After a while, a young man wearing a thick cotton coat and bulky cotton trousers ran over. He wore a red woolen hat on his head. It looked like a female model, but now was not the time to be particular. The young man sniffed and asked:
"Uncle Cui, what's the matter?"
"Guard the stall for me, I'll take the customers to see the goods."
"Okay!"
The young man must be familiar with the stall owner, so he immediately agreed and sat in the seat in front of the man.
The man named Uncle Cui walked out of the trading market with Lianyi and his entourage. He hid the half bag of grain in his arms, and he couldn't see it anyway because he was wearing thick clothes.
"Brother Cui, where do your herbal medicines come from?"
Lianyi asked directly.
“There was a flood where we lived, so everyone hid on the top floor and built a shed on the top floor to survive. One day, a tractor-trailer truck was brought to our site by the water.
Everyone still had some food in their hands at that time, but they didn’t know when the heavy rain would end, so they stopped the trailer truck and opened it to see that it was filled with Chinese herbal medicines, some of which were Chinese patent medicines and some of which were Herbal medicine.
Although it is not food, the medicine is also valuable. It is because of those Chinese patent medicines that we exchanged medicine for food and survived until the rainy season, and then joined another office building that was not completely flooded.
But no one knew how to prepare the herbs, so the last ones were left. The temporary settlement site opened a trading market, so we wanted to try our luck.
This herbal medicine is just medicine in the hands of knowledgeable people, but it is useless in our hands. I think this elder brother understands Chinese medicine. You are right to switch it back, and it will be of great use. "
The man immediately recommended.
" According to you, this herb should have been soaked in water. Does it still have medicinal properties? ”
Lianyi asked calmly.
The man paused, his body became a little stiff, and then explained:
"We dried all the herbs after the rain stopped. The medicinal properties should not be lost. You will know by looking at it. "
Lianyi didn't say anything, but just winked at Liu Zili, who immediately nodded to indicate that he understood.
“Right ahead.”
The man said no more and led people into a courtyard. The four of them attracted the attention of the residents in the office building. The people living here were all people whose houses were flooded. After all, the office building was high, even if it submerged ten people below. There are more than ten floors that can be occupied by people.
This time Sun Weifeng took the lead, Zhao Jia was second, Liu Zili was third, and Lianyi was behind. After all, we were on someone else's territory, so it was better to be careful.
"Brother Cui, are you back? Have you found a buyer?"
A middle-aged woman talked to the man leading the way.
“Well, I want to see the product. If it works, I will replace it. If it doesn’t work, I won’t replace it.”
The man told the truth and did not stop. He led the four people into a room, passed through the open office hall, and then entered the innermost office.
During this period, everyone living in the open office looked at the four of them longingly. They were really hungry! If that pile of grass can be exchanged for food, even if it is a small amount, there will always be something to eat. It is very cold to keep out the cold. Even if the fire is lit, it feels like the cold wind is blowing everywhere.
A group of four people entered the office inside. Looking at the herbs piled randomly, Liu Zili's distressed lips trembled:
"Ouch! How can this... this... be piled up like this! This is really a waste of good things!”
“Brother Liu, go and take a look and pick out the ones that are usable. Forget about the ones that have no medicinal properties. We are not taking advantage of them.”
Ripple said directly.
"Okay, I'll go pick it up right now."
Liu Zili rolled up his sleeves and started picking herbs from the door, the clicking sounds in his mouth never stopping.
The man touched his nose helplessly. No one in their building knew about herbal medicine.
“Brother Cui, find some bags so we can put our things in!”
Zhao Jia said to the man.
“Okay!”
The man immediately agreed, which meant changing. He immediately turned around and went out to find the bag. People outside immediately gathered around and heard that there was something in the pile. Moldy grass can really be exchanged for food. I immediately started to plunder the bags, hoping that this group of people could exchange all the grass for food.
At this time, Sun Weifeng approached Lianyi and lowered his voice and said: "When we left the market just now, we were targeted by someone. It was probably the helpers found by those three people."
"I know! It's not Xuanfeng who covets me!"
Lianyi said very firmly, not forgetting to rub Xuanfeng's head.
". They probably also want to know that we have food."
Sun Weifeng continued, and he stopped talking about the whirlwind.
"Don't worry, try to replace all the food we bring with herbal medicine. If they want to intercept them, they will stop them, and we will accompany them to the end. Whoever has the biggest fist will listen now."
Lianyi said calmly.
Four hours later, Liu Zili picked out four sacks of usable herbs. He looked at the remaining moldy and hairy herbs with regret and sighed. The quality of this batch of herbs was very good, and they were just wasted. .
"Brother Liu, can you pick out some more?"
Zhao Jia asked.
“I tried my best, but I can only pick out these, and after I go back, I have to process them twice.”
Liu Zili told the truth.
"Guys, I also have a set of surgical equipment here, do you want it? It was also salvaged by us along with the car."
The man looked at the room full of herbs and only picked the other one. Si Sacks, obviously a little anxious, said immediately.
“Okay, let’s take a look.”
“Hey! Wait a moment!”
The man went out and came in carrying a box made by Lu. After opening it, he pushed it in front of Liu Zili.
“This is a set of portable surgical supplies, which is more than enough for a minor surgery.”
Liu Zili said after reading it.
“Okay, let’s change them together.”
Lianyi waved.
Several people took out the food on their backs, including rice, flour, corn flour, and soybeans. The items were quite miscellaneous, but they managed to collect twenty kilograms and handed them to the man.
"Guys, can you add some more? This is really too little."
The man rubbed his hands and said.
"Brother, just be content with what you have! We only exchange a bunch of useless grass for food because we understand traditional Chinese medicine. Others will not be so generous."
Sun Weifeng made a show of it. White Fang patted the man on the shoulder and said.
"Okay!"
The other party finally compromised. After all, what they said was right.
After collecting the food, the man sent Lianyi and his party out of their territory, and then hurried back to the office building.
The four of them tied up the four sacks of herbs and put them on the cart, then slowly dragged them back. After leaving the office building, the four of them were surrounded by a group of people, among whom the most jumping person The one who took off her clothes was Xiaoxiao, the girl who was scratched by the whirlwind before.
"Brother Qiang, they hurt me and took my cat. You must seek justice for me."
The man called Brother Qiang was short and fat, but with a bulging waist, he looked like he was hiding something. He glanced at the four people, showed his big yellow teeth, and said very arrogantly:
"Join my team and I will put past the past!"
"Brother Qiang!"
Xiaoxiao was obviously unwilling, but Brother Qiang just glanced at him and shut up. (End of this chapter)
