Xing Rui reached out to pick up her ginseng, but the shopkeeper was so hasty that he turned half of his body behind him.
"Okay, okay, two thousand taels is two thousand taels."
Hearing this, Xing Rui put down her hands and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"But I don't have that much in my hand. You have to let me go to the bank to get it."
"Of course, I'll go with the shopkeeper."
Xing Rui nodded and stretched out his hand and said,
"But the things have to be put in my hands, and we pay and deliver them."
The shopkeeper was stunned. This woman looked young, but she was still very thoughtful.
This is someone else’s thing. If I didn’t pay for it, it’s okay for them to take it back.
"good good good good."
The shopkeeper reluctantly put the ginseng into Xing Rui's hand again, but said with great worry,
"But don't touch it. If it gets damaged, it won't be worth the same price."
"Okay, I know."
Of course Xing Rui was afraid that if the ginseng was in the hands of the shopkeeper and it was replaced with something else, he would really have a hard time defending it.
The two people walked out of the drug store together. The boy in the store looked at the two people in surprise and hurriedly asked his shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, are you going out?"
"Take a good look at the shop."
As he spoke and stepped across the tall threshold, the shopkeeper pulled up the hem of his gown and walked out quickly.
Liang Sheng, who was waiting outside, was also shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't say anything yet.
Xing Rui made a silent gesture towards him, asking him to wait here quietly.
Xing Rui didn't understand why the medicine shop owner wanted to go to the bank. Why couldn't such a big shop get out two thousand taels of silver notes?
The town is so big, and after a short walk we reached the only bank in the town.
The shopkeeper asked Xing Rui to wait outside, and he picked up his clothes again and hurried into the bank.
About a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper walked out of the bank carrying clothes again. At this time, he had two more banknotes in his hand.
"Here, two thousand taels."
Xing Rui took it and looked at the writing on it. After confirming that it was two thousand taels, he handed the cloth bag in his arms to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was so focused on the ginseng that he didn't notice how Xing Rui could understand the handwriting on the banknote.
"Then I'll go back first. You, the shopkeeper, are rich."
"Okay, okay..."
After getting the ginseng, the shopkeeper couldn't wait to open it and confirm it. He hurriedly put it in his arms and nodded to Xing Rui.
The two of them walked towards their medicine shop at the same time.
"If you have any good things in the future, just send them over. The price I will give you must be the highest in the town."
"Of course, the shopkeeper's house is so bright and spacious. Next time if there is anything good, I must bring it to the shopkeeper first."
While talking, the two of them returned to the pharmacy, and Xing Rui watched the shopkeeper enter the pharmacy.
Only then did he look back at the man who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Stop, don't ask, don't tell me, just go to the butcher shop where they sell meat for stew."
Before Liang Sheng could speak, Xing Rui blocked him directly.
Liang Sheng is also stubborn. If you don't let me ask, then he won't ask.
Now that I have money, I feel relieved. I bought some pork and pork ribs.
When she saw Hu Ling'er carrying the piece of pork ribs, Xing Rui knew that she was also hungry.
After buying the pork, Xing Rui didn't forget about business. She bought lime powder and some small jars used at home to hold condiments.
He also weighed a large jar of soybean oil from the grain and oil store.
Liang Sheng is a little porter, and he will carry whatever Xing Rui buys behind him.
When he came here, he ate lard, which really made Xing Rui's head full of food.
Most of the people here grow corn, and some grow rice and soybeans.
So Xing Rui guessed that rapeseed oil may not be available here, but soybean oil must be available.
Of course, soybean oil can only be afforded by rich families here, and few ordinary people can buy it.
I usually buy some fat pork and boil some lard to save on eating it for a year. Fatty pork not only can be boiled with oil, but also has oil residue.
Marinate it with salt and put it in a jar. When you are hungry, you can take out some vegetables and make steamed buns.
This is also the reason why people at this time like to grab fat meat when buying meat. Fat meat is also more expensive than lean meat.
After all, people don't have much to eat at this time, so the pigs naturally live in a fool's errand.
How many pigs are fat? One pig can't produce much fat.
Unlike modern people who eat too much good food and are greedy, naturally no one likes fat meat.
Xing Rui also doesn’t like to eat fatty meat, preferring lean meat, so what I bought today are all lean meat, which is cheap and satisfies cravings. How great!
The last few large bags of pastries and candies were put in the car, and Xing Ruicai said to Liang Sheng,
"Okay, get in the car and go home."
Looking at the large cart of things, Xing Rui suddenly felt filled with satisfaction and happiness.
She likes this feeling, probably because the days she spent with her grandma when she was young were too deserted, too lonely, and the home was too simple.
Xing Rui likes to be surrounded by many things, which will make her feel inexplicably at ease and feel the warmth of home.
After the oxcart left the town, Xing Rui asked Liang Sheng, who had been silent,
"This car looks half-new. How much did it cost? It seems like the money I gave you is enough."
Liang Sheng touched a handful in his arms and handed the remaining small piece of broken silver to Xing Rui.
"Five hundred cents, I spent a hundred cents on nailing the cow's paws, and the rest is here."
Xing Rui looked at the small piece of silver in his hand and pushed it back.
"You can keep it, a grown man needs to have some money on him."
Xing Rui's move shocked Liang Sheng, who was driving with his back to him, and looked back at Xing Rui in disbelief.
"Look at what I'm doing. Just take it if I ask you to take it. Where are the old men whining?"
"If it's good, the taste will change in your mouth."
Liang Sheng was not polite, took it and kicked it in his arms.
Xing Rui also sat in front of the car and looked at the greenery on both sides of the road back. The banker was in good condition, and her mood became better and better.
"I didn't expect Sichuan clams to be so valuable. I think our garden is so big. Next year, in addition to growing some side dishes, the rest will be planted with Sichuan clams. How about it?"
"It's very good. I went to see it yesterday and the corn seedlings you planted are all alive.
The leaves of the Sichuan clams started to die, so I picked one up and took a look, and the Sichuan clams inside were not rotten."
"It seems you don't believe what I said,"
Xing Rui didn't expect him to be so attentive and not angry at all.
"Just curious,"
As she walked, Xing Rui saw an old woman and a man walking on the road. She looked familiar at the back and paid more attention to them.
When she arrived, Xing Rui couldn't help but be surprised to see that it was the village's wife Li Zheng who was walking home with her silly son, carrying heavy things.
