Chapter 123: Concoction and lackeys
Xin Yi was a little surprised.
When she first met, she was just moved by An Niangzi's maternal love to protect her daughter regardless of her life, and she rescued her because of her temperament, but she didn't expect An Niangzi to know some medical skills.
Xin Yi was overjoyed.
"If that's the case, then it's good to dare to do so."
After a pause, she glanced at the little daughter led by Mrs. An's thin clothes, her little face was cold, and she looked pitiful, and quickly asked her lover to take her to the back hall to roast the fire first, and then she took out the remaining test paper and handed it to Mrs. An.
"You can try it too. I don't discriminate. ”
An Niangzi's face was astringent, "I can't write." ”
Xin Yi was slightly stunned, "No?" ”
An Niangzi nodded, her eyes lowered, "I've just been working in the medicine hall since I was a child, and I know some pharmacology, but I'm blind, I can't read a few words, and I can't write." ”
Xinyi: ......
An Niangzi pleaded with a pleading face, "I was really desperate, so I came to take refuge through the guidance of others...... If the lady doesn't believe me, why don't you test me? ”
Xin Yi invited her to sit down and thought for a while, "What are you doing at your uncle's house?" ”
An Niangzi: "Concoct medicinal materials." ”
Xin Yi smiled and looked at her for a moment, "Then I'll test you." If you want to use pomegranate root bark as medicine, how to do it? ”
An Niangzi thought for a while and said softly: "Dig and harvest in autumn, soak it in slurry water for a night, and you can use it. However, pomegranate roots are extremely taboo to iron and should not be dug with iron tools. ”
Xin Yi: "What about the white front concoction?" ”
An Niangzi said: "Wash the white front, cut it into sections, and dry it in the shade, and then use it to soak it in raw licorice water for a day and night, and then filter it out and use it, remove the fibrous roots, and dry it into medicine." However, the taste is pungent before raw whiteness, which is easy to cause stomach and abdominal discomfort. It is best made with honey. ”
Xin Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw her answer.
This illiterate An Niangzi is actually a master of concoction?
Especially like white before refining with honey, this method is not commonly used by people at the time, but it is respected in modern research.
Although this may be the original setting of the plan, Xin Yi still likes it very much.
She got up and beckoned to Lady An, motioning for her to follow her to the medicine cabinet and open a random drawer.
"What kind of herb is this?"
"Kikyo."
"Where's this?"
"Rhubarb."
"This ......"
"Dendrobium."
“……”
"Comfrey."
“……”
"Aconite."
One pulls the drawer and the other reports the name of the drug, all right.
Xin Yi smiled even more, and asked her some relevant pharmacology, and the answers were fluent.
It's just that in terms of asking for a diagnosis and prescribing a prescription and taking the pulse to see a doctor, An Niangzi is more rusty.
Although she doesn't know a word, her understanding of the medicinal materials themselves is better than ordinary people, and she really grew up in the medicine hall since she was a child.
Maybe it was the same life experience, which made Xin Yi feel a little more good for An Niangzi, closed the drawer, and smiled at her.
"In the future, you will be the head of medicinal materials in Xinyi Fang, right?"
"Herb Chief?"
An Niangzi was shocked, and it seemed that she didn't expect to be reused by Xin Yi at all, so she stammered.
"No, no, no, I, how can I do it?"
"Of course you can."
Xin Yi pursed her lips when she saw that she was nervous and flustered.
"In the future, you and Xiao Zhen'er will live in the workshop with us, but the place is not big, and now I am afraid that you two will have to bother you two to squeeze in the utility room, I don't know if you can do it?"
An Niangzi was overjoyed, "Make, make." We can sleep on the floor with a bunk. ”
"Then it's settled. Monthly, at the moment, I can only give 500 Wen, take care of your mother's food and accommodation, and when your livelihood gets better in the future, then depending on the situation and raise your salary, what do you think? ”
The purchasing power of five hundred Wen, Xin Yi has already calculated, in terms of the level of the head manager in the pharmacy in Bianjing, of course, it is not high, but it will not be unkind.
"It's too much, little lady, it's already too much." An Niangzi's eyes were filled with tears, and she said honestly, "When I originally came, I just wanted to have a place to stay......"
When Xin Yi heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly.
"That's right. You said you were instructed to join me? ”
An Niangzi nodded.
Xin Yi asked, "Who?" ”
An Niangzi said: "The grandson of the Imperial City Division." I was separated from the little lady on the boat that day, and I was taken back to the Imperial City Division by the king of Guangling County, and when I testified, I explained my origin, and my father-in-law learned that my mother's house was far away, and there was no one left, and there was nowhere to go with a girl, but I was first familiar with pharmacology, so I was instructed to come......"
Xin Yi sighed and nodded.
"Grandpa Sun is a kind-hearted person."
An Niangzi opened her mouth, "The king of Guangling County is also ......"
