Immediately afterwards, the sound of small and fast footsteps came.
It's a chain of branches.
The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Lian Zhi opened the door sleepily and said sheepishly: "I've been too tired these two days, so I just slept a little longer today."
Xiao Mian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our family has been resting for several days."
The two of them stood in the main courtyard, looking at the locked main room. Xiaomian looked at Xiaodao and said with a smile: "I saw it right this time, the door is locked, and I am not at home."
Lianzhi explained: "The master and his wife took the young master and young lady to Fucheng."
"When did you go?"
"What are you doing in Fucheng?"
The sisters asked Lian Zhi.
Lian Zhi made a humble gesture and said, "I left before dawn yesterday. I heard that I was accompanying the young master for the college entrance examination and that he would stay in Fucheng for a while."
Are you going to study with me or take the exam?
"Are you going so early? Can't I take care of my third uncle's exam? Why are the whole family gone?"
Lian Zhi shook his head, she was a servant, and the master would not discuss things with her.
Xiao Mian looked at the liter of fried noodles in her hand and asked Lian Zhi: "Can you eat it?"
Lian Zhi said quickly: "No, Madam left food rations for the slaves when she left."
The rations left by the step-grandmother?
There will definitely be no white noodles left.
"Forget it, get something to hold it."
He left the fried noodles with Lian Zhi and the two of them strolled home.
Li Benshan felt a little depressed when he heard that the old house was empty.
"I saw my father the day before yesterday. Why didn't he say anything about his visit to Fucheng?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.
Li said: "Our families are separated. Our father can go wherever he wants. Do I need to tell you?"
Xiao Mian: My second uncle is still immersed in the love of father and son, and always thinks that I will discuss anything with him.
Don't take it seriously. If someone gives you a ladder, you just want to get into the house. Are you stupid?
The old man went to Fucheng, and the atmosphere at home was a bit low in the first few days, mainly due to the infection from his second uncle.
Sometimes Xiao Sanshun would walk around the door and look to the west: "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Xiaomian: Could it be that these two gentlemen were orphans in their previous lives? Why are they so greedy for the old man’s comfort?
After the slight summer heat, the red flowers in the herb field are about to be picked.
The best time to pick safflower is after breakfast.
At this time, the dewdrops on the flowers have been evaporated by the sun, and the sun is not too strong yet.
The flowers are the freshest and most delicate at this time, and the color is also the best after harvest.
Harvest days are always accompanied by laughter and laughter.
With half an acre of red flowers, the family worked hard for half a month and got nearly thirty kilograms of dried flowers.
Mrs. Song found a linen bag to put it in and planned to sell it in the county town.
Xiaomian suddenly thought of safflower oil.
My family works every day and goes into the mountains, so there are bound to be bumps and bumps.
You need to keep some safflower oil at home.
So Xiao Mian said: "Mom, leave some of the red flowers, I have other uses."
Mrs. Song has always been responsive to her children's requests. She naturally agreed to Xiaomian's request.
Xiao Sanshun has been craving for cold drinks for the past few days and has a bit of a cold.
If a child is not feeling well, of course he will be depressed and lack of energy.
He had originally asked Dr. Li to prescribe medicine, but Mrs. Song still watched without blinking.
No, as soon as she said she was going to the county town to sell herbal medicine, Mrs. Song wanted to take Sanshun to the big medical clinic.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Song loves Sanshun, but especially during this time.
Even Damai, who always regarded herself as the eldest sister, couldn't help complaining about her mother's partiality.
Only Song knew that she was still suppressing herself.
Because the mistress in the dream is not available this month.
Having an ox cart at home makes it much more convenient to go to the county town.
Early that morning, after having an early meal, Li Benshan loaded up the car.
Two baskets of mountain goods and a sack of red flowers were packed in the back of the car, leaving room in front for the family to sit.
Li Benshan drove the car, Mrs. Song held Sanshun in her arms, and Xiao Mian and Xiao Dao crowded on both sides.
Mrs. Song had to go to see Sanshun herself, or leave it to Ms. Li, the little guy's biological mother. She didn't feel at ease.
The gentle wind blew all the way, and we wandered to the county seat.
Anjifang.
Mrs. Song looked at the old man who frowned for a while and smiled happily for a while, and asked anxiously: "Doctor Liu, will you accept this red flower?"
