Chapter 24: The Pharmacy
The mutton soup is freshly baked and very hot.
When I mixed the soup just now, I was afraid of burning my hands, and I pulled the cuffs across the edge of the bowl, and my fingertips still felt hot.
However, when the soup was poured, the soup was really thick and white, slightly fat, but more of the umami of mutton soup.
Even the weather in early April makes people whet their appetite.
I saw that in the coarse porcelain bowl, the soup was milky white and rich, covered with a thin layer of mutton fat, probably there was no coriander at the moment, and only some green onions were sprinkled on the soup.
Take bamboo chopsticks to the soup and fish, except for one or two pieces of mutton, they are all haggis, take a closer look, sheep tripe, sheep intestines, sheep lungs but put a lot.
At this time, haggis was also regarded as an inferior ingredient, not even meat, and was called sheep water. Even in modern times, some fastidious people don't look down on sheep and water.
But as an ordinary person with good roots, in her opinion, haggis is a good thing, especially lamb tripe is not cheaper than meat in modern times.
I really didn't expect that in ancient times, eating a bowl of mutton soup could have so many haggis, which was all meat in her eyes.
Liu Chenxing couldn't wait, he didn't care that the mutton soup was steaming, he boasted a few times, and hurriedly took a sip of the soup by the bowl.
Not!
This mutton soup is ......
Liu Chenxing's eyes widened.
"What's wrong? But it's hot? Seeing this, Liu Qianli hurriedly said with concern.
Liu Chenxing took a small sip of soup, his cheeks were bulging, but he was reluctant to swallow it.
Where was she burned, she was surprised.
Mutton has a strong taste, in addition to ginger and garlic to remove the smell, there is also pepper to remove the smell, and make the mutton soup fresher, it can be said that pepper and mutton soup are a perfect match.
The mouthful of soup she drank just now, although the taste was a little strong, was still delicious and delicious, and more importantly, she tasted the pepper!
Spicy and aromatic!
Exactly pepper!
Liu Chenxing said excitedly: "In addition to salt seasoning in this soup, there areββ"
When he almost blurted out the pepper, the uncle who sold the mutton soup said with a proud face: "Of course it's pepper!" β
"So don't think I'm selling it!" The uncle who sells mutton soup is a businessman, so he took the opportunity to advertise to his diners: "We all know that we need pepper to eat mutton, but pepper is a precious thing, and it is sold from the Western Regions, so I am willing to put some!" Other stalls, even if they put more mutton than me, the cost and taste are not as good as mine! β
Hearing this, an old diner nodded and said: "Your mutton soup, there are only two or three slices of mutton, and the rest are all mutton water, but with pepper to enhance the taste, it is indeed more positive than other home flavors, and the sheep is good to eat." β
Liu Chenxing sighed quietly.
She almost told the pepper, and now that the pepper is so precious, Aya must ask her how she knows.
didn't want to have any more moths, and she still had a plan to sell dendrobium flowers after lunch, so Liu Chenxing hurriedly plugged her mouth with mutton soup.
The first bite of Hu Cake is a roast cake sprinkled with sesame seeds, which is crispy and crispy.
Another bite of mutton soup, another bite of haggis, it's really happy.
Especially the spicy taste of pepper in his mouth, it almost made Liu Chenxing tear when he ate it, and it was not an exaggeration at all, anyone who had seasoned only salt for five years would be like this.
Probably too satisfied, the food inspired her determination to make a fortune, and after lunch, Liu Chenxing carried a small basket on his back and went directly to the largest pharmacy in Qingyang County.
"If the child is not sensible, forget it! How did you do that, Aya? It's up to your daughter to mess around, too! Sell wildflowers as fairy grass!? What a joke! A thin-faced apprentice in the store looked at the white-purple flowers in Liu Chenxing's back basket ridiculously.
Liu Qianli originally thought that the wildflowers were worthless, and he would really come to the pharmacy to ask, but he couldn't stand the little daughter's begging.
At this time, I heard the people in the pharmacy say this, even if the other party was just a junior apprentice at first glance, it also made him believe that it was so, these are wild flowers, so I don't blame the thin-faced apprentice for not speaking well, it is indeed they messing around.
"I'm sorry."
Liu Qianli also knows how to read, and he knows carpentry, he is a good talent in Anjia Village, and the environment has created his unyielding and unyielding, so he was reprimanded in person, but he was not cramped, but fell into a generous fist salute and said goodbye: "It's us messing around, so it's bothering." β
Liu Chenxing could count on Dendrobium to sell money to make a fortune, but she was sent away without even seeing the pharmacy manager, she was not reconciled.
Unable to break free of Liu Qianli's hand holding her away, she shouted loudly towards the medicine store: "I am a fairy grass that grows from the cracks in the stones, and the petals are white and purple. The rhizome is erect ......"
Liu Chenxing loudly described the appearance of the dendrobium hairpin, and saw that no one had come out yet, but she had been led out of the pharmacy by Liu Qianli, so she had to howl for the last time, "If you don't want this fairy grass, we will sell it to the pharmacy at the entrance of the market!" β
Liu Baili works as a wine doctor in the largest liquor store in Qingyang County, and he usually comes into contact with a lot of three religions and nine streams, and the county seat is not big, so he naturally knows a lot about things in the county.
Just like there are three pharmacies in Qingyang County, the pharmacies at the bottom of the city are the oldest and the largest, but the pharmacies at the entrance of the city have developed quite rapidly in recent years, because they have many precious medicinal materials, and they are liked by the wealthy families in Qingyang County, and they have been catching up in recent years.
Liu Chenxing had already inquired about Liu Baili clearly on the way here.
The reason why she preferred this pharmacy was not because it was the largest pharmacy in the county.
There are many rare medicinal herbs in the Naishikou family, and her dendrobium flowers are not indispensable to them. In addition, how simple is it to have a supply of precious medicinal materials? She is a small peasant girl who must not be provoked.
The pharmacy at the bottom of the city, as a veteran pharmacy in Qingyang County, is facing competition from its opponents and is in urgent need of precious medicinal materials.
What's more, this pharmacy has always had a good reputation, especially among the people. Then she will be more secure when she starts a business.
Therefore, if this family is unwilling to buy, her second choice is to open the pharmacy in the middle of the city, and the last choice is the one at the entrance of the market.
"Wait a minute! Let me take a look! Just as he was about to walk away regretfully, a thin middle-aged man with a goatee walked out of the inner hall quickly.
Liu Chenxing's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped, "Aye, let's wait a minute!" β
Liu Qianli was helpless, glanced at Liu Chenxing warningly, and apologized again: "The little girl is messing around, it's just a wild flower, I hope you forgive me." β
The middle-aged man with a goatee listened to Liu Qianli's conversation, he was not an ordinary farmer, he vaguely looked like he had read a book, and he looked forward to Liu Chenxing's description a little more.
thought that Liu Qianli categorically rejected him, because of the unhappiness just now, and hurriedly greeted him: "I hope you don't want to be surprised, my little apprentice has something to do at home recently, and he is anxious, so he speaks like this." I also hope that the advanced pharmacy will allow me to take a look at one or two. β
At this point, it's not good not to go to the pharmacy.
Liu Qianli glanced at the troublesome little daughter helplessly, returned to the pharmacy, and handed over the flowers in the basket of the little daughter.
"Dendrobium! It's really a dendrobium flower! β
