Chapter 6 No Money
Lao Ning was called out by Ning Juan, and he looked shocked.
"Baoer, where did you..." come from?
Ning Bao: "I just wanted to go and see if there was any, and then they collided again as soon as I got there, and then I picked it up."
She handed the hare to Lao Ning and smiled very brightly.
"Dad, let's sell the rabbit to the market. When you change it to something else, your mother's body will also need to be well repaired."
Lao Ning took the rabbit with trembling hands and weighed it.
What a guy, one weighs at least a dozen pounds.
"Why keep one at home and keep it first? When can Baoer eat meat when he wants to eat it?"
"No, daddy, aren't there still several fish? Let's eat fish."
Lao Ning thought about it and felt it was done, but he still kept the chicken.
So, there are four hens in the Ning family now, and the chicken coop is suddenly lively.
Ning Juan ran outside the chicken coop and lay there talking inside.
"Chicken, chicken, remember to lay a few more eggs. If there are four a day, we will be able to eat them all."
"But it would be great if you could lay eight eggs a day, so we can not only have eggs to eat, but also sell them at the market." I was so happy to think about it.
Ning Bao and Lao Ning laughed aside.
This heroine is indeed a fool.
...
The market in this era is called the big market, with people coming and going, and many people are holding piglets in their hands. From a distance, they don’t know whether it is a pet or a seller. It is probably the latter.
There are many people who buy bamboo baskets around, and all kinds of gadgets, almost all handmade.
Most of the middle-aged and elderly people are in the market. Even if they don’t buy things, many people are happy to come out and take a walk.
Chinese people love liveliness, from ancient times to the present.
"Dad, let's be here, it's lively here." Ning Juan said excitedly.
It is easy to sell if there are too many people.
Unlike them, Ning Bao is now observing whether there are Chinese medicine clinics nearby.
Unfortunately, there are too many people, she is short and can't see anything.
No, she must find a reason to go around the surroundings.
"Dad, do you know where there is a Chinese medicine restaurant nearby?"
Lao Ning thought for a while, "I heard Lao Hutou mentioned at the entrance of the village that there seems to be a clinic on the other side of East Street, which was run by an old Chinese doctor and has been open for hundreds of years."
Happy hundreds of years.
"Dad, I want to go over and take a look."
How could Lao Ning agree? "That's not the case? You are still young, there are many people here and there. Dad will accompany you later."
Can I still achieve my goal after you go?
"No, Daddy, I have a good memory, and it was the clinic that the traveling doctor asked me to go to. Maybe I have anything to tell me." Ning Bao acted coquettishly at him: "Daddy, just let me go."
Lao Ning still disagreed, Ning Bao signaled Ning Juan, and Ning Juan quickly helped to plead, "Dad, Baoer is a lucky star, there will be no danger, just let her go!"
Ning Bao: "Dad~"
After hesitating for a long time, Lao Ning agreed, but moved the stall seat to the place where he could see the clinic before he was relieved, regardless of whether anyone would come here.
Ning Bao knew that this was his biggest letting go.
It was not until he watched Ning Bao enter the clinic that Lao Ning took Ning Juan to sit down. There were two waking rabbits locked in the chicken cage in front of him, which attracted many people to watch.
There were not many people in the clinic, only a group of people were waiting aside. There was an old man sitting next to the clinic desk not far away, with a gray beard. He looked like he was not eighty or seventy.
There are no other guys in the store, so this should be the old Chinese doctor mentioned by Dad.
Ning Bao walked aside and lined up, and soon started chatting with the people next to him.
The person next to her told her that the old Chinese doctor is 66 this year, but he is still very energetic and very good. This is his ancestral Chinese medicine clinic. He took over when he was very young and has always treated the poor and has not collected much money. So everyone will come here if they have any physical problems.
"It's just now it's down."
He sighed.
Ning Bao: "Is it because everyone is going to see a Western doctor now?"
"Yes." He nodded, "Actually, Western medicine also takes good care of us. Many medical treatments can be reimbursed, and it doesn't cost much money. But I think we should not forget our gratitude, so although we are few, we would rather come here to see it."
Ning Bao agreed. "In fact, your choice is correct."
She said: "Western medicine treats symptoms and traditional Chinese medicine treats the root cause, but many things in traditional Chinese medicine are difficult to explain, so many people think that traditional Chinese medicine is useless."
Just like in later generations, there were very few people who saw traditional Chinese medicine, and there were almost few old Chinese medicine doctors; but every time they encountered a major disaster, traditional Chinese medicine always contributed the most.
Maybe it is not outstanding, but no one can do it.
How could the things from our ancestors be useless if they have existed for thousands of years?
Several people around expressed their approval of Ning Bao's words.
"I didn't expect that you knew so much at such a young age."
"Little girl, why are you the only one, your parents?"
Ning Bao smiled well-behavedly, "Dad is selling things outside, I'll get medicine."
Actually, she is here to sell medicine.
"Are you sick?"
Ning Bao shook his head and his eyelids drooped.
"It's my dad. His leg has been injured for many years. I want to ask the doctor, can my dad's legs be healthy?"
After hearing this, everyone praised her for being filial.
"Then why don't you let your dad come in with you?"
Ning Bao sighed.
"Dad is reluctant to spend that money."
Everyone said they could understand after hearing this.
Ning Bao was a little helpless. He had to use countless lies to get back. If this continues, she was afraid that her nose would grow longer.
After a while, it was finally Ning Bao's turn.
Lu Yang was stunned when he looked at the thin and pale little girl in front of him.
After Ning Bao arrived at Ning's house, he had been eating and drinking, but in just a few days, of course it was impossible to make up for the suffering he suffered in the previous six years.
"Give me your hand."
Lu Yang signaled.
Ning Bao shook his head, "I didn't see the doctor."
She handed the burlap bag that had been held in her hand for a long time to the other party.
"I'm here to sell ginseng."
Lu Yang subconsciously took the bag. Before he opened it, the rich ginseng smell inside had already come to his face, making Lu Yang's eyes lit up a little, as if he had seen a treasure and opened it.
"This is a hundred years of wild ginseng!" Looking at this, it is even more than a hundred years.
"Yes." He is worthy of being an old Chinese doctor, and he is indeed aware of the goods.
Lu Yang carefully picked up the wild ginseng and looked at him without looking sideways.
"You just said, are you here to sell this ginseng?"
A hundred years of ginseng is hard to come by. If you miss this, Lu Yang believes that he will not be able to see it again in his life.
"Not bad." Ning Bao nodded, "Do you want it?"
Of course Lu Yang wanted it, but... he looked behind her: "Where is your parents?"
In other words, Lu Yang wanted to meet the person behind her.
Ning Bao smiled and said, "You don't have to look for it, because the person you want to meet will not be able to see."
She knew he had misunderstood, and there was someone behind her.
After all, how could a person with a pale face and a thin skin like her behave like this?
Lu Yang knew it.
It seems that there is indeed someone behind this little girl. I believe that she would not be willing to come forward to make a little girl come forward.
"I wonder how much you want to sell this ginseng?" Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "I will explain first that if it is too expensive, then you should let the people behind you sell it to other places."
Over the years, he hasn't had much savings left.
In fact, he felt that he might not be able to afford this at all.
But Ning Bao just shook his head, "I don't want money."
"What!"
Lu Yang couldn't help frowning, "No money, then what do you... want?"
I originally wanted to say to you, but after thinking about it, I still swallowed that word.
