At this moment, the imp and difficult Dieyi is waiting for his master in the carriage. As soon as the young man got into the car, he poured out a little bit of the gold sore medicine and looked at it in the palm of his hand, looked at it for a while, and sighed: "It's cheaper than that in the big pharmacy, but it's still too expensive." "

Dieyi said cautiously: "The golden sore medicine is nothing more than those things, and the price is naturally about the same." If you buy more, you might be able to get a little cheaper......"

The young man sighed lightly: "The amount of silver allocated by the imperial court to the Northwest Army is just that, and at this price, even if it is a few points cheaper, it can't buy much." He carefully poured the palm medicine powder back into the paper packet and shook the bottle of medicinal wine again, "And this one, it's more expensive than gold sore medicine, and I can't buy a few bottles." "

Dieyi lowered her head and stopped talking. The young man looked at the bottle of medicinal wine, and said to himself: "Golden injury, paralysis, the two major diseases of the Northwest Army......" He was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was still a pack of medicine, "Take that packet and I'll take a look." "

Dieyi pinched it out with two fingers in disgust: "Childe, don't look at it, look at how much dust has fallen on this medicine bag, and I don't know how long no one has cared about it." If I had it, I would have fallen back on that guy's face at that time, this is to see that you have the intention to use it as shoddy. Next time you go shopping, you can't be so eager that people can see it at a glance......"

She babbled and said, the young man just laughed, opened the dusty paper bag and looked at it, and handed it back to her: "Go back and try it together, if it can be of some use, it is better to be cheap." "

Dieyi nodded casually, didn't pay attention to it, casually stuffed the medicine bag back, and talked about other things. The carriage returned to the inn in her joke, and as soon as she got out of the car, the guy greeted her with a smile on his face: "Shen Gongzi, are you back?" Just now, our shopkeeper also said that the kitchen sent some fresh anchovies, do you want to steam one at night? "

He smiled very attentively: This Shen Shu Shen Gongzi is the favorite one of those who open the door to do business. There are only five people in the line, and they have a small cross-courtyard, clean □□, rich clothes, generous shots, the most rare and very kind, but unfortunately the maids around them are beautiful, but they are too difficult.

Sure enough, Dieyi pursed her mouth and asked first: "But Taihu anchovy?" Mona's pond and river came to fool our son. "

"How can this be?" The guy lowered his waist, "Our inn never does this kind of thing to fool guests, isn't that a self-smashing signboard?" What's more, Shen Gongzi looks like someone who has seen it, if the little one brings another fish, how can he hide it from Gongzi? "

"That's pretty much it." Dieyi snorted, raised her chin, and threw a small piece of broken silver to him, "In addition to the anchovy, bring up a few fresh vegetables, don't have big fish and meat, make a few of your Ulva and Pucai here, if the taste is not good, I won't follow!" "

"Okay, girl, don't worry." The guy took the silver, bowed his waist and sent Shen Shu and the others into the small cross courtyard, and rolled his eyes when he turned his head. Although this butterfly-clothed girl was born beautiful, her temper really didn't dare to compliment, if it weren't for the silver reward, she really didn't want to serve. Looking at the young man Shen, that kind of harmony with a majestic look is the real son.

Shen Shu entered the small cross courtyard and went to the wing room first, where a young guard was limping and walking slowly, and when he saw him come in, he was busy saluting: "Childe-"

Shen Shu stopped his hand, frowning slightly: "Didn't you tell you to rest, why are you leaving again?" What about cicada clothes? "

"Childe-" A green-clothed maid came in with a plate, "Childe is back, but he will be scolded fifteen times." The slave maid said that he should rest for a long time, and as soon as he went to make him some soup, he got up and walked around, really! She is slightly older than Dieyi, although she is not as beautiful as Dieyi, she is also dignified and delicate, especially when she speaks gently and gently, although she is complaining, she can't hear the tone of complaining.

