Chapter 15 Selling snakes.
Qi Meixiang sighed and looked at Yuan Junyao for a long time before turning back to talk to Cao Fen and Yuan Junyao's fourth aunt Liu Xiaoli:
"I was wondering why this kid has been so jumpy lately. I thought he was mentally ill."
Yuan Junyao was speechless and explained, "There's nothing wrong with my brain. I was about to die when I hanged myself yesterday, but an old man with a white beard saved me. He also said I was pitiful and would help me in the future."
Yuan Junyao's second uncle was the one who least believed this. He frowned and said to Yuan Shisheng, "Your daughter must have been driven to abnormality by her in-laws."
Anyway, it’s their business whether to believe it or not, but there are still many people who believe in this kind of thing.
Yuan Junyao was just finding an excuse for her change. No matter how outrageous the excuse was, no one could verify it.
It’s better than them making wild guesses and thinking she’s possessed by a monster!
Throughout the rest of the journey, Qi Meixiang kept chattering to her two sisters-in-law about Yuan Junyao.
They talked about her in-laws, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and her husband, and how strange she had been acting recently, etc. They said that three women made a big drama, and the chattering never stopped.
When they got home, Yuan Junyao was still holding the snake in her hand. Yuan Shisheng found a sack for her to put the snake in and tied the sack tightly.
Yuan Junyao said, "I'll take it to town and sell it right away."
Yuan Shisheng was worried, so he asked Yuan Junhe to accompany her.
Yuan Junling immediately said, "I want to go too."
Yuan Wang and Yuan Jin from my second uncle's family also started shouting.
"I'm going too, I'm going too."
The three girls from Fourth Uncle's family and the youngest son Yuanbao immediately agreed and wanted to go too.
In the end, Yuan Shisheng had no choice but to go with them.
After all, in his eyes, these were all children, and the oldest one had a mental problem.
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle Yuan Musheng quickly paid out of his own pocket and gave each of his two children a copper coin, and warned them not to spend their uncle's money.
Seeing this, Fourth Uncle Yuan Jinsheng took out a copper coin with a painful feeling and gave one to each of his four children.
It's impossible to go to town without spending money. They are all grown-up kids, so they can't just watch.
Before going out, Qi Meixiang took a few more steamed buns for Yuan Junyao and Yuan Junhe to eat on the way, saying that they had not had breakfast.
Yuan Junyao didn't eat any of them, and gave them all to Yuan Junhe.
They had to walk to the town, and the only means of transportation were ox carts and horse carriages, but ordinary people like them definitely couldn't afford them.
On the way, several children shouted that they wanted to buy candied haws when they got to town. One copper coin could buy two strings.
Yuan Junyao felt much better. Because of her job, she had always been alone and was actually very lonely.
So her only hobby is to do volunteer work and go to welfare homes and other places to accompany those poor children. Now she is surrounded by a group of children, chattering and it is very lively.
The atmosphere in the Yuan family is quite good.
When they arrived in town, Yuan Junyao went straight to the pharmacy.
The group of children were waiting outside, and Yuan Shisheng accompanied her in.
The shop assistants were busy behind the counter and there were many people getting medicine.
Yuan Junyao asked directly: "Do you collect poisonous snakes here? Five-step snakes!"
The waiter said without even turning his head: "Collect, go to the backyard to find Uncle Qin."
As he spoke, he looked up at Yuan Junyao, and saw that it was a little girl with a strange look in his eyes.
How can a woman sell snakes? She's a young girl.
Yuan Junyao asked, "Where is the backyard?"
The guy pointed casually, and Yuan Junyao went there by herself with the snake in her hand.
The backyard is much quieter, with all kinds of winnowing baskets filled with drying medicinal herbs, and the whole backyard is filled with the fragrance of herbs.
Yuan Junyao called out, "Is Uncle Qin here?"
"Here." A tall and thin man came out of the house with a dustpan in his hand.
He looked at Yuan Junyao and his daughter and asked, "What medicinal herbs are you selling?"
Yuan Junyao said, "A five-step snake, estimated to be five kilograms, and still alive."
"Five-step snake?"
Uncle Qin put down the dustpan and looked Yuan Junyao up and down. Finally, his eyes fixed on the sack in Yuan Junyao's hand. He said doubtfully, "Let me see."
Their pharmacy collects snakes, and usually has a few fixed snake catchers. After all, not everyone can do this kind of thing.
Now that a little girl came to sell snakes, he was naturally surprised.
As he approached, he looked at Yuan Shisheng several times, thinking that it would be reasonable if this man was the one who caught him.
Yuan Junyao handed him the bag. He opened it and took a look. He said, "Yes, it's a five-step snake. It's quite big. The market price is 110 coins per catty. If you want to sell it, I'll weigh it."
Yuan Junyao nodded and said, "Sell it. You weigh it."
This snake weighs more than five kilograms and can be sold for more than five hundred coins.
Yuan Shisheng on the side was stunned. A snake could actually be sold for so much money. No wonder that snake head was so valuable.
But not everyone can catch this thing. Zhang Shetou had a finger cut off on his left hand. It was said that he was bitten by a snake and he chopped it off himself.
"It's a little over five pounds. How about I give you 560 coins?"
Uncle Qin showed the scale to Yuan Junyao.
Yuan Junyao didn't recognize this kind of scale, and had only seen it in history books, because modern scales are all high-tech electronic scales.
But Yuan Zhisheng knew him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Uncle Qin didn't look at him, but only stared at Yuan Junyao.
Yuan Junyao nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, boss."
Uncle Qin responded and turned back to the house and shouted, "Aqiang, take this guest to the accounting office to withdraw 560 coins."
"Master Haole."
A man in his twenties came out of the house and took Yuan Junyao and her daughter to the accounting office to withdraw half a tael of money, which was 500 wen. The other 60 copper coins were loose, but the people in the drug store gave her a small cloth package for the money.
Yuan Junyao was delighted and immediately said to Yuan Shisheng, "Let's go buy something delicious."
Yuan Shisheng nodded and whispered, "Don't tell your mother-in-law and the others. Keep it to yourself."
Yuan Junyao nodded, thinking that although this father was old-fashioned and irritable, he was also quite cute.
After leaving the pharmacy, Yuan Junyao shook the money in her hand and smiled at the children who were looking at her eagerly, "Come on, sister will treat you to some meat buns!"
"Yeah, time to eat meat buns!" the youngest Yuanbao shouted happily.
"Sister is really amazing. She made so much money by catching a big snake."
"Sister, are you really going to buy us meat buns?"
Yuan Junyao smiled and said, "Buy, buy them all."
Anyway, in the eyes of the Yuan family, she is considered mentally ill, so let her continue to be sick!
Yuan Shisheng's mouth twitched slightly. How much money would it cost to feed so many children? He pulled Yuan Junyao over and whispered, "Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you to save the money for yourself?"
Yuan Junyao grabbed a handful of copper coins from the cloth bag and stuffed them directly into the hands of this old-fashioned father.
"You can eat whatever you like."
Yuan Shisheng's face turned dark.
"If you keep messing around..."
Yuan Junyao ignored him and went to the bun stall to call her younger brothers and sisters.
