While thinking about it, Zhen Shiniang had brought Brother Wu and Brother Wen into the house without realizing it.

"Where are you, Miss?" Magpie, who was sweating profusely, was about to go out. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly came up to greet them, "My servant is going to find you."

"Why did you come back so quickly today?" Zhen Shiniang's eyes lit up when she saw the magpie, "How much did you sell the donkey-hide gelatin and get all the money back?"

Magpie looked happy, "They're all sold out. Shopkeeper Li said there wasn't enough to sell, and asked the lady if she could hold on to more?" He took out a piece of broken silver and a few strings of copper coins and handed them over, "Miss's donkey-hide gelatin sold for a total of twenty.

"Twenty-six cents of silver, my servant has grabbed three more decoctions for you, collected five donkey skins, ten catties of rice wine, ten catties of rock sugar, five catties of sesame oil..." He counted with his fingers, "It cost a total of sixteen taels."

Eight cents, there are still three to two cents left, they are all here..."

The decoction was eaten by Zhen Shiniang, and the donkey-skin rice wine and other ingredients were used to make donkey-hide gelatin.

Since being sent here, Zhen Shiniang has not received a cent of the Shen family's money. Two years ago, she pawned her last dowry, and her life began to be stretched. Not to mention the fact that she has been taking medicine for many years, just these five

It was a problem for the six people to eat. Seeing that the two acres of lotus pond in the Shen family's old house were not enough to make ends meet, Zhen Shiniang remembered the industry in her previous life. Fortunately, she occasionally boiled some donkey-hide gelatin for her own use due to her own needs, so she cooked it for a day

Take the pot of donkey-hide gelatin to the town for trial sale.

It is conceivable that she comes from a female family and is unknown, so who would believe that she can cook donkey-hide gelatin?

At first, all the major drug stores refused to sell donkey-hide gelatin for her. It happened that one day, she was begging Li Qi, the shopkeeper, to help her sell donkey-hide gelatin at Ruixiang Pharmacy. When the doctor Feng Xi mistakenly diagnosed a case of typhoid fever as a fever syndrome, the patient came to her door.

Come.

At that time, Feng Xi diagnosed the patient with red eyes, dry mouth, and rapid pulse, which were all typical symptoms of heat syndrome. He prescribed Chengqi Decoction without much thought. Unexpectedly, the patient's condition suddenly worsened after taking the medicine, and he was brought to the door by his family members who were dying.

Come, more and more people gather around the entrance of the medicine hall, and they are about to smash the sign. Finally, Zhen Shiniang sees the cause of the disease:

Although frequent pulse is a syndrome of heat and slow pulse is a syndrome of cold, this is not absolute. Occasionally, the opposite pulse syndrome occurs. That patient is a typical patient with excessive yin and blocking the yang. In layman's terms, it means that the yin energy in his body is too strong.

The weak yang energy was squeezed out to the outside. It looked like she had a flushed face and a dry mouth. She looked like she was having a severe fever, but it was actually evidence of severe cold. She immediately and decisively took some hot medicines such as dried ginger and aconite.

.

Sure enough, the patient broke out in a sweat, and within a few days he felt better.

After helping Ruixiang Pharmacy, shopkeeper Li Qi was grateful and agreed to let her put the donkey-hide gelatin in Xiangrui Pharmacy, and he would help sell it for a trial.

At first, it would take several months to cook a pot of donkey-hide gelatin. Fortunately, Li Qi also believed in her medical skills. Occasionally, when Feng Xi had something to do or had a difficult and complicated disease that could not be solved, he would ask her for help to earn some money.

Life.

Unexpectedly, over time, she actually became famous. Now a pot of donkey-hide gelatin is sold out in less than half a month. Just like this pot, she remembers that it was only delivered five or six days ago because it was time to harvest lotus roots.

, she needed to hire short-term workers and use money, so she asked Magpie to go to Xiangrui Drug Store to see Li Qi early in the morning to see if she could get some money back first.

Unexpectedly, they are all sold out!

"...It seems that everyone in Wutong Town recognizes my donkey-hide gelatin." After receiving the money, Zhen Shiniang was in a very good mood.

After this first kick, one day, she will have her own little medicine hall.

"Not only do you agree, I heard from Brother Li that the lady's batch of donkey-hide gelatin was robbed." Magpie laughed, "Brother Li also kept saying that if you don't go, he will come to see you in person.

I want to discuss with you whether we can boil more donkey-hide gelatin?"

Zhen Shiniang sighed, "...Who wouldn't want to make money if they have it? How can I keep an eye on it with my body and bones?" It was already too much for her to make two pots a month, so she couldn't be greedy anymore.

The magpie's expression darkened instantly.

She also didn't expect that her young lady's body would be in such ruined condition from now on.

"...I've saved seventeen or eighty percent." Zhen Shiniang took out a small jar from the lower part of the four-drawer cabinet that had turned white. She poured out the silver coins inside and counted them. Together with the ones Magpie had just brought back, she added

Putting it back, she said, "The lotus roots are growing well this year. I can harvest three to four thousand catties no matter what... I can finally have a good year!" She looked at the magpie with a smile, "After selling the lotus roots, I will buy new clothes for everyone this year."

.”

Think about it, they haven't worn new clothes in two or three years.

Magpie felt sour in her heart. Growing up, how had her young lady ever suffered like this? In the past, even she, a personal maid, didn't take this mere seventeen taels of silver seriously, but now she had to count every penny!

"Great, great!" She didn't notice that Magpie looked wrong. When she heard that she had new clothes to wear, Qiu Ju jumped up first, "I want the rose red that Erya is wearing!"

Erya is the second daughter of Yu Liang's family who went to the alley. These days, she wears a brand new rose red cross-collar cotton shirt, which was made by her eldest sister when she got married. Qiu Ju drooled when she looked at it.

"Okay, okay..." Zhen Shiniang smiled slightly, "I'll let you choose by yourself when the time comes."

"Let's just say that Miss is the best person in the world!" Qiu Ju's eyes were a little hot. She thought of something and suddenly turned around, "By the way, Aunt Magpie, what's going on with the Luoguo world in this town?"

She could hear the loud gongs and drums outside all morning. If she wasn't looking after Jian Wu and Jian Wen, she would have gone out to watch the excitement.

"Oh..." The magpie uttered an ooh, his eyes fell on the clepsydra, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's already noon when I'm here to talk." He raised his head and told Qiu Ju, "Go and soak those donkey skins first.

I’ll clean up and make lunch.”

"Hey..." Qiu Ju had long forgotten what she had just asked, so she responded and walked out happily.

Magpie looked at Zhen Shiniang again, "I bought half a catty of pork. Let's make steamed pork for lunch today. The one made by Miss last time was so delicious that Brother Wen and Brother Wu didn't even eat enough."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhen Shiniang sat down on the chair and looked at the magpie calmly.
