Chapter 11
Half an hour later, Xu Yi returned home, fed Xiao Huang and then went out again. Before going out, he put all the money in the house into a cloth bag.
Bumping the money bag in his sleeve, he mentally calculated how many medicinal materials he could buy with the money.
After two trips up the mountain, he earned seven cents and sixty-four cents. Excluding the money he spent, he now only had two cents and eighty-one cents.
Whether it's too much or too little, Xu Yi feels uncertain.
But it's just a small amount of money...how could he be so poor.
With a lot of emotions in his heart, Xu Yi couldn't bear it for a while and then cursed in a low voice. In just a few days, he realized that if he wanted to live peacefully in the county, he couldn't just rely on selling medicinal materials.
Digging herbs depends on the weather. Especially in bad weather, it is really troublesome to go out. If he wants to make a name for himself, he can't rely on selling herbal medicine.
It is easy to solve this problem of lack of money. He has many good pills and prescriptions at hand.
This must have been inspired by the Miaoshou Pills sold by the doctor in the Miaoshou Pavilion. As for the nature of the Miaoshou Pill, Xu Yi didn't know for the time being. He doesn't need to know what the other party is selling, he just needs to be sure of the pills he wants to sell.
South Street, Xinglin Pavilion.
There was no sound in the medical hall, except for the rustling sound when the apprentices were counting medicinal materials in front of the medicine cabinet. Sun Shitong, the sitting doctor, was resting in the back room. He held a medical book in his hand and shook his head while reading. The goat has to swing from side to side, which is very pleasant.
When he read somewhere, he stopped shaking his head, moved his lips, and murmured as quietly as a mosquito: "Weird, weird, why does this prescription look so familiar?"
Sun Shitong stroked his beard and couldn't remember where he read it. The recipe I arrived was so friendly, as if I had just seen it in the past two days?
...Oh, right!
It was the prescription he had read this morning. Several medicinal materials in it cost the same amount of money, but the prescription was clearly for treatment... He was stunned, and finally knew what the problem was.
Although the prescription was to treat physical weakness, it was quite different from the prescription he prescribed. He was the only doctor in Xinglin Pavilion. The patient came to prescribe the medicine. The apprentice saw that it was different from the previous one, so he took it to him. Come and prove.
At that time, he saw that the medicinal materials inside did not conflict with each other, nor was he drinking medicine that could kill people, so he agreed.
When I thought about it carefully later, I realized that the prescription was not only for treating physical weakness, but also used the same prescription for the syndrome of "blood deficiency and blood dryness" written in the book.
There were just a few differences that made him think about it for so long.
Sun Shitong snorted coldly and slapped the medical book on the pear wood table. This prescription was not prescribed by several other medical clinics in Yanting County. He had never seen the handwriting and the medicine was unique. Could it be that a new doctor came to Yanting? County?
The Yang family in Pinglu Lane, South Street, whose son had been weak and sick for so many years, where did he find such a doctor.
Sun Shitong focused his little eyes and shouted sharply outside: "Li Ji, come in."
"Doctor Sun, what do you want from me?" The apprentice named Li Ji lifted the curtain and came in, smelling the smell inside. The aroma of tea made me swallow my saliva.
He hasn't rested since he came to the hospital today. He didn't even sit down to take a sip of tea and take a break. He didn't even drink water.
"Go to South Street and ask to see which medical clinic has hired a new doctor." After Sun Shitong explained, he stopped him and said, "Not only South Street, but also other hospitals."
Li Ji didn't know why. Seeing Dr. Sun's gloomy face, he didn't dare to ask questions.
After Li Ji raised the curtain and left, Sun Shitong sat and drank a cup of tea, stood up and walked slowly to the hall of the medical hall.
The hall was quiet. In the past, there were patients resting in the rooms left and right, but today it was empty. The rain made the business in the medical center a lot colder.
When will this damn rainy season stop? Sun Shitong looked disgusted and looked around the medicine cabinet with his eyes hanging, searching for any mistakes he could make so he could find a reason to scold the apprentice.
...
Nothing was found wrong, but a young man came into the hospital.
When Sun Shitong saw who was coming, he narrowed his eyes and sat down calmly. He asked, "Why is Mr. Xu Xiaoguan here today?"
