Li Yunlan was walking around, and it really made her heartbroken when she didn't go shopping.
The shops on both sides of the street sell a wide range of things, giving Li Yunlan a sense of déjà vu when traveling in an ancient town.
It's hard to imagine that there are actually people who wear glasses. This... this... this? This is an imaginary novel. I really want to thank the original author: "You are so good! Oh, hot pot barbecue Malatang? There is really no way for anyone to survive, right?"
"Mom, what are you mumbling about?"
"It's okay, I just feel like crying."
Qiu Degui: "Ah...?"
Wonton stalls, steamed stuffed bun shops, sesame seed pancake stalls, snack bars, braised meat shops, it’s really (╯▽╰) so delicious~~, Li Yunlan licked her lips and swallowed.
Passing by an ice shop, there was a cool air-conditioning at the door. Li Yunlan couldn't help but walked in. Large chunks of ice were placed in a large porcelain basin. The boy kept chipping the ice with a chisel and planing it with a plane. , bowls of smoothies topped with juice and milk walked past her eyes.
"Auntie? Auntie?"
Li Yunlan's attention was all on the smoothie. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and see a young boy standing in front of her calling her.
"Would you like a bowl of ice, ma'am? Five hundred cents a bowl."
Li Yunlan looked back, wiped her mouth and raised her voice: "Five hundred coins a bowl?"
When the boy heard that the old lady thought it was expensive, he stood back and looked Li Yunlan up and down: "Do you want to buy it, ma'am?"
purchase? ...to the point where I thought...no money.
Li Yunlan smiled coquettishly, and then walked out of the ice cream shop.
The boy rolled his eyes from behind: "Unlucky."
Qiu Degui saw my mother entering the store at that time. He was so anxious that he didn't dare to go in. Just when he didn't know what to do, my mother came out with a flat mouth.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"A bowl of five hundred coins is more expensive than a bowl of five hundred coins. The ice bowl inside costs five hundred coins!" Li Yunlan grabbed Qiu Degui's lapel and said.
Qiu Degui is so expensive, five hundred coins a bowl, for God's sake.
"Mom, it's all my sons' incompetence. My son will work harder in the future and I'll let you have a bowl of it." Qiu Degui promised guiltily.
Li Yunlan looked at Qiu Degui's dark and red face and smiled. This son was not bad and quite filial, so she pulled him to continue shopping.
The two of them walked around for a long time and saw two medicine shops. Li Yunlan wanted to ask them if they accepted medicinal materials. There were many medicinal materials commonly seen in the countryside, and she didn't know if they wanted them.
As soon as he stepped forward, Qiu Degui pulled him back: "Mom, what do you want to do?"
"Go into the drug store."
"Are you uncomfortable there?"
"If you don't feel uncomfortable, I'll go in and take a look."
Qiu Degui wanted to stop him but was stopped by my mother's eyes.
Li Yunlan straightened his sleeves and walked into the drug store. As soon as he entered the drug store, he put on a rather amiable smile.
Standing in front of the counter, the young man greeted: "What medicine does this lady need to buy? Do you have any prescriptions?"
Li Yunlan said with a smile: "If you don't want to buy medicine, can this handsome and extraordinary young man ask if you accept medicinal materials?"
When the boy heard that he didn't want to buy medicine, he didn't want to talk to anyone, but who asked this lady to call her handsome boy: "Mom, we only accept medicinal materials, but they are all prepared medicines. We don't accept crude medicines. You know how to prepare medicinal materials." ?" The young man said and looked at the old lady.
"Oh, I don't know how to concoct it, so where can I get crude medicine?"
"There are three crude drug stores in our county, all of which sell crude drugs."
As soon as Li Yunlan heard that there was a way, he said: "Oh, thank you. Not only is your little brother handsome, but he can also write. He is really talented. Those young ladies who come to buy medicine will definitely admire him after seeing it. . Incredible! My old lady is not a liar. You are one of the rare good men in the world. My little brother is telling my old lady which herbal medicine shop is more reliable and charges more fair prices!"
After listening to Li Yunlan's rainbow farts, the young man was so happy that his face turned red to the root of his neck and said: "The shop owner of Wanhe Herbal Medicine Shop in the west of the city is the most fair and does not lower the price to retail investors."
Although he was wearing a lot of clothes, the little guy couldn't stop laughing, and he enthusiastically walked him to the door when he left.
Qiu Degui was stunned when he saw this. What on earth had I done to make the young man smile like this and send him to the door to say goodbye.
