Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 80 Consignment
Smoke was rising from the mountain village, and every household had already prepared dinner, and some even had already started eating.

Before Yang Weibo and the others entered the room, Chunqiu heard her uncle's screaming and scolding in the room.

"You damn girl, these things are sold for money, you still dare to hide them secretly, if you don't beat you for a day, you are so skinny, it's really the wrong way..."

Chunqiu stood at the door, listening to the voices in the courtyard in a daze, but did not move. When Yuan saw it, he reached out and poked Chunqiu, then pushed open the door, and walked in with Yang Weibo one after the other.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Yuan looked up, looked at the two people squatting under the pear tree, and asked.

"...Hey, look who's back here?" Gu Shi heard the noise at the door, turned her head and looked over, her tone was a bit weird, "I said brother and sister, what's going on? You came back so late?"

Yuan smiled, "Sister-in-law, didn't I just go for a walk on the mountain? Yesterday Qiu'er was greedy for the fungus picked by my sister-in-law. I thought that these things are sold by my sister-in-law. How can I give them away for nothing if I like them?" Ah, sister-in-law, are you right?" Yuan Shi turned her head and glanced at the pannier Yang Weibo was carrying, and then said, "So why don't I go to the back mountain to pick some back while the weather is cool?"

Listening to the meaning of those words in Yuan's mouth, Mrs. Gu pursed her mouth in displeasure, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is this blasphemy? Who can't hear it after looking at it?" Isn't this blaming her for being stingy?One moment, another moment, now is not the same as before, with Gu Cong forcing her before, and her mother chasing after her, Gu Shi has to think about it.

"Sister-in-law, the child is still young, so I'm afraid it's not good to be heard by others." Yuan looked at Chunhua who was scolded by Gu with tears in her eyes, and persuaded in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know us The old Zhang family next door has a bad mouth, if this is passed to my mother's ears, I'm afraid I will be unhappy again."

Mrs. Gu obviously heard the voice of Yuan's words. In the old Yang's house, children can't scold, let alone beat them. Mrs. Yang and Li can scold them by themselves. If it's someone else, they really weigh it. That incident was not uncommonly scolded by Yang Lishi both openly and secretly.

Mrs. Gu glanced up at Mrs. Yuan, then at Chunhua, who was crying not far away, chopped off her feet, and said in a low voice, "You damn girl, what's wrong with you? You're still crying, hurry up, give it to me." When I go back to the house, I know how to eat and eat every day..." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Gu picked up Chunhua who was squatting on the ground, regardless of Chunhua's struggle, grabbed Chunhua's clothes and walked into the house...

Yuan Shi took the opportunity to glance, and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, her sister-in-law is really sad.

Chunqiu obediently stood aside, seeing that her uncle's figure had disappeared, she said directly to Yuan Shi, "Mother, let's go into the house."

Yuan Shi turned her head, looked down at Chunqiu beside her, and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Niuniu is hungry? What are you doing in a hurry to go back to the house?"

"Tiger is hungry." Chunqiu said solemnly, without showing the fact that he was extremely hungry.

"Okay." Yuan Shi squinted her eyes with a smile, "Where is your father?" After so long, why did this person disappear?

Chunqiu looked back and said, "Let's go back to the house."

"All right, let's go back to the house first," Yuan Shi said.

As Chunqiu said, Yang Weibo had already entered the house with a basket on his back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Gu, ignored his somewhat unreliable sister-in-law, and turned back to the house directly.

When Yuan and his wife entered the room, Yang Weibo was sitting on the stool on the ground resting his feet, and the tiger was lying on the kang crying for hunger.

"Oh, you can just hide and leave our mothers and daughters behind." When Yuan entered the door, she saw Yang Weibo who was resting on the side, and said with a blank look.

"Hey, am I in a hurry?" Yang Weibo knew that he was in the wrong, and faced Yuan's complaints, he put on a flattering face.

Yuan shi smiled and said "death"

Yuan went directly to the basket, took the Ganoderma lucidum out of the basket and held it in her arms, then turned to Chunqiu and said, "Huzi, Qiu'er, take the things in the basket and let them dry in the east. I'll talk to your father about something, and then I'll cook something delicious for you."

Hearing his mother's words, Huzi jumped off the kang with a bang, looked up at Yuan Shi, and asked, "Mother, what delicious food are you cooking for me? I'm so hungry."

Yuan looked at her son, then glanced at Yang Weibo behind him, and said, "What good things did your father bring back from Heishan, what good things will mother give you in a while? How about it?"

"That's great, I can eat rabbit meat!" Hu Zi cheered and jumped up, "Mom, then I want to eat roasted rabbit meat."

"Okay." Yuan Shi squinted her eyes and smiled, "Go and work with your sister, and mother will cook rabbit meat for you when you come back."

With Yuan's guarantee, Huzi directly picked up the basket in the back basket, handed another one to Chunqiu, and then walked out with Chunqiu.

