Flowing fire in July, Weiyang in August, and clothing in September.

In September, the weather is getting cooler, the leaves on the trees are turning yellow, and the pedestrians on the streets are wearing autumn clothes.

Only Xu Ling was still wearing a thin summer coat.

Without him, summer clothes are cheaper than autumn clothes.

He sniffled, feeling the dryness and coolness of the September air, and felt that this was a good time to sell autumn pear paste.

So he walked along the street, holding a bamboo pole, cleared his throat and shouted: "Ancestral secret recipe, secret that the palace does not pass on, does your child cough in autumn?" Dry throat? Come and try Chuanbei cough ointment, moisten the lungs and relieve asthma, quench thirst, the elderly, pregnant women and children can eat it! ”

"No effect package refund!"

Xu Ling shouted over and over again, I have to say that it is still a bit lethal to change the advertising words in the previous life in this era, especially such a straightforward and exaggerated propaganda.

As long as Xu Ling shouted and didn't blush, there were always people who rushed to the doctor to talk to him.

Xu Ling didn't know what the alley he walked into was, he shouted to himself, thinking that he couldn't sell it today, so he went to try his luck near Lingbao Temple. Autumn pear paste will not be broken, and it can be left in the space for a long time.

The vermilion painted wooden door suddenly opened behind him, and someone poked his head out, looked and looked, and stopped Xu Lingdao: "Hey, what are you selling?" ”

Xu Ling turned around and saw a man who was not much older than him.

Immediately said with a smile: "Guest, I sell ancestral secret recipes, which are specialized in treating children's cough, moistening the lungs and relieving asthma, and there is no burden on the body." ”

"What is it? Can the elderly use it? ”

There was a look of sadness on the man's face.

Xu Ling walked over, opened the cork at the mouth of the jar, and asked him to see, "Chuanbei cough cream, you can try it, it doesn't have any effect and doesn't cost money." ”

The man was a little skeptical, "Really? ”

Xu Ling slapped his chest with a bang, "No effect, no money!" ”

The man opened the wooden door suspiciously, "Then come in." ”

Xu Ling followed him into the courtyard, the small courtyard was boxy, clean and tidy, on the left hand side was a vegetable garden, with a few chickens in circles, and on the right hand side was a well and a place to stack firewood.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of Chinese medicine, and then looked at the residue of medicine by the well.

Enlightenment in my heart.

Following the man into the hall, a bamboo curtain on the left hand side was lifted, and the smell of Chinese medicine became more obvious.

At the same time, Xu Ling also heard bursts of coughing sounds.

"Ahem... cough cough cough ...... "An old woman with gray hair was lying on the bed, her face was full of furrows, she was lying on the side of the bed and coughing heartbreakingly, trying to cough up the phlegm, but it was also illegal for her to cough up blood.

A woman slapped her on the back, muttering something in her mouth, and when she saw the man leading Xu Ling in, she hurriedly asked the woman to bring a bowl.

Xu Ling glanced at the house, the doors and windows were closed, there was still a charcoal fire, and the air was turbid.

"Is the old lady sick?"

"Yes, since the beginning of autumn, I suddenly had a cold, and I asked the doctor to watch it for several days, but the cough has not improved."

"The weather is dry in autumn, and lung disease is even more difficult to get better," Xu Ling didn't know much medicine at all, and what he said was only a point of experience, and when the woman brought the bowl, he scooped two spoonfuls of autumn pear paste from the jar and poured it in, stirred it with warm water, and handed it to the man, "Let her drink it and try it." ”

In fact, Xu Ling was also a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that this thing would not work.

But a dead horse is just a live horse doctor.

The man sat at the head of the bed, and the woman hurriedly went up to help.

"Mother, you open your mouth."

The old woman groaned uncomfortably, the sound was as rough as sandpaper, and she obediently drank the sugar water that her son had fed her.

Coughing incessantly during the process.

The room really smelled bad, Xu Ling turned around, opened the small window behind him, and a fresh air poured in.

"Ahem, ahem...... Spittoon ......"

The old woman coughed and spat out, and her voice suddenly became clear, as if the frosted window had been opened.

"Huh? I can cough it out! The old woman was excited, she felt that her chest that had been suffering for a long time seemed to be lightened all of a sudden, and it was cool and cool, which was not her illusion, because Xu Ling also added some mint to the autumn pear paste.

Xu Ling looked back and smiled: "Guest, your mother's illness is the wind chill caused by the sudden change of temperature in the season, although it can't withstand the wind, it is best to open the window to ventilate for an hour at the hottest time every day, and then supplement it with my Chuanbei cough cream for ten days and half a month, this disease is estimated to be cured." ”

When the man saw that the autumn pear paste was really useful, he was overjoyed, and said a few "good" words in a row, "Then I'll buy a can and try it, how much does it cost?" ”

"This can is about a catty, and the price is 480 yuan, if you buy two cans, I will give you a cheaper, 900 yuan for two cans."

"How much? It's going to cost a tael of silver! The woman was dissatisfied, "Your mother is sick and has emptied our family!" You also said that you will send eggs to study next year! She began to cry.

Xu Ling felt that he was involved in other people's family chores, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

The man was also a little embarrassed, pulled the woman to sit aside, and scolded: "If you don't have my mother weaving and making clothes at home all day long, where will you get the money to send eggs to study!?" ”

"Then she has spent all this money, isn't this illness about to be cured?" The woman thought to herself, anyway, the mother-in-law doesn't cough anymore, so why spend any more money on it!

Xu Ling shook his head helplessly on the side and said: "If this medicine works so well, I will change my name to Xu Banxian, but it will take effect for a while, if I don't drink it for ten days and half a month to moisten my lungs and relieve asthma, I am afraid that the cough will not stop." ”

Seeing that the woman still couldn't understand the importance, he persuaded bitterly: "I see that your family has a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and it is only in September that you are burning a charcoal fire, buying medicine and firewood, and delaying your mother-in-law's weaving time, don't you need money?" If she can recover sooner, won't you be able to worry about it? ”

The woman was still sitting at the foot of the bed crying, and the old woman closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, but the man was persuaded, and went to get the money and bought two jars of autumn pear paste.

Xu Ling explained some more matters, and left from this house.

Continue to walk the streets and alleys, shouting and buying.

After a while, someone stopped him.

Only this time, it was the boy in the family who got sick

The child's grandparents and parents all stayed in front of the bed, anxiously asking Xu Ling over and over again, until a bowl of sugar water went down, the child's cough was not so bad, and his eyebrows and eyes were soothed, and they were relieved.

Even when I heard that a can of autumn pear paste cost 480 yuan, I didn't feel any distress, and directly asked for two cans.

Next, Xu Ling walked into one house after another.

Some people are too expensive to pay for it, and when they see that it is useful to drink free of charge, they drive him away.

Someone who has no one sick at home finds that this thing is as sweet as candy and has the effect of moisturizing the lungs, so they simply pay for it and buy it.

It's just that there are so many people, and the stark contrast between the old and the young makes Xu Ling feel a little emotional.

Why does the world favor children, but there are many dislikes and considerations for hard-working elders?
