Chapter 831. Dispensing medicine, buying a gun, and asking old friends
The bow is said to have originated from the battle of chasing deer.
After thousands of years of inheritance, almost everyone except ignorant children knows this ancient weapon.
At this time, six bows were hung on the west wall of the south room of Tian Yonggui's house.
But these six bows are different from the bows people know.
This bow uses an ash stick as the back and a deer gun as the string.
"Yeah!" At this time, Jie Chen also saw the deer gun and bow hanging on the wall. He knew the deer gun and the ash stick, but this was the first time he had seen these two things put together like this.
But Jie Chen knew what it was for at the first glance. He tilted his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Didn't the old man accept this thing less?"
Zhao Jun smiled faintly when he heard this, and then Tian Yonggui blew out the smoke and said with a smile: "We harvested it in the spring and let it dry like this."
As he said that, Tian Yonggui's eyes fell on the deer whip bows and said: "It's almost drying. I'm thinking of selling it."
As soon as Tian Yonggui finished speaking, the old lady came in with a teapot, distributed the two teapots to Zhao Jun and the ministers, then stood on the edge of the kang and pointed to the deer whip bow on the west wall and said: "A while ago, a man came to collect mountain goods.
, it seems that they are a father and a wife, right? The boy from his family came to see it and said he wanted to take it, and then we waited for them to give us money, but in the end, the father and mother did not believe it either. "
"Ah!" Zhao Jun and Jie Chen looked at each other after hearing this. They both thought that the merchants who collected mountain goods the old lady mentioned were, if nothing else, Zheng Donghai and his son.
The reason why the two men let the old couple loose is probably because they finished harvesting bear bile at home and ran out of money for leopard skins.
Jie Chen chuckled, gestured to the wall with the hand holding the cigarette, and said: "I saw they had a deer gun nailed to the board."
As he spoke, Jie Chen gestured: "Three nails, top, middle and bottom to fix the deer whip to the elm board."
Hearing what Jie Chen said, Tian Yonggui, who was opposite him, smiled slightly, but Zhao Jun put his hand on Jie Chen's raised arm, interrupted Jie Chen's gestures and said in plain language: "Brother, in front of the old man,
Let’s stop playing tricks on each other.”
"Huh?" Jie Chen was startled when he heard this, and then Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Have you watched them behave like this in the past two years?"
"Ah!" Jie Chen nodded blankly, and Zhao Jun continued: "The old tricks don't do that."
As Zhao Jun spoke, he pointed to the wall and explained to Jie Chen: "Brother, if you do it like them, at most the gun will not shrink. But if you do it like the old man, you can still stretch the gun to both ends."
What a true message!
When Zhao Jun didn't say anything, Jie Chen had no reaction. But when Zhao Jun said it, Jie Chen suddenly understood.
Deer penis is a medicinal material, and it must be dried when stored. If it is dried, it will inevitably shrink!
Deer whip will also shrink after drying. And once the deer whip shrinks, it will inevitably affect the appearance.
So as Jie Chen said, someone nailed the deer whip to the board. The upper, middle and lower nails fixed the deer whip so that it would lose water without shortening.
But the older generation doesn't do this. They all like Tian Yonggui, cut a length suitable for the ash willow stick, burn it a little with fire, then bend the ash willow stick into the back of a bow, and then use the deer whip as a bow string system.
Go up.
Hang it like a bow in this way and let it dry. Because there are ash sticks holding it at both ends, the deer whip will not shorten even if it loses water.
The ash stick was originally straight, but after being bent by someone, a deer whip was tied at both ends. This ash stick has the tension to restore outward, and it will even stretch the deer whip little by little.
This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the old mountain runners!
Jie Chen understood and smiled. Zhao Jun pointed at Jie Chen and introduced Tian Yonggui: "Master Tian, this is a little brother of mine who came from Lingnan."
Tian Yonggui smiled and nodded to Jie Chen, and then said to Zhao Jun: "My child, you are famous now. Even an old man like me can always listen to them talk about you."
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled and said modestly: "What's the name? Compared with you, I am a junior."
"Hey!" Mrs. Lao Tian came over, gestured to Zhao Jun, and said, "They all say that you are a general who subdues the tiger."
"What?" The old lady's words made Zhao Jun stunned. Li Ruhai only talked about business matters at the dinner table yesterday, and his reputation for Zhao Jun was a private matter, and Li Ruhai hadn't had time to tell Zhao Jun yet.
"General Fuhu." Tian Yonggui said with a smile: "Why don't you catch a tiger with a big paw? There used to be a general who hunted tigers on our mountain. You who caught the tiger, weren't you the general Fuhu?"
"Ouch!" When Zhao Jun heard this, he couldn't help frowning and smiling bitterly: "Who is blind? What kind of skills do I have, how can I dare to compare with Guo Paotou?"
"Child, don't say that." Tian Yonggui saw that Zhao Jun was really frightened, so he comforted him: "I remember that was before liberation. Your father, Mr. Xu, and a bunch of them led dogs to fight tigers. That was all
I haven’t hit you yet. You kid, you’ve really been cooking for a while.”
