Chapter III: Practicing Medicine
While thinking about it, Zhen Siniang unconsciously took Brother Wu Wen into the house.
"Where's Miss?" The sweaty magpie was about to go out, and when he saw them returning, he hurried up to meet them, "The slave is about to look for you." ”
"How did you come back so quickly today?" Seeing the magpie, Zhen Shi Niang's eyes lit up, "How much Ejiao has been sold, and the account has been recovered?" ”
The magpie looked happy, "It's all sold out, and the shopkeeper Li said that it wasn't enough to sell, so he asked the young lady if he could boil more?" "Took out a piece of broken silver and a few strings of copper coins and handed it over," Miss's Ejiao sold a total of 226 yuan of silver, and the slave and maid grabbed three pairs of decoction for you, and collected 5 donkey skins, 10 catties of rice wine, 10 catties of rock sugar, and 5 catties of sesame oil...... "Count the same as moving your fingers, "It cost a total of 16 taels and 8 yuan, and there are still 328 left, all here......"
The decoction is eaten by Zhen Shi Niang, and the donkey skin rice wine is used to boil Ejiao.
Since being sent here, Zhen Shi Niang has not received a penny of silver from the Shen family, two years ago, she pawned the last dowry, life began to be stretched, not to mention that she has been taking medicine for many years, just saying that these five or six people have a problem to eat, seeing that the two acres of lotus pond in the Shen family's old house are not enough to make a living, Zhen Shi Niang remembered the industry in her previous life, fortunately, because of her own needs, she occasionally boiled some Ejiao for her own use, so she boiled a pot of Ejiao and took it to the town to try selling.
It is conceivable that she is a woman's family, and her name is unknown, who believes that she will boil Ejiao?
At first, the major pharmacies refused to sell it for her, but one day, she was begging the big shopkeeper Li Qi to help her sell ejiao in Ruixiang Pharmacy, when she met Feng Xi, a doctor who mistakenly diagnosed a case of typhoid fever as a fever syndrome and was approached by a patient.
At that time, Feng Xi diagnosed the patient's red eyes, dry mouth, and pulse count, all of which were typical manifestations of heat syndrome, and he didn't think much about it before he prescribed Chengqi Soup, who knew that the patient's condition suddenly worsened after taking the medicine, and he was carried to the door by his family members when he was dying.
Although the number of pulses is a hot syndrome, the late pulse is a cold syndrome, but this is not absolute, occasionally there are pulse diseases on the contrary, the patient is a typical yin sheng isolated from the yang, in layman's terms, the yin in his body is too strong, the weak yang qi is squeezed to the outside, it looks like the face is red, dry mouth, a hot image, but in fact it is the evidence of the great cold, she immediately decisively used dried ginger aconite and other hot medicine.
Sure enough, the patient was sweating profusely, and he was able to work well in a few days.
relieved the siege of Ruixiang Pharmacy, and the shopkeeper Li Qi was grateful, so he agreed to let her put Ejiao in Xiangrui Pharmacy, and he helped sell it to try.
At the beginning, it took a few months to boil a pot of ejiao, but fortunately, Li Qi also believed in her medical skills, and occasionally encountered Feng Xi with something or an incurable illness that could not be solved, he would ask her to help and earn some silver to make a living.
Who knows, after coming and going, she is also famous, and now a pot of Ejiao is sold out in less than half a month, just like this pot, she remembers that it seems that it was only sent for five or six days, because she wants to harvest lotus roots, she needs to hire short-term workers with silver, she asked the magpie to go to Xiangrui Pharmacy to find Li Qi to see if she can give some silver back first.
I don't want to, it's all sold out!
“…… It seems that all the people in Wutong Town have agreed with my Ejiao. After taking the silver, Zhen Siniang was in a very good mood.
Kick this first kick away, and one day, she will have her own little medicine hall.
"It's not just that I agree, I heard Brother Li say that Miss's batch of Ejiao was robbed." The magpie grinned, "Brother Li still said that if the slave doesn't go, he will come to see you in person, and I want to discuss with you if I can boil more ejiao?" ”
Zhen Siniang sighed, "...... Who doesn't want to earn money if they have silver, but how can I keep an eye on my body? "She can't bear it anymore after two pots a month, how can she be greedy.
The magpie's expression darkened instantly.
She didn't expect that in the future, her young lady's body would be ruined like this.
“…… I've saved seventeen, two, eight. Zhen Shi Niang took out a small jar from the grinding whitish four-drawer cabinet, poured out the silver horns inside and counted them, and put them back together with the magpie he had just brought back, "The lotus root is growing well this year, how can you collect three or four thousand catties...... Finally able to have a good year! She looked at the magpie with a smile, "When the lotus root is sold, I will add a new set of clothes to each of you this year." ”
Come to think of it, they haven't worn new clothes for two or three years.
The magpie's heart is sour, since she was a child, how could her young lady suffer like this? In the past, even she, a personal big girl, didn't take this seventeen taels of silver in her eyes, but now she has to calculate every penny!
"Great, great!" I didn't notice that the magpie's expression was wrong, and when she heard that there were new clothes to wear, Qiu Ju jumped up first, "The slave maid wants the rose red that Erya wears!" ”
Erya is the second daughter of Yu Liang's family in the alley before, and she has been wearing a new rose red cross-collared cotton shirt these days, which was made by her eldest sister when she got married, Qiu Ju looked at it and drooled.
"Okay, good ......" Zhen Shi Niang smiled slightly, "When the time comes, let you pick it yourself." ”
"Let's just say that Miss is the best person in the world!" Qiu Ju's eyes were a little hot, she remembered something, and suddenly turned her head, "By the way, Aunt Magpie, what's going on in the town?" ”
In the morning, she could hear the noise of gongs and drums outside, not to take care of Jian Wu Jianwen, she had already gone out to see the excitement.
"Oh......" The magpie sighed, his eyes fell on the leaky pot, and exclaimed, "God, it's noon when you come and talk." He raised his head and instructed Qiu Ju, "You go and soak those donkey skins first, and I'll clean up and make lunch." ”
"Hey......" I had long forgotten the question just now, Qiu Ju answered and walked out happily.
The magpie looked at Zhen Shi Niang again, "The slave maid bought half a catty of pork, let's make steamed pork at noon today, Miss made it really delicious last time, Brother Wen and Brother Wu didn't eat enough." ”
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhen Siniang sat down on the chair and looked at the magpie lightly.
