Chapter 64 Looking for a cousin

As the guy said, he took the pannier from Zhao Zhitong's hand: "Come on, let me show you, um, beginner, I'm still a little doll, it's very good to make it like this, very talented."

After being praised by the other party, Zhao Zhitong grinned at him, revealing two small canine teeth, coupled with small dimples, he was so cute.

"Big brother, I'm very good. I picked all these from the mountains and made them myself."

The two guys couldn't help laughing. For such a cute and well-behaved little doll, no one could help smiling at her.

"Then let me see how much it's worth."

The buddy said, taking out the herbs in the back basket one by one, weighed them, and sang loudly: "Two pieces of kudzu root, one cent of bupleurum, one cent of red..."

Zhao Zhitong was standing beside him, staring very seriously with round eyes.

Just after the buddy sang all the medicinal materials, Zhao Zhitong said in a milky voice: "Big brother, it's twelve coins in total, isn't it?"

The bookkeeping clerk was stunned, and looked at Zhao Zhitong unexpectedly: "Hey, your little girl, you can do it!"

"Exactly twelve characters."

After finishing speaking, he counted out twelve coins and handed them to the little girl.

"Thank you, big brother." Zhao Zhitong happily took the copper coin and put it in his small pocket.

Sun Youwei was also surprised: "Little Tongtong, you can already settle accounts."

The key is that the calculation is so fast, there is no abacus at all, look at that guy, he still has to do a few calculations to figure it out.

Zhao Zhitong raised his face proudly, and said in a childish voice, "I know how to settle accounts."

The guy put the medicinal materials in, and said quite unexpectedly: "Your niece's family is a scholar?"

Hearing this, Zhao Dong hurriedly waved his hands: "No, we are not scholars, it's just that my daughter has learned a few words from my grandfather."

After speaking, thank you, they walked out of the pharmacy.

It was the first time he made money by himself, and Zhao Zhitong was so happy that he kept clutching his little pocket like a baby.

Zhao Dong was worried that she would lose the money, so he coaxed her to come over: "Tongtong, you are still young, if you put the money on you, you will lose it. Let it go to Daddy, and Daddy will save it for you, okay?"

Sun Mei also coaxed: "Tongtong is good, let daddy save it for you, and when you want to buy something, daddy will give it to you."

Will Zhao Zhitong be fooled?

The answer is of course no. In the previous life, during the holidays, the lucky money given by the elders in the family was taken away by the parents with such an excuse. They thought she didn't remember things, but in fact, she remembered them all.

Now, she earned the money herself, so she is not willing to hand it over.

So, he pouted and said: "No, Tongtong is already six years old, he is an older child, and he can keep the money by himself."

Sun Mei: "...Why do you grow a year older every day? Why are you six years old when you haven't even turned five?"

Zhao Zhitong gagged his mouth and covered his little pocket: "No, I'm only six years old, I'm an older child."

Looking at the little girl's flushed lower cheeks, clutching her pockets like she was protecting her son, Zhao Dong didn't ask for any more, and let her keep it for only twelve cents.

Zhao Zhitong was happy now, and was so excited that he was going around in circles.

Then, he didn't want to take the scooter any more, so he directly took Zhao Dong's hand and hopped towards South Street.

The street they are currently on is North Street, where pharmacies and drug dealers are basically located, and South Street is mostly entertainment venues such as piano houses, taverns, tea rooms, and Goulan cottages.

Sun Mei and Sun Youwei pushed the empty cart, and the group left. Just when they left Miao Chun Tang, they bumped into a person head-on.

This person has a round figure, wearing a dark gray wall coat with a dark green striped belt tied around his waist. When looking at them, a pair of small squinted eyes seemed to shone shrewdly.

"Hey, second uncle, are you coming to the city?"

Zhao Dong was stunned for a few moments before he found out who this person was from his memory.

Niu Baishun, the husband of Wang's youngest daughter, is a wealthy family in the county, and his family is in the medicinal materials business.

The Xiangfutang next to it is his family's pharmacy, and like Miaochuntang, it is one of the largest pharmacies on North Street.

As a businessman, Niu Baishun is still very shrewd. Although he is full of disdain for Zhao Dong and his mud-legged countrymen, he will not show it.

Zhao Dong also greeted with a half-smile: "Hehe, yes, let's do some shopping."

Niu Baishun's squinted eyes glanced at their cart, and he knew that they were here to sell herbal medicine, so he pointed to Sun Youwei and said, "Oh, this is your uncle, right? Here to sell herbal medicine? Haha, second uncle, you are too, why are you still ignoring me, just tell me, I let my work in the shop go directly to your uncle's house to collect it, and I will give you a favor For the price, save trouble."

Sun Youwei didn't think he would give a good price. How many times he had sold medicinal materials, he had already figured out the market on this street.

He also thought that Niu Baisun was the son-in-law of his brother-in-law's family, and he sold herbal medicines in Xiangfulou a few times.

It is common to lower the price and lower the scale. So, after that, he never went to Xiangfu Building to sell medicinal materials again.

Hearing what he said about this matter, I just felt that he was very hypocritical, so he laughed: "Then how dare I take advantage of you."

Zhao Dong also smiled awkwardly.

At this time, a woman came out from the pharmacy by the roadside, and walked towards Niu Baishun: "Sir, who are you talking to?"

After asking, he saw Zhao Dong and Sun Mei who were standing there, a trace of contempt and disgust appeared on their faces, dragged Niu Baisun, and walked to the pharmacy like a **** of plague, and said loudly on purpose: " Don't greet people indiscriminately on the street, you will be stalked by poor ghosts, and Qiufeng won't know if you are beaten!"

Sun Mei's face turned blue: "Bah! Who are these people? It's not certain who will hit whose family's autumn wind!"

Zhao Zhitong also imitated her mother, grinning in the direction of Xiangfulou: "Tui, bad guys, they are all bad guys!"

Sun Mei rolled her eyes at Xiangfulou and said, "Let's leave quickly, ignore them, it's all about being bitten by a dog."

So, a group of people quickened their pace and headed towards South Street.

South Street is completely different from North Street.

It is much more lively than the North Street, with the endless cries of vendors, the sound of qin and zither in Fengyue, the noise of cockfighting in casinos, the applause of street performers, and the singing of Goulan Washe. It is so lively. .

Zhao Dong also came to the county town to sell tofu last time, but he hurried back after selling tofu and bought some things.

Zhao Zhitong's eyes were dazzled, full of novelties everywhere, and he was very excited: "It's so lively here, mother, I want to watch the acrobats!"

Zhao Zhitong pointed to the person who was surrounded by a group of people in front, breathing fire, walking a tightrope, and yelled at the person with a big stone in his chest.

Zhao Dong persuaded: "Tong Tong, good boy, we'll see when we get back, and go to Sister Yaya first, okay?"

Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu, who were quietly walking aside, lost their desire to watch the excitement when they heard this, and suddenly looked up at Zhao Dong: "Uncle?"
