Earn money to support your family in ancient times

The village chief's family happened to be eating, and the village chief's daughter-in-law didn't look very well when she saw Tang Yuanlai, thinking he was here to ask for something again, but when she saw Tang Yuan take out the grilled fish, she immediately laughed.

"Hey, you say you, come here, what else do you bring!" The village chief's wife handed the fish to the eldest daughter-in-law next to her while talking, and the eldest daughter-in-law took it obediently, and hurried to the kitchen to get it Put on the plate.

The fish was still hot and ready to eat when served on the table. The village chief's eldest grandson smelled the aroma and kept shouting, "Grandma, I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish!"

A few adults also looked at the fish swallowing saliva, the fish skin was oily, and there was a burnt aroma of oil, it was delicious to look at!Although their family is richer than other families in the village, they can't eat fish every day. What's more, they are reluctant to use seasonings when cooking. They can't cook such delicious dishes!

The youngest son and grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady, heard the lifeblood calling, and the village chief's wife hurriedly pinched the mouth of the precious grandson.

The village chief was also greedy, but still sullenly asked Tang Yuan, "What's the matter?"

The eldest grandson has eaten other people's fish, and he sees that this young man is also a polite person, if there is no embarrassment, it is not impossible to agree to him.

Tang Yuan: "I would like to ask you for some baskets and dustpans."

Before the village head could answer, the village head's wife slapped her thigh, and said to the next man who was digging into the rice, "Zhuzi, go and get some back baskets and dustpans for someone, and get your newly made ones!"

Such a big fish weighs seven or eight catties!Enough for the whole family to taste it!It's oily on top and smells good, so it's a great deal to exchange some free baskets and dustpans!

The village head glared at the village head's wife, this old woman!He hasn't spoken yet!

Only then did Tang Yuan notice that the village chief's son was the man who took them to the wooden house. Seeing the village chief's unnatural expression, he hurriedly said to the village chief, "Thank you, village chief." The eldest son Zhuzi thanked him.

"You're welcome. It's all done by my own family. It's not worth anything." The village chief said while stroking his beard with a smile.

The eldest son of the village chief, Zhuzi, is a simple and honest person. He listened to his mother and gave Tang Yuan good baskets and dustpans.

Tang Yuan accepted the things and said that he would return the cleaned back basket to the village head, but of course the village head didn't want it, so he took it back graciously.

"Grandma! Grandma! I still want to eat fish tomorrow!" The village chief's eldest grandson ran into the village chief's wife's arms with his mouth full of greasy food, yelling. The fish on the table had only fish bones left.

The second daughter-in-law curled her lips when she saw this, and put a small piece of fish in her bowl into her five-year-old daughter's bowl.

Such a big fish, at least one-third of it went into this boy's stomach, and her niece picked up a chopstick. He thought the fish was so good. According to her, even with enough seasoning, it can be cooked without other people's skills. no.Besides, whoever is not busy in the family, who has time to fish, I don't know where to fish such a big fish.

The village head's wife also knew this, but the eldest grandson cried a lot, so she agreed: "Okay, okay, don't cry, grandma will make it for you tomorrow."

Tang Yuan didn't know what happened here. After he took the things back, he walked up the mountain before it was dark. There was no way. He was too short of money and had to take risks.

Fortunately, his risk was not in vain, and he found a Polygonum multiflorum that looked roughly like a human!

This Polygonum multiflorum grew under the bushes, and he accidentally stumbled and found it.

Polygonum multiflorum is a common medicinal material, which can soothe the nerves, nourish blood, and activate collaterals. It has many uses, and the dosage is naturally not small. The more human-like it is, the more precious it is.

The adult Polygonum multiflorum he found has a big palm. Although it is not magical enough to grow facial features, it can already be seen a rough outline of a human being, at least 50 years old.

The 50-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, no matter when, its price will not be low!

The adventure up the mountain was well worth it!Tang Yuan held back his joy, carefully dug out the Polygonum multiflorum, and searched carefully, but he never saw another plant.

However, he was not too disappointed. It is not easy to get such a long-aged Polygonum multiflorum, and he was pleasantly surprised to find one.

It was also his luck that this place was deep in the woods, and he walked in accidentally.

After getting this Polygonum multiflorum, Tang Yuan didn't want to take the risk of staying on the mountain anymore, and went back with the other herbs he picked.

Back in the wooden house, he carefully put away the Polygonum multiflorum, and had a good sleep.

The next day, Tang Yuan woke up in a good mood, even the soreness on his body could not weaken his good mood.

He washed up briefly, and ate two more boiled sweet potatoes with a wooden face. Now he can't taste the sweetness of sweet potatoes at all, and even feels a little nauseous. He can only comfort himself that after selling this Polygonum multiflorum, he will have money to improve his life .

