Hearing this man say this, the onlookers laughed when they heard it.

Liu Meibao also smiled, not in a hurry or impatient, reached out and picked up the piece he had just broken, and put it in front of him to take a look.

"Cross-sectional reddish-brown .." She said with a smile to the man, and while picking up Wang Liuqi's piece of ejiao, she also looked at it, "This section is brown."

The man scoffed.

"The same piece of angelica is cut into slices and the thickness is different." He smiled and looked at Liu Meibao, "Little girl, is there a medicine store at home?" How long have you been studying? ”

Liu Meibao shook her head and smiled.

"No, I learned it myself." She said, then turned around and pointed the two pieces of ejiao in her hand to the sunlight outside.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she carefully looked at the two pieces of ejiao in her hand, everyone was puzzled, and they all stared, but Wu Lao Pang on the side was pale.

"It's deer glue." Liu Meibao shook the piece of ejiao that belonged to them at the man, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"What are you talking nonsense?" The man raised his eyebrows and said, unconsciously lowering his voice, "What you say is what it is." ”

Liu Meibao is not in a hurry.

"It's okay, I'll convince you eventually." She smiled, put the two pieces separately, and whispered to Zhou Liangyu, who had been standing aside vigilantly and watching, "Brother, help me make a fire." ”

Zhou Liangyu nodded and immediately lit up the small furnace.

Liu Meibao bent down and put the crucible on it.

"This is the real Ejiao that Wang Liuye bought from Hezhong Mansion." She picked up a piece of debris and routinely showed it to the crowd.

"Don't take a bite of real glue, why do you say ours is fake." The man said indignantly.

"It can't be fake, it can't be fake. It can't be the same. Liu Meibao raised her head and smiled at him, let go of her hand, put this piece of ejiao into the crucible, and then asked Zhou Liangyu to light another furnace fire and put a crucible.

"This is your ejiao." She said, picking up a piece of shard and throwing it into the cauldron.

The people outside began to crowd forward, trying to see clearly, this was the first time they had seen this kind of thing, and they were very curious, and the news spread quickly. More and more people are flocking here.

"Big brother.." The expressions of the several men who had been sitting there without moving were inadvertently a little strange, and one of them couldn't help but whisper to Wu Laopang.

Wu Lao Pang raised his hand and signaled the man to shut up, the man understood and stopped, and several people put away their previous casual looks. His eyes fell on Liu Meibao.

As the crucible heats up, there is a cracking sound in one of the crucibles, followed by white smoke. A strong scent spreads through the room.

"It smells so good." Everyone said one after another, sniffing vigorously.

Just as he was sniffing hard, a stench suddenly dissipated, and everyone hurriedly covered their noses again.

"What is this?" Everyone asked.

The man who had been standing by and watching carefully tensed his mouth. couldn't help but look back at Wu Laopang, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Wu Lao Pang did not speak. Just shook her head at him.

The man withdrew.

Soon the two pieces of ejiao were burned, and Liu Meibao didn't show it to everyone, so she only let the little guy come to Na Wu Lao Pang and the others.

"Let's take a look." She said.

Wang Liuqi couldn't help but run over, but when Liu Meibao asked the little guy to break the crucible, he seemed to inadvertently change his hand, and he forgot which was his real Ejiao and which was Wu Laopang's Ejiao.

"How?" He looked over, but before he could see anything, he saw that Wu Lao Pang had already stood up. Reaching out and taking one of the crucibles, several people passed it on, but it was never handed over again.

"Thank you for the advice." Wu Lao said with a chubby hand.

Wang Liuqi was stunned. I didn't dare to believe it for a while.

"Don't dare." Liu Meibao said, with no smile on her face. She was about to say something, but when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it back.

"The girl is right, it's not easy to eat with your skills." Wu Lao Pang said slowly with a smile.

Liu Meibao's eyes drooped slightly.

"Yes, it's not easy, but I'm willing to gamble and lose." She said lightly.

Wu Laopang's expression softened, his smile spread, he slapped his face twice, and put his hand on Wang Liuqi's shoulder.

"Sixth Master Wang, let's talk in the room." He said enthusiastically.

Wang Liuqi had already come back to his senses, and at first glance he was surprised that all kinds of emotions changed on his face, and he didn't react to being embraced by these people.

"What the hell happened in the end?"

"Whose true is who's false?"

"What is this for?"

