The Petite Wife of the First Family

   Chapter 5 Selling ginseng and meeting good people

  The original owner often came to the town to sell herbs, so Xu Zhizhi remembered the way in the town.

  Xu Zhizhi walked around the town and found that compared to the luxurious picture in the TV series, it is one in the sky and the other on the ground.

  This town looks a bit shabby, and there are people everywhere wearing patched and patched clothes and carrying loads of people in a hurry.

   Turning to the main street, he saw a man in a long gown and a woman in a skirt. Xu Zhizhi walked forward and saw the largest pharmacy in town, Kang Ning Tang.

  Xu Zhizhi went straight in!

   It is said that Shangguan Zhuoping, the owner of the Kangningtang pharmacy and a doctor, is the most famous doctor in the town and was once a genius doctor.

  In normal times, the original owner would not come to such a large pharmacy, but Xu Zhizhi was worried that the ginseng shop would not be able to offer a high price. Seeing a middle-aged doctor seeing a doctor and three little medicine boys dispensing medicine, she looked very busy.

   "Girl, are you going to see a doctor or get medicine." A fourteen or five-year-old medicine boy at the door asked Xu Zhizhi.

   "I don't see a doctor or prescribe medicine, I'll sell medicine." Xu Zhizhi said directly.

   "We won't accept general herbs, unless they are of the highest quality..." The teenager saw that Xu Zhizhi was wearing white and old clothes with a few patches, which was obviously a village girl from a nearby village.

   Make it clear to her first, so as not to waste time.

  I saw Xu Zhizhi took out an old hand towel from the rucksack, and opened a piece of ginseng inside.

   "This is ginseng!" The boy exclaimed, causing all the doctors in the clinic to look over.

   "I have to ask the doctor Shangguan to come and take a look..." The young man had never seen such ginseng before, and some couldn't make up his mind.

   "What are you making a fuss about, it's not just ginseng, I really don't know!" An old man came out of the room and gave the young man a dissatisfied look.

  Xu Zhizhi looked up and saw that the person who came out could not tell his specific age, and the wrinkles on his face were deeper and deeper, perfectly embedded in his face.

   "Master, take a look..." The boy didn't finish his words.

  The old man walked in and took a look, his eyes widened.

He has seen    ginseng a lot, but such a thousand-year-old ginseng is really rare.

   Xu Zhizhi let the doctor see that artificially planted ginseng had long been rotten in her original world.

  It was still very expensive in ancient times!

   "Girl, my name is Shangguan Zhuoyun, I'm the shopkeeper here, please come in and talk."

   Doctor Shangguan tried his best to take his eyes away from the ginseng.

  The two entered the room to cut off everyone's sight, and the boy poured a glass of water for his master.

   Then he stood beside him and didn't move, under the stares of Doctor Shangguan, he reluctantly poured a cup of tea for Xu Zhizhi.

  Doctor Shangguan took the ginseng on the table and was so excited that he left the halazia.

   "I don't know where the girl got this ginseng from."

   He has no other hobbies in his life, just good medicinal herbs.

  I didn’t expect to see such top-quality ginseng in this remote town.

   Xu Zhizhi was not afraid that he would see it, but he would not answer either.

   If it is said that the back mountain was dug! It's okay to deceive children, but to deceive this shrewd old man, stop teasing.

   "Doctor Shangguan said whether to accept it or not, how much?"

   Doctor Shangguan raised a finger.

   "One hundred taels?" Xu Zhizhi frowned, the price was a bit low.

   "Damn one hundred taels, one thousand taels." Doctor Shangguan glared at her, like this kind of superlative, it seems like a thousand years, one thousand taels is too low for him.

   "To tell you the truth, old man, you can get this thing in Los Angeles and sell it for five thousand taels, but it's a pity..."

   Xu Zhizhi's eyes widened after hearing the old man's words, and she also had some good feelings towards Doctor Shangguan, and the price she gave was much more than she expected.

   "What a pity?"

   "Unfortunately, I can't afford the old man!"

   "I'll sell it to you for one thousand taels." Xu Zhizhi was very straightforward. She was in urgent need of money, and it was impossible for her to go to Luoyang.

   "I don't even have one thousand taels!"

  Xu Zhizhi "…"

   She complained silently: Then you won't say less!

   "Then how much can you give?" Xu Zhizhi took a deep breath, feeling that the old man was teasing her.

   "Six hundred taels, that's all my net worth combined, how about I write an IOU and owe you four hundred taels?" The old man Shangguan licked his face and said.

   "Okay, write me an IOU for the rest."

   I’m afraid I won’t even have six hundred taels if I sell it to others!

   "Alright, alright, Sun Hao hurry up and get the money." Shangguan doctor hurriedly instructed the young man just now.

  The young man was hesitant to say anything, but in the end he took five hundred silver bills, one fifty tael silver ingot, and a pile of broken silver on the table with a dark face.

   Xu Zhizhi was very happy to accept it, it was much more convenient. Put the broken silver in the pocket, and the rest in the space.

   I thanked me happily and went to buy vegetables, meat and rice….

   "Master, you're just a village girl, give me a hundred taels, why tell the truth!" the boy said dissatisfiedly.

   "Do you think a village girl can come up with such a high-quality thousand-year-old ginseng? Sun Hao! You are not good at seeing a doctor, and you are not good at seeing people, so learn it slowly!"

  The boy listened to the master and went out to work.

   Besides, Xu Zhizhi had the money and bought all the things he needed, most of which were put in the space, put a little meat, a little rice and flour on the back, and rode in the ox cart.

   When he got off the ox cart, he saw two younger brothers waiting by the side of the road. When he saw her, he ran over. Xu Daniu took her rucksack.

   The younger brother took her hand and asked her what she bought. Xu Zhizhi told them that they had meat, rice, and flour, and walked all the way back while talking.

   It was 5pm when we got home, and we were going to prepare dinner.

   Xu Zhizhi took it out, and the two brothers put it away in the same way. In the end, there was a packet of cakes left on the table. The two brothers drooled but didn’t eat it, so Xu Zhizhi took it away and shared it with the two brothers.

   She cooked by herself. First, she cut the fat and boiled the oil. Today, she bought rapeseed oil, but it was too heavy, so she put it in the space, and it was not easy to take it out.

  Xu Xiaowu took the initiative to eat the cakes and came to light the fire.

  Xu Zhizhi washed the pot, put some water, and put the fat in the pot. When Xu Daniu just came in and saw it, he asked in confusion, "Sister, what are you doing with the water when you boil the oil?"

   "It will be more fragrant when it is boiled in water," Xu Zhizhi said earnestly.

   Because she doesn't know how to explain it, it's just her usual experience.

   It didn't take long for the fragrant oil residue to come out, and I called Xiaowuhuo to temporarily reduce it.

  Xu Zhizhi found a porcelain jar, put the oil residue into a bowl, and then put the oil into the porcelain jar.

   gave Xu Daniu the bowl with the oil residue, and put a piece into Xiaowu's mouth, the little guy squinted his eyes when he ate it. Enjoyed it.

  Xu Daniu also squeezed a piece and put it in Xu Zhizhi's mouth and said, "Sister, you eat first."

   Looking at her sensible younger brother, Xu Zhizhi thought to herself, she must find a way to make more money, make the family a little better, and read to her two younger brothers.
