When Zhao Zhengze came to wake him up in the morning, Zhang Xiaoliu was still in a deep sleep.After finally taking out the determination to get up early to review during the college entrance examination, I got up, and when I saw the darkness outside, I wanted to fall down and groan.

After dawdling for a quarter of an hour, when he finally got up, Zhao Zhengze had soaked yesterday's leftovers in boiling water and was waiting for him.He didn't dare to delay any longer, the two of them had a makeshift breakfast, wrapped two pancakes in oiled paper, and quietly went out the door with a dustpan.Zhang Xiaoliu explained to Xiaomai in detail yesterday, and baked five or six pancakes for him to eat with Xiaosong.If someone comes to the house, just say that they went out and don't know where they went, and they will come back later.

He looked up at the moon above his head, it was probably the end of Yin time.The journey of the two of them must not be fast, and it will take at least an hour and a half to reach the town, which is still more than the agreed time.Of course, he rushed out early in the morning not only to catch up with time, but more importantly, he was worried that there would be many people walking around in the village when he went out later. It was inevitable that some people would be curious about the purpose of the two children's rush.If someone discovers the Ganoderma lucidum, I'm afraid that innocent troubles will happen again.

Fortunately, the road is not difficult to identify. After leaving the village, there is only a road about ten feet wide leading to the town.There are also many villages along the way, all of which go to the town from this road, which is equivalent to the modern county road or township road.

Zhang Xiaoliu and Zhao Zhengze buried their heads in their journey when they left the house. At the beginning, they could still hear dogs barking and chickens crowing. Gradually, they walked farther and farther away, and when they reached a remote area, the surroundings became very quiet.But because the two of them talked from time to time, they didn't feel so scared anymore.

As the weather gets warmer, the days here are getting longer and the dawn is getting earlier.By the time Zhang Xiaoliu and Zhao Zhengze had driven about halfway, the sky was already dawning.The village here is relatively close to the town, and you can see many brothers carrying vegetables on their way, and there are also butchers who put the slaughtered pigs on a wheelbarrow and push them to the town to sell.They were mixed in the rushing crowd, although they were a little younger, they were not very eye-catching.

Zhang Xiaoliu considered that he had plenty of time and was not in a hurry, so he stopped four times on the way.Even so, he also felt that his legs had become numb.In the past, after the summer harvest, he also helped his father push rice or other things to the street to sell, but it only took half an hour to get there, and the distance here is far beyond comparison.It seems that it is extremely inconvenient to go in and out of Xiaba Village with only two legs.

But in any case, such a long road has been walked step by step with two legs, and it is finally reached.When Zhang Xiaoliu saw the intersection where he gathered yesterday from a distance, he almost wept with joy.

"What time is it now?" Zhang Xiaoliu hadn't learned to look at light and shadow and estimate the time based on experience, so he had to ask Zhao Zhengze for help.

"Probably in the middle of the day." Zhao Zhengze stopped with him and switched the burden to one shoulder.

"Walking for so long? Didn't we start at Yinshi?" Zhang Xiaoliu was taken aback. The walking time was longer than he estimated.

"It's not that early. We delayed for some time, and it was already Maoshi when we went out." Zhao Zhengze said honestly.

"Forget it, there is still time anyway. Let's go, let's sell the things first." Just after the market day yesterday, there were obviously fewer people on the street today, so Zhang Xiaoliu led him towards the pharmacy.

Zhao Zhengze followed behind him silently, looking at the dustpans on both sides.He had never seen a brother at his age who could make up his mind about everything.He dared to take him up the mountain alone, dared to walk to the market early in the morning, and handled everything in an orderly manner.This made him feel a little happy in his heart, it seemed that being rejected by his uncle this time, coming to his side was also a very good thing.

Zhang Xiaoliu naturally didn't know how this silent child looked up to him at this time, but he just told him what he observed yesterday, including the approximate location of the store, where to buy vegetables and food, and where to find a full range of groceries. Shop, very detailed.If there is no means of transportation, he himself does not want to come to Jishang often.If Ah Zheng is smarter, he can help him a lot in the future.After all, in terms of his current age, Zhao Zhengze was older than him, so it was normal for him to do something in his early years.

In this way, the walking was slow, and it took the two of them a full three quarters of an hour to walk the distance that should have taken a quarter of an hour.What surprised Zhang Xiaoliu even more was that he saw from a distance that the man from yesterday was already waiting there.

"Uncle, you came so early?" Zhang Xiaoliu ran up to greet him.

When the man saw him, his frowning brows relaxed.No wonder the elder brother at home urged him to go out early, only saying that the farmer was on the road early, and he would definitely arrive earlier than the time they agreed.

"My house is near here. I was worried that my little brother would come early, so I came out to have a look." The man explained a little, then glanced at Zhang Xiaoliu, who was empty-handed: "Where's Ganoderma lucidum?"

