Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 396: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (1)

Passing by a grocery store, Dacai went in and bought 50 kilograms of coarse salt. This was quite expensive, costing wen per kilogram, which cost him a copper coin.

Shuangshuang also bought twenty kilograms. Although there was some salt in the space, it was all coarse salt, which was different from the one in the space.

She planned to come over and buy another one weighing about 100 pounds to put in the space when she was carrying the person on her back. After all, this thing was a scarce commodity during wartime.

The brothers bought everything they wanted and each of them left six steamed buns in their backpacks.

All the others were placed in the backpack of wealth, and then the water buckets of the brothers were placed there.

He said to them, "You guys should go back quickly while it's still early.

Now we can only travel overnight, so be careful on the road."

"But we came here specifically to accompany our cousin to take the exam."

Caiyun doesn't want to leave. He finally got out of the mountain. When he goes back, he will definitely not be the one to come out next time.

"Your cousin has already entered the examination hall, what's the point of keeping him company here?

Be obedient and go back early to tell your grandparents that the shopkeeper wants 50 chickens.

What I mean is that it would be best if all the chickens and bacon at home could be sent to my house.

I'll sell it to you when the time comes. After all, it's not easy to come out here."

Dacai lowered his head and thought about it, and it was indeed like that, so he listened to his aunt and didn't say anything, and they all hurried home quickly.

After the others left, Shuangshuang still wanted to go to the pharmacy to ask if they accepted medicinal materials. Anyway, she had the space, and picking herbs here was much more convenient than picking them by hand.

Of course, this is just a starting point and it won’t last long.

Asked Xiaojuzi, "Can you help me find out which pharmacy owner nearby is more reliable?"

"It's Chen's Pharmacy, just around the corner in front of you."

I took Bonnie around a corner and saw a pharmacy called Chen Ji Pharmacy. I walked straight in.

Because the examination hall was opening today, many people went there to watch the excitement, and the pharmacy was much quieter than before.

The young doctor inside was sitting behind the counter, holding a medical book and muttering to himself.

When he saw Shuangshuang come in, he quickly closed the medical book, stood up and asked.

"Excuse me, guest, do you need anything?"

"I came here to ask, do you accept medicinal herbs?"

"Will you accept the medicinal herbs?

I'm going to ask the shopkeeper about this."

Then he lifted the curtain leading to the back and yelled inside.

"Boss, someone's looking for you!"

Soon a plump middle-aged man dressed very elegantly came out.

As soon as he came out, he put on a smile and asked, "Excuse me, is this guest looking for me?"

"Yes, sir, I'm mainly here to ask, do you accept medicinal herbs?"

“That depends on what kind of herbs it is.

For example, honeysuckle, bupleurum, and Notoginseng. Do you know these? "

They both nodded.

"That's good. We charge two cents per pound for honeysuckle without processing, and fifteen cents per pound for processed honeysuckle.

Bupleurum is a little more expensive. If it is not processed, it costs 5 coins per catty. If it is processed, it costs 30 coins per catty.

If you have any, you can send it to us.

Rest assured, the price is absolutely fair.

If you don't believe me, go to the county town and ask around, and see if anyone else offers a higher price than mine."

"Okay, the honeysuckle season is coming soon. I'll pick some for you to see."

"Ok, Ok."

The mother and daughter left the pharmacy and returned to the entrance of the examination hall. They saw that it was only noon, so it was still early!

"Mom, how about we go find a teahouse and wait?"

However, after the mother and daughter looked around, they found that everywhere was occupied.

In the end, I could only follow the crowd and come to the eaves of some shops. Regardless of whether they were dirty or not, I sat on the steps and waited silently.

These stores generally do not drive away the parents of these candidates. Who knows whether their children will have a bright future?

Therefore, those who want to make good connections will serve them a bowl of tea.

It was not until the end of noon, around 1:00, that Bao Ni pulled Shuang Shuang's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Oh, I'm hungry. Quickly grab a steamed bun to fill your stomach."

It just so happened that Shuangshuang also felt a little hungry, so the mother and daughter each took two steamed buns and started to eat them with the water in the bamboo tube.

No one would laugh at them. After all, most of the people sitting here came from poor families.

Some of them were particular, such as Shuangshuang's family, who also brought some food.

There are also those who have not made any preparation at all and can only bear it.

Finally, there were two steamed buns left, and Shuangshuang asked Baoni, "Boni, are you full? Do you want another one?"

Bonnie shook her head, "Leave these two for my brother."

Shuangshuang didn't try to persuade her, but just put the lotus leaves into the backpack.

You can take these lotus leaves home, wash them and use them next time.

Everything has to be wrapped in oil paper, how can there be so much?

It was not until the sun was setting that another official came out and rang the gong. This time it was not to drive away the crowd, but to send a signal to everyone that the candidates were about to come out and parents could come to pick them up.

At this time, all the parents were praying silently in their hearts, hoping that their children would pass this time so that they would not have to take the next few exams.

This was only the first exam, so the children looked normal when they came out.

Everyone outside was anxiously looking at the entrance of the examination hall, hoping that the child coming out would be one of their own.

When Bonnie suddenly saw her brother, she jumped for joy.

"Brother, mother and I are here."

The clear voice was cheerful and high-pitched. Even from such a distance, Xu Zhexing could hear his sister's voice.

He also waved happily towards this side to show that he saw it.

Holding the exam basket in his hand, he quickened his pace and walked towards this side.

"Mother, sister, you have worked hard."

Shuangshuang pulled him around and said, “We are not working hard, but you are the one who has worked hard for this family.

Okay, without saying anything else, let’s go home first.”

Only then did Xu Zhexing realize that several of his cousins were gone.

"Mom, where are my cousins?"

"The owner of Hongyunlou needs dozens of chickens the day after tomorrow, so I sent them all back."

"Really? That would definitely make Grandma happy. Did they sell everything they brought?"

"They were sold to Hongyunlou."

At this time, Baoni handed a steamed bun to Dunzi, "Brother, please eat quickly. You must be hungry too."

"I'm not hungry. The pancakes my mother made were so delicious that I ate them all."

He felt embarrassed as he said this. At the beginning, he had wanted to leave two pieces for his sister so that she could have a taste too.

But in the afternoon, I couldn't help but eat it.

"As long as it tastes good, I'll make it for you next time."

Xu Zhexing took a few backpacks and his own book box, and the family hurried home.

When I returned to the village, the whole village was silent.

Farmers are all like this. They usually don't light oil lamps at night unless they have nothing to do. After all, lamp oil costs money.
