Chapter 10 Selling Ginseng
Xia Yutong was not a stingy person, so she bought it directly in the store to save herself the trouble, which made the waiter brother very happy.
You have to know that the people living here are all poor people. Every penny counts, so who would be willing to waste money on firewood?
This time, Xia Yutong directly dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into the medicine. Now that they have arrived in the town, her father's leg must heal as soon as possible.
This way there will be someone to protect them from the wind and rain.
At the current rate of progress, Mr. Xia will be able to get out of bed and move his legs around in at most half a month.
If Mr. Xia has any questions at that time, just say that the medicine is good.
Xiaoxuan took Xia Qingshan to have breakfast, and then bought two pounds of meat and asked him to take it back to the village chief. Xia Qingshan didn't want it, but Xiaoxuan was a very naughty kid, so he threw it directly onto the ox cart and ran away.
Xia Qingshan wanted to go back and return it to Brother Feng, but in the end, thinking of his frail son at home, he accepted it cruelly.
I think since Brother Feng can let Xiaoxuan send him meat, his family must not be short of this money.
At worst, he can go into the mountains and catch a few pheasants when he has time and then compensate Brother Feng.
After comforting himself, Xia Qingshan drove the ox cart out of the town.
When Xiaoxuan came back, he brought a lot of food. Cakes and buns are the easiest to preserve, so Xiaoxuan bought enough food for one day.
No one cares much about this, it is much better than before.
After eating, Xia Yutong brought the medicine over and said, "Dad, take the medicine. After that, Xiaoxuan and I will find a middleman and buy a small yard for us." Now that we have come to the town, we should settle down.
Father Xia was a little worried, mainly because they were too young.
But I...
"Then you better be careful." Finally, I agreed to let them go.
But just as they were talking, the second brother came over. He just wanted to ask if they wanted to prepare lunch.
I happened to hear their conversation at home.
"Hello, sir." Their store also does this middleman business, but they only do business with poor families.
There are few successful ones on weekdays.
Now that the opportunity has come, he certainly can't let it go.
Seeing that it was the second brother at the door, Xia Feng smiled and let him in.
"I wonder what's the matter, waiter?" Xia Feng put down the bowl of medicine in his hand and asked the waiter who came in.
"Excuse me, sir. I just heard that you want to buy the yard. Is that true?" the waiter asked nervously.
If he sold the yard, he...
You can get a lot of reward money.
"This is the case. Does the waiter have any good recommendations?" Compared with the middleman, Father Xia might trust the waiter in front of him more.
He had lived here before and knew what kind of person the innkeeper was.
I'm afraid that those who can work here are not bad in character.
"Yes, of course." Then the waiter talked about the services in his store.
After hearing this, the Xia family laughed.
It’s really God’s blessing that I met a noble person when I went out.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Xiaoer, with this matter. My legs and feet are not very convenient now. Could you please take my child to see it?" If possible, he would also like to go.
But after all, it was just a broken bone, so he decided to wait here for news. He believed in his two children.
"Of course." The second brother was so happy.
Once this house is sold, he will make a lot of money.
So Xiaoxuan and Xia Yutong finally followed the second brother out of the inn.
After the shopkeeper found out, he was extremely polite to the Xia family.
In front of Xia Yutong and Xiaoxuan, he instructed the waiter to walk more and make sure to help the guests choose a good place to stay.
For this, Xia Yutong was very grateful to the shopkeeper.
She thought that if the house was chosen well, she would really have to thank the shopkeeper and the waiter in the future.
The town is quite big, so don't go to the east side, as that's where the rich people live.
They are now in Xishi, where the surrounding villagers gather.
It’s much more lively than the east side.
That day, the waiter took the two children to look at a lot of information collected by their boss.
There are a few yards that are quite suitable, and the price is also reasonable.
Because there were too many weak people in the family, he finally decided with Xia Yutong and decided to settle on a small courtyard with an entrance.
This courtyard is very close to Xishi. It is just a small intersection away from Xishi. The front of the courtyard is blocked by a row of shops.
This one is not the one she is most satisfied with, but it is the most suitable one for their family to live in now.
Plus the price is affordable for them.
In fact, it is true that this courtyard is close to the West Market, but it is not facing the street. If you live there yourself, the courtyard is too expensive. If you do business, it is useless to buy it because it is not facing the street.
That’s why it’s difficult to sell.
The waiter was very happy when he saw that they were interested in this restaurant.
But he was still a little worried that they didn't have that much money.
But I didn't ask too many questions or say too much in person.
The price of one hundred and twenty taels is indeed expensive. After returning to the inn, Xiaoxuan reported to his father about today's house viewing.
After hearing this, Father Xia frowned.
"Isn't that yard too expensive? We don't have enough money at home." If he was frugal, he could still get by, but in his current state, he couldn't make any money. "It's okay, Dad. Don't worry about the money. You forgot, we still have a ginseng root that hasn't been sold yet." Seeing her father hesitate, Xia Yutong immediately started talking about ginseng.
"That ginseng root will definitely fetch a good price. I'll ask the pharmacy tomorrow."
"Alas." Xia Feng knew what his children meant. It was all because of him that he was useless.
This family is still very lucky to have them around.
"Okay, go ask tomorrow, but don't rush to sell it." Xia Feng was afraid that she would be cheated.
But he didn't know that his daughter was smarter than a devil. So he lied to her. It was good enough that she didn't lie to others.
Xia Yutong thought that the weather was fine and it was almost time, so she had to go to the appointment, as Doctor Zhong still owed her some ginseng.
It seems she needs to prepare tonight.
"Yeah, I know, Dad."
They are all people who have been beaten by society, how can they not have some knowledge?
The family matters have been discussed. Tomorrow, Xia's father will go and buy the yard from the shopkeeper, and she will go alone to sell ginseng.
Xia Feng originally wanted Xiaoxuan to accompany him on this matter, but was fooled by Xia Yutong.
The words I said to Xiaoxuan were, "What if Dad doesn't want to leave in the end? Do we still need a family? Mom and little sister can't stay in the inn all day, right?"
Anyway, Xiaoxuan was finally tricked into following his father.
The shopkeeper was also a good man. He asked two people to carry Xia's father to take another look at the yard. Xia's father was very satisfied with it.
Maybe it was because he had never been served by anyone, and after experiencing this all of a sudden, Xia Feng became bolder.
I paid the deposit on the spot and bought the yard.
