There are a lot more people on the road than Xie County, and there are a lot more people wearing clothes and warm hats and riding horses and cars, of course, most people are still poor and poor, and their expressions are mostly wooden, it seems that big towns or small towns, and life is not easy now.

The guards of the city gate are dressed up in general with the gatekeepers of Xie County, it seems that this is a unified military uniform, but this military uniform is really not mighty, tattered and gray, if it is not for the spear in his hand, it is believed that they are beggars.

The soldiers laughed while vigilantly watching the passers-by, Liu Meibao remembered that the first time he entered the county seat, it was because he was too curious to attract the attention of the soldiers, so he hurriedly put down the curtain and sat down, but was still stopped, two soldiers lazily came over to interrogate, Song Langzhong hurriedly introduced himself as a doctor, came here to buy medicinal materials, and stuffed a few dollars, and was released.

The streets and alleys of Fucheng in Hezhong are dense, although it is cold and freezing, the streets are crowded with people, shops are everywhere, it is much more lively than the county seat, and when you enter the city, you can see from time to time that there are well-dressed people swaggering under the support of the servants, which is in stark contrast to the beggars shivering at the corners of the street beside the road.

The number of beggars here is more than Liu Meibao expected, she never knew that she didn't see any of the luxurious life described in those TV in ancient times, but she was all about this kind of homeless people's distress, looking at these homeless beggars with sad expressions and desperate eyes, she didn't complain at all when she woke up and felt miserable about her own situation.

At least she still has a home, money in hand, and hope to live, if she crosses into such a homeless person, I am afraid that she has already been reincarnated again at this time.

According to Song Langzhong's meaning, he went to see Wang Liuqi first, but Liu Meibao's body was sore because of the bumps for so long. I was tired and hungry, and I felt that it was not good to meet customers in this state, so I proposed to find a place to live first, and then go after eating and resting for a while.

For her words, Song Langzhong and Zhou Liangyu naturally did not object, Song Langzhong directly found an inn he was familiar with, asked for two rooms, Liu Meibao himself one, he and Zhou Liangyu lived in the same room, and after washing, they came out to eat a simple hot meal.

"Brother. Room money.." Taking advantage of the fact that Song Langzhong had not come down yet, Liu Meibao hurriedly reminded Zhou Liangyu.

"I've already given it." Zhou Liangyu said with a smile, "When Uncle Song was washing, I came out and gave it for two days, and the guy said that if I don't live tomorrow." and return it to me. ”

Liu Meibao smiled, and Song Langzhong also came down and beckoned them to dinner.

This inn is not very good. But it is very convenient to live in front of the store, and there are tables and chairs scattered in the lobby for guests to eat and rest, and the meal has not yet arrived. There were only three people sitting at a table eating tea and talking, and when they saw Song Langzhong, they came to sit. I just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

"It's famous here, try it." Song Langzhong sat down and introduced with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Meibao nodded with interest.

"This naïve two, Dr. Song hasn't been here for a while." The shopkeeper obviously knew him, and came over to say hello with a smile, with a thick accent, and looked at Liu Meibao and Zhou Liangyu again, "Your baby?" ”

The three of them laughed and didn't explain much.

"The real two?" Liu Meibao asked Zhou Liangyu quietly.

"It's just cold." Zhou Liangyu said in a low voice.

Liu Meibao is from the capital, and she speaks Wu Nong's warm language, but she is still not familiar with the dialect here, which also gives Shen Liumei the opportunity not to pretend to understand.

"First time, right? But it's the right place. We've got to try all of our howling," said the shopkeeper again.

"Howl?" Liu Meibao didn't understand again, and raised her eyes to look at him.

"It's delicious." Zhou Liangyu said with a smile.

Before Liu Meibao could ask what was delicious, she heard the cries of women and children coming from the backyard.

"Someone is sick to death!" Someone shouted and ran out.

This made the guys startled.

"Get out of here." A guy reacted. And he ran behind him.

It is unlucky for a person to die in an inn.

"What's wrong?" Song Lang's heart as a Chinese medicine practitioner immediately frowned and asked.

"A man came with his daughter-in-law and baby. I didn't look for it, the man was sick, and he had lived here for several days, and the shopkeeper saw that they were pitiful and confiscated the money. The shopkeeper standing next to them shook his head sympathetically.

"I'll see." Song Langzhong stood up.

"Yes, yes, Song Langzhong, you show her, the family is from Taiyuan Mansion, it's very pitiful." The guy said, and immediately led Song Langzhong away.

Liu Meibao and Zhou Liangyu naturally followed, next to the mule and horse yard is the cheapest chase shop, there are already many people in front of the house, and the cries of women and children are getting more and more poignant.

"If it doesn't work, you have to carry it out quickly, if you die here, it's not good." The shopkeeper said to a few guys.

Although the orphans and widows are pitiful, after all, there are taboos in doing business, and there is no way to do it.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here." The guy shouted, and everyone immediately got out of the way and let Song Langzhong pass.

