Early the next morning, Yingbao had breakfast and went to Patriarch Chen's house by mule cart with her cousin Jiang Cheng.
Patriarch Chen ran out quickly, smiling so hard he couldn't close his mouth: "Xiao... Yingbao is here, come in quickly, have you eaten?"
"After eating, let me see Uncle Chen Zhu."
"Okay, okay, Zhu'er woke up this morning and ate half a bowl of porridge." Chief Chen Le Diandian followed the half-knee-high baby like an old follower.
Seeing Mr. Shao coming out of the house, he quickly ordered: "Daughter-in-law Zhuzi, go and make some tea for your third sister-in-law and niece."
Chun Niang: "No, we have to go to town after Bao'er has finished the diagnosis. Her fourth aunt, you don't have to do anything."
Shao's wife didn't know whether she should make tea or not, but her father-in-law glared at her and she quickly ran to the kitchen.
Yingbao walked into Chen Zhu's house and asked Patriarch Chen to light a candle so that she could see Chen Zhu's leg injury.
Chen Zhu has woken up now, but is still very weak.
Ying Bao first pulled down his eyelids to check his pupils.
Chen Zhu's pupils have returned to normal, but they are still a little unnatural.
After looking at his pupils and then his legs, he saw that Chen Zhu was clearly embarrassed. He curled up his legs and turned his face inside.
The redness and swelling on my thighs have subsided a lot, but the ointment I applied yesterday has dried.
It looked like he had to change his dressing again, and Ying Bao couldn't help feeling pain.
Not to mention those expensive herbs, this ointment and pills contain a lot of Wudingzhi alone.
But the thought of someone paying for the medicine is a bit off the table.
"Grandpa Chen, my medicine is very precious. A box with twelve pills costs a total of five taels of silver. This is only a day's supply."
Yingbao said seriously to Patriarch Chen: "If you think it's expensive, I also have cheap ones here, only one tael of silver per dose."
Chen Fu waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not expensive, just five taels. I'll take the money right now."
No matter how expensive it is, you have to use the best. Chen Fu still knows what is going on with his son.
Since taking Yingbao's pills, his son Chen Zhu has improved significantly.
At that time, even Mr. Li said that he wanted him to prepare for his funeral. The little fairy boy was the little fairy boy, and a few pills could bring his son back from hell.
Ying Bao expressed satisfaction with the words of Patriarch Chen. She took out the ointment and applied it to Chen Zhu.
After taking the medicine and feeding him two more pills, he took the twenty-five taels of silver handed over by Patriarch Chen and put it into his small bag.
Chen Fu was not surprised at how that small bag could hold things so well, and said, "I want to prepare enough for four days."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he can't let Ying Bao come to his house to see a doctor during the Chinese New Year.
Even if Xiao Yingbao agrees, her parents probably won't agree either.
Of course Yingbao had no problem, and he took out four small palm-sized jars and a bowl of pills from the small bag.
"It's enough for another four days. I'll come back and take a look in a few days."
"That's a good feeling."
Chen Fu asked: "Yingbao, can you show me that opening too?"
Tang's syndrome has been in quite bad condition for the past two days. Even after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li, there has been no improvement. He always complains of dizziness and stiff fingers.
Yingbao nodded: "Okay, where is Grandma Chen?"
"Lie down in the house." Chen Fu quickly led Yingbao to his house.
Tang's hair was disheveled and she was lying on the kang. Her hair was more white than black, and her face was sallow and haggard. She looked older than the clan leader.
Hey, she is obviously more than ten years younger than Patriarch Chen. Her son is dying, and half of the old woman's life was taken away in one fell swoop.
Ying Bao carefully diagnosed her pulse, checked her eyes and tongue coating, and asked Patriarch Chen to take a packet of the medicine she was taking and take a look at it to determine what was wrong with her.
Mrs. Wen once said that most people aged to fifty suffer from liver and spleen disorders and blood viscosity. Not only do they need to take medicine to treat it, but they also need to abstain from sugar and low-salt diet. They should move their legs and feet more and drink more water in order to maintain their health.
alleviate this situation.
