Chapter 608: Rush to the market
At the end of the day, the young men wanted to sell the owl for money. Of course, those villagers also felt that it was really unfortunate that an owl was calling in the village at night.
After Ye Chen handed the young man two hundred yuan, he carefully took out the injured owl inside the net. Although it may have struggled for a long time because of the net cover last night, and it had multiple injuries on its wings, its feet were still sharp.
Ye Chen held a wooden stick for it to grab, and then slowly stroked its fur to calm it down, Ye Chen followed his grandfather into Shennongjia since he was a child, and naturally he was very familiar with those birds and beasts.
Soon, the owl began to calm down when Ye Chen gently stroked its fur, and looked at Ye Chen with those scared and cute eyes.
Ye Chen took the wooden stick that the owl caught, and then went back with his grandfather, Liao Bingxue's house, these young people saw that Ye Chen was not afraid of the owl's bad luck, and actually spent money to buy it, and felt that he was a little stupid.
Back in the pharmacy on the first floor of the wooden house, Ye Dao glanced at Ye Chen and felt that his nature had not changed, so he went to make breakfast first.
"Ye Chen, this owl is injured, can it be cured?" asked Liao Bingxue.
"Actually, many animals are the same as people. The owl was like that, it called like that in that village, and the villagers there were indeed frightened and disgusted. However, it is innocent because it was born that way. Now that its wings are injured, as long as you use some hemostatic powder, the wound will slowly heal itself. When Ye Chen finished speaking, he had already brought the medicinal powder and gently sprinkled it on its injured wings.
In fact, Liao Bingxue didn't know, but Ye Chen had heard that in a neighboring village, when a villager raised sheep, he was a villager with little culture, but he was able to sell those sheep alive and earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, and other villagers also wanted to raise them, but they couldn't.
Many people didn't know the reason, and Ye Chen later learned that there were more villagers and other villagers had no skills, so he would treat the sheep.
He is a villager with no culture, and he has the same ability as a veterinarian, which is naturally even more surprising.
But, in fact, that's exactly what happened, because it is said that he bought a very old copy of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" at a book stall selling pirated books in the town, and the sheep he usually raised, if there were any symptoms, he himself gave the sheep Chinese medicine according to the medicine recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, and those sheep did not regenerate and survived.
Now the owl is like that, only the wings are injured, it is only frightened, nothing else.
In addition to eating mice, owls also like to eat some smaller birds, chicks, and more. However, now that Ye Chen was here, it was naturally impossible for him to catch mice and other small birds to feed him, so he went to find some earth dragons, that is, dried earthworms, to feed him.
Those earth dragons are dried as medicinal herbs, so you can only take a small bowl, and then put a dozen earth dragons in it, and then put in some water, let the dry earth dragon get wet, and then let this cute owl eat it.
It may have sensed that Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue had no hostility towards it, and now when it stood on the table, it didn't struggle or anything, just shrunk its head there, its eyes wide open.
Now that I'm done with that, I'm fine.
When Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue came out of it, Ye Dao called the two of them to go over for breakfast, which was millet porridge and some pickles.
Pickles are also sent by those villagers, usually Ye Dao rarely eats pickles, it is precisely because of his health reasons, too much salt, easy to let some trees die early, people are like that, eating too much salt, it is also easy to cause other diseases.
After eating breakfast, Ye Dao looked at him and said, "Ye Chen, there are no excessive dishes at home, Miss Liao is a guest, you have to treat her well, ride to the town to buy vegetables!"
If before, Ye Dao was at home alone, or at home with Ye Chen, it would naturally be nothing. However, Ye Dao knew that Liao Bingxue was from the city, and he was afraid that he couldn't stand that kind of hard life.
"Grandpa, I'll just eat these. Liao Bingxue said. However, Ye Chen still wanted to take Liao Bingxue to the town to have a look, after all, it was impossible for him to let Liao Bingxue eat rice and pickles every day.
After he pushed the motorcycle down from it, and then let Liao Bingxue get on the car, Ye Chen rode in the direction of the town.
The dirt road in the village, which was less than one meter wide, in broad daylight, Ye Chen saw more villagers passing by, and Ye Chen greeted them one after another.
Liao Bingxue, who was in the car, also found that when she looked at it in broad daylight, this quiet small village was indeed very beautiful, and there was a crystal clear river not far away, which she had only seen in Xiaowang Village and in this Zhaojia Village.
Coming out of Zhaojia Village, Ye Chen rode a motorcycle for another hour and arrived in this town. Looking at this time period, there are already many nearby villagers in the town who have come to catch the market, and Ye Chen knows that today is the market day.
Ye Chen parked the motorcycle in a paid parking lot, took Liao Bingxue's hand, walked towards the market in the center of the town, looked at her and asked, "Sister Bingxue, what do you like to eat, I think there should be all in this town." ”
"Feel free!" Liao Bingxue said. Since this is the case, Ye Chen took her around the town first. This town, Ye Chen has naturally been here many times since he was a child, and he is already very familiar with it.
Now it was the same way, he found that it was just a long street longer than the small town in Xiaowang Village. Maybe the population is a little bigger, and today is a market day, so there are more people.
It was the first time for Liao Bingxue to be in such a small town, and she thought it was very interesting to watch those villagers rush to the market. When he was being pulled by Ye Chen, he watched in the crowd at the various items that the villagers planted and sold by themselves.
Dustpans, kitchen knives, shovels, fruits picked in the village, vegetables grown by themselves, and small fish caught in the river.
Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue looked at it, except for buying her some snacks from time to time, there was nothing else.
When you come to a grocery market, you can see more and more stalls in addition to some old barbers giving haircuts.
Among them, in some stalls, there are people who buy their own ointments or potions. These ointments or potions are made under the banner of their own ancestral medicine recipes.
From childhood to adulthood, when Ye Chen followed his grandfather to the town to buy things, he saw those farmers selling medicine. In fact, when they usually farm, they also farm, and only on the market day will they collect medicinal herbs from the mountains, or sell their secret ointments and potions.
Back then, the first time Ye Chen saw this kind of person buying medicine, at first, he thought that they were deceiving people, using the sign of traditional Chinese medicine to deceive people.
However, from what he heard from his grandfather, Ye Chen already knew that these people actually really knew a lot of home remedies, and it was still very useful to sell medicines according to those home remedies, or sell the effects of those potions and ointments.
Among them, once, Ye Chen bought three bottles of that potion at a stall, and the color of the potion was very simple, all of them were pure white, or red, or yellow, but it was said that as long as there was pain on the body, it would be good to buy it back and apply it.
That time, Ye Chen bought three bottles by himself, and there were a few children in the village, because they were close to the river, they usually liked to swim in the river, catch fish and touch shrimp, in that case, if they came into contact with those waters a lot, their feet would be painful, and their parents brought them over to let Ye Dao treat.
Ye Chen directly took the three bottles of potion and applied them to their aching feet, and the painful places of those children did not take long to be completely healed, and there was no more pain.
From then on, Ye Chen no longer dared to underestimate those ordinary rural villages who set up stalls to sell ointments or potions. Of course, some of the farmers who bought the medicine sold the ointment that was effective.
However, a large part of it is not effective, but harmful, and may even harm people, normal people will feel uncomfortable when they eat it, and there is no doubt that this part of the people is ruining the reputation of Chinese medicine.
