The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

After everything that needed to be explained was explained clearly, Yan Zhenshen and Zhao Guizhi wanted to go buy some things. Chu Xiao said he wanted to check the accounts with Doctor Hu and asked Luo Ge'er to wait for him for a while.

He pulled Doctor Hu into the inner room, then pretended to take something out of his backpack, took out the thing he had found under the dead tree, and asked, "Doctor Hu, do you know..."

Before he could finish his words, Doctor Hu snatched the thing from Chu Xiao's hand with shining eyes and looked at it over and over again.

After looking at it, he didn't give it back, but held it tightly as if he was afraid someone would snatch it away, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chu, do you want to sell it?"

Chu Xiao: “…” He doesn’t even know what this is?

Seeing Chu Xiao didn't say anything, Doctor Hu gritted his teeth and said, "I give you ten taels of silver per catty. Yours is probably a little more than a catty. How about twelve taels?"

"Okay." Chu Xiao had no reason to object. This was not the first time they had met each other, and he thought that Doctor Hu would not cheat him.

When he saw Chu Xiao agreed, Doctor Hu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Just as he was about to take the silver, he saw Chu Xiao reach into the basket again and take out the flowers one by one. He took out six more, each one bigger than the last.

"How about we weigh these?"

Doctor Hu: “…”

He didn't know whether he should be excited or speechless. This little brother Chu had so many treasures in his hands, but what should he do if he couldn't take out so much silver at once?

But he couldn't let the treasure fly away in front of him, so Doctor Hu took out a small scale and weighed them one by one. "The total is 100 jins, which is liang of silver if calculated as jins."

Chu Xiao initially thought that this thing should be a good thing, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. He nodded repeatedly and asked, "Doctor Hu, may I ask what this is?"

Doctor Hu was amazed: "You don't know Lingzhi?"

“Ganoderma lucidum?” Chu Xiao had only seen the description of this thing in a novel left before the end of the world. It said that blood Ganoderma lucidum could revive the dead and turn bones into living things, but it was obvious that this Ganoderma lucidum was not that Ganoderma lucidum.

"Yes, Lingzhi can replenish Qi and calm the mind, stop asthma due to fatigue, and is good for the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys. Officials and those doing big business usually worry too much, which can cause sleep disorders and loss of appetite, so they use Lingzhi as medicine."

Chu Xiao nodded: "Now that you put it that way, I understand. It's the medicine for wealth and honor."

Doctor Hu also laughed when he heard his explanation, but he put away his smile after a while, and even said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chu, I have an unreasonable request, you see..."

Chu Xiao looked at his expression and thought that it was probably not a good thing, but he still asked, "Doctor Hu, if you have something to say, just tell me."

"That's what happened. Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills were selling very well, so I went to buy some herbs. I only have about sixty taels of silver left."

Doctor Hu blushed as he said this: "Brother Chu, I will pay you fifty taels first, and I will definitely send the remaining fifty taels to your house within a month."

Chu Xiao was speechless. If he had known that the old guy had no money, he would not have taken out all the Ganoderma lucidum. He had no money to open such a big clinic.

Chu Xiao didn't want to talk. He side-glanced at the Ganoderma lucidum and thought, why not just not sell them and let Doctor Hu come and get them when he has the money.

Doctor Hu seemed to have guessed Chu Xiao's thoughts, and rushed over to hold the Lingzhi in his arms: "Half a month, half a month and I will pay you back sixty taels."

Chu Xiao had to pay back ten taels in more than half a month, and he always felt like he was being cheated.

"Brother Chu, I'll tell you the truth. This Lingzhi is only worth this much in Anning Town, but I can ask someone to bring it to Kyoto. My brothers and sisters all run clinics in Kyoto, and there are many officials there, so they can naturally sell it for a high price."

Chu Xiao also understood. Since they have connections, it is up to them to decide how much they can sell it for. Anyway, no matter where he goes, he can only sell it at this price.

"Okay, I certainly trust Doctor Hu."

"Hey, don't worry, Brother Chu. We are old friends. I would never cheat you." Doctor Hu said as he took out a small box from under the desk, counted out ten silver ingots weighing five taels each, and handed it to Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao took it and felt it was quite heavy, so he pretended to put it into a basket and put it into his space. In his basket were just a few handfuls of wild vegetables, a few wild fruits, and some straw to pad the fruits. He pulled the straw upwards to leave some space underneath, so that Doctor Hu would only think that he had hidden the money underneath.

Afterwards, Doctor Hu wrote another IOU, requiring sixty taels of silver to be returned within fifteen days. It was very formal with a signature and a time.

