Chapter 142 The Little Sister-in-Law from Xiayang Village
Mrs. Liu drove Lao Niu into the town. She first said that she was going to deliver the bedding, and then went to the fabric shop in the back street to buy some fabrics.

She was thinking well in her heart, and said to Xiu Niang, "Sister, Huzi's mother just said that the shopkeeper of the cloth shop in the back street is vacating the shop to clear the goods. The price of the transaction is definitely low. Let's go and have a look later." , if you take a good look at it, let's talk about it alone."

Xiuniang got out of the car and followed Mrs. Liu. When they came to Duqian Street, Xiuniang glanced at Tairen Pharmacy and answered Mrs. Liu casually.

"Well, Chengli... Oh, sister-in-law six, my family's golden sore ointment is used up, I want to go to the pharmacy there to buy some."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu muttered, "Hey, sister, if you want to talk about our women's carefulness, then Chu Ge'er often goes up the mountain, so there will be bumps and bumps, so you should be prepared."

Xiu Niang smiled, "Sister-in-law Six, you go to the embroidery workshop first, I'll go and buy it myself, don't be late, your bedding hasn't been delivered yet, I'm waiting anxiously."

Mrs. Liu laughed, looked at the car, said something to Xiu Niang with a smile, and led the old cow away after talking.

"Hey, that's right, these two quilts are worth more than my embroidery... Well, I'll go first, and I'll wait for you at the cloth shop in the back street in half an hour, huh?"

Xiu Niang responded with a smile, and watched Liu's walk away before turning around and walking towards Tairen Pharmacy.

There are not too many people in the pharmacy this time, only seven or eight people who read the prescriptions and grab the medicines. Xiu Niang went in and took a look, and found that the clerks in the shop seemed to have changed. The little girl who had been standing in the front cabinet before The guy didn't know where he went, she looked a little strange, and walked inside to see if she recognized her.

At that time, a man finished grabbing medicine for a woman, so he caught sight of Xiuniang. He saw that Xiuniang didn't look like a person from the town, so he guessed that she was from the countryside. Her clothes were a bit rough, but she was very tall. It's Wen Wenxiuxiu's.

He asked a little more, "Little sister-in-law, do you read the prescription or take the medicine?"

Xiu Niang scanned all the counters at the back of the shop, but still didn't recognize any of the guys standing at the counters.

She turned her head and smiled at the guy, "My little brother, I want to buy a box of ointment."

The guy asked, "Oh, sister-in-law, is the ointment you're talking about treating trauma or burns, sticking it on or rubbing it on?"

Xiu Niang looked puzzled, "Oh, I don't know about this. I used to come here with my boss, and he and the shopkeeper talked about everything I bought. Today, when my boss didn't come, he told me, Tell me to go to the pharmacy and ask directly on the cabinet inside, and it will be done.”

The clerk looked at Xiuniang and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, you don't know, the guys on our counter have changed a lot, and the one who called us the shopkeeper has been transferred to the shop in a foreign country." Going to work."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang murmured in her heart, the manager of the field is doing well, why did she change the staff in the shop in turn, she originally wanted to ask the staff at the counter, what kind of workshop she wanted? What happened to the shopkeeper in the field for her, it seems that it is not working now, it is really a waste of her previous baskets of eggs.

However, Xiu Niang thought about it again, the shopkeeper of the field changed all the guys on the cabinet, so it was obvious that he wanted to keep her out of the door and see her.

Look at the faces in this room, if Xiu Niang said straight up that she wanted to go to the backyard to see shopkeeper Tian, ​​then it would be strange if these guys would agree, they put an unknown woman into the backyard casually Here, isn't that just looking for scolding and scolding?

"Little sister-in-law, little sister-in-law?"

The guy saw that Xiu Niang was in a daze and stopped talking, so he called out a few words.

"Ah? Oh, what's the matter, little brother?" Xiu Niang came back to her senses and smiled at the guy.

The guy said, "Sister-in-law, if you really can't remember what the ointment is for, then you should go back first, ask your boss, and come back when you're done."

Xiu Niang thought about it and smiled, "Oh, no, I just remembered, it's the expensive ointment on your cabinet, it seems to be called golden sore ointment."

The guy also laughed, "Hey, there are some here, how many boxes would you like, little sister-in-law?"

"Brother, please bring me two boxes first."

"Okay, sister-in-law, wait a minute?"

Xiu Niang nodded, and watched the guy turn to the cabinet behind him, looking at the top floor, looking for medicine bottles one by one, chanting "golden sore medicine, golden sore medicine".

He told others to see that he was a new guy who had just come to Tairen Medicine Store not long ago, or he couldn't remember where the medicine on the cabinet was placed.

Xiu Niang thought about it and smiled, "Hey, little brother, how is your master Wang? Didn't his leg twist when I looked at him earlier? Is it better now?"

The guy turned around and said in surprise, "I don't know...Huh? Sister-in-law, do you know Master Wang in our backyard?"

