Chapter 16 Identification of Medicinal Materials

After tying up the pine needles, Ge Changlin drove the car, and the brother and sister squeezed on the wheel.

Afraid that Xiangling would be turned upside down by the donkey cart or pricked by the pine needles in the back, Chu Xia hugged Xiangling's little shoulders tightly, causing Xiangling to feel so soft and confused that she secretly swore that she must find a good daughter-in-law for her eldest brother and slap the blind Li Xiaocui in the face.

The donkey cart went straight to Yushu Village, where Zhou Langzhong was located.

Zhou Langzhong's medicine house is located at the west end of the village, the courtyard covers a large area, the left side is full of various medicinal materials, and the right side is full of large round dustpans, drying different types of processed medicinal materials.

Zhou Langzhong is taking a small servant, shuttling around, very busy.

Chu Xia walked up to Zhou Langzhong and said, "Zhou Langzhong, we're here to send you pine needles." ”

Zhou Langzhong ignored him, grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs very intently, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and said unhurriedly: "It's okay with kudzu, Xiao-Sanzi, put it away." ”

The third son of the little girl put the medicinal materials in the box and accidentally broke a piece, Zhou Langzhong glanced at it with a dignified look, and the third son was scared, and immediately slowed down his hands and feet, carefully loaded the box, put the box back in front of the medicine house, and ran back to follow Zhou Langzhong.

There was nothing to do left and right, Xiangling followed behind Zhou Langzhong and followed him to look at the medicinal materials.

Modern Western medicine is prevalent, and I am very ignorant of Chinese medicine Xiangling, and I only think that Chinese medicine can cure various diseases by boiling different grass roots, tree bark, and even big insects together, which is quite mysterious.

Xiangling silently wrote down the characteristics and taste of the medicinal herbs, thinking that if she met them in the mountains one day, she would not miss the opportunity to make a fortune because she didn't know her.

In front of another dustpan, I looked at the long thin black stem inside, and wondered what grass would grow like this? Xiangling couldn't help but ask, "What kind of medicinal herb is this?" It looks strange and smells strange. ”

Zhou Langzhong replied solemnly: "This is the earth dragon, also known as the universal bait, and you can have it in the Epsom gold recipe you drink, which is convenient for urination." ”

"Earth Dragon?" Xiangling had an ominous premonition and looked at the little third son on the side.

The little third son laughed teasingly: "It's the earthworm." ”

The little third son thought that Xiangling would be nauseated for a while, but the little girl asked without changing her face: "How much does it cost a catty?" ”

The little third son replied in astonishment: "Fresh insects are twenty dollars a catty." ”

"Oh."

Zhou Langzhong and Xiao Sanzi were quite surprised by Xiangling's reaction, and it was the first time they saw each other in the face of a girl whose face did not change in the face of dense insects.

In front of a big dustpan again, Xiangling almost rushed over, holding the two medicinal materials inside, her eyes were shining, and her hands were trembling with excitement!

What was put in it turned out to be peppercorns and spices!! They didn't even appear in the spice shop, but in the medicine house!

Zhou Langzhong never thought that Xiangling would be so eager for these two medicinal materials, and when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that at the age of the little girl, I am afraid that she can use it.

Zhou Langzhong solemnly said to Xiangling: "The girl's symptoms need to be boiled for three days, and when she leaves for a while, Miss Chu will take away six pairs, the same as before, six pennies, and six catties of pine needles." ”

Xiangling always felt that something was wrong, and the fox asked: "Zhou Langzhong, is there any sequelae of my stomach disease?" Still need to take medicine? ”

Zhou Langzhong was also stunned by Xiangling's question, and asked solemnly: "Octagonal water relieves the lower abdomen qi fall, and the pepper water temperature relieves the pain, isn't Miss Chu coming to menstrual abdominal pain?" ”

Xiangling had the urge to cover her face, and said secretly in her heart, Zhou Langzhong, although you are Langzhong, can you not speak so bluntly? I talk to you about cooking, you talk to me about menstruation, chickens talk to ducks, donkeys don't talk to horses.

Xiangling blushed and said, "No need, don't dare to bother Zhou Langzhong anymore." ”

Zhou Langzhong thought that Xiangling's blushing was because it was the first time she came to menstruation, and her youngest daughter's family was shy, so she didn't say anything, and walked to the last dustpan.

Grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs like tree bark, checked the color, smelled the smell again, and said happily to the third son: "This is the cow thousand catties sent by the shopkeeper Chen?" The cutting is much more symmetrical than last time, and the color is also superior, so let him bring another 200 catties to stock up tomorrow. ”

(Niu Qianjin, also known as white skin, medicine for sword wounds)

Niu Qianjin, obviously a herb, but he called the name of the animal, and smelled the bark of the tree, huh? It seems to smell more than the bark.

Xiangling was afraid that she had smelled it wrong, so she grabbed the medicinal herb and put it on the tip of her nose, sniffed it carefully, and said, "Zhou Langzhong, there is a sentence that is wrong, don't take it to heart." These herbs seem to be moldy. ”

"It's moldy, how is that possible?" Zhou Langzhong grabbed a handful of cattle jacks again, This time he smelled very carefully, and his face finally changed after smelling and smelling.

The old man threw the medicinal herbs on the ground and stepped on his feet, and scolded angrily: "Chen Papi, you wolf cub!" After so many years of cooperation, he still deceived the old man! If something goes wrong with this soldier, Yang Qingyue can kill the old man alive! ”

Zhou Langzhong hid his anger and thanked Xiangling: "It is not easy for a little girl to be able to distinguish the taste of mold from so many smells." ”

Xiangling smiled and didn't speak.

Zhou Langzhong said with a look of shame: "The surname Chen tried to dilute the musty smell of the old medicinal materials, and then mixed them into the good medicinal materials, and the appearance of the treatment looked better, which fooled the old man, thank you for the reminder." ”

Xiangling waved her hand again and again: "Zhou Langzhong's words are serious, it should be that I thank Zhou Langzhong for saving his life." According to the agreement, we sent the pine needles over, you have weighed, if the deficiency is enough, we will make up for it tomorrow. ”

"Little-third son," Zhou Langzhong turned his head to the little servant and instructed: "Go and get the big scale, help Miss Chu weigh the pine needles, and pay the extra money by one penny and one catty." ”

Xiao-Sanzi looked at Zhou Langzhong in embarrassment, his face was flushed, and he squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "Master, the master has put away the big scale, and only the small scale on money weighing is left." ”

If this is weighed with a small scale, it is estimated that it will be weighed in the Year of the Monkey.

Zhou Langzhong squeezed out a sneer at Xiangling and went to the main room of the medicine house.

Xiangling's ears were sharp, and soon he heard the scolding voice of the woman in the room: "You dead old man, you know how to use pine needles to pay for medicine all day long, have you sold the bullshit pine needle wine you brewed for a jar?" The second grandson is looking at the bundle, other people's families take eggs and firewood, do I take pine needles? If you don't want to be ashamed, I still have to be embarrassed! If you dare to collect pine needles again, the old lady will lift your medicine dustpan ........"

Zhou Langzhong, who was still very arrogant outside, replied weakly: "Madame, this is not a bad word, pine needle wine is not bullshit wine, long-term drinking and combined with earthwork, can relieve rheumatism and leg disease, we mountain people drink it is beneficial........."

"There's a fart benefit, I only know that the people in the mountains are so poor that they can't eat, who will spend more than 20 yuan to buy your wine to drink! Get out of here, turn your pine needles into a bundle for me! Otherwise, don't want to eat my cooking and sleep on the kang I burned......."

Zhou Langzhong walked out of the house with his head held high, he couldn't see that he had just been hit hard, and said to Xiangling with a glance: "It's not a coincidence, the big name was borrowed by the Zhang butcher who sold pork, and it will be returned in a few days, you leave the pine needles, and I will settle the bill for you later." ”

"......" Xiangling was speechless, she didn't expect Zhou Langzhong to be an old man with a swollen face and a fat man, obviously being pinched to death by his daughter-in-law, and pretending to be machismo.

Chu Xia hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Where did Zhou Langzhong say, my sister let me weigh it, because there was no weighing at home, for fear that the pine needles would not be picked enough." If there is enough pounds and a surplus, you will never dare to ask for another money. We're going to unload the truck. ”

Chu Xia and Ge Changlin were busy moving pine needles under the car.
