Chapter 48: Buying Fairy Dew
Liu Guiyuan gave the middle-aged man a hundred yuan, agreed to give the rest of the money after the matter was completed, and then ran all the way back to the place where he broke up with his second sister, where Liu Huahua was already waiting.
As soon as he saw Liu Guiyuan, Liu Huahua took her hand and said: "I've asked, one or two sell 250 to 300 Wen, I think the 250 Wen is too bad, the powder is still coarse, it doesn't look like it can be used, what do you think about it?" ”
Liu Guiyuan snorted and said, "I asked for this price over there, but the pearl powder they sell is too white, and I am worried that it is mixed with rice flour, so I think I should buy it in the pharmacy." Let's go, let's pick up my aunt first, and take a look at his family's pearl powder. ”
When the two sisters arrived at Ji'an Hall, their aunt had already checked their pulse, but their faces were pale and their eyes were dilated, which didn't look like a good thing. The two sisters glanced at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, one asked her how the doctor was looking, and the other reminded her if she wanted to take medicine.
Zhang came back to her senses at this time, went to the counter and handed the prescription, and waited for the guys in the pharmacy to dispense medicine for her. At this time, Liu Huahua saw his pearl powder and felt that the condition was okay, so he paid for two taels and carefully put it away.
The three of them went out together, and when they went back, both of them were a little depressed, and when they passed by a small alley, a medicine seller passed by the three of them, and shouted: "The ancestor secretly made freckle removal fairy dew, a bottle only costs two hundred Wen, and only two bottles are sold home." Don't miss the ...... as you walk by."
"Second sister, did you hear, that person is selling freckle removal fairy dew, I don't know if it's true, let's go, let's go and see?"
Liu Guiyuan made a gesture and pulled Liu Huahua to see, Liu Huahua didn't want to go, shook his head and said: "Don't go, this kind of person sells fake medicines, one year my father also bought a bottle of pills, saying that it was a secret medicine that could give birth to a son, but it turned out to be a day's stomach, and it was useless." ”
Liu Guiyuan had no choice but to run to the medicine seller by himself, pretending to be unbelieving and asking: "Hey, the medicine seller, does the freckle medicine you sell really work?" Don't fool people, if it's really a freckle-removing fairy dew, you can take it out and show it to us. ”
The medicine seller was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, took out a bottle of crystal clear water from his body, and showed off in front of the three of them: "You can see that it is not an ordinary ordinary medicine just by looking at the bottle containing fairy dew, I ask you, you can't see such a small bottle anywhere else, right?" ”
Liu Huahua and Zhang didn't believe it, but when they saw a transparent bottle the thickness of an arm, which contained crystal clear water, swaying gently as the bottle swayed, they couldn't help but come forward to take a look.
Liu Guiyuan continued to ask: "Then how did you make such a good thing, and sell it so cheaply, don't you steal it from somewhere?" ”
The middle-aged man sighed, stroked his goatee and said slowly: "You don't know, my ancestors were once prominent, my great-grandfather was full of medical books when he was young, and often went around collecting ancient recipes to develop miraculous medicines. ”
"I originally wanted to make a fortune with these two bottles of fairy dew, but my great-grandfather had a last word, if future generations are shy in their pockets, they can only trade according to the market price, and must not sell at a high price. Hey, it seems that I should not sell it, this is an ancestral house, and it would be too unfilial to sell it. ”
The middle-aged man was about to pack up his things and leave, but Liu Huahua hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't uncle, I bought this fairy dew, look at my face, just rely on the medicine in your hand, how much is it?" 200 Wen, yes, Yao, give you 400 Wen, give me both bottles. ”
Liu Huahua paid the money, took the middle-aged man's two bottles of fairy dew, looked left and right, the baby's was not good, and he held it in his arms and didn't let go. Zhang was very envious when he saw it, and his heart moved, and he asked the middle-aged man: "Do you have a panacea for regulating a woman's childbirth?" ”
As soon as the middle-aged man heard that there was another business coming to the door, he opened his mouth happily and began to flicker, how could Liu Guiyuan let him swagger in front of him, standing at the end of his head and coughing fiercely, and at the same time signaling him to leave with his eyes, the middle-aged man could only shut his mouth and hurriedly left with the medicine box and red flags.
"Hey, why is this person gone, I haven't bought it yet."
Zhang was anxious to chase after her, but Liu Guiyuan hurriedly stopped her and persuaded her: "Auntie, he just said that there are only two bottles of freckle removal fairy dew in his hand, which he passed down from his great-grandfather." Do you think he wants to have some other panacea, and he won't sell it to you? ”
This man who sells wild medicine is the one Liu Guiyuan just gave money, and as for the fairy dew in her hand, it is the two boxes of cosmetics in her travel backpack, and the genuine goods bought at the counter are very effective for freckle removal.
Liu Guiyuan was inconvenient to take out the cosmetics in the bag directly, so he could only pretend to be a medicine seller, and send them to the hands of the second sister Liu Huahua indiscriminately.
Zhang blushed slightly, and just now he told the secret of his childbirth in a hurry, and he was embarrassed to say nothing to the two nieces. Liu Guiyuan knew that she was embarrassed, and tried not to talk along the way, and the second sister Liu Huahua was still immersed in the excitement of buying good things, so she was only busy hurrying and didn't talk much.
