The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 58

[Chapter 58 Pink Eye is Everywhere]

“That’s right! The ‘Heart-Saving Pill’, except for Miss Gu, is also in Ding Mansion! After all, whether that little girl is a disciple of Yaosheng, you can find out if you go to Ding Mansion.” The short and fat man showed a clear expression.

Zhao Minglin shook his head slowly and said, “You’re wrong! Whether that little girl is a disciple of Yaosheng is not that important anymore. I have a hunch that within five years, her achievements in pharmaceuticals will definitely be no less than that. Baili Great Pharmacist. If we can win her, Baicaotang will become the leader of the medicine world again!” Gu Ye, who had

completed today’s shopping task, suddenly felt a chill down his spine on the way back to Jimintang with his brother. . She frowned, and with her amazing intuition in her previous life, someone must be plotting against her.

“Brother, if someone surnamed Zhao talks to you in the future, don’t reveal any news about our family.” Gu Ye couldn’t help but told his brother.

Gu Ming asked suspiciously: “You mean, those people I met at the jewelry store today? The mother and daughter don’t seem to get along well, and the short and fat man also has a cunning face. However, the big Zhao Young master, please be kind and courteous.”

Gu Ye stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of him, saying, “On the contrary. As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn’t bark, this Young Master Zhao is definitely not a simple person. Like us Such a temperament with guts to the end, he even helped him count the money when he sold it! Therefore, we have to stay away from such people.”

Gu Ming nodded, agreeing: “That’s right. I heard that Baicaotang is Biji. Mintang also has a famous pharmacy, how could the eldest young master of their family be a simple character? The reason why they are so polite to us is just the medicine made by your sister.” While speaking, the

man who came to Jimintang backyard. Yan Qiutong, who took two medicines and rested on the kang, no longer coughed so much, and the high fever that had tormented her for two days also subsided a lot. The old doctor who was sitting in the hall of Jimin Hall was amazed at her recovery ability after re-diagnosing her pulse.

Gu Ye took her temperature with her hands, and she still had a low fever, so she added another dose to the medicine she drank at night.

In the evening, considering Aunt Yan’s current physical condition and the hospitality of the shopkeeper, the Gu Ye brothers and sisters took a rest in the guest room in the backyard of Jimin Hall.

Early the next morning, Aunt Yan’s fever completely subsided, her spirit was much better, and she ate two bowls of porridge for breakfast. Gu Ye was afraid that Aunt Yan’s weak body would not be able to support the long journey for a whole day, so she wanted to leave her in Jimintang to recuperate, and the shopkeeper would take care of her. However, Aunt Yan insisted on going on the road with her, saying that she was much better.

Seeing her firm attitude, coupled with her confidence in her medicine, Gu Ye agreed. After hanging four baskets full of New Year’s goods on the back of the mule, and supporting Aunt Yan on a sturdy mule, the two brothers and sisters stepped on the way home in the morning light.

Aunt Jiu’s family had been waiting at the town entrance for a long time. Seeing that the bamboo basket full of grain on Uncle Ninth’s back was very heavy, Gu Ming took off some light-weight New Year’s goods from the mule’s back, and made room to put the heavy New Year’s goods on Uncle Nine’s.

Two mules, each capable of carrying more than 200 catties. One was carrying the thin Aunt Yan and the rice and noodles bought by Gu Ye, and the other was putting the other New Year’s goods on top of it, and it was more than enough to put Ninth Uncle’s New Year’s goods on it. Gu Ming was reluctant to let her sister get tired, and urged her to ride up too.

With two loaded mules, the group traveled lightly, and the speed was naturally much faster. Although the departure was a little late, on the mountain-like road, he quickly caught up with the large troops in the village.

Seeing the fat mule that Gu Ming was leading, I don’t know who it was, and said sourly: “Gu Ming, your family has made a fortune? Not to mention buying two mules after so many years of purchasing. Just these mules, At least a dozen or so?”

Gu Ming noticed that there seemed to be something in the eyes of the villagers, and hurriedly said: “These two mules were borrowed from us by the shopkeeper of Jimintang.”

“Jimintang? They How could I borrow a mule for you?” It was Li Zhuzi’s daughter-in-law who spoke, Li Zhuzi had a close relationship with the village chief, and his daughter-in-law always felt that she was superior to others in the village, and she could not see that others were better than her.

After all, Gu Ming was a child under 12, he couldn’t hide the pride in his eyes, looked at Gu Ye and said, “The medicine my sister made, the shopkeeper of Jimintang thinks it’s good, so let us give them to them every month. We bought a lot of New Year’s goods, and the uncle, the shopkeeper of Jimintang, is a good person, so he lent us the mules. I will return them to them when I come to town next time.”

Li Zhuzi’s daughter-in-law glanced at the goods on the mules. She smacked her lips and said, “Little Ye’er is really capable! You sold a lot of money for that medicine, right? You just bought so much for the rice noodles.”

Aunt Jiu sighed deliberately and said, “These New Year’s goods are not just for the two children. , and we also have a share. You said that these two children really can’t live. All the money for selling medicines is bought for New Year’s goods, and I don’t know how to save it.”

