Zuo Gui's father didn't ask Zuo Shaoyang which piece of wasteland he chose, he was busy seeing a doctor at the moment. Two more patients came in the afternoon, although it was only a minor illness with diarrhea and did not earn much money for medicine, but Zuo Gui was already quite satisfied.

Zuo Shaoyang found that his father Zuo Gui was still good at seeing the external infection, and there was no big problem with the prescription, of course, if there was a better choice of prescription to adjust in the future, Zuo Shaoyang would still help adjust the medication.

Sister Fennel was concerned, and asked Zuo Shaoyang in a low voice what wasteland he chose, Zuo Shaoyang roughly said the direction, and Fennel also felt that it was relatively good there, but like Hou Pu, he was worried about where Zuo Shaoyang would find labor to help him open up the wasteland. Zuo Shaoyang didn't explain.

On this day, Zuo Gui's father saw a total of five patients, and the gross profit was nearly seventy yuan, deducting the cost of medicinal materials, rent, etc., he could earn more than ten or twenty yuan, which had never been done for such a long time, and Zuo Gui's father was very happy. They even hummed a ditty when they closed the door.

In the afternoon and evening, Zuo Shaoyang was concocting those herbs. Although I made money today, I earned 20 taels a day, which was barely enough for the family to make ends meet, and it was tantamount to a fantasy to pay off the rent of four taels of silver within 15 days. It is not possible to rely on planting medicinal materials, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and others are unwilling to buy the medicinal materials concocted by his new method, he really feels that he is a little poor in donkey skills, and he can only see if the medicine concocted for the old shopkeeper of Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store can arouse his interest. Maybe as soon as he is happy, he will buy from himself, and that would be good. Therefore, he took great pains to concoct this medicine.

By the time the herbs were ready, it was already night. Put the herbs in the medicine box, and send them to the medicine cabinet the next morning. Zuo Gui's father has already said that he will go to Laohuai Village the next day to give the little master of the rich man Jia a follow-up visit to Aunt Li, so he has to go to the tea shop early, and come back quickly after delivering the things, and go to the doctor with his father.

The next morning, Zuo Shaoyang was woken up by the little squirrel's fluffy tail, and the little squirrel Huangqiu had just opened his eyes for a few days, and he didn't dare to get out of the nest, so he hid in the nest and looked at Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly took the little squirrel down with the nest, put it on the counter, and fed it nut juice. Then carry a bucket to fetch water.

When he came to the well, he heard Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin laughing loudly from a distance, and he was overjoyed, quickened his pace, and trotted to the steps, and sure enough, there were two women standing at the well, it was Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin. Zuo Shaoyang said: "Little sister, why are you here?" Are you cured? ”

Huang Qin looked up and saw that it was him, and said with a smile: "My little sister took your medicine, and she was able to get out of bed at noon yesterday, and in the evening, she was already able to eat a big bowl of rice." The medicine in your little man really works. ”

"Really? That's great, but the illness is just right, it's best to rest at home for two days, this day is cold and cold and aggravates the condition. ”

Sang Xiaomei said angrily: "I'm not so squeamish, it's good to lie down for a day, and if I lie down again, my father will scold the sky." ”

"You're sick, of course you should rest when you're sick."

Huang Qin glared at him angrily: "Little sister doesn't want to rest, every day before dawn, my third sister and I have to come out to fetch water, and we have to fill the three big water tanks." She's going to rest, so much water, who will pick it? ”

The Sang family runs a tea shop, and drinking tea naturally requires water, and the demand is far greater than that of the house, Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "Then you have to be careful not to catch a cold again." By the way, has the medicine cabinet of Hengchang Pharmacy come to the tea shop? I'm going to bring him medicine. ”

Sang Xiaomei said: "Here, he arrives at the tea shop on time every morning, and he can't move." ”

"Oh, well, I'll come when I'm done with the water. ――What do you think of the tea cup set I drew for you last time? ”

"It's good, I'll show it to my father, and he just said one sentence - don't you need money to get this? Just pushed me back. However, I discussed with my sister-in-law, found a free time, and went to the porcelain kiln to make some custom for trial. We'll pay for it ourselves. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "It seems that you are really optimistic about my design of this tea cup." ”

"That's it!" Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin both laughed.

Zuo Shaoyang came home carrying water, he didn't actually have to carry water every morning, their household water was relatively much less, and it was enough to pick it once every three or five days. I hadn't used much water for the first day, so I picked two picks and filled the tank.

Zuo Gui's father had already gotten up and was sitting in front of the long table drinking tea in a large tea jar. Zuo Shaoyang told Zuo Gui's father that he was going to send the medicine to the medicine cabinet, but Zuo Gui didn't say anything.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly came to the fragrant tea shop with the medicine. Seeing him come in, Father Sang greeted him with a smile: "It's Xiao Langzhong, do you want tea?" ”

"No, Sambo, I'm looking for the medicine cabinet, he's there, right?"

