Chapter 9089: Setting up a stall to sell meat (please subscribe, please vote)
Yang Chunyan and Li Qiuyue were carrying dried herbs, each weighing only about 20 pounds. For people who were used to doing farm work, carrying such a heavy load was no problem for them.
They were almost in Ning'an when they encountered a tractor. They didn't stop the vehicle and went straight across the curved arch bridge into the county town.
Occasionally, you can see vegetable farmers carrying vegetables towards North Street. Li Qiuyue is a little worried, "It's already daybreak, I wonder if there are still stalls?"
Zhou Huaishan was also a little worried. "Yeah, where are we going to sell the wild boar meat when we get to North Street?"
Zhou Huaian looked at Yang Chunyan, "Yan'er, what do you think about us selling wild boar meat in front of Dr. Wang's pharmacy?"
Yang Chunyan recalled seeing vendors setting up stalls in front of Dr. Wang's pharmacy to sell things. "As long as they don't block the entrance, it should be fine."
As they were talking, the four of them had already arrived at the entrance of Deshengtang, and the door of the pharmacy was already open.
Yang Chunyan took out the wild boar meat prepared for Dr. Wang's family from the backpack and said, "Third brother, take down the wild boar skin and herbs."
"Okay!"
Zhou Huaishan took the bamboo basket of dried Houttuynia cordata and a few pieces of Polygonum multiflorum off the chicken bus and said, "Youngest, what should we do with these eels?"
"Bring it down and put it here. I'm going to the vegetable market to find Boss Wang." Zhou Huaian said as he walked towards the vegetable market leaning on a wooden stick.
Zhou Huaishan hurriedly said, "Youngest, your legs can't be strong, let me push you over!"
Zhou Huaian waved his hand, "No need, it's only a few steps away, I can just walk over slowly, you hurry up and set up the stall."
Zhou Huaishan looked at Zhou Huaian who was limping away and smiled happily, "The youngest has really changed. In the past, if he was bitten by an ant, he would pretend to be sick and lie down without getting up."
This lazy guy used to be like this!
Yang Chunyan's face got hot when she thought of this, and she hurriedly carried the wild boar meat into the pharmacy, "Doctor Xiao Wang, are you still busy?"
Wang Zhen, who was cleaning, turned around and asked, "Sister Yang, what good stuff did you get today?"
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "I met a wild boar and gave you some wild boar meat to try."
"Oh!" Wang Zhen said, looking at the wild boar meat in Yang Chunyan's hand, "Wild boars are extremely ferocious. Are you guys not hurt?"
"We are fine. Huai'an's leg was pierced by the fangs. Please take a look at it later."
"Okay! Check if there's any inflammation, disinfect it, and bandage it." Wang Zhen paused, "We also need to collect the wild boar skin and gallbladder. Did you bring them?"
"We brought it!" Yang Chunyan said as she handed the wild boar meat to Wang Zhen. "We also brought a few pieces of Polygonum multiflorum and some dried herbs. Shall we send them to the backyard?"
"Thank you! You're welcome." Wang Zhen took the wild boar meat with a smile, "I'll open the backyard door."
"Doctor Xiao Wang, there is one more thing. We want to set up a stall in front of your house to sell wild boar meat and corn. Do you think it is convenient?"
"It's okay, just put it there." Wang Zhen said as he walked towards the backyard carrying the wild boar meat.
Yang Chunyan walked out of the pharmacy and pointed to a place next to it that did not block the view of the shop. "Brother San, set up the stall there. My sister-in-law and I will take the herbs and pig skin to the backyard."
"Okay, then I'll put the pork out first."
Yang Chunyan and Li Qiuyue took the herbs, Polygonum multiflorum and pig skin out of the bamboo basket and put them into the backpack. They turned the empty bamboo basket over and placed the sack on top.
Zhou Huaishan brought out a piece of wild boar meat and placed it on top.
At night, we used cold water and soaked sacks to keep the pork fresh. When we went out, we also covered it with soaked sacks. When we arrived at the county town, the wild boar meat still looked fresh.
"Third brother, pull the corns to the bamboo basket, pick up the corns and pile them up higher, choose a full corn cob, split it open, and put it on top so others can see it."
After setting up the stall for a few days, Li Qiuyue gained some experience and knew how to display the goods to attract customers.
"I understand." Zhou Huaishan placed the beam scale and machete on a wooden board and began to collect corn.
Yang Chunyan called Li Qiuyue to carry the herbs and wild boar skin and walk towards the backyard.
