Chapter 11 Making Cotton Robes

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't figure it out, but he was lazy to think about it. Since he knew that the old man was a thief who was walking on the eaves and walls and slipping on the door and picking the locks, the one who arrested him last night was not an enemy, but a yamen constable, so he didn't have to worry about the other party seeking revenge for him, so he put down the stone in his heart. He thought it would be better to stay away from these thieves. He bowed and said, "Senior, if there is nothing else, I will go back. My family is still waiting for me."

"Okay," Xiao Feishi bowed and said, "Xiao originally wanted to send some money to the little brother to express his gratitude, but..., alas, I won't say anything, but I will thank you very much. Xiao still has to stay in the precious land for a while. If you have any use of Xiao, just put a branch on the grass on the left outside Qingfeng Temple. When I see it, I will come to find you."

Zuo Shaoyang laughed and said, "Okay, thank you!"

Zuo Shaoyang went down the bell tower, walked to the door, and looked back. There was no trace of Xiao Feishi on the bell tower.

When he returned home, Liang happened to serve the dishes and greeted, "The food is ready, so I will go to the bar!"

Hou Pu hurriedly gave in and waited for Zuo Gui to get up slowly, shook over one step and sat down at the table. Then he and Zuo Shaoyang sat behind him on both sides, and Liang and Huixiang sat each other.

Zuo Gui was not in a hurry to raise his glass and looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "How is the warehouse repair today?"

"I made a request after drawing the drawings. They repaired them themselves these days. I took the time to check them out to ensure that they met the requirements. After completion, I went to inspect and accept them, and then they could load and store the medicinal materials."

"Is the warehouse you mentioned really effective?"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "As long as you strictly follow my requirements and store medicinal materials, there will be no mistakes. It is definitely much better than they are now! There are much less medicinal materials lost!"

Zuo Gui heard him say it very sure, but he was still a little nervous, afraid that he would feel guilty if he had taken the money from others and did not do good things. Liang knew what her husband was thinking best and said with a smile: "Today I see that old shopkeeper Zhu smiled happily, and he should be very satisfied with Zhonger's work. Don't worry."

Hou Pu had no choice but to bring the creditor to ask his father-in-law for debt. He felt guilty and wanted to make up for it. He also said, "Yes, father-in-law, Dalang is honest and honest. He will not do things that he is not sure about. I know the character of Zhu Yaogu. He never suffers in business, but he is also an extremely smart person. Now he can take out two taels of silver and ask Dalang to help repair the medicinal materials warehouse. He will pay another twelve to five cents of silver for a month. If Dalang helps make medicinal materials, he will definitely see what can make money! Dalang, Zhu Yaogu, such a smart businessman, can you rest assured, what else do you have to worry about?"

This was said to Zuo Gui's heart, and then there was a smile on his face. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, that's it. Zhonger did it with all his heart. Thank you for your hard work. Come on, let's have a drink!"

The whole family had dried up all the wine.

Zuo Gui put down his wine glass, and Zuo Shaoyang helped him pick up a piece of food. Zuo Gui didn't eat it, looked at the dishes, thought for a while, and then said, "Tomorrow morning, you go to the tea shop with me."

Zuo Shaoyang looked around and asked, "Did Dad mean me?"

"Nonsense! Who else isn't you?"

"Oh. I won't carry water tomorrow morning?" Zuo Shaoyang was still thinking about taking advantage of the water to see Sang Xiaomei, and was still worried about whether Sang Xiaomei was punished by her father. Judging from the last time she bought tea in a tea shop, Sang's father was still very strict with Sang Xiaomei.

"I won't pick it anymore. We will go back early and come back early. We will have a cup of tea and talk to you. The main thing is to borrow tea and thank Dad Sang. People will help us overcome the difficulties and have to thank him. Explain to him that within three or four months, we will redeem the dowry that my sister pawned and sent back. It's so reassuring."

"OK."

“How much money does the family still have now?”

Liang said: "There are more than 500 people left in total."

"Well, how much cloth and cotton wool can you do when you gave me the last time Mr. Jia from Laohuai Village?"

"I used part of the fennel for the two children, and the rest could be used as three or four hundred people."

Zuo Gui frowned: "So little? I think this fabric silk cotton is pretty good. Even if you use a part of it, the rest will be worth 1,800 yuan."

Fenxiang smiled and said, "Dad, this is a thing, it is definitely not the actual price of the goods. I think it can be used as three or four hundred quotas. I'm afraid I can't even use this family!"

"I also thought of using fabric cotton wool, so I could redeem the decoration of the Sang family's little sister first."

Fenxiang said: "Dad, I think your idea is not very good. You use the money as a thing to redeem things. Wouldn't you lose a lot? Anyway, my brother can make money now. I will not lose money when he has enough money. I can't make a lot of money for this silk and silk cotton. I think it's better to make a jacket for your two elders and brother. I think it's enough to make three sets of jackets, and there's still plenty of money!"

Hou Pu also smiled and said, "Yes, father-in-law, this winter twelfth month, your two elders should add a jacket, especially Dalang. He will often go to Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store to do business in the future. In this business world, the most important thing is to be decent. To be honest, Dalang's outfit is too cold and a bit of a shame. So, Fennel is right. For the remaining fabric silk cotton, each of you three will make a jacket. Warm and decent. It's better to go out to do business, right?"

