Chapter 106: Tea Money
Zuo Gui looked at Zuo Shaoyang with a smile, and when he saw that he wanted to speak, he asked, "What's wrong?" β
Zuo Shaoyang thought about it, but decided to express the doubts in his heart: "Dad, this old man said that he has been sick for a long time ...... ...... time."
Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted to say it for three years, but he felt that it was inappropriate, since his father had already asserted that it was typhoid fever, if he said so, his father might hesitate, and if he hesitated, it would be troublesome, just afraid that it would make people laugh.
Zuo Guidao: "What's wrong with the long time?" Who told you that if you have a long time, you are not a typhoid sun? β
"This ......, hehe. I'm just not sure about that. β
"And I ask you? Isn't he chilling? β
"Chills."
"Do you have a fever?"
"Fever."
"What is this not solar typhoid?" Zuo Gui stroked his beard and said, "Let me ask you again, how is his pulse like tongue?" β
"The pulse is tight, and the tongue is white."
"The tongue doesn't tell you all, you can take a good look. Look at the light at the gate. Look at the tongue! β
Zuo Shaoyang was very puzzled, so he asked Li Jiaoshang to twist his face towards the gate, stick out his tongue, and lean in to take a closer look. I found that the tongue was light and ruddy, and the light was not very good before, but now I found that the tongue coating was yellow and white, and the tongue was slightly purple and dark. Not only did his heart move, but this showed that the cold condensation time should have been very long, and it belonged to Chen Han and depression. This responds to what the patient says is a long time.
Could it be that there is really a situation of typhoid fever that has not been solved for three years? Zuo Shaoyang found that his head was a little cloudy.
Zuo Gui finally showed his face, stroked his beard very proudly, and smiled: "Now, can you confirm what the disease is?" β
Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "It's solar typhoid fever." β
"What should I use?"
"Ephedra soup."
"Hmm." Zuo Gui nodded with satisfaction, although he let Zuo Shaoyang learn to see a doctor, he would not let him prescribe medicine. I took the pen and paper that Zuo Shaoyang had just brought, and wrote two coins of Guizhi with a pen. Ephedra in ephedra soup is a gentleman's medicine. The dosage is also higher than that of cinnamon sticks. But Zuo Gui likes to use cinnamon sticks for medicine, so no matter whether it is green or white, the next pen is cinnamon sticks. After finishing it, I wrote ephedra three coins, licorice six coins, and almonds five coins. Prescribe two doses in a row.
Zuo Gui handed the prescription to Li Jiaoshang.
Li Jiaoshang looked at the prescription and said with a smile: "Zuo Langzhong, you just prescribed such a simple few flavors of medicine, and you can cure me of my fever for three years?" β
"The medicine is not too much, but accurate."
"How do you know you're going to have these pills?"
The medicine cabinet next to him smiled and said, "You old guy is making trouble, aren't you?" If you don't have it, don't you know if you catch two payments to eat? β
Li Jiaoshang was really a little afraid of this medicine cabinet, so he smiled and said, "Okay, when I finish drinking tea, I will go to their Guizhitang to grab two pills to eat." β
Zuo Gui said: "These two medicines are for you to sweat, if you feel slightly sweating after eating, and the cold has also subsided, you can come to my Guizhitang for follow-up, and I will adjust the medication for you with the certificate." If it doesn't work, then my medical skills are inferior and I can't cure your disease, so you don't have to come. β
The more modest Zuo Gui said, the more embarrassed Li Jiaoshang became, and said: "You father and son both coincidentally said that it was this disease, it should be right, it should be good to eat it!" β
A tea guest next to him smiled: "...... the tea money of the father and son of Zuo Langzhong?" β
Li Jiaoshang originally wanted to repay the account and didn't know whether it was accurate or not, but the doctors that the father and son saw separately said that it was a sign of typhoid fever, and he didn't know how to treat it, so he couldn't refute it, so he just thought he was right, but it was just two cups of tea. Laughing: "I'll give!" ββShopkeeper Sang, how much is the tea money of the two of them in Zuo Langzhong? I paid for them! β
Father Sang kept holding a copper kettle and looked there, and when he heard this, he hurriedly came over and laughed: "A cup of five cents, a total of ten cents." β
Li Jiaoshang was pulling out his money bag outside, and was startled when he heard this: "What? Ten cents? Isn't a cup of tea two pennies? β
"The two of them are drinking Mengding Wanchun Silver Leaves, hehe."
Li Jiaoshang smiled bitterly and pointed at Zuo Gui with his finger: "Okay, you are Zuo Langzhong, you are ...... poor, what's the matter, you still drink Mengding Wanchun Silver Leaf?" Yours is it! β
Zuo Langzhong smiled and groaned, and said with a smug smile: "My eldest man respects me, yesterday he bought me a tael of Mengding Wanchun silver leaves and left it at home to drink it, this morning, I asked for this tea, I didn't plan to let you pay the bill, hehe, if it's too expensive, then I'll pay it myself." β
"Don't bargain! I've said everything, you don't let me pay, that's not a slap in the face, I'll pay! Li Jiaoshang took out ten cents and handed it to Father Sang.
Father Sang smiled: "You are right, Zuo Lang has excellent Chinese medicine skills, and he prescribed you a prescription, and you will be cured when you go back to take a meal!" Think about it, if you don't get better for three years, let Zuo Langzhong cure you with two doses of medicine, and you will thank others for two cups of tea, which also takes advantage of the boss! β
Everyone laughed.