Li Qiuyue looked at the corridor curiously, "This yard is so long, is it all Doctor Wang's?"
“It should be.”
"City people are so comfortable. Look, this alley is paved with stone slabs."
"When our house is repaired, we can go to the river dam to pick up stones to pave the road in front of the door. The colorful cobblestone road looks even better."
Li Qiuyue shook her head. "There is so much work to do every day, how can I have the time to relax?"
Yang Chunyan smiled and took her into the yard.
Doctor Wang was also in the backyard. Seeing the two sisters-in-law, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, thank you very much."
Yang Chunyan said politely: "I just happened to see it when I went up the mountain yesterday, so I brought it here for you to try."
"Wild boars are very ferocious, be careful if you encounter one!"
"Okay!" Yang Chunyan picked out the Polygonum multiflorum from the basket, "There's only one big one, the others aren't very good."
Doctor Wang picked it up and took a look. "The big one is OK. I'll charge you 30 yuan for it. The rest will be 6 yuan per pound."
Li Qiuyue looked at Yang Chunyan happily, "Chunyan, take out the other things and show them to Doctor Wang."
Yang Chunyan nodded and took out the wild boar skin. "We poked a lot of holes in this wild boar skin. Take a look."
Doctor Wang waved his hand. "The hole is fine. It will be cut out when the medicine is used. Did you bring the gallbladder?"
"I brought it!" Yang Chunyan took out the wild boar gall and handed it to him, "I hung it under the eaves to dry last night."
"Not bad!" Dr. Wang praised, "You have to be someone like you who has been exposed to Chinese medicine to know that these things are useful."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "I know a little, but I am not as experienced as those old herbal farmers who have been collecting herbs for many years."
"You're pretty good too."
At this time, someone outside called Doctor Wang. He put down the pig gallbladder and said, "Let Wang Zhen weigh it for you. I'll go to the store to check."
"Okay, you're busy!"
Wang Zhen pulled the scale over and looked at the wild boar skin. "Fortunately, you didn't stew the skin. It's more expensive than pork. It can be sold for 1.6 yuan per pound. And wild boar gallbladder, a small one can be sold for 35 yuan."
"Oh my god, a pig's gallbladder can be sold for so much!" Li Qiuyue looked at Yang Chunyan in surprise, "Luckily you are here, otherwise we would have lost it long ago."
Yang Chunyan joked: "Then you have to reward me well."
"You are the God of Wealth in our family. From now on, I will be responsible for all the work."
"Sister-in-law, please stop talking like that. Others will laugh at you."
Wang Zhen weighed the pig skin and said, "It weighs 15 pounds and 6 ounces, a total of 24.96 yuan."
Yang Chunyan hurriedly picked up the bamboo basket and said, "I'll pour the houttuynia cordata into the basket!"
Wang Zhen said: "Dried Houttuynia cordata is 25 jin, 0.2 cents per jin, Houttuynia cordata is 33 jin 4 liang, 0.35 cents per jin, Polygonum multiflorum is 7 jin 8 liang, 6 yuan per jin."
Yang Chunyan took the honey out of the basket on her back. "There are a few pounds of big-hanging honey and a few pounds of old-comb honey. They are all mixed together. Take a look."
Wang Zhen took a look, nodded and said with a smile: "The wild honey that Brother Zhou found is good. I'll go get a jar to put it in."
"Okay!"
Wang Zhen took out a jar, peeled it and poured the honey into it. "11 jin 9 liang, that's the price that day. These honey combs weigh one jin!"
"Thank you, Dr. Xiao Wang!"
Wang Zhen took out an abacus and started to fiddle with it. "Houttuynia cordata 5 yuan, Houttuynia cordata 11.7 yuan, Polygonum multiflorum 46.8 yuan, plus the top-grade stuff 30 yuan, the total amount of herbs is 93.5 yuan, the wild boar skin and wild boar gallbladder are 56 yuan, and the honey and honey spleen are 82.9 yuan."
Li Qiuyue looked at Yang Chunyan with envy, and thought of the honey that Zhou Huaian left for the family last time. She thought to herself: I didn't expect that the youngest child would leave so much of such an expensive thing at home. The couple are really generous.
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "You still lost a few cents."
"A few cents to buy candy for the child." Wang Zhen smiled as he walked into the house and handed the money to Yang Chunyan. "It's 228.4 yuan in total. Sister Yang, please count it."
Yang Chunyan counted and nodded, "Right, then we'll go out first."
