70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

Go to the county town to sell.

There are many pharmacies in the county town, so you can ask at several.

Zhou Feitian agreed.

It turns out that Old Zhao told Zhou Qingwen that the middleman owned a pharmacy in the county town.

As long as you mention Old Zhao's name, Old Zhao will receive a commission, which will be given to him by the person at the pharmacy.

Zhou Qingwen can also get more money.

That's what human kindness is.

I took an oxcart to the town at the village entrance, and then transferred to another vehicle to go to the county seat.

I stood in front of a pharmacy for a while.

I saw people coming and going from the pharmacy.

It seems that this pharmacy, named "Rende Pharmacy" as Old Zhao mentioned, has many patients.

This proves that the doctor's prescription is good, that he is capable, and that he has some skills.

Besides Li Ren and his wife, who were busy preparing traditional Chinese medicine, Li Ren, a doctor, had three apprentices working on it, while his wife was helping to pack Western medicine.

In those days, those who opened pharmacies in county towns all had connections.

Ordinary people can't drive it.

Zhou Qingwen and Zhou Feitian went into the pharmacy together.

Li Ren looked up and asked, "Who's seeing a doctor?"

Zhou Feitian, who was standing next to Zhou Qingwen, said, "Doctor, we'd like to see if you'll accept old ginseng."

Just then, all the patients in the pharmacy had left.

It was just the father and son.

Zhou Qingwen immediately said, "I was introduced by Old Man Zhao."

Li Ren said, "Come with me to the backyard to talk."

Li Ren slightly raised his head and slowly walked ahead: "Follow me."

The three of them walked to the backyard, where some medicinal herbs and flowers were planted. The fragrance of the herbs and flowers mixed together, giving it a unique charm of a farmer's medicinal herb field.

"Did Old Zhao tell you? I want to buy items that are at least 20 years old."

Zhou Feitian took a deep breath. "This ginseng of mine is 25 years old."

Li Ren asked excitedly, "Can I take a look?"

Zhou Feitian said, "Okay."

Zhou Feitian wasn't worried. His third son possessed the strength of an ox, making him a match for most people.

Even if Zhou Qingwen were to fight seven or eight people by himself, he would have no problem. In a group battle, Zhou Qingwen could take on thirty people at once!

Zhou Feitian generously placed the box of ginseng on the stone table in the courtyard.

The three of them sat down and stared intently at the old ginseng.

Li Ren carefully examined the ginseng and said, "It's fine. How much do you plan to sell this old wild ginseng for?"

Zhou Feitian said, "Why don't you give us a price, and we'll see if it's suitable?"

Zhou Qingwen remained calm.

Li Ren then said, "If you don't have an intermediary, the purchase price for this ginseng is 2200 yuan, and there's no room for negotiation."

However, since you were introduced by Old Zhao, his ginseng is priced at 3200 yuan. In addition, the middleman from Old Zhao has prepared a thank-you fee of 300 yuan in cash and receipt. This is the going rate. If you agree, it's a cash-on-delivery transaction for the wild ginseng.

Zhou Feitian swallowed slightly. This was the sum of 3200 + 300 = 3500 yuan, plus 300 yuan worth of related tickets.

Zhou Qingwen was slightly taken aback when he saw his father.

"Dad, how is it?"

"I think it's a good idea!"

Upon hearing Zhou Feitian's words, Li Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, I'll go get the money. You guys sit for a while."

Li Ren walked quickly toward his master bedroom.

The houses in this county town are still tile-roofed structures; there aren't any particularly nice buildings yet.

However, there are a few single-story houses left, but very few.

Soon, Li Ren brought out a small box: "Here is 3500 yuan and some receipts. Please check them."

Then Zhou Qingwen and Zhou Feitian would lick their hands on their tongues every now and then.

Open number...

About ten minutes later: "Dad, I counted 2000 yuan here."

"I have 1500 yuan here."

"That's perfect, it's 3500 yuan. Can you count these receipts again?"

Zhou Feitian said, "I'll count them."

Zhou Qingwen was still a little unsure about the number of votes.

After all, he was a time traveler, and there were many tickets he had never seen before.

Zhou Feitian carefully counted the tickets, while Zhou Qingwen used the purse that his mother Liu Yue'e had prepared for them yesterday to put the 2000 yuan in one bag and the 1500 yuan in another bag.

They were all tucked into his shirt, making his waist appear slightly bulging, but it wasn't very noticeable.

Because the clothes are quite loose.

Zhou Feitian counted the tickets and said, "Perfect, three hundred yuan worth of tickets, just right."

"Alright, this ginseng is mine."

Li Ren immediately packed up the box and carefully held it in his arms.

That's even rarer than his wife!

Zhou Qingwen carried the money, and Zhou Feitian carried the tickets; the father and son went back together.

Zhou Qingwen was very careful throughout the journey.

Before getting on the bus, I went to the restroom and tightly tied both bags of money around my waist.

When he came out, it was impossible to tell that he was carrying a huge sum of money.

They returned to the town and then took an oxcart back to the village.

Because I was afraid of something unexpected happening, I didn't eat anything on the way.

Back home, they went to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of corn porridge that were warming in a pot to eat, and another person took two wolf meat and radish buns.

Seeing how hungry they were, Liu Yue'e didn't dare to ask.

As soon as Zhou Qingwen finished eating, he grabbed his clothes and loosened the money tied around his waist: "Mom, the money's all here!"

Zhou Feitian took out the tickets and said, "The tickets are here."

Liu Yue'e carefully took the money and went into the house, meticulously counting each bill.

After Liu Yue'e finished counting the money, she came out with red eyes, as if she had been crying.

"Mom, is there something wrong with the money? Why are you crying?"

Zhou Qingwen asked nervously.

"No, the money is right, it's just that I've never seen so much money in my life, I'm so excited I want to cry."

Liu Yue'e sobbed a few times, wiped her nose with her sleeve, and then couldn't help but cry again.

Zhou Feitian put down the bowl and said, "Go wash the dishes. We'll discuss how to divide the money later. Call all the children who are working in the fields back."

"Okay, sure."

Liu Yue'e immediately wiped away her tears, took the bowl to the kitchen, washed it carefully, and then went out.

Soon after, he returned with his eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law.

Everyone closed the courtyard gate and went inside.

The family sat around the dining table. Zhou Feitian coughed and said, "Ahem! Our third son is the hero who made the greatest contribution to finding the ginseng this time. Your mother has already saved up all the money."

A total of 3500 yuan was sold, plus tickets worth 300 yuan;

My plan is to divide it like this: the third son will get 2000 yuan by himself, my wife and I will get 500 yuan, and you two brothers will each get 500 yuan.

The tickets are worth 300 each. The eldest son's family gets 50 tickets, the second son's family also gets 50 tickets, my husband and I each get 50 tickets, and the remaining 150 tickets go to the youngest son. Does anyone have any objections?

"No!"

Zhou Qingwen's heart tightened slightly, and his heart burned with excitement!

"Okay, then let's do it this way. Since we're all still living together in this courtyard for the time being, take out money and tickets equal to your own value and give them to your mother. Let your mother keep the rest for you."

Zhou Qingwen immediately said, "Okay, I'll take out 200 yuan and a 150 yuan bill, and give them to Mom for household expenses."
