The Resplendent Farming Apothecary

Chapter 32: The annual big drug collection

Views:

"Did you do it?" Yao Sheng held the Compendium of Materia Medica, the treasure of the Yao family, in his hands, and studied it ecstatically. It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of the precious disciple. It was the disciple who told him that only if he understood it thoroughly could he pass on more pharmacological knowledge and pharmaceutical skills to her. Although his disciple is much more proficient than him in some aspects, he still lacks in basic skills.

In the process of studying this precious book, the old Yaosheng felt that his pharmaceutical level has made a great leap in these days, and he will definitely benefit from it!

Gu Ye kept his head down and practiced concocting calamus. After the calamus is collected, a copper knife is used to scrape off the top layer of crust, steamed with tender mulberry branches, and then sun-dried. Hearing this, she didn't lift her head: "What did I do? Master, why are you so clueless?"

"Pretend, just pretend!" Yaosheng's gaze shifted from the book to the unusually green calamus in his disciple's hands, wondering where she collected such fresh calamus at this time of year.

He found a lot of unsolved secrets in Tu'er, but he didn't plan to ask, let alone say it. Not only because of the importance he attached to this disciple, but also because the Hall of Hidden Soul Hall warned him to keep his mouth shut before he came, otherwise he would never be able to speak!

That Hades is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he will definitely not be open to him just because he is a well-known medicine sage. He didn't dare and wouldn't make fun of his own life.

Gu Ye put the shaved calamus in a pot and steamed it, then added a handful of firewood to the stove, turned around and looked at Yaosheng with a smile, a little smug in his small eyes: "Hehe, this is God's mess for them. The punishment for speaking has nothing to do with me. Whoever made them smear you, Master, deserves it!"

"You!" Yaosheng was even more sure that it was the hands and feet of his disciples, and was a little touched by her defending herself, but still solemnly warned her, "Although for us Yaojia, poison is readily available, but after all, it is against the harmony of heaven. Use it with caution!"

He knew that the baby disciple suffered a lot of crimes when he was a child, and he did not want her to become an extreme and vicious poison doctor, so he persuaded her with all his heart.

Gu Ye smiled and said, "Master, don't worry! That kind of medicine just explodes the toxins in their bodies at the same time. It looks scary on the surface, but it's actually good for their bodies. You too You know, if there are too many toxins in the body, you will get sick sooner or later."

"Is it really harmless to the body?" Yao Sheng doubted.

Gu Ye rolled his eyes: "Of course it's true, it's more true than real gold! Master, there aren't many medicinal herbs at home, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to see."

"Be careful," Yao Sheng couldn't help but remind him, "This Cangmang Mountain is in the north, and those medicinal materials that originate in the south should be bought by your grandfather in the town."

Gu Ye touched her nose embarrassedly. Was she too careless? Since the last time she brought back a basket of fresh Panax notoginseng, Master looked at her like a monster. Oops, don't you just forget that the medicinal herb Sanqi is not produced in the north! However, her master is quite interesting, obviously full of doubts in her heart, but she never asks why. Well, to have such a master here, it's quite a relief.

"I just don't know my grandfather's family background, so I can't help but make such a toss." Buying crude medicine is very expensive.

"Oh, Master, why did you hit me?" Gu Ye held his head and looked at Yao Sheng in confusion, his face full of grievances.

"Stupid boy, are you going to keep the concocted medicinal herbs in the utility room for food? We are worried that the medicinal herbs concocted by our Medicine Saint can't be exchanged for money? Really, why did I accept you like this? Stupid apprentice!" Yaosheng walked out of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back, with a bit of joy in his expression, making him a genius apprentice, it feels so cool!

"I'm not stupid. Have you ever seen an unforgettable idiot? You are jealous of my talent and beauty, alas, geniuses are always lonely!" Gu Ye shamelessly flattered himself, talking about himself All funny.

She got up and went into the utility room. Inside are wooden shelves with bags of concocted medicinal herbs on them. Gu Ye classified these medicinal materials into categories: some were made by her master as she demonstrated, and the products produced by Yaosheng must be high-quality products, and the price will definitely not be low; some are due to some small mistakes in the process of concocting her, but the efficacy is better than ordinary medicinal materials If it is better, it should be no problem to earn back the capital; there are others, which she concocted successfully, regardless of the quality and efficacy of the master, it should be able to make a small profit.

Looking at these medicinal materials, Gu Ye seemed to see a pile of white silver in front of her eyes, and bright stars flashed in her big eyes.

This little money fan can't sit still, and hurriedly ran into his grandfather's room. Seeing that Gu Xiao was rubbing medicated oil on her legs, she hurriedly took over, massaging and applying hot compresses on her legs, with a very attentive attitude.

Gu Xiao smiled and watched his granddaughter busy in front of him, and sighed in his heart: It's still a caring girl. Seeing that her granddaughter did not leave after finishing all this, she sat down beside his kang, looking like she had something to say, and asked strangely, "Ye'er, if you have anything to say, just say it, our grandfather and grandson. What else is there to be hypocritical?"