"Doctor Sun, I'm here to buy medicine." Xu Yi came up. Take a step forward, take out the paper you wrote on and hand it over.
He glanced around and didn't see the apprentice Ji Geer in the Xinglin Pavilion, so he asked Sun Shitong, "Doctor Sun, could you please check, if I want these medicinal materials, what is the price?"
Sun Shitong pretended to smile: "Let me take a look. ."
Taking the prescription from Xu Yi, he looked stunned for a moment after reading the names of the medicinal materials written on it. This was not a prescription.
The citrus aurantium, licorice, Liushenqu, green peel, tangerine peel, etc. mentioned above are all calculated by kilogram.
He asked thoughtfully: "Why do you need so many medicinal materials? You can't use these medicinal materials casually. I'm afraid Xu Xiaoguan heard it from somewhere. It's not that Sun won't give it to you, but you have to tell me what so many medicines are used for." Something like that."
Xu Yi looked surprised: "Now that medicines are sold in hospitals, does the buyer need to explain where they are used?"
Sun Shitong: "..."
No, but you are a young man whose parents have just died of illness. He was very suspicious of buying so many medicinal materials suddenly.
Especially when I think of the Xu family who also live in South Street, Shijing Lane, three lanes away from Pinglu Lane. This young man came to the hospital for treatment at that time, and his memory is still very vivid. The story of a scholar who didn't understand the world and sought medical treatment for his parents would be a tear-jerker if told to other patients.
"Ahem. There is no such rule." Sun Shitong chuckled, his smile not reaching his eyes.
Xu Yi immediately understood that Doctor Sun wanted to know.
In order to prevent others from knowing the specific medicinal materials used in this recipe, he only wrote a few medicinal materials on the paper.
He would go to other stores to buy a few other items, such as hawthorn and malt, and there were also one or two of the medicinal materials he kept when digging for medicine.
The apprentice was not in the medical clinic, and Sun Shitong sighed. He could not leave the matter of grabbing medicine to others, so he had to do it himself.
Having not had to do such work for so many years, his speed in grabbing medicine could not even be compared to that of an apprentice.
Xu Yi watched silently and suddenly said: "Doctor Sun, you caught the wrong one. Mr. Qingpi caught ten yuan."
"Click--"
was the sound of the scale and the scale plate colliding.
Sun Shitong was frightened because he moved very cleverly and deliberately changed the angle, but Xu Yi, who was standing three steps away in front of the medicine cabinet, noticed him.
He never imagined that he could see the points on the scale from such a distance.
He hurriedly suppressed the panic on his face, pretending to smile sheepishly: "I'm really new to this job, so I'll relax if I leave this job to apprentice Ji. It seems that I have to work diligently in the future, and I can't just leave everything to him." Let apprentice Ji do it."
"Really, that's what it should be," Xu Yi said with a straight face.
Sun Shitong: "..." He just said that. Is it possible that he really needs to do everything by himself? That is absolutely impossible.
This was not the first time that Xinglin Hall had done such a small trick. He didn't know his previous identity, but Xu Yi had a clear conscience, so naturally he wouldn't follow his words.
Next, Sun Shitong suppressed the depression in his heart and honestly calculated the amount of medicinal materials Xu Yi bought.
After weighing, Sun Shitong took the abacus and knocked it in front of the medicine cabinet, knocking the beads loudly.
After counting the breaths, Sun Shitong cleared his throat and looked at Xu Yi: "It costs a total of one hundred and sixty coins. Has Mr. Xu Xiaoguan brought enough money?"
Xu Yi smiled: "I have brought enough."
He took out his money bag and counted it . Pay a sum of sixty cents and put it on the medicine cabinet.
Then he took the medicinal materials wrapped beside him in his hands and walked out of the hospital without saying a word.
When he just stepped out of the medical clinic, he met the apprentice Ji Geer who had come back in a hurry. Li Ji was very familiar with Xu Yi. They went to the same private school back then, but he was not good at reading and was arranged by his parents early. Come to be an apprentice in a medical clinic.
"Brother Yi..."
Li Ji opened his mouth and looked at Xu Yi's leaving figure, wondering why he was walking so fast without saying hello to him.