This doctor Liu, named Liu Yingdao, is the old man who bought Xiaomian's brother and sister Xanthurium.
Liu Yingdao didn't even raise his head, still looking at the red flowers carefully, and asked: "Is this picked by your family?"
Mrs. Song nodded, "Yes, we have planted half an acre outside the courtyard."
"I grew it myself."
Liu Yingdao put down the safflower in his hand and said: "We only accept this safflower from Henan County. We have long-term suppliers."
Mrs. Song frowned: "You won't accept it?"
If you look at and touch it, will you pay for it if it breaks?
Li Benshan was not happy either. He said nothing, picked up the sack and left.
If they don’t accept it here, go to Baohe Hall and ask.
"Hey," Liu Yingdao stopped him quickly, "I didn't say I wouldn't accept it."
Xiaomian raised her eyebrows: "Old man, the quality of my safflower is not worse than that of Henan County, right?"
Hearing the sound, Liu Yingdao looked at Xiaomian and suddenly laughed: "Oh, it's you, girl. I have changed into new clothes today, and I don't even dare to recognize her."
This kid knows how to read people's prices. Last time, he made several taels less for the dendrobium.
He glanced at Honghua, then at Xiaomian, and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to lower the price.
But seeing that it’s you, a child, I still adhere to the rules of our Anjifang, and do not bully the old or the young.”
Xiao Mian couldn't help but laugh. Children don't bully old people. If you don't bully children or the elderly, you are bullying adults.
The old man smiled and shook his hand.
"Fifty cents per catty, how about the price of safflower in Henan County?"
Fifty cents?
Mrs. Song glanced at Xiaomian, then at Li Benshan, asking her family's opinions.
Xiao Mian does not understand the market situation of Honghua and has no say.
Li Benshan nodded. He thought it would work. He could harvest thirty kilograms from half an acre of land.
Although I left some at home and only brought twenty kilograms with me, I still had one tael of silver.
Quite a few.
Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Okay, thank you Doctor Liu."
Xiaomian looked at her mother, why didn't she negotiate the price?
He gives fifty cents. How about you negotiate the price? You can raise it to one or two cents, okay?
But my mother didn’t mean that at all.
Liu Yingdao smiled and weighed the weight, which was exactly twenty pounds. It seemed that the family had weighed it at home.
He took out a tael of silver and handed it to Mrs. Song, and asked with a smile: "Your family can know dendrobium and cocklebur seeds, and can grow high-quality safflower, but does anyone in your family know medicine?"
Mrs. Song subconsciously looked at Xiao Mian.
Xiaodao looked at his second sister proudly.
Liu Yingdao couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Is it possible that you know medicine, girl?"
Li Xiaomian also smiled and waved her hand, "I don't know much about medicine. I just studied a few medicine books with my father when I was a child, and I know a little about pharmaceuticals."
The Li family members all bowed their heads.
Ms. Song lowered her head and closed her eyes: "My husband is so kind. Even after he dies, his daughter can still use it."
Li Benshan: Brother, I know you are illiterate, but I can’t say it.
Xiaodao: Second sister is so amazing, what she said is true.
Xiao Sanshun: I want to sleep.
Liu Yingdao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Hey, I didn't expect to be a talented woman. Then let me ask you, what medicine can be made from this safflower?"
Xiaomian smiled and said: "I know that safflower is warm in nature and pungent in taste. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and promoting menstruation, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain."
Liu Yingdao smiled and nodded, indicating for her to continue.
Xiao Mian continued: "As for pharmaceuticals, I don't know much. I only know that there are Taohong Siwu Decoction, Tongqiao Huoxue Dan, Honghua Xiaoyao Pills, and Safflower Oil."
Liu Yingdao was still smiling at first, but as he listened, he became serious.
(Explain, Dr. Liu, you read it correctly and I wrote it correctly, he is a great doctor.
Here, doctors in public hospitals are called big doctors. As for why they are called that way, Li Xiaomian doesn’t understand. That’s what they call them.
Waiting for the next chapter, I will ask Liu Yingdao why they call them great doctors. After asking clearly, I will tell my friends.
The imperial doctor in the palace is called imperial physician. The doctor in private medical clinic is called daifu, and the barefoot doctor among the people is called langzhong.)
