Hard work

Chapter 17 Consultation Fee

For the first time since crossing over, Lan Huaer felt that the tiny thatched shack-like house in front of her felt a bit like home.

Seeing that the house is full of things she will use in the future, she feels a burst of excitement.

——It’s just that I’m so excited.

So much so that Lan Hua'er couldn't fall asleep that night, holding her money jar, she couldn't think of where it should be hidden to be the safest.

She even wanted to dig a hole to bury the jar.I was afraid that I would forget where the jar was, so I gave up.

In the morning of the second day, Lan Hua'er went to the village to fetch water with dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't realize that there was an inquiring and unknown smile in the eyes of others looking at her.

Lan Huaer is in a very good mood today.

She now finally has a sum of money in her hands.Although it was not much, at least she could finally not have to worry about going home a few days later, and she and Goudan would be starved to death.

After deducting the money for buying things, she still has 430 Wen in her hands. According to the price of grain in the village, she can almost buy two shi of millet.

One stone is equal to [-] kilograms in modern times. She and Goudan, two children, eat better in a year, and probably only eat about three stones of grain, which is considered relatively good.

Even counting the change of flowers, two shi of grain would be enough for half a year.

She even felt that the people here were too strange.

The squirrel skin that comes easily is worth so much money, why are all the fools in this village, and no one is willing to make a fool of themselves.

Only later did she realize that it wasn't that everyone was too stupid, it was just that in this severe winter, if it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't survive, no one would really want to climb trees and dig out their nests next to the frozen ground—not even the hunters.

There are few squirrel catchers on weekdays, because they are too flexible.

On the contrary, pheasants are sold relatively cheaply, with a price of 25 to [-] yuan per piece.Those who are not used to hunting are rare to catch.

Lan Huaer thought, catch more squirrels in winter when they are hiding and not moving.

She also figured it out.

That is to say, taking advantage of the hibernating hibernation in winter, and the eagerness to find food, she can have some chances to catch those clever little creatures.If the food is plentiful and everything is full of vitality, she can only watch the squirrels running in front of her, and she probably won't be able to react.

——She remembered the little squirrel that flew past her back then, but didn't it just leave a shadow of its tail for her.

She wasn't a real hunter after all.This small body can't stand the toss at all.

But after February, she no longer has to worry about being hungry at home.

At that time, wild vegetables and fruits, mushrooms and fungus all over the mountain, and even the orchid from before can live well, so she will naturally be no problem.

After the house was wiped down, the sun came up.

Lan Hua'er then counted out ten from the jar where the money was hidden at home.After thinking about it, she touched ten more.

She is sending the consultation fee to Yang Langzhong.

Yang Langzhong paid five papers for a consultation, and the medicine fee was calculated separately.

She didn't know how much medicine Yang Langzhong had spent on her back then, and she was afraid that he took less.

There are a total of twenty Wen, which is a bit conspicuous in the hand.

She looked around and hid the money in her sleeves. She held the sleeves tightly and shook them. She felt that the money would not be seen outside and would not fall down, so she smiled with satisfaction.

Then he took the dog egg with the other hand and went out.

Goudan rarely went out, looked at her with joy and asked:

"Sister, where are you going?"

"Take you to Mr.'s. Be good, don't get sick, or Mr. will give you a shot—er, a very bitter medicine for you."

Lan Huaer remembered that in modern times, every child would be frightened like this before going to the hospital to see a doctor, but now there is no such thing as an injection, so she can only casually talk about individual reasons.

Goudan really showed a flinching expression, and he didn't know whether he was frightened by that sentence or by the obvious expression on her face.

"gentlemen?"

"It's Langzhong Yang, and I will call him Mr. in the future. Does the dog like Mr.?"

Unexpectedly, Goudan shook his head:
"do not like."

This answer was completely unexpected to Lan Huaer, so she asked Goudan:
"why?"

Goudan tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he couldn't straighten out the relationship for the time being.After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"Sir...bad. Don't let the dog see sister..."

This younger brother really liked her.

Lan Hua'er felt that her heart was about to melt, and she shook Goudan's hand even harder.

"It's not sir's fault. My sister is sick, I'm afraid it will be bad for you. You see, my husband cured my sister."

Goudan thought about it again, then nodded with a vague understanding, not sure if he really understood.

Lan Huaer walked with Goudan all the way, pointing at trees, houses, and teaching.Occasionally, when she met a villager passing by, she would yell at someone with a dog egg.

Goudan is still a little timid, but very obedient.Lan Huaer asked him to call, and he followed suit.

It made people on the side of the road laugh.

It's just that after Lanhua'er dragged Gousheng and walked over, those who were left behind by them gathered together in twos and threes and began to discuss.

Lan Hua'er was busy talking to Goudan, and didn't care about the strange behavior of those behind.

Yang Langzhong's family lives at the head of the village.

Lan Hua'er led Goudan almost halfway across the village before arriving in front of Yang Langzhong's house.

She deliberately picked an early hour to go there, and Yang Langzhong happened to be at home.After saying hello, Yang Langzhong welcomed her into the door.

"Thank you sir, I'm here to deliver the consultation fee."

Goudan was told all the way by her, and he also said thank you in a daze.While talking, he secretly looked at Yang Langzhong.

Yang Langzhong knew that there were several pieces of squirrel skins hanging in Lan Huaer's house, and he also knew the price of the squirrel skins, so he didn't refuse the fee.

But he still proposes that only the consultation fee will be charged, and the drug fee will be waived.

Lan Hua'er pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head:

"In this way...you will be scolded by the eldest brother."

She originally wanted to talk about some big truths, but she thought that she was a small and upright person, so how could she make any sense, and she was not from a scholarly family.What's more, even if you talk about it, so what.How much can Yang Langzhong listen to?

Simply borrowed the excuse of changing the flower.

Gaihua is a typical honest person, simple and honest like most of the simple farmers in this village.He would never touch something that did not belong to him.If someone forced it on him, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Naturally, it's impossible to live a good life with such a big brother.

But it won't be a disaster.

Sure enough, when she said this, even Yang Langzhong laughed and said:
"That's right. You shouldn't be happy about changing the flowers. The gold and medicine for the consultation cost [-] Wen in total. The medicine is collected by myself, and it is no more expensive than the ones sold in the town. Originally, I helped decoct the medicine myself, and I had to charge two Wen. free?"

Lan Hua'er pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, counted eighteen copper coins and handed them over.

This Yang Langzhong is really interesting.

Yang Langzhong took the money and looked back and forth at Lan Huaer again:
"Can you count? How many can you count?"

"Brother taught me. Can count to twenty."

Lan Hua'er spread out her hands to let Yang Langzhong see the remaining two coins.

"I still don't think enough to go home to pick it up."

[Flicking tail and looking hopefully: please recommend and collect]