Chu Xiao couldn't recognize all the words here, but he could understand most of them. He folded it and put it into the basket, and asked his mother to keep it for him when he went out.

Doctor Hu came out of the inner room with Chu Xiao, went to the counter and got an account book, roughly compared it with Chu Xiao, and said that he would send the dividends to him when the time came.

Chu Xiao knew that the old man had no money, but he didn't mind. He asked Doctor Hu what kind of herbs were available here and what their characteristics were.

Doctor Hu originally thought that Chu Xiao had lied to him when he said he didn't know pharmacology, but now he saw that he didn't even know herbs, so he went to the inner room to find a book and handed it to Chu Xiao.

"Most of the herbs recorded here are available here. There are pictures and annotations in the book, and I even marked the prices. You can take them directly."

Chu Xiao took it happily and flipped through a few pages. The pictures were very detailed. He thanked the customer and left.

After Luo Ge'er and I walked out of the clinic, we didn't know which direction Shen Ge and the others went. We were afraid that they might have gone the wrong way, so we sat down in a tea stall opposite and waited.

It was almost noon and the sun was very strong. Chu Xiao ordered two servings of ice-brewed dumplings. A small bowl cost eight cents, but the taste was good. It was soft, chewy and icy cold.

Luo Ge'er felt a little embarrassed to let Chu Xiao pay, since he had brought money with him when he went out today anyway. However, Yan Zhenshen and Zhao Guizhi came back before they finished eating.

Chu Xiao asked the boss to cook two more bowls. Luo Ge'er felt a little distressed about the money, as four bowls of ice-brewed dumplings cost thirty-two cents, but he thought that he had to show some appreciation since they brought him into the city today.

When everyone finished eating, Luo Ge'er took out his purse to pay the bill, but Chu Xiao grabbed his hand and said, "Luo Ge'er, your purse is really beautiful."

In the time it took to say this, Yan Zhenshen had already taken out a copper coin and placed it on the table.

Luo Ge'er was a little anxious: "Boss Yan, I can't let you pay all the time, I'll pay for this."

Zhang Guizhi smiled and said, "How can I let you pay? You helped me a lot by selling wild fruits today. Isn't it only right that I treat you to a bowl of dumplings?"

Luo Ge added: "Bringing me to the county town is already troublesome enough for you."

"Then we also borrowed your ox cart." said Zhao Guizhi.

Each person in this ox cart only has one penny, but today he ate two candied haws, a bamboo tube of sour plum soup, and these ice-brewed dumplings, totaling more than ten pennies worth of food.

While people were still arguing about who should pay, Chu Xiao was just staring at other people's wallets. Two little red fish were playing in the water. These little fish looked quite similar to the one on his wrist.

The main reason is that he doesn't have a bag to hold the silver and money. Although it would be nice to take the silver out of Brother Shen's pocket, he can't take the silver out from the space when Brother Shen is not around.

"Luo Ge'er, where did you buy this purse?" Chu Xiao got a response to his question this time.

"I embroidered this myself." Luo Ge'er said a little embarrassedly, "My embroidery is not very good. The fish is a little fat."

"You are so amazing." Chu Xiao knew without hearing the last sentence that this was embroidered by Luo Ge'er herself, and he was afraid that he couldn't even hold the embroidery needle properly.

Luo Ge'er was a little shy when being praised: "If you like it, I can make one for you."

Chu Xiao nodded: "Can we make two, one for me and one for Brother Shen?"

Luo Ge'er's smile froze on her face instantly. How could such a girl embroider a purse for another man casually?

Zhao Guizhi patted Chu Xiao when she heard this and said, "Don't talk nonsense. A purse for a man can only be embroidered by his own brother and woman."

Chu Xiao was not annoyed even after being scolded, and even hugged Zhao Guizhi's arm coquettishly: "But I don't know how to embroider a purse, can mother embroider it for us?"

Zhang Guizhi had no choice but to agree after Chu Xiao started to act coquettishly. "Okay, mother will embroider it for you. Whatever shape you want."

"I just want a little fat fish like Luo Ge'er, one for me and one for Brother Shen."

Luo Ge'er felt a little envious when he saw Zhao Guizhi's doting smile. He had been married to Wang Wu for three years. Although his mother-in-law would not treat him harshly, she did not necessarily like him. She would occasionally speak coldly to him and find fault with him.

As for Xiao Ge'er, although he suffered in the past, he is now very much loved by both his husband and mother-in-law, so he can be said to have finally overcome all the hardships.
