Gu Bainiang finished speaking quickly, and couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the "mountain ginseng", "zombie silkworm" and "magnolia" scattered on the car.

She originally thought it was very strange, but it turned out that these were all displayed in the lobby of Shunhetang, the most common fake medicine in the medicine market, and she had looked at it curiously.

It's such a coincidence, she may not be able to distinguish the grade of the real ginseng zombie silkworm or the like, but she can see the fake one at a glance, and of course there are also those who can't recognize it....

"Uncle, you're a scorpion fake? But this is a scorpion—" She picked up a whole scorpion and looked left and right, such a big .....

If it weren't for her preconceived notions, she really wouldn't take this as a fake, while thinking, she took out her whole scorpion comparison, looked at it, and simply bit it down.

"Ahh Phew...."She spat a few mouthfuls on the sideways of her head, "It's all sand... No wonder it's enough! But how can this be used in medicine, where did you catch the scorpion, sir, and eat mud and sand."

"I'm fed!" The old man came back to his senses and glared at her, his wrinkled face flushed, and he seemed to be very excited.

Traditional Chinese medicine is all wild, all over the wild, and no one really raises it, Gu Ba Niang sighed.

"How do you get it to eat?" She looked at the scorpion curiously and asked.

"Little girl, this book is for you," the old man ignored her words at all, grabbed the book and threw it to Gu Bainiang, and looked at the little girl in front of him thoughtfully.

Gu Bainiang carefully took the book, as if it had been opened with a treasure, the yellowed paper, the untidy handwriting, and her hands trembled a little excitedly.

The car flickered, and the old man jumped out of the car.

"Uncle, have you arrived?" Gu Bainiang closed the book, looked at him and asked.

At this time, the car had already arrived in Xianren County and was about to enter the city.

The old man smiled, waved his hand, and walked away quickly without saying a word, pulling the sack, blending into the crowd and disappearing.

This old man... Gu Bainiang looked at the direction he left, and then looked at the book in his hand, what is the origin of this old man? Maybe it's not simple.

"Big sister?" The young man asked her.

"Let's go." Gu Banniang glanced at the direction where the old man had gone again, and put the book away.

A layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness, it seems that in the blink of an eye, people change into jackets.

Gu Bainiang stood in the kitchen, slowly drinking hot soup and tea, while watching Cao Shi take an old robe and compare it on Gu Hai's body, and open her hands for her mother to measure Gu Hai, her eyes never left the book in her hand.

It's the end of September, and the family still lives in this small courtyard, although the food is still rough and the clothes are still shabby.

At least it was the way to avoid the arrangement of fate....

At this time in that life, their family was already living in Jiankang, and at this time, the mother had been brought to the house by a prodigal son with other intentions to make a pulp wash....

At this time, my brother is no longer studying, let alone preparing for exams...

At this time, he was called around like a fool by the sisters of the clan......

And now, that hasn't happened, and it will never happen again.

Gu Bainiang closed her eyes.

I don't know what Gu Hai said, Cao Shi hit him on the head, and the laughter of mother and son sounded in the courtyard.

Gu Banniang closed her eyes, she only felt warm in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, maybe such a day would be very good, there would be no more people and things, she had a mother, a brother and a livelihood guarantee, so it was actually enough.

"Eighteen Niang, you are busy, let me clean up." Cao Shi finally measured it, let Gu Hai go to the house to read, turned his head and saw Gu Bainiang standing in the kitchen in a daze, and smiled.

"I'll do it. Mother, don't get your hands dirty. Gu Banniang said, while neatly putting the dishes and chopsticks into the water, her hand touched the cold water, subconsciously retracted, and took a breath of cool air.

"What's wrong?" Cao, who had already approached the kitchen, asked busily, grabbing her hand.

"It's okay..."Gu Banniang smiled, wanting to withdraw her hand.

The slender fingers were slightly red and swollen, with a little whitish blister.

Cao's tears suddenly swirled in his eyes, these days, his daughter is working harder than before, reading books at night and seeing in the middle of the night, staying in the medicine store during the day and barely even taking care of eating.

