Chapter 18: Cheeky
Qiao An took out a manuscript of "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Relic" from his arms and handed it to star fruit: "Give this to him, he will definitely accept it." As long as you accept it, he won't be able to pull his face to drive you away. Of course, if you want him to have a good face for you, you have to work hard yourself. β
Looking at the title of the book, Carambola was so shocked that she almost choked on the bun: "Isn't this book lost?" β
Thinking that he used the "Analects" as a legal record, the star fruit looked at him with suspicion: "It's terrible to be found to be a fraud." β
"It can't be fake." Joan stuffed the book into her arms with the rest of the buns, then turned and left: "It's not good to be bumped into us in the woods. I'll go back first, and you can go too! β
He strode away, not at all nostalgic. But when he turned into the dark, he turned around and looked at her figure fixedly. Seeing her holding the book and making it difficult, seeing her trying to chase and pausing, watching her put away her precious things, watching her walk out of the woods step by step......
He looked at the direction in which she disappeared and pursed his lips: Star fruit, you have no idea how serious I am! How serious I am about you!
When star fruit went to Qiao's pharmacy to report, it happened that Zhao Langzhong took the medicine boy to the clinic. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and distributed some of her home-grown melons and fruits to everyone to eat.
Qiao Ping was busy planning the plate, raised his eyes and glanced at the star fruit, picked up a piece of mung bean cake for the noodles, Qiao Kangcheng twisted a glutinous rice dumpling, and then spoke: "I heard that you are proficient in herbal medicine, so you will help Zhao Langzhong dispense medicine at the front desk in the future." β
He looked the carambola's outfit up and down, nodded and said, "The town is not as good as the village, so let's wear it like this in the future." β
Come to the town to help, star fruit is dressed as a small girl. She glanced at the gray robe on her body and nodded, "Understood." β
"Then don't be lazy, put all these drugs in a categorical manner. Zhao Langzhong came back after a while, you go and say hello to him, and you will catch the medicine list he prescribes in the future. β
Star fruit hurriedly responded and rolled up her sleeves to work quickly.
While being busy, I still thought: Zhao Langzhong shouldn't be difficult to get along with, otherwise how could Uncle Qiao directly arrange her under Zhao Langzhong?
It was almost noon, Zhao Langzhong came back.
As soon as he entered the shop, he glanced at the star fruit, and his eyes were as sharp as a polished steel knife.
Carambola couldn't help but shrink her neck, and greeted the medicine box diligently: "Zhao Langzhong is tired, I'll organize the medicine box." β
Zhao Langzhong sideways dodged the hand of the star fruit to hold the medicine box, frowned and shouted, "Who are you?" Are you in the wrong place? β
didn't wait for the star fruit to answer, and turned around and asked Qiao Kangcheng: "We can say okay at the beginning, there is a female second child in this shop, and there is no me." The shopkeeper got a girl, does it mean to drive the old man away? β
"Brother Zhao, where are you talking about this?" Qiao Kangcheng hurriedly came over to explain: "This is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the insider, proficient in medical ......"
Zhao Langzhong snorted coldly, picked up the medicine box and left: "Ji Si Chen, the gang is often chaotic, this place is not ......"
Seeing that something bad was going to happen, Carambola hurriedly took out "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Relic Prescription" and handed it to Zhao Langzhong, and said humbly: "This is the intention of the younger generation, and please don't push it back to Mr. Zhao." β
"Dare to bribe ......"
Seeing the title of the book, Zhao Langzhong couldn't say the word bribe. He looked at the book, and then at the star fruit with a humble attitude, his face was blue and white, and he wanted to stomp his feet for a rare time.
Carambola knew that he couldn't get off the stage, so he hurriedly stiffened his nose and lied: "Lang Zhong misunderstood, I was a boy and a girl when I was a child, and I was recognized as a girl by many people." β
The corners of Zhao Langzhong's mouth twitched and twitched, but he stiffened his head and let out an 'oh'. He took the book in her hand and handed her the medicine box by the way.
The heart of the star fruit jumped to the throat and eyes, and finally fell back into place.
Qiao Kangcheng glanced at the book very meaningfully, looked at the star fruit carefully for a while, turned his back and whispered something to Qiao Ping.
Although Zhao Langzhong didn't rush the star fruit, he didn't allow her to come to the front hall: "I just came stunned, what kind of medical herbs do you know?" You go to the back to help boil the medicine, and cook and do chores by the way. β
The star fruit did not stiffen its mouth and went to the backyard obediently.
She's not silver for nothing, there's no reason why whoever sees her likes it? Since it is a new environment for newcomers, let's take our time, as long as we stay, there is always a way for everyone to accept ourselves.
So, star fruit worked in the backyard and did it happily.
She watched seven or eight medicine stoves by herself, and she could also find time to clean the yard neatly. Qiao Ping, who has always been strict and picky, searched carefully for a long time, but he couldn't find a place to scold.
He threw ten copper plates to the star fruit with a straight face: "What time is it, what are you still doing guarding the medicine jar?" Go grocery shopping and cooking! β
"Okay!" Carambola took the money, pretending not to see the disgust in Qiao Ping's eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle likes cocoons, you like tomatoes, I'll buy some for a while." β
Qiao Ping frowned and said coldly: "I don't like it for a long time." β
"Then what does Big Brother Qiao like to eat?" She looked up at him, her face still respectful and smiling, her voice still soft and sweet.
This kind of star fruit is really not annoying, Qiao Ping couldn't make it difficult to continue, and sighed: "If you stay away from my second brother, I will be happy with whatever I eat." β
Uncle Qiao really recognized the handwriting on "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Relic", and really doubted her relationship with Qiao An!
