Chapter 381 Gourd Story - Monkey delivers medicine
What's the strange thing? When the guests looked up, they saw dozens of monkeys on the roof. Each monkey was holding something in his hand, whether it was wild fruits or herbs. When they saw the owner coming out, they ran down to the ground one after another.
, pointed to the thing in his hand, squeaked, and then put the thing in front of him. It turned out that these monkeys came to congratulate them, and the wild fruits and herbs were their gifts. Seeing such strange things, the former
The congratulators who came to congratulate made way for an open space and looked around curiously.
The Monkey King came forward, holding the monkey he rescued last time, and bowed to the couple. He pointed at the wild fruits and herbs and squeaked, as if to say, these things
It was very valuable. It took them a long time to collect it in the mountains. I asked the couple to accept it. He took a wild fruit and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and the taste was indeed extraordinary. Then he looked at the herbs.
, most of which are precious medicinal materials that grow on cliffs and dangerous places in deep mountains. I thanked them hurriedly and invited them to sit down and watch the ceremony. The monkey king pointed to the roof with a squeak, as if he wanted to see more clearly from the roof.
It is not necessary to take a seat.
Anyway, the habits of monkeys are different from those of humans. The couple took out a lot of fruits, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. and put them in the bag. The monkey king took them and, together with more than a dozen monkeys, scurried back to the roof and sat down in style.
On the ridge, I watched people dancing lions and dragons.
The medicine shop opened, and hundreds of monkeys came to congratulate it. The news spread quickly like a strong wind, and literati wrote poems and essays about it, all of which were related to gods. One day later, no one in the county knew about it.
"The Monkey King Gives Gifts"
On the ridge of the house, a group of monkeys were making noise,
Offer herbs and make lanterns.
The drug store has a new lion dance,
Suddenly a group of monkeys came to offer medicine.
Literati clamored about miracles,
It is said that the white ape came to offer fruit.
The poets and literati clamored,
Miracles are said to be both real and illusory.
At the end of the opening ceremony, under everyone's attention, the monkey king and his monkeys jumped back to the virgin forest from the ridge of the house. The couple carefully looked at the herbs they sent, and they were all rare.
The rare medicinal materials I saw were very valuable, but they had nothing to do with the medicinal materials used to treat carbuncle in my own medical clinic.
"Madam, I have an idea. We open another medicine shop next to the medical center and ask the monkey brothers to help collect Chinese medicinal materials. We will give them food for the winter in exchange." Ye Dimin said to Zhou excitedly while sorting out the medicinal materials.
The young lady said: "Our skills are definitely not comparable to those of monkeys. In addition, the medical clinic has opened. From now on, I will have less time to collect medicines. If I leave it to them, I can spend more time with my wife."
"I don't want this guy to look honest, but he is actually a literary man. He is born with the ability to please his wife and does not need to be taught." The guest said with a smile: "I have heard that monkeys are trained to make bananas, but I have never heard of monkeys being trained to pick herbs. I don't know.
What kind of teaching is it?"
"Well, animals can also get injured. During the millions of years of evolution in nature, many animals have learned herbal medicine instinctively. Monkeys are particularly smart animals. For example, monkey ginger, monkey grass, etc. originated from monkeys.
Heal your own injuries." Jin Huabin pondered for a while and said: "Not to mention the fairy tales. Monkeys' language is not as complicated as humans, and there are only dozens of meanings that come and go. They also like to imitate humans by nature.
After Ye Dimin took out the leaves and plants to demonstrate to them, they learned the action immediately. By the way, what kind of vegetables are you picking up today?"
"Let's have a fruit platter first." The guest said, "You're not in a hurry to eat."
"Drunk Flowers in Spring, Fruit Platter"
A variety of colors, bringing together all aspects of life. Colorful and delicious, the food is intoxicating.
The sweet and sour flavors complement each other, and the yellow, red, blue and green colors compete with each other. The color is three points better than that of spring flowers, and the taste is nine points sweet.
The fruits used are all produced locally in Xianju. Although they are common, they taste good and the platter is beautiful. Especially the children started to fight for them one after another. After eating, Jin Huabin continued the story.
You need funds to open a medicine shop. When the couple went home and told Father Zhou, Zhou's father smiled and replied: "My father will pay for the money for the shop and the food for the monkeys. However, there is a saying in Shangyan."
Shang, the father will get 30% of the share."
Father Zhou was very happy these days. After his daughter married him, there was a strange incident of a monkey offering medicine. Scholars wrote him into the story and performed it on the stage, making him a celebrity in the county. And he played a positive role.
The role made him feel more face-saving. He was glad that his daughter had found the right person. In Monkey, he discovered a big business opportunity with the sensitivity of a businessman. Even if his daughter and son-in-law did not come to him, he still wanted to discuss it with them.
.
Just after getting married, the couple started to build a drug store again. Zhou's father was very wealthy and bought three stores in one go. He hired the shopkeeper and six clerks and prepared to start a big business. His wife was capable, so it was up to her to decorate the drug store.
With one hand in hand, Ye Dimin brought the monkeys' favorite foods, fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, etc. to the virgin forest, found the group of monkeys, and told them their purpose. The monkeys were smiling happily, squeaking and dancing around. But now, there was no fruit.
Seasonal food is also guaranteed.
The opening of the drug store was very low-key. The couple only invited two tables of close relatives and friends. In addition, one table was empty. Instead of dishes, what was placed on the table was fruits and snacks. The guests were surprised. It was not July 7th.
, what are you doing preparing a table of fruits? The dishes were all served, Ye Dimin was watching at the door, but had not given the order to start the banquet. After a while, there was a noise on the roof, and more than a dozen monkeys, each carrying a bag on their back, jumped
It turned out that these fruit snacks were prepared for this group of special guests.
"Heart of a Monkey King"
Xian couple, prepare fruits and vegetables,
Invite mountain guests to reward benefactors.
Learn from monkeys and learn from others,
Soon they started grabbing fruits again.
The monkey comes to greet you as a distinguished guest,
I feel restless and restless.
Chaos arose for a while,
But he is truly pure of heart.
There is a saying that it is impossible to tell monkeys to obey the rules. When it was served to the table, a dozen monkeys looked like human beings. Within ten minutes, they showed their true colors and began to grab the food. Even the monkey king
He couldn't hold it back and made the guests burst into laughter. Finally, the monkey king got angry, screamed a few times, and slapped the monkey several times, knocking the monkey on his head. Only then did he become more obedient, and the guests
Thunder fell.
The medicinal materials were available, and the publicity stunt was there, but it would still take some time to turn the raw medicinal materials into mature medicine. The couple and six clerks got busy, starting to dry the medicinal materials and process them. Two of the guests invited this time
A scholar from Tongjiang Academy wrote this strange incident into a play and named it Ling Yuan Xian Yao. Even before the medicine shop opened, it was full of supernatural colors.
The first batch of new medicines was prepared, and everything was ready except for the east wind. The couple asked a Feng Shui master to pick an auspicious day and prepare for the official opening.