"That's it!" Dieyi came in after him and stuffed the medicinal wine into Fifteen's arms, "Childe went to buy you bone-setting wine here, and you tossed it here, it was really a waste of Childe's heart!" "

Fifteen touched his head and smiled: "I remember that Dr. Lu said in the past that if you sprain, it is not good to sit still all the time, but it is better to get up and move, so I ......"

Dieyi snorted: "Come on, I've bought all the bone-setting wine, and the guy boasted about Haikou and said that it would be fine for a few days." You can use it quickly, rub it well, if it doesn't get better in two or three days, I'll go and smash the medicine hall! "

Cicada Yi frowned slightly, and said softly: "Illness is like a thread, how can you smash other people's medicine halls." "

Dieyi pouted: "Sister doesn't know, that's the Jiang family's medicine hall!" "

Cicada Yi was stunned for a moment, and saw that Shen Shu had already returned to his room, so he hurriedly pulled Dieyi and said, "But the Jiang family who cured the virtuous concubine Niangniang at the beginning?" Why did you go to that house and buy it? "

Dieyi pouted: "It's not that one, it's which one!" Originally, he didn't want to buy his medicine, but the son wanted to go to see the Jiang family. Who knew that when I asked the people on the street, they all said that this bone-setting wine was the Jiang family's good, so I went to buy it. My sister also knew that Gongzi had always been worried about the medicine of those sergeants in the northwest, and I heard that the Jiang family's bone-setting wine was so famous, so I had to go and see it. "

Cicada Yi couldn't help but sigh softly: "Jiang family-how?" "

Dieyi snorted angrily, "It looks good." The house is not small, and the place is quiet; Look at the ladies of the family who wear gold and silver; The medicine hall is not small, so it is beautiful! "

Cicada Yi is also uncomfortable. Why is the virtuous concubine gone, and the son was sent to his grandfather's house when he was a child, and he fell into that illness - the culprit Jiang family is living a good life in his hometown leisurely? However, she was much more stable than Dieyi, and sighed and advised: "Childe must be unhappy in his heart, so he will mention it again." "

Dieyi responded, and said hatefully: "Look, if this medicine and wine are not good, look at me I have to smash his medicine hall!" "

Taohua didn't know that someone was already preparing to smash his family's medicine hall. At this moment, she was talking to Zhuang Tou at the Jiang family's medicine house.

Zhuangtou's surname is Zhang, he is honest and doesn't talk much, but he is a good hand at serving medicinal herbs for many years, and his family has grown medicinal herbs for the Jiang family for several generations, so when he talks about medicinal herbs, he has a lot more words than in the past.

"…… The honeysuckle planted the year before last has budded early this year, and the harvest will be good, and this year's medicinal tea can be made more than last year......" Lao Zhangtou walked with Taohua everywhere, pointing slowly and methodically, "There is also that piece of Ding Gong vine, using the girl's method, it started again in the spring of this year, and it grows well." In this way, he has more experience in serving, even if it is colder this winter, Xiao Lao'er is sure that he can keep it. "

Ding Gongteng is the name that Taohua said to Lao Zhangtou, and in this era, it is still called Nanteng, and it has not yet been used in large quantities. And now the Jiang family's bone-setting wine has added this thing to it. Originally, Jiang Xi occasionally saw it at the drug dealer, but Taohua put it into medicine and asked someone to introduce it to Zhuangzi.

This era is also called the Ming Dynasty, but it was not built by Zhu Yuanzhang. Taohua flipped through the history books, and until the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the same as the history she knew, but she did not experience the Southern Song Dynasty, but was directly destroyed by the Jin people at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. Ten years after the establishment of the Jin dynasty, the Shen family, the remnants of the old dynasty, raised troops, expelled the Jin people, and established the Ming Dynasty by themselves. History split into a fork in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and Taohua traveled to the dynasty of this fork in the road.

Therefore, at this time, many things that appeared in the Zhu Dynasty are not available now, let alone later, so Taohua is still the first to use Nan Teng in medicine.

