Chapter 199: Keeping the Widow alive

It was the first time Huang Qin heard Bai Zhihan speak, although it was very cold and a little sissy, but it sounded indescribably good, and she said happily: "Brother Bai, we can eat four of the two." ”

"If you can finish eating, you can eat yourself, and if you can't finish eating, you can eat as much as you want, or give away as much as you want to eat, and you will deduct as much as you want for the next meal. This is the rule set by my young master! ”

Sang Wazi didn't know what to do with the half of the bun, and Sang Mu smiled and said: "Good daughter, don't be afraid, Xiao Langzhong is reluctant to let you starve to death, saying so, I will definitely send you more food when the time comes." This mother eats it! As he spoke, he put the bun in his mouth.

Bai Zhi turned her head coldly and stared coldly at Sang Mu: "Stop!" I warn you, my young master said that the three of you, no matter who you are, as long as you dare to eat a mouthful of their food, even if it is a mouthful of soup, you will immediately drive her out of the tea shop! Don't step into the tea shop again! If you don't believe me, you can try it! Bai Zhihan's words were as cold as a knife.

Sang Mu was stunned, and glanced at the steamed bun in her hand, she didn't want to live on the street, and now she still had almost five buckets of rice in her hand, and it was not yet time to run out of water. He put the steamed bun in the bowl and said to Sang Xiaomei: "You should eat, my mother is full." Hey hey"

Seeing this, Sang Wazi also hurriedly put half of the steamed bun back into Huang Qin's bowl.

Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin were already so hungry that their eyes were green, and they immediately ate four steamed buns, a stack of pickles, and a porcelain jar of cabbage soup. Touching my stomach, I still feel as if I haven't eaten, this is a feeling of excessive hunger, and my stomach is actually full.

Bai Zhihan got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Huang Qin hurriedly said, "Brother Bai, let me come!" "Help put away all the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the basket. Bai Zhihan carried it, ignored them, turned around and walked away.

Huang Qin stood at the door and looked at her back stupidly, Sang Xiaomei was full and energetic, poked her with her elbow, and laughed in a low voice: "Hey! Take it easy, watch out for your eyes dropping! ”

Huang Qin chuckled, slapped her, and whispered, "Do you say he's handsome?" ”

"Who?" Sang Xiaomei asked knowingly.

"Nonsense, of course it's Big Brother Bai?"

"Hey! You're a famous man! Beware of my brother's jealousy tearing you up! ”

Huang Qin glanced at the cowering Sang Wazi in the lobby with disdain: "If he had this temper, I wouldn't have this thought!" ”

"What's in your mind? Look at your silver! Could it be that you still want to steal people from my brother? Sang Xiaomei glared at her.

"Don't worry, I won't steal people, but I can't stand my heart's liking, oh, when a man sees a beautiful woman, he flows all over the place, and people say that he is suave, what about us women, when we see a handsome guy, a few more glances is Yindang? - Hey, you haven't said it yet, isn't Big Brother Bai very handsome? ”

Sang Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "It's very handsome, it's just ......, it's just too cold, there's no smile, and the eyes are like knives, and they can cut people." ”

"You know what, it's called coldness! Such a man is the most charming! A little white face like yours, a good person who keeps chattering, is boring. I just like such a resolute man! Alas! If only your brother had him, it would have been great. ”

"Is my brother bad? I'm obedient to you. ”

"Phew!" Sang Xiaomei took a sip, "He's a man, a little manly, okay?" Like a, if he has to be capable, don't let me stay a widow ......"

Sang Xiaomei was taken aback: "What did you say?" My brother ......, let you stay alive and widowed...... ”

"Shh......h Huang Qin motioned for her to be quiet, looked sideways to the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell your parents-in-law about this, if others know, your brother will die of shame!" ”

Sang Xiaomei took her hand: "No wonder you have been married to my brother for so long, you don't even have a child, poor sister-in-law, it really hurts you!" ”

Huang Qin smiled reluctantly: "It's all fate!" ”

"Have you looked for Lang Zhong?"

"No ......" Huang Qin looked at the shrunken mulberry sitting in the corner of the lobby again, and said in a low voice: "Your brother refuses to look for it." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Huang Qin gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I said it when you asked, don't tell anyone, including your parents-in-law and your brother!" ”

"Well, I don't say it."

"Your brother ......, he doesn't seem to be interested in the affairs of men and women!"

"Huh?" Sang Xiaomei's face turned red and she was surprised.

"Yes! On the night of the candle in the cave room, he didn't touch me, and he slept with his back to me, leaving me alone for a night! ”

"My brother is ...... and shy!"

"That's what I thought at first, and after a few days, he did it every night. I thought this would not work, so I was cheeky and stripped naked in front of him, but he was still indifferent, took off his clothes and slept with his back to me......"

Listening to Huang Qin talk about these boudoir men and women, Sang Xiaomei was flushed, and even her neck was blushing, but it was about the Sang family's incense, and her father and mother didn't know, so she couldn't help but listen clearly, so she couldn't help but listen with her head down.

Huang Qin continued: "It's been like this for a few more days, I really can't help it, so I took the initiative to tease him, and had the courage to touch his crotch, guess what?" ”

"What's wrong?" Sang Xiaomei asked shy and embarrassed.

