Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs
Chapter 16 There is money
Xia Bai'an was tall and well-proportioned, but his face was full of face, it could be said that his appearance was ugly.
She was wearing a light blue skirt, the most common style and the most common fabric.There is a wooden hairpin on her head, without any jewels.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like rich.
"Guest officer, are you sure it's all ten years old?" The pharmacy apprentice couldn't help asking.
"Sure, grab the medicine quickly."
As an apprentice in a pharmacy, he was used to those poor people who came to buy medicines on credit. If it wasn't for the kindness of the boss, he would have driven them all out.
They are a pharmacy, not a good shop.
He thought Xia Bai'an was a poor guy who wanted to play tricks, so the apprentice couldn't help being a little slack on his face, and his movements were also slow, looking extremely reluctant.
Seeing more and more people queuing up behind him, Xia Bai'an frowned and knocked on the counter impatiently, "Hurry up, please."
When the apprentice heard this, hey, he dared to urge him, and he was immediately unhappy.
"What's the rush? Anyway, you may not be able to afford the money if you get the medicine."
"What, no money? If you don't have money, why don't you come here to grab some medicine? Don't waste my time."
Behind him a burly man squeezed over and put the prescription on the counter, "Hurry up and get the medicine for me, I have plenty of money."
The apprentice immediately put down Xia Bai'an's medicinal ingredients list, and grabbed the medicine with the prescription given by the big man.
After a while, he tied the wrapped medicinal materials with a rope and handed it to the big man, "Take it, two taels."
The big man stretched out his hand, and was about to take the medicine bag, when suddenly, a white and slender hand stretched out from the side, and gently grasped his wrist with his thumb and index finger.
"Wait, I came first, so naturally I was the first to catch me."
Xia Bai'an looked at the two of them, his voice was flat, as if he was talking about something trivial.
"Hey, you little bitch, if you dare to attack me, don't think that I, Hu San, don't beat women."
An old woman next to him nervously tugged on Chabai'an's sleeve, and whispered comforting words: "Little girl, forget it, this Hu San is a thug in a gambling house, and he is fierce."
"Really, no matter how fierce you are, you can't be unreasonable." Xia Bai'an looked at Hu San lightly, seemingly indifferent and disdainful.
Hu San was irritated by this glance, and wanted to give this woman some color, otherwise it would spread that he was afraid of both Hu San and the other women, so how could he mess around!
The arm is strong, and it is thrown violently!
However, Xia Bai'an didn't move at all, not even moving a little bit.
Hu San was shocked in his heart, those two fingers looked so thin, as if they could be broken with a little force, but they were like iron and could not be shaken at all.
He has met a master!
Hu San was immediately frightened, and smiled with a stiff face, "Xia Mai, please forgive me, your lord does not remember the villain's faults, so just let it go."
"The youngest family has an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child..."
Hearing the clichéd words, the corners of Xia Bai'an's mouth twitched slightly, and he let go, "Forget it, just remember to obey the rules next time."
"Yes, yes, please, please first." Hu San stepped back quickly, and respectfully gave her the seat.
Xia Bai'an looked at the stunned apprentice, and asked again: "Can you get me the medicine now?"
"Yes, yes." How dare he be negligent.
Ten years of Prunella vulgaris, five years of Fangfeng, 20 years of Guizhi...
Packed the herbs that Xia Bai'an needed separately, and the apprentice respectfully and politely handed them over, "Please bring them."
After a pause, he continued in a softer voice: "Guardian, 30 taels."
This is already the biggest discount he can give!
Xia Bai'an gave a faint "hmm", put his hand into his sleeve pocket, and then concealed himself to take the money from the space.
As soon as his consciousness moved, 20 taels of silver appeared in his hand, and Xia Bai'an froze.
Although I bought a lot these days, I didn't spend much money. Why is there only 20 taels left for this money?
A wordless embarrassment spread.
The apprentice's expression changed, "Guest officer, you..." Could it be that he really has no money?
Xia Bai'an didn't change his face, and asked him: "Can you take medicinal materials?"
Although the apprentice didn't know why she asked this suddenly, he still replied honestly: "Accept, as long as the product is in good condition and the efficacy of the medicine is not damaged, we will accept it."
"Very good." Xia Bai'an nodded, and then took out one from his sleeve - ginseng.
Baby ginseng has thick arms, complete roots, and has begun to have five sense organs. It is not bad to see the age!
The apprentice was overjoyed, but he didn't expect it to be aged ginseng, which is a rare and good thing.
Thinking about how Xia Bai'an took it out of his sleeve, with that casual gesture, without even a packing box, the apprentice couldn't help feeling distressed.
He quickly found a brocade box, and carefully put the ginseng into the box with both hands.
Then he greeted Xia Bai'an and entered the inner hall, such a precious thing, a young apprentice like him couldn't handle it.
As soon as the apprentice left, another person came over to continue collecting the medicine.
Hu San, who was at the side, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, turned his head and ran away.
Doctor Zhang sitting in the hall couldn't put it down when he saw this 500-year-old wild ginseng. With a wave of his hand, he generously gave Xia Bai'an 1000 taels of silver.
This price is actually a bit high. The usual 500-year-old wild ginseng on the market only costs 800 taels.
As for the reason for the high price, it was because Dr. Zhang heard the apprentice's narration of what happened just now, and concluded that this even somewhat ugly woman was not a simple person.
"This girl..."
"My surname is Xia."
Xia Bai'an didn't wear women's hair in a bun, so he was always called a girl.
"Miss Xia, if you still have medicinal materials next time, don't forget to send them to our Jishitang. The price is absolutely fair."
"Of course, I'm also very satisfied with the price offered by Jishitang."
Coming out of the pharmacy, Xia Bai'an keenly sensed that there was someone following behind him.
I think it was because I took out the wild ginseng just now, revealing her wealth, and those Xiaoxiao knew about the money on her, so they had a crooked idea.
Xia Bai'an pretended not to notice, and continued to walk forward, going into this shop to buy something, and then went into that shop to buy something.
It's a place full of people, and a few hooligans dare not follow too closely, so they can only wait outside.
As a result, I waited and waited, but no one came out.
"Why hasn't this little girl come out yet?"
"When I get the money, I must go to Chunfenglou to have a good time."
"Why, don't you go to find your spring flowers?"
"Go, go, go, if it wasn't for the lack of money, who would look for her."
The hooligans talked more and more vigorously, with a lewd look on their faces.
After a while, when a few people realized that something was wrong and rushed into the cloth shop that Xia Bai'an had entered, there was no one they were looking for inside.
At this time, Xia Bai'an had already boarded the mule cart in the village, and was walking back to the village with a group of aunts and aunts.
She was wearing a light blue skirt, the most common style and the most common fabric.There is a wooden hairpin on her head, without any jewels.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like rich.
