I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

When they arrived at the county seat, the two went straight to the pharmacy first.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is an old man with white hair. Although the shop is not big, it is very neat and elegant. The whole shop is filled with a strong fragrance of medicine.

Mo Ruyue took off the bamboo basket on his back, pointed to the whole basket of herbs and said to the shopkeeper: Master, look at these herbs, but they are all good wild herbs, and I have also done a simple treatment. , do you accept it here?

The shopkeeper leaned over from behind the high table and looked down, motioning her to take out the herbs in it one by one, Baiji, Chonglou, Codonopsis, Astragalus, Licorice...

Many of them are the most common herbs for clearing away heat and detoxification, reducing swelling and stasis, and of course they are also mixed with relatively expensive medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum chinensis, and black wolfberry.

And as Mo Ruyue said, almost all the medicines have undergone a simple preliminary treatment, which can better exert the medicinal properties and save the time for the drug users to process the medicinal materials.

It seems that this lady is a knowledgeable person. If it is picked like that and sent, the price will naturally be lower.

As soon as the so-called expert makes a move, he will know if there is any. Mo Ruyue's move makes the shopkeeper put out his thoughts of being too cruel. After all, people who know how to deal with medicinal materials also know that treatment and no treatment are two kinds of price, and they can't fool them at all.

The shopkeeper, you said, how about these medicinal materials, if you don't accept them here, I can go to the next shop.

Mo Ruyue didn't want to waste time on this matter. The main purpose of her entering the city this time was to focus on the restaurant. She wanted to ask about the price of buying game, and at the same time, she also established a relatively stable and long-term cooperative relationship.

The shopkeeper did not expect that Mo Ruyue would be so straightforward, and all the words he wanted to say later were blocked in his mouth.

He has been in the pharmacy for decades, and he can tell at a glance what herbs are good or bad.

The herbs that Mo Ruyue brought were indeed wild in the mountains, especially one of the ginsengs was almost ten years old. Coupled with the proper handling, the quality and value of this basket of medicines were indeed not low.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Mo Ruyue began to put the herbs on the counter into the basket, and was about to greet Dabao and leave together.

Wait, why is this lady in such a hurry!

The shopkeeper was in a trance for a moment, when he saw Mo Ruyue starting to pack up, and hurriedly stopped her.

So do you want to accept my herbs?

Mo Ruyue asked the last sentence again, and she made up her mind that if he spoke again in a roundabout way, she would immediately pack up her things and turn around and leave.

You have to pay for it, and the price is easy to negotiate. You lady is in a hurry.

The shopkeeper started to report the name and price of the herbal medicine, and dialed the abacus beads. After a while, he stopped and gave her a number.

Well, add all the medicinal materials together, how about I give you five taels of silver?

When Mo Ruyue was dialing the abacus at the shopkeeper just now, she had already made a quick calculation in her heart. Although the shopkeeper had erased a little bit, it was almost the same, and she didn't bother to count the dozen or so coins.

Okay, then according to what the shopkeeper said, five taels.

The shopkeeper saw that Mo Ruyue's words were neat and tidy, so he stopped dragging and took out five taels of silver from the cash drawer and handed it to her. By the way, he also accepted the basket of herbs.

The shopkeeper, please help me exchange these five taels of silver for loose silver and copper coins, otherwise it will be really inconvenient to spend.

Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to receive the money. In this county, one tael of silver is a large amount, let alone five taels. Ordinary shops simply can't find such a large amount.

Okay, then I'll change it for you.

The shopkeeper took back five taels of silver, and then handed over two strings of copper coins and three ingots of one tael of silver.

Mo Ruyue stuffed the three ingots of silver into the purse and threw them directly to Dabao, while she took the two strings of copper coins into her arms, and then left the pharmacy.

why?

Suddenly, Dabao's voice came from behind, Mo Ruyue stopped and turned to look at him puzzled, Why?

Dabao touched the purse in his arms and looked at her with complicated eyes: If you have money, you will be able to get rid of our burdens. You used to want us all to die, but you are so far away, why are you staying now?

This question has been in Dabao's heart for a long time, and it was not until today that he finally asked it out.

Why are there so many? If you think the money is hot, I will keep it for you. Mo Ruyue said lightly.

She couldn't tell him that without her stepmother, their little radishes would grow crooked into big villains.

Dabao didn't get the answer he wanted, and he didn't insist on asking, but silently followed Mo Ruyue's side, his arms protecting his chest consciously or unintentionally.

The county seat is not big, but there are several restaurants, except that the scale and decoration of the two restaurants are not bad, and the rest are just small inns with restaurant signs.

The two restaurants stand opposite each other on both sides of the main road. Because they are similar in size and style, these two restaurants have been secretly competing for customer sources. In recent years, they have won and lost each other.

When Mo Ruyue brought Dabao over, he walked on the right side of the road, so he naturally chose the restaurant called Tianfulou on the right.

Just as the guy came over to say hello, Mo Ruyue said straight to the point: This little brother, we are here to sell game. I don't know if you will accept it here. If you do, what is the price?

When the guy saw that this was not a customer who came to consume, his enthusiasm faded by half, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He looked at the mother and son up and down, and didn't believe that the two of them could come up with anything good, so he said perfunctorily: Of course, we will take it, but we don't take everything. You have some game. Take it out and show it to us first, and then we can price it.

This time, Dabao didn't need Mo Ruyue's reminder, he put down the bamboo basket behind him, and took out the rabbit and pheasant from it. In addition, there were several non-toxic grass snakes and a fox-like shape, but A little beast with no name.

Those hares were extremely fat. Except for the injury to their eyes, their fur was not damaged in the slightest. Originally, Mo Ruyue planned to peel off the fur and keep it for the babies to make boots and gloves. When it runs out, it will not be sold.

You can get it with just such a little thing?

The man's chin was raised higher, almost looking at people through his nostrils.

Forget it, it's not easy for your mother and son to get such a little thing, let alone take it all the way to the city to sell it, that is, if you meet a kind person like me, just accept it. I think Look, a hare is worth 20 cents, but that chicken is a lot less, just 15 cents.

Snakes can be a little more expensive, but forty cents a piece can't be more. As for the unnamed thing, no one knows what it is, or whether it can be eaten or not. What if it is poisonous, so the price It won't be high, it's forty wen.

After he finished speaking, he also put on an expression of kindness and retribution, as if waiting for Mo Ruyue's mother and son to thank him.
