After this idea came up, Gu Shiba Niang had a strong desire to go to the Hezhong County Pharmacy Association.
At first, Gu Shiba Niang decided to follow Peng Yizhen's suggestion and go to the Great Medicine Club simply to see what drama Peng Yizhen had arranged.
They had been dealing with each other for so long, and Peng Yizhen never said anything except collecting medicine and paying for it. She was a little bit out of breath. Today's conversation finally showed some signs.
It seemed like a casual chat, but every sentence aroused Gu Shiba Niang's interest just right.
He generously suggested purchasing medicinal materials and even lent her the capital. No one would be tempted by such a good thing. Of course, as Peng Yizhen, who had seen how this little girl made shopkeeper Zhou who wanted to scheme against him, throw out this After saying something tempting but also arousing alarm, he immediately used Gu Shiba Niang's identity as a poet and calligrapher to allow him to retreat safely.
A girl from a family of poets and writers wouldn't dare let her become a craftsman? Gu Shiba Niang sneered. If she really thought that being in the concocting business was taboo for a wealthy lady like her, why would she make this slip of the tongue again and again
What's more, he also introduced the Buddha Master Dong. Yes, the golden Buddha accepted disciples...evaluated medicinal materials...
For a person who has some skills in preparing medicinal materials and has only been questioned by Shopkeeper Zhou, who urgently needs to use this skill to support his family. Peng Yizhen does not believe that this person will not be tempted, and Gu Shiba Niang does not believe that she is now It's very tempting.
What exactly does Peng Yizhen want to do with himself? Gu Shiba Niang is already very curious. She is sure that there will be an answer at the Great Medicine Conference.
Now, when you go to the Great Medicine Club, you can not only get answers, but you can also show off your Scorpion. It's really a killing two birds with one stone.
The production of Qingshui's whole scorpion is actually very simple, but since the first recipe for processing medicine recorded the method of drying it with fire, no one has thought of other methods. Besides, the processing of medicinal materials is no better than other industries, and new things will always come. It is controversial, not to mention a drug that is related to human life. In the processing industry, preservation is the most important tenet.
"Eighteen Mother?" Mrs. Cao couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that the medicine basket was empty after going out early in the morning. However, seeing her daughter's face reddened by the sun but her lips white, she felt even more sour. And distressed, "...you always get up early and go to bed late like this. How can you eat when you are growing..."
She held her daughter's hand. The small soft hand was a little rough to the touch, and there were already thin calluses on her fingers, which were left by digging, washing, and hammering the medicine.
Whether a woman's birth is noble or not, one can tell by looking at her hands. Mrs. Cao couldn't help but shed tears. Will her daughter have a good marriage in the future? Will you be disliked by others...
Gu Shiba Niang was startled when Mrs. Cao grabbed her hand, and she was about to pull it back. Mrs. Cao's hand had already brushed the red and swollen area on her fingertips...
Gu Shiba Niang learned how painful it is to be stung by a scorpion today.
Like a red-hot iron needle piercing her heart, Gu Shiba Niang felt another bang in her head, and subconsciously let out a scream to relieve the sudden increase in pain.
Ms. Cao was so frightened by the scream that she screamed, "Mother Eighteen, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"
Gu Shiba Niang trembled and took her hand back, trembling her pale lips and stammering: "...No..." If she said it was okay at this time, it would be too pretentious and false, so she trembled and said, " …No… I accidentally got… stung by….”
There were many snakes and insects on the mountain. Ms. Cao understood it all at once, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Eighteen Mother..."
She had known that her daughter would be injured. Either she was bitten by a snake or insect, or she fell down while walking, or was cut by a rock... But she never dared to say it, for fear that it would become a reality. She even asked for a magic charm for this. , the result is that what is supposed to come has come...
"It's all useless mother..." She shed tears, took her daughter's hand and looked at the wound.
The redness and swelling had spread, and the entire finger was swollen, with signs of spreading to the palm of the hand.
Gu Shiba Niang hissed and sucked in cold air to fight against the severe pain, and her whole arms kept shaking.
"..It's okay, mother. An old uncle who was collecting firewood took out the stinger for me...and chewed some herbs...It's okay...it just hurts for a while..." Gu Shiniang Comforting Ms. Cao, she took out a handful of grass leaves from her arms with her other hand, "I'll chew it and apply it... Don't be afraid..."
Mrs. Cao's tears became even more urgent when she heard this. She took the grass blade from her daughter's hand, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and applied it to her carefully.
It's okay, how could it be okay? She once heard someone say that someone's child would be stung to death by a scorpion during the summer. This is not a joke, it is true, it can really kill people...
Mrs. Cao couldn't sit still at home for a moment, so she went out to find the doctor. When she came in with the doctor, she was frightened by Gu Shiba Niang in the kitchen and screamed again.
"Eighteen Niang..." Mrs. Cao could no longer speak and stammered, pointing to the small pot on the stove.
The boiling water in the pot was boiling, with scorpions tumbling in it.
Ms. Cao felt dizzy. She shook her head and held on to the pillar. The doctor who came in after her was almost frightened and lost his temper.
Is this family so poor that they are hungry and hungry
"Mom, it's really okay..."
After fishing out the scorpion from the boiling water, the frightened old doctor looked at the wound, prescribed medicine, and sent her out. Gu Shiba Niang continued to comfort Mrs. Cao.
"... No..." Mrs. Cao's face turned pale, and she sat in the yard, shaking her head resolutely, "Throw it out quickly... bear bile is more valuable, is it possible that you still want to hunt bear bile?"
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and comforted her again and again, saying: "I was not careful. I always used small sticks to catch the last one, but I accidentally missed it because I was too happy. Mom, don't worry, you will suffer this." Now I have a better memory, and I will definitely be fine in the future. Look, I will do it for you to see... Look, just use a small stick to pinch it, and then throw it into the small basket... without touching your hands at all..."
Mr. Cao shook his head and said nothing.
"Mom, as long as I do this well this time, I won't have to dig out medicine and catch scorpions by myself in the future. Mom, if you want to enjoy happiness, you have to endure hardship first, right?" Gu Shiba Niang sighed and said while holding Cao Cao's hand. "Mom, this is our opportunity to make money... I don't want to be forced to pay debts and block the door of my house all day long. I don't want to sell my house to live with relatives and friends."
Mrs. Cao looked at her daughter for a moment, lowered her head to wipe her tears, then raised her head and said, "That's good, but let me catch the scorpion."
Gu Shiba Niang stretched out her arms and hugged Mrs. Cao, feeling hot in her heart. It was great to have her mother by her side. Only her mother would obey her unconditionally, believe in her and protect her.
"By the way, mother, the doctor just now seems to be from Qianjintang?" She thought of something and asked hurriedly.
Mrs. Cao nodded and hurriedly comforted her as a doctor.
"I'm not talking about this..." Gu Shiba Niang shook her head and said. Before she finished speaking, she heard someone knocking on the door, accompanied by Zhou Liniang's voice.
