Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The head of the village was very happy, and generously passed on the two prescriptions left by Zhou Man.

Hearing that this prescription was specially created by Zhou Man for the people in Lingnan, the scholars and doctors who came here were very moved and helped to spread it.

So when Zhou Man didn't know, her reputation went up a lot.

Zhou Man and the others went directly to Liuzhou.

Liuzhou is much more prosperous than the small town they lived in before, and there are many shops on the street. As soon as they entered the city gate, they faced the bustling streets.

After living in a secluded mountain for a long time, suddenly entering a bustling city, not to mention, the feeling is quite good.

A bullock cart was coming from the opposite side, and Zhou Man found that there were too many carriages and horses on their side, occupying half of the street, so he kicked the horse's stomach, and nimbly passed the carriage in front, and walked around to make way.

This made the people on the bullock cart look up at Zhou Man in surprise, and Zhou Man also turned his head slightly to look at it. The two immediately met their eyes, and when they turned around, one of them asked in unproficient Mandarin, "Buy me?" fruit?"

One also asked in an unproficient dialect: "Do you sell the fruit in your basket?"

Both of them smiled when they asked.

The ox cart stopped, Zhou Man also stopped the horse, threw the reins to Bai Shan, and ran to take a look at the fruits in the basket.

Zhou Man confirmed that he had never eaten the ugly orange, so he happily said to him, "Let's find a spacious place to talk."

The other party was surprised, "Did you buy too much?"

Zhou Man said, "Another business."

The other party followed her in a daze to find a spacious place, and saw that there were still people getting off from the two carriages, plus the people on horseback, and they surrounded his ox cart with a huff.

He couldn't help swallowing, and said a little nervously: "I, my father is the patriarch, are you foreigners?"

Zhou Man nodded, "Yes, we are from the capital, did you see that?"

Seeing that he was still kind, the other party breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Man reached for the oranges in the basket and asked, "This orange is so ugly, what's it called?"

"It's called Orange," he said, "Although it looks ugly, it's delicious and sweet."

He said generously, "I'll give you a taste, it doesn't cost money if it's not sweet."

Zhou Man peeled one and tasted a piece, his eyes were slightly bright, and he distributed it to Bai Shan and the others, "It's not worse than Tangerine."

It really is.

Mingda looked at the peel of the fruit in Zhou Man's hand, wondering, "The skin is thicker, so it should be easier to transport than the mandarin orange. Since it is not inferior to the mandarin orange, why is there no tribute?"

Zhou Man looked at the skin in his hand, "Because it's too ugly?"

The young fruit seller didn't quite understand what they said, and urged, "Do you want to buy it? No, how many catties do you want?"

Bai Shan couldn't help laughing, and asked softly, "What's your name?"

Seeing that he was a little wary and didn't answer, he explained in a softer voice: "We are from other places, and we have never seen such an orange tree in our place, so we want to gain some insight."

He said, "We want to pick the fruit ourselves."

Bai Shan took out a dime from the purse and gave it to him.

The young man glanced at it, shook his head and didn't answer, "My mother said, we only want money, not silver. The silver is likely to be fake."

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows, and poured out all the copper coins in the money bag to him, not many, and strung them into a small string, with about forty coins.

But in the eyes of the young man, this is already a lot, and it can buy his small half basket of oranges.

For the sake of money, the young man said: "My name is Ashan, my family is in Niuwei Village, a bit far from the city, you have to walk a long way to pick the fruit."

He couldn't understand their behavior, so he urged, "Don't go, Nuo, there are ready-made ones, and they are all good. If you give more money, I will give you a little more."

Bai Shan smiled and asked, "Is it far away?"

"Far away, I want to stay in the wild for one night," he said, pointing to the sun in the sky, "so I have to leave the city quickly, and then I can go to a mountain temple to live at night, and then go home the next day."

Bai Shan then said: "Okay, you can go back first, we bought these fruits too, in a few days we will go to Niuwei Village to find you to pick the fruits."

Zhou Man asked, "Aside from these ugly oranges, what other fruits do you have there?"

Ah Shan said: "There are still good-looking oranges, pears, plums, and longan, but these three are gone. There are only good-looking oranges and ugly oranges."

Zhou Man: "Are there no tangerines?"

Ah Shan glanced at her and shook his head, "No, that thing doesn't belong to us."

He paused, and for the sake of their generosity, he still reminded: "That one is for noble people, it is not sold outside, so don't look for it."

Zhou Man nodded, expressing his understanding.

They agreed with Ah Shan that they would go to Niuwei Village, and the group carried the ugly oranges they had just bought to find a place to live.

Some servants went to the city ahead of time, and arrangements have been made for them. "The post station is small, so the small ones found an inn in the city, and booked their second and third floors."

The inn is fairly clean, and there are many restaurants and restaurants nearby. It looks bustling and lively, but it is on the corner of the street, so it is quiet.

It is also because it is on the corner of the street, so the servants can directly book the entire inn. Other inns have guests, so it is not easy to book.

The servant said: "I have inquired with the store owner that since the opening of the water transport, the time from south to north has been shortened, so many people have come to Lingnan to buy goods."

He said: "The medicinal materials, tea and fruits here are very popular in the north, so so many merchants come here during this season."

Zhou Man was curious, "Is there not much fruit at this time?"

The innkeeper who came to entertain them immediately asked with a smile, "Isn't your guest a merchant who came to buy goods?"

Zhou Man smiled and said: "We are here to play. Of course, if we encounter rare goods, we will sell some."

She saw that he spoke official Chinese well, and he didn't have a local accent, but had some Lu dialect, so she asked, "Is the shopkeeper from Lu?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Exactly, your honored guest has been to Ludi?"

Zhou Man laughed and said, "I used to live in Qingzhou for a few years."

"That's an old friend, please sit down quickly," he said with a smile, "There are not many fresh fruits at the moment, only some oranges and tangerines, and the rest are all dried fruits, but Lingnan is mountainous. There are a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains, and many vendors are here for this."

Zhou Man was thoughtful, "There are indeed a lot of medicinal materials from Lingnan in the past few years, and even two local medicinal materials dealers were selected into the Pharmacy Supply Bureau of the Imperial Medical Administration."

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Man in surprise, nodded and smiled and said, "Exactly, that happened the year before last. When those two were selected, the whole Liuzhou was full of excitement. They celebrated in the city for three days, and the water table was set up for five days." .”

Zhou Man: "... so grand?" Their drug prices are not very high, obviously within the normal range.

Making it so grand made her feel like she was given the wrong price.