“… I accidentally burned it, it's okay, mother," Gu Eighteen Niang withdrew her hand, smiled, and was busy changing the topic, with a little joy on her face, "Mother, do you know?" I know there are other ways to make Atractylodes..."

"yes, how to make it?" Cao Shi knew that her daughter didn't want to worry about herself, so she obediently followed her words, and reached out to help her brush her hair that was hanging down.

"In the books I used to read, there were net, cut, boiled, earthy, and crushed, which is already a lot, but Liu Gong's book said that those who are afraid of atractylodes are afraid of its dryness, and those who are afraid of it are fried with honey water, and those who are afraid of its stagnation are fried with ginger juice, I have tried to do it, and there is a person to grab the medicine, and I also said to him, he bought a ginger juice fried atractylodes, and came to tell me yesterday, the effect is very good, and said that he was going to tell other people, let them all come to me to catch the medicine...."Gu Bainiang originally wanted to change the topic, but she was really happy when she said it, What could be more joyful than being recognized.

"Eighteen Niang is really capable." Cao looked at his daughter lovingly and smiled.

"Mother, you don't know, I didn't understand it before, I didn't think this medicinal material was anything, but now that I have learned it, I think it is very knowledgeable....." Gu Banniang's eyebrows were flying, and her face was full of joy.

Cao Shi looked at her and only nodded and smiled lovingly.

“.. I will definitely study well and be a good pharmacist...."Gu Bainiang said seriously.

A trace of hesitation flashed on Cao's face, and she sighed as she looked at her daughter's radiant spirit.

“… Eighteen mothers... These days have tormented you... Wait until your brother has a reputation...," she said softly.

Gu Bainiang looked at Cao Shi and smiled, "Mother, don't you want me to be a pharmacist?" ”

Her daughter is very quick now, and in front of her, Cao feels that she can hardly hide any thoughts.

"Eighteen Niang, my mother didn't look down on you, but you have to know that the world is true, girls are always looked down upon as craftsmen..."Cao Shi sighed and said.

Gu Bainiang shook her head, "I don't care, I don't care what others think of me, whether my life is good or not, I know it's fine, I don't need to show it to others." ”

Cao Shi wanted to speak and stopped, "Eighteen Niang, my mother knows that you have to be strong... It's just that the daughter's family is going to get married eventually, and all we women want in this life is to marry a good man......"

"It's not..."Gu Bainiang's expression suddenly fell silent, and she slowly shook her head.

"What not?" Cao Shi was stunned, will he not die or will he be married?

No, it's not that marrying a good family will be complete in this life..... at least not for her, she used to think so, and once thought that marrying into the Shen family was the greatest happiness in her life....

Gu Bainiang closed her eyes and blocked her tears, in this life, her happiness can no longer rely on others' charity, she can only be in her own hands, and others are unreliable.

Cao Shi looked at his daughter's demeanor changed in an instant, and seemed to be very tired, so he couldn't help but hurriedly accept the topic, and at the same time blamed himself a little, the days were already so difficult, and it was all up to his daughter to get through the difficulties, but he said such a thing, although he didn't mean that, but no matter how he heard it, he disliked his daughter as a craftsman.

"Eighteen mothers, mothers..."Cao Shi held her daughter's hand, full of guilt and determination, "How is the business of the medicine store recently?" ”

"It's ok, it's much better than before." Gu Bainiang was a little puzzled by Cao's sudden change of topic, and looked at her and said.

"It's okay for my mother to be at home, I'll help you in the past..."Cao smiled.

"Mother.." Gu Bainiang felt hot in her heart, she reached out and shook Cao's arm, "No..."

"Why, I think my mother is stupid and can't do it?" Cao Shi raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile, "Don't forget, my mother has made boiled whole scorpions!" ”

Gu Bainiang smiled, "Mother, that's not boiled, it's scalded...."

"Really? It's all water, it's not the same? Cao Shi said, while quickly putting the sewing basket away, copying the clothes, and going out with Gu Bainiang.

"Of course it's different, it's a big difference in one word...."Gu Banniang smiled, "Come on, let my daughter teach you well....."

"Then there's Master Laogu..."

The chuckle of mother and daughter spilled through the alley, attracting the birds on the wall.
