Chapter 10 County Command House

"Miss Cao, to be honest, she is very obsessed with herbal medicine. I know that the girl will not cheat, but I really can't figure it out, so I ask the girl to teach me! ”

When the shopkeeper saw that he was about to make a gesture to Cao Zhijin, he hurriedly stopped him and smiled at the two of them: "It's no wonder that the two of you will be distracted as long as you hear something related to herbs, and you accidentally lose your sense of proportion." ”

He whispered in his ear again: "Childe, you are a nobleman, if you salute two civilians, wouldn't it be a bad etiquette?" ”

He didn't dare to get too close to him, so although it was a whisper, Cao Zhijin heard a rough idea.

Qi Ying disagreed and said: "If the girl gives advice, it is my teacher, and I thank the teacher for it, which is not rude." ”

Cao Zhijin smiled: "Childe doesn't have to be like this, it's actually very simple. The bitter vitex and the wolf's tail collide with each other, and mixing it will naturally produce a smell, but if the fresh bitter wattle is boiled and then mixed with the wolf's tail, the smell will not be produced. ”

"Isn't it poisonous after boiling the bitter wattle?"

"It's a legend. There is no definite statement about how much true toxicity is. In fact, after decoction, bitter wattle is indeed poisonous, the toxicity is moderate, and if you use too much of it, it will be fatal. This kind of deworming medicine is mostly carried in a sachet, and after a long time, the person who wears it will be poisoned. Therefore, many doctors have actually thought of this method, but under the balance between effect and human life, they chose the latter. This is also the main reason why they can't make insect repellent medicine that has no taste. ”

The shopkeeper was shocked: "Then your anthelmintic medicine is not poisonous?" ”

"Poisonous or not, hasn't the shopkeeper already experienced it?"

"This ...... How so? ”

"It's even simpler. Because the wolf's tail and the bitter wattle are mutually restrictive, the toxicity of the bitter wattle is neutralized. Most doctors think that the wolf's tail will reduce the medicinal properties of the bitter wattle, so they will increase the amount of bitter wattle, but in fact, the real effect of the wolf's tail is to neutralize the toxicity of the bitter wattle. ”

"I see!" Qi Ying was amazed, "But the girl is really bold, she dares to think that ordinary people dare not think, and ordinary people dare not do it." ”

"I'm not taking the risk." Cao Zhijin subconsciously said, "I am ......"

She realized what she was about to say and quickly stopped.

Everyone looked at her, including Uncle Cao.

Before, no one in the village knew about Cao Zhijin's winter herbs.

What should she say, doesn't she know when she started to have this knowledge of herbs in her head?

"If it's inconvenient, the girl can leave it alone." Qi Ying cleared the siege for her.

He is really a good young man who keeps manners, and etiquette is greater than his curiosity.

"No inconvenience, I saw it in my father's collection of ancient medical books."

Uncle Cao nodded: "I believe it!" ”

He looked at Qi Ying introductoryly and said, "Village Chief Cao is the most knowledgeable person in the village, and I heard that he has been an official before!" ”

Qi Ying thought for a moment and asked, "But Cao Geng's seniors?" ”

"You know?" Uncle Cao asked.

Qi Ying said with a smile: "Village Chief Cao not only served as an official, but also won the champion back then, and was once a well-known figure in Shangcheng!" ”

"I didn't expect Miss Cao to be the daughter of Village Chief Cao. My father used to work with Ling Zun, but I didn't expect our two juniors to meet here again, it was really fate, why don't you move to get together in the next house? ”

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I promised Xianggong to go back earlier."

"Don't worry, girl, I'll ask the housekeeper to send you back and make sure you can get to Caojia Village before dark."

Seeing that Cao Zhijin was still thinking about it, he said earnestly: "In fact, there are selfish intentions below. Although the girl explained how to make odorless anthelmintic medicine, she could only understand it more thoroughly if she had seen it with her own eyes, so she wanted to ask the girl to demonstrate it to you. ”

"Uncle Cao, what do you think?" Cao Zhijin looked at Uncle Cao.

Uncle Cao said: "I'm afraid that my donkey will starve, and the shopkeeper will not necessarily feed me!" ”

"Then we ......"

