Before starting the autumn harvest, the first batch of wolfberries picked by Lin Zhu and Aunt Li were finally dried. Lin Zhu originally wanted Dr. Zhang to see if they were ready for sale, but who knew that he hadn't come back yet, and there were only
There was a gatekeeper, not even the housekeeper, so she had to collect the dried wolfberries based on her previous experience and prepare to sell them at Fushengtang in the county town. This was what Dr. Zhang had said when he sent the housekeeper here before.
Lin Zhu asked Aunt Li that Linjiazhuang belongs to Baihe Town, and Baihe Town belongs to Song County. Song County is thirty miles away from Linjiazhuang. If Lin Zhu wants to go to the county, he has to start before dawn. If he takes an ox cart back and forth,
It also takes four hours, so I have to go back quickly. After discussing with Aunt Li, I decided to go there as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the autumn harvest comes, people will be busy enough just working, and there will be no time to send them to the county.
, not to mention that cattle are also important laborers. So they asked Lin Dazhu to send them to the county seat.
Originally, Lin Dazhu was a little reluctant to go to the county town so far away, but when Lin Zhu paid thirty yuan for the fare, he readily agreed. In order not to reveal the purpose of going to the county town, she and Aunt Li wrapped the wolfberry tightly.
Even when Lin Dazhu asked out of curiosity, Aunt Li found excuses to put her off. Even in Aunt Li's family, only the village chief knew why they went out, and other family members thought Aunt Li was going to a relative's house.
Along the way, Lin Zhu looked at the surrounding environment. To her, although everything here was backward, it was incomparable to the reinforced concrete world before. The air without the smell of gas and oil was very fresh and not covered by smog.
The sky is pure and flawless.
The closer you get to the county seat, the more people there are. There are farmers walking with baskets on their backs, hawkers carrying burdens, and people pushing chicken carts. To enter the county seat, you have to pay an entrance fee of two cents per person. Li
The aunt paid for it first. Lin Zhu originally wanted to pay, but Aunt Li didn't let her go. She told her afterwards that she was still too young and that if people knew she had money, she would be targeted by thieves. The county town is no better than the town.
There are always some people with unclean hands and feet.
After making an appointment with Lin Dazhu about the time to return and the meeting place, Aunt Li took Lin Zhu and walked towards the city. The street was very lively with people coming and going. The shops on the street were next to each other. The two of them were walking on the street.
After wandering around for a while, I asked someone about the location of Fusheng Hall, and then headed towards Fusheng Hall.
When they arrived at the place, Lin Zhu found that although the facade of Fushengtang was not big, when he walked inside, he found that there was not only a medicine shop, but also a doctor who was sitting in the hall diagnosing the pulse. Both parts were carried out in an orderly manner. The clerks in the medicine shop were all busy.
On the job, everything is in order.
A clerk who was about fifteen or sixteen years old saw Lin Zhu and the other two coming in and came forward to say hello, "Are you two seeing a doctor or taking medicine?" Aunt Li glanced at Lin Zhu and said to the young man, "We don't see a doctor.
I won’t take medicine either, there are some wild fruits and it’s up to you whether you can harvest them or not.”
When the waiter heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and said to himself: "This is not a vegetable market. How can we collect wild fruits?" He then said in a disdainful tone, "This is a medicine shop. We only accept medicinal materials, not other random things."
After hearing what the young man said, Aunt Li was a little timid. After all, it was her first time to sell things in a drug store, and she didn't know whether the wolfberries she brought could be used as medicinal materials. As a result, Aunt Li looked a little timid.
When the boy saw her like this, he was sure that they were outsiders from the country who didn't understand anything, and looked down upon them. "You don't want to see a doctor or get medicine, so don't block others, let's go." He started to chase them away.
Lin Zhu also knew that no matter what age there are always some snobbish guys, and he didn't care about the younger boy's words. Seeing that Aunt Li was a little bit flinched, she stepped forward and asked the young boy to spread her hands, and she grabbed a few pills in her hand.
The dried wolfberry, "This is not a mess, we are here to show you whether you can collect these wolfberries."
The wolfberry fruit that Lin Zhu took out was pure in color. After drying, the dried fruit no longer looked as plump and moist as before. Lin Zhu also specially selected the dried wolfberry fruit to make the fruit bright red, oily, fat and sweet, about one or two
There are about four hundred good-quality ones packed together, and there are about one, two, six hundred, etc. These dried fruits are smaller, and the ones shown to the clerk are the best ones.
In fact, after entering the county town, Lin Zhu saw a dried fruit shop. If the Fushengtang introduced by Dr. Zhang did not accept it, she was going to go there and have a look. When she came to Fushengtang, she should show them wolfberry.
The boy saw the wolfberry in Lin Zhu's hand. It was in very good quality. Although wolfberry is rarely used as medicine, it is also an indispensable medicine in the drug store. Many wealthy families will buy high-grade wolfberry from them.
As a tonic for daily use, the amount of wolfberry they use here is still quite large. However, because it is often wild, it is difficult to find it and it is not easy to preserve it after picking. It must be dried in the shade first and then exposed to the sun. Ordinary people do not know this.
At this time, the young man did not dare to make the decision without authorization, and hurriedly found the shopkeeper. A middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the hall and walked to Lin Zhu and Aunt Li. "You two have wolfberry seeds in your hands."
Do you want to sell it to a small shop?" Seeing her and the two of them nodding, they waved their right hands in a gesture of invitation, "Please speak inside."
Entering the inner hall, the middle-aged man first asked Lin Zhu and Aunt Li to sit down, and then asked them to serve a cup of tea. "I wonder if I can take a look at the wolfberries in your hands first." Lin Zhu owns such a medicine shop.
Not afraid of anything wrong, she took out the wolfberries from the package, took out some of the two different types of wolfberries, and handed them to the middle-aged man, "My name is Lin Zhu, I don't know what to call you?" She saw the middle-aged man saying to her.
He took out two kinds of wolfberry with a satisfied look on his face, and explained the differences between the two kinds of wolfberry.
"I am the shopkeeper of this Fushengtang, my surname is Wang, you can just call me shopkeeper Wang." Shopkeeper Wang put down the wolfberry in his hand with satisfaction and smiled at Lin Zhu and the other two, "Your wolfberry looks like
It’s in good condition, I can keep it, but I don’t know if you still have it?”
"We have divided into two types of products, do the prices also differ?" Lin Zhu was afraid that his store would deceive customers, so he asked directly, "Of course, one of the wolfberry you brought has reached grade A.
The other one reaches Grade B. Our Fushengtang is the most honest. Grade A weighs eighty cents per catty, and Grade B weighs fifty cents per catty." Shopkeeper Wang's words made Lin Zhu feel a big stone fall. Fortunately, he could sell well.
She could explain the price to Aunt Li's family, and instead of working in vain, she turned to look at Aunt Li, whose face was also full of surprise.
Lin Zhu took out all the wolfberries from the package between the two of them. Shopkeeper Wang inspected them carefully and had them weighed.
"I still have some at home, which are being dried. It may take some time to take them out. Do you want more here, shopkeeper Wang?" Lin Zhu thought about the many wolfberries at home. It would be great if they could all be sold here.
"If they all look like the ones you brought today, I can make the decision to accept them all." Shopkeeper Wang also gave Lin Zhu a positive reply. After a while, the clerk came in and reported the quantity of wolfberry, which was ten kilograms of grade A.
,B has fifteen kilograms.