The medicine Li Langzhong prescribed was indeed symptomatic, but the addition of cinnabar made it a little bad.
But now most of the prescriptions follow the ancient prescriptions, and some of them not only add cinnabar, but also add yuan water, which is mercury.
Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law also came from a medical family. Her father said that although cinnabar and mercury were top-grade medicines, they were highly toxic and could kill people if used carelessly.
Therefore, Mrs. Wen emphasized in her lecture that Dansha Yuanshui should not be used to prepare medicine without permission.
Yingbao thought for a while and said to Patriarch Chen: "Grandma Tang's pulse is stringy and stringy. The medicine prescribed by Li Langzhong is just right. But you must also pay attention to a light diet. Don't eat sweets or drink rice porridge. Drink more plain water. Wait for me.
When I get back from town, I'll prepare some medicine for her to take."
Patriarch Chen rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back to your house to get it. Yingbao, how much does it cost to make the medicine?"
Ying Bao raised a slap in the face: "Five taels!"
It costs money for her to go to the drug store to buy herbal medicine, so the five taels is already a favor.
Patriarch Chen's face twitched, but he nodded: "Okay, I'll give it to you right now."
"No, no, wait until I prepare the medicine and then take it." Yingbao said, "I'm going to town now, so it's not appropriate to bring a lot of money with me."
Patriarch Chen, who had just paid twenty-five taels of silver, subconsciously looked at Yingbao's small bag.
It's light and airy there, and it doesn't look like it contains several ingots of silver.
Ying Bao said goodbye to Patriarch Chen and left happily with her mother.
When we arrived at the market town, there were already many people on the streets.
The crowds of people made it difficult for the mule cart to enter, so they had to park on the side of the road and let Jiang Cheng guard them.
So Chun Niang carried the cherry treasure in the bamboo basket and walked inside with the flow of people.
Every year before New Year's Day, there are so many stalls in the market town, and even the vendors who go from house to house put down their stalls on the streets.
Yingbao picked out some toys, bought a dozen bunches of candied haws, some silk flowers and combs, and also bought two thin-edged knives, two pairs of scissors, and two children's bows and arrows from a grocery stall.
I also saw a few sheepskin balls and pigskin balls hanging on a salesman's shelf, so I bought two.
This thing is made of pig urine foam with pigskin or sheepskin sewn on the outside. It can be blown up and tied tightly for children to play with. It saves more shoes than playing stone balls and does not hurt the feet. It is just a gift for those at home.
Skin monkey.
This kind of ball is only sold during the Chinese New Year and cannot be purchased at other times.
Chun Niang bought some pieces of cloth at the cloth shop and asked the cloth shop clerk to deliver the cloth to the mule cart.
After that, I went to the store and bought two packs of salt to pickle the fish.
I also bought a lot of brown sugar, rock sugar, frosted sugar cubes, fried candies, and cloud cakes.
One pound per pack, I bought eight packs of each kind. The oil paper on the outer packaging was pasted with red paper with the words "good luck" and "good luck" written on it. During the New Year, I went to visit other people's houses and these were the gifts.
I also bought a lot of mutton, pork, and big roosters. I saw someone selling pheasants and hares, so I bought a few of each.
Returning from the market, the mule cart was already full of things.
Yingbao also bought a lot of items, some for her parents and younger brothers, and some New Year's gifts for other people in the family.
She also went to Li Langzhong's medicine shop and bought many kinds of medicinal materials and spices, and asked the boy to chop some of them into pieces, and let him grind some into powder with a roller.
On the way back, Yingbao handed the cousin a bunch of candied haws, and she and her mother also made a bunch of them.
The rest was taken back to the older siblings and two younger brothers to eat.
Chun Niang didn't want to eat her daughter's snacks, so she couldn't bear it and stuffed the candied haws into her mouth.
"It's delicious. Mom, you must try it." Yingbao smiled and took a bite of the candied haws in her hand, which was sour and sweet.
Chun Niang had no choice but to take the candied haws and eat it.
Many years ago, her husband bought it for her to eat, but she didn't expect that her little girl would buy it for her now.
Holding my daughter in one hand and holding the candied haws in the other, I felt like I was young again.