When the old man said this, Zhao Jun just smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, Tian Yonggui looked at the deer spear and bow on the west wall and said to Zhao Jun: "If it is a tiger spear, it cannot be trimmed like this. If you want to trim the tiger spear in front of it, you can bring it over and I will clean it up for you."
Zhao Jun: "..."
"Master Tian." Zhao Jun said with a bitter smile: "I can't deal with that thing, I've never seen it before."
"I've seen it." Tian Yonggui pinched the cigarette butt and pointed at Zhao Jun and said: "That thing has thorns, that guy's..."
"Hey, hey." At this time, the old lady grabbed Tian Yonggui from the side and said, "Don't be useless. This kid came all the way. He must have something to ask you. Look outside today.
Yin, hula,..."
At this point, the old lady turned to Zhao Jun and said: "Child, don't worry too much. If things are like this today, Tian Nai won't keep you. After you finish your work, go home and warm up on the kang."
The old lady meant well. Zhao Jun nodded and smiled at her, took out a prescription from his pocket, put it on the table and handed it to Tian Yonggui: "Master Tian, I'm here to find some medicine."
Tian Yonggui took the paper, opened it in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, Tian Yonggui raised his eyes and asked Zhao Jun: "Just treating bones?"
Zhao Jun said nothing and nodded with a smile.
The herbs in the prescription are all for strengthening muscles and bones, and among them, Hei Xiazi Bo Leng Gai is a fake tiger bone. Do you still need to ask if there is one in it?
Tian Yonggui looked at the piece of paper and muttered: "Heixiazi Bolenggai, kid, do you have this?"
"Yes." Zhao Jun responded with a smile on his face, and the old man continued to mutter: "Deer antlers... wolfberry things don't grow on our mountain here, but I picked up a lot over there in Lingnan... Eucommia ulmoides, these are all
I put it in the big drugstore down the mountain to get it done."
They are all a trip to the mountains, but the strange thing is that there are no long mountain wolfberries on the west side of Lingxi, but there are those in Lingnan!
After mumbling, mumbling, Tian Yonggui suddenly fell silent. He took the prescription and looked at it repeatedly for two minutes, then raised his head and said to Zhao Jun: "My child, where did this prescription come from? This man has two tricks!"
Zhao Jun said with a smile: "That day a man from Lingnan came to do some siege. His leg was broken in the spring, and then it became uncomfortable. He used this method to get better."
"Ah..." The old man nodded, then took off his glasses and put them on the table, and then said to Zhao Jun: "But kid, let me tell you, it will be better if he adds some medicine here.
"
"Really?" Zhao Jun opened his eyes in pretense of surprise, pressed his chest against the kang table, tilted his head and looked at the paper, seeming to ask subconsciously: "What else is missing?"
How does he understand? He, Zhao Jun, has been looking at this square for several days, but he still doesn't see it as an ugly person?
But just like his appearance, Tian Yonggui didn't think much about it and just said: "It would be better if you add a few pricks of five plus poles (gāi) inside!"
"Ah..." Zhao Jun seemed to have realized something and agreed with Tian Yonggui: "Acanthopanax also strengthens the bones, isn't it, Mr. Tian?"
When it comes to Acanthopanax, you may not know much about it, but there is a common Chinese medicine called Acanthopanax bark, which is used as medicine to strengthen muscles and bones.
The bark and roots of the Northeastern Acanthopanax can be used as the bark of Acanthopanax.
"Yes!" Tian Yonggui smiled when Zhao Jun asked him. He pointed at Zhao Jun and said, "This kid is promising."
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Master Tian, please give me some medicine, ten pairs of medicines. When the medicine is finished, we have to go back quickly. Like my wife Tian said, it will snow soon.
"
"Okay!" Tian Yonggui heard this and got off the kang. While kicking on his shoes on the edge of the kang, he said to Zhao Jun, "Sit down, my child. I'll get you some medicine."
After Tian Yonggui finished speaking, he took the old lady and hurried to the east room.
After the old couple left, Zhao Jun went down to see the deer whip bows, and Jie Chen came over with him.
About three or four minutes later, Mr. and Mrs. Tian Yonggui came back. He was carrying a clean earthen basket in his hands. The earthen basket contained ten large paper butter packets.
"Son." Tian Yonggui handed the earthen basket to Zhao Jun and said, "This is ten doses of medicine. Can you take it by yourself when you go back?"
"Yes." Zhao Jun reached out and took out the medicine package from the earthen basket, then handed it to Jie Chen beside him, who stuffed it into his shoulder pocket.
After handing the tenth paper package to the minister, Zhao Jun asked Tian Yonggui: "Master Tian, how much does this cost in total?"
"You can get it for fifteen yuan." Tian Yonggui pointed to the medicine bag in Jie Chen's arms and said to Zhao Jun, "I don't want more from you."
