Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 218 You don't want to sell your daughter, do you?
Chapter 218 You don't want to sell your daughter, do you?
Lin Tao shrugged unconsciously. She really didn't expect that just one black ginseng could be sold for a hundred taels of gold!
Then there are so many things in my backpack...
At this moment, there was only one question in her mind, if she exchanged everything for gold, could Niu Zizi get it back?
When I was lost in thought, I heard the old man suddenly say: "If the old lady is not satisfied with the price, just ask. The price is easy to discuss."
Xiaowu shook her forgetfully, and she came back to her senses.
"Well, it's not a matter of price! The reputation of Deyi Hall is one of the best in Qingyuan Town. Naturally, it won't fool an old woman. It's just that the old woman has something and wants to discuss it with the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper's expression immediately relaxed.
"Old lady, please speak."
"It's like this. I have a grandson who is nine years old. He wants to study medicine and become a doctor. I don't know if he can get a job under the shopkeeper's door. From now on, whenever I dig out good medicinal materials, I will definitely send them to you. You know?
Do you think so?"
The shopkeeper stroked the beard on his chin and frowned again and again.
After a long while, he said seriously: "Not everyone in the world can study medicine. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is only one in a thousand. Thanks to the old lady, I can send it to you for a look. But I will tell you the truth, if you don't have talent, you can't get started.
It’s not that I’m being picky, but that I don’t delay my baby’s future.”
This was said to Lin Tao's heart.
Suddenly she had a little more admiration for the shopkeeper.
After all, the medicinal materials he wanted to buy with a lot of money were placed in front of him, but it did not affect the bottom line of his life at all.
"Then I'll thank the shopkeeper." Then they agreed on a date for their next meeting.
When collecting gold ingots, Lin Tao weighed them habitually.
The weight of the gold ingots sold for the wild boar last time is about 300 grams.
He put all the gold into his satchel and pulled Xiao Wu out of Deyi Hall.
Xiao Wu was unusually quiet. He turned around and noticed that this man was still staring, like a soulless walking zombie.
He raised his hand and waved it in front of Xiao Wu's eyes, but Xiao Wu didn't even blink.
Lin Tao stopped in a hurry: "Fifth girl, are you okay?"
Xiao Wu, who suddenly came back to his senses, let out a sigh and stared at her blankly.
"What's going on? It feels like you have lost your soul."
Xiao Wu stammered two words: "Gold."
Okay, then she remembered that this was the first time Xiao Wu saw gold, and it was only ten ingots.
Lin Tao threw her hand away angrily: "Can you be a little promising? Hurry up and go back to Shopkeeper Xu to settle the bill. We have to rush home."
Xiaowu followed behind him as if he was wandering for nine days.
Return to Xu Deren's shop.
Xiao Lizi brought the tea, and behind him there was a new waiter carrying a charcoal basin.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be the man who came back to borrow food from Xu Deren, and she was also following him.
"This little brother looks so familiar."
The man wore the same jacket as Xiao Lizi, and his messy hair before was now wrapped up tightly.
"I met my aunt. At that time, I came to shopkeeper Xu to borrow food. Shopkeeper Xu helped me a lot and allowed me to be a clerk in the store."
Lin Tao nodded, remembering that when she followed him, this man had a newborn baby at home.
I guess Xu Deren also liked this and hired him to work in the shop.
Everyone understands that if there are more people, more food will be distributed.
It can be seen that Xu Deren is really kind-hearted.
I tightened my belt and thought I could help one by one.
Xu Deren came over, and Xiao Lizi called the man away.
"Auntie, this is the money for four wild boars." He said, taking out a gold ingot and five silver ingots.
Lin Tao remembered that when she came today, Xu Deren had said that all the wealthy families in the town were short of meat.
He took out a piece of silver and put it back in Xu Deren's hand.
"This is what shopkeeper Xu deserves."
"Thank you, thank you, auntie."
In the past, he was unwilling to ask for it.
But things are different now. Many people still point to him to support their families!
The price of selling water has increased from 20 cents per spoonful to 100 yuan per spoonful. The dividends from selling charcoal alone are almost not enough anymore.
"This belongs to the deer."
Xu Deren put another ingot of gold in her hand.
He also explained: "I need to explain this to my aunt because the deer is skinned and the blood is not fresh anymore, so the price can only be this way. I will try my best."
"I don't mean to blame you. Thank you for your trouble." She handed over another ingot of silver.
"I can't have it, I can't have it. My aunt is kind-hearted, and it's only because of my shop and these guys that I can have enough money to stutter. If I don't take it anymore, I'll be greedy!"
Pushing Xu Deren's hand that handed the money away, Lin Tao said straightly: "I didn't ask you to get it for free. I have something else and I would like to ask the shopkeeper for help."
Xu Deren was stunned for a moment.
Lin Tao said quickly: "I want to buy a yard. It would be best if I could have a second yard with a shop. The location is better, not too far away. I also want to bother the shopkeeper to ask if there is any wasteland nearby.
For sale? In the woods, of course the bigger the better."
One black ginseng can be sold for a hundred taels of gold, and she even has a basket on her back!
To describe her as rich and powerful is not an exaggeration, right?
"If you don't use some money to do things outside, you won't be able to do it. So I would like to ask shopkeeper Xu to accept this money, so that I can feel more at ease. I need the house urgently, so I hope shopkeeper Xu will pay more attention to it. As for the price,
Of course the cheaper the better.”
Even though she is wealthy, she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
Wouldn’t it be nice to buy more houses with the money you save?
It's not bad to be a charterer in ancient times.
"Yes, don't worry, Auntie, when you come back next time, you will find a house to stay in."
The things were done, the money was collected, and Niu Zaizi also filled his stomach with Xu Deren.
Although there was very little fodder, Xu Deren would prepare some for Niu Zaizi every time she came.
The most comfortable feeling is when you get along with others and value each other.
After leaving Xu Deren's place, Lin Tao went directly to Fangshi.
The strange thing is that not only did the place not become deserted because of the heavy snow, it was actually much livelier than before the snow.
When she walked in and took a look, Lin Tao took a breath.
The markets that used to sell grain were now selling women and children.
Dare you imagine?
There was a woman holding her child, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Several children were hugging each other, shivering.
There are even swaddled babies!
Lin Tao walked over, and the man shouted to her: "Auntie, look at it, the boy has never been sick! My mother-in-law still has breasts. If you buy them back, you can be a nanny! Don't look at her, she has lost some weight.
The milk is so abundant! Look at her clothes. Even after the baby is full, the clothes can get wet! You buy it, you won’t lose money!”
Xiao Wu suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.
When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Wu's face was actually blue.
She bit her lip, the corners of her lips trembling, and the corners of her eyes filled with tears.
Lin Tao raised her eyebrows, wondering if Xiao Wu had misunderstood something?
Sure enough, Xiaowu suddenly whispered: "Mom! You don't want to sell your daughter, do you?" This chapter has been completed!
