Chapter 22: A Female Shopkeeper
Although she was dressed poorly, Liu Siyu's neither humble nor arrogant attitude still won him a little favor.
"What do you want to see the shopkeeper for?"
Liu Siyu pointed to the small backpack on her back and said, "We hunted a wild boar yesterday. I want to ask if your restaurant will sell wild boar meat."
The young man frowned slightly when he heard this, "I can't make the decision on this. I have to ask the shopkeeper before I can give you an answer."
Liu Siyu grinned and said, "Thank you very much, little brother."
In less than a cup of tea, footsteps were heard on the wooden stairs.
Liu Siyu looked in the direction of the voice, and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of embroidered shoes and a rose-red skirt.
Oh my god, this is a female shopkeeper!!!
With her skirt swaying, a plump woman walked down the stairs.
She has a round body, a round face, and even her eyes are round like grapes.
There is a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, which makes people feel friendly and likable at first sight.
Liu Siyu was about to speak when the woman spoke first, "Are you here to sell wild boar meat?"
"Well," Liu Siyu hurriedly took down the small backpack, tore off the green cloth on it, and the best wild boar meat appeared in front of the woman.
Especially after being frozen in an ice cellar, the wild boar meat looks exceptionally fresh, and it doesn’t feel soft like ordinary pork when held in the hand.
The woman looked at Liu Siyu in surprise and asked, "I heard you hunted this?"
Liu Siyu nodded.
"What price do you want to sell it for?"
The fat woman was quite straightforward.
This really stumped Liu Siyu, as she was forced into doing business for the first time.
With a slight turn of his eyes, he threw the question to the fat woman again, "The shopkeeper is obviously a kind-hearted person. He will definitely not treat us country kids unfairly. You can give me a price. If it's suitable, I will sell it to you."
The fat woman chuckled, "Your little mouth is quite sweet."
The waiter beside him immediately started to flatter him, "This is our Cha Xiang Ji's shopkeeper Fu, he not only looks kind, but also has a kind heart."
Liu Siyu smiled sweetly and handed a piece of wild boar meat to Manager Fu.
"Please look, Shopkeeper Fu. These are all carefully selected by us. They are all top-quality wild boar meat."
Shopkeeper Fu carefully checked it and found that the wild boar meat was of good quality.
He smiled and said, "We can only give you 20 cents for the wild boar meat. If you don't have any objections, Chaxiangji will take all the wild boar meat."
Liu Siyu frowned slightly. When she came here, she had thought that wild boar meat might not be as valuable as pork belly, but she didn't expect the difference of a few cents per pound.
Although farmers generally like to cut some pork belly to make oil, restaurants serve those who have money, so why is there such a big difference in prices?
Madam Fu was a very careful person. When she saw Liu Siyu frowning slightly, she knew that she had something in mind.
Directly asked: "But do you think the price is too low?"
Liu Siyu curled the corners of her mouth. She didn't expect the price of wild boar meat to be so low.
Considering that lean meat in the market only sells for 20 cents per pound, wild boar meat is not as tender as lean meat.
The game that modern people talk about is just a term used for the sake of novelty.
Scarcity makes things valuable; things that you don’t eat often always taste extra delicious.
If pheasant and wild boar meat were really that delicious, why would agronomists work so hard to breed superior varieties?
But Liu Siyu was still a little unwilling.
Just as he was about to raise the price, he heard Shopkeeper Fu say, "We at Chaxiangji usually buy wild boar meat for 22 wen per pound. After winter, the restaurant will not be short of these wild animals. The reason I can give you 20 wen is because your wild boar meat is of good quality."
Liu Siyu suddenly lost her confidence. The other party had already said this. 20 cents per pound was probably the last chance.
"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Fu."
The boy weighed it and it was 31 pounds, a total of 620 coins.
After thanking the shopkeeper Fu, I left the restaurant.
Liu Sihan weighed the heavy purse, touched it again and again with his little hands, his eyes full of excitement.
"Sister, there is so much money. Mom will be so happy when she sees it."
Liu Siyu immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, "Don't make it public. As the saying goes, money should not be exposed. If someone is interested, we are just two small bodies, and we will be robbed."
Liu Sihan suddenly became nervous, looked around, and when he saw that no one else was paying attention to them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Liu Siyu smiled and ruffled Liu Sihan's soft hair. "You don't have to say sorry to me. Just be careful in the future."
As she said this, she pretended to put the money into her purse, but actually moved it to the ice cellar, which was her largest safe.
The purpose of going to the market this time was to sell wild boar meat, but most importantly, I wanted to buy some medicinal herbs to make hand cream.
As long as I make money, I will have more say at home. Besides, my relationship with Wang has eased a lot.
As long as the family has enough food and clothing, Wang should not be so short-sighted as to sell her immediately.
Once I have some savings, I will find a way to start a small business in town, and then my future life will be in my own hands.
Liu Siyu was thinking about her worries all the way and soon arrived at the door of a drug store. This time, she was not harassed by the young man because of her shabby appearance.
After all, this is a pharmacy, and diseases will not only target rich people. On market days, there are many people like them wearing patched clothes.
The waiter just looked at them and asked politely, "Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
Liu Siyu also smiled politely, "I'm here to get some medicine."
At the counter, when Liu Siyu reported the red flower, the shopkeeper hesitated.
"Why are you buying red flowers, girl? Do you know what they are used for?"
Liu Siyu didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so cautious, but it was not convenient to tell others about the hand cream.
He said that he brought it for the villagers and that it was medicine prescribed by a doctor.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions, because every doctor has a secret recipe that is not passed on to others.
But I still want to remind you that "safflower should not be given to pregnant women."
Liu Siyu nodded repeatedly after listening, and felt more respect for the shopkeeper.
"Give me the prescription."
Liu Siyu was stunned. She made this medicine herself, so where did the prescription come from?
But he still pretended to search his body for a while, and finally said apologetically that he had lost the prescription written by the doctor.
The shopkeeper frowned, looking embarrassed.
"It is the pharmacy's rule to prescribe medicine according to the prescription. Without the prescription, how would I know how many grams of each ingredient you prescribed?"
Liu Siyu suddenly had an idea. "Although the prescription was lost, they said that each herb should be packed into 10g portions. I can buy as many packages as I can with the money I have. I wonder how much each of these herbs costs?"
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned. It was the first time he saw someone dispense medicine in this way.
A normal prescription of Chinese medicine usually contains more than a dozen or twenty kinds of medicinal ingredients, and the weight of each ingredient is also different.
This girl is so good, one prescription contains only 5 kinds of medicinal materials, and the gram weight of each kind is the same.
It really makes people curious, and they can't help but ask: "Girl, what disease does this medicine cure?"
