04: People are panicking

Shen Lanxin told Shen Huaifu what he saw and heard on the road truthfully.

Hearing this news, Shen Huaifu was not too surprised, but just said "um".

Last year, there was a bumper harvest of honeysuckle, and overproduction led to most of the unsalable honeysuckle in the hands of farmers.

So this year, those farmers have changed to planting schisandra, the yield has been reduced by half, and now there is a plague, and people from other places have avoided it as soon as they hear about the plague in Fengcheng, so even if there is honeysuckle, no one is willing to transport it in, so it is rare and expensive, and honeysuckle will suddenly rise sharply.

Shen Lan saw that Shen Huaifu's face was calm, without a trace of ups and downs, so he wondered: "Dad, did you hear what I said?" ”

Shen Huaifu said casually: "I heard it, I heard it!" ”

Lan Xin said again: "Now even we don't have much honeysuckle, and this morning someone bought ten packs at once!"

At this time, Fa Cai, who was passing by, also said, "Yes, master, you didn't see those people this morning, as if the medicinal herbs don't need money." ”

When I think of the scene in the morning, I still have palpitations when I get rich.

Lan thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you think we should also go up?" ”

Shen Huaifu thought about it, the demand for honeysuckle has increased recently, if the price continues to skyrocket, once the people can't afford to buy medicinal materials, I am afraid it will cause riots, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

He hesitated for a moment.

said: "The price of honeysuckle in our Shen Family Medical Center will not increase, not only will the price not increase, but I am also ready to give away medicine for one day in the Shen Family Medical Center tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell.

"Dad, I heard you right, right? Complimentary medicine? Shen Lanxin wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. This honeysuckle is not enough to sell, and you need to give medicine?

"You heard it right, it's a free medicine." Shen Huaifu's expression was faint and emphasized again.

"Dad, are you mistaken? Shen Lanxin's eyes widened, "Do you know that there is not much inventory of our honeysuckle left, even if the price does not rise, it can last for two days at most, and you still have to engage in charity at this time?" And most of the recipes have honeysuckle, how can we get medicine for people without us? ”

At this time, the corners of Shen Huaifu's mouth rose slightly, and he said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this." ”

Looking at the look in Shen Huaifu's eyes, Shen Lan was stunned, and a trace of doubt crossed his eyes.

"Dad, did you keep a back hand? Tell me! Shen Lan asked in her heart, she didn't believe that Shen Huaifu was a reckless person, he must have some plan.

Shen Huaifu smiled leisurely.

Slowly got up and said, "You come with me!" As he spoke, he got up and walked in the direction of the medicine warehouse.

Passing through the back door of the inner hall to the door of the medicine warehouse, Shen Huaifu took out the key and opened the lock on the door of the medicine warehouse.

A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came to the nostrils, and all kinds of medicinal materials, finished and semi-finished products used in the Shen Family Medical Hall were stored here.

"Dad, what are you bringing me to the medicine warehouse for?" Shen Lan wondered.

Shen Huaifu pointed to the pile of sacks in the corner of the wall that looked like a hill, "Open it and see what this is?" ”

With Shen Lanxin, who was full of suspicion, she went to untie the rope on the sack, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, and the sack was filled with honeysuckle.

She couldn't believe that there were so many honeysuckles, and there were more than ten or twenty bags of this pile.

She glanced back at Shen Huaifu, and at this moment, a smug expression flashed on Shen Huaifu's face.

"Dad, what the hell is going on? Where did you get so much honeysuckle? ”

Seeing Shen Lanxin's confused face, Shen Huaifu said with a smile: "Your father and I have been practicing medicine for so many years, and the shortage of medicinal materials is a common thing, last year's honeysuckle harvest, there happened to be a farmer who came here to sell, and the price per catty was twice as cheap. ”

A hint of joy appeared on Lan Xin's face. "Dad, you can let you encounter this kind of thing, it seems that God really cares about our family."

In this way, we will not have to worry about the lack of honeysuckle to sell! Shen Lan's heart was happy.

"There are fifteen packs left, and five packs will be enough tomorrow, and I think the remaining ten packs can last for two months!" Shen Huaifu's way.

"And what about two months from now?" Lan Xin asked again.

"If I can't develop a cure for the plague in two months, I don't know what to do, but how long I can last."

Shen Lanxin looked at Shen Huaifu's face with a trace of worry, so he comforted: "I heard that the palace is also developing a recipe for the plague, so many people will always have someone who will develop a recipe, Dad, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"I hope so." Shen Huaifu let out a long sigh!

Seeing that the sun is about to set, there are a lot fewer people in the medical hall, and I can finally rest after a busy day.

At the end of the day, the medicine cabinet was full of medicines, and Fa Cai was still cleaning up.

At this time, Shen Lanxin came over with a bag of honeysuckle, and when he saw that Fa Cai was busy, he said: "Fa Cai, don't be busy, you are tired for a day, go back quickly." ”

"Come on, I'll be fine right away." Getting rich can't help but speed up.

"Don't forget to give this bag of honeysuckle to your mother before you leave!" After saying that, he put the medicinal herbs on the counter.

