Female Farming Pond Fish
Chapter 22 Selling Ginseng
After changing clothes at home, Chi Xiaotong prepared to go to town. Tian Yu was worried, but he also knew that he had to sell the ginseng and couldn't stop him.
Chi Xiaotong changed her clothes and saw Tian Yu looking at her with a worried look on his face. She reached out and patted his head, comforting him: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
"But your injury!"
"I'll go by bullock cart! I'll be back soon."
After hearing what Chi Xiaotong said, Tian Yu felt relieved. It was getting dark, and it would be safer to take a bullock cart.
I've been tired all day, so I don't mind spending a few coins. Now Chi Xiaotong lives as comfortably as she wants. As long as she can ensure the basic living of the two of them, Chi Xiaotong is still willing to spend money to make herself comfortable.
If this ginseng can be sold for more than ten taels, not only can I pay off the money I owe, but I won't have to worry about this winter and can have a good new year.
Arriving in town, Chi Xiaotong went straight to the pharmacy.
Seeing a waiter cleaning, he went over to ask, "Young sir, I'd like to ask, are you collecting medicinal herbs?" Chi Xiaotong remembered that in ancient times, people seemed to be respectfully addressed as "sir".
The woman didn't show any strangeness when she heard Chi Xiaotong call her like that, so Chi Xiaotong knew she was right.
"Please wait a minute, I'll go call the shopkeeper!" After saying that, he went into the inner room.
After a while, a woman with gray hair came out and asked, "Who wants to sell medicinal herbs?"
Chi Xiaotong stepped forward: "Me!"
The old doctor asked, "You? What do you want to sell?"
"This," Chi Xiaotong said, taking out the ginseng.
The old doctor took it and examined it carefully. He nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, very complete. How much do you want to sell it for?"
"You name a price!" Chi Xiaotong smiled.
"Thirteen taels" The price the old doctor offered was not low, but Chi Xiaotong still wanted to try harder. So he didn't agree, and deliberately acted very hesitant.
"Girl, your wine is only about 20 years old, and the price is already very high!" said the old doctor.
Chi Xiaotong didn't know how to tell how many years it was, but the older the ginseng, the better. Doctor Li also said that it was only about ten taels.
"I know, but this is a life-saving medicine, and the price is not too high! I'll go ask somewhere else!" As he said that, he was about to get the ginseng.
The old doctor didn't let go: "Then tell me, how much do you want?"
Chi Xiaotong didn't say anything and looked like she was about to leave.
"Give you another one or two!"
Chi Xiaotong remained unmoved.
"Fifteen taels, no higher!" said the old doctor.
Chi Xiaotong knew that this was the highest price the other party could offer. This was already the largest pharmacy in town. Others might not be able to offer this price.
After thinking for a moment, he agreed. The old doctor was also happy and gave Chi Xiaotong the money directly.
With the silver in his pocket, Chi Xiaotong rode a bullock cart home. It was already getting dark.
She got off the bus at the entrance of the village, paid the fare and headed home. She saw her husband waiting for her eagerly. Chi Xiaotong quickened her pace.
"Wife!" Tian Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Chi Xiaotong. He stood up and waved his hand and shouted.
Tian Yu directly pulled Chi Xiaotong into the house, took out a piece of black ointment and applied it to her.
After applying the medicine, the two of them had their meal.
This time it was Tian Yu's turn to stop Chi Xiaotong from working! His legs had recovered a lot, and Doctor Li also said that moderate exercise was fine.
After the doctor said he could move around, Chi Xiaotong stopped restraining Tian Yu. He agreed to let him do some work. He cooked dinner and washed dishes. Chi Xiaotong's arm still hurt, so he stopped struggling.
Sitting there, watching Tian Yu wash the dishes. Chi Xiaotong couldn't help laughing. Seeing Tian Yu looking at her puzzledly, she explained: "I am laughing at the two of us, worthy of being a husband and wife, your leg is injured, and my arm is injured!"
Tian Yu was a little shy, but still said: "I am much better now, I can take care of my wife!"
Chi Xiaotong knew that he was still thinking about what happened a few days ago. In addition, due to the concept he had since childhood, he felt uncomfortable if he was asked to do nothing.
The concept needs to be changed slowly. You can do it as long as it does not hurt yourself. If Tian Yu had no injuries and was healthy, when he was a few years older, Chi Xiaotong would have wished that he would do nothing and lie down all day long!
After washing the dishes, Tian Yu brought Chi Xiaotong a bowl of medicine. Looking at the dark medicine, Chi Xiaotong frowned, it smelled bitter and she didn't want to drink it.
Seeing Chi Xiaotong staring at the bowl of medicine with deep hatred, Tian Yu raised the corners of his mouth and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes.
This was the first time I saw my wife being so childish. It turned out that my wife was afraid of taking medicine!
After beating himself up for a long time, Chi Xiaotong finally held his breath and drank the bowl of medicine in one breath.
Tian Yu brought the candied fruit over, but he didn't dare to stuff it directly into his mouth like Chi Xiaotong did when he fed him. Chi Xiaotong took the candied fruit and ate two pieces in a row, and then his mouth felt better.
At this moment, she was extremely glad that she had kept some at home and didn't sell it all. Otherwise, after drinking this medicine, the bitter taste in her mouth might not go away tomorrow. It's too bitter! After drinking it once, she never wants to drink it a second time.
When washing before going to bed, Chi Xiaotong rinsed her mouth several times before stopping. Tian Yu could only laugh secretly.
Chi Xiaotong didn't notice it, and was still thinking, fortunately there are preserved fruits at home, otherwise they both drank the medicine, which was simply torture. It's hard for Tian Yu to drink for so long.
The next day, Chi Xiaotong took some silver to the Li family to make up for the cost of her treatment. The medicine was expensive and cost her one or two taels of silver.
Doctor Li didn't ask much, but just told Chi Xiaotong: "Don't use too much force on your arm, take good care of it. Winter is coming soon, so you two should stay at home and take care of it!"
Chi Xiaotong agreed.
On the way home, Chi Xiaotong calculated that the medicine cost one tael, and he owed the Chen family two taels. In a few days, he would go to the town to buy a set of clothes for Chen Chengshan, and buy some clothes for the two of them to spend the winter. Two taels of silver would definitely be enough! There would still be ten taels left.
This winter, even if both of them have to take medicine, they can still live a prosperous life.
After returning home, Chi Xiaotong told Tian Yu about the account. Tian Yu didn't understand much, but he also knew that ten taels of silver was not a small amount! Farmers would not have that much left after a year.
Chi Xiaotong didn't tell Tian Yu how much he knew, but just told him that his family was rich and he should be happy. He could teach him the rest slowly.
