The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 136 Strange (1)
"Ten taels!" The man hurriedly said, "When you are strong, you can buy it back and use it to pull a cart and plow the fields, and it is a cow that can also give birth to calves. Ten taels of silver is really not expensive!"

"Little girl, don't listen to him, I only need [-] taels for this one, look at it!" Those people who hadn't planned to talk to Leng Ping before saw that Leng Ping really wanted to buy it, and they all stepped forward to sell their cattle.

"Little girl, cows can't run fast, let's buy a horse, I only need 30 taels of silver for this horse!" A horse seller also came up with the attitude of giving it a try.

The horse was already an old horse, its hair was about to fall out, and there seemed to be lice on its body, and it kept shaking back and forth, so Leng Ping pulled Hua'er straight back.

"I don't need a carriage right now, I want an ox cart!" Leng Ping thought of those people in Taiping Village. She had sold some seeds to them before, and if she rented out cattle, it would also be an income!Only rich families can afford horses!
"That's right, an old horse, hurry up and don't pass it on to us!" The cattle sellers booed immediately and drove the man away.

The owner of the cow just now saw so many people rushing up, he was a little panicked, so he lowered the price and said, "If you want nine taels of silver, it really can't be less. I mowed the cow day and night and fed it for three days. Years, baby is very, really can't be less!"

The man kept rubbing his hands, with a smile on his face, and looked at Leng Ping with pleading eyes, "If the child wasn't sick and needed money urgently, I definitely wouldn't sell it!"

This time, the man revealed the purpose of the money, sincerely, not like a fake!
Leng Ping also nodded, "I want nine taels!"

The man immediately bowed gratefully to Leng Ping, and after Leng Ping paid nine taels of silver, he carefully handed over the reins to Leng Ping.

The ancient Leng Ping's body is still too thin, and it is really difficult to pull the head of a cow that weighs several hundred catties.

"Little girl, if not, where is your home? If it's not far away, I'll take you home!" The man was honest and said hastily.

Leng Ping can do it after thinking about it. Now she has a bank note of 150 taels, and she has to buy a car, and it is really inconvenient to walk around with a cow, so she nodded immediately, thank you, first Follow that person to the side to get a car.

Although the car only cost six taels of silver, it was only like this, Leng Ping would not have much cash to go into the city, and had to buy red paper for the beams and food for the workers, so Leng Ping immediately decided to exchange the bank notes. .

Fortunately, that person was not far from Yangshu Village, not far from Taiping Village, and the more he talked, the person knew Hao Ren's father. In this way, Leng Ping didn't worry anymore, and agreed to hire that person for fifty renminbi. They sent it back, so they went to the bank to exchange the silver without worry.

The 150 taels of silver bills were first exchanged for 50 taels of scattered silver, and the rest were exchanged for 100 taels of silver bills.

After coming out of the bank, Leng Ping went straight to the vegetable market. It is summer now, when all kinds of vegetables are on the market, and they are easy to sell. After a while, I bought a basket and cut two catties of meat. Chili, Leng Ping suddenly remembered the modern hot pot, so she bought a lot.

On the way back, since she was free anyway, Leng Ping asked the man about the child's illness.

"I don't know why, but suddenly I can't speak well. I asked Mr. Gu from the Sifang Pharmacy to look at it. He said that it was an exogenous wind-cold evil that burned the lungs. And in the end, high fever persisted, convulsions and fainting, no, there is really no way, I plan to go to the doctor again, but the family really has no money, so..." The man told his child When the disease comes, the face is full of sadness.

Leng Ping listened to the man's narration, it seems that the fever caused by sore throat is the most common thing for modern children, that is, there is inflammation in the body. In Chinese medicine, it is the disease of sore throat. There are many factors of the disease, such as the exogenous wind-cold evil that the man just said, burning the lungs, or it may be that the kidney yin cannot moisten the throat, and the fire is inflamed, which is caused by yin deficiency. Leng Ping also kindly advised, "Then Sifang Pharmacy, you'd better not go to it, why don't you go to Ping'an Pharmacy for a try!"

Although the Ping An Pharmacy can't guarantee that the medicinal materials are genuine, at least Leng Ping doesn't know, so there is still hope!

The man wondered: "I heard that the doctor in Ping'an Drugstore is too young and inexperienced. Let me see, let Gu Lao see it. Gu Lao is an old doctor with a good reputation!"

Seeing that he decided to do so, Leng Ping didn't say any more, just sighed in her heart, hoping that the unscrupulous Xia Liming would give some good medicine for the sake of the child's high fever!
The ox cart walked slowly for a quarter of an hour, and it was still far away from the village. Leng Ping looked at the reins but was a little moved. Now that she has bought an ox cart, the children in her family are still young, and she can only rely on her in the future. She had to learn how to drive a car sooner or later, so she immediately said to the man, "Brother Yang, why don't I give it a try and teach me how to drive!"

When Yang Tong heard it, he said worriedly: "The little eldest sister is a woman, and she is young, is it really okay?"

Leng Ping nodded, "If you buy something, you have to learn it. You can't find a driver every time you go out!"

After hearing this, Yang Tong felt that it made sense, so he moved aside and let Leng Ping sit beside him. While handing the reins to Leng Ping, he said in a low voice: "This cow is very docile, as long as you Just command its direction, you see, tap the left, pull the rope on the left to turn left, tap the right, pull the rope on the right to turn right, and when it stops, you can yell 'moo' and it will be done!"

Feeling strange, Leng Ping tried a few times on the spot, and the big yellow ox was really obedient. At this moment, Leng Ping became addicted to playing, pulling on the left side for a while, and pulling on the right side for a while, and the big yellow cow was also dizzy under her command. The next time, I almost ran off the path and rushed into the field beside the road, and the flowers screamed in fright.

But Leng Ping felt the excitement. Driving an ox cart is much easier than driving a car. There are few passers-by in the countryside, so it's very pleasant!
Leng Ping played all the way back home, and just stopped at the door of the house, she saw Shi Shi standing outside the door waiting for them, and the first thing she said when she saw them coming back was: "Sister-in-law, your grandma is here!"

"Sister-in-law, your grandma and uncle from Lishu Village are here, and they are waiting inside now!" Shitou said, and hurriedly pulled Leng Ping inside.

Leng Ping was dragged by the stone, so she didn't have time to think, so she could only say to Yang Tong first, "Brother Yang, help me drive the ox cart in first, and then go to my house to settle the wages!"

Yang Tong quickly responded, drove the ox cart into the yard, unloaded the ox again, tied it to a wooden post, packed everything up, and prepared to ask Leng Ping for wages, and hurried back.
