Chapter 7 The Royal Family Medical Hall in Baihua Town
Ling'er looked at the basket in Min'er's hand and smiled with relief, still Min'er was careful. For Aunt Zhang's question, Ling'er had already prepared.
"Aunt Zhang, now is not the time to speak, I will explain to you on the road in a while, you have to hurry up and pack these and take them to the town." Aunt Zhang is not a grinder, so she put the neat yard of the female frog washed by Ling'er in the bucket in three or five clicks, and after it was full, there were still many that could not be put down, so she asked:
"Can't you put this down?" Min'er looked at it and was full of regret.
"Oh, I'll take that bucket back, why don't I go home and get it?" Min'er just saw Ling'er throw the frog there, thinking she didn't want it.
"No, sister, let's dry them on these two big rocks and take them home in the evening." Ling'er originally planned to leave some frogs, but now it's just right, or she wouldn't have asked Min'er to take the bucket back.
"What's the use of this? Can you still eat it? Aunt Zhang was joking, but Ling'er's answer shocked her so much that she almost threw the frog in her hand to the ground.
"It's just eating, stewed potatoes, it's fragrant." Ling'er replied casually.
"What? Eat? ”
"Eat?" The two voices sounded at the same time, and they also formed an echo, so you can imagine how high the decibel level of these two people is.
Ling'er rubbed her buzzing ears, looked at them and nodded with a serious expression. I saw that Aunt Zhang's chin almost fell to the ground, and Min'er next to her had a constipated expression.
"You knew you could eat it?"
"Who told you the potato stew was fragrant?" Two voices asked at the same time, but fortunately the volume was normal this time. After all, Aunt Zhang is an adult, and she immediately grasped the point.
The three of them walked along the side of the hill in the direction of the town, where there was no road. Because it's all grass, as long as you don't encounter snakes, it's still easy to walk. There are two advantages to walking this way, one is that it is closer and there is no need to take a detour from the village; The second is that no one will know that the three of them went to town. This made Ling'er very happy, and she memorized the route in her heart, thinking that she would go to the town through the back door of her house in the future.
"It came to pass that yesterday morning my mother and I were at home, and a man with a basket on his back came to the house to beg for water. He was holding a bamboo cage full of female frogs. I thought it was interesting, so I went over and asked. He said that he was from the North County Government and came to us to catch the female forest frog. Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Zhang asked:
"What's a porcelain frog? It's still porcelain at first glance, isn't this a dead cow baby? Because the forest frog is larger, the people of Hongsongtun call it "Niu Baby".
"Uh, my mouth is still on my head?" (Mouth scoop: Northeast dialect, which means that the mouth is not easy to use, and it is not good to say things.) It also has the meaning of incoherent. Ling'er doesn't know how to call Lin Frog here, it seems that you have to pay more attention in the future, it's really tiring to lie nonsense. (Nonsense: Lies)
"It's okay, take your time and don't worry." Min'er comforted her sister, she felt that her sister's most clever children in the village were better than herself, who was a sister.
"Well, I know, sister, I'll say it slowly." Min'er has nothing to say about her being good, and she must work hard to make her family live a good life.
"The cow baby he said is the name given by the people in our village, but in fact, the name of this thing in the book is Lin Frog. When the female frog arrives in autumn, it grows oil in its belly, but the male does not. This oil is a medicinal herb, old and expensive, specializing in the treatment of postpartum body weakness or something. It's a good thing anyway, and I don't remember that much. Ling'er breathed a long sigh of relief, she didn't expect that she was quite capable of making up.
"From the North County Palace? It takes six or seven days to ride in a carriage, and it takes more than a month to get there if you walk. "Aunt Zhang thinks that person is too incredible, just for such a thing to run so far? You must know that none of our people in Hongsongtun have ever been out of Xing'an Mansion except for the village chief. is the farthest village chief has been to Quy Nhon County, which has been to Yi'an Province, and compared to this person, he is only half of the family.
"There's no way, this forest frog is only available in our Xing'an Mansion, and he can't come if he doesn't want to." Ling'er doesn't know if there is anywhere else, but now she can only use this excuse, and it's okay to bluff Aunt Zhang. In modern times, this thing is only available in the Northeast, so I guess it won't be too bad here, right?
"Then I can't talk about it, Ling'er, didn't he say how much is a pound of forest frog oil?" (語不 (liǎo) 了 (le): Northeast dialect, meaning no way. Aunt Zhang really couldn't believe that this could be exchanged for money, but seeing that Ling'er looked confident, she couldn't help but think it was true.
"At that time, I didn't think about exchanging this for money, so I didn't ask. But the price should be quite high, or that person wouldn't have come all the way here, don't you say? Ling'er shouted in her heart, Aunt Zhang, don't ask again, okay? I'll have to think about it for a while, you always ask me if I can make it up.
"That's right, Min'er, can you do it? Why don't we take a break? Aunt Zhang looked at Min'er's little face flushed when she was carrying the basket, afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it. It is said that the autumn tiger is as fierce as a tiger, which means that the autumn sunshine is the strongest. Many people are fine all summer, but they get sunburned in the fall.
"It's okay, I can do it, let's go." Min'er felt very tired, but if she rested, she wouldn't have the strength to get up, and she was completely supported by her mental strength. The point is that after tossing and turning during the day yesterday, and I barely slept at night, plus I didn't eat anything in the morning, it's almost a miracle that I didn't fall down now.
"Sister, let's mention it together, so it can be faster." Ling'er found a wooden stick to pass through the handle of the basket, and the two sisters were just right on one side.
The three of them stopped talking and hurried all the way to the town. When they came to the town, it was already three minutes before the first month (13:45-14:00), so they didn't hurry to rest and recuperate, and walked quickly to the Wangjia Medical Center in the south of the town.
To say that this Wang Family Medical Center has to start from the first emperor when he first ascended to the Great Treasure, the founder of the Wang Family Medical Center at that time, that is, the father of Dr. Wang in the medical hall now. He was originally an envoy of the Tai Hospital, and he commanded the entire Tai Hospital, which can be said to be infinitely beautiful. There is a lot of scenery, there is a lot of risk. Because he stood in the wrong team and became a victim of the harem for favor, the first emperor had to decree that he would be dismissed and sent back to his hometown, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing during his lifetime. The old man returned to Baihua Town to establish the "Wang Family Medical Center", and established a family motto of never entering the office and benefiting the people. Almost no local ordinary people go to the Wang Family Medical Center to see a doctor, not because of the Wang family's problem, but because of the family's medical skills, there are often high-ranking officials and nobles who come to seek treatment. The poor people have a natural fear of the rich, so they naturally dare not go to the Wang Family Medical Center to see a doctor. There are two reasons, one is that they are afraid that they will not be able to afford the cost of diagnosis and medicine; Second, I am afraid of colliding with the nobles who come here to see a doctor and bring man-made disasters to my family.
Ling'er had already asked Aunt Zhang about the situation of the town's medical hall before entering the town, so she naturally chose to go to the Wang Family Medical Center. Forest frog oil is a high-end product, so naturally you have to find a relatively tall place.
