"It's your first time here, I'll buy you anything you want."
Seeing that she was overwhelmed, Qin Li slowed down his pace.
Chen Tan thought for a moment, then named a dozen herbs before continuing:
"Brother, I also want to buy Polygonum multiflorum, Eclipta prostrata, Sophora japonica, mulberry leaves, Ligustrum lucidum fruit, and Platycladus orientalis leaves."
In addition to frostbite cream, she also wanted to make something good.
Tea oil is produced in abundance here, and she wants to use tea bran to make some tea bran soap for washing her hair.
Qin Li was slightly surprised. These herbs were not cheap. "Why do you need so many?"
Chen Tan didn't intend to hide it from him. "Just now, those educated youth on the road said that their hands and feet had frostbite. I want to make more frostbite cream and sell it to Grandpa Xie."
At this time, although individuals were not allowed to resell, small transactions between rural people were not strictly controlled.
Looking at her bright and excited eyes, Qin Li smiled dotingly.
"Come on, I'll take you shopping."
"Okay." Chen Tan followed him, quietly observing every place she passed.
This is a hilly area with many rolling mountains.
In spring, summer and autumn, farmers use their free time to go into the mountains to dig herbs to sell.
Therefore, there is a factory in the county town that specializes in collecting medicinal herbs, which also sells various prepared medicinal herbs without the need for tickets.
The two men arrived at the store in front of the pharmaceutical factory. There was only a middle-aged doctor in a white coat named Yao Jianfeng.
He was not tall, with sparse hair on his round head, and a bald spot in the middle.
He glanced at Qin Li and asked Chen Tan to sit down. "Stretch out your hand. How old are you?"
"Seventeen years old, doctor, I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to buy medicine."
Chen Tan took out a small notebook from her pocket, on which was written the medicine and quantity she wanted.
"Can you help me figure out how much it would cost to buy all these medicines?"
"Don't worry, let me take your pulse first," Yao Jianfeng grabbed Chen Tan's wrist without hesitation, "Well, you are very weak, you need to nourish yourself well, I will prescribe some medicine for you."
He lowered his head and spoke as he wrote the prescription.
All the medicines written above are those that Chen Tan wants.
Chen Tan finally realized that a person cannot buy so many medicines casually.
After writing the prescription, Yao Jianfeng personally prepared the medicine. "Go buy the honey at the department store. You'll need a year to take care of your body."
Chen Tan didn't understand his hidden meaning and followed his words, "Thank you, doctor. How much is it?"
Qin Li glared at Yao Jianfeng secretly, his ears feeling hot.
I felt annoyed again.
So what if you’re in good health?
She didn't want to be his wife.
Chen Tan wore a large, thick hat, and her mouth and nose were covered by a scarf. Yao Jianfeng could only see her almond-shaped eyes, and his heart was filled with curiosity about her. "You're welcome, twenty-six dollars and eighty cents."
"Oh, here you go..."
Chen Tan took out the money and was about to hand it over when he was pulled back by a big hand.
"I'll give it to you," Qin Li took out three ten-yuan bills with a note inside, "If you have more, buy it."
Yao Jianfeng took out the note and glanced at it, then looked up at Qin Li with a playful smile on his face, "Have some humanity. Remember, you have to take good care of it for a full year."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and wrote down a medical record. He then took out a ceramic bottle from the medicine cabinet behind him and said, "During those days, take one pill three times a day, each time, and it will relieve the symptoms."
Chen Tan looked at the words "Shenfeng Pills" on the bottle and guessed that it was a medicine for relieving menstrual abdominal pain.
She put away her money and blinked her eyes. This guy is quite considerate.
Thinking of ginseng seeds, she asked Yao Jianfeng softly, "Doctor Yao, do you have any herbal seeds for sale?"
"Why did you buy this?" Yao Jianfeng looked at Qin Li puzzledly. "Did your team leader ask you to buy this?"
Qin Li shook his head and looked at Chen Tan, "What kind of medicine do you want to buy?"
"Ginseng. I once heard the old people in the village say that if Sister Liu Xu could eat a fresh ginseng, she would be able to give birth to a son. I want to help her."
After Chen Tan finished speaking seriously, Yao Jianfeng burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Qin Li, where did you get this little woman? I'm dying of laughter."
Qin Li was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't believe that after reading Old Man Xie's medical book, she wouldn't understand that ginseng was impossible to grow.
He said, "Let Old Man Xie write her a prescription, and I'll buy the medicine for her."
"No, she's my sister-in-law, what's the big deal about you buying it for her?"
Chen Tan pretended to be angry, which made Yao Jianfeng beside him laugh again.
"Little girl, our factory only sells processed herbs. We don't have seeds for sale. Even in our county, we don't sell seeds. As for ginseng seeds, we don't have any in our province, unless you go to the mountains to collect them yourself."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Qin Li.
Chen Tan's eyes were full of disappointment. Seeing someone coming in to buy medicine, he could only follow Qin Li and leave.
After the two of them walked about three hundred meters, Chen Tan pulled Qin Li to a deserted area and quietly asked, "Brother, do you know Doctor Yao?"
If she knew him, she might ask Dr. Yao to keep an eye out for him and buy him a fresh wild ginseng.
Looking at her big, sparkling eyes, Qin Li said something that surprised Chen Tan.
"I once dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng in the mountains, and he bought it personally."
"Then you weren't in danger?"
Wild ginseng is hard to find. The ones that are a hundred years old must be hidden in the mountains. Qin Li must have suffered a lot to be able to dig it out.
Qin Li thought she would ask if there were any more and asked him to dig one for her.
I didn't expect that it was words of concern for him.
His tough features softened slightly. "Who am I, your big brother? Wild boars in the mountains avoid me when they see me, and wolves run faster than rabbits when they see me."
