Crossing the Unknown Country

The uncle stopped to take a look and found that the straw mat was really well woven. Their doormat faces direct sun in the summer, so it would be a good idea to buy a mat.

He asked the adult next to him, Su He's father: "How much does this mat cost?"

Su He was afraid that her father was wrong, so she was ready to make up for it at any time. Although they had just calculated it, it was about 250 coins.

I watched my father say to my uncle, "This mat just sold for twenty-five coins, and this mat sells for two hundred and fifty coins."

The uncle picked up the mat and took a look at it, then handed three hundred coins to Su He's father and bought two mats and a mat.

Su He smiled and said, "Uncle, if you want to buy something, just put it aside first. My dad will accompany you to take it home later."

The uncle smiled and said, "Don't buy anything, let's go! You can take it home for me." I simply bought another mat and went home to try it myself.

Su He's father folded the mat, put it in a basket, carried it on his back, and delivered it to the uncle's home.

Su He saw that this uncle came alone, he must need to deliver something, so it would be better for him to ask for it himself instead of others asking. Su He's brain is not grown for nothing, he must observe the words and expressions of others.

The rest were easy to sell. When people saw someone buying them, they would come over to take a look. Flower arrangements and cushions sold the best and were sold out in one morning. The eggs were also bought by one person, leaving only the large straw mats.

My father came over and asked, "Have you sold the mats?"

Seeing that it had not been sold yet, he said happily: "This store asked me to send the remaining mats over. It happened that another manager saw it and wanted to send it over."

Su He's father packed the two mats and hurried off to deliver them. The family went to the bun shop to buy buns. Everyone waited on the side, while Su Run and Su Che went to line up. Su He's mother specifically asked them to buy nine meat buns and twelve vegetarian buns, and gave Su Run a total of thirty-three coins. Everyone had two buns, and Su He only needed to eat half of one. The rest was given to the old man and the old lady, and Su He's uncle and aunt to take back to taste.

After Su Run bought the buns, they waited for Su He's father. When they saw him coming back excitedly, they knew that the mats had been delivered and the money had been collected. The family watched as it was getting to noon, thinking about eating first and then going shopping. Finally, they went to a tea stall at the corner of the street and spent five cents to buy a large pot of hot water. The family ate the big buns with the water in the tea bowls, which felt so wonderful. Su He's mother and her father shared a meat bun, and then each ate a half-vegetarian bun. Her father didn't feel full and ate a multi-grain bun he brought with him. Su He shared a meat bun with his eldest brother Su Feng, and then shared a vegetarian bun with him, and he was full. The other brothers each had a vegetarian bun and a meat bun, and when everyone was full, they prepared to go shopping.

Su He's mother wanted to buy some cloth to make shoes for the children, while Su He's father was thinking about buying oil and salt. Su He also wanted to go to the clinic to ask about herbal medicine. Finally, they went to the clinic first to ask. They didn't dare to go to the big clinic, and finally gave up looking at so many people there. Finally, they found a small clinic with an old doctor. Su He and her father went in, and the others waited outside the door. There were too many people and they couldn't all go in.

After Su He and her father entered, Su He was the first to ask, "Hello, sir. I want you to see if these are herbs?"

The old doctor took the hay they handed over, and watched them take out several kinds from the basket. He confirmed that only one kind wanted the rhizome, and they brought the leaves, and he wanted the others. The old doctor roughly calculated, paid them 200 coins, and showed them the pictures in the medicine book. If they came across these kinds, they could pick them, and if they were not sure, they could bring the whole plant.

Su He asked weakly: "Can I draw it?"

The old doctor was surprised that such a young child could draw. But he didn't ask any questions. He just took the pen and paper and asked her to draw it herself. Su He asked her father to carry her to the chair. She lay on the table and began to draw. She had participated in a calligraphy competition when she was in school. She would learn anything if she had the chance. After all, more skills are better. After a while, several pictures were traced. The drawings were quite good, and the names of the medicinal materials were written next to them.

Su He's father knew that his child had shown many abilities since he recovered from his illness. Last time, her father said that his child Su He was a little prodigy, so it was not surprising that he could do anything. The old doctor took a few paintings that Su He had drawn and was amazed. This child is so talented. Such a young child, look at the strokes, look at the lines, it really makes people look at it with admiration.
