Chapter 6 Goodbye
Magpie was pregnant and it was difficult to travel around. The task of delivering medicine and collecting debts fell on Zhen Shiniang. Since brewing donkey-hide gelatin was time-consuming and laborious, in order to raise Jian Wu Jian Wen's tuition and the cost of opening a medicine hall as soon as possible, Zhen Shiniang simply decided to
He spent all the money he had saved to buy medicinal materials and refined a batch of pills.
"...This is called Wuji Baifeng Pill." On this day, Zhen Shiniang took the newly made pills to Ruixiang Pharmacy. "It is made from black chicken, deer antler glue, turtle shell, ginseng, astragalus, etc. It can
It can nourish qi and blood, regulate menstruation and stop vaginal bleeding. It can be used for deficiency of qi and blood, thin body, soreness and weakness of waist and knees..." He opened a pill and patiently explained its efficacy to the doctor Feng Xi and the shopkeeper Li Qi.
, and finally said, "...These pills are rare in Dazhou, and there is no problem with their efficacy. Brother Li, help me sell them and give them a try."
Pills are no longer common in modern times, and have even been replaced by Western medicine. However, in Zhou Dynasty, when medical technology was backward, most diseases were treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Except for the Royal Imperial Hospital, few people could make pills. Ordinary medicine halls
They don't sell these either. Firstly, they have nowhere to purchase them, and secondly, ordinary people can't afford them. Although she knows these rules, Zhen Shiniang can't do anything about them.
Her body was weak, so it was impossible for her to go to the mountains to collect herbs, concoct them and sell them. She couldn't bear to even come on time to serve as a doctor, so she had no choice but to try her luck by making pills.
bolus!
Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Miss Jian actually knows how to make pills?" The place darkened again, "Although this thing is good, you know, how can there be any rich people in our small town?"
Even if there is, he will go to the capital to find the imperial doctor to show him where to get the medicine. He shook his head, "Miss Jian...it's not that I don't believe in Miss Jian's craftsmanship..." He shook his head again, "I'm afraid I can't sell it."
"It doesn't matter..." Zhen Shiniang said with a smile, "This pill is valid for more than a year. It costs thirty cents a pill. Brother Li, please put it on the counter for me to try. If you really can't sell it, just return it to me."
He also promised, "Don't worry, I will never let you take a penny."
"Thirty cents?" Shopkeeper Li opened his eyes wide, "Is it so cheap?" In the spring, he went to Tai Hospital, and the pills there cost at least fifty cents a pill.
"They are all secret recipes left by my father, and I made them myself..." Zhen Shiniang nodded, and seeing shopkeeper Li's eyes showing doubts, she added, "shopkeeper Li, don't worry, these are all the best, a fake one makes up for ten..."
"Sighed, "To be honest, I just want to protect my capital with thirty cents... My child will go to private school next year, so there is a lot of money to use."
Hearing this faint sigh, Shopkeeper Li's heart suddenly softened, "...I'll put it on the cabinet for you to try. Whether it sells or not depends on Miss Jian's luck." The topic changed, "Miss Jian's donkey-hide gelatin."
The sales are very good, why don't you make more donkey-hide gelatin..." Thinking of her superb medical skills, he pointed to the open space next to Feng Xi, "If you wish, I will take a seat there, and you will come to the clinic every day from now on.
." Thinking that if she was really willing to come and sit in court, this place would definitely be bustling with people, "... all the medical expenses will be yours, I only earn money from selling medicine." Then he looked at Feng Xi, "Don't compare with them, they are orphans and widowed mothers.
It's easy, we all live in the same town, so we can help if we can."
As a rule in Wutong Town, the doctor's treatment fee is usually 37 cents, with the doctor getting 7 cents and the medicine hall getting 3 cents.
