Before he stepped on the threshold of the shop, he heard a rapid and high-pitched cough from inside, which sounded like it was beating a dilapidated drum.

Zhu Yan frowned, he already had a plan in his heart, and when he stepped into the shop, a thick medicinal fragrance came in an instant, Zhu Yan took a deep breath of medicinal incense, and felt that the aroma of this plant made him very comfortable.

At this time, it was about evening, and the ordinary pharmacy had long been closed at this time, and the owner of this shop was called Bian Feng, a distant relative of the Bian family, because he had made an appointment with Zhu Yan in advance, and knew that she had a close relationship with the Bian family, so he waited until this time. Seeing that they had arrived, he instructed the men to close the door and invite Zhu Yan into the back hall to talk.

Zhu Yan thanked him with a smile, "Zhu Yan likes the medicinal fragrance here very much, so let's talk here for a while." She looked up at the entire wall of medicinal herbs on the counter, the golden characters neatly carved on the golden-red wood, and the names of the medicines on them were as familiar as if they were old friends.

"It's okay, Miss Zhu likes it." Bian Feng is a neatly dressed middle-aged man with a square face in Chinese characters, which makes it easy to believe that he is a decent person.

Zhu Yan's gaze fell on his somewhat chapped lips, it was autumn at this time, the weather was dry and dry, and it was most likely to consume the fluid of the wounds, and the five elements of autumn should be lungs, this season should be the season of pulmonary diseases, I heard that someone was coughing in the pharmacy just now, maybe it was this boss?

Out of his mind, Bian Feng really couldn't help coughing a few times, but there was still an "empty" sound, Mingzi and Liu Zixin both felt that their throats were itching when they heard it, and they secretly cleared their throats while no one was there.

"How many days have you been coughing?" Zhu Yan asked in a low voice.

"Ahem, I ate some spicy chicken last month, choked once, and somehow coughed." Bian Feng scratched the back of his head, but he was blunt about his illness.

Zhu Yan nodded, spicy things will also consume the fluid of the wounds, and if you don't pay attention to the dryness of autumn on weekdays, it is easy to suffer from cough disease because of the loss of Yuan Yin and the floating of Yuan Yang, and pursed her thin lips, "Sir, can you heal?" ”

"It's not, our pharmacy knows a little bit about the treatment of minor ailments, and that day I had a cough with a few prescriptions to dissolve phlegm and clear fire, but I didn't want to drink it to no effect. Thinking that it would be enough to cough in a few days, I didn't go to the doctor again, and I didn't think that I was still well. Bian Feng knew that Zhu Yan was a well-known healer in this area who could use simple and strange methods to cure diseases, so he told the truth about the cause and effect, wanting to see what prescription she would give.

Zhu Yan pondered for a moment, looked up at the medicine cabinets on the wall and searched, and asked, "Is there a powder made of schisandra in this shop?" ”

"Powder?" Bian Feng was stunned, few people here use medicine, until Zhu Yan's fat powder and medicine shop opened, they knew that there was such a treatment, which could make it much more convenient to diagnose and take medicine, and shook his head, "Our shop only has medicinal materials." ”

Zhu Yan nodded, she was too reckless, in her memory, the pharmacy that sold Chinese patent medicine only arose during the Song and Song dynasties, and according to her observation in the past half a year, the time and space she came to was at most comparable to the development of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and medicine and health were far from being so developed.

"So, what kind of black plum has you concocted?" Zhu Yan pursed his lips, there is no schisandra powder, then black plum is a flavored Chinese medicine, there should always be one in this pharmacy, right?

"Ume?" Bian Feng was obviously stunned, turned around and searched for the medicine cabinet, and finally found the word "black plum" in the inconspicuous lower right corner, opened the small drawer, there happened to be more than a dozen black dried plums in it, and took them all out to show Zhu Yan, "Miss Zhu is talking about this?" ”

Zhu Yan nodded, "You eat five first." ”

Bian Fengzhi thought that he had misheard, and Mingzi on the side also widened his eyes curiously, you know, without any processing, directly instructing the patient to gnaw on medicinal materials, such a doctor is difficult to find except for Zhu Yanke.

"If you don't like it, you can also eat candied black plum ......" Zhu Yan saw that his face was embarrassed, smiled, and mentioned it intimately.

"It's okay, it's okay, will it be a few plums soon?" Bian Feng was a little embarrassed, and he coughed non-stop in a hurry, thinking that it would be miserable after half a month, so what harm would it do to try Zhu Yan's strange method now?

However, this black plum is a smoked and dried semi-finished product, which can not be compared to the candied black plum can get a trace of sweetness, and the mouth is full of sourness, and Bian Feng can't help but cover his cheeks and "hiss".

Mingzi saw that he was an adult who looked so pitiful that he couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering, and when he looked up, he was knocked on the door of his head by Zhu Yan, "Pay attention to the appearance, the big businessman in the future." ”

Mingzi rubbed the corners of her forehead, squeezed her eyes, and smiled secretly: "Sister Yanzi is talking more and more interestingly, but she doesn't look like she used to be. ”

"Don't like it?" Zhu Yan leaned down and stared at his cunning little eyes, this kid's little head is really not simple.

"Naturally, I like it, Sister Yanzi is still like this!" Mingzi was sincere this time, although Zhu Yan often gave them some exquisite gadgets in the past, he always seemed lifeless, and he was not the type that children liked.

On the side, he stalked his neck, covered his cheeks, and easily killed five sour black plums, his eyes were squinted into a line, and he called the man to drink those honey water with a bitter face.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Boss Bian, don't blame me for being a little bitter in this treatment, as the saying goes, 'good medicine is good for disease'." ”

Bian Feng hurriedly pulled out a smile, but unfortunately there was still a lot of sour taste of black plums, "Miss Zhu is very interesting to speak, no wonder our uncle likes it." ”

Boss Bian laughed. Zhu Yan smiled generously, but a knot twisted in his heart, why are there so many people who know about this?

"Hey, shopkeeper, you really don't seem to cough anymore!" The guy was coming out of the room with sugar water, watching his boss talking and laughing there, and couldn't help but secretly admire Zhu Yan's strange method.

Bian Feng patted his thigh, he felt sour when he patronized it just now, but it seemed that he really didn't cough anymore, and his throat felt a lot moisturized, and he didn't want to cough at all, and his gaze at Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little more reverence, "Miss Zhu is really wonderful, my cough has dragged on for more than half a month, and I don't want you to cure it with a few black plums!" ”

"But for now." Although he knew that he had a veil, Zhu Yan still smiled humbly, "Wumei has a sour taste, which has the function of astringent absorption, so it can temporarily relieve the symptoms, Boss Bian remembers to take some moisturizing drugs, and drink more water on weekdays." ”

While listening, he nodded, and praised from time to time, "Miss Zhu is really good-hearted, I see that the doctors in this town all give a prescription for patients to take medicine by themselves, how can anyone like you still order food and daily life?" ”