"I know, I know." Zhao Jun responded twice, and then heard Tian Yonggui say: "The acanthopanax I put in it for you was picked by you and I up the mountain, and we didn't even ask for your money."
Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this. Just now Tian Yonggui said that this medicine needs to add some Acanthopanax, but in fact it was just a sign of disdain from his colleagues.
In Tian Yonggui's mind, you, Zhao Jun, are from our local area. If people around you need medical treatment, if you don't come to me, you can find prescriptions from Lingnan to get medicine. There is nothing wrong with this, but I have to show my ability and go here.
Add another medicine to the prescription, or change it to another medicine.
If I can change his prescription, it means that I am better than him. When the medicine cures the disease, the credit must be mine, right?
In his previous life, Zhao Jun was not only knowledgeable about ginseng, but the key was in Chinese herbal medicine. Which medicines are more expensive than ginseng?
By tinkering with ginseng and accumulating wealth, Zhao Jun gained a certain status. Once his status increased, people were willing to contact him, and during the contacts, they were willing to tell Zhao Jun some of the secrets of the industry as interesting things.
Just like Tian Yonggui said just now that Acanthopanax is added to the prescription. It seems that the old man has superb medical skills. In fact, the Acanthopanax can be added or not. Whether it is added or not will not affect the efficacy of the prescription.
But the two families have known each other since Zhao Jun's grandfather's generation. The old man said that he wanted to add more trouble here, and Zhao Jun could not fall for his old face.
So at the beginning of the fight, Zhao Jun just wanted to wait until he got home, pick out the eleuthero from the medicine bag and be done with it. He was not short of these two dollars. He wanted ten medicines in addition to boiling plaster for Heihu.
, he wanted to keep the rest for Li Dayong to make wine.
But what Zhao Jun didn't expect was that Tian Yonggui didn't count the money for Acanthopanax. Zhao Jun believed what he said because the old man didn't need to make such a fuss.
"Then thank you, Mr. Tian." Zhao Jun nodded to the old man and the old lady, smiled and said thank you, "Thank you, Mrs. Tian."
"Thank you." The old lady spoke quickly and said to Zhao Jun before Tian Yonggui could do it: "If you are short of anything, just come!"
"Hey!" Zhao Jun responded with a smile, then took off a deer gun and bow from the wall, and asked Tian Yonggui: "Master Tian, how much does this cost?"
"Oh!" Tian Yonggui frowned and asked, "Son, you're not married, why did you buy this thing?"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Master Tian, look, I don't need it, why don't I give it to others?"
"That's not good!" The old lady gently gave Tian Yonggui a pestle and said, "I'm telling you, old bastard, you can't ask for more from your children."
"Do I need you to tell me?" Tian Yonggui rolled his eyes at the old lady, pointed at Zhao Jun and said, "This big pillar's grandson keeps calling me Master Tian, so can I have more?"
When Tian Yonggui said the last half of the sentence, he looked at Zhao Jun and asked.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Jun chuckled and did not answer. Tian Yonggui raised his left index finger and pointed to Zhao Jun: "My child, you are really good! You are really good at choosing.
I’ll let you take the best one.”
"Hahaha..." Zhao Jun still just laughed and said nothing.
Tian Yonggui clicked his eyes and said to Zhao Jun: "Forty yuan."
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun said hurriedly: "Master Tian, don't lose money!"
"Why are you here? Why are you here?" Tian Yonggui waved his hand and said, "My child, it's your first time here today. No matter if you bring it to someone else or something else, your Master Tian won't give you a penny!"
"Then shall I take it?" Zhao Jun asked tentatively. When the old man nodded, he took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted six big coupons and handed them to Tian Yonggui.
"Give it to me, kid." The old lady reached out to take the money, smiled, put her other hand into her trouser pocket, and said, "I'll give you five dollars in change."
"Hey!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Tian Nai, I'm not looking for you!"
"That won't work!" the old lady said anxiously: "There are fifty-five in total, you gave me sixty."
"No!" Zhao Jun said: "I didn't buy anything for you and my Master Tian when I came here. Five yuan is not enough to buy a good cigarette, so I just bought two kilograms of tobacco leaves for my Master Tian to smoke."
"That won't work!" the old lady shouted, "I won't let him smoke unless I give him a cigarette."
"Oh, let's go, let's go." Zhao Jun hurriedly pushed the door out, then held the door open with one hand to let Jie Chen out, and blocked the old lady in the room with the other hand, saying: "Tian Nai, there's no need to see us off, it's cold outside, go back quickly
!”
"You kid!" The old lady gently twitched Zhao Jun's arm and said urgently: "I'm keeping the money. Do you have to let us give it to you?"
Zhao Jun laughed, stopped and let the old lady and Tian Yonggui come out. The three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard and watched Jie Chen start the car. Tian Yonggui admired: "My child, there is no one in our eight villages in ten miles and eight villages who can lead the faction better than you!"
Why?"
Suddenly, Tian Yonggui remembered something and said to Zhao Jun: "Do you have a big crotch in your village?"
