Farmer Hao Laogong

Chapter 11

☆ Chapter 11

When Tang Qing heard what he said, he was a little confused. The capable wife he fantasized about no longer existed, but there was no way to return it even after marrying him. Tang Qing smiled awkwardly: "Go to sleep, no. If you know how to do it, let's buy it and wear it."

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as Tang Qing doesn't dislike it.

Early the next morning, Tang Qing took Zhou Qing and got on Uncle Liu's bullock cart with several large bags of prepared medicinal materials. There were not many people going to the market, and there were only two people in the car, both elders of the village. , Tang Qing said hello with a smile, found a seat and sat down.

The oxcart creaked forward with few people on it. Most people in the village were still reluctant to spend the two copper coins. They all got up early and walked to the market.

It started to get cold, and a gust of wind blew, stinging my face. Zhou Qing's clothes were a little thin, and he shivered suddenly. Tang Qing sat sideways to block some of the cold wind for him.

When we arrived in the town, there were quite a lot of people. Most of them came to buy winter clothes for their families, so the door of the cloth shop was full of people. Tang Qing took Zhou Qing to the drug store first. Looking at the style, he estimated that he would have to wait for a while even if he went to the cloth store.

When they arrived at the medicine shop, an apprentice warmly welcomed Tang Qing into the small guest room in the back hall, brought a pot of hot tea, and then went out to get busy again. This season, the medicine shop was also too busy to keep its head off the ground.

Tang Qing and Zhou Qing sat in the room for a while before shopkeeper Wu came in: "I've been waiting for a long time. The drug store has been really busy these two days." "

Just kidding, it's important to save people." Tang Qing hurriedly shouted haha , and introduced Zhou Qing to Shopkeeper Wu.

"Congratulations to the two newlyweds. Come and take it. This is a little thought from me." Shopkeeper Wu teased the young couple with a smile and gave Zhou Qing another red envelope.

Zhou Qing pushed shopkeeper Wu's hand and looked at Tang Qing with questioning eyes. He accepted it when Tang Qing nodded.

"Ten jins of Eucommia ulmoides, if you count five hundred cents per catty, that's five taels. Three catties of astragalus, count your two liangs per catty, and that's six taels." After some pleasantries, shopkeeper Wu started playing with the abacus. As he spoke, he kept mumbling.

"A total of twenty-five taels and three cents of silver. Mr. Qing, I think my calculation was right." After weighing the medicinal materials and calculating the calculations, shopkeeper Wu said to Tang Qing with a smile.

Tang Qing nodded without saying anything more. Shopkeeper Wu took the silver and gave it to Tang Qing, who then handed it to Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing's hand holding the silver trembled slightly. Twenty-five taels of silver was not light. Except for the ten or so taels that Tang Qing gave him on the night of his wedding, he had never seen more.

Tang Qing picked these medicinal materials from the back mountain without spending a penny. He cut them up and dried them when he went home and earned so much by flipping them. No wonder Tang Qing was so lavish in spending money, so he made so much money. The flowers are really nothing.

Zhou Qing's thoughts changed, and he felt a little inferior. He felt that he could do nothing but work. He also looked at the clothes on his body and they were a little white. When he went out today, he was thinking about what he would do if there were too many people in the town taking advantage of the stolen goods. , just wearing old clothes, not sure if it would embarrass Tang Qing.