The medicine cabinet on the side said to Father Sang: "Sang Laohan, you are also very right, hey, since you think that Zuo Lang is skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, then you can still look at the Guizhitang, now Zuo Langzhong even dares to drink Mengding Wanchun silver leaf tea, Xiao Langzhong also made an appointment with our Hengchang Pharmacy to help us concoct medicinal materials and build a warehouse of medicinal materials. A well-off home without worrying about food and clothing also refers to things in between. Xiaolangzhong and your little sister are talented and beautiful, very compatible, why are you waiting for this marriage if you don't get married early? My little sister also has sixteen or seventeen, right? It's time to find an in-law, isn't it just right for someone like Zuo Langzhong? β¦β¦β
Sang Xiaomei's face suddenly turned like a big red cloth, and she turned her head and walked towards the kitchen, but her ears were open to listen to them. Zuo Shaoyang was very surprised, he didn't know what to say, and he was stunned.
Zuo Gui smiled and stroked his beard and looked at Sang Xiaomei, thinking about this family affair in his heart.
Daddy Sang hurriedly snorted, and was about to speak, when a person behind him said coldly: "My little sister has already made a promise!" "It was Sang Mu who spoke.
Everyone present was surprised, and Sang Xiaomei also stood still, but she didn't turn around, her face was already pale.
Zhu looked at Sang's mother in the medicine cabinet and said, "Little sister has promised someone?" Who's the promise? β
Sang's mother smiled and said, "Naturally, there are people who have land, a house, and a servant, is it possible to let my daughter marry those families who are so poor that they don't even have a home to live and suffer...... β
Father Sang was startled and hurriedly pulled him: "What nonsense are you talking about?" β
Sang Mu just sneered.
Zuo Gui felt a little awkward when he heard what Sang Mu said just now, turned his face to look at her, and saw that her eyes didn't look at him at all, obviously it had nothing to do with him. Besides, there are no houses in Shijing County, and there are many people who rent houses to live in, and they are not the only ones, so they don't have to sit in the right seats.
Zhu medicine cabinet sighed, and said to Sang Mu: "It turned out to be climbing a high branch." Hehe, the Sang family, don't like to listen to it, the old man is very optimistic about the little man of the Zuo family, don't look at him cowering now, he doesn't eat enough to cover his body, his future future is absolutely limitless! Don't look away! β
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly laughed and said, "Uncle Zhu has won the award." β
Sang's mother really wants to say that you think it's good for you to marry your daughter to him, but not to mention that the medicine cabinet is an old friend of her husband, but more importantly, it is the big customer of this tea shop, who spends a lot of money here, and such a customer can not be offended. Busy with a smile: "That's right, Xiaolang is the dragon and phoenix among people, and my little sister can't climb high, hehe." β
Although Zuo Gui secretly advised himself not to sit in the opposite seat, Sang Mu still made him very uncomfortable when he spoke, and the interest just now was gone, so he got up and arched his hand and said, "It's not too early, I have to go back." If you want to see a doctor, you can come to Guizhitang to see me. Leave! β
The old woman who had prepared to give Zuo Gui a look at the illness first hurriedly said, "Zuo Langzhong, can you give me a look at the illness?" I've been having pain in my joints all this time......"
"I'm sorry!" Zuo Gui was no longer in the mood to stay, so he clenched his fists and said: "If you always want to see a doctor, come to the court, and the consultation fee is only a cup of tea and two pennies." With that, he walked out of the tea shop with his hands behind his back and slowly. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly followed out. The tea guests dispersed.
Father Sang pulled Sang Mu to the kitchen and asked in a low voice, "You just said that the little sister has already promised someone, who did you promise it to?" Why didn't I know? β
"Hey! Didn't I prevaricate them with that just now, otherwise, you will be confused for a while, and you will give your little sister to their Zuo family like this, so what should I do? β
"How could I be confused? With his Zuo Langzhong's medical skills, it is fortunate that he can feed the family, and his son Zuo Zhong is a wreck! Do you still want to be rich and glorious? Hehe, naturally I won't give the three girls to his family, I'm going to give them early. Rest assured, I know what to expect. β
"That's good! ββOr find a matchmaker to talk to the shopkeeper Zhu of Jinyu Restaurant, let him add more dowry, and give him the three girls as a child. and lest the night be long and dreamy. β
"Well, I think so. But I'm afraid that the three girls won't be happy. β
"What's not to like? What's wrong with being a little one? Eat fragrant and drink spicy, how good it is to wear gold and silver. She'll know it in the past! β
Suddenly, I heard Sang Xiaomei's voice behind me: "I'm not married!" I won't marry even if I die! β
The two turned around sharply, and saw Sang Xiaomei looking at them with a red face and tears in her eyes. Sang Mu said angrily: "It's up to you to marry or not!" Besides, what's wrong with Shopkeeper Zhu? Even if you are small in the past, it is better to be big than in a poor family! β
"Of course you think it's good! Sell me, and you'll make a lot of money! Don't worry about my life or death! - I tell you, I am a man, not an animal! I will never let you sell at a price like my two sisters! β
"Listen! Listen to it! Sang's mother pointed at Sang Xiaomei and yelled at Sang's father, "Listen to what your girl is talking about?" I worked so hard to raise her, just to make her angry with me for him? β
Father Sang sneered: "Don't pay attention to her, just stuff it in the sedan chair when the time comes." I can't help her! β
Sang Xiaomei's tears flowed down her eyes, and she said sadly: "If you want to force yourself, I will die in front of the sedan chair!" Let you go! With that, he turned and ran out of the kitchen.
