Chapter 52: Rushing to the Market

On the second day, Cai Wei got up early in the morning.

I heard Uncle Zhang say that there was a market in Taoshan Town today, and Uncle Zhang was going to sell firewood, and Cai Wei took his ox cart to sell medicinal herbs by the way.

She ate a few aunts, drank a bowl of clear soup and wild vegetable soup, and went to the front yard with a basket full of dried herbs.

Before leaving, she first gave Lu Ying medicine, looked at the wound, gave him a bowl of snake meat soup, and carried the urine jar to him, and then went to talk to Widow Mu.

Widow Mu's ankle was much better, and she was able to walk around on the ground a long time ago, but she was too lazy to see Lu Ying, so she didn't even go to the side house, only ate the breakfast that Cai Wei made for her, and went to the kang to do needlework.

Seeing that Cai Wei was going out with Uncle Zhang, Widow Mu sighed for a long time, "If you learn needlework with me, you can still earn some money to support your family." Just those broken grass, how much can they be sold for? Are these still missing in the town's crude medicine shop? ”

Cai Wei bowed her head and was silent, and when Widow Mu saw this, she couldn't help but pat the edge of the kang and shouted, "You're too old, don't you listen to me?" I've been working hard for so many years, but I'm still tired of you? ”

At this time, Widow Mu looked a little nervous, which made Cai Wei worried.

She didn't know how to get along with this mother, she thought that this woman treated her very well at first, but after discovering that she ruined her appearance, Cai Wei began to resist her in her heart.

These days, this woman is crying and crying from time to time, and she has no choice.

"Mother, I don't just try my luck, I can't sell it, I can't lose it, why do you bother?"

Cai Wei rubbed her hands together, a little impatient.

She is older, is this woman going to keep her at home for the rest of her life?

Hearing this, Widow Mu stared at Cai Wei for a long time, and finally lowered her head, "That's it, you still have something to do with that 'doctor' after all." It's all fate, it's all fate. ”

Cai Wei was upset by her inexplicable words, stood for a while, and saw that Widow Mu bowed her head to do needlework and ignored her, so she had to go to the yard to put on her back basket and go to the front yard to find Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang's ox cart is very broken, and the old ox pulling the cart is also very old, and he has been with Uncle Zhang for more than ten years.

The old couple, who had no children and no daughters, now lived by chopping wood from the mountains, and although they were not hungry, they were also stammering.

Cai Wei is their savior, Uncle Zhang is very kind to her, along the way, telling her customs and jokes, which makes Cai Wei giggle all the way, but I don't think this long mountain road is difficult to walk.

It wasn't until three poles in the morning that they arrived at Momoyama Town.

At this time, the town is in a big gathering, people come and go, and it is very lively.

The roadside is full of stalls, selling all kinds of farm tools, selling all kinds of snacks, and women from neighboring villages carrying baskets to sell eggs, in short, daily necessities can be bought in this market.

Cai Wei was dazzled and dizzy.

Along the way, I heard Uncle Zhang say that this Taoshan Town is a land and water wharf, and the pawn traders from the south to the north have passed through here, so it makes this Taoshan Town more lively.

Uncle Zhang drove the ox cart to the place where the firewood was sold, so Cai Wei followed the path pointed out by Uncle Zhang and went inside.

There is only one crude medicine shop in Taoshan Town, which is located at the west end of the town.

Cai Wei carried the basket from the east end all the way through the thorns and thorns, through the heavy human walls, squeezed into sweat profusely, panting, and arrived at the east end.

She looked up and looked at them one by one, the shops on both sides were lined up, and after looking at it for a long time, she saw a large plaque with three big characters on it, "Rejuvenation Hall".

This is the only crude medicine shop in Momoyama Town.

Cai Wei lifted the falling back basket and stepped in.

The place of the Rejuvenation Hall is very large, and there are more than a dozen guys busy in it, crowded with patients who have come from various villages to buy medicine, and the business is very prosperous.

There is a bookcase on the east side of the door, and an old man sits behind him, wearing a gray robe, with pale hair tied in a bun, tied with a bamboo hairpin, and is bowing his head and lowering his eyebrows to check the pulse of a middle-aged man.

"Well, your pulse is vain, and your kidneys are at a loss, so you have to make up for it quickly." As soon as the old man spoke, Cai Wei knew who this person was.

Very familiar, it is the "Liu Yiti" who treated Tie Niu last time, and a plaster was sold for ten taels of silver, and all the wedding jewelry of Tie Niu Niang Li was taken away.

It turns out that this guy is the sitting doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall?

I don't know how he fooled people.

Cai Wei stood still and listened quietly to him talking to the middle-aged man, "You must have many wives and concubines in your family, look at your eyes are swollen, your tongue is red and thick, and your kidneys are bad." ”

The middle-aged man looked respectful, and bowed his hand again and again, "Please ask the divine doctor to save me!" ”

"Well, you wait, I'll prescribe you a big supplement, keep it for you!"

Liu began to write a prescription as soon as he posted a big bag, and after a while, he wrote a sheet, and handed it to the middle-aged man with ink, and the middle-aged man thanked him for going to the counter to find a guy to get medicine.

Cai Wei saw it clearly, and that prescription cost a man fifty taels of silver.

Looking at the man like that, he is very generous, and he obviously doesn't care.

However, she was very puzzled, since Liu Yitian said that the man's eyes were swollen and his tongue was red and thick, why did he have to make up for it?

This is clearly a phenomenon of vigorous internal fire, and it is necessary to vent the fire.

She shook her head, knowing that she couldn't meddle with things, and stood and watched for a while, then went to the counter, waiting to ask if she would accept the herbs.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally her turn, and a guy in front of the counter glanced at her condescendingly, and asked in a loud voice, "What kind of medicine to catch, prescription?" ”

Cai Wei heard this and knew that this guy looked down on her a little, but in order to sell the medicinal materials in the back basket, she still lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm not here to grab medicine, I'm here to buy medicine." ”

"Buying medicine?" The fellow squinted his eyes and looked into the basket behind her, "What's the medicine?" ”

Cai Wei said busily, "There are purslane, Huoxiang, purple lily, Lala grass, ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the guy, "Go, go, what are all things that can't be put on the table?" We only accept ginseng and He Shou Wu here, and we don't accept the next three indiscriminate things. ”

Hearing this, Cai Wei smiled at the guy, "This little brother, have you studied medicine?" Did you know that these are all herbs? ”

"Hey, I said you ugly girl, you have nothing to do to make trouble here, don't you?" The guy stared at Cai Wei with raised eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he wanted to eat people.

Cai Wei took a step back unhurriedly, away from him, not because she was afraid of him, but because his spittle sprayed all over her face.

"Well, since you have studied medicine, let me ask you, can ginseng and He Shou Wu cure all diseases? Why can't common medicines such as purslane and purple flower diding be used? ”

Cai Wei's words made the guy speechless, he blushed with suffocation, but he stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat, "What do you know about this ugly girl?" Go and go, don't get in the way here. ”

He picked up the feather duster and went to knock Caiwei's hand, and the other guys followed suit, and Caiwei walked away.