"It's Song Langzhong." The shopkeeper knew him, and said busily, while whispering, "Let's see if there is any salvation?" ”

Song Langzhong nodded, walked to the bungalow with the door unfolded, pushed open the door, and saw a family of three on the ground closest to the door.

The woman in shabby clothes was crying on top of a man covered by a torn futon, and a child beside her who had just sat down before he left also cried loudly, and the heart palpitated.

"Mrs. Wu, the doctor is here, let the doctor take a look." The guy said.

When the woman heard this, she looked up and immediately prostrated her head and wept for help.

Song Langzhong comforted her a few words, then sat down on the floor, lifted the quilt and asked.

Liu Meibao and Zhou Liangyu also stood at the door, watching Song Langzhong concentrate on the diagnosis, and after a while, Song Langzhong withdrew his hand, twisting his beard with a worried face.

"Doctor?" The woman looked at him with blank eyes.

Song Langzhong glanced at the woman, seeing that their family was in rags, no better than the beggars on the street, and finally sighed.

"The vitality is very weak, the breath is short, the pulse is weak, if you can eat the ginseng soup, you can still save it." He said.

Although everyone can't understand the symptoms mentioned above, the last sentence of the ginseng soup is clear, that is, ginseng must be used to hang one's life.

Everyone looked at the woman's family, sighed and shook their heads, ginseng, how can this family afford to eat.

The shopkeeper sighed, and was about to let the men carry people out, but saw the woman crawl into the bunk and shout, "Ginseng!" Ginseng! I have, I have. ”

This made everyone stunned, she actually had ginseng?

Song Langzhong was also very surprised, the price of ginseng has always been very high, especially the best wild mountain ginseng, which is comparable to gold and silver, and his ancestors have not entered this medicine in their shops for several generations.

This beggar-like woman had it.

In the eyes of everyone's suspicion, the woman came over with a cloth bag, put it on the ground and opened it, and sure enough, it was a ginseng.

"I came here, I wanted to join my relatives, my relatives were old, so I sold the last family property to buy this gift to replenish my body, but I didn't expect my relatives to find it....I was thinking about selling it..."The woman cried and cried.

Song Langzhong sighed.

"First use two taels of ginseng and then add five dates to fry...", he said, while reaching out to pick up the ginseng, suddenly his face changed, "This ginseng can't be used!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who were relieved were taken aback and asked what was wrong.

"This ginseng is already moldy." Song Langzhong pointed to the ginseng in his hand and said.

The woman was shocked, trembled and took it, looking at the spotted mildew spots on the ginseng pointed out by Song Langzhong.

"Impossible, impossible, we haven't been buying this for a long time..."She turned pale, her body trembled like chaff, "We don't understand this either, the medicine merchant said it was the best..."

The people around understood that the people were gone, and the only chance for the orphans and widows who sold ginseng to survive was gone, and they all looked sad, shook their heads and sighed, but no one could do it, and they couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they left one after another.

"I'll see." Liu Meibao stepped forward and said suddenly.

The woman was already distraught, so Liu Meibao took the ginseng from her hand.

"How?" Song Langzhong looked at her and was a little puzzled.

"It still works." Liu Meibao looked at it for a while and said.

These words made the woman straighten up abruptly and look at Liu Meibao.

"Eldest sister, this medicine is different from others, once it deteriorates, it can no longer be used, otherwise it will become fatal to save your life, this ginseng is poisonous." Song Langzhong said.

Liu Meibao looked at the ginseng and rummaged it in her hand.

"This ginseng soup doesn't use much, I can get rid of this ginseng mold, although the medicinal effect is not as good as before, but it is better than nothing." She said.

Song Langzhong was stunned for a moment, "This, can you also remove mold?" ”

"Absolutely." Liu Meibao nodded, no matter what the storage conditions, the deterioration of medicinal materials is inevitable, and in order to recover economic losses, they also know how to remove mold.

But what is recovered is only economic loss, not quality loss, so this skill is easy to use.

"Girl, girl, help." The woman prostrated her head and wept.

Liu Meibao hurriedly supported her, while saying I will do my best.

Song Langzhong looked at her for a moment, then nodded.

"What is needed?" He whispered, "You write it, I'll get it." ”

In his eyes, this is naturally a unique secret recipe, so it must be kept very secret.

Liu Meibao smiled, didn't say much, took the woman's ginseng, and the three of them went back to the house, and the news spread quickly, whether the guests or the guys, they got together to talk about it, and looked at Liu Meibao's house curiously and pointed.

"What, moldy ginseng still works?" The three people who were originally sitting and drinking tea in the front hall have been sitting still, and the crying in the back hall is so lively or good, they are not interested in the slightest, and suddenly at this time I heard the people living in the store around me say that the ginseng has long hair and mold or something, so he turned his head and asked.

"How is it possible, that's not something that can be done by just scraping with a water brush and a knife." One of the older shook his head and said.

"Anyway, the girl said it very simply." The man heard this, and said as he carried the pot for them to refill the water. (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. )
