Chapter 5 Purchase
Hearing this, Mr. Zhong was shocked, "Can you tell me how old it is?" The girl didn't look like a child from a wealthy family from her clothes, but her aura didn't seem like she was raised in a farming family.
He still has his own bottom line and won't pry into other people's private affairs.
Xia Yutong rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think ginseng is a big radish?" Well, her space really was like a big radish.
The ground is full of it, not counting those that have been there for thousands of years.
"How old is it? No more than a hundred years old. If my father hadn't been injured, I would never sell my master's things." He secretly revealed some of the secret.
Whether it is true or not depends on the judgment of the old man opposite.
"A hundred years isn't bad." Hearing that it would only be a hundred years later, Old Zhong was somewhat disappointed. In the past, he had seen thousands of years, let alone a hundred years, but now...
"Then can you sell them all to me?" Hearing that she had a master, he no longer had any doubts.
"Sure, but what's your price?" That was what she cared about most. If it could change her family's conditions, she would definitely be willing to sell it.
"I have to see the goods first." Mr. Zhong is not someone who can be easily fooled.
Xia Yutong stood up and said, "No problem, I'll bring it back in three days."
"Okay." The deal was done, and Mr. Zhong was very happy.
"But you haven't told me how much you're going to offer for it?" She wasn't giving it away for free.
"Well, I'll give you fifty taels." After naming the price, Zhong Lao was afraid she wouldn't believe him, so he quickly said, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around to see if anyone offers a higher price than me."
As a farm boy, I was afraid that if I took this thing out, it would be eaten by someone. Fortunately, I met him, an honest businessman.
Xia Yutong was not dissatisfied, but a little surprised. This seemed to be thirty years old. Wouldn't fifty taels be too much?
But she has money, so I have no objection if she is willing to give her more.
The ratio of silver to money in this era was one tael of silver equal to one thousand copper coins, and ten taels of silver equal to one tael of gold.
All in all, fifty taels is quite a lot.
"Deal, but I need some medicine, dragon beard root, night-glowing grass..." She had already prepared a prescription for her father in her mind.
When Mr. Zhong heard this, he smiled and said, "What a good prescription! It seems that your father has injured his bones. This is no small matter. But with you as a girl, your father's injury is not a big deal."
After hearing the recipe, Master Zhong was full of admiration for Xia Yutong, saying that she was much better than his own silly apprentice.
"Of course, my master is a miracle doctor." Xia Yutong boasted shamelessly.
She has a shitty master, all she has is a book.
She is self-taught.
After leaving the pharmacy, Xia Yutong went straight back to the village.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy things, but she can’t take them home even if she buys them. You know, she only has so much money.
On the way back to the village, she didn't meet any villagers. Because she had replenished her energy, it took her less time to go back than to come.
She did not enter the village from the entrance, but walked along the path. When she was almost at the corner of the mountain, she took out the coarse grains she had prepared from the space.
If you eat sparingly, it will be enough for ten days or half a month, but is Xia Yutong the kind of person who likes to eat sparingly?
After a while, it was dark. It was almost winter, and the days were much shorter than in summer.
"Sister, Dad, sister is back."
Before Xia Yutong reached the door of her house, she heard Xia Yuxuan's shouting.
There was also some dim light in the shabby house, and the yellow light made people feel soft in their hearts.
It is a very happy thing to be waited for and needed.
Xia Yutong's pace also quickened: "Xiaoxuan, don't come down, big sister will be here soon." She shouted to the younger brother who was running down.
But Xia Yuxuan would never listen to her. He told his father and ran down.
Soon she came to Xia Yutong and asked, "Sister, what took you so long? Is the stuff very heavy? You must be tired from the journey. I picked up some black fungus in the mountains today and boiled it in water."
Xia Yuxuan slowly told his elder sister about his day's work as if he was presenting a treasure.
Xiaoxuan took the things in Xia Yutong's hand and put them on his back. She touched his head with her free hand and said, "Xiaoxuan is awesome."
"Sister, why did you buy so many things? Is the money Dad gave you enough?" The things she was carrying were quite heavy.
"It's enough, but my sister has spent it all. You have to speak well of her in front of Dad later." After seeing her brother recover from yesterday's mood, Xia Yutong joked with him.
"How could Dad scold my eldest sister?" His father would never scold them.
"Dad was so worried about you today. He even said he shouldn't have let you go to town alone."
Xia Yuxuan told his eldest sister everything his father muttered at home.
Xia Yutong felt even warmer after hearing this.
"It's okay. Big sister is back safely now. Now, give it to me. Let's go back quickly. You haven't eaten anything all day." The family was out of food, and I was afraid that the skinny little sister had been hungry all day.
As if in response to Xia Yutong's words, Xiaoxuan's stomach growled twice.
"Haha, come on, I'll make you something delicious." Xia Yutong was amused by Xiaoxuan's belly.
After returning to the dilapidated home, Xia Yutong felt that she had to go into the mountains tomorrow. Even if her father was not with her, Xiaoxuan would be able to testify.
They have to leave here immediately, this doesn't feel like home at all.
"Dad, I got some medicine for you. I'll boil it for you later." As soon as she came in, Xia Yutong looked directly into the eyes of the original owner's father.
Looking at the worry in his eyes, Xia Yutong really envied the original owner for having a good father.
"It's okay, Daddy's leg doesn't hurt." Xia Feng's heart finally settled down when he saw his daughter return safely.
"You go make something to eat first. Your mother has no milk and your little sister has been crying for a while." He felt really sad seeing his family suffer with him.
He had never felt hatred in his life, but today he felt hatred.
I hate the unfairness of God and the unkindness of my parents.
I hate myself even more for not being able to support my family.
Now I hate myself even more, like a burden, dragging down this whole family.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." After putting her things down, Xia Yutong took out a few things and went to the right side of the back of the yard, where they made a fire and cooked.
Xiaoxuan quickly followed his mother and younger sister out, seeing that they were both asleep, intending to help his elder sister cook.
When he saw what his elder sister put on the wooden board, he was dumbfounded: "Elder sister, why did you buy meat?" Meat is so expensive, how much food can all this meat exchange for?
"There is no oil at home. Dad is sick and Mom needs to feed Rongrong. How can we not eat some oil?" Xia Yutong knew that her family would be surprised, but she still planned to do it.
If an injured person doesn't take good care of himself, how can he recover? If a nurse doesn't feed her child well, how can she produce milk?
Hearing what her elder sister said, Xia Yuche closed her mouth in surprise, "Elder sister, let me help you light the fire. I picked up a lot of firewood today."
"Okay, thank you, Xiaoxuan."
She felt very comfortable getting along with this family.
The conditions are just a little bit tougher.
