Rong Bai didn't care what the old doctor was worried about for them, and after settling the money, he went back to clean up the house.

Hengqing was still lying on the couch.

"Your lady, don't run a house." In the evening, Rong Bai did not appear again, and the old doctor brought dinner and went to the inner room.

Hengqing was still lying on the couch, but he had an extra book in his hand.

"Mr. said with a smile, Xiaobai knows how to run a house." Hengqing chuckled and replied.

Does Rong Bai know how to run a house? Do you need to ask the answer? If she didn't run the house, then Heng would have died in the morning. However, Rong Bai's way of running a house is different from that of ordinary women, she doesn't spend it, but finds a way to earn it, Rong Bai is by her side, and Hengqing never worries that she can't survive.

The old doctor looked at Hengqing for a while. And then sighed, it's none of his business! The husband and wife, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what are you worried about here.

Thinking of this, the old doctor was free and easy.

Taking the bowl handed over by the old gentleman, Hengqing lowered his head to eat, not fast, but without the slightest sound. This was not the case with the old doctor, who was eating while reading the book spread out on his lap.

"Huh, this?" Hengqing suddenly frowned.

"I thought you were like those children of the family, you don't eat and sleep." The old doctor was obviously in a very good mood. In the tone, there is still a bit of smugness.

"Jia is not that kind of person." Hengqing shook his head.

It's not a word or something, if you put it two years ago, Hengqing is really such a child of a family. However, after being with Rong Bai for two years, where is there such a store habit. However, what Hengqing was surprised was the contents of the bowl.

Strange things, Hengqing has eaten a lot. What kind of snake meat, wolf meat, and bear meat, now Heng Qing has no pressure to eat in the morning. However, food should always be delicious, just like Wen Wan Rongbai said, eating should be enjoyable.

However, the more this gentleman ate, the more bitter he felt.

"Just this rice?" Hengqing is somewhat acceptable.

"I'm not used to it, it's a good thing." The old gentleman proudly showed off: "The climate of Bashu is hot and humid, although it has given birth to many high-quality herbs, it has also given birth to a lot of poisonous insect miasma. Don't look at it, this Shuzhou City is good, it's just that everyone doesn't care about a small amount of miasma. ”

In fact, the whole of Bashu is an extremely dangerous place. Most of the people who live here are doctors, and the reason is these diseases that have broken out inexplicably.

Hengqing nodded and listened carefully to the old man's admonition.

"Knowledgeable people have to take some pills to detoxify on weekdays, but the medicine is three parts poisonous, or this medicinal diet is better." The more the old gentleman spoke, the more proud he became. Obviously, this medicinal diet was made by someone whom the old gentleman liked very much.

Hengqing didn't eat much. Although there is still a licorice flavor in the medicinal diet, if it is extremely bitter, I will eat it with my eyes closed, and I am afraid that this kind of taste will be bitter or not, and it will be sweet or not.

Although he couldn't eat it, Hengqing still ate a bowl of medicinal food under the proud gaze of the old gentleman. After that, don't stick your chopsticks out of the other bowl.

After a day's rest, Hengqing's body was slightly better. This old gentleman's plaster is really effective, at least now, Hengqing's lower body is no longer uncomfortable. Hengqing, who was not uncomfortable, helped the old man clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and his movements were skillful, which surprised the old man.

Where can I usually see a man who is so skillful in tidying up. This young man must have been tidying up at home.

"Sir, the price of medicinal herbs has risen again!" As soon as he finished cleaning up, the medicine boy outside the house pushed the door and entered. As he entered the door, he spoke: "Sir, what can I do about this, it has risen three times in the past two months." ”

When the old man heard this, he also sighed.

As soon as Hengqing asked, he knew the reason.

This matter has to start with the family that suddenly appeared in Shuzhou City in the summer. Speaking of the family in Shuzhou City, we have to talk about the livelihood of Shuzhou City. Bashu is mountainous, and there are not many places that can be used as fertile fields, and even if the terraces are built, it is difficult to find a suitable water source.

However, it is in this environment that herbs grow better than in other realms. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, this side is the world's medicinal herb planting base. It is some herbs from Yaowang Valley, which are also ordered from Shuzhou City.

Therefore, it is conceivable what is the most profitable business in the whole Bashu. That's right, it's selling medicinal herbs.

Half of this medicinal herb is sold on the white road, and it is sold to the Cai family on weekdays. The other half is from the rivers and lakes. The channel of this Jianghu people is the Tang family, which has been inherited in Bashu for nearly a thousand years.

However, a few years ago, the Tang family was suddenly raided. The heirs are gone, and now, all the herbal medicine business will be returned to the Cai family. Even later, in this Shuzhou City, no one can do the medicinal material business, the first day to do it, the next day the people from the government can come to the door.

"The problem is that two months ago, a merchant surnamed Tang suddenly came to the city. As soon as he entered the city, he set his sights on the medicinal herb business. The old doctor let out a long sigh. There's no way, a business that others don't dare to touch, but can ordinary people touch it?

Moreover, the Tang family was a little too arrogant.

I don't know, what did the Tang family do before, and it can be said that the family has a lot of money. As soon as he entered the city, he began to buy medicinal materials at a high price. Almost all the medicinal materials were charged at the highest prices in history. However, in this way, the Tang family is a thorn in the side of the Cai family.

"Alas, you say, the Tang family has such a ability and background, why can't they do the Cai family!" The old gentleman shook his head dejectedly.

Before the Tang family came, everyone could endure the exploitation of the Cai family. However, as soon as the Tang family came, everyone tasted the sweetness, but within two days of the good thing, the Tang family was gone, and everyone instantly faced a very sad problem. That is, the purchase price of medicinal materials has not fallen, and the selling price has not risen.

Therefore, the people who have the hardest life are those who open medical halls and pharmacies.

"Jia is a newcomer, and I really don't know this." Hengqing replied.

The old doctor was stunned for a moment, and then he knew that he had said too much. For some reason, the young man in front of him just made him feel like he wanted to speak.

Hengqing didn't answer, what could be known in the mouth of this old gentleman, Hengqing already knew everything.

It was dark, Rong Bai hadn't come back yet, but the medical hall had already passed the closing time. Because Hengqing hadn't left yet, the old doctor could only sit in the inner room all the time.

The night of Shuzhou City is far less lively than the capital. Soon, the noise in the streets was no longer heard.

The old doctor yawned.

There was a sudden sound outside the house, Heng Qing raised his head suddenly, and estimated that Rong Bai should be here. However, when the voice outside came, Hengqing was a little disappointed.

The first thing that came was the voice of the medicine boy.

"Ah Yue."

"Grandpa didn't come back late, I'm a little worried." A crisp voice sounded, and then a little girl came in from outside.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw Hengqing lying on the couch.
