Huaping didn't say anything, and asked for a bowl of wontons.
"The wontons you made are really delicious and full of fillings. You are so down-to-earth in your business, and you will never worry about making a good living wherever you go." Qiao Huaping said with a sweet mouth, which made the lady at the wonton stand frown.
Laughing, I ordered a few more wontons for her.
Qiao Huaping was sweating after two bowls of wontons. He was about to have a third bowl when he saw a young man from the village running over in a panic.
Qiao Huaping's heart sank, and he stopped asking his aunt for a third bowl. He stood up, wiped his mouth, put the copper plate on the table, and walked quickly towards the young man in the village.
The younger son’s name is Qingyun, and his child is only a few months old. He had asked Qiao Huaping to make rabbit bone soup before. He is a very honest and honest man who really loves his wife and children.
"Qingyun, why are you the only one?" Qiao Huaping asked.
When Qingyun saw Qiao Huaping, it was as if he had met his backbone. He was so excited: "...Ms. Qiao, go and have a look. Something happened!"
