Chapter 127 Black Heart

Hearing this, Er Ya echoed the situation: "Father and mother, today we ran up the mountain with the cat, and we happened to encounter herbs again, so we dug them up for a while. Next time we encounter this kind of situation, let's go home and talk to our parents first. , Let parents dig along."

Xiao Li saw that his sister and younger sister were talking, and nodded his head quickly, "Yeah, Xiao Li is the same."

"I have to do what I say, and next time my mother will be a thug." Liu Zhihua said fiercely on purpose.

It's a pity that the three children are not afraid. They stare at the braised pork with a small bowl, looking like a little greedy cat.

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled helplessly, and hurriedly served them braised pork one by one, "Okay, let's eat."

"Great!"

"Hmm, it smells so good..."

Soft cornmeal paste cake, served with a piece of fragrant and soft braised pork, several children couldn't stop eating, and their cheeks were bulging.

Liu Zhihua scooped egg flower soup for them, shook her head and smiled, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you, first drink egg soup to soothe your stomach."

"Father and mother, eat quickly too." Er Ya said while eating.

Liu Zhihua wiped the sticky oil on Jiaojiao's chin, and said: "There is still half of the pot in the pot, and we all have a share. You eat first when you are hungry, and parents eat slowly."

Wang Zhuangzhi ate a piece of meat between his fingers. Thinking of drinking today, he got up with a bowl to pour the wine. While pouring, he said, "His mother, you can also have some. Today's wine is not strong, it is very sweet."

Liu Zhihua smelled the smell of wine in the room, looked at the braised pork on the table, and thought it would be nice to have a sip, but since the children were all there, she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

Girls drink less, so the children should see that, maybe Erya Jiaojiao will also learn to drink, so forget it.

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't know what the lady was thinking, so he made a bowl of wine, took a sip happily, and then said with a smile: "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, our life has returned to normal, today we have dug a lot of herbs, tomorrow we will go to town Ask for a price."

Liu Zhihua frowned, "Still going to the town? Didn't you say that the pharmacies in the town are cheating people, why don't we go to other places to ask."

Wang Zhuangzhi felt a little helpless when he recalled what happened back then, and sighed: "That's right, we don't understand the market of herbal medicines. Those people in the medicine shop are really unscrupulous, and the five hundred taels of Ganoderma lucidum is only given to a few dozen taels. If we can find a sincere and fair The pharmacy will be fine."

Jiaojiao heard what her parents said, and thought of Brother Ji, he would definitely not lie to her parents, but Master is leaving, and Brother Ji and the others must be leaving too.

Forget it, if you want to grow herbs in the future, you can't just rely on Brother Ji.

Brother Ji only needs precious herbs such as ganoderma lucidum ginseng and spirit grass. They still need to sell ordinary herbs to pharmacies. As parents said, the most urgent thing is to find a reliable pharmacy.

"There is no profiteering, no business, it's hard to find this pharmacy, take advantage of these few days to go to the town to inquire more, if you really can't go far away, let's save more and sell it if the place is farther away." Liu Zhihua said.

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, "It can only be like this. Fortunately, the herbs dug up today can be stored. I will sort them out and pave the yard to let the air dry, so that they can be stored for a longer period of time."

"Okay, let's discuss after eating, the meat won't taste good when it's cold..."

…

The next morning,

The members of the Wang family came to the town again, and Miao Miao also followed.

Liu Zhihua hugged Guaibao and pretended to be a customer to go to the pharmacy to inquire about the price.

Polygonum multiflorum is 100 Wen for one tael, while Astragalus is divided into dry and wet, one or two hundred Wen for dry, and 150 Wen for wet.

Liu Zhihua thought about it, and asked Tian Qigen how much it was.

As a result, the clerk said that one or two would only cost 60 Wen.

The last time she came to sell Tian Qi with the head of the family, it was clear that the purchase price was 100 Wen per catty, and they sold it for 600 Wen per catty, which directly doubled several times.

Liu Zhihua scolded them for being too unscrupulous in her heart, and left with Jiaojiao in her arms.

This way,

Wang Zhuangzhi and Erya Xiaoli have already arrived at the destination, and sent the fresh red fish to the household that booked yesterday, just in case they put more than ten fish in the wooden barrel today, the housekeeper will see such a fresh big fish , Dang even happily paid.

Yesterday, Erya quoted 30 Wen a catty, nearly five or six times more expensive than ordinary grass carp. The two fish totaled more than 6 Jin. In addition to the deposit of 50 Wen yesterday, the housekeeper paid another 130 Wen.

After receiving the money, Erya went back to find her mother with her father happily, thinking of telling her and her sister the good news.

She wants to use the first money she earns to buy headbands for herself and her younger sister, and for Xiao Li to buy the bamboo dragonfly that he longs for. The main reason is that she doesn’t make much money for the first time, and she will buy jewelry for her mother and good wine for her father when she makes a lot of money in the future. clothes.

Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and waited on the side of the road, watched her carriage come back, walked up angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "I don't know if you don't ask, but I was shocked when I asked, these medicine shops are really big profiteers, they take back and sell The price difference can be several times greater, for the same price we sell it for a catty, they sell it for a tael, this is too deceitful."

"People in the town don't know much about herbal medicine. Those who can really afford to come to the pharmacy are those who have some money. Most of them don't care about the price when they are in a hurry. It is estimated that the owner of the pharmacy has caught this point and can do business so recklessly." Wang Zhuangzhi sighed.

The poor dare not enter the pharmacy at all. They always go to the barefoot doctors and witches in the village to have a look. The barefoot old doctors in the village collect herbs by themselves, so the price of herbal medicine is much cheaper than that of the pharmacy.

In the past, their family also survived like this, and it is very sad to think about it carefully.

"Our herbal medicine will not be sold in the town in the future, I will go to other places to look for it later." Wang Zhuangzhi said.

Liu Zhihua nodded, and said: "Today's business is over."

Suddenly, she thought of the fruit tree that Guaibao had mentioned.

smiled and said to the head of the family, "I forgot, children love to eat fruit, let's go buy some seedlings and plant them in the backyard."

Wang Zhuangzhi was taken aback, "Isn't there a fruit tree in the backyard? I still want to buy it."

"Oh, I forgot about it, and I don't know what kind of fruit is good or not." Liu Zhihua said with a frown.

Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If you want to plant, it doesn't matter if the yard is big enough to grow two."

"Mom, can we buy peach trees, I want to eat peaches." Erya whispered.

Xiao Li heard it, and immediately shouted: "Mom, I want to eat pears."

Jiaojiao was also very happy, and said, "Why don't we plant them all?"

That way you can eat different fruits every day.

Liu Zhihua chuckled, "Since there is a fruit tree at home, let's buy peaches and pears for other fruit seedlings."

After setting down the fruit tree, Er Ya happily took out the money for selling fish from her bosom, and then said with a smile: "If in the past one basket could only be exchanged for two copper coins, today two red fishes sold for more than one hundred cash. "

"Hey, two fish can be sold for a lot of money." Liu Zhihua looked at the money in Erya's hand in surprise, never thinking that the two of them, the two of them, can really make money by tossing the pond.

Jiaojiao plucked her ears in disbelief, looked at her sister and asked tentatively: "Sister, how much did you sell for?"
