Chapter 47 The Strange Old Man
Chapter 47 The Strange Old Man
The boss didn't seem to mind that he said that the purchase was low, and he still introduced it enthusiastically, "It's okay, the purchases outside are not complete. Besides, don't you still need to buy rice? I will ask him to find someone to deliver as many as you want. , you still come to me to pick it up, isn’t it convenient.”
Cheng Mo thought, yes, isn't he going to go out to buy things frequently in the future? Naturally, he still wants to come to this market, so he didn't refuse, and agreed directly, and wrote down all the varieties and quantities he wanted to buy with a pen and paper. Handed it to the shop owner, the boss took a look, and there was even mango and coconut written on it, he couldn't help being a little dazed, how could it be possible to grow in the climate here?
But he didn't remind him, the two discussed it, Cheng Mo paid a small deposit, agreed to pick it up in three days, and went to the side.
He had already thought about it before he came, no matter what kind of meat and vegetables he raised at home, don’t worry, most of them are single-family households in their hometown, and the transportation is not very convenient, so when repairing the house, they often don’t count The land area has been repaired with pig pens, cow pens and chicken sheds, and it is completely self-sufficient.
It’s not that I never thought about feeding chickens and ducks before, but at that time I thought it was too troublesome, and Baobao could only eat finely chopped minced meat. let go.Now the little guy has a mouth full of sharp teeth and can eat everything. Besides, as he gradually deepens his understanding of the secret realm, and his ancestors are still in the ring time, it is not a good time to store things. Anyway, there is still a lot of space inside.
He first went to the place where the fish was sold to buy some fish fry, and took the opportunity to put them in the big shopping bag in his hand, and threw them into the fish pond in the space. His fish pond also existed before. He was also worried that the fish pond would disappear, but only a few strange aquatic plants grew out of it, and the water quality also changed.
For pigs and cattle, he probably needs to go to a farm to buy them. He is planning to go to the city to have a look. Looking at the time, he feels that there is not enough time to find a farm now, so he put it down first and bought another two catties of beef. Two catties of pork, a whole chicken and a small bag of ribs are ready to go back.
He put all his things in the secret realm. The shopping bag looked bulging, but it was almost empty inside. When he came out, he took another exit. At the door, he saw a ragged old man lying in the basket in front of him. A bunch of little yellow chickens looked quite energetic, chirping and chirping, which was a surprise.
After buying all the chickens in a basket, Cheng Mo paid the old man, staring at the bony hands full of scars, fascinated, his grandfather's hands were like this in his memory, when he touched his head when he was a child, he would be caught by the hard hands. The cocoon was painful, even so, it was his precious memory.
He was in a daze when the old man on the opposite side said something, he only caught one tail, the local accent was too strong for him to understand, the old man wrinkled his dark and wrinkled face together, said it again, trembling, Cheng Mo finally caught it When it comes to key words, "Are you going to a Chinese medicine store to buy medicine?"
The old man nodded, Cheng Mo understood. It is estimated that this old man came to the city alone, selling things, wanted to buy medicine but could not find the pharmacy, and no one paid attention to it after asking for a long time, I don’t know if there was no one I understand what he said, but I still don't want to pay attention to it. Now many people are getting more and more defensive. Almost no one dares to take care of this kind of old man who is alone.
Cheng Mo is not a good person, he is more suspicious than anyone else, but he has no way to let an old man who is similar to his grandfather in his memory be left alone, after all, his grandfather is the only relative he recognizes.
He was not familiar with this area, so he asked someone to ask clearly before he signaled to the old man to take him there. The old man probably didn't expect Cheng Mo to take him there on his own initiative, surprise burst out of his cloudy eyes, Zhan Zhanwei's Get ready to stand up.
It may be because he sat for too long, his limbs were stiff, he couldn't stand still and almost fell down. Cheng Mo quickly reached out to help him. He hung a decorative shopping bag with a few packets of seeds that didn't weigh much in the other. Holding the bag in one hand.He naturally stretched out his hand to hang the shopping bag, and supported the old man who was standing unsteadily. The old man staggered, and subconsciously moved forward with his hands, touching the tender arm of the bag, and the back of the little guy's hand turned red immediately one slice.
Cheng Mo helped the old man to stand firm, and casually asked, "Are you alright?"
The old man shook his head and said something. Cheng Mo didn't care. He quickly lowered his head to look at Baobao's arm. The child's skin was tender and white, so the redness and swelling looked particularly glaring. He was very distressed, "Does Baobao hurt? Just blow it, blow it, it will be fine."
Baobao didn't feel the pain, but tilted his head and stared at the old man curiously for a long time, before pointing at the old man's crisp mouth, "Dad, grandpa, grandpa!"
When Baobao was in the secret realm, Cheng Mo often turned to previous photos. Although there were only two photos of grandpa, they were enough for Baobao to remember people. When he saw the old man at this time, he felt very similar, so he cheered excitedly Then, Cheng Mo patted his head, "Stop making trouble, it's not grandpa."
The bag is strange, it is obviously a grandfather, why did my father say no?