"Yes, in the backyard."

Zuo Shaoyang walked to the counter, and suddenly saw the figure in the kitchen next to him shaking very familiarly, and turned his face to see that it was Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin, who were busy boiling water in the kitchen. When Sang Xiaomei saw him coming, she smiled with a flushed cheek and turned her face away.

Zuo Shaoyang also smiled and walked to the backyard. I saw the medicine cabinet sitting on a bamboo chair, looking at the riverside. Zuo Shaoyang screamed twice before he woke up the medicine cabinet from his contemplation, saw that it was him, and beckoned him to sit down.

Zuo Shaoyang put the medicine bag in his hand on the bamboo table: "Uncle, your medicine store only gave one dose, so you only concocted so much." Divide into two doses. ”

Zhu medicine cabinet leaned over, carefully opened the medicine bag, picked up every flavor of the medicine in it and looked at it carefully, and went under the nose to smell it, and some even licked it with their tongues, and even broke a few pieces to see inside. It took almost a cup of tea to nod slowly, and said, "That's right, these medicinal materials are from my Hengchang Shang Pharmaceutical Company, and they are those flavored medicines, you didn't drop the bag, and they have indeed been carefully concocted." Well, you're in no hurry, are you? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I'm going to go on a medical patrol with my father, but it should be fine if I delay for a while." ”

"Okay, then you can wait for me to drink a bowl of medicine and see the situation before leaving. All right? ”

"Okay, can you decoct medicine here?"

"If you can make a sencha, of course you can decoct the medicine, hehe. - Mulberry baby, come here! ”

"Come on!" Outside the door, Sang Xiaomei's brother Sang Wazi agreed loudly, and came in with a big copper kettle, "What do you always command?" ”

Zhu pushed the medicine bag in the medicine cabinet: "Oh, take it and help me decoct the medicine, fry it immediately." I'm going to drink it now. By the way, if you give Xiaolang a cup of good tea, it's better to cover the eagle's beak. ”

Sang Wazi agreed, took the medicine bag and went out, and soon, he came in with a cup of tea, put it in front of Zuo Shaoyang, poured water, accompanied a smile, and turned around and went out.

The cold wind by the river was cold, and Zuo Shaoyang shivered. Zhu medicine cabinet smiled and said: "Your body is too thin, I am like your age, and I am shirtless and stretching fiber in the cold winter." In the frozen river, a fierce man can dive from one side of the river to the other! Hey hey"

Zuo Shaoyang said strangely: "Old Bola is too fine? ”

"Yes, in the early years, I was a boat puller. Yesterday, there were a few old men, and the old man Sang from the Sang family tea shop, we were all guys who pulled fiber together. Later, when they got older, they changed their careers and did something else. I left early, looking at this fiber pulling is not a human job, tired and can't make a few dollars, so I quit, take a few hard-earned money earned by pulling fiber to support the boat as a book, and start to make my own medicinal materials to run the dock to do business, buy here and sell there. I worked hard for more than ten years, made a little money, and began to open this Hengchang medicine store ashore. Hey hey"

"It turns out that the old man is self-made, admirable!"

"Alas, it was bitter at that time!" Zhu medicine cabinet eyebrows flying and talking about the past, although talking about the bitterness of the past, there is a pride in his entrepreneurial experience that cannot be concealed between his eyebrows.

Listening to the old man's bragging by such a cold river, the cold wind was grinning, Zuo Shaoyang really couldn't hold on, but he could only hold on. Finally, Sang Wazi came in with a decoction of medicine: "I wish the old man, the medicine is good." ”

Zhu was happy to say the medicine cabinet, waved his hand to signal him to put the medicine down, continued to blow, and blew for a while, seeing that the medicine was cold, then he closed his mouth, and said: "We were really bitter at that time, the war was in chaos, and we pinned our heads to the waistband of our pants to make money." Alas, who are like you, born in blessings and do not know blessings! ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, how can he be so familiar with this, the older generation likes to teach the next generation like this, it seems that this is the case in ancient and modern times.

Zhu Yao shook his head and sighed for a while, then he took the medicine and drank it in one go, without wiping his mouth, and began to talk about his interesting story of selling medicine again.

Zhu medicine cabinet is very talkative, as soon as the box is opened, he talks endlessly for almost half an hour. Seeing Zuo Shaoyang shrinking his neck and clutching his sleeves and constantly looking at the sky, he said happily: "Okay, I'll put these past events for you when I have time in the future." ”

Zuo Shaoyang was amnesty, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, what do you think of drinking this medicine?" ”
