"Since the children want to go, why don't you go too." Su Hu was also very happy.
To be honest, he had no confidence at all when he went to Furong Town to sell ginseng by himself, but with his wife and children with him, he could be a bit more courageous.
"Success, that's it. Go home and change your clothes. Let's leave immediately."
Li Xiu'e's heart was moved, she was married to Woniu Village for many years, and the number of times she went to the town can be counted on the fingers. Taking the opportunity of selling ginseng, she also wanted to visit the bustling market.
"Let's go play in town!"
With the permission of their parents, Su Qiaoer and Doudou happily ran down the mountain one after the other. Their crisp and melodious laughter made everyone feel happy.
"I got money from selling ginseng, cut some floral cloth, and made some new clothes for the children." Li Xiu'e was holding the little baby girl with joy on her face.
"You also make yourself new clothes, don't be reluctant, I have a hunch, with Sister Yu around, our family will get better and better."
Su Hu was carrying the basket, looking forward to a good day with plenty of food and clothing, with a longing look on his face.
"Well, yes, it will get better and better."
Li Xiu'e lowered her eyes, glanced at her and closed her eyes. The drowsy little baby girl felt soft in her heart.
***********
When the couple returned home, Li Xiu'e took out a few sets of half-new clothes from the cabinet that she was willing to wear during the New Year, and changed them for the whole family.
Before leaving, he carefully replaced the brocade quilt that wrapped Sister Yu with his own coarse quilt, carefully closed the doors and windows, and locked them. Then he and her husband carried a bamboo basket on their backs, took their children, crossed the river by boat, and headed for Furong Town by donkey cart.
*****
The Qilian Mountains have a vast territory, with mountains connecting mountains, and the mountain roads are rugged. Walking out of the mountain from the other side of the river, you have to turn more than a dozen turns on the narrow mountain road to reach Furong Town.
Furong Town is the largest town in Shilibacun. Although it is not very prosperous, because at the foot of the famous Foshou Temple Mountain, there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going, which brings prosperous business opportunities to the small town.
Su Hu dragged his daughter to Furong Town with his daughter, and he had already planned in his heart. The most reputable pharmacy in the town is Kong Shan Tang, a century-old brand.
"Guest officer, you are here, do you want to get medicine or see a doctor?"
The family stepped into the threshold of the pharmacy, and the young guy greeted him politely with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, how do you sell ginseng here?"
Li Xiu'e thought about it, and instead of coming up to express her intention, she made indirect remarks and inquired about the market of ginseng.
"Does this aunt want to buy ginseng? Or sell ginseng?"
The young man was very clever, and he could guess the purpose of the couple's visit from the outer clothing.
"Selling ginseng."
Su Hu was honest, he couldn't tell a lie, so he got it right.
"Cough cough."
Li Xiu'e stomped on him resentfully.
"Selling ginseng, brother, you have come to the right place. Our Kongshantang is a century-old brand, and our reputation is absolutely guaranteed. You will definitely not lose money if you sell it to us."
Seeing the business coming, the young man smiled even more eagerly.
"You give us an approximate price first, we think it's appropriate, and then discuss it in detail."
Compared to Su Hu's honesty, Li Xiu'e is more or less business-minded and will not be easily calculated.
The guy was a little bit embarrassed: "Well, I haven't seen ginseng, so it's hard to say."
Li Xiu'e frowned, not happy: "It's hard to say why, maybe you want to sit on the ground and raise the price."
"My aunt, don't be angry, our Kong Shantang will never do anything to harm customers."
The little guy was a little overwhelmed, and kept looking into the inner hall with his little eyes asking for help.