Li Zhuzi’s daughter-in-law listened, and her face became slightly better. She curled her lips and said, “It’s because Gu Ye’er has the ability. These New Year’s goods are worth two or three taels of silver, right? Anyway, they have to deliver goods to Jimintang next month, so they are still short of silver. ?”

Liu San’er, who had a good relationship with Gu Qiao, purposely amplified his voice and said, “Aiya! Don’t be deceived by these two children!”

“They sell medicine, and Jimintang gives money, how could they be deceived? You? I can’t see how good people are!” Another villager shook his head and laughed.

Liu San’er looked at the two brothers and sisters and said, “Have you two signed a contract with someone?”

Seeing the two brothers and sisters nodding, he said with a good look on his face, “We’re in the mountains, and when the winter begins, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow. If you can’t get out of the mountain when the medicine is delivered next month, then you are in breach of the contract and you will have to pay double the money.” When the

ninth uncle heard this, he looked at Gu Ye worriedly, and asked, “Hurry up Take out the contract and let the seventh brother show you if there is any content about compensation for breach of contract.”

Gu Ye looked at Liu Shi, who was gloating at the misfortune, and said to Gu Mo with a smile: “Ninth uncle, don’t worry. The church has branches in many prefectures and counties, and it is a big business. In the eyes of others, our little money is similar to mosquito legs. How can we be deceived by others?”

“That’s right! Jimintang has always had a good reputation, and the old man has no deception, so he shouldn’t lie?” Gu Mo was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn’t make much effort. He was expecting Gu Xiao to come back quickly. Fifth Uncle is away, he feels that he has a great responsibility!

“Ride a big horse! Sister, I want to ride a big horse too!” Xiao Zhuang rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Gu Ye riding on a mule, with an envious look in his eyes. In the past few days, Liu Shi was so tired that he didn’t want to say a word, and he never brainwashed the little guy. In addition, Gu Ye gave him a delicious pancake, and his attitude towards Gu Ye was much better, unlike the “losing money” that he used to take one bite at a time.

Gu Qiao and Liu Shi each carried a heavy basket of New Year’s goods on their backs, and Gu Qiao had to hold a chubby little Zhuang. After walking for a long time, he began to pant. He cast his expectant eyes on Gu Ye on the mule’s back.

Although Gu Ming was very disappointed with Gu Qiao’s father, Xiao Zhuang was his younger brother after all. What did the child know, all the things he did in the past were pushed by the Liu family.

Gu Ming was slightly moved when he received his sister’s understanding gaze. He turned to Xiao Zhuang and said, “You ride a big horse with your elder sister. You have to listen to your elder sister’s words, don’t move around, and don’t scold elder sister casually. If you can do it, not only will you be allowed to ride a horse, but you will also be rewarded with a piece of white sugar cake to eat. ”

Yes, yes! I’ll be obedient, I won’t curse, I won’t move… I’m hungry, can I eat cakes now?” Before Xiao Zhuang woke up, he was carried away, his belly was small. I’m hungry.

Gu Ye took Xiaozhuang, let him sit in his arms, took out a meat bun from the bag, and said, “The bun is still hot, so eat the bun cushion first. My brother said that only good children can have white sugar cakes. Eat!”

Xiao Zhuang, who was about to eat the white sugar cake with a grin, opened his mouth and took the bun reluctantly. When he ate the meat buns with thin skin and many fillings, all his unhappy emotions were forgotten. He ate two meat buns the size of an adult fist.

After eating, Xiao Zhuang sat on the back of the mule and looked around excitedly at first. After the freshness passed, he started to yawn and leaned into Gu Ye’s arms and fell asleep.

In the evening, I still rested in the large yard in the middle of the night. Because the two families bought a lot of New Year’s goods, Gu Mo was worried, so he gritted his teeth and spent two people’s money, and went into the house to stay for one night. There are two adults staring at it, and some people with ulterior motives will not dare to play the idea of two children’s New Year’s goods.

The return journey was two full days of mountain road. Gu Ye and the others had mules to carry the goods. Most of the villagers were carrying heavy New Year’s goods, and their footsteps were getting heavier and heavier. When we returned to the village, it was almost midnight.

When we went there, many people helped the brother and sister share the weight of the medicinal materials. On the way back, Gu Ming also took turns helping the folks who had helped them carry the New Year’s gifts. In the last dozen or so miles of mountain road, Gu Ye got off the back of the mule, let go of the mule and horse, and helped the villagers who couldn’t carry the goods on their backs. Even Li Zhuzi’s daughter-in-law was exposed, and she couldn’t say the sour words of Gu Ye’s brothers and sisters.

Back home, Gu Ye first settled Aunt Yan in his room. After rushing the road for two days in a row, the weak she would have fallen long ago if she hadn’t been supported by Gu Ye’s medicine. Exhausted, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the kang.

Yao Sheng heard the movement, put on his clothes and walked out of the house, saw Gu Ming carrying things down from the mule’s back, and also came to help. Not seeing his apprentice, Yaosheng asked with concern: “Where’s Little Leaf? You won’t throw her in the town, right?”

“Master! It’s only been five days, and you miss me?” Gu Ye hurriedly stopped the master , put the snacks bought for him into his arms. Yao Sheng was already seventy years old, and she was reluctant to let her master do heavy work.