Chunqiu knew that what her mother was going to talk about was about Ganoderma lucidum, so she didn't shake off Huzi's hand. The two turned around and walked away from the door, because Mrs. Yang and Li at the opposite door were not at home, so Mrs. Yuan didn't have to worry about someone eavesdropping. He closed the door directly, and then signaled Yang Weibo to come over with his eyes.

"What's the matter? What's in this bag?" Yang Weibo looked at Yuan's posture, thinking that his wife found something good from the mountain?
"Come here, come here, don't dawdle" Yuan looked at Yang Weibo who was still in the distance, and stretched out his hand anxiously.

Yang Weibo took two quick steps and came to Yuan's side, "What's wrong?"

"Look, what is this?" Yuan Shi directly opened the package, revealing the contents inside.

"This is... Ganoderma lucidum." Yang Weibo stared at Yuan Shi with his eyes wide open, and whispered.

"For you have vision." Yuan raised his eyebrows, "This is a good thing. It happens that our ox cart is here. Tomorrow we will go to the town and sell it to the herbal shop in the town. What do you think?"

"It's no problem," Yang Weibo said excitedly, "It happens that Doctor Zhou is a good person, so he won't cheat us, so we can rest assured when the time comes."

"I think so too." Yuan nodded, pointed to the three purple-black Ganoderma lucidum, and said excitedly, "Don't look at these few plants, they are not too big, but they are worth a lot of money. When my father was around, I bought them for a long time. Guess how much it is for such a small lump?" Yuan stretched out her hand to compare the size, and it was about half of the small plant, and then looked at Yang Weibo with burning eyes.

"This..." Yang Weibo scratched his head, and carefully said a number, "50 taels?"

Yuan Shizheng shook her head, stretched out her hand to make a horoscope, and said to the shocked Yang Weibo, "80 taels, I bought it directly from Yao Nong."

"Hiss..." Yang Weibo couldn't help but gasped, "So many? Much more than tea leaves." Yang Weibo was a bit deceitful. When Yuan Shi talked about tea with him before, he was frightened. Compared with the result now, Still insignificant.

"Tea leaves are not as precious as this kind of thing." After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she said with some regret, "But only three plants were found, there are no more."

Yang Weibo: ...This Ganoderma lucidum is not Chinese cabbage either!Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, this is too little.

"Okay, put away your eyes, I'm just saying, I don't know that Ganoderma lucidum is rare and hard to come by." Seeing Yang Weibai's appearance, Yuan Shi smiled.

"Oh, hey," Yang Weibo smiled foolishly.

"Okay, put it in the cupboard. I'll cook right away. By the way, how much game did you catch today?" Yuan looked at Yang Weibo and asked.

"Two pheasants and two rabbits. I killed both rabbits and gave one to my sister-in-law. The rest of the pheasants were put on the chicken rack." Only one room.

"I'm not such a stingy person." Yuan Shi gave Yang Weibai a blank look, "I'm going to cook, you put away the ganoderma lucidum quickly, don't let the children know." After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she saw that Yang Weibai had put the ganoderma away Opened the door and went out.

In the yard, Chunqiu and Huzi were arranging the mushrooms and fungus they had picked, and the tea leaves were neatly placed aside.

Seeing Yuan's coming out, Chunqiu directly shouted, "Mother, what should I do with these tea leaves?"

"Leave the tea first, and mother will make it herself," Yuan replied.

"Hey, I know." After Chunqiu heard this, he played the fungus again.

The piece of wood brought back earlier has been cleaned by Chunqiu, and the fungus on the wood has been picked off and put into the dustpan. Huzi is sorting the mushrooms at the other end.Some of the mushrooms were broken, so Huzi had to pick out the bad ones while drying them, preparing to feed the chickens at home later.

Because Huzi wanted to eat roasted rabbit meat, her family ate dinner a little late in order to stew the meat thoroughly, but the stewed rabbit meat was delicious and the family ate well.

At dawn the next day, Yuan Shi got up and went to Heishan Town with Yang Weibo early in the morning.

The herbal hall hadn't opened yet, so Yuan Shi waited directly at the door, and when the herbal hall opened, Yuan Shi was also the first to rush in.

"Excuse me, is Dr. Zhou there? I need him urgently," Yuan said with a smile to the man in front of him.

Dabao looked at Yuan in front of him, and the more he looked, the more he felt familiar, and finally met Chunqiu's face, and shouted in shock, "You...are sister Qiu'er's mother, I remember you"

"That's right, my brother has a good memory," Yuan said with a smile on his face.

"Doctor Zhou is drying the herbs in the backyard. You can go directly there." Dabao smiled and pointed to the backyard.

"Then I'll go there first." Yuan Shi nodded, tightened the basket in her arms, and walked to the backyard...

Yuan Shi stood at the door of the backyard, holding a basket in his hand, and asked cautiously, "Doctor Zhou, are you busy?"

When Dr. Zhou heard someone calling her, he turned his head and said with a smile, "This is Mrs. Yuan, right? Come to see me, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shi first walked up to Dr. Zhou, looked up and looked around, and whispered worriedly, "Doctor Zhou, can we go in and talk about it?"

