Chapter 29

Lu Jiao asked the shopkeeper Li next to her as she walked, "Do you have pepper star anise in your shop?"

Shopkeeper Li looked over in surprise: "Yes, what is the lady buying this for?"

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "It's useful."

At this time, the pepper star anise is used for medicine, she can't say that she takes it back to cook, and people think she is crazy.

Lu Jiao took a few steps and asked, "Is there any plaster?"

Gypsum was also used as medicine in ancient times. I don’t know if Baohetang has it.

She wants to make tofu with gypsum. Before that, she always wanted to find a job for the Lu family. Later, she wanted to teach them how to make tofu, but tofu needs brine or gypsum to make tofu. The salt field is not here, so I can only make tofu with gypsum. , I don’t know if there are any in the store.

The shopkeeper turned around to look at Lu Jiao, and felt that this country lady was very weird, why she kept asking about some strange medicinal materials, which were rarely used.

"Yes, my lady."

Lu Jiao immediately grinned, and in a good mood took out the medicine list prescribed by Doctor Zhou earlier.

"According to the good match, make ten pairs. In addition, give me half a catty each of pepper star anise and fennel leaves, and weigh as much gypsum as you have in your store."

The shopkeeper didn't know what to say when he saw her buying a lot, "Lady, what are you doing?"

"Dispensing."

Shopkeeper Li had a look of disbelief, what kind of medicine can these things be mixed with, but since Lu Jiao doesn't want to say it, it's hard to ask.

Lu Jiao took the opportunity to ask her again: "Does your Baohetang accept all medicinal materials?"

Shopkeeper Li nodded: "Well, all kinds of medicinal materials are accepted, but the price of processed ones is slightly more expensive, and it is much cheaper to steal money from unprocessed ones. The lady wants to sell medicinal materials?"

Lu Jiao nodded: "Well, in the future, shopkeeper Li will take care of you."

Shopkeeper Li thought of the 50-year-old Ganoderma lucidum sold by Lu Jiao, and his face looked a lot better: "Okay."

The two of them went to the front, and the shopkeeper personally dispensed the medicine for Lu Jiao, but while he was dispensing, he inquired about what Lu Jiao wanted for pepper and star anise.

The shopkeeper was also impressed, this lady looks fat and clumsy, but she is shrewd.

"A total of seventy taels and sixty copper coins, with the odds wiped off, let's count as seventy taels."

Lu Jiao looked at the seventy taels that were missing in the blink of an eye, and once again sighed at the preciousness of ancient medicinal materials: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Li."

Lu Jiao put the prepared medicine into the basket with a smile, and put away the one hundred and thirty taels of silver that the shopkeeper settled. Originally, the shopkeeper kindly wanted to give her a hundred taels of silver.

Lu Jiao refused, she had the space, and she was not afraid to put more money, but shopkeeper Li looked at her worriedly, but couldn't say anything more.

Lu Jiao had already collected the money into the space by using the action of putting the medicinal materials.

She tidied up, picked up the basket and left. There were still a lot of things to buy.

Because she has money in her pocket, next time Lu Jiao let go of her hands and feet to buy a lot, thirty catties of rice, thirty catties of white flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, don't be afraid of expensive, buy it! clothes, buy!

However, there were no ready-made clothes for children in the tailor shop, so she could only buy cloth to go back to wear, but bought two suits for Xie Yunjin inside and out.

As for herself, she didn't buy a single pudding. She had to wait for her weight loss to succeed before buying. Now that she's so fat, she doesn't look good in anything.

In the end, I bought the sweets and pastries that the little guy loved, and went to the blacksmith's shop to buy a hatchet and a hoe. I didn't expect these two things to be very expensive, but even though they were expensive, Lu Jiao gritted her teeth and bought them.

After this purchase, more than a dozen taels of silver were missing in her pocket, but Lu Jiao was very satisfied with the purchase, it was really fun to buy, buy, buy!

Seeing that it was getting late, she packed up and went straight to the place where the ox cart was parked earlier.

At this time, everyone has arrived, and only she is waiting for her.

Seeing her coming, Xie Lan immediately got angry: "I don't know what kind of messy things I bought again. You won't spend all the money my third brother bought for medicine?"

Lu Jiao immediately sneered unceremoniously: "I count on your family's five taels of silver. Your third brother has died long ago. It is not shameful to spend five taels of silver every day to talk. I bought ten pairs this time. Are you planning to subsidize it?" me?"

Lu Jiao put all the rice, noodles, candies and pastries into the space, and there were only ten sets of Xie Yunjin's herbs in the back basket, as well as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, etc. People in the car could see it at a glance.

Thinking of what Xie Erzhu said before, if you buy three sets of medicine for five taels, it will cost you ten taels of silver for ten.

In fact, they didn't know that these ten pairs cost fifty taels.

The people in the bullock cart couldn't help sighing, people in the country can't afford to get sick, Xie Lan didn't say a word, and just went out on Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, Xie Xiaojuan on the side stretched out her hand and pinched Lu Jiao's hand, signaling her to ignore Xie Lan, an idiot. Now her brother is pointing to this sister-in-law to take care of her, and she still fights against her sister-in-law everywhere, isn't it stupid? ?

The bullock cart drove back all the way, because it was not far away, so it hurried back to the village, but just as the bullock cart arrived at the entrance of the village, a small figure ran over and yelled.

"Third grandma, my grandma told you to go home immediately, something happened to your family."

Lu Jiao looked over quickly, and found that it was Datou who was running over, and immediately asked impatiently, "Datou, what's the matter?"

Datou was running out of breath, and couldn't explain clearly at the moment: "Big girl... snatch... Dabao and the others... beat..."

Seeing Lu Jiao anxious, Xie Tieniu said, "I'll take you home."

Lu Jiao quickly nodded, no one else in the bullock cart objected, only Shen Xiu's face was a bit ugly, she had heard Datou say "big girl, rob", it can't be her brother's big girl and Xie Sange's child Let's fight.

Shen Xiu felt indescribably anxious, and clenched her fingers unconsciously.

The carriage quickly arrived at the west end of the village. Before the ox cart stopped, Lu Jiao jumped under the cart. Xie Tieniu was startled: "Slow down."

Lu Jiao couldn't care so much, and went straight to the door of the house with her back on her back. She saw a lot of people standing inside and outside the fenced yard of her house, and among them was the faint cry of a child.

Lu Jiao hurried to the front of the house, but before she got there, she heard the children's angry crying and cursing from the courtyard.

"Shen Da Niu, you are a thief, you came to my house to steal things, and even let people beat us, you are a shameless scumbag, you lose money, you are a little bitch who was born but not taught, when I grow up You have to peel your skin and constrict your tendons, so that you can't close your eyes even if you die."

"Oh my God, there's no way we can live through this day, everyone comes to bully us, we might as well hit each other to death."

As soon as these two voices of crying and cursing fell to the ground, there was another voice of Qingling and cold shouting: "Widow Li, are you bullying my family? I'm not dead yet."

Lu Jiao just walked to the door, and when the people in front of the courtyard saw her, they quickly moved away, and one of them shouted: "My wife Yun Jin is back."

"This woman is very powerful now. I don't know how she will deal with Widow Li's family."

Lu Jiao ignored the villagers who were talking, and looked up at the people in front of the yard.

Xie Yunjin lay on the threshold, supporting her body with both hands, staring at Widow Li with bloodthirsty eyes, but there was no blood on his face.