Liang also smiled and said, "Master, I see some truth from Xuxiang and his son-in-law. Zhong'er should dress more decently..."

Zuo Gui glared at the eyes: "Too talk! The man is serious, why are you making a fuss?"

"Oh." Liang quickly shut up and lowered his head.

Seeing that his mother was wronged, Zuo Shaoyang quickly changed the topic and said, "Dad, will we go up the mountain to patrol the doctor tomorrow?"

"You still have to prepare medicinal materials for others! After collecting their money, you have to do things for them, don't make any decent things! Did you hear it?"

Zuo Shaoyang was busy.

Liang was afraid that her husband would scold him too harshly, so he hurriedly accompanied him to smile and turned to the topic: "Eat vegetables and eat vegetables! Master, don't just teach Zhong'er a lesson, eat vegetables quickly, the vegetables are cold..."

"What do you know!" Zuo Gui glared, "The jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. The more he has a little success, the better he will be! Especially you, who always spoil him, will one day spoil him, take a wrong path, and defile his ancestors' reputation. How about it?"

"Yes, yes." Liang agreed awkwardly.

Zuo Shaoyang laughed and said, "Dad, I can go the right path, so don't worry, I won't embarrass my ancestors. - I'll give you a cup!"

"Yeah!" Zuo Gui nodded slowly, picked up the wine glass in a steady manner, and drank it all. Put down the glass. Hou Pu was a member of the yamen. Although he was just a clerk, he was a member of the official family. In the eyes of Zuo Gui's father, he smacked his lips and said, "Since my son-in-law has said everything, let's make a jacket for Zhong'er. It's better to wear a decent look."

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said, "If you want to be the two elders, you have to do it, otherwise I don't want it!"

Zuo Gui glared at his eyes and wanted to do it. Hou Pu hurriedly interrupted with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, Dalang is also filial. Otherwise, you two old men can make a set of fabrics and silk cotton. Anyway, the remaining fabrics and silk cotton are not worth much, and they can't be used for anything else. Dalang should go out to do business, and father-in-law, you should also be decent in your hospital for consultation. You are dressed decently, and the patients feel at ease when they see it."

Zuo Gui thought about it, sighed lightly, nodded, turned to ask Liang, "I have made three sets of jackets, can the rest be made of a silk robe skirt?"

Fenix ​​hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, I don't want it. Look, I'm wearing a silk cotton skirt. Hou Pu and his yamen need fabrics, silk cotton, etc. every year, and there is no shortage of cotton coats."

"I didn't say it to you!" Zuo Gui snorted and said, "If the remaining fabric silk cotton is enough to make a ruddy skirt, I will go to the tea shop tomorrow and I will give it to the little sister of the Sang family. If someone does us a big favor and doesn't bring some things, how can I be embarrassed to enter?"

Only then did Huixiang realize and said embarrassedly: "Dad is right, - enough, it must be enough to make a robe skirt!"

Liang also nodded.

"Okay, that's it."

While drinking, Zuo Gui asked Zuo Shaoyang again: "You can't be busy with this medicinal material alone. Your mother has nothing to do, so you can help you."

Liang smiled embarrassedly, "I..., I'm very stupid, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"If you want to make a medicinal herb, what can I do? Zhong'er will teach you."

The preparation of Chuanwu, Caowu, Aconite and Astrin are all troublesome. To make Cranin, you must first remove impurities, wash them, and then separate them according to size. Soak them in clean water. You must soak them until they are cut and tasted. You must change water two or three times a day. After the water is soaked, put an appropriate amount of ginger slices and alum in the pot and boil them. Then pour the soaked Cranin star into the pot and cook them together. When the cook is cooked until there is no dry heart, then take it out until half dry, then cut into thin slices and dry, and then sift the crushed powder. The process of making Cranin and Cranin star is roughly the same as Cranin star. It is also necessary to soak until there is no dry heart inside, take it out, add water and take it out for two or three hours, or steam for three or four hours, cut into a large one without white heart inside, taste the slightest numb tongue and then slice it dry.

There are many types of aconite preparation, including salt aconite, black aconite, white aconite, cannon aconite, light aconite, yellow aconite, etc., with different preparation methods and different application ranges. However, the preparation methods of salt aconite, black aconite, white aconite and light aconite are somewhat similar to those of Aranus, and it also requires a long period of soaking, but the soaking liquid is different.

The soaking of Arizona, Chuanwu, Caowu and Atrial tablets, changing water and boiling, takes a long time and the process is simple, but you can ask your mother to help you and take time to help your father practice medicine. This is the final right way. Then he smiled and said, "Mom, just help me prepare Arizona, Atrial tablets, Atrial tablets, these are very simple, and you will know it once I say it."

"Hehe, is that?" Liang rubbed his hands and felt nervous.

Zuo Gui frowned and said, "If you teach you how to do it, just do it. Zhonger also needs to help Hengchang Pharmaceuticals repair warehouses, and take care of the business of the outside pharmacy shop and tie me to practice medicine. If you don't know how to help me, don't help him. If you don't help him prepare medicinal materials, do you want to exhaust him?"

"Hehe." Liang smiled embarrassedly, "I'm stupid. It's okay if I can't make a joke, I'm afraid I'll delay your business."
