Farmhouse Green Plum

After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively: "Does your clinic grow the herbs yourself, or do you buy them from somewhere else?"

The herbalist twisted the leaf root in a circle and threw it away. "Of course I collected it. This thing is very common and the purchase price is low. It is time-consuming and laborious to grow it by myself. It is not cost-effective."

Daya automatically ignored the low purchase price and asked in anticipation: "Can I sell the ones I picked to you?"

"Uh," the medicine boy was a little slow to react and repeated dryly, "The price is really low. It's not worth it."

"It doesn't matter!" Daya stepped forward and looked at him intently, "Just tell me whether you will accept it or not?"

Her eyes were too bright and too compelling, as if what she was looking at was all hope.

The medicine boy could not bear such a look, and took two steps back unconsciously, stammering, "Of course I took it."

Daya pursed her lips, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and her clear almond eyes sparkled in the sunlight.

"Thank you."

She turned around lightly and walked back to the stone where she had sat before, her thoughts churning, one idea after another popping up in her mind.

After a while, the excitement in her heart slowly subsided. She remembered something and trotted towards the medicine boy again, "Oh, I forgot to ask, do you buy dried ones or fresh ones?"

"Sun-dried ones are best. We also have to dry the fresh ones, so the price will naturally be lower." The medicine boy said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll remember that, thank you."

"Well, you've thanked me many times today." The medicine boy felt a little embarrassed by her.

Daya said sincerely: "Because you really helped me a lot."

After waiting for a while, Aunt Meihua and the others finally came out. They asked Daya to lead the ox cart over, carried Xu Dahe on the cart, and drove away.

After driving out of the alley, Aunt Meihua said to her husband, "Let's go to the cloth shop and buy some cloth."

She looked at Chen again and said with a smile in a casual tone, "If you are also planning to make new clothes, it is best to buy cloth during this period. It is still early in winter and much cheaper!"

Chen glanced at Xu Dahe and was a little worried about his health. She wanted to go home quickly to pick some ground tiger herbs to apply on them, but Aunt Meihua and her husband were helping her everywhere, so she couldn't say no.

The cloth shop is not far from the clinic and can be reached in a cup of tea.

As soon as she reached the door, Daya heard a familiar voice, "Boss, can you give us a discount? We come here every year to take care of your business. We bought so much today. Please give us the change."

"Big sister, we really can't miss this..."

She looked up and saw Aunt Liu carefully folding a piece of bright red cloth in the cloth shop and bargaining with the owner.

"Mrs. Liu is also buying cloth. Let me see what kind of cloth she bought so I can take a look." Aunt Meihua greeted with a smile and walked in.

When she saw the cloth in Aunt Liu's hand, she stopped in shock, eyes full of disbelief, "Silk?"

She walked over quickly, picked up the cloth that Aunt Liu had folded, touched it repeatedly, and exclaimed, "It's really silk! Oh, why are you so willing to give it away today? I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you be so willing to give it away."

Daya was also secretly shocked. The villagers usually wore coarse cloth, which cost about 80 wen per piece. If they were more luxurious, they would wear ramie cloth, which cost about 160 wen per piece.

And silk costs at least 500 coins per piece!

The clothes of the Song family are all made of coarse cloth. One piece of cloth is more than enough to make clothes for a family of six. In other words, the piece of cloth bought by Aunt Liu is enough for each person in their family to make 6 sets of clothes!

Aunt Liu is so extravagant!
