Traveling through ancient times

Wild rabbits and pheasants taste fishy, ​​so most people don’t like to eat them and they are not very eye-catching. But there are those who love to eat wild animals and specifically look for these things!

However, when the living roe deer was placed there, with its two hind legs tied, lying on the ground, flapping its wings constantly, it attracted a lot of attention!

After a while, a man in his forties, wearing a grey gown and slightly plump, came over with a gleam in his eyes: "How much do you sell this roe deer for?"

Gu Wenzhi had never done business before. When he was in his hometown, he would deliver things directly to restaurants. He didn’t know how to start the conversation!

Gu Dalian said quickly: "Uncle, there is a guest on the road who wants to take him home. He asked me to wait for him for a while. However, if you want it, just give me a price. If it is suitable, I will give it to you!"

When Shopkeeper Zhao heard this, he burst out laughing: "This little girl is interesting. She wants to bid the highest price! I have worked in the restaurant for 20 years, and this is the first time I have met someone who is so good at dealing with things!"

He looked at the roe deer, and saw a hare and two pheasants beside it, and said:

"Your roe deer is at most 60 jin. It's worthless if it's dead. I'll give you liang for this one alive. The wild rabbit and pheasant next to it will be wen. Come with me and send it to Fuman Restaurant now!"

Gu Dalian smiled and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, I see you are not stingy. In a word, thirty-two taels. Let my brother send it to you now!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was delighted when he heard this. He had never heard of a woman bargaining like this before: "Okay, it's settled. Boy, come with me!"

Gu Wenzhi casually took out thirty-two taels and said, "Boss, can you give me copper coins for these two taels?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Okay, take it first, and I'll change it for you when we get back to the restaurant!"

Gu Wenzhi put the prey into the basket again, picked up Gu Lun, and left with Shopkeeper Zhao! They agreed to meet outside the restaurant later!

At this time, Xiao Fangfang came over with a basket and said, "Come on, I'll take the three of you to the pharmacy!"

After a while, they saw a Renxin Medical Clinic. It was quite large and one could not see inside from the outside. When there were no people in and out, Xiao Fangfang took them directly to another clinic and lowered her voice slightly:

"This is a benevolent clinic, but it's not benevolent at all. It only treats the rich and doesn't even look at the poor!"

"But since you guys sell medicinal herbs, it should be fine. Why don't you try it?"

Gu Dalian waved her hand and said, "Since Auntie says it's unjust, there's no need to try. We trust Auntie!"

Gu Dalian is disgusted by such businessmen who look down on others from the bottom of her heart!

Three or four shops away is another medical clinic. Its facade is very simple and has a sign that reads "Medical Clinic for the People"!

Wow, this is an interesting name!

Just as she was thinking, Xiao Fangfang said, "This doctor here charges cheaply. For some really poor families, Doctor Zheng only charges for the medicine. This is a truly good person!"

The door curtain of the clinic was half lifted. A few people bent over and went in. They saw a handsome pharmacist of about twelve or thirteen years old at the counter, dispensing medicine according to the prescription!

There was a table at the back of the house, and an energetic old man was sitting behind it, instructing the patient:

"You must eat on time these days, avoid spicy food, and get plenty of rest!"

The patient thanked him repeatedly and went to the counter to wait to pay and get his medicine!

The old man looked up and asked, "Which one of you needs medical attention?"

Gu Dalian hurried forward and said, "Grandpa, I have some medicinal herbs here. Would you like to take them?"

Pan Hongxing looked at the pink and tender girl of about twelve or thirteen years old in front of him. She was wearing tattered clothes but was not afraid. There were stars in her eyes and she had an extraordinary demeanor. He couldn't help but feel a liking for her!

He said calmly, "Girl, take out the herbs first. I'll take a look. If they work, you can keep them!"

After saying that, he stood up first and walked towards the back hall. A few people quickly followed him. At the back was a spacious yard where a lot of medicinal herbs were drying in the sun!

Sister Gu Dalian put down the backpack and let Pan Hongxing look through it. They saw the old man flipping through the pages faster and faster, his face full of excitement. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly!

Pan Hongxing had never expected that in his entire life, this was the first time he had seen so many good medicinal herbs at once. His hands were shaking as he put the herbs in. He took out a piece of Panax notoginseng and said,

"Where did you find this Tian Qi? It's really top-notch! And this Lin Lan,... this... this... where did you find it?"

