The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 54

[Chapter 54 Buying on the Street]

“Oh…it’s so pitiful! The chef of a well-known restaurant must be very good at cooking. It’s a pity that she’s too sick, you see she coughs so badly, it can’t be tuberculosis!”

“Tuberculosis? That’s contagious! Brother, let’s not join in the fun, if it is spread, we can only wait at home to die. I still have a family waiting for me to take care of, so I’ll go first.”

The two not far behind looked at each other and left one after another. However, Gu Ye was successfully attracted by the comment of “good cooking skills”. The woman’s illness must have been pneumonia caused by a cold that was not treated in time. Pneumonia may be a deadly serious illness in this era of no antibiotics, but to her, it’s just a matter of a few doses of medicine.

At present, she has at least 200 taels of income every month, and there is no pressure to support herself more. The point is, she really doesn’t want to wrong herself any more. She eats those unbearable foods every day, and she is about to suffer from depression!

“Two taels of silver, does anyone buy it? A chef with excellent craftsmanship, as long as twenty taels of silver, you can buy a little girl casually, and it’s more than this price!” The burly man glared at the woman His eyes were full of ferocity. The onlookers said that if this woman hadn’t been bought, she would never have survived tonight.

When Gu Ye saw the big man, he swung the whip in his hand, and was about to slap it on the woman, and quickly said, “Stop! I bought this man!!”

The big man looked at the inconspicuous padded jacket on her. Glancing at him, he frowned and said impatiently: “Go! Where’s the little girl from, go play! If you want to buy someone, let your lord come over!!

” Isn’t that enough?” Gu Ye took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, weighing more than two taels, and threw it towards the big man.

The burly man took it in his hands, shook his head, nodded and said: “The money and the goods are gone. Little girl, it’s not that my Wang San is not moral, I’ll give you a last chance to consider. After the people take it away, it’s your family that will come. , don’t even think about me returning your money!”

“Don’t think about it, the master of two taels of silver, I can still do it. Uncle, can I take the person away?” Seeing the big man nodding his head, Gu Ye walked to the woman’s side and grabbed the person with her arm. Get up.

The woman had a violent cough, and after she calmed down a little, a look of despair appeared on her haggard face: “Girl, my body seems to be dying. You should take the money back and leave, cough, cough…”

“Auntie, You are a minor illness, and it will take a long time to become so serious. I just came out of Jimin Hall, and I know the shopkeeper there. I will take you there and let the doctor show you.”

Gu Ye treats pneumonia in his hands . Yes, it is the stock of medicines from the previous life. If it comes out like this, I have to find a way to cover it up. Simply, let the doctor in Jimintang prescribe some medicine, and then she will move her feet in it when she decocts the medicine.

Just when Gu Ye supported the woman, joined his brother, and walked towards Jimintang. In a remote alley at the corner of the street, the burly man said to the two inconspicuous men: “The task is completed, this is the twenty taels given by the woman, and the twenty taels that the little girl bought people. Do you have an opinion?”

“Of course I have no opinion! We only said a few words behind the little girl’s back, but brother, you have been blowing the cold wind for more than an hour, and you should have taken the big head.” One of them turned out to be silver.

The other person collected the money and asked inexplicably, “Brother, what do you think the woman’s purpose is? The little girl doesn’t look like a rich lady, why is she trying to get close to her? Flush with cold water and freeze myself to the point of death. I don’t think she’s pretending to be sick, and there won’t be any accidents, right?”

“What are you doing with so much? Within the range. Let’s go back to Yancheng and have a good meal. There is not even a decent restaurant in this broken place!” The figures of the big man and the two gradually disappeared on the street corner.

In the Jimin Hall, the shopkeeper Fang was in the shop, sorting out the medicines he received from Gu Ye. Seeing that the Gu Ye brothers and sisters came in with a woman who was described as embarrassed, he hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter, this is?”

“This aunt is very ill, please take a look at the old doctor!” Gu Ye helped the woman to sit on the stool. The old doctor prescribed medicine for the patient in front of him, and the man grabbed the medicine, only then did he free his hand to check the woman’s pulse.

The old doctor’s expression became dignified, and it took a long while before he took back his pulse-diagnosing hand and sighed: “Your disease is a cold attacking the lungs, it has been delayed for a long time, and the phlegm is blocking the lungs… The old man gave you a prescription, can you protect it? It depends on your luck!”

“Girl, the old doctor is not sure about my illness, so don’t waste your money.” The woman coughed and tried her best to prevent Gu Ye from taking the medicine.