Looking back, Qiao An knew that Zhao Langzhong didn't work with women, how could Uncle Qiao not know? He knew that it was impossible for Zhao Langzhong to accept her, so he arranged her under Zhao Langzhong......
This means to drive me away, and I underestimate my star fruit's face!
Star fruit smiled at Qiao Ping and went out with a vegetable basket.
Despite Qiao Ping's refutation of her words, star fruit still bought tomatoes and callus white. Qiao Xiu said that his father likes garlic and white garlic the most, and her eldest brother likes tomato scrambled eggs the most.
When I was walking back, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's a good cabbage, buy three for one iron dollar, and only one iron dollar for three pieces." β
Ten iron coins for one copper plate, one copper plate can only buy three steamed buns.
Three watery cabbages are only sold for one iron dollar?
Thinking of the cabbage on his three acres of land, the star fruit sank hard.
She went over to look at the cabbage and found that the packages were tight and tender, so she asked the boss puzzled: "This dish looks fresh and tender, why do you sell it so cheaply?" β
The star fruit is pleasing and has a soft and waxy voice, and the boss can't help but complain to her: "The street is full of cabbage, where can I still sell it at a price?" It's been good these days, and it's cheaper to sell; After two days, a large number of cabbages will be listed, but I am afraid that no one will ask for the money. β
"How so?"
"Last year, cabbage was sold at a high price, and this year it has been planted. Look over there, trucks and truckloads of cabbage are pulled over, and they may not be able to sell ten copper plates. β
At a glance, more than a dozen carts of cabbage were pulled into the market. She went to inquire about the price, and they said politely: "One iron coin will give you four." β
When she turned around to leave, the boss hurriedly lowered the price: "Girl, can you give you five?" Hey, give you six, come back, give you six! β
Carambola's heart sank and sank!
She went back to the shop to cook, and after serving everyone to eat, she went to the Tianjia grain store to find her second uncle.
As soon as they met, they didn't bother to greet each other, so they asked straight to the point: "Have you found the seller who collects vegetables?" The cabbage at home has grown, and it can be sold in two days. β
The second uncle was in charge of the two grain and oil shops of the Tian family, and was busy settling accounts, when he heard this, he replied without raising his head: "I'm asking, there are many cabbages this year, and many sellers don't go to the countryside to collect them, and even the price is not high." β
"How many do they come out of?"
"Now the highest is five copper plates per acre, and I didn't promise him because I thought it was too little."
Four hundred vegetables per acre of land are only worth five cents?
Carambola sat slumped in her chair, her head hanging and unable to speak.
The second uncle comforted her while planning to make a plate: "Don't worry, the market here is not good, and it is normal if you can't make a bid." I'm going to the county tomorrow to deliver the goods, and by the way, I'll help you find a way to see if you can sell it at a good price. β
Carambola thanked the second uncle and went back dejectedly.
It was just after noon, and everyone was taking a lunch break. It took three times for the star fruit to wash its cold face before forcing itself to calm down, and in order not to let herself think about it any more, she hurriedly took the pu fan and went to the medicine stove.
I was bored when I heard Zhao Langzhong teaching the boy homework in the house: "Talk about the medicinal properties of asparagus." β
Carambola said silently: "Tianmendong, bitter and flat, mainly treats violence, rheumatism, paralysis, strong essence, kills three insects, and goes to ambush corpses." Wear for a long time and prolong your life. A Turre, born valley. β
As he spoke, he picked up the boiled asparagus from the dregs.
At the same time, the boy inside was also answering, and the answer was exactly the same as that of star fruit.
Lang Zhong asked again: "What about the rehmannia?" β
The star fruit picked out the rehmannia from the residue and replied in a low voice.
Zhao Langzhong nodded with satisfaction, then asked a question, and answered in detail.
After answering like this for more than a quarter of an hour, Lang Zhong also asked: "Heavenly rat." β
Star fruit didn't find the rat feces in the medicine residue, so he took a bamboo stick and painted it on the ground, and replied while painting: "The taste is bitter and cold, the main treatment is carbuncle and swelling, the skin is painful when washing, the blood in the abdomen, the accumulation of cold and heat, and the palpitations." One rat gu, one stone liver. Shenghepu Valley. β
She answered attentively, not noticing that the boy inside didn't answer, and her voice came into Zhao Langzhong's ears through the door and window.
"Capable of it? Then you answer cholera! β
Cholera? Did you jump from Shennong's Materia Medica to the Compendium of Materia Medica? Is it a cure for cholera, or is it an herb?
The previous answer was all herbs, so I guess I also asked about herbs!
"Cholera, there are damp heat, cold and dampness, and seven emotions and internal injuries, and six external feelings. Damp heat: (grass) cholera 'cholera tendon abdominal pain, boiled juice served. 'Shixiang Herb Technique' strengthens the stomach and spleen, removes dampness and heat, and stops cholera from vomiting'; Zi Shiso 'boiled and served, stops cholera swelling'......"
The more she spoke, the more she spoke, the more she spoke, the more attentive she became, and she fluently said all the medicinal materials related to the treatment of cholera.
Zhao Langzhong was holding a book in the room to compare, and found that she answered a word correctly, half a word was good.
He didn't believe in evil, so he changed the book "The Essence of Materia Medica" to pick up obscure exams. The star fruit replied outside, still talking eloquently, not bad at all.
Zhao Langzhong competed with her for a long time, but he didn't get a good deal, so he threw the book in his hand and rushed out. He rolled up his sleeves and stretched out in front of the star fruit, and shouted, "You give me a pulse to cure the old man's illness!" β
Carambola came back to her senses at this time, she looked at Zhao Langzhong with a weak heart, and her small mouth was flat and flat: She is not afraid of medicine and herbs, but where will she be able to cure diseases with her pulse?
Uh, looks like you're in trouble!
