Chapter 19: Tricks

Walking out of Song Langzhong's pharmacy, Qingya still pouted and complained.

"Girl, what do you say... How can you say that... How can you want to be a buddy... Girl, although we are poor, you can't be a man for others....."

The little girl seemed to be frightened by her words.

"Even if it's when it's me..."

"Isn't it just a buddy, what's all the fuss," Liu Meibao said, "I don't want to be someone else." ”

"Girl, it's all for me that I want to make money in a hurry." Qingya's eyes were red again, and she said sullenly.

"It's not just for you." Liu Meibao smiled, while holding her hand, "I also want to make money, I can eat better, dress better, and live better..."

Qingya laughed again at what she said, although the reality expressed by these words was sad, but when it came out of the girl's mouth, she felt that it was not so heavy, especially with a smile on the girl's face.

"Girl, or I'll get married." Qingya paused and said, "Qingya is a slave, and she should have been sold a year ago..."

"What do you say?" Liu Meibao knocked her head with a smile, "Isn't it the rent, isn't it the end of the month, maybe we can pick up the money by walking with our heads down for a while....."

"Ah, really?" Qingya grinned and lowered her head a little exaggeratedly, "Then I have to take a good look." ”

The laughter of the two girls sounded on the street, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.

Liu Meibao stuck out her tongue slightly, and made a boo gesture at Qingya, Qingya also shrank her head and smiled, the two of them straightened their looks, and just took a few steps, they heard someone next to them call.

"Miss Liu, Miss Liu."

Liu Meibao looked for the sound and saw that he had walked to the door of Lu Laosi's warehouse, and Lu Laosi was walking out of the store and waving at them.

"Boss Lu." Liu Meibao said hello with a smile, while explaining that the cloth of the third lady has not been woven yet, and we are going to the city to find Song Langzhong for something.

"Miss Liu, you're here just in time..."Lu Laosi interrupted her, and hurriedly shouted to a façade across the street, "Xiaoquanzi, quickly call your shopkeeper!" ”

Liu Meibao looked and saw that this was also a shop, and the façade of the layout was similar to that of the four old people on the road, hanging the words "Zhiwei Garden", and floating wine banners, indicating that this was a tavern, it was still early at this time, and there were not many customers inside.

A young man was obviously very familiar with this side, and when he heard the shouting, he stood at the door and said with a smile: "Does Master Lu want to eat on credit again?" Shout so loudly, be careful that your aunt hears and beats you..."

While joking, he turned around and went in.

"If you eat oil, you know how to be poor." Lu Laosi scolded with a smile, and hurriedly turned his head to invite Liu Meibao to sit inside, while explaining to her, "The tall fat man on the other side is also in the same problem as me..."

As he spoke, he heard a loud voice come in.

"I'm busy shouting what I'm doing." As he spoke, a man walked in, about forty years old, really tall and fat, but he was wearing the silk that Liu Meibao saw for the first time after crossing over.

This is a rich man, Liu Meibao glanced at her eyes and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"Didn't you keep asking me how this itchy is good..."Lu Laosi stretched out his hand and pulled him and led him to Liu Meibao, "It's this girl..."

The tall fat man looked Liu Meibao up and down, looking incredulous.

"Fourth Lu, are you playing with me?" He said.

"What am I going to do with you!" Lu Laosi glared at him and smiled at Liu Meibao, "Miss Liu, this is my neighbor, and this is also the problem..."

"Can you look for Song Langzhong? Is it indeed blood wind sores? Liu Meibao asked.

Hearing her say Song Langzhong and blood sores, the tall fat man was a little suspicious.

"You also know Song Langzhong, and you also know blood sores?" He asked, looking at Liu Meibao again.

"Miss Liu's herbs are all sold to Song Langzhong, and Song Langzhong praises her medicine for being good..."Lu Laosi felt that Gao Fat was questioning himself, and said with a little displeasure, of course, the last sentence was automatically added by the habit of the traders.

Liu Meibao smiled, and was busy explaining politely, after all, selling medicine and seeing a doctor are two different things, and before he opened his mouth, he saw the tall fat man reach out and lift it, and threw over a small money bag.

"Since that's the case, you can show me, it's really good, thank you for the consultation." The tall fat man said with a big grin, sat down on the side, and automatically stretched out his hand.

This is waiting for the pulse... Liu Meibao was stunned for a moment, Qingya couldn't help but take the money bag, poured it out and saw that it was a string of heavy copper coins and two or three broken silver the size of soybeans.

"How much?" Liu Meibao couldn't help but ask in a low voice, watching Qingya's face change from stunned to surprised.

"Enough.. Enough..."Qingya stammered as she squeezed her money bag tightly.

Is a thousand Wen enough? Liu Meibao's eyes also lit up.

"I said, since the consultation fee is enough, let's take a look..."The tall fat man said impatiently, stretching out his other hand to scratch his calf through his clothes, "It's really itching the more I scratch...."

Liu Meibao coughed, gritted her teeth and raised her hand to touch the veins of the tall fat man's hand.

“.. Well, the number of pulses....the tongue is red and yellow.. This is a sign of the blood and heat...," she said slowly.

"Okay, little girl, you don't need to look at the tongue coating, just check the pulse to know that my tongue is yellow and dry..."The tall fat man patted his leg and widened his eyes in approval.

"I'll take a look, I'll see..."Lu Laosi hurriedly leaned over curiously, signaling the tall fat man to open his mouth.

The tall fat man opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue for him to see.

"Sure enough..." Lu Laosi was also very surprised, and a little proud, "Look, when did I say a big thing, you still don't believe it, I've cured it myself, and I can't coax you..."

Liu Meibao smiled awkwardly, coughed, and hurriedly finished the diagnosis of this foolish person.

"First use six taels of pig's blood and two taels of lard, cook and eat, eat once every two days, try three times in a row, and see how it goes." She said.

"Pig's blood." Gao Fat Man was very happy, "I don't like to take the bitter medicine prescribed by those doctors, or you prescribe this medicine well, I just take it twice a day..."

"Once every two days is enough." Liu Meibao said with a smile, "There are still days when you don't take a bath, don't eat spicy, wine, strong tea, coffee... Ahem, don't drink it...."

The tall fat man nodded in response and said a few hellos.

"If it's cured, I'll make you a sign of rejuvenation and send it," he laughed.

"No, don't dare, don't dare.." Liu Meibao waved her hand a little embarrassed, and got up to say goodbye.

In one breath, he kept walking out of the city gate with the green girl's feet, and then excitedly pulled her over and stood next to a tree.

"How much?" She asked in a low voice, holding back her excitement.

"A tael of broken silver!" Qingya clutched the money bag tightly and grinned.

"Show me." Liu Meibao hurriedly stretched out her hand.

Qingya carefully poured the broken silver from the money bag into her hand.
