Chapter 40 Money Exchange
Gu Yunjiao walked over and saw that the shopkeeper had finished grabbing the medicine and was about to wrap ten medicines on the counter.
She stretched out her hand and started to pack the medicine swiftly.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at Gu Yunjiao while packing the medicine, “Is this your medicine?”
Gu Yunjiao shook her head, “No, I’m just helping you.”
Shopkeeper Wang kept his subordinates incessant. He had just wrapped the five medicines on his side when he saw Gu Yunjiao pulling a hemp rope and tying the five medicines she had packed.
Shopkeeper Wang gave the two medicines to the customer, and then asked Gu Yunjiao, “Do you know how to take medicines?”
Gu Yunjiao nodded, seeing another customer handing over the prescription, she didn’t say anything more.
Shopkeeper Wang took the medicine, and she packed the medicine for him by the side.
We were busy until almost noon, when everyone went to have lunch, and the pharmacy was empty.
Shopkeeper Wang then waved to Gu Yunjiao who was standing by the side, “Come here, girl, do you have something to do with me?”
She is here to help silently, and she must have something to ask for.
Gu Yunjiao said: “Well, I have some musk here, I don’t know if the shopkeeper will accept it?”
She has a lot of things in her medicine store, and she chose musk because although musk is expensive, there are many recipes that need to be used. Moreover, musk is also a kind of spice, and it is also used in perfumery. In short, it is better. Sell.
Moreover, it is easy to decide how much the quantity is.
Shopkeeper Wang’s eyes lit up, “Let me see what?”
Gu Yunjiao took out a small paper bag with some small brown lumps and particles in it.
Shopkeeper Wang took the paper package carefully, first sniffed it hard, then squeezed it with his hand, and then lightly dipped some of it with his fingers and put it into his mouth.
He closed his eyes, as if savoring, then opened his eyes and nodded, “Yes, it’s genuine, and the quality is good.”
He looked at Gu Yunjiao, “How much do you sell for a gram?”
Gu Yunjiao pondered for a while, “How much do you pay?”
Shopkeeper Wang raised his brows and put the paper package on the counter, “You little girl, for the sake of helping me pack the medicine just now, I won’t lie to you. I’ll give you the real price, two taels per gram.”
Gu Yunjiao didn’t know much about the price of musk in this era. There was only one drugstore in the entire county, and it had to be sold if it didn’t.
She nodded, “Sure, then shopkeeper Wang will weigh it.”
Shopkeeper Wang took a stick, wiped it clean, then took a piece of paper and put it on the pad, weighed the paper, and showed Gu Yunjiao the weight, “four grams”.
Gu Yunjiao nodded, and then shopkeeper Wang poured the musk from the paper bag onto the scorpion.
The scale moved on the scale rod a few times. Shopkeeper Wang put the scale rod under Gu Yunjiao’s eyelids, “19 grams.”
Gu Yunjiao nodded again.
Treasurer Wang calculated quickly, “The paper is four grams, and after removing the four grams, the total is fifteen grams of musk, and the total is thirty taels of silver.”
He carefully put away the musk, and then opened the cash drawer to weigh the money for Gu Yunjiao.
Thirty taels of silver is a bit overwhelming.
Gu Yunjiao put it into a bag that had been prepared a long time ago, thanked the shopkeeper Wang, and went out.
After went out, Gu Yunjiao looked back, and there was no suspicious person following her.
also, but only thirty taels of silver, it is not enough to kill someone.
Besides, there were only the shopkeeper and two clerks in the pharmacy just now, as well as the sitting doctor.
Gu Yunjiao was also hungry. It happened to be a restaurant on the side of the road. She went in and looked at the water sign, and asked for a bowl of pork sangzi noodles for five cents a bowl.
was eating noodles, and when he looked up, he saw Mrs. Chen taking Rokuro and Sanya to the door.
