I'm the master of my life

Father Qiu opened the door to the kitchen and said, "Xixi, wait here for a while. Dad will get you some hot water."

After the father and daughter washed their hands, Li Suixin also heated up the food. After the family of three finished lunch, Lanxi took advantage of Li Suixin washing the dishes and held Qiu's father's hand and shook it non-stop: "Dad, I want to go to town too."

Father Qiu tapped Lanxi's forehead with his finger and said, "You little girl, you just got punished and you're already making a fuss about going to town."

Lanxi continued to act coquettishly, "Oh, Daddy, I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again~" After saying that, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Father Qiu pitifully.

Father Qiu was amused by her and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, Daddy agrees to you. But you have to promise that you won't run around like you did today again!"

Lan Xi nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, I promise!" Then she jumped up happily, hugged Father Qiu's neck and kissed him: "Thank you, Daddy!"

Father Qiu smiled and touched Qiuxi's head, his eyes full of love. He thought to himself, this little girl is really lovable and a headache!

"Daddy, just take me there! I haven't been to town for a long time." Lan Xi didn't want to give up. She also wanted to secretly buy some things and put them into the space.

Father Qiu couldn't resist Lanxi's coquetry and promised to take her to town tomorrow.

After hearing this, Li Sui Xin just glanced at the father and daughter and continued to work on the things in his hands. But he also tacitly agreed. As long as it wasn't that little girl, it would be fine if she went to the town alone.

The next day, Lanxi completed her daily homework, ate breakfast quickly, and then looked eagerly at Qiu's father who was still eating breakfast slowly.

Father Qiu had no choice but to speed up his eating. After he finished, he said, "Wait a minute. I'll go change my clothes."

Father Qiu harnessed the ox cart and drove off. He glanced at the small backpack on the cart and asked, "Why did you bring these herbs?"

Qiuxi took out the words he had prepared long ago and said, "I'm going to sell the herbs and buy some medical books."

"Will anyone want the medicinal herbs you have dug all over the mountain at the foot of the mountain? If you want to buy medical books, daddy can buy them for you." Father Qiu said indifferently.

"Humph, I don't want you to buy it. As for whether anyone wants it, you can just try it and you'll know."

As the father and daughter were arguing, they felt that time had passed much faster. Father Qiu spent two cents to store the ox cart and led Qiuxi towards the town.

Although Qiu's father thought that the herbs his daughter collected were not valuable and the clinic might not accept them, he still took Qiuxi to the most reputable clinic in town - Xingrentang.

It just so happened that I had an acquaintance in Xingren Hall. If the clinic refused to accept the child, I could just say a few good words or buy the child with my own money. But I couldn't undermine my daughter's self-confidence.

Qiuxi had no idea what Qiu's father was thinking. He was still very excited and thought that he should step on it well today and come quietly next time.

The little medicine boy at the clinic saw the father and daughter and asked, "Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"

"Young man, I'm looking for your shopkeeper Wen. Please tell him that it's Qiu Tongsheng from Qiujia Village."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Master Tongsheng." The little medicine boy said and went to the back.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee came out from the back, and as he walked, he bowed and said, "Brother Qiu, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Thanks to Brother Wen, everything is fine now."

"Hahahaha~ That's good! Is this little girl your daughter? She is really a cute little girl."

"Yes, this is my daughter Qiuxi. Xixi is Daddy's good friend. You can just call him Uncle Wen."

"Hello, Uncle Wen!" Qiuxi bowed.

"Okay, okay, this is a gift from your uncle to you." Shopkeeper Wen said as he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Qiuxi.

Qiuxi turned to look at Father Qiu, who rubbed the top of Qiuxi's head and said, "Hurry up and thank Uncle Wen."

"Thank you, Uncle Wen."

"You're welcome. Come on, Brother Qiu and our little Qiuxi, please come in and chat."

"Hahaha, sorry to bother you then." The two of them walked inside while laughing, and Father Qiu did not forget to hold Qiuxi's hand.

"Brother Qiu, please take a seat." Shopkeeper Wen warmly invited Qiu's father to take a seat, and waved to the waiter beside him to serve tea quickly.

After a while, a young waiter came over with a pot of steaming tea and two exquisite teacups, and also cleverly brought Qiuxi a portion of pastry.

"Brother Qiu, please have some tea. This is the good tea I just got some time ago. Little Qiuxi, please have some cakes. See if you like it. If not, uncle will ask someone to buy some more." Shopkeeper Wen smiled and stretched out his hand to Qiu's father, motioning him to taste the precious tea, while also greeting Qiuxi.

Father Qiu politely took the teacup, smelled the tea in the cup, and then took a sip. He closed his eyes, feeling the faint fragrance spreading in his mouth, and then showed a satisfied smile.

"Good tea, with a fragrant aroma and a sweet aftertaste." Father Qiu exclaimed.

"Brother Qiu, it's a rare occasion for you to come and see me. What is your purpose today?"

"It's this girl again. She secretly went to dig herbs yesterday and wanted to sell them to buy medical books. I told her I would buy them for her, but she refused."

"That's not good. He already knows how to be self-reliant at such a young age. What medicinal herbs did Xiao Qiuxi dig? Bring them here for me to see."

Father Qiu smiled and handed over the backpack beside him. When Qiuxi couldn't see, he winked at Shopkeeper Wen frantically, signaling him to help.

Shopkeeper Wen nodded imperceptibly and began to check the herbs in his hand.

After reading it, Shopkeeper Wen said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Qiuxi is not bad! I thought it was just some common herbs, but I didn't expect there were several herbs that our clinic urgently needs.

However, none of your herbs have been processed, so my price is lower. Do you have any objection?"

Qiuxi quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's good enough that Uncle Wen can accept my herbs. Besides, Uncle Wen and my father are good friends, so he will definitely not let me suffer any loss."

Shopkeeper Wen pointed at Qiuxi with amusement and said, "Hey! Look at how clever you are. Don't worry, I promise I won't let you suffer any loss." Then he turned around and ordered, "Zhu Zi, go get the scale."

"Thank you, Uncle Wen!" Qiuxi smiled shyly.

"This unprocessed white hyacinth is 120 wen per jin. You have about half a jin, so I'll give you 60 wen.

Unprocessed isatis root costs 12 yuan per pound, and 24 cents for pounds.

Unprocessed Bupleurum costs 60 yuan per catty, and 150 wen for two and a half catties.

There are two taels of unprocessed Gastrodia elata per catty. There are five catties here, which is a total of ten taels of silver.