Cheng Mo was also planning to go to the city to have a look. Now that he happened to take the old man to the Chinese medicine store, he would have no time to shop. The best Chinese medicine store in the city is Huichuntang. I heard that there are a wide range of medicines and the prices are reasonable. The most important thing is that the old Chinese doctor sits in the hall, not far away, so he simply took the old man to the Huichun hall.
The storefront of Huichuntang is more than ten meters wide. There is a plaque hanging in the middle. The three characters of Huichuntang are written like dragons and snakes, and the iron and silver hooks are quite imposing. The inside is very quiet. When you approach, you can smell a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine , Cheng Mo looked at the pharmacy, "It's here. If you have anything you want to buy, just go in and buy it. Remember to go back on the way. Just go back along the way later. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."
As he said that he was about to leave, he didn't know that he was grabbed by his sleeve just after he took a step. Cheng Mo was also a little impatient, and now he was going to find a place where no one was around to activate the magic amulet and rush back to make it for his family. As for dinner, fifth brother Qin called him just now and said that Xiaofeng and the others were back and were coming to pick him up. He couldn't bear to ignore the old man, but he didn't have the obligation to confess the old man.
"You..." He frowned, turned around and looked at the old man's weather-scarred face, no matter how much anger he felt, he took a deep breath in his heart and asked patiently, "Is there anything else? "
The old man took out a cloth bag from his pocket, handed it to him, pointed to the traditional Chinese medicine shop, and said only one word, "Sell."
Cheng Mo looked at the things in his hands, blinked his eyes, and felt that he wanted to sell things. Many times in the past, grandpa would dig up some herbs, collect them into bundles and sell them to passing merchants to earn some money to subsidize his life.
It’s just that basically digging up the herbal medicines bought by others, and recklessly going to other people’s pharmacies to sell them, basically others will not pay attention to them. After all, every shop has a fixed purchase channel, and it is impossible to accept some scattered things.
He sighed weakly, and wanted to explain this truth to the old man, "Old man, important shops will not accept this kind of powdered medicine, this cannot be sold."
The old man didn't know if he understood or not, so he just stood still. Cheng Mo pursed his lips, a little annoyed at his rashness, and really got into trouble, but his eyes stopped on the tattered clothes on the old man's body, deeply Taking a deep breath, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Forget it, I'll buy this old man, and you can set a price."
Let’s just do good deeds every day to accumulate merit. Since I started to practice, I will also vaguely feel the benefits of merit, which may be closely related to my own fortune or luck.
The most important thing is that as long as he sees the old man, he will think of his grandfather, and there is no way to really leave the old man here alone.
He had already agreed to buy it, but the old man in front of him couldn't help but look happy. On the contrary, his cloudy eyes became deeper and deeper. After staring at him for a long time, he didn't say much, and walked into the shop by himself. up.
Cheng Mo watched in surprise as he staggered into the pharmacy, only to realize that he hurriedly followed. Although the people in Huichuntang had a good attitude, they couldn't be sure if someone hurt the old man in a bad mood or something. It's not good, he walked fast, and caught up with the old man in a few steps, "Old man, didn't you say that I want to buy it, so I don't need to sell a Chinese medicine shop."
The old man ignored him and walked towards the counter. Cheng Mo had no choice but to follow quietly, deciding to help. The people behind the counter glanced at the old man, slightly contemptuous, but immediately He cast another sidelong glance at Cheng Mo who was following behind him, and he had some calculations in his heart. He greeted him with a professional smile, "Is there anything the old man needs?"
The old man didn't say much, just stretched out his hand to put the cloth bag on the counter, and still only uttered one word, "Sell."
The smile on the shopkeeper's face didn't change, and his attitude didn't change. He said in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry, old man, this is against the rules. We won't accept it here..."
The old man didn't give him a chance to continue, so he stretched out his hand to open the cloth bag, and then the words of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy stuck in his throat, his eyes widened for a moment, like two copper bells, he carefully picked up the things on the counter He held it in his hand and inspected it carefully. After smelling the smell, he looked at the old man with eager eyes, "Old man, can I cut a corner and have a look?"
The old man nodded, and the shopkeeper hurriedly sent someone to bring a silver knife, cut off a large piece of the needle point and threw it into his mouth for a long time before suddenly bursting out, "Old man, we want this blood ginseng, just ask for a price."
His eyes were already glued to the blood-red ginseng and he couldn't tear it off, his expression was very excited, "This is blood ginseng that has passed a hundred years, and this kind of natural and earthly treasure has always been rare, hard to find, and priceless... "
Cheng Mo looked at the side for a long time, and finally understood that the things the old man was holding were treasures. Seeing that the shopkeeper was so excited, there was nothing wrong with him. He happened to see a familiar car parked outside, so he came out without telling anyone. Now, Qin Feng got out of the car and helped him pick up the things and put them in the car, "Why did you come to the pharmacy, is there any discomfort?"
Cheng Mo sat in the car with his bag in his arms. Qin Feng helped him pull off the seat belt and fasten it. He shook his head, "It's okay, bring someone here."
Qin Feng didn't ask any more questions, and was about to drive, when he suddenly felt a faint force sweeping past him, he couldn't help but startled, and glanced sideways at the inside of the pharmacy, it actually made him feel threatened, this time Chuntang is really a crouching tiger hidden dragon.
Seeing him stunned, Cheng Mo was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go."
