The housekeeper, who looked kind and polite, said with a smile, "I was going to send someone to get the medicine from Doctor Ge tomorrow, but I'd like to trouble you two to deliver it in person."
Doctor Ge waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble."
They were counting the herbs, and the little koi had nothing to do, so he secretly poked his head out of the fish basket.
These ancient houses were all exquisitely built. They entered the main hall for receiving guests. There were rockery, flowers and plants in the yard in front of the house, and there were corridors and side rooms on both sides. The layout was particularly grand.
It was the first time that Jing Li saw a genuine ancient house, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Suddenly, a scream like a pig being slaughtered came from behind the house.
The little koi was so frightened that it trembled all over and quickly retreated into the fish basket.
The screams grew louder and louder, becoming extremely miserable. Only the butler remained calm and said, "Don't be afraid, my young master has been punished again."
Jing Li: “…”
If they continue to fight, someone will die.
Unfortunately, as outsiders, they couldn't do anything about it and could only pretend not to hear.
After the steward had the herbs counted, he said, "Including the previous one, there are seventeen of them, which is thirty-four strings of cash. We'll also take these defective ones, so all together... that's thirty-five strings of cash and five hundred coins, how about that?"
Doctor Ge and Qin Zhao exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded, "Okay."
The housekeeper was a straightforward person and quickly sent someone to settle the account.
When Qin Zhao entrusted Doctor Ge to sell the herbal medicine, he agreed to give him a 30% to 70% profit share. After deducting the 800-wen deposit he had previously given him, the final profit left in Qin Zhao's hands was 24 strings of cash and 50 wen.
Doctor Ge made a lot of money on this trip and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, if you have any good things in the future, don't forget me."
Qin Zhao bowed slightly to him: "Of course."
Doctor Ge had to rush back to the village to see a patient, and Qin Zhao had to go to the clinic to get medicine, so the two of them were no longer together. Qin Zhao did not rush to the clinic, but went to the market first with the little koi.
I promised to buy him meat yesterday.
Qin Zhao just caught up with the end of the morning market and bought some pork, rice, flour and seasonings.
The staple foods of this era were mainly rice and millet, but because millet was much cheaper than rice, most families in the village still used millet as their staple food.
Qin Zhao was like this before.
But now that I have some money, I don’t need to be so frugal anymore.
The miscellaneous items cost nearly two hundred coins in total. Qin Zhao put all the things into the backpack and prepared to go to the medical clinic on East Street to get some medicinal herbs.
Suddenly something pulled my sleeve.
Qin Zhao looked down and saw the little koi fish biting his sleeve, with the whole fish hanging in the air on his sleeve, swinging with his movements.
Qin Zhao: "..."
Qin Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do you want now?"
The little koi fish let go of his sleeve and jerked its head to the side.
Qin Zhao followed his gaze and saw a pastry shop. Freshly baked white pastries, cut into small squares, were placed at the door, steaming hot, and the air was filled with a sweet aroma.
"Want to eat?" Qin Zhao asked.
The little koi nodded quickly.
This fish not only loves meat, but also sweets.
A hint of smile disappeared from Qin Zhao's eyes. He lifted up the fish basket and looked at the little koi lying on the edge of the basket.
Qin Zhao said calmly, "You can eat if you want. But first, tell me where is that piece of clothing I just washed and haven't worn yet?"
Jing Li: “………………”
The sun is already high outside.
Perhaps because he was busy all day yesterday, and because he heard the little monster speaking human language in front of him before going to bed, Qin Zhao did not sleep well at night and it was rare for him to sleep until this time.
Remembering that he hadn't fed the fish yet, Qin Zhao dragged his sleepy body to his feet.
After a quick wash and dressing, he went to the outer room. The little koi fish was lying beside the wooden barrel, wagging its tail at him energetically.
