The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 106

[Chapter 106 Yan Mink Fur]

Besides, the food shopping team led by Gu Xiao, with medicinal wine to keep out the cold, slid to the town in one go, and it was still dark at this time! The villagers praised Gu Xiao, who was the first to “think up” the idea of snowboarding.

A group of people skied into the town. There were hardly any pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides closed their doors early. When I arrived at the grain store, the shop was already closed. Gu Xiao knocked on the door of the grain store, and the shopkeeper said impatiently: “What are you knocking, it’s already closed, if you want to buy grain, come back tomorrow.”

Gu Xiao accompanied a smile: “The shopkeeper, we are from the mountains, in After a day’s drive in the heavy snow, I have to go back tomorrow morning. You, do it easily!” The

shopkeeper of the grain store waved his hand, just as he was about to drive people away, Zhao Mingxi, the young shopkeeper of Baicaotang not far away, came over . He was attracted by the strange “transportation” of Qingshan Village.

Zhao Mingxi recognized Gu Xiao, bowed his hands to him, said Happy New Year, and said to the grain store shopkeeper, “It’s not easy for these folks, shopkeeper Li, you have to work harder, close the meeting at night, and sell the grain to Let them.”

Shopkeeper Li knew that Baicaotang had a strong background, so he had to give him a face: “Well, for the sake of Shopkeeper Zhao, if you need any food, please tell me quickly.” He shouted at Neitang, Call the lad to help weigh the grain.

The heavy snow not only blocked the way out of Qingshan Village, but also blocked the way for grain stores to transport grain. Coarse grains were originally five cents a pound, but now nine cents, the shopkeeper sold Zhao Mingxi’s face to an acquaintance at eight cents a pound.

The eight young and middle-aged people who came here could carry a maximum of 60 pounds each, and their movements would be limited. In addition to 60 catties of coarse grains, Gu Xiao also purchased 50 catties of refined grains for himself. Carrying more than 100 catties on his back, he moved freely as if he was carrying an empty basket. This made those young people feel ashamed.

During the period of weighing the food, Gu Xiao ran to Jimintang and delivered the medicinal materials and a packet of children’s medicine.

The wind and snow were severe and cold for several days, and many people in the town and nearby were infected with the cold, and the road was blocked by the heavy snow, and the medicinal materials from outside could not be transported in. The shopkeeper Fang was helpless due to the lack of medicinal materials. Gu Xiao was like a timely rain. In Jimin Hall.

Shopkeeper Fang saw that all the medicines he brought were for the treatment of symptoms such as wind-cold and cough, and these were exactly what they needed urgently. That attitude, old enthusiasm, almost didn’t offer Gu Xiao as a bodhisattva.

At this moment, a woman with a child came to the store, and the simple and sturdy man behind her should be her man. The child is about four or five years old. He caught a cold because of playing with the cold, and the fever was very serious. She is from the Shili Store outside the town. She heard that Jimintang has medicines for children, which are very effective and not bitter. She came here after walking in the snow all day.

The shopkeeper Fang smiled bitterly and said: “Sister-in-law, our family’s children’s medicine has been out of stock for several days. Or… let our doctor take a look at the child and prescribe some decoction to take home?”

“Don’t take bitter medicine! Mother-” The little guy burst into tears. It turned out that the baby had been sick for more than a day or two. There is also an old doctor in their village. The little guy who prescribed the medicine pinched his nose and drank it for two days. He was afraid of drinking it! It was his mother who coaxed him to say that there was sugar water that could cure diseases in the town, so he obediently asked his mother to carry it over.

“Is it really gone? We can give more money.” It was the child’s father who spoke. The family of three wears 70% to 80% new cotton-padded clothes, and it seems that the family’s economic situation should be good.

The shopkeeper Fang shook his head and said: “It’s not about money or money, the key is that there is no medicine…”

Gu Xiao took out the small cloth bag hanging around his neck and handed it to the shopkeeper Fang: “Manager Fang, this is Ye’er asking me to The one I brought here is said to be medicine for children. Look at this child, right?” The

shopkeeper Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly took it and opened it carefully. There were more than a dozen fist-sized porcelain bottles, which were antipyretic medicines for children. , Children’s cold medicine, children’s anti-inflammatory medicine and children’s cough granules.

“That’s great! Uncle Gu, you delivered this medicine too timely.” The shopkeeper Fang said to the parents of the child, “You are lucky! If you had come two days earlier, even if the price was exorbitant, I wouldn’t be able to make the medicine for children. Go, let the doctor show the child!”

“Don’t take bitter medicine!” The child twisted and twisted in his mother’s arms, crying like a small cat.

The shopkeeper Fang said in a soft voice: “Okay, okay, okay! You obediently let the old man take a look, and I will give you sweet potions, sweet water that can cure diseases!” The

little guy was taken suspiciously to the old gentleman’s office before. After diagnosis and treatment, it was diagnosed as a fever caused by a cold. Shopkeeper Fang opened two porcelain bottles with his own hands, scooped two small spoons of antipyretic medicine with a small porcelain spoon, and a spoonful of medicinal powder in the cold medicine.