Gu Dalian blinked her eyes and said, "Grandpa, do you think these herbs will work?"

Pan Hongxing realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly straightened his expression and said:

"Okay, okay, everyone stay, I'll go get the silver!"

He got up and ran into his bedroom, took the banknote in his hand and ran out!

He called the medicine boy in front: "Huangqi, come in and weigh the herbs!"

Huang Qi came in and classified the herbs one by one. There were several kilograms each of Codonopsis pilosula, honeysuckle, Gastrodia elata, Achyranthes bidentata, and Cassia seed. Lin Lan had 15 kilograms of Dendrobium, a total of 379 kilograms!

Pan Hongxing said, "Little girl, other medicinal herbs are not expensive, I'll give you two taels of silver. This top-quality linlan is six hundred coins per catty, so fifteen catties is nine taels of silver!"

He pointed at Sanqi and said, "Sanqi has four heads. It looks like it is more than ten years old. I will take advantage of you and give you ten taels of silver per catty, a total of nine catties, ninety taels of silver!"

He stroked his beard and said, "One hundred and one taels in total!"

He gave Gu Dalian a silver note of 100 taels and ten strings of copper coins, each worth wen!

Then, smiling like a wolf grandmother, she said, "Little girl, if you have any medicinal herbs in the future, please send them to Grandpa. I won't let you suffer any loss!"

Gu Dalian took the banknote with a smile, put it in her pockets with both hands, and actually put it into the space room 601, and threw ten strings of copper coins into the backpack, which made Xiao Fangfang stunned:

This little girl is so brave. She threw such a huge sum of money, just one or two taels of silver, into the basket. Oh, my darling, I'm so scared!

Gu Dalian didn't know Xiao Fangfang's little thoughts, and said to the old doctor with a smile:

"Grandpa, don't worry. Aunt Xiao said that the lady of your clinic has good character. I will choose your family. Whenever I have good medicinal materials in the future, I will send them here!"

As he said that, he carried the basket on his back, pushed the stunned Xiao Fangfang, and followed Gu Xiaolian out of the clinic!

The clinic was not far from the Fuman Restaurant. Gu Wenzhi was already waiting outside. When he saw the two sisters, he came over holding Gu Lun!

"Aunt, come on, I'll treat you to a meal!" Gu Dalian didn't say anything and pulled Xiao Fangfang to the wonton shop next door!

She ordered five wontons and asked for a small bowl. She scooped half a bowl for Gu Lun to eat slowly. Xiao Fangfang wanted to refuse, but Gu Dalian pushed the wontons in front of her:

"Auntie, please eat quickly. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to find such a good clinic selling medicinal herbs. This bowl of wontons is a thank you gift to you!"

Xiao Fangfang smiled and stopped being polite!

After eating and drinking their fill, they started shopping!

I went to the grain and oil store and bought twenty kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of white flour, twenty kilograms of brown rice and flour, some oil, salt and various seasonings. I then went to the grocery store and bought ten coarse porcelain bowls, a wooden spoon, a wooden shovel, and an iron pot!

Then I went to the clothing store and bought two sets of cotton underwear for each person, two sets of outerwear for each person to change into, and of course two sets of Luo Feimo, and also bought a few pieces of cloth! I also bought some pens, ink, paper, and inkstone!

The backpacks of several people were full, costing more than ten taels. Xiao Fangfang felt a pang in her heart when she saw it.

My God, these kids can both earn money and spend it. They are so extravagant, it's really scary!

When they arrived at the place, the ox cart would still take a while. Gu Dalian said she wanted to buy some bedding, took out the things in the basket, and without waiting for anyone to answer, she ran away with the basket on her back!

He ran to a corner, saw that there was no one around, took out the thick bedding in the space and put it into the basket, then slowly turned back!

The ox cart had just arrived and everyone was putting their shopping on the cart. Fu Yingzi and Qin Ruyi saw that the siblings had bought so many things, and their eyes were filled with jealousy:

"Oh, are you stealing or robbing people? How can you buy so many things with just a few wild animals?"

Xiao Fangfang got angry when she heard this:

"It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory. Their medicinal herbs are more valuable than wild animals. I followed them the whole time, so you can't talk nonsense!"
