The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 30 So Smart

From Qian Long's memory, Su Xiaoye put another ham and some cakes into the basket.She was careful this time, for fear of revealing another corner and letting the bad guys see her malicious intentions.

When passing by the holy hand hall, I saw Su Ling and Su Chang standing in front of the door asking someone what was written on the notice posted on the doorpost. When someone read it to them, they nodded while listening.

Su Xiaoye's eyes were good, and she saw from a distance that it was a notice to purchase medicinal materials. In addition to the usual medicinal materials, she also said that she would purchase century-old ginseng and several precious medicinal materials.

The two brothers heard from her that they made 20 taels from selling Polygonum multiflorum last time, and they want to go to the mountains to try their luck again?

Su Xiaoye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she saw that the two of them entered the Holy Hand Hall after they had inquired about it, Su Xiaoye was afraid that the people inside would recognize that she had sold medicines, so she didn't follow the lies she made up, but went to the city gate and waited. brothers.

After arriving at the city gate and waiting for a while, I saw the two brothers trotting towards this side.Seeing Su Xiaoye waiting in front of the city gate, he quickened his pace even more.

When he arrived in front of him, Su Ling stuffed a warm oiled paper bag into Su Xiaoye's hand.

"What is this?" Su Xiaoye asked with a smile as she opened it.

Su Chang chuckled, "Master Shao asked for the mutton buns. I heard that the sheep were bought from other places. It costs several taels of silver to transport a sheep."

She knew the buns were delicious just by smelling them, but seeing the two brothers swallowing the buns in their hands, Su Xiaoye knew that they were not willing to eat them.

"Have you eaten?"

Su Chang shook his head honestly, "I'm not hungry, I'll save it to go home and eat with my mother and Xiaocao."

Su Xiaoye stuffed the steamed stuffed bun back into his hand, "Then I won't eat it either. I'll make some porridge when I go home, and then I'll order some pickles."

Su Chang was still persuading her to have a taste, but Su Ling hummed slightly, "Go back and eat together."

There were people coming and going at the gate of the city, so it's not suitable to talk too much, the three of them left the city after paying the exit tax.

Along the way, Su Chang was talking about the high price of medicinal materials in Shengshoutang, and then he took out a paper bag from his arms, and opened it to reveal several dried medicinal materials inside, "That's it, we bought it in the drugstore, After going back up the mountain, just look for it like this."

These are medicinal materials that haven't been processed yet. I don't know if Holy Hand Hall wants to keep them as specimens to teach the young apprentices in the store to know medicinal materials, but they still haven't had time to process them.But the brothers are really smart to think of looking for samples and looking for each other.

It's a pity that they are illiterate, and I'm afraid it will affect their future.

Su Xiaoye thought that now that her family was rich, maybe she could send them to school to learn a few words, and she could use this as an excuse to make her knowledge of words a matter of course.

All the way, I was thinking about how to persuade Xu Zhixiang to send both brothers to study.

It wasn't until after walking a long way and seeing no one on the road that Su Xiaoye said: "This time I also bought good things in the city, we can have meat when we go back."

Su Chang immediately came over and opened the hay in the basket. When he saw the ham inside, he didn't recognize it, "Sister, what is this? It looks like meat to me, but it doesn't look like it."

Su Xiaoye smiled, "Silly boy, this is called ham, and it's made from pork legs."

Hearing that it was made of pig legs, Su Chang immediately took a breath, but quickly covered it with hay again, for fear of being seen by passers-by.

Su Ling was also very surprised, "How much does such a big pig leg cost?"

Su Xiaoye was afraid of scaring them, so of course she didn't dare to tell the real price, so she slapped her hand, "It's [-] Wen. If I didn't earn some money at home these days, I wouldn't be willing to buy it."
