Chapter 11 Pharmacy

Qiao Ru was moved by the two of them, so he said again:

Let's take some back, and if we can sell it, we have to try it.

After speaking, he took the hoe in Qiao Laixing's hand, squatted down and began to dig.

Okay, sister, we listen to you.

Qiao Ruxin also squatted down and dug up with Qiao Ruyi.

Qiao Ruyi saw it, then pointed at Qiao Ruxin and said:

Be careful, don't dig out its roots, dig it out at the roots, and the next year won't be long.

Well, I know, sister, Qiao Nina agreed.

Qiao Laixing saw the two of them like this, so he had to pick up the horse amaranth teeth dug by the two of them into the back basket. Qiao Ruyi finished digging up this piece of amaranth and tooth cabbage, looked into the distance, and thought in his heart:

There must be wild vegetables on this mountain, so I'll look for them next time.

Qiao Ruyi looked down at the wild vegetables in Qiao Laixing's back basket again, nodded and muttered:

Let's see if these wild vegetables can be sold, if they can be sold, look elsewhere, there must still be them.

Qiao Laixing didn't know if these wild vegetables could be sold for money, but seeing that Qiao Ruyi's body was just better, he let her go, so he packed up the wild vegetables they dug up, and said:

Sister, Ruxin, let's go.

Qiao Ruyi nodded when he heard this, and was about to leave, but then after thinking about it, he took a few steps forward and lowered the amaranth teeth in the back basket, and then covered them with weeds.

After Qiao Ruyi finished doing this, he said to Qiao Laixing again, Qiao Ruxin:

Let's not go back yet, let's go straight to town.

Shuiwan Town is five or six miles away from Qiaojiazhuang, there is a rather wide road down the mountain, follow this road, go to the end, turn a corner and go straight, then you will arrive at Shuiwan Town, Qiao Ruyi thought about going directly to the town.

Okay, sister, let's go together.

Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin nodded and said.

Alright, let's go

Qiao Ruyi said, and took Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin followed the road and walked to Shuiwan Town, five or six miles away, the three of them stopped and stopped, and they also walked for almost half an hour.

The cross street of Shuiwan Town is the most prosperous place, and there are all kinds of shops on the left and right of the street, including cloth villages, oil and salt shops, tea houses, inns, and restaurants. This cloth village, oil and salt shop, and tea shop all have cloth banners hanging in front of them, with the name of their shop written on them, and a salt is written in front of the oil and salt shop, a cloth is written in front of the cloth village, and a tea is written in front of the tea house. In front of the inn and restaurant, there are gold-edged foreheads, and the name of their own store is written on it.

Qiao Ruyi was walking with her younger siblings, and stopped when she saw a pharmacy. There was a sign hanging in front of the medicine shop, which said Ai Ren Tang, and Qiao Ruyi walked in with his younger siblings. As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old doctor sitting behind the counter.

The doctor in this Airentang is surnamed Chen, who has been practicing medicine for generations, and opened this small pharmacy in Shuiwan Town to get by. He was holding a book in both hands, looking down at the book, Qiao Ruyi recognized that this person was Dr. Chen who was treating him, but it was a coincidence, Qiao Ruyi thought in his heart.

When Dr. Chen saw someone coming in, he looked up and saw that it was a girl who had seen a doctor a few days ago, so he said:

Isn't this the girl of the Qiao family, the injury on her head is healed?

Thank you Dr. Chen, I really took your medical skills, and my body has only been healed in a few days, my head doesn't hurt anymore, and I can go to the ground.

Qiao Ruyi said with a smile, she deliberately said some good things to make her next business smoother, but what Qiao Ruyi said was not a lie, this Dr. Chen is indeed not bad, not the one who sells his reputation.

Dr. Chen also smiled when he heard this, he was a doctor, and he was naturally proud to see his patients recover and hear patients praise his medical skills.

Dr. Chen, I came today because I got some healing herbs in the mountains. I thought about coming to the town to find a pharmacy to sell, but I didn't expect to come to you, Dr. Chen.

Oh, what herbs?

When Dr. Chen heard this, his eyes lit up and he was quite interested.

Qiao Ruyi turned around and took out two amaranth teeth from Qiao Laixing's back basket, handed them to Dr. Chen, and said:

Dr. Chen, I don't know if you know this amaranth tooth, this amaranth tooth can cure dysentery, reduce fever, and also have anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects, if it is mashed and applied externally to the swollen poisonous area, it can also be used to treat poisonous snake bites and hemorrhoids.

Qiao Ruyi talked carefully about the benefits of this amaranth to Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen kept nodding and said,

It has been written in the book of medicinal herbs that amaranth tooth, fleshy herb, fat and juicy, edible and medicated, has the effect of anti-inflammatory and dysentery.

Dr. Chen took the amaranth tooth in his hand and couldn't stop looking at it and nodded.

And then he said,

Qiao's girl, how many do you have?

Although they got half a basket, almost two catties, Qiao Ruyi knew that scarcity was expensive, and she didn't want to take it all out, so she replied:

We were hunting sheep grass in the mountains, and we found a dozen of them in a narrow corner, and when my father was there, I heard him say that this was a good thing, so I took my younger siblings and dug them up and came to town. If Dr. Chen thinks this amaranth is useful, we will go back to the mountains to look for it, and we can find it in the future.

Dr. Chen nodded, he also knew that there were many wild vegetables in the mountains and fields that could be used for medicine, and when he was young, he often went to the field to collect herbs for medicine, but in recent years, he was also old and couldn't stand such bumps, so he had to use other prescriptions and medicinal materials, but they all had good medicinal effects and low cost.

Dr. Chen pondered for a moment and said:

In this way, Qiao girl, I want more than a dozen of your plants, and if you find herbs in the mountains in the future, you will send them to me, one plant is three dollars, do you think it is feasible?

Qiao Ruyi listened to it and replied briskly:

That's it, my younger brothers and sisters and I will go to the mountains to look for it again in the next few days, if there is anything else, give a piece to Dr. Chen to see, whether it can be used, the price Dr. Chen has the final say.

The girl of the Qiao family is really a cheerful person, well, she will definitely have a big future in the future.

Dr. Chen said with a smile.

Doctor Chen, don't call me Qiao's girl, my name is Ruyi, this is my younger brother, Laixing, sister, Ruxin, Doctor Chen just call our names directly.

Qiao Ru thought that the business was done, and he was happy in his heart, so he said.

That line, that line.

Doctor Chen saw Qiao Ruyi's clever speech, and looked at Qiao Laixing who was following behind, Qiao Ruxin was also well-behaved, and agreed in his heart.

Qiao Ruyi turned around and took out a large handful of amaranth teeth from the back basket that Qiao Laixing was carrying, she made a heart when she came, divided the dug horse amaranth into two parts, and put them in the two back baskets, Qiao Laixing's back basket was almost a dozen, Qiao Ruyi took them out directly, and sorted them out in her hands, a total of sixteen complete.

Qiao Ruyi stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said to Dr. Chen:

Doctor Chen, here, these are sixteen plants, Qiao Ruyi put aside the short and missing leaves, and didn't count them.
