Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 74 Inquiry

  You have to pay the city fee to enter the city, and now you have to pay a penny to enter the city. Of course, children like big heads don’t need money.

  But Zhou Dalang still feels painful.

  He took out the money, because he spent a lot of money when he first entered the city, he was very worried, so he didn't go anywhere, and went straight to the pharmacy with the cart.

  There is only one drug store in the county seat, which is Jishitang.

  The guy saw Zhou Dalang coming, and he said: "You are here to sell medicine, wait a minute, our shopkeeper will come in a while."

  Zhou Dalang came here twice, once with a fresh privet to ask for the price, and once with a dried privet to ask if the preparation was done correctly, so the guy remembered him.

  The shopkeeper came out very quickly. Tue Lang was afraid that too many people would annoy the drugstore, so he asked Goro to wait outside with the children. Only Man Bao curiously followed Tue Lang to watch the excitement.

  Zhou Dalang and Tue Lang glanced at Yaomei, did not say anything, and brought the person to the front so that they would not be lost.

  These ligustrums were dried after going through hot water, and they were being packed in fine cloth bags.

  Zhou Dalang opened the bag to the shopkeeper.

  The shopkeeper put it in the palm of his hand to see the color, took another one, and nodded slightly: “It’s okay to dry it. It’s better to take a while longer when you pass the water next time.”

  He turned the bottom and found that the color was similar, so he nodded and said: "Okay, let's weigh it up, we'll accept it all."

  The man immediately brought the weighing, and after the weighing, he said: "A total of twelve and a half catties."

The shopkeeper said: "You are in good condition. I will share with you fifty wen and a catty, totaling 625 wen. There will be livets in the future and they will be sent to me. As long as the quality is good, we will accept them. ."

  Man Bao asked curiously, "Brother shopkeeper, can so many privet medicine shops sell it?"

The shopkeeper lowered his head and found that there was a little girl at the feet of the two brothers. Hearing her name, he pulled his mouth and said: "Our Jishitang medicine shops are all over the world. Of course, this little girl can eat it. It’s okay to be hundreds or thousands of times more. Little girl, you should call me uncle."

   Zhou Dalang wiped the sweat on his forehead and apologized again and again, saying: "My sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive me from the shopkeeper."

  The shopkeeper then glanced at Man Bao again, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be your sister, that's no wonder."

  He seems to be about the same age as Zhou Dalang. No wonder this little girl calls him elder brother instead of uncle.

  The shopkeeper's laughter shook his head, but he didn't mind.

  Man Bao was still enthusiastic, and he didn't mind changing his words: "Uncle shopkeeper, if my family grows many privet, can your family buy it at this price?"

  The shopkeeper originally asked the guys to take money for them, and was about to turn around and leave. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "Why, do you want to grow medicinal materials?"

  Man Baodao: "I want to plant."

  The shopkeeper said: "This is not easy. This kind of medicinal materials are prone to pests, and there may be droughts and floods. What kind of medicinal materials are your family planning to grow?"

  Man Bao asked him first, "What kind of medicinal materials do you think is suitable for growing in our place?"

  The shopkeeper looked down at this little boy, and after a pause, he smiled and said, "I think we have more medicinal materials suitable for planting here. The key is that you can plant them?"

   "I can't learn it."

  Seeing that she was like a little adult, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but smile and said, “As long as you can grow it, the medicinal materials will not be unsellable, because people will get sick. If you get sick, you have to take medicine.”

  Man Bao understood, and turned around and dragged her second brother to help her carry their Centella asiatica in.

  The shopkeeper stopped walking curiously when they saw two big sacks pulled in by them.

   "Uncle shopkeeper, this is the Centella asiatica we suned. Do you want your drugstore?"

  The shopkeeper bent over and felt it, and found that the sun was quite dry, so he nodded and said: “Yes, this thing is a good thing to cool off in summer. Twenty wen per catty, let’s weigh it.”

  Don’t look at this thing as there are two big sacks. In fact, they are not heavy at all. The two big sacks together are only thirty-five catties.

  The Goro, who was so excited at the door, were shocked. It was obvious that they had pulled so much, why is it so light?

  They were all a little lost, but they were shocked again when they saw that the guy gave them seven strings of money.

  It seems that making this money is a bit easier.

  Zhou Dalang was also a little surprised to see that several children earn more than them.

  The shopkeeper said: "Next time, don’t send Centella asiatica. This stuff is everywhere. There is no need for external adjustment. These are almost enough for our drugstore in summer."

Man Bao rolled his eyes and said, "It's definitely not enough. It's so long in summer. You have to make medicinal soup every day. You have to make at least one handful a day. Even if one catty is one catty, this thirty-five catty is only enough for thirty-five catties. It's only five days."

The shopkeeper saw that she was so clear at her young age. He couldn't help laughing and touching her little head, saying, "We are a small county town, we don’t need a catty of Centella asiatica a day. You want to kill everyone, this A little is enough, and I won’t accept it if you send it again."

  Man Bao was very sorry, but she didn't expect Centella asiatica to be sold with a hammer. She sighed like an adult.

  The shopkeeper thinks this kid is very interesting, mainly because the people who gather the herbs in this area know that Zhou Dalang and Tue Lang are farming at first sight, not the people who gather the medicine.

  He was very curious that they could know Ligustrum.

  Many flowers and plants in the countryside can be used as medicine, and even many elderly people know how to use these flowers and plants, such as Centella asiatica. Many people in the countryside will use Centella asiatica to stop bleeding after falls, cuts and bleeding.

  But they didn’t know that Centella Asiatica had other effects, and they never thought that Centella asiatica was also a medicinal material in the drugstore, let alone sold it in the drugstore after it was dried.

  If Centella asiatica can be used as medicine just by drying it, then many other medicinal materials need special processing before they can be preserved as medicine. That is the knowledge that doctors and herbalists understand.

  Most people in the world only like to do what they are good at, and always avoid what they are not good at.

  This is to avoid risks, it is human instinct.

  If a person suddenly enters a field he is not familiar with, then he must be dependent on something. And the other party is still an honest person, the dependence will only be greater.

  The shopkeeper wondered if they had medical books in their hands.

He also inquired with Zhou Dalang, but Zhou Dalang was just a smirk, and he didn’t know if it was true or false. Taking advantage of the buddies to check them out, the shopkeeper simply took Man Bao’s little hand and sat aside and asked her, "Your family Who did you learn to make Ligustrum?"

  Man Bao: "Hey, didn’t the shopkeeper uncle teach it?’

  The shopkeeper thought, as if he had mentioned something, he paused and asked: "Who recognizes Ligustrum as a medicinal material?"

  Man Bao immediately said proudly: "Me!"
