Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Yang Xiuying bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Doctor Xu, you are so polite. We naturally trust you."

The shopkeeper saw that the woman knew him and thought that she might be a patient he had treated before. Since they knew each other, it would be easy to talk to her.

The shopkeeper nodded. He had already divided the angelica into two piles when he checked them just now. He said to Yang Xiuying, "I've sorted the angelica by quality. The large ones are priced at 360 wen. The smaller ones, which are less potent, are priced at a maximum of 230 wen per jin. If you're not satisfied with the price, you can go to other pharmacies and ask."

The big ones were bought at the mall’s 100 billion yuan subsidy price, and I only spent yuan. The small ones were even cheaper. I can finally exchange the things in the mall for silver.

Yang Xiuying smiled and said, "We trust you, so we'll sell it to you."

Seeing that Yang Xiuying was also efficient, the shopkeeper thought it was easy to do business with such a person, so he signaled the medicine boy beside him to take the herbs to be weighed.

The medicine boy weighed the two piles of angelica on the ground in batches.

"The large ones are ten catties, three hundred and sixty wen per catty, for a total of three taels, six hundred wen; the small ones are twelve catties, two hundred and thirty wen per catty, for a total of two taels, seven hundred wen."

When Yang Xiuying heard the quantity and amount reported by the medicine boy, she knew that she had not been shortchanged. She had not expected that angelica, as a food ingredient, could be sold for so much money. This time she was just testing the waters, so she only brought a small amount.

Taohua heard the medicine boy's offer and found out that he had earned a total of 6,360 coins. Her uncle worked as a porter in the city and only earned 20 coins a day.

Mother, you are really amazing. You made more than six taels of silver in one go.

Doctor Xu looked at the thoughtful expressions of the mother and daughter and asked, "Do you want silver or copper coins?"

Yang Xiuying said, "Six taels of silver and three hundred and sixty copper coins."

Doctor Xu asked the medicine boy to prepare small change and copper coins and give them to Yang Xiuying.

"Please keep it."

Yang Xiuying took the silver, thanked the shopkeeper, and left with her daughter.

With silver and money in hand, Yang Xiuyin's steps became lighter. After having money, the most important thing was to solve the housing problem. If there was not enough money to build a brick house, he could build a thatched house. Half of the people in Futian Village lived in thatched houses.

According to the estimate that the eldest brother of the Zhao family earns 100 coins a day working here, hiring five people would earn coins a day, and it would take about three or four days to build a thatched house, which would cost about three or four hundred coins. The pillars and thatch needed to build a thatched house are available on the mountain.

Yesterday I told my daughters that I would buy them some pork after I sold some wild mushrooms.

Yang Xiuying took her eldest son to the pork shop and bought some pork belly with both fat and lean meat, and a piece of lard.

There are seven girls in the family, and we have to make sure that every girl has meat to eat. These children have never eaten pork since they were young.

At Zhao's mother's house, only the eldest son and his four older sons could eat meat during festivals, and the seven daughters could only eat lard and rice when they returned to their maternal grandparents' home.

The original owner's father was a blacksmith. After the original owner's husband passed away, he would often subsidize her, but all the subsidized food went into the stomachs of the four grandchildren of the Zhao family. Even Yang Xiuying couldn't get any, let alone the seven girls.

In addition, in order to please her mother-in-law, the original owner said a lot of things that disappointed Yang's father. Later, Yang's father stopped giving her subsidies, and gradually the original owner lost contact with her natal family.

Yang Xiuying originally wanted to use the excuse of buying an iron pot to visit the original owner's father, but the original owner's father lived in Yangliu Town. After selling angelica in Nanyang Prefecture, he had to go buy some daily necessities. It was late when he went back and forth. There were six little radishes waiting for him at home. Yang Xiuying was worried about her daughters at home after being away for a long time.

After buying the pork, Yang Xiuying and her eldest daughter went to the blacksmith shop to buy a large iron pot. There were eight people in the family eating, and the pot was too small to accommodate them.

Then he took his daughter to the grocery store and bought some coarse pottery bowls and basins, as well as some miscellaneous items, spending a total of two hundred coins.

Put the things you bought in a backpack, and then cover it with a large iron pot.

Yang Xiuying wanted to take the backpack from her eldest daughter's back, but she found that she couldn't even lift it, so she had to give up. On the contrary, her eldest daughter was used to doing physical work, so she carried it easily on her back.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuying just wanted to sigh that scholars are useless.

When passing by a cloth shop, Yang Xiuying walked in with her daughter.

Her daughters' clothes were all worn out and covered with patches, so she had to buy some cloth to make clothes for them.

"Sir, we have a wide variety of fabrics in our store. Please take your time to look around. If you like something, we'll give you a discount."

Yang Xiuying touched the patterned coarse cotton on the counter and asked her eldest daughter, "Taohua, what do you think of this fabric? Is it beautiful?"

Taohua looked at the red fabric with white flowers and nodded. "It looks good, but this color doesn't suit you, Mother. Mother, I'd rather have a darker color. This one is too bright."

After Taohua finished speaking, she looked at Yang Xiuying to make sure her mother was not angry, and continued, "The dark green material over there is suitable for you, mother."

Yang Xiuying smiled and said to the waiter beside her: "Okay, I want this to wrap it up."

She had no experience in raising children and didn't know what girls of this age liked. She could only ask her eldest daughter, who said that this kind of floral fabric was most suitable for little girls. It seemed that her daughter had the same aesthetic taste as her.

Yang Xiuying selected some more cloth and asked the waiter to wrap it. She looked at her eldest daughter beside her and said nothing.

This girl is too patient. Doesn't she want to ask?

……

After Yang Xiuying left, the little kids in the family, led by the second child, carried their backpacks and went up the mountain.

The seventh and sixth sisters were jumping and skipping at the front of the team. What made them happiest was picking wild mushrooms in the mountains. Yesterday, they heard their mother say that the wild mushrooms and the black ones in the mountains could be taken to the city to sell for money. Now they were very motivated. They must pick a lot of wild mushrooms like their sisters and give them to their mother to sell in the city for money.

The six sisters talked and laughed along the way. The sixth and seventh sisters talked about picking wild mushrooms, and the fourth and fifth sisters talked about things in the chicken coop.

Fourth Child: "Fifth sister, have you noticed? Grandma's chickens have laid more eggs since we separated. When they were at Grandma's house, they only laid one egg a day at most. Yesterday morning, I found 8 eggs in the chicken coop."

Lao Wu: "Maybe it's because after coming out with us, she's not being oppressed by grandma and auntie, so she lays more eggs."

After thinking for a moment, the fourth brother nodded. It turned out that it was the same as A Niang's.

The second brother listened silently, while the third brother stared at the bushes not far away...
