The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 109 Buying Guillotine
"Ye Qiu, you can keep the pulp when the time comes. I'll make it when I come back. I'll go into the city and send the pine resin to the pharmacy. I haven't sent it for a long time, and it has accumulated a lot." Ye Qiu fed the rabbit and turned around. Seeing that Chu Ying was walking away slowly with the basket on her back, the child was full of energy now, much better than when Wang Naiyuan got married before.

When Chu Ying arrived at the pharmacy, she didn't see the old man with a white beard. She only saw the young man from last time watching the medicine boy process the medicinal materials in the backyard. It's hard to know the details.

"Give it to me." The young man raised his eyes to look at himself, with a natural charm all over his brows, Chu Ying was stunned when she saw it, and hurriedly handed the basket on her back to the drug boy.

When I saw him before, he looked as sick as paper, but now his complexion is so good, "62 catties, please get the money over there." Chu Ying turned the back basket towards the accountant, and asked him to put the money directly into it.

"2 taels and 1 qian 70 wen, do you want to count?"

Chu Ying turned around and said with a smile: "No need, we are old acquaintances, you can trust me, help me cover the sackcloth... Thank you."

When Chu Ying was about to go out the back door, she saw several people carrying a few guillotines from the carriage. The guillotines were probably used for guillotining medicinal materials, and the knives looked quite thick. "Why are there so many?"

"This guillotine still hurts some hard medicinal materials. Many owners have ordered a few more, and sent the blunt ones to be repaired." The ones I bought were even better, Chu Ying beamed with joy at the thought,

"Young master, there are so many guillotines, can you sell me one?"

"What's your use?" Xue Zhiyao looked down at the child, who was very charming and cute when he smiled.

Chu Ying lowered her head and thought about what kind of lie she was going to make up. After all, this guillotine is not commonly used by ordinary people. "My pony is small, and it was very weak when I bought it. It prefers the ones that eat broken fodder."

Xue Zhiyao smiled wryly, the child didn't even look like he was lying, and the little hands clasping their fingernails looked so unnatural.

"8 coins, you can take one. If you are too late, you can take it to the blacksmith's shop and say it's from Xue's medicine shop. He will polish it for you without charging any money." Chu Ying, the guillotine, had asked The price of other houses is also at the price of six or seven yuan, but it is still necessary to pay more for polishing yourself, so it is better to reluctantly buy his for the future.

"You take it yourself." Chu Ying turned her back, facing him with the basket.

Xue Zhiqian asked the drug boy next to him to take the copper coins, and asked someone to carry the guillotine into her back basket, "It's still quite heavy, can you move it?"

"If I can move it, I can move it, then I'll go first." Even Chu Ying would have to move it step by step, but this guillotine is much heavier than others, and it seems that there are quite a lot of materials used.

When she was about to walk to the door, Chu Ying remembered that she still needed to see a doctor, but she didn't know if there was anyone else in this pharmacy who could see a doctor because her grandfather wasn't there.

"Excuse me, can I see a doctor? The grandfather who came last time is not here."

"What's wrong with your shoulders and hands?" Xue Zhiyao took Chu Ying to the consultation room and felt her pulse. The child was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. It's so serious, and the pulse condition that grandpa said before is different from this. It seems that the coldness in her body seems to be reduced, and this cannot be solved by a few doses of medicine.

"What kind of medicine did you take before? It wasn't the one prescribed by the old man." Seeing the serious expression on the young man's face, Chu Ying didn't know how to answer, she really didn't know what kind of medicine she was taking before.

"I don't know."

"I'll prescribe some medicine, and you can adjust it again. Don't take the last medicine. If you find the medicine, please bring it to me." It is very likely that the child took medicine that aggravated the cold syndrome, and then grandpa gave it to him. She prescribed a new medicine, plus she didn't take the previous medicine, so she recovered so quickly.

However, this pulse condition cannot be diagnosed once, it takes several times to discover the cause, so the first diagnosis can only be seen to be caused by the cold air brought out by the mother's womb.But usually the cold air from the mother's womb can be rectified after two or three years of treatment when she was young, but this child obviously took the wrong medicine to cause the disease and has been ill, and now she has to take the right medicine again Conditioning for four or five years.

"Come back for a follow-up visit after taking the medicine. Although you have been feeling better recently, you should not be too tired. After all, your body is worse than ordinary people." Chu Ying knew her own body, but Chu Ying refused to admit defeat, and every day There must be no less exercise, just to enhance your own resistance.

"Okay, thanks." It didn't cost much this time, 10 doses of medicine only cost 8 qian, Chu Ying dug out the money and gave it to the medicine boy, and went to the bamboo weaving shop to get the two ready-made bamboos Basket hurried home, and had to make the paper with Ye Qiu before scraping it off.

By the time Chu Ying returned, Ye Qiu had already mashed all the steamed wheat ingredients into a puree, put them in a wooden barrel and was lighting a fire to make paper, and put the almost mashed wheat ingredients in the cooking stove.

The three big barrels of pulp in the baking paper house are to be completed today. In fact, baking paper does not need much effort. "I bought a guillotine, and it might be better to crush the wheat before retting it. Let me come, I haven't eaten yet."

"I don't eat anymore, so what do I do to save some money. I'll go make some pancakes, what if I'm starved to death? Your body looks better and you just treat me like this? See if I don't beat you." Chu Ying Seeing Ye Qiu's hands in mid-air wanting to drop but not daring to do so, he felt it was funny.

"Hurry up and warm up the pancakes for me." Chu Ying took a piece of wood and connected it to the wood connected to the brush, so that it would take less time to press the brush up, although the wood was tied together with a rope. It can also be used for a while.

When Ye Qiu finished making Chu Ying, she would sit on a higher wooden pier, press the wood on one side of the room, brush the paper pulp on the bluestone board, and work while gnawing on the pancakes, while Ye Qiu would bake the baked paper on the other end. When uncovering, also pay attention to the fire, so that the two sides operate together to save the time of stopping to take the shovel to peel off the paper.

Chu Ying originally wanted Ye Qiu to cut the hemp first, so she could bake the paper here so that she could peel the hemp by the fire at night, but Ye Qiu was afraid that Chu Ying would be tired, so she thought it would be good to start cutting the hemp tomorrow.

Chu Ying was indeed a little tired after carrying the guillotine all the way back. She waited for the paper to be finished at night and first cut out two long bamboo baskets and packed it before going to sleep.

When I waited to get up, I saw that the outer hall was already full of packaged papers, and Ye Qiu, who usually got up early, was still asleep. Chu Ying went out quietly and took a sickle to the hemp field. Although it was summer, the morning was still quite cool. Chu Ying put the sickle aside and peeled some hemp skin with the method Wang Naiyuan taught yesterday, and then cut some back when it was hot.

When Ye Qiu came, Chu Ying had already peeled off three handfuls of ramie husks, and the ground was also scattered with ramie leaves and stems. The two of them tore it up together, only hearing the sound of rattling and falling Ramie leaves.

"When the time comes, pick some fresh and tender leaves and go back to make ramie glutinous rice cake for you." Chu Ying only knew that the ramie root could be used as medicine.

"Are the leaves still edible?"

"Of course, it can be used as feed. It's good to feed pigs, and rabbits can eat it too, but the hemp leaves are hot, and rabbits may not be able to bear it if they eat too much." Chu Ying straightened her waist and looked at the grass blown by the wind. The hemp leaves that are turning over and over are a piece of white, and when they are turned over, they will be a sea of ​​green. It is quite a sight to look at these leaves over and over again.
