It is no secret that Liu Chunhua and Shen Wan'er went up to the mountain to collect medicine and sell it at the pharmacy for money, and some people came to the mountain from time to time to collect some medicinal materials.

But they don't know what medicinal herbs are and what weeds are, and they don't make much money when they pick them around.

"Actually, I also have some medicinal herbs at home, some of which should mature after a while, and I can take some of them to the pharmacy when the time comes."

"I don't need more, our town is so big, and there is more than one pharmacy, and the medicine is really not much, but it will be winter in a while, and there are more people who are sick in winter, so you can prepare a little properly."

Shen Wan'er nodded, although it was a medicinal herb, it was a medicinal herb that could be used to make vegetables, and as long as the proportions were right, the taste of the dish would be better than the average one.

There weren't too many people here, and although there was a path, there were weeds growing on both sides of the path.

Fortunately, in early summer, Shen Wan'er and Liu Chunhua used sticks to tie a lawn mower to cut the weeds on both sides, and the dried weeds could also be taken back as firewood.

At this time, the chrysanthemums everywhere on the mountain already have buds, and it must not be long before they bloom.

"After these chrysanthemums bloom, you can pick some to dry, and then soak in water to drink, which is also good for the body." On the way back, Shen Wan'er looked at the clusters of chrysanthemums, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"These chrysanthemums are everywhere, but you don't have to come to the mountains to pick them."

"There are also a lot of chrysanthemums on the roadside, just on the roadside from the town back to Peony Village, there are quite a lot."

After going back, she happened to see Shi Niang cooking, Shen Wan'er put down the back basket and went into the kitchen to cook with Shi Niang.

Master and Mrs. are both in their fifties, and it stands to reason that it should be when the house is full of children and grandchildren, but Shen Wan'er has not seen their sons and grandchildren by their side for a long time.

A few days ago, I found out that they once had a son and a daughter, and the son died in an accident when he was in his twenties, and the daughter-in-law was still young, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter, so he remarried.

There is also a daughter, who died in childbirth when she gave birth, and even the child was not saved, they were almost forty years old at that time, if they wanted to give birth, they could still give it a try, but the couple thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to.

Their daughters, who were in their teens, died in childbirth because of childbirth, and the Wang family was already that age, and it was impossible for the master to let her take risks.

"The food you cook is very much to the appetite of the old man in my family, even if it is just an ordinary cake, it tastes much better than the restaurants in the town, according to me, you can go and open a restaurant, and ensure that the business is booming."

Shi Niang is a rather hearty person, thin and thin, and looks quite energetic.

"Don't hide it from my mother, I really have this plan, but I won't open it by myself, but partner with others, after all, I have a girl who opens a store alone, it's still a little inappropriate, and my father is an unreliable one, if he lets him help me, I'm afraid I won't want to open this store."

In front of the master and the mother, Shen Wan'er never hid that her father was a gambler, and as long as he went to Peony Village to inquire about his family's affairs, everyone knew what it was like, so even if he wanted to hide it deliberately, it was useless, it was better to be frank.

Shi Niang's hand moved, and then sighed leisurely, "That's right, but your dad doesn't seem to have come to the gambling house in town recently." ”

Since her husband took Shen Wan'er as an apprentice, she also began to pay attention to Shen Da's movements.

Shen Wan'er nodded, scooped a little lard with a spoon and put it into the pot, added the ingredients, and finally served the food, "I watched him closely, and my sister was also watching at home, so it was true that I hadn't come to gamble for a long time." ”

Just two days ago, Shen Wan'er accidentally discovered that although Shen Da did not come to the town to gamble, he didn't know where to get a few dice, and played at home every day.

However, compared to gambling in the town, it is already very good to only play dice at home, so Shen Wan'er only saw it and didn't see it.

"That's right, Master." Shen Wan'er took out a box of balm from her arms, "This is my newly made balm, it tastes pretty good, I'll give it to you." ”

Shi Niang subconsciously wanted to refuse, "You have already given me Xiang Sister-in-law and balm last time, why do you send it again this time, I don't want it, your master and I are already this age, you are still a little girl's family, you have the balm to use yourself." ”

"I also have it at home, so you can continue it, this balm smells very good, the smell is faint, I only recently researched it, and the incense is floating all over the city and has no sale!"