The spectators didn't react, they asked one after another, and some people didn't understand what they were doing from beginning to end, so they all crowded over to ask Liu Meibao.

Liu Meibao only introduced that she was the true and false of the medicine, as for how to distinguish it, she didn't say it anymore, and a group of people talked about it indiscriminately, because this is a professional practice, not more attractive than storytelling and singing, everyone didn't understand, so they lost interest, and they dispersed after a while, and when Wang Liuqi came out, Liu Meibao and Zhou Liangyu were left in the hall sitting and talking in a low voice.

The old woman with the kettle walked around beside them, almost with a heart, but she never got a response, and her face was unhappy.

Looking at the unconcealable smile on Wang Liuqi's face and the burden in his arms, he knew that the matter was successfully resolved, and Liu Meibao and Zhou Liangyu both stood up.

Wang Liuqi shouted to the little guy to pack up his things, and thanked Liu Meibao again.

"Sixth Master Wang is polite, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others." Liu Meibao said politely.

"It's just.." Wang Liuqi's expression froze slightly, looked at Liu Meibao and said in a low voice, "Such profiteers should be sent to the government for investigation, why should the girl show mercy to their subordinates..."

Wang Liuqi has already understood, Liu Meibao deliberately confused the real and fake crucibles, except for these fake drug owners, no one saw the difference between these two kinds of ejiao in the end.

This is obviously to show his own attitude, only arguing the truth and falsehood, regardless of other matters.

"It was Wang Liuye who invited me, and I was not invited by the government, so naturally listen to your opinion from the sixth master, if you say report to the official, I will testify, the love is in our hands, it is not up to us to decide whether to stay or not." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Wang Liuqi laughed. He shook his head and sighed.

"Everyone buys and sells people, you can't kill them all, and it's good to keep people in the future, since they are willing to admit their mistakes and lose money, they can be regarded as happy, the government or something, let's use the rules of the trader to solve it." He said, smiling helplessly wryly, "Let the girl smile." It's not easy for us to be a businessman, we can't talk about those moral responsibilities, sometimes we are obviously wronged but we have to be like a boneless worm....this is something that can't be helped, I'm really ashamed in my heart..."

In fact, what's the use of sending officials in this world, the government will take some silver and let people go. Rather than this, it is better for him to collect the money for the government and make personal favors, so that everyone will not tear their faces. For those who do business, everything must leave a back road, so that the road can be wider and wider.

Liu Meibao just smiled when she heard this.

Just follow his words and say a few hard words.

Wang Liuqi had this thought in his heart, Liu Meibao didn't know and didn't care. From the beginning, she knew that Wang Liuqi had no intention of sending these people to the official, otherwise she would have sued the government directly and then asked her to testify in court. Since the master's family doesn't mean this, why should she be troubled, hasn't she tasted the consequences of many things?

After every sleepless day in the middle of the night, she thought back to the modern life that was not as real as a dream, and thought about everything that happened to her, especially those things after work, thinking of her dismissal, and thinking of the threatening phone calls and text messages she had received. The car accident that killed him may have been more than just an accident.

Of course, it's not that she's scared and has no conscience. Watching the rampant use of counterfeit medicines, but eating a trench grows wise. Only by protecting yourself can you better fight the enemy.

After earning this money, the first thing Liu Meibao did was to buy three quilts in the tile market, and the price of one quilt was 300 Wen, which was no big deal for Liu Meibao, who earned 20 taels of silver at once.

The weather is getting colder and colder, firewood is only enough to cook and boil water, don't even think about charcoal heating, the weather is good during the day, sitting in the yard and basking in the sun is good to say, at night, the house is cold, these days, Liu Meibao is wearing a jacket to sleep, uncomfortable and not to say, just like this, in the middle of the night to be frozen and wake up several times.

When Zhou Liangyu brought the quilt back, touching the soft quilt, Liu Meibao couldn't wait to roll on it.

"My sister is afraid of the cold, you can use it." Zhou Liangyu felt very sad when she saw her excited, so he also gave her his bed, "I will cover two beds of kudzu quilts, I am angry, and I am not afraid of the cold." ”

Where will Liu Meibao allow.

"Although this kudzu hemp is filled with straw, it has an extra layer under it." She said, busily laying out the mattress and sitting on it with a bit of pride, "This is more comfortable." ”

Zhou Liangyu was amused by her.

"Let's go, go make my aunt's bed, and surprise her when she comes back." Liu Meibao picked up the other bed and said.