At this point, the conversation stopped abruptly.
Xin Yihu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with the King of Guangling County?" ”
An Niangzi seemed to be worried, shook her head with a worried face, and smiled bitterly, "Nothing." The king of Guangling did not embarrass me. These few days in the Imperial City Division are the most comfortable days for our mother and mother in the past few years, and it can be regarded as a good year. ”
Xin Yi smiled and nodded, didn't say anything, and asked the lover to come over and take the two of them down to settle down.
At this time, she learned that An Niangzi, her maiden name only had a Jin character, and her daughter also followed her surname, called An Zhen'er.
Jin, Miyu also. Xin Yi felt that the name An Jin was not chosen casually at first glance, but Zhen'er seemed casual.
She didn't know what this An Niangzi had experienced, but since she didn't say it, Xin Yi didn't ask.
It turned out that a few guys in the Sun family's pharmacy were mostly recruited by Dong Dahai, Xin Yi felt awkward, and when the exam was over, he left two appearance points, and the answer sheet score was also high, and the rest was sent away with some money.
She doesn't plan to do it in one step, with the current scale, these people are enough, and the labor cost can no longer be amortized.
"Sister." When Xiang Ling came in, Xin Yi was bending down to take out the damp wood incense from the cabinet.
Hearing this, she said, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiang Ling wrung his handkerchief and did not make a sound.
Xin Yi sensed her emotions, so she turned around: "What's wrong?" Stuck in a dilemma? ”
Xiang Ling bit her lower lip, "It's not that I'm in trouble, it's Wenzi." ”
Xin Yi sighed, slowly stood up, and put Mu Xiang on the counter, "What's wrong with Wen Zi?" ”
Xiang Ling seemed a little embarrassed, "She asked us if we wanted to ...... people in the store."
Speaking of this, without waiting for Xin Yi to answer, she lowered her head.
"My lover and I don't understand pharmacology, we are just people who eat idle meals, and Wen Zi can't ...... I know that my sister is embarrassed, and if she doesn't promise me, it's okay......"
Xin Yi laughed.
"I didn't even speak, you finished talking for me. Say, what's going on with Wenzi? Aren't you a good helper in the incense medicine shop? Why do you suddenly want to change jobs? ”
On the day they moved, Wen Zi came to help.
However, there seem to be a lot of things in the incense medicine shop, and although they live very close, Wen Zi rarely comes to find Xiangling.
Xin Yi thought that Wen Zi was disgusted with less money and more things, but he didn't expect that the answer was actually for the sake of girlhood.
Wen Zi fell in love with Du Zhongqing, the shopkeeper of the incense medicine shop, and got along with her every day and night, her heart was like a deer, but she promised others, and the bride price was accepted.
But she couldn't quit her job and leave directly, for fear that her stepfather would beat her, so she wanted to find a job in a pharmacy to replace it, earn some wages, and not meet Du Zhongqing, and she would not be disliked by her family.
Xin Yi thought for a moment, "We still lack manpower in our store, but what's the point of us being so close to Du's incense medicine shop?" You ask her about it. ”
Xiang Ling nodded frequently, and went straight to Wen Zi to say.
At noon, Zheng Liu, the guard next to Cao Yi, came, and brought Cao Yi's words, saying that someone would be sent to pick her up and go to the house in the evening to give her family a peace pulse.
Xin Yi knew that Empress Cao was about to leave the palace, so she agreed, sent Zheng Liu, and in the afternoon, she and her men turned out the medicinal materials and dried them.
She was busy until the evening, when she went back to the house to bathe and change her clothes, changed her clothes, and sat at the door eating refreshments and waiting for someone from Caofu to pick her up.
Unexpectedly, the people in the palace who came first than Cao Fu were the people in the palace.
A small sedan chair with a blue curtain stopped outside the door of Xinyifang, and the waiter spoke softly, with a strong dissatisfaction, "Mrs. Zhang is empty now?" ”
When Xin Yi looked at this person, he immediately felt that the orange cake in his hand was not fragrant.
"I wonder what my father-in-law is looking for me?"
Seeing that she was knowingly asking, the chamberlain snorted softly.
"Our lady has been sick for a long time and wants to ask Mrs. Zhang to go to the doctor. But Mrs. Zhang is really more difficult to invite than the imperial doctor, and the dead people in the family will move and open a pharmacy for a while, and they are busier than the nobles...... I don't know if I can please touch you today? ”
This kind of sour words, Xin Yi doesn't like to listen to half of it.
But even if the other party is a bullying dog, it is also Zhang Guifei's dog.
It depends on the owner to beat the dog, so Xin Yi replied with a smile on his face.
"I don't dare to hide it from my father-in-law, I have an appointment today, and I really can't go to see your nobles......"
"What?" Before Xin Yi finished speaking, the waiter was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, pointed to her face and asked, "You little girl, you snub our lady so much, are you looking for death?" ”
