Chapter 5 Visiting the Market

Da'an Town is the largest market nearby. There are people selling things from morning to night. There are shops and vendors on both sides, selling food and all kinds of toys. There are also small vendors selling meat and vegetables.

A long dragon with a dazzling array of things to see.

Tang Ningning walked around the market and asked around, and finally found the largest medical shop in the town.

"Jishitang" is very large, and there are many people who come to see the doctor. There is a little boy in front of the door who is orderly directing. Tang Ningning leads Gu Yan forward.

"Man, I'm here to sell a herb. Will the store accept it?"

When he heard that he was selling herbal medicine, the waiter frowned and refused, "Madam, my family has a fixed channel and we don't accept it from outside."

Tang Ningning was a little surprised that they didn't accept wild ones. However, this is the largest medical shop. If it didn't accept it, other pharmacies probably wouldn't accept it either.

Thinking about this, Tang Ningning smiled and said, "Why don't you let your shopkeeper come and open your eyes, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Although the woman in front of him was dressed as a village woman, she looked like she came from a wealthy family. The man looked inside the room and sighed, "Madam, we really don't accept her here."

"Just go ask your shopkeeper and let him know." Tang Ningning said and handed the clerk a copper coin.

Being so discerning, the guy opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll ask Madam in."

Tang Ningning smiled and nodded.

Gu Yan stood aside, holding the rope on the backpack tightly with his two small hands, biting his lip and saying nothing.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man with a mustache.

"Madam, please come this way."

After entering the lobby, there was a small room on the left, and several people walked in.

"I don't know what kind of herbs Madam brought. We Jishitang don't accept ordinary herbs." The shopkeeper smiled and touched his two strands of mustache.

Tang Ningning took out the eldergrass.

"This is---a red hen?"

The shopkeeper was a little excited. Tang Ningning looked at the shopkeeper with shining eyes and thought about it. Unexpectedly, in ancient times, this thing was called a red hen.

She smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the shopkeeper is very knowledgeable about the goods, so let's make a price. I'll collect some good medicine and deliver it to you tomorrow."

The shopkeeper looked at her and held out five fingers.

"Five taels?" Tang Ningning frowned.

It was so different from what she expected.

"Madam, although this red-feathered hen is very well preserved, there is only one plant. It is difficult for us to use it as medicine, so we can only store it first. Well, I see that Madam is also sincere. I will add this number. Please think about it."

Jishitang is the largest drug store in the town, and the shopkeeper is sincere and has not used any dirty tricks. Otherwise, she is a woman with a child, so whether she can leave Jishitang is a problem.

"Seven taels is seven taels, thank you very much, shopkeeper."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled so much that his back teeth were exposed. He took out the money and handed it to Tang Ningning, "Madam, if you collect good herbs in the future, you can send them over."

"okay."

After leaving Jishi Hall, Tang Ningning walked in the market and went through the things she wanted to buy. This was not good. She had to buy so many things, how could she bring them back?

If it were placed in space, it would still have a small tail following it.

Such a big child is not easy to fool.

After thinking about it, I stopped.

"Yan'er, do you realize that you are wrong?"

The little girl was very stubborn. She didn't know how the original owner beat and scolded a child of several years old to be like this. She couldn't get the child's trust no matter what.

He actually dared to frame her in front of the villagers.

Gu Yan turned her head, with a small face on her face, but the hand tightly holding the rope betrayed her.

Tang Ningning was really defeated by her. She sighed and crouched down, "Stepmother will not sell you. Now that we have made money by selling herbs, we can buy food for the family. Children, please smile more."

In her memory, her stepmother had never spoken to her like this before. In the past, she always hit or scolded her.

Two days ago, the stepmother changed and even cooked food for them, but she was afraid - afraid that this was a dream.

When she woke up from the dream, her stepmother would sell her.

"Where did you get the herbs?"

This kid was so smart and looked straight at her with his wise eyes, which made Tang Ningning feel guilty.

"When I was looking for you and your elder brother that day, I accidentally picked it up on the road."

He said it so confidently.

Gu Yan's face wrinkled, "It's not just stealing."

"------" Tang Ningning.

"I'm going to sell mushrooms. After you finish shopping, go to the old place to find me." The little girl was thin, her head drooped, and she was carrying such a big basket on her small back. It was very sad to see her.

Tang Ningning immediately grabbed the man and said sternly, "There's no need to go there anymore. Take the mushrooms back and make soup for your brother, and my mother will support you."

keep?

The family is poor, and even if the stepmother changes and doesn't play tricks on them, it will be difficult for her to survive. She will still go to pick mushrooms.

"Your feet have been scratched and stretched by the weeds on the mountain. If you continue like this, a little girl will be laughed at by others."

I don’t know how the original owner was so cruel that he let a child of several years old run up the mountain every day without giving him a pair of decent shoes. The soles of his feet were worn with many scars.

It was probably scratched, leaving blood, but was not treated in time, and the wound became a scar.

Regardless of what the little girl was thinking, Tang Ningning took her directly to the largest clothing store. The children in the family had to buy new clothes and quilts. Otherwise, this winter would be difficult.

"Yi Ran Ge Ren" is the largest ready-made clothing store in Da'an Town.

Originally, Tang Ningning planned to buy cloth, but she couldn't get rid of the female celebrities, so she had to go to a ready-made clothing store to buy it. The ready-made clothes were much more expensive than the cloth, so there was nothing she could do about it.

"Madam, please come inside."

As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a smart waiter.

There weren't many people in the store, most of them had gone to the market, and the store wasn't doing much business.

"If there are any clothes for children, let's take a look."

The waiter walked to a relatively remote area, where there were some clothes of poor quality and clearly classified.

"Madam, you can take a look at these models. Although the styles are old, the fabrics are not bad. They are all made of real materials. You can touch them. It will not be a problem to keep them warm for several winters."

The color of this cabinet was a bit old, and it was probably made by adults using leftover fabrics. However, the workmanship was not bad. Tang Ningning sighed when she saw the waiter trying hard to sell it.

He is indeed a businessman, and he can identify people at first sight.

Tang Ningning picked out several stain-resistant cotton coats and trousers, both gray and black. Gu Han grew up quickly, so he wouldn't be able to wear these clothes for long, so he bought one for now.

Gu Zhou is a greedy boy and doesn't choose clothes. He just picks a few soft and loose pieces from this pile, which are suitable for children.

"Are there any girls' styles? These are too old."

The waiter saw that Tang Ningning was generous and bought it without asking the price, and his face immediately showed some flattery.

‘Yes, there is –’

With that said, a few people walked to the counter in front. There were some girls' clothes on it. The colors were bright and pretty, but the styles were few.

Seeing Tang Ningning picking and choosing, the waiter hurriedly said, "Madam, basically there are very few custom-made clothes for children. Our store is the only one in Da'an Town that has ready-made clothes. These are also the popular colors at the moment. You can
