Chapter 10: Going to the city to buy and sell, and drag people to be buried with them

In the courtyard, Luo Xi lazily leaned against the window, listening to the old lady quarreling with other scholars, scolding them until she was powerless to resist.

Her crazy best friend once said, don't jump repeatedly in areas you are not familiar with, and give up your position to capable people.

No, the old lady who would die if she didn't swear was also useful.

After hearing this, Luo Xi climbed over the courtyard wall. She had a new house, so she had to go to the city to buy some daily necessities.

"..."

Outside the hospital, Gu's mother couldn't bear it anymore. She rolled her eyes and fainted in the village chief's arms.

Mei Fugui supported Gu's mother with an ugly expression and yelled at the villagers who were still joining in the fun: "Go back to the fields."

"Why join in the fun?"

"Forgot that your family's fields are still in the name of Gu Xiucai?"

The villagers were resentful and did not dare to say anything more.

These days, the tax on the land under the name of a scholar with a good reputation is reduced by half.

Last year, under the village chief's instigation, many people put their fields in Gu Chi's name. After the village chief's reminder, no one dared to watch the fun anymore.

Looking at the villagers gradually disappearing, Mei Fugui was very proud. Nothing in Zhengdao Village could escape his control.

"..."

Zhengdao Village is located in the mountains, and it takes an hour to walk from Taiping Town, and an hour and a half from the county seat.

Luo Xi decisively chose a county with more and more comprehensive supplies.

Yongning County is divided into four main streets: east, west, north and south.

Wharf Street on the east side, where ships dock to unload cargo.

The west side is mainly populated by civilians.

There are many wealthy people's mansions in the south, and there are many restaurants and shops.

To the north are the large and small academies, also known as Academy Street.

Luo Xi took stock of what she had gained during this period, put it into the city in a backpack, and took the lead to Baicao Hall in the south of the city.

As a customer, I touched the price of the medicinal materials.

When the waiter saw that she was dressed in rags, he had no patience to answer and kicked her out after a few words.

Luo Xi got the answer she wanted and went straight to the next medical clinic.

In the middle of the afternoon, I almost figured out the prices of the medicinal materials. After the boss of the steamed bun shop asked me, I went straight to Yonghetang in the west of the city.

At this time, there were not many patients being seen in Yonghe Hall. The shopkeeper stood behind the desk, fiddling with his abacus with a sad face.

He looked up and saw a handsome young man approaching with a bamboo basket on his back. He put down his abacus, put away the sad look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you want to see a doctor or take medicine?"

Luo Xi looked around the medicine hall. There were a dazzling array of medicinal materials in the cabinets on all sides. Two old doctors were treating patients without raising their heads, and the medicine boys were performing their duties.

She walked up to the shopkeeper and asked directly: "What price do you charge for Gastrodia elata and Polygonum multiflorum?"

"What's your Shouwu?" The shopkeeper put away his smile and said urgently, "What year is it from? Quickly bring it to me to see."

Luo Xi took off her backpack, took out some pieces of Polygonum multiflorum she had dug recently, and put them on the counter.

After reading it, the shopkeeper couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Twenty years old. The medicinal materials are in good quality and well preserved. I'll give you this number."

He held up three fingers.

"Thirty taels?" Luo Xi raised her eyebrows. It was higher than the price in Chengnan. She took out Ganoderma lucidum again, "What about this one?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he took the Ganoderma lucidum handed over by the young man and looked at it carefully, and finally gave the price of three hundred and fifty taels.

It was almost as expected by Luo Xi. After some bargaining, he made a total of four hundred taels of Ganoderma lucidum, Shouwu and Gastrodia elata.

The bamboo forest in the back mountain is stable.

Luo Xi took the four banknotes she had just received... and was about to turn around when the shopkeeper behind her looked at the Shouwu on the counter and asked without giving up:

"Does the little brother have Polygonum multiflorum of a higher vintage in his hand?"

He sighed and added: "To be honest, I am in urgent need of Shouwu that is over a hundred years old. If you have it, I can give you a high price."

There was an order from above to search for Polygonum multiflorum that was over a century old. He has been running a drug store for twenty years and has a good way of recognizing people.

The young man's eyes were always calm. Although his clothes were shabby, his calmness seemed to be innate. He had no nostalgia for selling medicinal materials that could save his life.

As if she had something better than this, she asked.

Luo Xi raised her eyebrows. She did have a better space.

Selling the second best and keeping the best for herself is her habit.

She is short of money, but she is not stupid enough to sell life-saving medicine.

After leaving the hospital, Luo Xi went straight to Buzhuang.

I bought four sets of fine cotton clothes, inside and out, two pairs of deerskin boots, and two sets of coarse linen clothes to wear when going into the mountains.

A large eight-pound quilt, two summer quilts, and bed sheets and covers are all made of fine cotton.

"Twenty taels in total, I'll give you two more pairs of cotton socks and a handkerchief at my discretion." The female shopkeeper smiled and sent Luo Xi out, making sure to pick up the goods in three days.

Next, she went to the grain store and bought a hundred kilograms of rice, white flour, and three-height noodles, and stored them in the space for later use.

Vinegar, soy sauce, miso, spices...

After a messy day, Luo Xi, who was sitting in a restaurant enjoying delicious food, calculated that she had spent more than sixty taels.

The waiter in the restaurant stood next to Luo Xi with a numb face: "Sir, you ordered five meat dishes, three soup dishes, eight bowls of rice and a pot of tea, totaling seven taels and six dollars."

Luo Xi clicked her tongue: "Money really doesn't go well!" She had to find a way to make money.

Waiter, hehe, he doesn’t even look at how much he eats!

On the way back to the village, Luo Xi was thinking about making money.

When I walked outside the courtyard gate, I suddenly heard a frightened scream coming from the thatched house opposite: "Ah! Kill!"

Luo Xi tilted her head and saw two familiar carriages parked beside the dirt road.

Suddenly, the courtyard opposite the door opened, and a group of people ran out crawling and rolling, led by a woman, covering her bleeding arm with a horrified expression.

Luo Xi was delighted when she saw it. Isn't this Mrs. Wang who had a relationship with her on two occasions?

Behind him, an old woman in gorgeous clothes with beaded hair ran out, supported by her daughter-in-law.

The group of people seemed to be too frightened and stood outside the courtyard gate, breathing heavily.

Mrs. Wang covered her wound, with an ugly face, and asked the old lady in Chinese clothes: "Didn't you say that the person was going to die? Why did you wake up so suddenly?"

The latter was also in shock. After taking a breath, he looked ferocious and said, "Don't you want to be buried with him? No matter whether he is alive or dead, just take him away and bury him."

Luo Xi stood in the shadows and listened for a while, and finally understood.

The fat daughter of the mayor's family died last night. The mayor's white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift, feeling sorry for the fact that his daughter was going to die young before she got married.

Someone around me suggested that it would be better to choose a good man to marry in secret, so as not to worry about the young lady having no one to accompany her when she leaves.

Somehow, he found out about the opposite door, Lu Yunjin, who had been unconscious for half a month, and saw that both of them were about to die.

Use your horoscopes to calculate with your husband, they are a match made in heaven!

The mayor contacted the Lu family's old house and offered to pay two hundred taels for the two children to form a secret marriage and stay together after death.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to drag Lu Yunjin to be buried with him.

Hearing that there was a dowry of two hundred taels, the Lu family agreed without hesitation.

Now I am trying to take the person away, and when the time comes, I will bury him directly.

Everything went smoothly! When they came to pull people, I didn’t know why the man who had been unconscious for half a month woke up at this time and went crazy and stabbed people with a knife!