Zhang Xiaoliu pulled Zhao Zhengze for a look, saw that there were still people passing by on the street from time to time, worried that the Ganoderma lucidum that he took out was too eye-catching, looked around before whispering: "Is it okay to show you here, over there?" It refers to the back of a house on the street, which is a very quiet alley.

Seeing this, the man nodded in agreement.

When the three came to the alley, Zhang Xiaoliu carefully removed the covering from the dustpan to reveal the Ganoderma lucidum covering the entire dustpan, the man was obviously taken aback.

"Where did you dig such a big Ganoderma lucidum?"

Zhang Xiaoliu remained silent, and the man seemed to realize that it was not appropriate for him to ask this question, so he hurriedly said, "I'm just speaking quickly, and I don't want to ask. I see that the color of this ganoderma lucidum is very good. I'm so happy. Now we Just go to the doctor and ask, if it is more than a hundred years old, I will definitely pay you according to the price. Even if it is less than a hundred years old, I will buy it, but the price may be slightly different."

He was also happy to see Liexin, and his attitude became more relaxed after seeing the Ganoderma lucidum.The doctor said that Ganoderma lucidum with more than one hundred years old has the best medicinal properties, and black Ganoderma lucidum is the top grade among them.Regardless of whether this ganoderma is a hundred years old or not, its appearance is very good.

"Since Uncle said so, you should go and ask first, we will wait for you here." Seeing that he really needed Ganoderma lucidum, Zhang Xiaoliu seemed to be a kind person, and the prescription was only a few meters away, so he suddenly said.

"Aren't you going with me?" The man asked in surprise.

"Since Uncle has been waiting here for a long time, I naturally believe in Uncle's sincerity in buying Ganoderma lucidum. You should go and ask first. If the year is good, we can talk about the money." If two children were seen holding this large Ganoderma lucidum, Will always attract thoughtful ideas.Zhang Xiaoliu didn't want to cause trouble before he got it.

The man thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand his scruples, and said with a smile: "You little brother is really clever, no matter what, I'll ask the doctor to take a look, and I'll come here to see you later." He picked up the Ganoderma lucidum easily with one hand, and strode out.

In the alley, two people stared at his figure with four eyes.

After about a quarter of an hour, I saw him come out empty-handed again.

"How about it, uncle, the Ganoderma lucidum should be old enough?" Although he was quite confident, Zhang Xiaoliu was still a little anxious after waiting like this.

"My brother is right. Dr. Li said that this Ganoderma lucidum is indeed more than 100 years old, and he wants to buy half of it from me and sell it in the pharmacy!" The man looked very happy, showing joy.

"That's good. Since the ganoderma is good, it must be very useful for uncle."

"Well, I'll buy it with you according to the agreed price in the pharmacy, five taels of silver per catty. Just now I saw that you didn't have permission to weigh anything, so I weighed it in the pharmacy, and it was five catties. You weigh it at home. ever?"

"No, since the uncle weighed it, that's it."

"Of course I won't lie to you. Dr. Li said that the Ganoderma lucidum grows very well, and I won't lose you. How about making up the price to 30 taels?" He said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. Inside the bag, there are three neat ingots of ingots, each weighing twelve taels.

"Thank you so much, uncle!" Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly took it, thanking him.This is a clear transaction, the other party can add some money for the sake of Ganoderma lucidum, but at least it shows that he is not the kind of person who does not take money away.

"Haha, if there are such good things in the future, you can also sell them to me. You can't sell them at such a good price in the pharmacy. My surname is Qi, and I opened the 'Qijia Tea Shop' in front of you. You can find me there." The man said loudly.

"Okay, if we meet again in the future, I will definitely look for you." Zhang Xiaoliu also said with a smile.He knew that the price of Ganoderma lucidum would be lowered when it was sold in the pharmacy, but if Boss Qi bought it in such a good condition from the pharmacy, he might not pay more than this price.Moreover, the price of Ganoderma lucidum usually increases every five or ten years. This Ganoderma lucidum must be far beyond the 100 years mentioned before, so it is so refreshing.

But he can't care about much at this time, at least with these 30 taels of silver, he has already jumped from an absolute poor to an upstart.

The two said goodbye immediately, Zhang Xiaoliu stared at him and entered the pharmacy again, then turned around excitedly and embraced Zhao Zhengze.He was just expressing his excitement, but he didn't notice that Zhao Zhengze made a big blush.

After calming down, Zhang Xiaoliu took out three ingots of silver, put one ingot on Zhao Zhengze's body, stuffed one in his arms, and put the other in his waist pocket, ready to buy something later.

"Is this... silver?" Zhao Zhengze asked stammeringly, having grown so big that he had never touched a few copper plates, let alone shiny silver ingots of real value.

"Put it away first, don't let anyone see it. Let's go shopping now, and then go back." Zhang Xiaoliu gave him a "shh", and told him in a low voice.Although he has never seen the silver here, but judging from its color and weight, there should be nothing wrong with it.And the principle of not revealing money is true no matter where you go.