Zhou Liangyu nodded, and the two went together, Song Sanniang didn't say anything when she came back, after eating, she asked Zhou Liangyu to chop wood to boil a large pot of water, and the three of them took a hot bath happily.

Counting that this is the first time to take a bath since the beginning of winter, Liu Meibao soaked in the wooden barrel, excited and eager to pounce violently, Song Sanniang suddenly came in, startling her.

She was the first to wash it, thinking that this was urging herself, Liu Meibao hurriedly scrubbed it.

"I'll wash it now." She said on the other hand, she was not flustered and shy when Song Sanniang came in, this wooden barrel was high, and only her head was exposed when she sat in it, which was really nothing to a large group of people who took a bath in the public bathroom in modern times and saw Shen Liumei frankly.

Song Sanniang glanced at her, put aside a set of clothes in her hand, and came over with a handkerchief.

"I'll wash your hair." She said, taking a wooden basin and scooping hot water, pulling over the stool and placing it next to the barrel.

Liu Meibao is worried, the hair of this ancient person is very long, and it is very troublesome to wash, although it has been almost a year since she passed it, she is still not used to it, it is estimated that every time she washes her hair, she is embarrassed by Song Sanniang's eyes.

"Thank you, auntie." Liu Meibao smiled, leaned on the wooden barrel, and let Song Sanniang untie her hair and slowly wash it.

The hot water was steaming, the stove was still burning, and the small kitchen was very warm.

After that quarrel, the relationship between the two eased a lot, but because they were not talkative people, they were silent during this period, except for the occasional simple conversation such as whether the water is still hot or not, and whether you want to add water.

Liu Meibao leaned on the wooden barrel, squinting and soaking in the bath, Song Sanniang stood beside her, carefully wiping the water on her hair with a towel, her movements were gentle, and her big hands occasionally gently rubbed Liu Meibao's scalp, Liu Meibao unconsciously thought of letting her sit on the stool and wash her hair when her mother was still there.

At that time, she had long hair and beautiful little braids, but when her mother was gone, her father would not wear braids, so she reamed her hair, and until she died, she never had long hair again.

Her nose suddenly sore, and she covered her face with a wet towel to block her emotions.

"It's a new set of underwear." Song Sanniang didn't notice her abnormality, and after doing all this, she stood up straight and said something, and went out.

After soaking for half an hour, the water gradually cooled, Liu Meibao got up, wore Song Sanniang's newly made underwear, added a handful of firewood to the stove, and invited Song Sanniang to wash it.

"What are you still standing for?" Song Sanniang came in and was about to undress, and when she saw that Liu Meibao was still standing aside, she frowned and asked.

"I'll help you wash your hair." Liu Meibao said with a grin, while wrapping her hair in a hand towel.

"How can I be as clumsy as you." Song Sanniang waved her hand, "Go out quickly, dry your hair and go to bed early." ”

Liu Meibao smiled and left.

Back in the house, light the oil lamp to read, wait for the hair to dry half-dry, then take off the jacket, into the quilt, the quilt has been exposed to the sun, with the smell of the warm sun, the straw quilt under her still creaks, but Liu Meibao's feeling is completely different, she let out a long sigh of comfort, no longer have to shrink up for warmth, and rest assured that her hands and feet are spread out without scruples and put a big word.

This is called life, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.

I slept very soundly this night, and when I woke up, it was already bright, and the quilt was still warm, Liu Meibao couldn't help but turn inside a few times, looking for a comfortable position and preparing to relive the feeling of loving the bed in winter.

"Here we are." Liu Meibao had to get up hurriedly, quickly put on her clothes, and came out with her hair in hand.

Zhou Liangyu had already eaten and went out to collect firewood and dig herbs as usual, Song Sanniang also ate, and when she came out and said that the rice was in the pot, she turned around and went into the house to weave cloth.

She was about to finish reading this medical book, thinking about borrowing some more or buying some books such as medicinal scriptures and materia medica to read, and at the same time thinking that when Wang Liuqi spread his fame, there would be more work to be done, and she couldn't help but feel a little urgent, but she was afraid that she would not be able to identify it when the time came, so she closed her eyes and recalled the knowledge in her head in detail, and was hesitating whether to write it down on paper, when she heard someone calling the door outside.

Before she could ask, Song Sanniang walked out of the house a few steps.

"Who?" She asked.

"May I ask if it's Miss Liu's house who can decoct medicine?" A woman asked. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
