Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 300 The Screaming Woman

Shopkeeper Zhou looked up, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Girl, you are..."

An Yue smiled and joked, "I am An Yue who delivered the herbs before. You are a forgetful person, so I am afraid you don't remember."

He scratched his head and suddenly said, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, after hearing what you said, I now remember it. Miss, did you send me some herbs today?"

An Yue pointed to the oxcart parked outside the shop and said, "Yes, yes, yes. We have plantain, mugwort, houttuynia, and basil. How much do you want to buy today, old man?"

"Oh, it seems that the girl has transported a lot of herbs this time?" Shopkeeper Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked towards the cattle road.

"Yes, this time I came to the town to supply herbs to each shop one by one."

Hearing what An Yue said, Shopkeeper Zhou raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly brightened when he looked at An Yue.

He asked with a smile: "So, the girl is now supplying herbs to the entire Shijing Town?"

After An Yue responded, she quickly asked, "Well, then, old man, why don't you take down 20 kilograms of plantain today?"

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head, raised his hand and spread out five fingers, laughing and said, "Haha, twenty kilograms is not enough, at least forty kilograms."

An Yue was delighted after hearing this and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, no problem. What about the price..."

"How much silver was one pound of plantain that the young lady sent you last time?"

An Yue made a 'two' gesture and said, "Last time, the dried plantain was 20 wen per jin. Now that the drought is severe and we are all old acquaintances, I won't raise the price. It will remain the original 20 wen per jin. How do you think?"

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "Come on, come on, the young lady is a straightforward person."

"Then I'll send it to you."

After saying this, An Yue turned around and walked quickly towards Li Wu and the others.

Shopkeeper Zhou poked his head out and shouted to An Yue, "Miss, bring 20 kilograms of mugwort and 10 kilograms of the other herbs."

An Yue turned her head with a smile and replied loudly: "Okay."

Coming to Li Wu, An Yue asked Li Wu to start loading plantain into a backpack.

The two of them filled two large backpacks tightly and followed An Yue to the shop to weigh the goods.

"Old man, weigh the plantain first, and the rest will be delivered right away."

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at all these herbs and smiled: "Okay, okay, young lady, please follow me."

Shopkeeper Zhou led An Yue and the other two to the backyard of the shop to weigh the goods. An Yue took out paper and pen to prepare for accounting.

Two baskets of dried plantain were quickly weighed, and the big ox A'er went to the ox cart to carry other herbs.

……

After a busy period of work, they finished the weighing quickly.

Da Niu Ale took the backpack to the ox cart, and An Yue and Manager Zhou settled the silver and money.

Shopkeeper Zhou took his account book and said to An Yue, "Miss, let's count the number of herbs first."

An Yue nodded and looked at the account book to check with Manager Zhou.

Finally, the amount was correct, and Shopkeeper Zhou used an abacus to settle the money.

An Yue took the money and said with a smile: "Thank you, old man. Goodbye!"

After leaving Minkang Pharmacy, the four of them pulled the ox cart to the next pharmacy - Jirentang.

The two shops were not far apart, and we arrived there in a short while.

Compared with Minkang Pharmacy, An Yue was more familiar with Jirentang. However, Jirentang was the same, with patients sitting and lying all around.

An Yue asked Daniu Ale to carry the herbs and go to Jirentang with her.

As soon as the three of them walked into Jirentang, Xiao Lu, who was dispensing medicine, recognized An Yue at a glance.

He shouted to An Yue, "Sister An Yue." An Yue smiled and waved at Xiao Lu in response.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jizhong, who was sitting at the consultation table, and Mrs. Zhang at the counter heard what was said and quickly raised their eyes to look at An Yue and the others.

An Yue first greeted Zhang Jizhong, "Uncle, are you busy?" Zhang Jizhong responded to An Yue with a warm smile and continued to take the patient's pulse.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang put down the work at hand and couldn't wait to chat with An Yue.

An Yue walked quickly to Madam Zhang and said with a cute smile, "Aunt, I'm here again."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile on her face: "Yueyue, you are finally here."

An Yue walked to the counter and asked curiously, "Auntie, what's going on?"

"There has been a locust plague these two days. I haven't seen you for a few days, so I'm a little worried." As she said this, she took An Yue's hand and walked towards the backyard. Da Niu and A'er followed behind them, carrying herbs on their backs.

"Don't worry, Auntie, Yueyue is safe and sound at home."

After arriving at the backyard, Mrs. Zhang patted Anyue's arm and said with relief, "That's good, that's good."

After that, several people started to weigh themselves.

……

All kinds of medicinal materials are needed, and the quantity is almost the same as that in Minkang Pharmacy.

After weighing, Daniu Ale went outside with a basket on his back to wait for An Yue.

An Yue and Mrs. Zhang sat in the yard and chatted about family matters.

After a while, An Yue said goodbye to them and walked out of the shop.

We are also preparing to deliver the goods to the following pharmacies.

……

After entering the main street from the town entrance, the few of them headed west to deliver the herbs to the pharmacy.

After two hours, the delivery was finally completed.

A full ox cart of herbs was sold for a total of thirty taels of silver.

An Yue touched her bulging purse and felt very happy.

All the herbs were sold out and everyone felt much more relaxed.

They walked on the street and looked at several alleys. Except for the tea inn where people rested, which was still open and had occasional people coming in and out, all other shops on the street had their doors closed.

The sun was particularly scorching at noon, and the heat waves on the ground continued to rise. The occasional breeze did not bring any coolness.

An Yue counted out sixty coins from her purse and gave them to Li Wu, saying, "Uncle Li, I am grateful for your help today. This is my reward for you."

Li Wu looked at the copper coins that An Yue gave him with a surprised look on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Yueyue, uncle can't take so much."

An Yue stuffed sixty copper coins into Li Wu's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, uncle. Please accept it!"

Li Wu held the money in both hands, his joy clearly visible.

"Okay, uncle will not be polite. If Yueyue needs help in the future, just let me know."

An Yue smiled playfully and said, "Well, that's for sure."

Da Niu and A'er removed the fence on the ox cart, and the three of them sat on the ox cart. Li Wu drove the ox cart back to the village.

At this moment, a woman's painful scream was suddenly heard not far away.

An Yue looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw three people pushing a two-wheeled cart, hurrying on their way.

Soon, Li Wu's ox cart was getting closer and closer to the two-wheeled cart.

When the ox cart and the cart merged, An Yue saw the woman on the cart holding her big belly with both hands, still shouting.

In a blink of an eye, An Yue seemed to find that the woman lying on the cart looked familiar.