"Degui, let's go to the west of the city."
Qiu Degui came to his senses and followed his mother: "Mom, what did you say to that guy? He is so happy."
"Praise him for how good-looking he is."
Qiu Degui: That’s it?
Soon the two of them arrived in the west of the city, and from a distance they saw the word Wanhe fluttering in the wind.
When we arrived at the door, the plaque above the shop read the words 'Wanhe Shengyao Shop'.
Li Yunlan went in. There were quite a lot of people, and many people lined up with baskets on their backs to wait for the ceremony.
There are dried medicines in the backpack, some are fresh, most of them are common, such as: plantain, motherwort, mugwort leaves, mint, light bamboo leaves, prunella vulgaris, and polygonatum. The rest are sliced and dried. She arrived It's unrecognizable.
Then Li Yunlan grabbed a young man and asked, "Brother, I want to ask, do you accept medicinal materials here?"
"I'll take it." After saying that, he glanced behind Li Yunlan and said, "Auntie, do you have any medicinal materials to sell?"
"Yes, I didn't bring it over because I didn't know whether to collect it or not. Can you tell me how to collect it?"
The young man pointed to the sign in front and said: "Common medicines are priced at three cents per catty when fresh and six cents per catty when dried. If it is a special, rare and good medicine, the shopkeeper will estimate it on the spot."
Li Yunlan frowned: "The price is not too high!"
"Auntie, we have to spend a lot of time preparing this medicine after we take it back. In Songjiang County, my family is the most fair and we also accept medicine from retail households." After saying this, the boy went to work.
Li Yunlan didn't want to stand there and hinder others, so she walked out of the shop.
Fly legs are still meat when they are small, so it is difficult to make money no matter where they are! I have to start a business while I am saving money.
"Gugu~Gulu~Gulu~"
Li Yunlan heard the sound coming from the belly of her eldest son beside her. She had been running for most of the day. The porridge she had eaten in the morning had long been digested, but she only had a penny on her body. What could she eat?
I looked up and saw a small silver shop, so I walked in. There were all kinds of jewelry on the counter.
The young man entertained him warmly, and Li Yunlan asked if he would accept the old jewelry. The young man went to the back and asked the master to come over. Li Yunlan took out the package and packed it away. The master looked at it, put it on a small scale and weighed it. Then he said he would give him four taels of silver.
Li Yunlan didn't understand the market, so she turned around to look at Qiu Degui with an anxious look on her face. If the silver house was going to be lower in the future, she said that she would think about it, and if she thought about it, she would send it to her later.
After leaving the silver building, Qiu Degui said: "Mom, what are you doing? How can you sell these jewelry?"
"The family has no money, why don't we sell it and keep it?"
Qiu Degui's eyes turned red and he squatted on the ground holding his head: "Mom, my sons are unfilial and incompetent. We have food and drink at home, so I can't let you sell jewelry."
So that's it. To be honest, Li Yunlan didn't expect Qiu Degui to say this.
"Okay, my family is broke and I don't want to spend any more? I'm old and can't wear these. It's cheaper to sell them for some money and keep them around."
"But mother, those are your dowry and those given to you by your father. This is my grandma's last thought for you."
Li Yunlan patted Qiu Degui on the back: "Why did your grandma give your mother a dowry? It's not just for her. Why did your father give her jewelry? It's also for me. Mom knows that you are filial. There is no one in your grandma's family." I'm gone, and so is your father. You want me to keep you in my thoughts, but my mother still has you, and her grandsons like Chengcai Mingyue." After saying this, she felt a little guilty, as there was a sense of moral kidnapping in it.
Qiu Degui looked at his mother blankly, tears bursting out instantly: "Mom, since this is the case, we can't let you sell jewelry. It's not like the family has no food. Soon the banker will collect it. After taxes, the rest will be If you buy it, you will have money.”
After hearing this, Li Yunlan angrily said: "We've all sold it. We've all pricked our mouths. We don't have to eat. We can't sell the grain. Not a single grain is allowed to be sold. The grain is cheap when it's sold. You'll know how old it is when you buy it." People always speak louder than their heads."
"But mother."
"Stop it, I've already decided. Your sister is also pregnant. When she gives birth, we will have to give birth to her. Everything costs money. Let's go and look at other jewelry shops and pawn shops."
Li Yunlan wiped his tears and said warmly: "How old are you and you still cry?"
Qiu Degui shrugged his nose and smiled sheepishly, as if he was back when he was a child.
