…dongdongdong…dongdongdong…
"An An, An An, get up."
Hearing the knock on the door, Tian An was so startled that he pulled back the quilt and sat up. When he looked out the window at the dawn, he suddenly felt unwell.
It's over. I was so tired yesterday that I woke up late, almost dawn. I need to buy a cow today and prepare food for Xiaokang in advance. The county town is far away, so I'm afraid it's too late now.
In her anxiety, Tian An forgot that her foot was injured. She stepped on the ground and the pain made her burst into tears.
"……ah……"
He lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.
When Danniu heard the noise in the room, he pushed the door open and rushed in. Seeing Tian An falling to the ground, he quickly stepped forward, picked her up and put her on the bed.
But once he sat on the bed, Tian An struggled to get up again. "It's over, it's over. I overslept today and it's almost too late! Brother Da Niu, why didn't you wake me up earlier? We haven't prepared anything yet."
Daniu pulled her back and sat her down before saying, "Don't worry, I'm ready. Just pack up and we can go."
After he finished speaking, he realized something, immediately let go of Tian An, and turned his back to her.
"Are you ready?" Tian An asked again uncertainly.
"Well! You can leave after you pack up." Da Niu said affirmatively
"Brother Danniu, you are so nice!" Tian An shouted happily.
"Hurry up." Da Niu felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly gave a warning and then walked away as if escaping.
When Tian An came out after packing up, Da Niu put the herbs and pheasants on the cart and asked her to sit on it.
This cart used to be an oxcart, but after the oxen were sold, it was converted into a cart. Today, I bought the oxen and loaded the cart onto it, so I can ride back home in the oxcart. Tian An can ride on it, but it's going to be very tiring for the person pushing the cart.
Seeing that Tian An didn't move for a long time, Da Niu directly carried her into the car and pushed her away.
Ugh! Why is Brother Daniel becoming more and more overbearing...
Tian An felt like she might be a bit of a burden. The last time she and Danniu went to town, it took them half an hour to walk. But this time, Danniu pushed her and all her belongings to the more distant county town by himself, and it only took him half an hour.
There wasn't much game today. After paying the two-cent entrance fee, Da Niu and Tian An went to sell herbs.
There were two drugstores in the county town, and they went to the larger one. It was quite large, but they were kicked out by the shop assistants before they even saw the owner.
There was no choice but to go to another family. If they were kicked out again, they would buy a cow first and then go back to town to sell herbs.
As the two arrived at the door of the pharmacy, they heard a girl's choked voice before they even entered.
"Dad! Don't let me go on blind dates anymore. They all appear humble and polite on the surface, but they laugh at me behind my back, saying I have pimples all over my face and look like a toad."
Ugh! Should she go in under these circumstances? Tian An was about to turn around and discuss this with Daniu when her foot accidentally bumped into the feather duster standing by the door.
…
All right! Now I have no choice but to go in.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, the person inside came out. It turned out to be an acquaintance!
"Eh? Boss, why are you here?"
The shopkeeper looked at me in confusion: "Who are you, girl?"
"Shopkeeper, you're such a forgetful person. I was selling herbs at your pharmacy last time! You even promised me I could continue selling herbs there in the future! By the way, why are you here? Is this also your pharmacy?"
After hearing what Tian An said, the shopkeeper finally remembered something: "This pharmacy is also mine. I just went to check out the shops in town that day. What's going on, little girl, you're here to sell herbs again today?"
"Yes! Are you still going to accept it, boss?" Tian An looked at him hopefully. "Don't let it be like that place just now!" If this place doesn't accept it, then the ones in town probably won't accept it either.
The shopkeeper did not agree immediately, and said, "I need to see the herbs first."
Tian An immediately asked Da Niu to bring in the herbs from the cart.
The shopkeeper looked at the large basket of herbs with some disbelief. He immediately took a few steps forward and picked up the herbs to confirm.
After a while, the shopkeeper put down the herbs and said with a smile, "You are so lucky, girl! You found the hard-to-find golden thread lotus!"
Seeing the shopkeeper's behavior, Tian An knew that the herbs would be found today. "How is it? Will the shopkeeper buy them?"
Hahaha, the shopkeeper laughed and said, "Take it! You'd be a fool not to take it. This golden thread lotus is hard to find!"
The owner of the drugstore who was called a fool suddenly sneezed. He thought to himself, "Is someone scolding me?"
Tian An blinked his bright eyes happily and looked at him and said, "How much is it per pound, boss?"
The shopkeeper looked at me, looking like I was obsessed with money, and said with a smile, "How can I deceive a little girl like you? You have cleaned up this golden thread vine and removed all the weeds and dirt. How about I give you two thousand coins per pound?"
Tian An had already estimated the price before coming, and the price was very fair.
"The shopkeeper is a fair man. I will come again next time."
The golden thread lotus weighed 25.6 jin, a total of 51,200 wen.
After finishing the bill, the shopkeeper asked Tian An, "Girl, do you want silver ingots or small change?"
Tian An thought it was too conspicuous for the country people to use silver ingots, so he asked for small change.
The shopkeeper counted out fifty-one taels of silver and two hundred coins and gave them to her.
Tian An took the money and put it in his bag, actually in the space. After all, there is no place safer than space.
Just as he was about to leave, Tian An thought about the girl again. After thinking for a while, he said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, was that girl your daughter? Did something happen to her? She seemed very sad."
The shopkeeper was stunned, thinking that his daughter's matter was not a glorious one, and mentioning it again would only hurt her. Just as he was about to say it was nothing, he heard the little girl say again.
"That lady has these little red bumps on her face that are turning white and oozing pus. No makeup can cover them up, and they're getting worse and worse! And they keep coming back."
The shopkeeper asked in disbelief, "Yes! How did you know? You probably haven't seen my daughter!"
Tian An smiled and said, "No need to see her. When I came in just now, I heard that young lady say she had pimples on her face, so I roughly knew what was going on."
The shopkeeper said excitedly, "Can you cure it?" But after saying that, he felt that he was a little desperate and was trying all kinds of treatments. So many experienced old doctors hadn't cured it, so what could a child of eleven or twelve years old do?
But unexpectedly, the little girl said, "What's so difficult about that? It's just a pimple, right?"
The girl in the room heard someone talking about the pimple on her face and was already paying attention to it. When she heard that it could be cured, she couldn't help but walk out of the room immediately. You know, this pimple had been tormenting her for a long time.
"Can you really cure it?"