"Oh? It's the old man's negligence, of course, Madam, let me go in with the old man." Doctor Zhou is also a thoughtful person, seeing Yuan's appearance, he nodded in agreement without asking why.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, Doctor Zhou," Yuan said with her head bowed.

"No trouble, Ma'am please." Dr. Zhou shook his head, and then led Yuan Shi into the room.

"To be honest, the woman came here this time to show Dr. Zhou something. Please take a look, Mr. Zhou." Yuan put the basket on the table, and then opened the cloth wrapped on the basket, revealing the cloth. The Ganoderma lucidum at the bottom, and pushed it in front of Dr. Zhou.

"This is..." Doctor Zhou was still casual at first, but after a glance, he was surprised, his eyes widened, showing a shocked look.

Doctor Zhou directly reached out and took out the Ganoderma lucidum inside, put it under his nose carefully and smelled it, put it in front of his eyes for a careful observation, and then put it back into the basket, Doctor Zhou stroked his beard with a sigh Said, "The efficacy of the medicine is very good, and it is wild ganoderma lucidum that has been grown for many years. It's so wonderful." After Dr. Zhou finished speaking, he sighed for a while. I have seen such a good Ganoderma lucidum around me, but it still has to pay tribute to the one above.

"Doctor Zhou, let's see...how much is this worth?" Yuan Shi asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Ma'am, is this going to be sold to the Herbal Medicine?" Dr. Zhou couldn't believe it. Although the wild Ganoderma lucidum can't reach the level of healing human bones, it can still bring great magical effects. There are so many good things. To sell?Dr. Zhou was a little hard to understand.

"That's right, the peasant woman is just a peasant woman, so of course she can't use it. Besides, the peasant woman's family is not rich, so... this Ganoderma lucidum is still for sale." Yuan said intermittently, hesitating to speak many times.

But Doctor Zhou saw it and understood Yuan's approach.

"Since this is the case, it is also Madam's trust in this herbal hall. To be honest with Madam, the price of this ganoderma is naturally very high. If Madam gets it from Linfang County, it can sell for at least 800 taels of silver. If it gets it from Qingyang County , then at least 1000 taels of silver can be sold, but if it is sold to our thatched cottage, the old man can only pay 500 taels of silver at most. Of course, if the wife is not satisfied, the old man also suggests another way for the lady, that is, consignment and deposit in This cottage is waiting for customers to buy it, but this method will take a long time, I don’t know what Madam will like.” After finishing a sentence, Dr. Zhou closed his eyes and began to meditate.

After listening to the methods listed by Dr. Zhou, Mrs. Yuan lowered her head and began to ponder. Dr. Zhou made it clear, and Mrs. Yuan could also hear it clearly. There is a lot of time, and if the medicine hall in Linfang County deliberately lowers the price, then Yuan can't find a way out. This is the case in Linfang County, let alone cheaper than Linfang County. It is even more difficult to go to the big Qingyang County.But it is a good way to sell it to this cottage, but the money is still a little less.

If she wants to understand these causes and effects, Yuan Shi is naturally not entangled. She is not in a hurry to spend money during this time, and she still has plenty of time. Although my wife is in a hurry, I still have to wait for this little time," Yuan said with a smile.The meaning in the meaning is self-evident, this is the last way to agree.

Dr. Zhou glanced at Yuan Shi wisely, shook his head and said, "If that's the case...the old man will accept it."

The following process was very simple. Dr. Zhou picked up the pen and ink in the room and wrote down two receipts, one for Yuan Shi and one for himself. This is also the proof that Yuan Shi will come to collect money in the future.

After receiving the paperwork, Yuan Shi said goodbye to Dr. Zhou, then turned around and left the herbal hall.

Yang Weibo was driving an ox cart and waiting for Yuan shi not far away. He didn't ask anything when he saw Yuan shi come out. When Yuan shi got on the ox cart, the two drove the ox cart back home...

In the herbal hall on the other side, Dabao sent Yuan Shi out of the door. Just as he was about to go back, he received a letter from Linfang County when he took it and turned around. After looking at the letter, Dabao handed it directly to Doctor Zhou in the backyard.

Dr. Zhou opened the envelope, stared at it for a long time, then sighed, and said that it was a coincidence that the old lady of the Dong family in Qingyang County was seriously ill this time, and was asking a shop in a local place if there was any good medicine. Agreeing to consign the Ganoderma lucidum here, secretly thinking that this is Yuan's fortune.

After Dr. Zhou returned to his room, he wrote a letter and handed it to Dabao who was beside him, and then directly ordered Dabao to take the newly received Ganoderma lucidum to Linfang County...

Thinking of the Yuan family who just left today, I am afraid that more than 1000 taels of silver will be recovered in the near future. People in the Zhou family will remember even small feelings in their hearts. It will not take long. Will come and thank you in person.

Dr. Zhou shook his head, turned around and went back to the house. What does all this have to do with him, anyway, he is single now...
