Chapter 537 (1/2)
It's getting darker and darker.
Just after the third quarter of Shenshi (four or five o'clock in the afternoon), it was too dark to see clearly.
Inside the rest station, there were several more people, all of them business travelers passing by. Some visited relatives and friends, and some did business.
A middle-aged peasant woman came to the rest station with a basket on her back.
After standing for a while, she saw someone coming out and asked timidly, ”do you accept the goods here?”
She has a strong accent.
Pockmarked Wang glanced at her basket and covered it with straw. She could not see what was in it.
”Take it! What's on your back. ”
The farmer's wife carefully put down the basket and took away the straw to reveal what was inside.
Wang pockmarked together, eh, unexpectedly it was fresh black fungus, and dried mushrooms.
”Where did the black fungus come from?”
The farmer's wife was very nervous. She didn't say anything.
Wang realized that the farmer's wife was afraid of him, probably because he didn't understand Mandarin very well.
”Mr. Wang, please come out.”
Wang laotong Sheng heard the cry and ran out of it.
”What's the matter? What's the matter? ”
”Ask her, where did you pick this fungus? Is there any more? Next time, can you stop picking the fungus and bring the wood with it? The price is easy to discuss. ”
Wang laotong Sheng was told to communicate with the peasant women in dialect.
Listening to the familiar dialect, the peasant woman really relaxed.
Two people, you come and I go, talk for a long time.
Wang laotong Sheng inquired about the situation, ”fungus is collected from the mountain, wild. If you want to move wood, I'm afraid the fungus will not survive. She said that the wild fungus was only produced in the valley around them, and it was not good in other places. How much do you charge? ”
Wang pockmarked son is very decisive, ”this agaric is good, I also won't let her suffer loss. According to the market price, we will add another three Wen per catty. I'll take all these dried mushrooms. They are also charged at market prices. ”
Wang laotong Sheng communicated with the peasant woman, and the peasant woman showed a surprised expression.
She obviously did not expect that the price of the rest station was so reasonable. No wonder the villagers on the other side of the mountain say that there are good things, don't take them to the countryside, take them to the rest station, the price is better.
Although we have to walk a long way, it takes almost a day to walk to the rest station.
It's very easy for them to come out in the valley.
However, as long as these mountain products can be sold at a good price, it is worth walking for two days, not to mention one day.
After weighing and paying, the farmer's wife is ready to return.
Wang Mazi said to Wang laotongsheng, ”ask her, so far away, can you rush back? It's so dangerous to walk at night. I'm afraid she can't be a woman. We have a big shop in our backyard and hot soup for a penny a night. Do you ask her if she wants to stay
Wang laotong Sheng laughed.
In fact, he is shrewd and has a good mind. When meeting poor people like peasant women, they will try their best to give each other a little convenience.
Wang laotongsheng conveyed Wang pockmarked seeds to the peasant women.
The peasant woman hesitated and said a series of words.
Wang laotongsheng translated to Wang Mazi, ”she has to rush to buy medicine.”
”Do you have a prescription? We always stock medicinal materials here. If you ask her for a prescription, the market price is fair. You tell her, we also have groceries, needles, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. It's so cold outside that I'll just ask her to come in. ”
The farmer's wife was surprised to learn that she could fill the medicine at the rest station.
Trembling, she followed Wang laotong Sheng into the rest station
the room was so warm that she felt the warmth of winter for the first time.
In the rest station, there was a small grocery store that could sell everything.
After Wang Ma Zi gave the peasant woman to Wang laotong Sheng, he left it alone.
Carrying a basket of fungus and dried mushrooms, he went to the kitchen.
In the lobby, there are merchants who are happy to see the fungus.
”Boss, I'd like to have a stir fried fungus with fat and more oil.”
”OK! Wait a minute. The fungus hasn't been washed yet
”Yes! Take your time. We're not in a hurry. ”
It's getting dark.
Lanterns were hung up at toll stations and rest stations, illuminating the road.
Li Dashan thought that there would be no more cars and horses passing by.
Did not expect, far away to hear the sound of dada, a carriage from the direction of Luozhou. Listen, there's more than one horse.
The motorcade is approaching.
It's not the caravan that Li Dashan imagined.
Looking at cars and horses, looking at people's heads, it's like a big family going out.
Whether it's a caravan or a big family. As long as you travel, you have to pay the fare.
Li Dashan is doing the registration dutifully.
