Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"How much is it worth?" Xia Shengsheng asked impatiently.

Qiqi looked at the appearance of the Polygonum multiflorum and measured its weight with an electronic scale.

"It looks like it's over 100 years old. You're lucky. A hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum is very valuable. However, the shape of your Polygonum multiflorum is ordinary. If it was in the shape of a human or a doll, it would be very valuable."

After talking for a long time, Qiqi still didn't get to the point.

Xia Shengsheng suddenly had a feeling that Qiqi was trying to lower the price, and he was indeed a profiteer!

"Your total weight is 300 jin. I'll charge you 1290 yuan per jin, a total of yuan."

When Xia Shengsheng heard the price, he snatched the Polygonum multiflorum back from Qiqi's hands.

"You want to take away my hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum for just over 1000 yuan? Are you kidding me?

This price is not as good as what I would get if I sold two pheasants or rabbits.

Do you take me for a fool?"

Qiqi lowered her head guiltily. Oops! It seems that she was a little too greedy. The price she gave was indeed too low.

The truth is that he is really short of money recently!

His Xiaomei wanted to buy a bag, so he transferred 20 yuan to her at once, which was almost all his savings.

So, now you are eager to make some profit from the price difference, and hope that your boss won’t find out, right?

"In fact, for medicinal herbs like this, there are many that are planted, and the medicinal effects of the planted and wild ones are the same. The more that are planted, the lower the price of the wild ones.

That’s why the price of your Polygonum multiflorum is not high.

However, considering our close relationship, I will give you an extra 150 yuan per kilogram. This is really a lot. Don’t be too greedy! ”

Qiqi looked at Xia Shengsheng's considerate expression with a nervous mood. Only he knew that although there were many medicinal herbs planted now, the price of Polygonum multiflorum was very low.

But this is Polygonum multiflorum which is hundreds of years old, so its medicinal effects are definitely different.

Moreover, there are some wealthy people who like to spend high prices to buy some expensive and aged medicinal herbs, and they like to use them for health preservation even if they are not sick.

Although this Polygonum multiflorum is not in human shape, it is estimated that it can be sold for hundreds of thousands. The purchase price here is low, and the selling price is higher. He can at least make a difference of 10 to 8.

If he saves like this for a while, his Xiaomei will have a new bag.

Maybe if Xiaomei is happy, she will agree to meet him instead of just chatting with him occasionally on WeChat.

I really want to hear Xiaomei call him husband in person! It must be very sweet!

"Hey! Hello? What are you thinking about?" Xia Shengsheng saw Qiqi suddenly start to daydream, and waved frantically in front of him. It took him a long time to call him over.

“Ah? Ah!

Can you sell it now? Then I will transfer the money to you. "

Xia Shengsheng didn't even need to think to know that there must be something wrong with Qiqi. Besides, even if the price was increased, a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum weighing more than four kilograms cost less than 2000 yuan.

Why did she have to sell it to Qiqi? She might as well take it to the town's pharmacy. Even if she couldn't sell it, she could keep it for herself.

It would be more cost-effective to catch more game and sell it in a few days!

"No, I won't sell it. Go away, bye."

Qiqi looked at Xia Shengsheng's disappearing figure, and his head was about to explode. Not selling it? Then he couldn't make any profit from the price difference?

Xiaomei’s bag is gone?

Oh my god? When will they meet?

No, there are also Liu Mo and the others! He has to fool others.

Then he worked hard to make money and tried to get closer to Xiaomei.

……

After Xia Shengsheng came out, he went straight to the town and followed the place recommended by Village Chief Ma to find Liu Dasheng on East Street.

Unfortunately, Liu Dasheng was building a house for someone else outside, and they were two brothers, and the yards they built were quite large.

If we wait until this period of construction is completed, it will take about two months.

Xia Shengsheng didn't want to wait that long, so he went to another place recommended by Village Chief Ma!

When we arrived at West Street, we first ordered a bowl of wontons at a wonton stall and ate it with two stuffed pancakes that we brought with us today.

Afterwards, I asked the owner of the wonton stall about the exact location of Da Chen's.

"Da Chen? I know, I know.

Go west, turn into the first alley you come across, walk to the end, turn left, walk to the second intersection, and go in. The third house is Da Chen's."

Xia Shengsheng thanked him, paid the bill, and went in the direction the boss gave.

"The third one? This should be it."

Just as Xia Shengsheng reached the place and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

A girl of about fourteen or fifteen came out. She was fair and clean, wearing a light pink dress. She looked particularly youthful and energetic.

"Sister-in-law, who are you looking for?" The little girl asked with a smile. Her voice sounded like a lark, so pleasant to hear!

Moreover, she was quite happy that the little girl didn't call her aunt right away. After all, girls her age in the village all called her aunt, which made her sound old.

After all, she is now one year younger than before, only 28 years old!

She had also seen it when she was washing her face. Although her face was not that of a great beauty, it was still pretty.

The most important thing is that she did not look unusually old because of having given birth to four children and working hard for many years. Instead, she looked much younger than her actual age and was worthy of being a president.

"Girl, is this the home of the craftsman Da Chen? I want to find him to build a house. I wonder if he is at home?"

"You're looking for my dad! It just so happens that my dad just came back yesterday. What a coincidence! Please come in, sister-in-law!"

The little girl invited Xia Shengsheng in and talked to her.

Xia Shengsheng learned through the chat that the little girl was Da Chen’s only daughter, her name was Chen Siyao, and she was 14 years old this year.

Just as I was about to go out to find my sisters to do embroidery work, I met Xia Shengsheng.

"Sister Xia, please sit for a while. I'll go to the backyard to call my father."

Chen Siyao led Xia Shengsheng to the reception room in the front yard, served her tea, and then hurried to the backyard to look for someone.

Dachen came very quickly and his laughter was heard before he even entered the house.

He seems to be a very cheerful person.

"You want to build a house? On your own?"

When Da Chen saw Xia Shengsheng in front of him, he was still quite surprised.

After all, the people who usually come to him to build a house are men in the family, or couples who come together.

Hardly any woman came to him alone.

Xia Shengsheng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I came here on my own. Doesn't Craftsman Chen take jobs for women?"

Carpenter Chen looked quite old, so it would seem disrespectful for Xia Shengsheng to just call him Big Chen, so she could only call him Craftsman Chen.

After hearing this, Craftsman Chen smiled awkwardly.

"No, no, you are kidding. Why would I not answer the call? I just don't know what kind of house you want to build."

Chen Siyao also came over and pulled Xia Shengsheng to sit down, "Don't mind, sister-in-law, my father is straightforward, and usually the whole family comes together to discuss building a house.

It’s also good to give each other advice.

So I was a little curious when I saw you coming here alone."

Xia Shengchen made it clear that in this era, it was rare for a woman to make the decision alone on something as big as building a house.

This is why women had a low status in ancient times.

But she was not angry. She lived in a certain era and followed the survival rules of that era.

"I brought the blueprints with me, so please ask Craftsman Chen to take a look!"