Of course, this guy doesn't know if Master Wang's legs are healed, because he hasn't come to the pharmacy "before then", but this master Wang is the backbone of Tairen pharmacy, and he doesn't come to the shop at all, he just Checking herbs in the backyard, so very few people know him.

Xiuniang smiled, in fact, she didn't know Master Wang, she could only be considered a few times, "Why don't you know him, Master Wang lives on the second floor of the small backyard, and arrives every day." Wan has a wine gourd pinned to his waist, and if you want any new medicinal materials in your shop, you have to go through his hands, and even your shopkeeper sometimes has to listen to him."

The guy paused, "Oh, sister-in-law, you still know our shopkeeper's surname is Tian."

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, "That's right, the shopkeeper of yours is a scholar, and he speaks politely, hey, brother, to tell you the truth, last year I used to put your two treasure vines on the front two sections of the counter. The Erbao vine on display is what I provided for you."

The guy searched and brought two boxes of golden sore ointment, put them in front of Xiuniang, "Oh, is that so?"

Xiu Niang said, "Why am I lying to you? You won't give me less money for the medicine. Now, let's do the math, how much are two boxes?"

The guy looked down, thoughtfully, and turned around to ask a guy opposite, because the ointment is very expensive, and usually few people ask, and he can't remember the price if he doesn't buy it often.

"...Oh, I got it...Sister-in-law, these two boxes are worth one, two or five dollars."

Xiu Niang responded, lowered her head and began to search for the money bag, but she got half of it, and she said again, "Tsk, look at my brain, hey brother, your shopkeeper is probably still in the shop right now. I'm here today to discuss with him, to see when the next batch of Erbao vines will be delivered to you, help me to tell your shopkeeper Tian."

The guy was a little embarrassed now, "This, this..."

"Hey, little brother, don't worry about it. I'm driving to town in someone else's car today. It's been a long time. My fellow villager probably won't be able to wait any longer. Let's go, you guys At this time, the Erbao vines on the cabinet are almost gone, I’m here today, and I’m going to get the total with your shopkeeper, and see how much I’ll bring with me next time.”

While talking, Xiu Niang looked at the guy. She was the one who provided the Erbao vines in Tairen Pharmacy. From last year to now, she gave them a few baskets, and it is estimated that they are almost finished.

Hearing what Xiuniang said, the guy thought to himself, this little sister-in-law knew Shopkeeper Tian and Master Wang, and told them well. She also knew that there was a backyard behind the shop, so she presumably came here often to deliver medicinal materials.

He glanced at Xiuniang, "Sister-in-law, you can wait with me in the backyard for a while, and I'll talk to you."

After the guy finished speaking, he explained to the guy next to him, and then took Xiu Niang to the backyard.

When Xiu Niang arrived in the yard, she saw that the guys carrying the medicinal herbs hadn't changed. They all looked at Xiu Niang and greeted each other. He didn't want to see her anymore, he just changed the guys in front so that they could block him.

The guy watched and believed what Xiu Niang said in his heart. He said, "Then sister-in-law, please sit down for a while, and I'll go tell Shopkeeper Tian."

Xiu Niang rolled her watery eyes, "Then thank you, little brother, by the way, you remember, you just tell Shopkeeper Tian that the little sister-in-law from Xiayang Village is here, and he will know as soon as he hears it."

The guy responded, and went up the stairs, while Xiu Niang was still sitting on the edge of the stone table, waiting for Manager Tian to come down...

"What?" Shopkeeper Tian closed the ledger, looked at the guy in front of him, "That little sister-in-law?"

The guy looked at shopkeeper Tian and got a little angry. He bowed his waist and pointed outside, "The shopkeeper, just, that's, the one from Xiayang Village, sister-in-law, she said she came to discuss the Erbao vine with you." ..."

Shopkeeper Tian got so angry when he heard the word Erbaoteng, he slapped the account book on the table, and said angrily to the guy, "I have nothing to discuss with that country girl, who the hell I told you to bring her in!"

The clerk paused and saw that the shopkeeper was getting angry. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and he hurriedly explained that he wanted to put aside his own fault, "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, it's the sister-in-law this morning... the lady came to the shop and said I know you and Master Wang, and I have a nose and an eye, so I..."

Shopkeeper Tian frowned and waved his hands, "Okay, okay, stop talking."

The guy immediately stopped talking, and he glanced at shopkeeper Tian, ​​secretly resentful in his heart, hey, what a pity for my mother, I really shouldn't have come here, I didn't get the good ones, but I was reprimanded.

Shopkeeper Tian went to the window and looked down, seeing Xiu Niang sitting in the yard, he said, "You, go down and drive that little woman out."

The guy hurriedly responded, but when he was about to go out, he heard Shopkeeper Tian's words again, "Slow down!"

Shopkeeper Tian looked at Xiuniang for the last time, and murmured in his heart, this little woman had been pressing the Erbao vine in her hand before, so she often demanded a high price from him. Yes, always asking a country woman to lead you by the nose, isn't that plausible?

He smiled thoughtfully, and said to the guy, "You, after you get down, tell that little sister-in-law..."