"Grandpa, our utility room is almost full of medicinal herbs," Gu Ye hinted vaguely.

However, Gu Xiao obviously didn't understand what she meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Can't put down the herbs you made? It doesn't matter, grandpa will nail some wooden frames for you and put them outside, and you can put them on top as much as you like. ."

"No! I want to sell those herbs and buy some crude medicines to practice." Gu Ye explained his purpose straight to the point.

But Gu Xiao misunderstood her meaning again: "Oh, there are not enough herbs! It's grandpa's negligence. In this winter, there are fewer herbs that can be collected on the mountain. No wonder you are short of crude drugs to practice. Don't be afraid, grandpa will be ready tomorrow. Go to town and buy the herbs for you, we have no shortage of money!"

"No, grandpa." Gu Ye hurriedly stopped the grandfather who was going to open the cabinet to get the silver taels, "The medicinal herbs can only play their role when they are sold, so they are always piled up in the utility room. Haven't the fruits of my labor these days gone to waste?"

Gu Xiao lowered his head and glanced at his granddaughter's little hands that had become rough due to the practice of cooking. He nodded with a serious expression, and said, "Well, you are right! You can't let your efforts go to waste. Well, I'll go to Jimin Hall in town tomorrow. Ask the price."

"Grandpa, can you take me there? I also want to go to the town to see the market of medicinal herbs." Gu Ye made a request. She wanted to see which medicinal herbs sold the best and could earn more money. It's a pity that the potions in her space are obviously effective, but they can't be exchanged for money. She has to learn the most primitive methods of concocting again. Alas, heroes are useless!

"Okay! Grandpa will take you to eat delicious food!" Gu Xiao touched his granddaughter's fluffy little head and agreed to her request with a smile.

The next day before dawn, the grandfather and grandson got up. Gu Ye instructed his grandfather to put bags of medicinal herbs in baskets and put them on the horseback. Gu Ming pouted his mouth unhappily and followed to help. Grandpa and sister went to town, but they couldn't take him, so depressed!

"Brother, don't be sad, I'll bring you something delicious!" Gu Ye was carried by his grandfather to the donkey of the village chief's house, waved his paws at his brother, and followed his grandfather out of the village.

The mountain road is rough, and only one horse can walk. Fortunately, both the war horse under Gu Xiao's crotch and the little donkey are all used to this kind of mountain road, although the speed of walking with medicinal herbs is not too slow. On the slightly flat mountain road, Gu Xiao urged the horse to trot for a while.

At first, he was afraid that the weak and weak little granddaughter wouldn't be able to keep up, but every time he turned around, she sat firmly on the back of the donkey, with skilled riding movements, not like a novice. Thinking of the grandchildren riding his war horses in front of the house and behind the house when they are free, I am somewhat clear in my heart.

The grandfather and grandson set off at dawn, and did not arrive in the town until late at night. Knocking on the only inn in the town, after the grandfather and grandson washed up, they ate something hastily and then went to bed separately.

Early the next morning, Gu Ye was woken up by the sound of people on the street. Huh? The last time I came to the town, it was still deserted. Why is it so lively today? She got dressed, washed in a hurry, and left the door of the inn without having any time to eat breakfast.

As soon as I went out, I smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. On both sides of the main road of this unnamed town, there are dozens of stalls, large and small, all of which are medicinal herbs. From time to time, customers stop to bargain with the stall owner.

Gu Xiao had already heard the news he wanted, and came behind his granddaughter to explain her doubts: "Our Cangmang Mountains are rich in wild herbs, and many people make a living by collecting them. Every year from the eighth to the thirteenth day of the winter, there will be Businessmen from other places came to buy medicinal materials, which gradually formed a scale. We happened to meet this herbal gathering. Didn't you say that you want to buy crude drugs, you can go and have a look. At least the price is cheaper than buying from a drug dealer Much lower."

Gu Ye looked at booth by booth, and most of them were raw medicines that had not been prepared before. Even if there were occasionally prepared medicinal materials, the methods were poor and the medicinal properties were very general. Looking all the way, she also met an acquaintance!

"Doctor Wu, you are also here to sell medicinal herbs!" Wu Angelica's stall was filled with common medicinal herbs that could be easily found in the Cangmang Mountains, but they were all simply concocted, so the business seemed to be better than other stalls. However, most of the people who buy his medicinal materials are some doctors who walk around the streets, and big customers don't look down on his crude concocting methods.

Wu Danggui looked up at Gu Yeye and grandson, then quickly lowered his head and went to bargain with others. Colleagues are enemies. In his eyes, Gu Ye, who has studied medicine with Yaosheng, is competing with him for a job, so naturally he will not have a good face!

Seeing that Gu Ye seemed to be very interested in his medicinal materials, Wu Danggui felt a little complacent. Little girl, it's amazing to learn medicine for a few days. In the future, you won't have to buy medicinal materials from Lao Tzu. Hmph, when the time comes, I must slaughter you hard!