“Aunt Yan,” Gu Ye had already learned her surname from the woman, and persuaded, “If you don’t try, how will you know it won’t work? Go back with me, my master’s medical skills are very good. I used him to teach me last time. The first aid method, saved a patient suffering from a heart attack. Maybe he has a way to cure your disease!” The

old doctor nodded and said, “This girl is right. See, she pulled a dead patient back from the palace of the king of hell. Although your illness is serious, maybe it is nothing in the hands of a genius doctor.”

Gu Ye saw the young man brought tea and came in from the inner hall , got up and went up to take the tea. When everyone’s attention was on the patient, she quickly took a bottle of medicine for pneumonia from the space. This medication is more effective than antibiotics and does not have any side effects.

She poured this colorless potion into the tea and gave it to Aunt Yan. She said, “Drink some hot tea to warm up your body.”

Yan Qiutong gave it to her master to complete the task, and she also gave it up. According to the news, the target character is knowledgeable in medicine. In order to act realistically, she took a cold shower three nights in a row on the way here. In order to make the disease appear more serious, she has not eaten much for three days. This morning, it froze in the cold wind for more than an hour. She felt that most of her life had been lost!

No, the task given by the master hasn’t been completed yet, so she can’t die. After taking the tea, she poured it all in one breath. The warm tea poured down her stomach, and her cold body was filled with warmth. I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt a warmth in her stomach, rushing to her body. Even the seriously ill body is much lighter.

“Manager Fang, can you let Aunt Yan rest in your backyard and take her back after we finish shopping?” After such a delay, I don’t know what will happen to Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt. Their brothers and sisters have to hurry up with them Reunion, Zhang Luo needs the New Year’s goods.

Given how much the three masters attached great importance to the little girl, the shopkeeper would naturally not refuse. Not only did he place the woman properly and let the young man decoct her, he also took a new set of cotton-padded clothes his mother-in-law had just made from home and asked her to put it on.

When Gu Ye and Gu Ming met Ninth Uncle and the others on the street, the three members of Ninth Uncle’s family were going crazy looking for them. Facing the kind nagging of the ninth uncle and his wife, the brother and sister sincerely admitted their mistake and explained the reason for being late.

I heard that Gu Ye spent 22 taels of silver to buy a sick servant, and even gave her money to see a doctor. Aunt Jiu wanted to say something, but finally held back. She sighed and said, “That’s a pitiful person. The Buddha said: Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, you are right! However, for this delay, we have to stay in the town for one more day. Gu Li’er smiled and said, ”

Mother, it’s rare for us to come to town. Naturally, we have to go shopping more. There are so many New Year’s goods to buy. How can one day be enough?”

Ninth Aunt stretched out her index finger and tapped on her head. , said: “What you said is very light, you don’t need money to live in a restaurant in the town! When you can’t get the money, I will sell you to pay off the debt.

” Still not willing. Isn’t that right, Dad?” Gu Lier stuck out her tongue at her own house, seeking comfort from her father.

Gu Mo nodded and said, “Yes, my daughter is so sensible, capable, and considerate. No amount of money will sell it!” Gu Lier smiled contentedly.

Is this the normal way parents and daughters get along? With such a wonderful father like Gu Qiao, I’m afraid it’s really hard to find a second one in this world. Gu Ye looked at Gu Lier with some envy.

Gu Ming gently pulled on her sister’s arm and said with a slightly sour nose: “Sister, you still have me and grandpa. I will treat you even more in the future!”

“In the future, when you marry your sister-in-law, will you always treat me? ?” Gu Ye retracted his gaze, smiled at his brother, and asked in a slightly joking tone.

There was heat on Gu Ming’s face, but he still nodded firmly: “Well! No one is as important as a sister, even… your sister-in-law!”

“Who’s sister-in-law? Gu Ming, you want to marry at such a young age. ?” Gu Li’er teased Gu Ming with a smile after listening to half of the words. Seeing his face getting redder, Gu Li’er laughed louder and louder.

“Sister Li, what are you going to buy for the New Year? Tell us about it!” Gu Ye hurriedly came to rescue his brother and changed the subject.

Gu Li’er thought about it seriously, and said, “I don’t know very well! I only know that I need to buy white noodles, meat, and dumplings. I also need to buy yellow rice, red beans, and sticky bean buns. Also, buy more meat and make bacon. I can eat it for a whole winter.”

“Sister Li, why are you talking about eating, what about the rest?” Gu Ye asked.

“Well…if the family conditions are better, I will buy cloth to make new clothes. In addition, buy red paper to write couplets and cut window grilles, ask the Lord of the Kitchen, buy incense candles, candy, snacks, and worship gods…I only remember this. More. Otherwise, you can ask my mother again?” Gu Li’er racked her brains and only wanted to come up with this.
