"Can I take a closer look?"
"Okay." Without any hesitation, Niu Caohua handed over the cloth bag in her hand.
The person who opened the medicine shop shouldn't just take away the medicinal materials from the customers casually, otherwise he wouldn't be able to open the medicine shop.
"These four ginseng roots are all about forty years old." Doctor Xu looked at them for a while and then handed the cloth bag back.
Forty years is about the same as Cow Caohua expected. Except for the largest one, these four are about the same size.
Niu Xiaodi didn't understand the concept of forty-year-old ginseng, but Niu Dadu knew it, and he couldn't help but gasp. Sitting there, my hands and feet were shaking.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Our Jirentang is willing to buy these four ginseng roots. If the price is..."
After some bargaining, all four 40-year-old ginseng were sold to Jirentang.
The price is one hundred and twenty taels per stick.
The four pieces added together make a total of four hundred and eighty taels.
Seeing Dr. Xu smiling happily after receiving the ginseng, Niu Caohua felt that she was not experienced enough and was at a loss!
There should be an additional ten taels for each stick!
Why don't you just waste more saliva?
I don’t know if it’s appropriate to talk about it now, but it doesn’t seem to be appropriate anymore. The ginseng has been put away by them, and the money has also been delivered.
Four silver notes worth one hundred taels, one worth fifty taels, plus three ingots worth ten taels of silver ingots.
This was Niu Caohua’s first time seeing silver notes and silver ingots. She couldn’t put it down and she was bursting with laughter.
Four hundred and eighty taels, a lot of money.
Taking Niu Dadu and Niu Xiaodi, who were stunned by so much money, the three people left Jirentang with smiles on their faces.
The cold winter is getting closer and closer. When it snows heavily and the roads are blocked, it will be impossible to go to the market again. This time the ginseng has received so much money, Niu Caohua decided to buy more things to prepare so that the family can have a good year.
There were cotton clothes, quilts and shoes for winter, as well as food and other things. The two baskets carried by the cow belly were almost overflowing, and there was still more to come.
"Have you heard? Many northern nobles have come to our city recently, and they seem to want to live here permanently~" Just as they were passing by a grocery store, they heard two aunts in the store quietly chatting and gossiping. Pressed very low.
"I've heard about it. The official road has been crowded with people these days. When I came to buy groceries in the morning, I saw those carriages and horses. It was really spectacular. I don't know which noble family they are."
It turns out that the convoy we encountered this morning were from nobles. No wonder, with such a big posture, Niu Caohua thought to herself.
Wanting to hear more gossip, I took my family into this grocery store.
The grocery store sells a variety of items, including all kinds of small items.
Cow Grass Flower listened to the gossip while looking for what she needed.
The two aunts did not stop talking when someone came in. Instead, they lowered their voices, but this did not stop Niu Caohua's hearing.
"Sister Liu, the three people who came in bought so many things. They don't look like rich people."
"It will be the New Year's Eve soon. How can I not buy more things when I go back? I met several people like this today, buying big and small bags."
"That's right. If you don't buy more things if you live outside the city, you won't be able to survive this year."
Well, the three of them have become the protagonists of gossip.
"Old sister, please stop talking and be careful not to let others hear. You are telling me about this noble family. I think their carriage must be from a prominent family."
"I'm a woman, so how can I know so much? But from what my family said, things are going to be uneasy in this city soon."
"It's not peaceful? Will things in the north still affect us?"
"No. There have been constant disasters in the north this year. Now, there is another war. People in the city are dying and they can't escape. I heard that the ground is dyed red. What a sin."
"So all the people coming in these days are fleeing from the north?"
"No. There will be a large number of people fleeing from the north coming in a while. They are all civilians. When the city is full, they will definitely be divided into various villages."
"Oh, this is not a good thing. Those who are fleeing don't know what kind of diseases they will carry with them. I have to prepare the New Year things quickly and won't go out this winter!"
"No, look at me. I've been buying rice and noodles to take home every day these days."
"Good sister, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's not too late now. I have to leave first. My boy wants to eat Qingfengzhai's snacks. I'm going to buy him some. Let's not talk about it for now."
"Okay, I'm leaving too. Goodbye."
While Niu Caohua was picking out pots and pans, the two aunts also finished their gossip, got up and left in a hurry.
Leave the cowgrass flowers thoughtful.
She had heard a little bit about the war in the north, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
Those convoys in the morning, packed with large and small bags, were the families of nobles who had fled. They were well-informed and must have been the first people to evacuate from the city.
The small tribes behind them will definitely follow closely, and finally the common people.
A large number of northern refugees fled to them. The rich and powerful nobles would definitely settle in the city. If those small tribes had strength, they would also take root in the city, while those ordinary people who had nothing would just be scattered to various places. Village.
The arrival of these people is not a good thing.
Originally, their place was not a big place, nor was it rich. With so many people added soon, management would become more difficult. The most important thing was that prices would rise.
I don’t know how local officials will handle it.
But it doesn't matter, just live your own life as an ordinary citizen.
"Dad, let's go buy a mule. There are too many things."
Now the two baskets are full, but Niucaohua still wants to buy a lot of things, so she can only buy livestock.
Niu Dadu still had no objection to his daughter's question. He nodded, and the three of them took their things to the place where the livestock was bought and sold.
This kind of business is done all over the street here, and all kinds of animals are bought and sold, including cattle, horses, mules, donkeys and other major livestock, as well as animals for viewing, birds, reptiles, etc., etc.
The streets were clean, and from time to time young men from rich families in brightly-dressed clothes walked in and out, followed by a series of maids and servants.
Niu Caohua found a relatively large shop and spent eight taels of silver to buy a mule that was more than a year old, and another two and a half taels of silver to buy an ordinary bicycle frame.
The mules were trained to be very docile and pulled the cart smoothly on the road.
The happiest person who bought this mule and frame was actually Niu Dadu. He was smiling from ear to ear as he sat on the frame and drove the mule. He was not at all timid like before.
Yes, this is a car. The first time you get a car as a modern person, it is the same. You probably drive it in your dreams.