He didn't chew a few times, but finished eating in a few mouthfuls, then put the Polygonum multiflorum wrapped in big leaves into his arms, carried an empty basket on his back, covered it with big leaves, and went out.

Walking on the road, Tang Yuan saw a somewhat familiar back in front of him. He walked a few steps quickly, only to realize that it was the pretty boy he had met before.

The young man was carrying a pannier. The pannier looked heavy, and the shoulder straps were tightly tightened. Meridians appeared on the hand of the young man holding the suspenders.

Tang Yuan strode forward a few steps, holding the bottom of the pannier with his hands, the weight on his hands surprised him.

When Su Nuo noticed it, he seemed to be startled, and turned sideways to avoid it, and only relaxed when he saw it was Tang Yuan.

"Thank you," he distanced himself from Tang Yuan slightly, thanked him in a low voice, and politely refused Tang Yuan's help, "I can do it myself."

Tang Yuan knew that a boy of this age always had a bit of extra stubborn self-esteem, but looking at the boy's thin shoulders, he couldn't bear it, "You are still small, this basket is too heavy, I see how much younger you are than me, You should call me brother, I..."

"You—you—" Before he finished speaking, Su Nuo puffed up his face and glared at him angrily. He blushed a lot, and looked at him vigilantly, and quickly distanced himself from him.

Tang Yuan didn't know why, and stared at Su Nuo blankly.

Su Nuo stared at him and said, "I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

"I...what's the matter with me?" Seeing the disgust on Su Nuo's face, Tang Yuan couldn't help frowning, "I just want to help you, so forget it if you don't want to."

Su Nuo sized him up after hearing the words, and seeing that he didn't seem to be fake, he eased his expression, pursed his lips and said, "Then what do you say I should call your brother, you are a man, I am a brother, you... You can easily be misunderstood."

Tang Yuan looked at Su Nuo in puzzlement: "... Is there any difference?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Nuo opened his eyes wide and looked at him in shock.

Then, in the next quarter of an hour, Tang Yuan was forced to refresh his world view.

It turns out that this is a world where men, women, and brothers coexist. The status of men and women is similar to the ancient times he knew before, while the status of brothers is lower than that of women, and there are fewer numbers than women. Ability, but fertility is weaker than women.

Brothers cannot take part in imperial examinations, nor can they marry wives. They are subject to the same restrictions as women, and because their fertility is weaker than women, most people are unwilling to marry a brother to be a king. It's hard.

However, these are far less shocking to Tang Yuan than "brothers can have children".

God knows how much restraint he used to prevent him from looking at Su Nuo's stomach!

Tang Yuanzu was silent for a quarter of an hour before he adjusted his expression and looked at Su Nuo. Thinking about what he said just now, it seemed that people would misunderstand, and this is the way to the town. There are always people coming and going, and Su Nuo refused. It's okay to be too close to him.

"That... sorry," Tang Yuan took two steps back, "I didn't think carefully, but I really didn't mean to bully you."

At this time, Su Nuo also understood the "ignorance" of the person in front of him, so he just shook his head: "It's fine if you didn't do it on purpose, but... thank you for your kindness."

A smile appeared on Tang Yuan's face when he heard the words: "I haven't had time to ask your name after seeing you for several times, my name is Tang Yuan, you—"

Thinking of all kinds of constraints in ancient times, Tang Yuan hurriedly stopped talking, and said in a deliberate manner: "Can you tell me your name, if not, forget it."

Seeing his appearance, Su Nuo burst out laughing with a crisp voice, "Of course, I'm not a brother of a rich family, so I don't have so many rules."

"My name is Su Nuo."

The atmosphere of the Yan Dynasty was open, even women and brothers from rich families could go out to play, but after all, there were more rules than ordinary families. If a so-called rich family treated the women and brothers in the family strictly according to those sour Confucian words To attract attention.

As for women and brothers from ordinary families, it is common for them to go out to work. As long as they don't interact too closely with men for no reason, there is nothing to be taboo about.

When he smiled like this, the atmosphere became better, and Tang Yuan felt at ease.

"What's so heavy in your pannier that you sell it in the town?" He raised his finger to Su Nuo's pannier from a distance that would not be misunderstood.

"It's filled with some herbs, I'm going to sell it in the town," Su Nuo replied, and looked at Tang Yuan's back basket, "What's inside you?"

"It's also a little herbal medicine." Only then did Tang Yuan understand why he had met Su Nuo several times. The way down the mountain to the village was the only way. Of course, they were easy to meet. A light flashed in his mind, and he looked at Su Nuo. Nuo Dao, "Do you know which pharmacy offers a more reasonable price?"

Su Nuo nodded: "I know, the price of the clinic I often go to is quite reasonable."

