Chapter 49: Catch the medicine for the husband
Hua Muyue came to Jishitang and found that her prescription was lost, but fortunately, she remembered that there were only a few medicines missing, and some of them were on the mountain, so she could pick them.
"Flower girl, why didn't you bring medicinal herbs today?" The gray-bearded old man Wu looked at Hua Muyue, who was empty-handed, and asked.
"Wu Lao, I'm not here to sell medicine today, I'm here to buy medicine."
"Oh, but to get medicine for your husband?" Old man Wu looked clear.
Hua Muyue felt weird when she heard the word husband, husband is husband, this pot can't be taken off for a while.
"That's right, my husband has been unwell recently, I'll grab some medicine for him to condition his body."
"Is there a prescription for that?"
"The prescription was lost, and I only grabbed a few flavors of medicine, I said you can catch it for me."
"Oh, there's no prescription, my old man doesn't dare to grab the medicine." Old man Wu refused very principledly.
"Old Wu, I won't tell you anything, I will be a doctor, of course I will not harm my husband. You can grab the medicine with confidence. Hua Muyue patiently explained.
"Oh?" Old man Wu was surprised in his heart, this little doll knows how to heal? But he is not a nosy person, after all, he once practiced medicine in the state capital, and he has never seen any private things in the mansion, so he has long developed an attitude of asking less and talking less.
"Okay, the old man also believes in you, I don't know what medicinal herbs you want?" Old man Wu stroked his beard and asked.
"Elder Wu, Ziju, do you have one?" Hua Muyue's eyes were full of expectation.
"You want Ziju?" The voice was surprised, and now Old Man Wu was completely uncalm.
The tonic used by the dignitaries and nobles in the capital contains this flavor of medicinal materials, and the general doctors know little, although it is not as expensive as Ganoderma lucidum ginseng, but the price is not low, and the purple syncope medicine is mild, and the effect of long-term use is remarkable. It seems that this girl has some adventures and has studied under the masters.
"Yes, but not much, to be honest, the grade is not high, the best purple convulsions are all controlled by Wu's medicinal herb shop in Lingjiang Mansion, I think the entire Qishan County is only sold in Wu's medicinal herb shop." After speaking, Old Man Wu exuded a sense of indignation, as if he had something to do with this Wu medicinal herb shop.
Hua Muyue was also very unhappy in her heart, Wu's medicinal herb shop monopolized medicinal materials for profit, and it was inconvenient for patients who needed to buy medicine, and even the price was huge, many people could not afford to buy medicine, but such a profiteer must also have a big backer.
"Elder Wu, I'm very grateful to you for having me, and I don't ask for the best. I would like to ask how much silver is a course of medicine? ”
"Don't rush the silver first, I'll go see if it's enough." After speaking, Old Man Wu went to the medicine cabinet behind him to check.
In the end, Hua Muyue grabbed Zi Ju and a few other medicinal herbs, and only five hundred Wen of silver was left, and she still owed Old Man Wu one or two pieces of silver. Hua Muyue touched the deflated money bag and sighed in her heart: It's really a day before liberation. Now it's time to try to earn more money.
"Old Wu, did you use the ginger I gave you last time? Is it still symptomatic? Hua Muyue asked before leaving.
"Oh, girl, don't you say I almost forgot, it works, can you send some more next time, I'll pay for it, old man." Old man Wu looked impatient, obviously having discovered its effect.
"Well said." Hua Muyue smiled and didn't agree immediately.
Next, Old Man Wu asked some questions about the efficacy and usage of ginger, and Hua Muyue patiently answered them one by one. Hua Muyue still has a good impression of Old Man Wu and Honeysuckle, Old Man Wu has the ethics of being a doctor, and Honeysuckle is clever and talented in medicine.
"Girl, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree?" Old man Wu was a little hesitant, after all, studying medicine is a master and an apprentice, and his request seems to be suspected of stealing a teacher.
"Elder Wu, it's okay for you to say it."
Seeing that Hua Muyue was not reluctant, Old Man Wu said, "Honeysuckle has gone to deliver medicine." Next time you come, I would like to ask you to teach you about the properties, efficacy and usage of honeysuckle and ginger. The old man was not good at learning, and he was afraid of misleading him. ”
Hua Muyue had a better impression of Old Man Wu, and she didn't put on the posture of an elder, so she agreed to his request, "Okay, no problem, I think Honeysuckle has an excellent talent, you always have a good apprentice and a good grandson." ”
"You've won a prize."
After hearing this, Old Man Wu looked proud, and his face was full of wrinkles with a smile.