"It's okay, I'll send someone to take it to the house."

Cao Zhijin wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect Qi Ying to say it first.

"I will go by myself, and my donkey will recognize me." Uncle Cao said undeniably.

Qi Ying suggested, "Then let's go together." ”

The final result was that Qi Ying walked in front in a carriage, and Uncle Cao and Cao Zhijin followed behind in a cart.

Fortunately, the carriage of the county order was hung with signs, and ordinary people did not dare to look at it casually, otherwise such a spectacle would definitely attract a large group of onlookers.

Uncle Cao seemed to be very excited.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't even bother to look at the place where the county lord lived, and took the lead in walking to the carriage and touching the horse's head.

"Uncle Cao is a horse lover?" Qi Ying asked when she saw this.

Uncle Cao retreated to the place and smiled: "I just haven't touched it, as long as you have money, who doesn't love horses?" ”

Qi Ying said: "Uncle Cao will lead the donkey to the stable, where is there a good horse collected by my father, Uncle Cao can go and see." ”

"Good, good!" Uncle Cao was overjoyed, led the donkey through the back door, and separated from Cao Zhijin.

Qiying took Cao Zhijin to the pharmacy.

Cao Zhijin was busy looking around.

"I thought the girl would be interested in the herbs below." Qi Ying laughed.

Cao Zhijin said: "There are many medicinal herbs in the back mountain of Caojia Village, and I don't feel strange to many common medicinal herbs, as for rare medicinal herbs, everyone thinks they are rare, and I don't need to spend time to be rare." It's this pharmacy ......"

"I wish there was a pharmacy so that I wouldn't end up frying bitter thorns in the kitchen and ruining a pot, and my husband wouldn't spend all the money on a new pot."

"The girl is endowed with extraordinary talents, and I believe that this wish of the girl will soon come true."

"Thanks, let's get started."

The utensils used to fry the bitter wattle can no longer be used to cook anything else. Cao Zhijin asked him to choose an old jar, and the oldest jar he picked up in the pharmacy was only two months old.

The outside of the jar was painted and glazed, and she believed that it was an ornament. There seems to be only one bowl in their glazed vessel, but unfortunately she was excited to be filled with insect repellent medicine.

"Why don't you change it!"

"Girl, forgive me for being rude, you've already picked it three times." Qi Ying laughed unnaturally.

Cao Zhijin withdrew his hand and thought: Forget it, just use this, you are poor does not mean that others are also poor!

……

"Here's the prescription I wrote." Cao Zhijin took out the prescription written in the space where he had just decocted the medicine.

"There's one more thing I want to ask Childe."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Qi Ying carefully put away the prescription.

She asked: "A few days ago, there was a case of assault on a horse in the bazaar, I wonder if the case has ever been tried?" ”

Qi Ying smiled apologetically: "I never ask about my father's affairs. However, when my father comes back, I can help the girl ask. ”

"Thank you then."

He stepped back to the side and stretched out his arms: "It's not early, I have already asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, girl, please." ”

When he arrived at the front yard, Uncle Cao walked in through the small door next to him, his face full of red light.

"Girl, guess what I saw?" He rushed over excitedly.

"What?"

"Horse, good horse!"

"If Uncle Cao likes it, you can come often." Qi Ying smiled.

"It's not appropriate, is it?" Uncle Cao looked a little cramped.

"Uncle Cao is a friend of Miss Cao, and Miss Cao has the grace to teach her below, so Uncle Cao is also a friend of the next, and between friends, there is no need to say this."

Uncle Cao didn't speak.

Qi Ying asked the housekeeper to take the two out.

When he got into the carriage, the butler picked up a gift box from the seat of the carriage and handed it to Cao Zhijin.

"This is Childe's thank-you to the girl."

Cao Zhijin opened it and saw that it was two pottery bowls, with exquisite workmanship and lifelike painting.

"Girl, what's the matter?"

Uncle Cao's donkey cart followed behind the carriage, and when he saw Cao Zhijin not getting on the carriage, he shouted.

"Uncle Cao, it's okay."

Cao Zhijin collected the pottery bowl and climbed into the carriage.