Under Shen Wan'er's persuasion, Shi Niang took the box of balm, opened it and smelled it, sure enough, the smell was light, very good, but it was not a floral smell, but a faint fruity fragrance.

She was a little surprised, after all, most of the current balms are floral flavors, and it is relatively simple to extract the fragrance from flowers, but how does this fruity fragrance do it?

"I also studied for a while, and finally understood this refining method, and this balm is not just a taste, Master, you put it on your wrist, now smell it, after a stick of incense, smell it again after two sticks of incense, and the fragrance will be different."

This is called top notes and base notes in modern times, but these two terms were not available at all in ancient times, and once they were introduced, they were sure to be very popular.

It's just that this production is relatively troublesome, and it definitely can't be mass-produced, but you can go high-end.

Shi Niang was a little surprised, "A jar of balm can have two flavors, this is the first time I've heard of it." ”

"It's a bit of a hassle, and it's taken me a lot of effort just to do this."

When it was time to eat, Shi Niang sniffed the wrist where she had applied the balm, "Sure enough, there are some different smells, they all smell very good, Wan'er, your balm is amazing, if you sell it, you can definitely sell it for a lot of money." ”

Not only does the taste be different from other balms, but there are also two different flavors in chronological order, and this freshness alone is enough to make many ladies and ladies want to buy a box.

"This balm is indeed more troublesome to make, so the price will not be low, it should not be on it in the past two months, and you have to think about when it will be on it."

Shen Wan'er didn't deliberately hide anything about the incense floating in the city, and the master and the master didn't ask her face-to-face, but from what Shen Wan'er said before and now, she must be able to guess more or less.

"Wan'er is very capable and a fast learner."

Shen Wan'er was a little shy, "That's what the master taught well." ”

Doctor Zhou laughed heartily and stroked his beard, "You are too modest, what I can teach you is nothing more than some medical knowledge, as well as some experience in treating people over the years, and I am afraid that I can't teach you anything." ”

"Isn't that what Master teaches? In addition to the knowledge of medical skills, the most important thing in treating people is experience, after all, everyone cannot be as immutable as the book says. ”

The smile on Dr. Zhou's face when Shen Wan'er said it didn't stop, and the Wang family was also laughing and groaning.

After Shen Wan'er left, Wang sighed softly, "Wan'er, this girl is really good, she knows how to be polite and generous, she knows a lot, and she can be a person, but why does she wear a veil all the time, I look at Wan'er's eyes are still very beautiful." ”

Doctor Zhou also sighed softly, "I didn't ask that much, but seeing that this child has been wearing a veil for a while, I don't know if his face is hurt or what's wrong, so I'm not embarrassed to ask." ”

"I don't know if the kid is willing to say it, I'll find a time to knock on the side and ask, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"If there is only one scar, then it's okay to say, don't you have a way to remove scars?"

"Yes, there is, but if the scar is too long, there is no way to get rid of it all."

"That's better than doing nothing, Wan'er is a good girl now, but she can't delay a lifetime of major events because of these." As a girl, Wang naturally knows how important her appearance is to a girl.

"Her father is also an unsuccessful person, and now Wan'er is not very old, and in two years, we can help Wan'er as a master and a mother."

The smile on Wang's face deepened a little, "I look at you like this, as if I treat Wan'er as my own child." ”

Doctor Zhou snorted, "It seems that you didn't treat my son as your own child, where did you want to eat so well like you do now, it was pork at noon yesterday, and the chicken soup stewed at noon today was only eaten once in ten days and half a month, and now you can see meat every three or five days, I don't believe it if you don't take Wan'er to heart." ”

"Lao Zhou, sometimes I think, our two children are gone, who will this pharmacy be given to in the future, a few years ago, I also suggested that you accept an apprentice, but you are stubborn and refuse to accept it, and now you take the initiative to accept an apprentice, can you tell me what you think in your heart."

"What do you think, that's what I think, at the beginning I also saw that the kid was very talented in this area, and then I slowly found out that Wan'er's kid is really good, but it's too early to say so much, let's take a look at it later."

Although they are not young anymore, they still have some years to live, and who can say clearly in the future?

The paddy in the fields has already been harvested, and some people are busy loosening the soil, and they can plant something else before next spring arrives.

In the evening, the smoke curled in the Peony Village, and Shen Wan'er returned to the village with a basket on her back, and she would also say hello to the people on the side of the road.