"Where, where..." Feng Xi shook his head repeatedly, "It's not easy for Miss Jian to be a woman with two children. If you really charge her for sitting in court, I will still look down on you." Since she helped him two years ago,
Surrounded by Zhen Shiniang, Feng Xi was convinced from the bottom of his heart.
This medicine hall is not big, and there are really two doctors in it. With her skills, Feng Xi will have to drink northwest wind in less than half a month. After hearing this, Zhen Shiniang smiled and said, "Thank you, Li
Big brother." She changed the topic, "You know I have a weak body. It takes at least half a month to recover after boiling donkey-hide gelatin. How can I still sit in the hall?"
Looking at Zhen Shiniang's body that collapsed when the wind blew, Shopkeeper Li and Feng Xi both shook their heads:
It’s really fatal for a poor person to have a rich body!
"Cough, cough..." Feng Xi coughed twice unnaturally, "...It doesn't matter if Miss Jian can't sit in the hall. When I meet a big customer one day, I will definitely recommend you. If Miss Jian can come to the house to serve those in the house, I will definitely recommend you."
Madams and ladies, the reward alone for seeing a doctor is more than what we can earn by sitting in the hall for a month!"
Feng Xi's words were not meant to frame people. Those ladies and ladies in the house had some unspeakable gynecological diseases, which were indeed not suitable for male doctors like them to see. More importantly, Feng Xi wanted to find a good family for Zhen Shiniang.
, although she is dressed crudely, but from a closer look, Zhen Shiniang can be regarded as a rare beauty. Once she is attracted by the master of a wealthy family, even if she is a concubine, she will be better than her current hard work.
Once they finally get a chance to continue their relationship, mother and son will be able to fly high.
Last year, Feng Xi had introduced her to see a doctor from a lady from the imperial family. The lady would reward her with ten taels of silver. She knew that such a thing was rare. After hearing this, she didn’t know if Feng Xi still had any
With this thought, Zhen Shiniang nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Feng."
Just as he was talking, he heard the door of the medicine hall being pushed open with a bang, and a clear voice asked, "...Shopkeeper, is there any abbreviation for donkey-hide gelatin?"
Hearing that someone was looking for the medicine she had brewed, Zhen Shiniang raised her head with confidence and took a deep breath:
The person who spoke was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, which was nothing surprising. What shocked Zhen Shiniang was the heroic man behind him.
She had also met famous celebrities in her previous life, but it was not until this moment that she truly understood what it means to be the best in the past and present. He had black hair, clear facial features, thin and moist lips, long and narrow eyes, and his eyes were as clear as the deep night sky.
A touch of starlight in the sky makes people fall into it involuntarily at just one glance.
Beautiful things are always pleasing to the eye, not to mention this man is cold and cool, exactly the type she likes, and Zhen Shiniang was stunned without realizing it.
Feeling that someone was watching, the man looked back sideways.
When their eyes met, Zhen Shiniang's heart skipped a beat. She quickly lowered her head. The man's eyes were shocked, and he frowned thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes, yes, the abbreviated donkey-hide gelatin is the exclusive operation of the shop!" Although the man's expression was indifferent, Li Qi, who had seen countless people, could tell at a glance that this man had an extraordinary aura, and hurriedly turned aside Zhen Shiniang and nodded to greet him.
Go up.
"First grab ten pounds..." the boy said.
"This..." Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a while, and he looked at the man behind the waiter, "It's unfortunate that the guest came. Jian Ji sold out all the donkey-hide gelatin a few days ago. If the guest wanted to buy it, he had to wait until next month.
"
"Next month?" Thinking that he was deliberately trying to shirk the blame, the boy raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm only twenty today, why did I send it to next month?" Seeing that Li Qi was about to speak, he added, "Don't make a mistake.
You have an idea, do you know who our uncle is?" He turned back and pointed at the man behind him, "Our uncle is the auxiliary general who just fought a victorious battle and returned to the court!"
His voice paused slightly and he stared at Li Qi, "If you use your donkey-hide gelatin well, you will be rewarded!"