The little guy resisted a little at first, pursing his lips and refused to drink. When he licked the sweet medicinal liquid on his lips, he became very cooperative. He didn’t need his mother to feed him. He took a few mouthfuls of the bowl to drink the medicinal liquid cleanly, and said, “It’s delicious, I want it!

” This is medicine, if you take too much, your stomach will hurt!” The shopkeeper Fang frightened the little guy. Then he said to the work in the shop, “Arrange them to live in the West Hospital.”

It turned out that in order to ensure that every medicine can be used on the child and prevent anyone from using the child’s medicine, Jimintang gave the next yard to the hospital. Bought it to provide free accommodation for children and parents who travel far away.

However, take care of what you eat. You can bring your own food and make it yourself with money for firewood; you can also pay for food. The couple brought dry food and warmed it up for dinner in the kitchen, and the store provided free boiled water.

“That’s right!” The shopkeeper Fang took out a bag and put it in front of Gu Xiao and said, “It was brought back by Miss Gu’s master.”

Gu Xiao opened it and saw that it was a set of sweaters. I don’t know what kind of fur it is made of. The whole body is snow-white, soft and light, and it should be very warm when worn closely. He stroked the soft fur lightly, and was surprised to find that the fur was actually warm, as if stroking on a living creature.

He heard that in the northern part of the Yan Kingdom, there is an animal called “Yan Mink”, whose fur can automatically heat up and has a good effect of keeping out the cold. However, this kind of sable is very fast, as fast as lightning, and it is difficult to catch. Clothes made of mink fur are almost impossible to find.

Yaosheng, his old man, must have heard about the snow disaster in the north, and he was afraid that his precious disciple would freeze, so he made such a set of close-fitting sable clothes. Gu Xiao once again sighed that his granddaughter worshipped a good master and treated her well. There was also a sense of crisis in my heart – I, the grandfather, was actually compared by my granddaughter’s master.

no! Absolutely not! ! The little girl kept mumbling that she wanted to buy a house in the capital, or…he gave the house that the emperor of the capital gave to his granddaughter? What? What about grandson? He is a boy, if he can’t earn a house, what is he talking about to make achievements and honor his ancestors?

have to! Dare to love this grandson is picked up, the granddaughter is his own!

The money for the medicine was settled, and the shopkeeper graciously retained it. The villagers were all waiting in the grain store. Gu Xiao declined the kindness of the shopkeeper Fang and returned to the grain store with an empty basket. The food has been weighed, Gu Xiao picked up his share and put it in the basket, and went to the inn with the villagers.

Gu Wen scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: “Uncle Fifth, let’s make do with one night at the big car shop. The inn requires at least two rooms, which is a lot of money!”

“The big car shop is not in good condition. Everyone has been tired for a day, and they have to rush back tomorrow, how can they not rest? I will pay for the hotel room!” The ten years of exile in the frontier did not wear off the arrogance of Gu Xiao.

“Then why are you embarrassed?” Gu Wen looked at the villagers and had to refuse again.

Gu Xiao interrupted what he was going to say next, and carried him to the opposite inn: “Stop babbling, it’s a little manly? In the evening, Uncle Five invited everyone to eat hot noodle soup, and it was very hot. Huh, get a good night’s sleep, there will be a tough battle tomorrow!”

When we came, everyone’s backs were empty, and when they went back, they added dozens to hundreds of pounds of weight, which must have been more difficult than when they came. To have a better resting environment, everyone can’t ask for it. However, the simple mountain man felt a little embarrassed that he had taken advantage of Gu Wushu.

Li Xiashan, the second son of the village chief, came up with a compromise: “Why don’t we divide the cost of accommodation and food into the grain, and then the family will pay an extra pen or two. I don’t know when this snow will be able to Stop, even if it stops, it will take some time for the younger brother to melt, and I will definitely have to come out to buy once or twice, so we can’t let the person in charge of purchasing give labor and money, right?

” Son, I agreed. Gu Wen frowned and asked, “What if some people don’t want to pay more?”

“Then let them go out to buy food themselves!” Li Xiashan made a strong decision.

The conditions of the inn are also poor. The villagers chose a large kang room, a house with a row of large kangs on each side. Eight or nine people lived on two kangs, and they did not feel crowded.

The kang was burning hot, and Gu Xiao put half of the wine bag left on the kang head to warm it up. When Gu Wen saw it, he put his bag on it and said with a grin, “Uncle Fifth, this medicinal wine made by Xiaoye Yezi really works. I’m still sweating all the way here!”

Li Xiashan waited for the wine to warm up. After taking a sip, he smacked his lips and said, “It’s really good wine! The liquor that the third brother brought back from Yancheng is not as strong as this wine!”

“Second brother Li, drink it at your leisure! When you go back tomorrow , you have to rely on it to warm your body! If yours is finished, don’t try to rob us! I have to save it and go back to my father to taste it.” Gu Wen is the eldest son of the third grandmother, very filial a child.
