Chapter 223

Sesame oil is cool in nature, sweet in taste, has the effects of detoxifying and promoting granulation, reducing swelling and relieving pain.Can be used for scalds, burns, etc.

In addition, it also has the effects of protecting the throat, blood vessels, and beauty.

Of course, for such a good thing, the price is naturally 'very good'...

Therefore, when Qingzhu arrived at the grain and oil shop and said that he wanted to buy five catties of sesame oil, the fat boss of the grain and oil shop almost turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile on his face.

There are many inns and wine shops in Ping'an Town, but it doesn't mean that the grain and oil shop's business is very good.Because most of these places have their own purchase channels, which are much cheaper than getting oil, salt, rice, etc. directly from grain and oil shops.

Of course, there are also big households in Ping'an Town, but in this era, these people's homes all have farms in the countryside, and most of the food at home is something that is worthy of the Zhuangzi.

Therefore, what this grain and oil shop is actually doing is the business of ordinary residents in the town.

Sesame oil is expensive, and the money for two catties of vegetable oil can only buy one or two sesame oil.Although people in this town occasionally buy a few taels of sesame oil for durability on weekdays, they almost never buy one catty at a time.

Therefore, five catties of sesame oil can be regarded as big business.

In Taiping days, a catty of sesame oil was purchased for three hundred cash and sold for five hundred cash.Now that prices are soaring, although the sesame oil in the grain and oil shop is from previous years, the purchase price is cheaper than now, but as the saying goes, no business is not cheating, so the boss naturally buys it at the current price.

Now a catty of sesame oil costs two taels of silver.Five catties of sesame oil, you can get ten taels.After excluding the cost, the owner of the grain and oil store made a net profit of more than [-] taels, so he couldn't be laughing like a chrysanthemum.

After Qingzhu paid the money, the boss simply gave Qingzhu two jars containing three catties, filled them with sesame oil, and ordered the boy in his shop to pick them up, and helped Qingzhu to the inn.

Back at the inn, Qingzhu took two doses of internal medicine, asked the inn clerk to boil them for him, and asked him to add more water to boil them, after boiling them to cool down, they sent them to the injured donkey three times to drink.

I went to ask the shopkeeper, please borrow the kitchen cauldron.

What Qingzhu wanted was a roommate, so no matter whether it was the shopkeeper or the clerk in this inn, they were still very polite to Qingzhu, and they agreed to it easily.

The shopkeeper asked what Qingzhu wanted to do, and specially sent a cook to help her cook the oil.

After boiling the sesame oil, turn off the flame, and when the temperature of the oil drops to the point that the medicinal powder will not be fried, Qingzhu sprinkles the powder for external use that has been crushed before, and waits for the residual oil temperature to slowly refine the medicinal effect .

After more than an hour, the oil in the cauldron slowly cooled down, and at this time, the medicine also 'vomited' its effect, and turned into dregs and sank to the bottom of the pot.

Qingzhu divided the boiled five butter into two jars, covered them with clean boards, and sealed them with oilcloth after they were ready to cool naturally.In addition, half a bowl of medicated oil was filled and left to cool.I also asked Xiaoer to help me buy two brand new large brushes, wash them with cold water and dry them.Then he divided the medicinal oil into two bowls and put them in a square tray. He personally brought the medicinal oil and a brush to apply the medicine to the donkey.

Because Qingzhu had special requirements before, the two donkeys were in a separate stable with soft and clean hay on the ground. The donkeys were not tied with ropes, and the door of the stable was not locked.

As they got closer, they could smell a faint smell of medicine. It seemed that the two donkeys had already drunk the medicine once.

Qingzhu gently kicked the door open, but didn't go in, just stood at the door and looked at the two donkeys.

The two donkeys were resting in a half-recumbent position, when they saw the green bamboo coming, they stood up together, their expressions were quite friendly.

"Did you take the medicine? Do you feel better?" Although the donkeys couldn't speak, Qing Zhu subconsciously greeted them because they were human.

Sure enough, the two donkeys understood, and they bleated twice together.The voice doesn't have to be high as before, but it's much better than when he came back with Liu Qing and couldn't scream at all.

"Come on, come outside, I'll give you medicine." Qingzhu waved at the donkey, and walked to the spacious place with the bowl.

The two donkeys followed Qingzhu out and stood beside her.

"It may hurt a little, but I will try to be as light as possible, you stand a little apart." Qingzhu said again.

After the two donkeys stood a little apart, Qing Zhu dipped a brush in the medicinal oil, and began to brush the burnt part of one of the donkeys little by little.

Because the injury was too serious and there were too many burns, it took Qing Zhu a whole half an hour to apply medicine to one of the donkeys, and the medicine oil in the bowl had just been used up.

When it was the other donkey's turn, Qingzhu replaced the brush with a new brush, and spent another half an hour applying good medicine to the other donkey. By this time, it was already dark.

At this moment, Liu Qing also came to the stables in the backyard, looked at Qingzhu and said: "Master, I just went to the carriage dealer and rented three carriages, and the carriage dealer will come to pick us up at the door of the inn early tomorrow morning. "

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Qing Zhu rubbed her sore waist, nodded to Liu Qing, and said.

"It's nothing." Liu Qing shook his head, looked at the two donkeys with some hesitation, and said, "But... we really don't want to leave them in the inn, should we ask the inn to take care of them? They follow us, but they still have to run around For several days."

As soon as Liu Qing's words fell, the two donkeys became anxious and bleated again.

"Hush..." Qingzhu hissed at the donkey, then looked at Liu Qing and said, "I know what you mean, but the people in the inn are not our own people after all, we are still living in the inn, please help take care of us and Of course it’s okay to boil medicine. But if we leave, who knows if the people in the inn will be obedient and obedient, what if they are tired and suffer more? So, let them follow us, we will take care of them, You hired a carriage again, and you can’t go anywhere.”

"But, our itinerary..." Liu Qing still hesitated.

Qing Zhu waved his hand, looked at Liu Qing and said: "It's okay, let's go back and find out, if King Ning's army hasn't set off to go to the capital, that's all. If the army has already started to go to the capital, then we won't go around If the prince arrives, we will meet him by ourselves. If the prince has not arrived yet, we will walk in the direction of Shangjing to Yizhou. Most likely, we will meet him on the way. There will be some delay. What do you think?"

"fair enough."

Looking at Qingzhu's appearance, Liu Qing knew that Qingzhu would really not agree to foster two injured donkeys on the spot.

Anyway, she didn't really believe it, most people would value these two donkeys as much as Qingzhu. In any case, she and Qingzhu were able to escape, of course it was because Qiuyue arrived in time, but if they hadn't attacked Qiu Shaohong and others before, Whether they can wait until Qiuyue arrives is still unknown.

Therefore, she was not too resistant to Qingzhu's insistence on taking two 'cumbersome' donkeys on the road, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded in agreement.

 The fan broke... So, off to buy a new one. The words of QAQ for a few days can be regarded as white codes... [Sorrowful, distressed]
