Holding the warm sweet cake in her arms, Ah Chou had a lot of thoughts: Tong Ningxin's simplicity and kindness she has always known, but how sinister is there in the world? Will his simplicity and kindness become his weakness and be bullied? Or will one day it pass with the light?

After a long time, many emotions turned into an undetectable sigh, and she followed Tong Ningxin's footsteps to find Tong Ningzhi in the pharmacy.

The pharmacy is just around the corner from the street, not far from the bazaar.

Ah Chou glanced up at the word "Baekje" on the signboard, which was a very upright regular script, but the signboard was plain. Walking into the store, I looked around, the area is not large, and there are many types of medicinal materials. The guys are in and out, and they are very busy - autumn and winter are good times to get medicine.

"This big brother, is Tong Si here?" Tong Ningxin didn't notice his brother's figure, so he opened his mouth to ask the guy next to him. Generally, the guys in the shops in the city call their surnames and rankings to make it easier for everyone to remember. In the future, if you mix up your face and become a powerful person around the owner, you will be found out of your original name and surname, and you will naturally be able to follow the owner and have honor.

"Tong Si? What about ordering herbs in the backyard," the young man pointed his chin a little towards the back door, "you are looking for him?" ”

Ah Chou replied politely: "Yes, can you bother the eldest brother to tell him?" ”

The young man nodded: "I'll go find him." ”

"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie!" Tong Ningxin smiled and thanked him.

Outside the door of the Baekje Pharmacy, Ah Chou and Tong Ningxin stood aside and chatted, and saw the well-dressed Tong Ningzhi walking out from under the signboard and looked around.

Ah Chou shouted Tong Ningzhi, who didn't seem to have noticed them: "Fourth Brother Tong! They also didn't want to disturb others doing business, so they chose a corner to stand.

Tong Ningzhi turned his head in a hurry, and the look of surprise made him close his mouth: "Fifth brother, ugly, why are you here?" ”

"It's not that your brother is thinking about you and saying that he is going to bring you sweet cakes," the eyes under the ugly veil stayed on the prunella grass in Tong Ningzhi's hand, "What are you thinking?" ”

Tong Ningzhi stretched out his hand, handed the prunella to Ah Chou, took the sweet cake, took a bite, and chewed it for a long time before replying: "Our master wants to buy this batch of prunella grass, and we are negotiating the price, but I look at this grass and it seems that it is not quite the same as what I have seen before." ”

Ah Chou turned the fluffy prunella grass in his hand: "The quality is not very good......

"What do you say?" Tong Ningxin was interested, holding the sweet cake and widening his eyes.

Tong Ningxin also looked at Ah Chou curiously.

"Prunella vulgaris is cold, sweet and bitter in taste, clearing heat and detoxifying and flattening liver fire. When the flower spikes turn brown, they should be picked in time. This one, obviously, was not picked in time, and the medicinal taste has faded a lot. Ugly said and sniffed.

She went to the medicine field almost every night to take a walk around the space to learn the growth habits of various herbs. Although her medical skills are superb enough, she has always believed that there is no end to learning. What's more, in this ancient world where she was helpless, faceless, and moneyless, she had no other way out than to make herself stronger.

"In other words, is there really something wrong with this batch of prunella?" Tong Ningzhi couldn't believe that he actually hit by mistake and found the clue!

Ah Chou shook his head and nodded: "It's not a problem, it's still okay to take medicine, but the medicinal properties will be worse." Therefore, it is not bad to take this bargain. The tone was sly and brisk.

Things like medicinal herbs are actually the same as food. Food sustains life, and medicine saves lives. The premise is that there is no poison, so that whatever quality of the thing, it can work. The poor eat coarse grains as their staple food, while the rich consume fine grains. In this era when technology is not developed, it is not realistic for everyone to eat the most exquisite food and use good medicinal materials. The first priority is to save lives. If it can make the people spend less money, but can cure diseases and save lives, it is the greatest merit.

When Tong Ningzhi heard this, he was about to run to tell his master, but he was caught by Ah Chou: "Don't be so direct, just knock on the side, and pay attention to leave some steps for your master." In addition, if this batch of medicinal materials is sold again, it is better to be cheaper, so as not to cheat the people's money. As for how to do it yourself, you have more experience than I do. Also, just take the sweet cake and go like that? After that, he covered his lips and couldn't help laughing.

Tong Ningzhi smiled, handed the sweet cake to his younger brother, and ran back to the pharmacy with prunella.

"Ugly, if you come to open a shop, wouldn't it be very powerful?" Tong Ningxin watched his brother leave and chatted with her.

The Great Qianli Sect is not very strict, although it is not as enlightened as the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, but it is not impossible for married women to get involved in business. It's just that most of them are hidden behind the curtain, and the work of showing their heads is generally left to men.

"Really?" Ah Ugly's voice was indifferent and noncommittal. She does have the heart to start her own pharmaceutical brand. However, it is not the time yet.

In the end, the price of Baekje Pharmacy to buy this batch of prunella grass was much cheaper, and Tong Ningzhi was also praised by the master and the shopkeeper. However, Tong Ningzhi did not accept the shopkeeper's reward, and only asked to let this batch of prunella grass be sold cheaper.

The shopkeeper seemed to be moved when he heard this, and transferred him from the rough work in the backyard to the front of the hall. In this way, Tong Ningzhi has more opportunities to learn.

As the sun set, Grandma Xu was feeding the chickens in the yard and looked at the ugly who had just entered the house: "What's going on this market day?" "The smile is kind and kind.

"It's not bad, I bought a piece of tofu and came back, and I'll make tofu custard later." Ugly put down the basket and took out all the things he had purchased and packed them up.

"Tofu custard? You're going to make something new! Grandma Xu shook her head helplessly, but her somewhat cloudy eyes were full of appreciation and pride.

This granddaughter, caring and capable, I don't have to say!

While washing the tofu, Chou explained: "Cut the tofu into small pieces and put it in a bowl, beat the eggs, add water and salt, and put them together." Cover the plate and steam, chop the green onion and sprinkle it, and have some more sauce, but it's fresh! "If you have meat, you can stir-fry some sauce and pour minced meat on it, it will taste better.

Thinking like this, Ah Chou seemed to smell the aroma of dinner and began to look forward to this simple and simple dish.

"Oh, when I went to the city today, Fifth Brother Tong bought a sweet cake, I only ate a little, and he also said to bring it back to grandma to taste, and I will steam it hot." Ugly said as he took out the sweet cake and put it on the pot.

Grandma Xu smiled: "The fifth child of the Tong family has a conscience!" ”

"Fifth Brother Tong is kind-hearted." Ugly commented pertinently.

"By the way, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Jiang family came to you in the morning, stayed for a while, and said that you had to go to her house to sit down." Grandma Xu remembered and said to Ugly.

Ah Chou took off his veil and frowned slightly: "Did you say something?" "The Jiang family has no friendship with her, and it is unscientific to suddenly invite her to sit down.

Grandma Xu shook her head, also very puzzled, and frowned: "I didn't say anything, it's weird." ”
