Wan'er smiled and said: "I picked it near my home."
"Girl, please give me a price." The shopkeeper couldn't put it down and said.
Make a price? She didn't know what price to give, so she said, "The shopkeeper will give it to you."
"Then..." The shopkeeper hesitated, stretched out a finger and said, "How about one hundred taels?"
Gardenia nodded and said, "Then one hundred taels."
"You have to think carefully. Don't say that my old man bullied you when you leave the drug store." The shopkeeper said hopefully, fearing that Gardenia would regret it after leaving the store and come back to the store to cause trouble for him.
Shaking his head, he moved the basket and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, just one hundred taels."
"Okay, okay, okay, apprentice, go in and get the money." The shopkeeper was happy. He bought something worth 500 taels for one hundred taels of silver. Can he be unhappy?
The young man turned around and went into the back room to get the money. A tall man in military uniform came in through the door.
Seeing the shopkeeper holding something with a happy face and looking at it carefully, he said loudly: "Shopkeeper Qian, why are you so happy?"
Shopkeeper Qian put down the Polygonum multiflorum and hurriedly welcomed him out: "General Feng, you are here."
"You're welcome, I'll get some medicine for my mother." Feng Tianlai asked the accompanying soldiers to stop outside the shop and said.
"I have already prepared it for you. Please sit down for a moment and I will get it for you immediately." Ask him to sit on the stool.
Passing behind Gardenia, Feng Tianlai smelled a familiar scent, but he couldn't remember where he smelled it. He looked at Gardenia standing in front of the counter and asked shopkeeper Qian: "What does she do?"
"Pharmaceutical seller."
"What kind of medicine? Let me see." He took the Polygonum multiflorum in the basket and asked, "Isn't this Polygonum multiflorum? Hmm -, it doesn't seem like Polygonum multiflorum."
"The general doesn't know, this is wild Polygonum multiflorum, much rarer than ordinary ones." Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile.
"That's not very expensive. How much do you give them?"
Shopkeeper Qian said awkwardly: "One hundred taels."
"One hundred taels? This thing can be sold for hundreds of taels, but you only give me one hundred taels." Feng Tianlai felt a little sorry for Gardenia. He turned to her side and said, "Girl, one hundred taels, you have suffered a big loss."
.”
He smiled lightly, but was blocked by the gauze canopy, and said, "It's okay, I don't mind."
Shopkeeper Qian looked embarrassed, but by chance the younger brother took the silver and handed it to Gardenia and said, "Girl, here it is for you."
After thanking him and bowing slightly to him, he turned sideways and left. The hem of his skirt touched the threshold and disappeared after turning around. Li Zemin shook his head and said, "What a weirdo." After Gardenia left, she thought he was
The familiar smell was also taken away.
The setting sun hid behind the sunset, only peeking out half of its head, looking at the world that was about to turn into darkness with nostalgia.
At dusk, Gardenia left Yuanji Cloth Shop. The business at this cloth shop was as good as before, and Brother Hai was busy greeting the customers.
When he saw business coming in, he would greet him with a trademark smile on his face and say: "Girl, come in and take a look."
Gardenia stepped into the threshold and asked: "Excuse me, what kind of fabric is suitable for making clothes for the elderly?"
Brother Hai asked: "Are you the master or the madam?"
Gardenia said: "It's the master."
Brother Hai smiled and said, "Wait a moment."
Watching him go to the back of the cabinet, he took out the fabric on top, spread it out in front of Gardenia and said, "Girl, what do you think of this piece of material? There are a lot of people buying this kind of fabric to make clothes for the elderly."
Gardenia touched it with her hands and found that the texture was pretty good, much better than the one her master wore. She said to Brother Hai, "Okay, if I'm sorry to bother you, I want this kind of material."
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right now." He took a ruler, measured it, tore it open, folded it, and wrapped it up. With a series of familiar actions, Brother Hai was able to stand alone. He was no longer the ghost he was two years ago.
I caught Brother Hai screaming with his injured leg in the cave.
After paying the money and going out, the streets on both sides were lit with lights. Fortunately, I told the master that I couldn't make it back tonight and had to stay in the city for the night, otherwise he would definitely be worried.
Looking at the wine gourd in the basket, I remembered my master's naughty look, smiled happily, and walked towards Liangji Winery.
The silver hook has been hung in the sky, exuding a faint soft light. The wine of Liangji Winery is famous far and wide, and you can smell the overflowing aroma of wine as soon as you step into it a hundred meters away.
Gardenia went into the shop, took out the wine gourd and said, "Brother, help me fill it up?" The master told her that as long as she handed the gourd to the younger brother, he would know what wine to fill it with.
As expected, the second brother took the wine gourd but saw no movement for a long time. He just looked at the woman in front of him who was dressed plainly and her face was covered by a veil. After a while, he said: "Girl, my shopkeeper has gone out to do some work and has to have dinner."
Come back and see if you've had dinner before you come back."
Gardenia asked in confusion: "Why? I was just drinking."
"Young lady, you don't know. This gourd is special. Every time, an old man comes to buy wine, and my shopkeeper personally receives it. Now that the shopkeeper is not here, how dare I do it for you." The second brother said a little embarrassed.
Gardenia responded: "Then I'll come back after a while."
"Okay, walk slowly."
I had been planning to get a drink since I left the wine shop. I looked up at the dark and shining sky, sighed, and started walking towards the inn.
At Yaoxiangju, I remember having tea with Feng Qing. Looking at the same plaque, I felt a little bit like I was revisiting my old place.
As soon as I stepped into the threshold, a second brother came to greet me: "Girl, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel." He responded calmly, as if his thoughts were still traveling far away.
