Yo, grandpa is here

Chapter 25 The abacus beads burst into the face
The girls saw that they couldn't hide it, so they told the truth to the two of them.

In the past six months, the three medical clinics in the city have faced a shortage of medicinal materials.

The county guards a rare medicinal mountain like Langshan Mountain, but there are not many herbal collectors who identify medicinal herbs, and the successive years of war have caused the herbal collectors to cut off their inheritance.

All the herb collectors were arrested and sent to join the army. A few people recognized the medicinal herbs, but they were too scared to go up the mountain because of the wild beasts raging on the mountain.

"The Baicao Hall in the west of the city taught a few young gentlemen to recognize medicine a few years ago, and encouraged them to enter the mountain, but they were folded in the mountain. No matter how high the price was, no one dared to go there. If it was okay a few years ago, the county's If the medicinal materials cannot come in, you can still buy them from other counties, but the wars have been messed up in the past few years, the roads are cut off, and transportation is troublesome."

Chen Qingqing was stunned, no wonder the two clinics were so excited when they saw the herbs in their hands.

"I'd like to advise you, especially this little lady, it's easy to get a thousand gold treasures, but it's rare to have a lover. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about firewood. The business of medicinal materials is good, but after all, life is more important."

Chen Qingqing clasped her fists in salute.

"What the doctor said is very true. I think you are clear and open-minded, and you take life and death above wealth and honor. If it weren't for the two of us who fell in love with you, you would not have such heartfelt words."

Yu Buli lowered his eyes, Qingqing's ability to communicate with people is really high emotional intelligence, this girl is obviously cold-tempered, but when Qingqing talks about it, she becomes "clear and open-minded". Who can talk like this woman? refuse?
After being praised by Chen Qingqing, the girl's eyebrows softened a little. Although she still had that indifferent appearance, she was less alienated.

"If my husband and I were just ordinary people, I would definitely listen to your good advice, but my husband and son-in-law shoulder the glory of the rise and fall of the whole family. In this world, you also know that poverty is more terrible than death."

Chen Qingqing concealed her and Yu Buli's self-protection ability, and only explained the two people's standpoints. With big blame and little love, Chen Qingqing moved the girls.

"Since that's the case, I won't say any more about these kinds of herbs, what price will those two companies give you?"

"Coptis and Rehmanniae 2 tael 4, Pinellia 10 tael [-], Cimicifuga and Clematis [-] taels."

When Chen Qingqing quoted the prices of these medicinal materials, the girl sneered.

"Their abacus beads are all on my face. Coptis rehmanniae is nothing more than a common herb. As for the rest, hehe."

The girl's words were not clear, but Chen Qingqing could hear her voice.

"The doctor over there said that they are paid at the price of fresh herbs, and the price will be lower. To be honest, we also know that the price of the remaining few medicinal materials should not be this price, but every kind of medicinal herb is processed into medicinal materials. The methods are different, and my husband only knows a few, and fresh herbs cannot be sold at a high price."

Chen Qingqing and Yu Buli talked together on the road.

Although Yu Buli has a master's degree in agriculture, he is not a medical student after all. It is okay for him to recognize herbs, and he doesn't know much about processing herbs.

Not only them, but those professional herb pickers in the early years could not master all the processing methods of herbs.

The girls sat down and wrote quickly.

"The output of these kinds is not much. If you can find them, you can process them according to the method I wrote. The other herbs are just fine. For precious medicinal materials such as cohosh and clematis, they will charge you two taels of silver if they are processed. .”

Chen Qingqing was secretly surprised.

The ancient catty tael was different from her time. 16 taels was a catty. The prepared dried medicinal materials must be lighter than medicinal herbs, but the price increase from 10 taels to 2 taels of silver is a bit too heaven-defying.

Chen Qingqing was still thinking about the reason for this, but Yu Buli had already been rude to the girl: "I thank the doctor on behalf of the tribe and the people in the county."

It happened that someone came to fetch medicine, and it seemed that she was dressed as a maid from a wealthy family, and she fetched medicine for his wife. The girl prepared the medicine and received 2 taels of silver for the consultation.

When the maid left, the girl said in a calm voice with an indifferent expression:

"You don't need to praise me too much. As you can see, I'm just a vulgar person who accepts money but not fate. Raising the price of medicine is just to make more money for myself. Don't thank me. If you have nothing to do, go back."

"I still have a few concocted things to ask, my lady, you go to the donkey cart and wait for me."

Yu Buli sent Chen Qingqing away, and then said to the girl:

"How to take care of my wife's body, you only said half of it. Tell me while she's not here."

Yu Buli had already seen Chen Qingqing's values ​​from the matter of buying cloth. If she were to be present, she would definitely be reluctant to spend money to stop him.

"If you are not afraid of spending money, go back and ask her to take more medicated baths. Use cassia twigs, dried ginger, and aconite decocted in water to extract the juice and mix it into the bathtub. Take a bath while it is hot. After soaking this winter, her symptoms of cold hands and feet will improve next year. .”

After the girl finished speaking, she added, "Just don't do this, and it won't delay her childbirth."

Taking a medicinal bath is not easy for ordinary people.

Not to mention the cost of these medicinal materials, but not every family has a bathtub. Even if they did, it would be difficult to take a bath at home in winter.

It is better for large families to have heating conditions in winter.

In a village like Yujiagou, if you want to raise the temperature in the house to the point where you can take a bath in winter, the cost of firewood consumed is too high.

Chen Qingqing just has some minor occupational diseases. From the perspective of this era, it is not considered a disease if it does not delay the birth of a child.

"I said that I didn't marry her for the sake of my children. She is in good health, and it is worth it."

"You go to the carpenter in the east of the city. His wife and I are old acquaintances, and he will give you a cheaper price."

In order to express his gratitude, Yu Buli left all the scattered herbs he brought with the girl, and then left.

The girl watched him leave, picked up the pen and wanted to write the medical record again, but her hands shook again and again, but she didn't write half a word.

"Easy to get a thousand gold treasures, rare to have a loving man" the girl put down her pen, the brows were only lowered but the sadness came to her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it.

In the car, Chen Qingqing asked Yu Buli.

"Why did she tell us the recipe for concocting medicinal materials? She collected it at a low price and sold it at a high price, wouldn't she earn more?"

"Chosh cohosh and Clematis are both high-grade medicinal materials, which are very effective in treating coughs, but there are also cheap medicinal materials that can be substituted. Those who insist on using this medicinal material are rich and noble families. She knows that it is not easy for us to go up the mountain to collect herbs, so we can use them instead." After thinking about this way of robbing the rich and helping the poor, if I guess correctly, she doesn't use these two medicinal materials much."

Most of the medical clinics in the girls are there to see women's diseases. These two kinds of medicinal materials are not necessary, but the two medical clinics are different.

She saw that the two medical clinics wanted to deceive the couple, so she simply announced the method of concocting it, and did not give the other party a reason to lower the price.

Rich people don't care about spending more money, and poor people don't look down on diseases because of price-increasing medicinal materials. It's a good way to kill the rich and help the poor.

"I regret it. I should have asked her name just now. I feel that this is a person with a story."

After hearing this, Chen Qingqing felt that the girl was not simple, and wanted to make friends with her very much.

"There's still a chance next time."

Chen Qingqing nodded, and her eyes fell on the teahouse by the roadside, where the waiter was pouring tea for passers-by with a coarse porcelain teapot.

Looking at it, she burst out laughing.

Feeling puzzled, Yu Buli followed her gaze and was stunned for a moment, then his earlobes turned red.
