Chapter 18: Medicine Money for Food



Shopkeeper...

Liu Yuhan looked at the 1,000 taels in the space and smiled. Liu Yuhan only wanted silver ingots, not silver notes, which made the shopkeeper very upset.

The road ahead will definitely be bumpy. What's the use of silver notes? If there is a sudden change of dynasty, the silver notes will be useless. Silver ingots are better.

There were ingots of 10 liang, 20 liang, and 50 liang, scattered here and there. It was such a big basket that I couldn't even lift it without putting it in the space.

I am full of gratitude towards the rich second generation Xiaopang. I thank the rich second generation and thank the rich second generation's parents for making him a rich second generation.

After taking medicine for 7 consecutive days, Xu Fugui's foot has recovered a lot and he can barely walk.

Old Xu, no longer needed to take care of him, joined the villagers in their work. Their family had the least food and water stored, and although there were only the two of them, they still had to prepare what they needed.

Day after day, the medicinal yam was almost gone. Finally, the Liu family was quiet.

Tomorrow I will sell all the medicinal herbs in the village and from my own home. Some of them have not been dried, so I will sort them, pack them and sell them.

Liu Yuhan counted the days and was afraid that something unexpected would happen prematurely. The key was to quickly let the villagers get some money to stock up on food and buy what they needed.

At 5:00 AM, the village chief drove his family's ox cart, the only one in the village, with medicinal herbs on it.

Liu Shinan, Liu Yuhan, Liu, the village chief's wife Yan, Liu Zhuang, two strong young men in the village, except Liu Yuhan and Liu, Yan carried a backpack, and the others pushed a wheelbarrow, and they set off together towards the town.

After selling the medicinal herbs, I will buy the things I need and have listed the names.

The village chief also had a purse sewn into his clothes, which contained a piece of paper and some silver. These were the things that each family needed to bring, as well as the silver they had saved before.

The weather was getting increasingly dry; not a drop of rain had fallen for six months. Even the wells in the mountains, where water was usually stored, only had a trickle of water left. The wells had dried up, and soon there would be no water at all. People were in a panic, and they hurried along without saying a word.

How terrible it would have been if they hadn't bought water bags to stock up on water some time ago. Now they dare not waste a drop of water except for drinking.

I'm afraid this day is about to change.

When they arrived in town, the atmosphere became even more desolate. They went straight to the pharmacy. Doctor Liu was kind and didn't say much when he saw they brought some undried herbs.

After checking, I found that there was no problem with the quality, so I accepted them all.

The village received twelve taels of silver, and Liu Yuhan's family received five. Liu Yuhan had them buy some typhoid fever herbs, spending two taels. The village chief clutched the money tightly, wondering how much grain he could buy.

Before Liu Yuhan left, he hinted to Doctor Liu and asked him to make preparations early. It is unknown what he thought afterwards.

Doctor Liu is a medical practitioner. It would be great if I could follow him to escape the famine and learn some Chinese medicine from him.

Speaking of Doctor Liu, he was born and raised in Shitou Town. But his father was not. His father was a doctor from the capital with excellent medical skills.

No matter how hard Dr. Liu tried, he could only learn 80% of what his father had. Dr. Liu never married and devoted himself to studying medicine, a medical enthusiast.