"Your brother's thing is only the size of a broad bean! I can't get up no matter how I get it......! ”

"Don't say it, shame on you!" Sang Xiaomei covered her face and felt her face burn, "You know everything!" ”

"Hehe, when I got married, my mother told me, taught me how to cave the house, and showed me a male and female acacia porcelain doll. My mother said that when a girl gets married, she will be taught by her mother, and you will know it when you get married in the future. ”

Sang Xiaomei couldn't care less about being shy at this time, and asked, "My brother is like this now, so what can I do?" ”

"What can I do? Your brother won't let you say it. ”

"Why don't you take a look at Xiao Langzhong?"

"Forget it, your brother said it, if others knew about it, including Xiao Langzhong, he wouldn't have the face to stay!"

Sang Xiaomei didn't know what to do now. He said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, despite my brother's so, you still can't be sorry for him!" ”

Huang Qin glanced at him: "Now it's your brother who is sorry for me!" I can't stay like this for the rest of my life, can I? ”

"What do you want to do, ......?"

"I don't know! Oops, let's not talk about it! Huang Qin turned around and entered the tea shop.

———————————— Bai Zhihan returned to the pharmacy, and the carriage of Hengchang Pharmacy to deliver medicinal materials also arrived, which Zuo Shaoyang went to buy on credit, and there were ten carts of medicinal materials.

In addition to the commonly used medicines, most of these medicinal materials are edible medicinal materials, such as mulberry white bark, Chinese cabbage, wolfberry, purslane, sea cucumber, chrysanthemum, grass root, and so on.

This time, Zuo Shaoyang is simply cheeky to buy medicinal materials on credit, anyway, there is an unlimited purchase of the medicine cabinet, and he is a minority shareholder of Hengchang Pharmaceutical Company, Zhu Shopkeeper did not make any restrictions, he can buy whatever he wants, anyway, he will directly deduct it from his dividends in the future.

Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store is worthy of being the largest wholesaler of medicinal materials in Hezhou, and the medicinal materials are piled up, and Zuo Shaoyang will leave all the medicinal materials that can be used as wild vegetables.

Therefore, although the famine began to occur in the city, because the famine was not yet very serious, especially the doctors in Hezhou City knew medicine but did not know much about medicine, so no one noticed that some of the medicinal materials in the medicine shop could be used to satisfy hunger. Except for Zuo Shaoyang.

When Zuo Shaoyang was studying at the Medical University, he read a lot of medical miscellaneous books, and once read a medical book called "Materia Medica".

This was compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhu Hu, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was also the beginning of the founding of the country, and the people lived extremely hard for many years, and most of them fed their stomachs on grass roots and bark, because they did not know which plants could be eaten, and there were many people who died because of accidental eating. Zhu Hu felt pity, so he set up a botanical garden in Kaifeng, the capital, planted a variety of edible plants from all over the country, and after testing and verifying, they were included in a book, a total of more than 400 minutes of wild vegetables that can be used as hunger in the famine years. There are a large number of illustrations in the book, all of which were drawn by healers and royal painters based on real objects, describing in detail the growing environment and processing methods of these edible wild plants.

Zuo Shaoyang was just out of curiosity at the time, and after reading it, he knew that many commonly used medicinal materials could be eaten, and he also knew that many plants around him could be used as wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, of course, he never thought that he would use this book one day.

Ten cars full of medicinal materials were parked at the door, and Zuo Shaoyang was worried again, where to put these medicinal materials? The family pondered for a long time before deciding to put some of the medicinal herbs into the medicinal herb warehouse and kitchen, and the rest in the bedroom of Zuo Gui and his wife. It was piled high, and only a little gap in front of the bed remained. Rao is so, there are still many that can't be installed, so they can only be placed in the lobby, crowding out part of the open space in the lobby, so it is installed.

Zuo Gui's father doesn't know what Zuo Shaoyang is doing when he buys back so many medicinal materials, people who know medicine don't necessarily understand medicine, and Zuo Gui's father doesn't know either, most of these medicinal materials can satisfy hunger.

Zuo Shaoyang did not explain that in a famine environment, these hungry herbs might play his role. It's always good to take precautions, anyway, these medicinal materials are very cheap, and these top ten cars only cost him half a year's dividend, that is, thirty yuan.

Zuo Shaoyang asked the price of medicinal materials in Hengchang Pharmacy, and it was really two or three times more expensive than before, Zuo Shaoyang told him what he said in the medicine cabinet, Zuo Gui sighed, and said: "I wish the old man is right, we also have to rise the tide, and the medical fee will be determined according to the medium price of the pharmacy in the city. It's good to be flexible and grasp it a little bit. ”

After some discussion, the retail price of all the medicinal materials, the consultation fee, and the cost of the visit were all mentioned to the middle price of the Hezhou pharmacy. The patients who came to the doctor saw it and said that they could understand it, so the price increase did not affect the business of many pharmacies, because Zuo Shaoyang treated burns, fractures and gold wounds with good results. As long as there is an effect, it is not wrong to spend a little more money, not to mention that compared with other pharmacies, it is only a medium level, which is not a high price.

In the evening, Bai Zhihan sent food to Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin, and Sang Mu and Sang Wazi no longer dared to ask Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin for food, and after drinking a stomach of porridge, they went to bed early and lay down, so as not to consume too much and be hungry in the middle of the night.
