Chapter 63: Ginseng's Beard

Zuo Shaoyang taught Miao Peilan how to rough process these medicinal materials, how to keep and store them, and the raw materials of medicinal materials that have been preliminarily processed are more valuable, easy to collect and preserve, and can also ensure the efficacy of the medicine.

Back at Miao Peilan's house, Miao's mother saw him coming back, and said urgently: "Xiao Langzhong, the housekeeper of Master Jia's family is looking for you everywhere, saying that your father said that he was going back after lunch." ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly picked up the medicine box to say goodbye, and Miao Peilan said happily: "I'll go down the mountain and enter the city with you, I want to see how much these medicinal materials can be sold for." ”

"Okay!"

"Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village."

"Don't be busy, we still have to eat, we won't leave until we eat, you eat first and then go, and you can also take the time to learn to process the medicinal materials according to the method I taught you."

Miao Peilan hurriedly agreed, and Zuo Shaoyang ran back to Jia's house with the medicine box on his back.

When Zuo Gui saw him come back, his face sank: "Where did you go?" ”

"I, I just spun around. Dad, shall we go? ”

"What to go, first give Young Master Jia and Aunt Li a follow-up examination, and then prescribe medicine before leaving. You ran away from the medicine box, how can I prescribe medicine! ”

"Oh."

The rich man Jia hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to ask his wife to bring the child. After a while, the wife of the rich man Jia came over with the child in her arms and sat down on the chair.

Zuo Gui first unbuttoned the child's clothes and checked the situation of the measles rash, and found that the rash was faint, the spot color had been reduced a lot, the breathing was basically normal, his mind was clear, and he did not have convulsions, and he could answer the question, and he found that the high fever had also subsided significantly, although there was still some fever, but it was much better than last night.

Zuo Gui stroked his beard and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "If the effect is not better, add two dollars to the front on the basis of the cicada clothes." Prescribe two doses first, and we will come back for a follow-up visit the day after tomorrow, and make adjustments as the syndrome is present. ”

Zuo Shaoyang knew that Daddy Zuo Gui added the cicada clothes in front of him in order to further increase the dissipation of wind and heat and antispasmodic, so as to promote lung dialysis. I agreed, and suggested that my father add a medicine forsythia. Because forsythia is a common medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying and evacuating wind and heat, it can help to penetrate the heat and reach the surface, and clear the heat and detoxify. Zuo Gui thought about it very much and nodded in agreement.

Jia's family is very happy, the last time he came back from Huimin Tang, although the child has also improved, but he now also knows, Huimin Tang is just the right medicine, did not find the root of the disease, so the child relapsed that night, if it were not for the Guizhi Tang Zuo Langzhong father and son, only afraid of the ferocious and auspicious, now I understand that the child turned out to be measles, I heard that many children are measles treatment is not good or not timely, just like his son, the high fever does not go away, and the result is frightened to death. Looking back, I can't help but be afraid. Fu is even more grateful to Zuo Langzhong's father and son. Originally, he wanted to stay with Zuo Gui's father and son for a few more days, but when he heard Zuo Gui say that his son-in-law's family was going to come to pay New Year's greetings at night, and there was only one old wife in the family, it was not easy to force him to stay, so he hurriedly ordered a banquet to entertain the two fathers and sons.

After setting up a wine banquet, Zuo Gui took Zuo Shaoyang to Aunt Li's house for a follow-up. Aunt Li is a little better than in the morning, and her half-paralyzed right side can even move her fingers. Zuo Gui was very happy and asked Zuo Shaoyang to continue to use prescriptions to grab medicine. According to the improvement of Zuo Shao**'s condition, he canceled the Suhexiang pill, and at the same time removed the citrus aurantium in the phlegm soup and replaced it with three coins of Dongbaizhu and two coins of ginseng, the purpose of which is to strengthen the spleen and strengthen the body.

Ginseng is a fine root that has been broken off during the working hours of the mountain. Despite this, the price of this ginseng is still very expensive, and Guizhitang does not have any kinds of precious medicinal materials. And ginseng is an indispensable medicine for strengthening the spleen. Zuo Shaoyang thought about it for a while, and whispered to his father Zuo Gui: "Dad, I see that Aunt Li's body is very weak, do you want to talk to Master Jia and ask for a little ginseng to make up for her, and she will get better faster." ”

Zuo Gui thought about it, and also felt that this suggestion was very good, he didn't know that Aunt Li's disease was best supplemented with a little ginseng, but this family is so poor, where can they have the money to buy such valuable medicinal materials, and it is precisely for this reason that Aunt Li and they ran all over the city to the pharmacy, but they refused to treat him. This is very good for Aunt Li's illness. He nodded slowly.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly found a prescription to grab the medicine, and Mrs. Li's family was very happy to see that Mrs. Li's condition had improved significantly, and they were even more grateful to Zuo Gui's father and son. scraped together enough money for the medicine, but Zuo Gui only asked Zuo Shaoyang to collect the capital of medicinal materials.