Lao Zhangtou is quite respectful of Taohua. Taohua followed Jiang Xi to see the medicine field when she was eight years old, and she was not like an ordinary pampered girl, she refused to even walk around the field, for fear of getting dirty embroidered shoes, but she was very interested and asked everything. After a few years, Taohua is now an expert in the cultivation of medicinal herbs. In addition, two years ago, she proposed to use Nanteng in medicine and introduced it again, the Jiang family's bone-setting wine has a better effect, and the cost is lower. These things are the secrets of the Jiang family, and Lao Zhangtou will not talk nonsense, but he has repeatedly praised the eldest girl for being worthy of the Jiang family, and she is born to fiddle with medicine.

Momoka was a little embarrassed. This is an extra lifetime of experience, and more accumulation of thousands of years of history. Of course, this must not be said, so I had to be cheeky to accept the praise of the old man, look at the medicine fields one by one, and go to the Zhuangzi next to him.

This Zhuangzi is not from the Jiang family, but was bought by the Li family with his own dowry, and now it is Taohua's industry. Originally, some fruit trees and rice were planted, but four years ago, they were changed to flowers by Momoka.

As soon as Taohua arrived at her Zhuangzi, a middle-aged man greeted her. This person's surname is Wang, and when he saw Taohua, he smiled: "I just said yesterday that this Zhulan is going to be flowered, I thought that the eldest girl should also come over to take a look, otherwise she will come today." "

Taohua walked to the flower field and took a closer look, and sure enough, the green leaves of the dwarf pearl orchid trees were draped, and very small flower buds had appeared between the branches and leaves: "This year's flowers are earlier than usual." Have you come to the tea house to ask? "

"I came a few days earlier to ask." Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly said, "All the flowers for this year have been set, and the fixed silver has been paid." "

The pearl orchid planted on this Zhuangzi is used to make flower tea.

There is a lot of good tea in the south of the Yangtze River, and Suzhou is an important production area of flower tea in history, of course, it started from the Ming Dynasty in history, not this Ming Dynasty. However, this does not prevent Taohua from using history to earn a little silver for herself.

Li's Zhuangzi is mostly sloping land, but there is little fertile land, and it is not very suitable for planting rice. When Li bought this Zhuangzi, it was originally to supply the rice noodles used in his fat flour shop, because the shop was small and the amount was not much, and a few acres of land were enough. Later, he planted some fruit trees on the hillside for his own food, and he did not expect much income.

After Li's death, Jiang Xi missed his deceased wife and was reluctant to sell the Zhuangzi. When Taohua was eight years old, she followed Jiang Xi to see the medicine field, and by the way, she came to this Zhuangzi to see, and after she went back, she discussed planting flowers with her father. Although Jiang Xi felt that her daughter was too young and might not know how to do business, this Zhuangzi had no great success, but Taohua did not do well and the loss was limited, so she also went.

In history, Suzhou flower tea is most famous for jasmine tea, tortoiseshell tea, white orchid tea and pearl orchid tea.

"However, I heard from the guy who came over from Huiyi that Qinqing Tea Store found someone to plant a lot of Zhulan trees in the Tiger Hill area, and also planted jasmine roses and the like, thinking that they wanted to fight with Huiyi. And recently, many of these Zhuangzi have been replanted with flowers, and the price is cheaper than ours, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will affect our Zhuangzi. "

People have no foresight, there must be near worries, Wang shopkeeper is not Wuxi people, but from the outside to flow over, once also served as a shopkeeper, now Taohua under this Zhuangzi, plus a fat powder shop and a tea shop, are all managed by him, in addition to ten taels of silver per month, at the end of the year also give him two points of dividends. If the owner's business is good, the shopkeeper Wang's income will be more, so he will naturally be more worried.

Momoka only smiled. Historically, Tiger Hill has produced a large number of fragrant flowers for tea, and now although the timeline is different, the development of history is still very different. Besides, she, a small Zhuangzi, didn't plan to take over all the business, and as for the price war or something, she didn't think about it.

