Chapter 53: Five hundred wen and one tael

Cheng Qingwan twitched the corners of her mouth, turned around and walked towards the house.

"What about the divine doctor, isn't he very interested in the snow mountain qi?"

"He went to the next county two days ago and wants to stay there for a while."

Cheng Qingwan took a small hoe and walked to the backyard.

The chickens and ducks in the backyard are already in the town, and after digging up the snow mountain sembranaceus today, there are only two mango trees left.

Cheng Qingwan was digging while thinking about what to plant next.

Everything that should be planted is planted, and it is waiting to be harvested.

She thought about it for a while, and finally decided to plant the herb seeds and tomatoes.

Cheng Qingwan took advantage of everyone's inattention, quietly picked up the seed in the system, and put it in her sleeve.

Half an acre of herbs is not too much, and it is not too much to say less.

Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao, plus Yuanqi and Azhu, took a morning to collect a quarter.

Just at noon, Lian Zhi and Aunt Liu came to deliver the meal, so they left the two to harvest together.

"We haven't seen this snow mountain qi here, not even on the mountain, Wanwan, you are really amazing, you can actually grow it." Aunt Liu praised with a smile.

Cheng Qingwan blinked and said with a smile: "Then Aunt Liu, how much silver can the average Snow Mountain Qi sell?" ”

"The pharmacy next door to our pastry shop sells five hundred wen a tael, and a pound costs five taels of silver." Aunt Liu thought of this price and secretly snorted: "This snow mountain qi is very good for your aunt's illness, you can leave some to dry and hide, and when you catch medicine in the future, it will be the same." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."

"Your aunt, I got sick again in the morning, although I have taken medicine now and stabilized, but let's let the divine doctor take a look later."

"The divine doctor is not here these days, I will go to St. Ann's Church later to ask a doctor to take a look first." Cheng Qingwan said.

Aunt Liu nodded: "It's okay, the doctor of Sheng'an Hall is the best in the town." ”

After everyone finished their meal quickly, they hurried to work.

Except for Yuanqi and Lianzhi, the rest of the people usually work, and their movements are very quick, and they fill two bags in a short time.

Cheng Qingwan took the cloth bag to the house, rubbed her sore waist, looked at the vegetable patch that had been harvested about the same, thought for a while and said to Song Qiaoqiao, who was closest to her: "In the afternoon, you collected the rest." I turned over the empty ground and planted the seeds. ”

"Okay, these should be finished soon, and when I get it here, I'll help you."

Cheng Qingwan nodded, went back to the house to change a hoe, and then came to turn over the ground.

The land is not large, and it will be turned over quickly.

The others had also finished harvesting the snow mountain qi at this moment, Song Qiaoqiao took the hoe and said, "You sow seeds, and I will fill the pit behind you." ”

"Okay." Cheng Qingwan handed her the hoe with confidence, and chatted with her while sowing seeds in front.

The two matched, they didn't get tired of work, and they finished their work quickly.

When Cheng Qingwan poured the water, the sun had just set.

She divided some of the herbs and handed them to Yuanqi: "Thank you, when you come to town tomorrow, I will ask A-Niang to pay you the salary." ”

"No need, you haven't opened yet, and there are many places to use the money, so you should keep it for yourself."

Cheng Qingwan stuffed the cloth bag into his hand: "That's not good, I can't let you work with A Zhubai." This bag contains not only yours, but also the healer, remember to help me pass it on to him. ”

Yuan Qi lowered his eyes, and there was a taste of food: "Why doesn't he work?" ”

"This is not for him, it is my aunt's medicine primer in the future."

After saying that, she stepped forward, gently hugged the person in front of her, and then immediately turned around and got into the carriage.

Yuan Qi looked at the shadow of the carriage leaving, lowered his head and chuckled.

When the group returned to the town, it was completely dark.

Cheng Qingwan parked the carriage at the door, turned around and said to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, you take back the bag of herbs in the back first, I will take the herbs to Sheng'an Church and sell them now, and by the way, ask a doctor to come back and help A-Niang take a look." ”

"Okay, then you come back quickly, lest the food get cold."

Cheng Qingwan nodded and got off, looked at the person next to her who didn't plan to get out of the car, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you get out of the car yet?" ”

"I have to go with you, it's not safe at night." Song Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "In case you eat something delicious on the way, I can still rub a few bites." ”

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she instantly laughed and drove away in the carriage.

St. Ann's Church is not far away, just a few hundred meters away, and it will not take long to arrive.

Cheng Qingwan tied the carriage to the stone pillar at the door, and carried a few bags of herbs into it with Song Qiaoqiao.

"Two girls, who are you?" The medicine boy soon saw it and immediately greeted him.

"Oh, I have some herbs here, I don't know if you can accept them." Cheng Qingwan put down the cloth bag and took a breath.

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll call me Master." The medicine boy hurriedly walked to the side of the man sitting in the clinic, whispered a few words, and the two walked out together.

