Chapter 75
Man Bao also took the opportunity to promote himself, "I can also recognize many other medicines."
"Oh, what other medicine do you recognize?"
Man Bao jumped off the chair, ran out and brought a dirty yam in to show him, "Look!"
The shopkeeper looked at the long yam in surprise, then looked at Man Bao and asked, "Did you dig this?"
"No, it was my eldest brother and the others who dug it!"
What are you proud of?
The shopkeeper said: "Do you know the yam?"
Man Bao said: "I recognize it."
There were many beautiful pictures in the medicine book that Manbao read recently, and she wrote them all down one by one. Then she counted them with her fingers and the shopkeeper said, "I have seen astragalus, licorice, and I also know ginseng, but I
My favorite is red dates.”
The shopkeeper simply started chatting with her and asked: "Why?"
"Because the book said that red dates are sweet and crisp, and I like to eat sweet fruits."
"Do you have any medicine books at home?"
"My family doesn't have it, but my classmate's family has it," Man Bao said, "My classmate's family has a lot of books."
The shopkeeper's attitude became more serious, "My lady is studying? I don't know which gentleman she is studying with."
"My teacher's surname is Zhuang, and he is amazing."
The shopkeeper found this little girl a bit interesting. She seemed to think that everyone around her was great, including herself.
Her husband is very powerful because he knows a lot; her classmates are very powerful because they have read more books than she does and there are many books at home; her mother is very powerful, her sister-in-law is very powerful, and her brothers are also very powerful, even her
The nieces and nephews who only dare to look at the door are very powerful in her mouth, because they always do things she can't do.
The shopkeeper feels that she is very powerful for being able to realize this.
Of course, she also thinks she is great because she is very smart!
Man Bao is a very talkative child. She took the initiative to tell everything about her family without even asking the shopkeeper.
Of course, she didn't accept strangers, so she asked a lot of questions during the conversation. The shopkeeper had a great time chatting with her, and they told you all about the situation at home. If you ask, they will answer.
Ten sentences. If someone asks you a question, you should at least answer it, right?
So Man Bao found out that the shopkeeper's surname was Zheng, and he was also a doctor. He was the only two doctor in the Jishi Hall in Luojiang County, except for the doctor Qin who was sitting in the hall.
Although he also treats patients, he does more work such as retrieving medicines, purchasing medicinal materials, and keeping accounts. In his words, he is in charge of this store, so what he does is management work.
Dr. Zheng's family is here. He has been here for three or four years and is familiar with the herb collectors in this area.
Man Bao would ask curiously, "What is a herb collector?"
"They are people who make a living by collecting medicines. However, there are not many families like this in Luojiang County, only two, so most of the medicinal materials are brought from other places." Since Dr. Zheng is willing to accept medicines from the Zhou family, he is naturally not afraid.
Tell them, "The medicinal materials in our area include aroids, trichosanthes, gallnuts, Pediculus, Akebia, Milla sinensis, Uncaria, Ophiopogon japonicus, aster, kudzu, etc. Most of the people who collect these medicinal materials know them. Not only do they know
, they can also prepare it, and the medicinal materials sent to our pharmacy are basically already prepared."
He smiled and said: "For people like yours who only send one or two medicinal materials at a time, you can't even be called a herb collector. But because the ones you send are all commonly used, we accept them too."
Man Bao was surprised, "Then they can make a lot of money?"
Doctor Zheng shook his head and said: "How much money can people make as medicine collectors? They have no land, so they have to sell medicines for food, clothing and housing. There are many snakes and insects in the mountains and forests. How can it be so easy to collect medicines? It's still the days when you were farming.
Better."
"Why don't they have land?" Man Bao said: "Everyone in our village has land. The village chief said that if the land at home is not enough, just open up wasteland and manage enough."
Doctor Zheng: "..."
He hesitated and said, "Maybe it's because you don't know how to farm?"
"Why don't you just learn," Man Bao said, "We didn't know medicinal materials before, but now we know them, and we will know more in the future."
Doctor Zheng took the opportunity to ask, "Will your family still sell medicinal materials in the future?"
"I sell them whenever I see them," Man Bao also took the opportunity to ask him, "Does your pharmacy still accept them? Does it accept all medicines?"
Dr. Zheng said that as long as it was medicine, he would buy it if it was delivered to him.
Man Bao was happy and asked him, "Do you have any medicine books? There are many medicine books at my classmate's house, and many of the medicines are poorly drawn. I couldn't recognize them after reading them for a long time. If you have a better one here, lend it to me."
, if I encounter medicinal materials next time, I will be able to recognize it."
Doctor Zheng looked at Man Bao's little face. After a moment of silence, he went back to the backyard and found a book for her. "After reading it, bring it back to me. Don't damage it."
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang, who were sweating profusely just after calculating the two sums of money, turned around and saw their Yaomei taking a book from the shopkeeper's hand.
Brothers: "..."
Man Bao happily took it, and carefully wrapped the book in oil paper, and then gave him the yam they dug, "Uncle shopkeeper, you can take it back and stew it. The yam and chicken can be stewed to nourish the spleen and qi."
, particularly good.”
Doctor Zheng's eyebrows twitched and he asked with a smile, "Do you even know this?"
Man Bao was proud: "Of course, yam can also be made into yam cake."
Of course, this is what Keke just told her, because when she takes someone else's book, she always gives something as a gift in return.
Keke said yam is very good.
Dr. Zheng didn't ask for her yam in vain. He still weighed it and bought it from her. He also said: "Next time you dig up yam, don't bring it raw. Cut it into slices and dry it and bring it to the medicine store. I will still pay twenty
You can collect it for a pound, and you can also take it to the market to sell raw food, and some wealthy families who are particular about it will buy it back to make medicinal meals."
Man Bao was unwilling to ask for his money and insisted on treating him to food.
Dr. Zheng thought about it and refused, but he didn't want all of them. He only left two sticks and said, "You can take the rest back."
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang glanced at the book in Yaomei's hand and bowed to say goodbye to Dr. Zheng.
Doctor Zheng smiled and waved, "Don't damage my book, remember to return it to me."
Manbao patted his chest in agreement, climbed onto the trolley with the book in his arms, and said to his eldest and second brother, "We have to buy chickens."
Knowing that Yaomei wanted to eat chicken again, Zhou Dalang thought of his mother and couldn't help but said: "Man Bao, our family has already eaten four chickens. My mother said that if we buy more chickens, she will drive me and your second brother away."
Go out, there is no such waste of money."
"Okay, then we won't buy chicken, we will buy mutton!"
Zhou Dalang continued to persuade, and Man Bao reached out to him, "Brother, give me the money we earn, and we will take it ourselves."
Zhou Dalang immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Zhou Zuorang coaxed her, "Manbao, it's not safe for you to carry so much money. It's better for the eldest brother and the second brother to hold it for you."
"Then you give me fifty cents to buy meat, or I will cry."
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang were in a dilemma. Manbao rarely cried, but they were very afraid of her crying, because the child would easily get out of breath when she cried, and would vomit if she cried hard. She might be okay in the end.