"Oh, got it."

Facai's father died of illness when he was a child, and he has been dependent on his mother, and he came to the Shen Family Medical Center as an apprentice at the age of ten, and now he is eighteen years old, Shen Lan treats him like his own brother, and he doesn't forget to leave a copy of any good things.

Shen Lanxin poured a cup of tea for Shen Huaifu.

"Dad, there will be few people here, you go and rest first, I'll just come here,"

Shen Huaifu took the tea, "I'm afraid I can't rest yet, I'll have to go to the clinic in a while." ”

"Is it still the old lady Yao in East Lane this time?" Shen Lanxin asked.

Shen Huaifu shook his head, "Old Madam Yao's illness has been cured, this time it is Lord Su, the servant of the Ministry of Officials." ”

"The squire of the ministry, Soho's father, what happened to her father?" Shen Lanxin couldn't help but ask again.

"It's not a serious disease, it's just a disease of the summer, and people with weak physiques are easy to invade from the outside of dampness and evil spirits, and consume righteous qi. Shen Huaifu said lightly.

Shen Lanxin sighed lightly: "Also, Uncle Su is entangled in official duties all the year round, and it is inevitable that he will become ill from hard work, hey, Fengcheng has really not been peaceful recently, Dad, you often go to the doctor, you must take care of your health." ”

Although Shen Lanxin has a somewhat stubborn temperament, he is a very filial child in his bones, which makes Shen Huaifu very pleased.

Shen Huaifu nodded and said, "Don't worry, you ask Cuicui to cook a pot of mung bean soup when you go back, and each of you will drink a bowl." ”

Shen Huaifu looked at the hour again, "It's not too early, I have to go." ”

Before leaving, he instructed Shen Lanxin to prepare some of the honeysuckle that he needed to give tomorrow according to the amount of twenty grams per pack.

Late at night, when everyone fell asleep, the candles were still burning in the medicine warehouse, and the medicinal materials were piled up on the case, Shen Lanxin had been working for two hours, and at this time, there was a sound of gentle footsteps outside.

Luo Zhi was wearing a piece of clothing, and when he pushed open the door of the medicine warehouse, he saw the medicine neatly bandaged on the case, and when he looked at it, he found that Shen Lanxin was sitting cross-legged and sitting on the futon and wrapping the medicine in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, a trace of distress suddenly appeared in Luo's heart.

At this time, Shen Lanxin found Luo, so he hurriedly got up, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

Luo Che took her hand and said, "It's so late, I saw that the light in the medicine warehouse was still on, so I came over to take a look!" ”

"Mother, look, these are my masterpieces, how about it? Isn't it very fast? Shen Lanxin pointed to the pile of small hills on the desk with both hands.

Luo was very relieved, but he pretended to be unhappy on his face and said, "What time has it been, and you haven't rested yet?" ”

As soon as Luo Che reminded him like this, Shen Lanxin knew that it was already the third watch, and he had to get up early tomorrow.

"It's this time, mother, don't you say I thought it was early."

Roche said with a distressed face: "You kid, you work like your father, you forget to sleep and eat." ”

Shen Lan smiled in his heart.

Luo's eyes were full of concern and said: "You can't do it day and night, do you want a young body?" ”

Shen Lanxin felt that what Luo said was also reasonable, her father and mother were getting older, and in the future, all the big and small affairs of the family would depend on her, in case something happened to her body, she didn't worry about anything else, the only thing she couldn't worry about was that her father and mother would have no one to take care of her in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Lanxin held Luo's hand and said, "What my mother said is, don't worry, I will take care of myself, and I will accompany you back." After saying that, the two of them went out together.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Huaifu woke up, so he got up and sat up, yawning, "It's so late, where have you been?" ”

"I went to the medicine warehouse!" Roche said as he took off his coat.

"It's so late, and Xin'er hasn't rested yet?" Shen Huaifu asked.

"Just went back to my room."

At this time, Luo sat on the bed and suddenly asked: "Master, when are we going to tell her about that matter, he is already so old and has the right to know." ”

Shen Huaifu's eyes flashed, "Let's wait for a while!" It's too late, hurry up and go to bed. Then he lay down!

Luo looked at Shen Huaifu, sighed, and got up to blow out the candle.

The next day, Shen Lanxin got up earlier than usual, she only slept for an hour, got up before dawn, and opened the door of the Shen Family Medical Hall.

Probably only the Shen Family Medical Hall opened the earliest in the entire Fengcheng.

Shen Lanxin hung a sign on both sides of the door, which read, "One day of medicine for medical treatment, only one copy per person".

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, as soon as they heard that there was such a good thing, the big guys all hurried to the Shen family medical hall, and even when they heard that there was a free medicine to take, they immediately fell asleep, and they couldn't wait to run in a hurry without even wearing pants, for fear that they would fall short, the Shen family's move was undoubtedly for the people of Fengcheng to send charcoal in the snow. No, before the dawn of the day, the house and door of the Shen Family Medical Hall were full of people, all waiting to see a doctor and get medicine for free.