The man touched his snow-white beard: "Girl, I am the owner of Sheng'an Church, my surname is Wu, I don't know what kind of herb it is?" ”

"It's a freshly picked snow mountain membranaceus, take a look."

Dr. Wu glanced down at the cloth bag, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed on his face: "Actually... It's really a snow mountain membranaceus, or freshly picked from it! Son, are you from a foreign country? ”

Cheng Qingwan knew why he asked, because the geography and climate of Huaxian County did not grow snow mountain membranaceus at all, and the medicine shops used it were all dried by the pharmacists.

"No, I'm from Huaxian, and I grew this herb myself."

"You grew it yourself? Where is it planted? Dr. Wu was very excited and immediately asked.

"My backyard." Cheng Qingwan thought for a while and said: "I also brought this kind of seed by chance, so I planted it casually, I didn't expect it to really live, look at this herb, do you want it?" ”

"Yes, of course. This snow mountain qi looks good, and usually they bring it, it is three hundred wen and one tael. Well, how about giving you five hundred wen and one tael? ”

"Five hundred wen?" Cheng Qingwan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked.

"Little girl, the price of Snow Mountain Qi is very high. If you go to other pharmacies in the town and ask, it's usually only 300 Wen. The doctor looked at her hesitantly, and said while pounding the medicine.

"No need to ask, I trust you."

The doctor nodded, and weighed the snow mountain qi in the basket: "It's a total of five catties, and I'll give you twenty-five taels of silver." ”

Cheng Qingwan took the silver, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that she wanted to ask a doctor to treat Cheng Hua'er.

"Doctor, can you come with me? My aunt is sick, and I have to bother you to go and see it at home. ”

The doctor nodded when he heard this, and instructed the medicine boy to bring the medicine box: "Where do you live?" ”

"It's a pastry shop just around the corner."

"You're the little girl at the pastry shop before you finish it?" The doctor exclaimed in surprise and looked her up and down: "It's not too far, then I'll go with you." ”

"My carriage is just outside." Cheng Qingwan hurriedly invited people into the carriage and walked home.

After only a few steps, the road in front of him was blocked, and the carriage stopped, Cheng Qingwan frowned, looking at several carriages parked on the always cold street.

If you look closely at the clothes and outfits of those people, they don't look like ordinary people, but like domestic servants of large families.

Layers of people surrounded the black carriage in the middle, and everyone seemed to be waiting for the people in the carriage to get down.

After a while, a pampered hand lifted the curtain, and a familiar figure stepped down from the carriage.

Cheng Qingwan met the man's eyes and pursed her lips, isn't this the Jinghou last night!

"This is Jinghou from the capital, and he is the cousin of the current emperor." The doctor lifted the curtain and looked ahead.

"What?"

"This Hou Ye's mother is the emperor's aunt, isn't this his cousin? It is said that he has not married a wife for many years, and he is still alone. The doctor touched his beard and said, "I have long heard that the nobles in the capital respect the rules, and the travel must be huge, so it is really true." ”

Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao glanced at each other and responded with an embarrassed smile.

After a while, the carriages were still stuck there, and many servants went back and forth, removing the furniture from the carriages.

"What's on the other side of our shop?" A thought flashed through Cheng Qingwan's mind, and she immediately turned her head and asked.

"There's a restaurant on the other side, but there's an empty house diagonally across the street."

"Looks like he should have moved here."

Cheng Qingwan rubbed her brows, and was about to tell the doctor that when they walked over, people not far away seemed to see them, and turned their heads to say a few words to the servant.

After a while, the carriage that was blocking the front suddenly moved away.

Cheng Qingwan blinked, not ambiguous at all, and immediately drove to her backyard.

Invited Dr. Wu in, Cheng Hua'er happened to be cleaning up the table.

"A-Niang, I invited the doctor, you sit over there, let's take the pulse first." Cheng Qingwan took the rag from the woman's hand and led the person to another clean table.

Cheng Hua'er nodded, Aunt Liu said hello when she came back, so she wasn't surprised now.

Dr. Wu took the pulse, asked a few more questions, and then said: "Madam, your illness can only be recuperated, not work, and your emotions should not fluctuate. ”

"I made a note of it." Cheng Hua'er nodded with a smile and said.

"I've also read your prescription, there's no problem, just follow this and take it." Doctor Wu packed up his things, turned his head to Cheng Qingwan and said, "Girl, please come with me." ”

Cheng Qingwan walked out with a confused face, looked at the doctor's heavy face, and hurriedly asked, "Doctor Wu, how is my aunt's illness?" ”

"Your aunt's illness, I'm afraid I'll have to take medicine for the rest of my life. I also read the prescription just now, and it is excellent for your aunt. But if you take that medicine for a year, it will cost 100 taels of silver. ”

Cheng Qingwan blinked, then immediately reacted and said with a smile: "No matter what, the disease still has to be cured." ”

Doctor Wu sighed lightly, looked at the person in front of him with distressed eyes and said, "Why are you so troubled, you are such a small shop, how can you afford such an expensive medicine money." ”
