The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 208 Fresh Medicine (2)
Leng Ping withdrew her spirit from the poppies for a while, looked Situ Zhanchen up and down and said with a smile: "Your mind is refreshed, it seems that you didn't come here to see a doctor this time!"

Situ Zhanchen touched the wound on his shoulder habitually, and said with a low laugh, "It's been a long time ago, I haven't thanked you yet!"

"You gave me the silver, thank you!" Leng Ping raised her eyebrows, pointed at the flower and asked, "Is this flower yours?"

Situ Zhanchen nodded, "Do you know this flower?"

Leng Ping naturally recognized that this is a poppy flower, which is usually planted in autumn and harvested in summer. The leaves are large and smooth, and the flowers are large and showy. There are red, yellow, white, pink, purple and other colors, but there are many flowering periods, usually three days.Although the flowers are beautiful and beautiful, under the beautiful flowers there are opiates that bring great disasters to mankind.Opium is the juice that flows out of the immature fruit of the poppy plant after being cut by a knife. After two or three days, this milky latex gradually dries up and the color changes from white to black. This is opium.

Opium has a very good pain-relieving effect, but it is also extremely harmful. In hospitals, this kind of medicine must have a prescription issued by a doctor, and it is limited.

Leng Ping really did not expect to see poppies in this ancient time.

At this moment, the poppies are blooming beautifully.

"How did you get this flower?" Leng Ping asked instead of answering Situ Zhanchen's words.

Situ Zhanchen said in a low voice, "It was a gift from a foreign friend!"

Leng Ping asked again: "Do you know the function of this flower?"

Situ Zhanchen smiled, "Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it here from heaven, just to find someone who can grow it and get medicine!"

Leng Ping finally understood what the big business Hua Ying was talking about. It turned out that Mr. Situ wanted to find a poppy planter!

Leng Ping hesitated.She saw this poppy flower when she was sent to the countryside for free medical treatment. Some ordinary people who didn't know the inside story planted it to collect opium seeds to cook chicken or something.At that time, she was still going around persuading the people to pull out these poppies, so she knew some tricks to plant poppies, but this poppy is extremely harmful, if it is not used properly...

"The wonder of this flower lies in the fruit. Take out the juice of the fruit, and after two or three days, it will become opium. It can relieve pain, and make people feel a sense of pleasure, and temporarily forget the pain. It's just addictive, so you can't use it too much!" Leng Ping said in a low voice.

Although opium is extremely harmful, it also has an irreplaceable effect, so Leng Ping still doesn't want to give up this poppy flower, "If you don't understand, son, you'd better be careful!"

Hearing what she said, Situ Zhanchen couldn't help being ecstatic in his heart. He finally found the person he wanted, and after thinking about Leng Ping's identity, he quickly made a decision.

"If you can help me grow this flower, you can ask for as much money as you want!" Situ Zhanchen said, taking out a bank note and putting it in front of Leng Ping.

Leng Ping shook her head, "I don't want your money, I can promise you, I will take you one plant today, and return you ten plants next year, how about it?"

Situ Zhanchen smiled slowly: "You really know how to do business. My friend said that one bud can plant thousands of seeds. If you can plant them, next year there will be hundreds of these magical flowers. How dare you Just give me ten plants? Besides, what do I want this flower for, what I want is the medicine that can relieve pain in it!"

Seeing that she couldn't fool him, Leng Ping had no choice but to say: "Yes, I will harvest the medicine for you when the time comes, but I can only give you half of it, and the remaining half is my hard work for more than a year!"

It is still a flower bud now, and the seedlings can only be planted after the flowers fall and the seeds can be harvested. Naturally, the opium cannot be harvested until next autumn. Counting it, it will take nearly a year and a half!
Situ Zhanchen nodded, "Okay, deal!"

Leng Ping nodded, without further ado, stepped forward and pulled the tablecloth, carefully hugged the poppy, and planned to walk out while holding it.

Situ Zhanchen looked at Leng Ping's back with a dazed expression.

I haven't seen her for two years. Leng Ping has grown up a lot. She is 15 years old. Thinking about it, 15 years ago, when he first met Rui'er, he was also at this age. It's just a pity...

"Wait a minute!" Situ Zhanchen suddenly stepped forward and called Leng Ping.

Leng Ping turned to look at him, "What? Do you regret it?"

Situ Zhanchen shook his head, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how to read faces?"

Leng Ping smiled and said: "Naturally, if a person's body is sick, it will be manifested on the skin and face. Chinese medicine is expected to hear and ask. This is the first thing to do!"

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is, can you read and predict?"

Leng Ping slowly curled her lips, "I'm a doctor, not a fortune teller. Your Excellency wants to see Zhang Banxian at the Guanyin Temple in Licheng!"

Leng Ping was a little impatient.

Situ Zhanchen suddenly laughed softly, "Let's go!"

Only then did Leng Ping turn around and walk out contentedly.

"You haven't told me where you live, where can I go to find you?" Situ Zhanchen asked again.

"The Hao family in Taiping Village, Licheng!" Leng Ping shouted, waving her hands without looking back.

Situ Zhanchen nodded.

Hao Dan and Shitou couldn't wait any longer at the gate of Licheng, Hao Ren stood beside them.

Originally, Hao Ren didn't want to go home this time, but when Hao Dan said that Leng Ping went to Lincheng—Yuancheng alone with a shopkeeper who looked like a shopkeeper, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he followed out.

The three of them waited until noon and did not see Leng Ping.

Hao Ren frowned, looking a little anxious.

Does this woman know the danger?A home with a teenage daughter, casually following strangers?Isn't she afraid of...

"Brother, it's sister!" Suddenly, Hao Dan shouted.

Hao Ren quickly raised his eyes, and saw a carriage approaching not far away. Someone in the carriage raised the curtain and greeted them.

"Look at what I got!" Leng Ping couldn't help showing off the poppies.

"Where have you been?" Hao Ren asked in a deep voice, his expression displeased.

"The Chinese medicine to Yuancheng is gone, didn't you tell Hao Dan?" Leng Ping hugged the flower pot, feeling that Hao Ren was making a fuss.

After the divorce in modern times, she was already used to living on her own, and she never thought of asking for protection!

But in this ancient times, Leng Ping forgot that she is still an upright young girl, although her appearance is not alluring, she should at least be pretty.

Hao Ren turned to Hao Dan and said, "Since you're back, hurry home!"

After speaking, Hao Ren was ready to go back to school.

"Brother, where are you going?" Hao Dan shouted hastily.

"Yes, big brother, come home with us!" Shitou also shouted.