"Let's just plant the flowers well, and everything that is handed over to Huiyi Tea Store must be the best flowers." The tea produced by Huiyi Tea is all refined, not the big bowl of tea for the peddler's pawn to drink, if the flowers collected are not good, it is to smash their own signboard, no matter how cheap it is, it is useless.

Wang Zhuangtou nodded: "The little one knows." We have had a good relationship with Huiyi over the years, but I am afraid that the Qinqing Tea Store intends to deal with Huiyi, and it will inevitably affect us in the end. "The tea sold in the small tea shop left by the Li family is all from Huiyi, and the medicinal tea in the Jiang family's medicine hall also has to buy some tea from Huiyi every year.

"Hmm." Taohua nodded, but changed the topic, "The beginning of July is the birthday of the old lady of the Su County Ling family. I heard that this year is the old lady's fiftieth birthday, and she is ready to do a big job. "

Shopkeeper Wang was slightly stunned, and then his expression moved: "The girl is preparing-" Three years ago, the pearl orchid tea was also made of peach blossom and sent to Su County's family first, and then it gradually became popular in Wuxi City, what are you going to send this year?

"The tortoiseshell flowers we planted should have bloomed a lot this year."

Shopkeeper Wang made it clear at one point: "The girl is planning to make new tea?" We have a total of more than 150 flower trees, and last year another 20 or 30 began to bloom, and this year there must be more than 100 that can bloom, which is enough to make tea. It's just that we have made new tea, and Qinqing can also learn ......"

Taohua smiled: "We have more than 100 flower trees, why are there still dozens of them that don't bloom this year?" "

"Naturally, it's because it's not a long time." Shopkeeper Wang answered fluently. Since he took over this Zhuangzi, he has learned a lot about the flowers and trees planted on the Zhuangzi, and it sounds like a treasure.

"yes." Taohua smiled and nodded, "It's less than a year...... "The tortoiseshell tree is an evergreen shrub of the Rutaceae family, which generally grows for more than five years before flowering, and will bloom in large quantities after ten years, which is very different from jasmine pearl orchids and the like. Eighty percent of these tortoiseshell trees on her Zhuangzi are transplanted from all over Wuxi, and the years are different, and there are still insufficient years that have not yet bloomed.

Even if Qin Qing wants to learn, it will take at least five years just to plant trees, which cannot be saved. With the opportunity of these five years, if Huiyi can no longer overwhelm Qin Qing, it will really be a matter for the whole family to go home and farm.

Shopkeeper Wang patted his thigh: "Ah! In recent years, the silk line has opened more and more, and many places have cut down forests to plant mulberry trees. No wonder the girl rushed me to buy trees in the first place, it turned out that this was for this! "

Momoka smiled and didn't say anything. Actually, she's not so far-sighted. She searched for tortoiseshell trees because she knew the habits of the trees, but in recent years, the wave of felling trees and planting mulberries in the south of the Yangtze River has been so high, she didn't expect it, just God will help.

Shopkeeper Wang had a goal, and he was immediately full of thoughts about this, and discussed with Taohua what new tea he wanted to use to make this tortoiseshell tea in Huiyi. Momoka only listened with a smile. She is not an expert in tea, and the details are determined by Shopkeeper Wang and Huiyi's Shopkeeper Liang herself, and she never interferes.

After staying in the Zhuangzi for three days and seeing all the flowers and trees, Taohua thought that Mrs. Cao Wu should also live enough, so she set off to return to the city.

Although I only went out for a few days, there were a lot of things that I moved around, and I had to organize them. There are also some fresh vegetables brought back from the Zhuangzi, some of which are sent directly to the kitchen, and some of which are sent to the master's room. When the man arrived home at noon, Mint was busy until near dusk, and only then did he go back to his house to have a sip of tea, when he saw Kikyo cautiously poking his head in at the door and said, "Sister-"

"Something to say." Mint doesn't like to see people talk like this, so he sank his face, "What are you doing?" "

"I-" Kikyo came in with her head bowed, "it's Sister Poria's business...... A few days ago, my wife entered the girl's storeroom. "