When they arrived at home, Grandma Luo had already cooked the meal, leaned in front of the door and waited for them, and when she saw them coming back, her granddaughter Peanut's face was not sad, but the youngest daughter Zhang's face was extremely bad, and she was still carrying a pack of medicine in her hand.
It seems that his daughter can't have children? Grandma Luo was so anxious that she couldn't swallow it, and so did Zhang's family, she only ate a small half bowl of rice for lunch, and went to the house to lie down under the excuse of seeing this.
"Is it really?"
The eldest sister Liu Hongzao hugged the lotus seeds, and asked the two younger sisters as she walked, and her voice was small, so she was afraid that the people in the back room would hear it.
Liu Guiyuan nodded, silent, infertility is not very easy to treat in modern times, not to mention that in this time and space, she only hopes that the doctors here have superb medical skills, and Zhang's illness is not so serious, and it can be treated by medicine alone.
In the afternoon, when the sun set a little, Aunt Zhang ignored Grandma Luo's obstruction, and hurried back to her mother-in-law's house with her baggage.
After Aunt Zhang left, Grandma Luo was depressed for a whole afternoon, and the sisters didn't know how to persuade her, so they could only carefully make her happy. Grandma Luo knew that several granddaughters were filial, so she spent the night at her house with a smiling face, and said that she was worried about her family after breakfast the next day and wanted to go back to see it first.
Liu Guiyuan knew that Grandma Luo was worried about Zhang's family, and was afraid that she would be harassed by her mother-in-law when she arrived at her mother-in-law's house because she couldn't have children, so she made an excuse and hurried home. After all, their Shuangya Village and Xitou Village are close to each other, if there is really anything, Grandma Luo and her two sons can support the little girl.
"Then grandma, your family is busy, but don't forget to come to my house for a few more days, Lianzi is used to you hugging her, and she will cry if you are not there." Liu Guiyuan handed the packed baggage to Grandma Luo.
Grandma Luo nodded, and told the eldest sister Liu Hongzao to take her three younger sisters to live well at home, and to close the door to sleep as soon as it gets dark at night, etc., Liu Hongzao naturally promised to take good care of her sisters.
As soon as Grandma Luo left, there were two less people in the house, and it became empty in an instant, Liu Huaanhua lay on the dinner table and sighed: "The adults are not at home, and the three of us have to be busy again." ”
It turned out that when my grandmother was there, there were people to cook three meals in the morning, noon and evening, as long as she went to Liu Jindi's house to wash the wild loquats, occasionally went to the East Lake to pick up some grass, and fished some snails by the way, the day's work was completed, as for the work of feeding pigs and washing clothes, the eldest sister would take care of it.
Recently, I have to make eight buckets of ice powder every day, which is really unbearable, so Liu Hongzao suggested Liu Guiyuan, "If you don't call the fourth grandmother to come over to help, the treatment will be the same as that of the eldest aunt and Sister Jin Di." ”
"That's okay, eldest sister, you go to the fourth grandmother and say, if she wants, give her fifteen yuan, and the eldest aunt will also rise to fifteen yuan, everyone has worked hard during this time, and after the dog days, everyone can rest with it." Liu Guiyuan thought for a while and said.
At the beginning, Liu Guiyuan asked the eldest aunt and Sister Jin Di to help with things, and the daily salary was ten yuan, but recently the sales of ice powder have risen, and their mother and daughter are a little busy every day, so it is better to give them another five cents for a fee.
Liu Hongzao nodded, put down the half-packed dishes and chopsticks, and went to the fourth grandmother's house in the back, Liu Guiyuan took her stacked dishes and chopsticks, put them into the wooden basin against the wall, scooped a scoop of water and washed them.
"Second sister, did you use the pearl powder and fairy dew you bought yesterday, how do you feel?" Liu Guiyuan washed the dishes and chopsticks, and sat in front of her with a small bench to talk.
"I used it, I feel that my face is slippery, and as for the black spots on my face, it's fine." Liu Huahua patted his little face, not so happy.
"How can it be so fast, you have to persevere, you rub some pearl powder to cover up during the day, wipe your face with fairy dew at night, and I will make you a little more plant mask, to ensure that after a month, your face will become white and tender."
The two bottles of freckle removal products that Liu Guiyuan bought when she traveled belong to a well-known brand of Chinese medicine, with first-class blemish effect and no side effects on the body, otherwise she would not dare to take them out casually for her second sister. But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Liu Guiyuan is worried that the second sister will use it slowly, so she decided to formulate a 28-day whitening skin care plan.
"What is a plant mask?" As soon as Liu Huaanhua heard that his face could turn white and tender, he immediately became interested.
"You don't care, when I get it done, you can follow it, you watch the lotus seeds at home, I'll go to my second aunt's house to pick a few cucumbers, and go back to make a cucumber mask for you, and replenish the water first."
The vegetables, melons and fruits in this time and space are all natural, even if they are made into a mask and applied to the face, it will not hurt the skin, originally Liu Guiyuan wanted to make an egg white cucumber mask, but considering that there may be germs in the egg white, think about it.
The next time she goes to town, she'll buy some honey, and that thing will work well with pearl powder on her face.