Back at the rich man's house, the banquet had been set.

Riding the wine to drink to the happy place, Zuo Gui euphemistically mentioned that Aunt Li's illness needed a little ginseng treatment, and the rich man Jia readily agreed, and ordered someone to take a box of ginseng, so that Zuo Gui could take what he needed. Zuo Gui didn't take much, he only pulled a few ginseng whiskers down, saying that so much was enough. The rich man Jia asked Steward Jia to send it to Aunt Li personally. Zuo Gui also told that this ginseng should not be decocted with other medicines, so as not to be wasted, and it should be decocted and taken separately. Steward Jia hurriedly agreed, and took the ginseng to Mrs. Li's family.

After eating, the wine was slightly drunk, and Zuo Gui's father and son carried the medicine box on their backs to say goodbye and go home. The rich man of Jia instructed the housekeeper to bring a large cloth bag, and when he untied it, there were two silk horses and two silk cotton beds.

Jia Caizhu said: "Zuo Langzhong, your father and son have to come to our mountain village to patrol the doctor on the New Year's Day, it is very hard, and thanks to the two of them for saving the child, I am grateful, and I am grateful to the contemptible people who have prepared a little profit, and I will express my gratitude." Please smile at Lang Zhong. ”

Zuo Gui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Jia, the consultation money you gave twice is more than enough, you can't give money and things every time, this old man deserves it, and he won't dare to come in the future." ”

Jia said with a smile: "The first two times were the consultation fee, so this time the contemptible people did not pay the consultation fee, and the two pieces of cloth and two beds of silk cotton were prepared as a little respect for the two New Year's trips up the mountain to diagnose the disease, and they worked hard all the way, which is a small gift for the Spring Festival, not a diagnosis fee." That is, to make two sets of clothes or something, and in the future, the two of them will go around the village to practice medicine, and it is better to dress warmly, don't treat people yet, and fall ill yourself. Hehehe. ”

Hearing what the rich man Jia said, Zuo Gui arched his hand and said: "Thank you Master Jia for your love, then ......, the old man will be ashamed." ”

Zuo Shaoyang carried the package on his back, followed his father Zuo Gui to leave the Jia family, and came to the entrance of the village. I saw Miao Peilan sitting under the old locust tree from a distance, waiting, and put a back basket next to her, so she said to Zuo Gui: "Dad, Miss Peilan has picked some medicinal herbs and wants to go down the mountain to the city to sell, and she wants to go with us." All right? ”

"Okay, what's not to do." Zuo Gui was in a good mood, and took the initiative to say hello to Miao Peilan under the tree, the first few times they met, Zuo Gui's father was lukewarm, which made Miao Peilan a little flattered.

Miao Peilan saw that Zuo Shaoyang was carrying a medicine box on his back and a large package, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Zuo Gui's father walking in front of him carrying the bell doctor's flag, so she took the big package from Zuo Shaoyang's shoulder with a red face and put it on her back basket. Zuo Shaoyang knew that she had a lot of strength, and she was really worried about carrying such a big package down the mountain, in case she fell, it would be a pity to stain the fabric silk. I thanked him repeatedly.

Miao Peilan smiled: "Thank you, Zuo Langzhong, you taught me how to pick herbs, I didn't thank you." It's nothing to carry something for you. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said in a low voice: "Miss Peilan, there is a small request, can you agree." ”

Miao Peilan looked at him sideways.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said in a low voice: "We are also acquaintances, and we will cooperate in planting medicinal materials in the future, so don't be so raw, in the future, I will call you Peilan, and you will call me Brother Zuo, okay?" ”

Miao Peilan's swarthy face flushed with a flush, and she glanced at him quickly, and then nodded generously: "Well, Brother Zuo!" ”

"Hey, Perran!"

As he spoke, he walked down the mountain.

Halfway down the mountain, the snow became heavier and heavier. Although Miao Peilan carried a basket of medicinal herbs on her back, and the large package containing silk and silk cotton was stacked high on the back basket, she walked very steadily, Zuo Shaoyang slipped several times along the way, Miao Peilan seemed to guess that Zuo Shaoyang was going to slip, and caught him in time every time. Otherwise, when he went down to the foot of the mountain, Zuo Shaoyang was sure that he would definitely become a mud monkey.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, especially for the steep mountain road full of mud, and in order to take care of Zuo Shaoyang's walking speed, it took them almost an hour to go down the mountain before they went down to the foot of the mountain.