Tang Yuan didn't want to be lowered by others, so he said to Su Nuo after hearing this, "Then can I go with you?"

"Yes." This is not a difficult thing, Su Nuo is also aware of Tang Yuan's situation, so naturally he will not refuse, "Just follow me."

Tang Yuan followed Su Nuo all the way to the "Materia Medica Hall" when he arrived in the town, and he knew it was a medical clinic by the name, but this medical clinic was not as big as "Renxin Hall", and the flow of people was not as much as "Renxin Hall".

The guy inside seemed to be very familiar with Su Nuo, and he took the herbal medicine and settled the bill with Su Nuo in no time.

"Brother Tang, show Brother Chang Zhu the herbs."

Just now Tang Yuan observed the money that the guy gave Su Nuo, the price was indeed fair, when he heard what Su Nuo said, he stretched out his hand and took out the Polygonum multiflorum from his bosom.

As soon as he opened the leaves that wrapped the Polygonum multiflorum, the guy named Chang Zhu's eyes lit up, he snatched the Polygonum multiflorum from Tang Yuan's hand, and looked back and forth carefully.

Su Nuo also knew medicinal materials, knew the preciousness of this Polygonum multiflorum, his clear eyes widened in shock.

But he still reminded Changzhu: "Brother Changzhu, Brother Tang is still waiting. If you want to accept it, you can tell me a price."

Only then did Changzhu realize that his behavior was really impolite, he smiled awkwardly and embarrassedly at Tang Yuan, still clutching Polygonum multiflorum in his hand and refused to let go, and opened his other hand to Tang Yuan, staring at Tang Yuan's Eyes said: "How about 50 taels?"

Tang Yuan didn't know whether the price was fair or not, so he looked at Su Nuo out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he was not unusual, so he felt confident.

But as soon as he opened his mouth to agree, a person suddenly rushed in at the door, jumped in front of Changzhu, snatched Polygonum multiflorum, and raised his chin at Tang Yuan: "You sell it to me! How much he pays, I pay double!"

Good medicinal materials are hard to come by!

Chang Zhu was so angry that his face turned blue: "Uncle Qian, I have already made an agreement with this little brother! What do you mean!"

Tang Yuan glanced at the person following this person, and recognized that person as Renxintang's underwriter, and guessed the identity of this person, he should be the boss of Renxintang.

From the conversation between Changzhu and him, the owners of the two clinics should be brothers, but the relationship is not harmonious, but just by looking at the behavior of the two clinics, it is clear that the relationship between the two clinics cannot be harmonious.

Tang Yuan didn't bother to listen to their quarrel, so he took back the Polygonum multiflorum and handed it to Chang Zhu: "If there is no problem, I will pay the price you said."

Let’s not say that he won’t go back on his word if he has already promised others, let’s just say that Renxintang’s behavior is not very good at first glance. If he really repents on the spot, he will offend this thatched cottage, and it’s not easy to face the boy who kindly brought him here. Not to mention, it is unknown whether Renxintang will fulfill its promise, and it is really not worthwhile.

"Ah," Changzhu looked at the Polygonum multiflorum in front of him for a moment, then took it with a smile on his face, and said repeatedly, "This little brother is really trustworthy, don't worry, our thatched cottage is absolutely fair. If you sell herbal medicine, no matter what it is, you can bring it over, and we will accept it!"

The owner of Renxintang, Dr. Qian, stared at Tang Yuan so angrily that he blew his beard and stared, "You really don't know what's good! Our Renxintang is the largest medical center in Qingyang Town. It's just a small clinic like theirs. The 50 taels of silver It doesn’t matter whether they can get it or not!”

Chang Zhu was afraid that Tang Yuan would repent, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we have the money, and I'll get it for you right away!"

With that said, he hurried to the backyard, and came out holding a small cloth bag in a short while.

Tang Yuan accepted it, in a good mood, his eyes glanced at the guilty fellow at Renxintang, and he smiled at Doctor Qian, "Do you know why I didn't sell it to you?"

Just as he was leaving with his sleeves shaken, Doctor Qian paused, then turned around and stared at him: "Why?"

"Then you have to ask the guy behind you." Tang Yuan glanced at the guy who wanted to slip away.

Doctor Qian understood what had happened as soon as he thought about it. He also knew that this guy often did some things to lower the price of some farmers' herbs, but because he was his nephew from afar, he was sweet and talkative, so he turned a blind eye. Who would have thought that he would lose such precious medicinal materials because of this matter!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, he put his foot on the guy's butt, kicked the guy to the ground and screamed.

Angrily, he went up to make up for it again, and said bitterly: "You don't come tomorrow!"

The guy didn't expect to lose his good job like this, and he chased after him, but Dr. Qian was determined to let him go, and finally he had to leave in despair.
