A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 30 Unscrupulous dog doctor
Xia looked again, the snake skin looked familiar, and then remembered, when I saw it last night, it was not only the skin, but also the body of the snake.At that time, she asked Meng Yan to take this creepy thing away and throw it away. Why did she not only throw it in her kitchen after one night, but only the skin was left? !
That's what Meng Yan forgot to throw away when she was dealing with it in the morning...

"Meng Yan!"

Mrs. Xia came out in a hurry, but Meng Yan's bowl of snake soup was snatched away by Mrs. Xia before she could taste it.

"Mother, don't spill it, don't spill it, you can try that tonic, it tastes really good!"

Xia said: "You dare to eat poisonous snakes, and you are not afraid of being poisoned!"

After saying that, he splashed it directly, and Meng Yan held his forehead, feeling very painful.

Seeing that the pot was gone and the bowl was empty, Mrs. Xia went back to the kitchen in peace.

Meng Yan sat desolately on a cold bench under the eaves, watching the wild hens in the yard exulting, clucking and eating her snake soup.

"Ah Nai." Yin Heng called her in the room.

Yin Heng still held a bowl of snake soup in his hand, which was brought in by Meng Yan first, and successfully escaped Xia's poisonous hand.

Meng Yan came in, and he said, "Let's eat together."

So with a bowl of snake soup and a small spoon, Meng Yan took a sip, and Yin Heng took another sip.Meng Yan smacked her lips, the taste was good, and suddenly she felt like a blessing in disguise.

In the afternoon, Meng Yan was going to sell the ginseng he dug up for money.

This village is more than [-] miles away from the city, and it takes more than a day to go back and forth.Right now, she is not going to the city, but looking for a doctor who walks in the countryside to see if she can change hands.

Yin Heng had never cared about money in the past, and Meng Yan didn't understand the purchasing power of money in this era, so the two looked at each other at a loss as to how much this ginseng could sell for.

Fortunately, I learned from the Xia family that one tael of silver can buy two shi of grain, which is basically enough for a rural family's annual expenses.Meng Yan calculated in her heart that this ginseng should be worth two or three taels of silver.

As expected, the money in exchange should be enough to build a nice new house.

There is only one Dr. Yang who walks around in this village, and he occasionally goes to the city to fetch medicinal materials.

Meng Yan went to look for him at his residence, but he made an appointment to go out to see a doctor and didn't come back until mid-afternoon.

Doctor Yang saw her at that time, paused for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Are you here to get medicine for your mother?"

In the past, because of Xia's illness, Meng Yan also had contact with Dr. Yang.Especially when Meng Yan went up the mountain to find no medicine, she would bring all the things she could change at home to Dr. Yang to change the medicine.

It's just that there is a sense of a mouse in Dr. Yang's smile who took the initiative to deliver food to the door. In the past, Meng Yan couldn't detect it, but now she can understand it at a glance.

Meng Yan squinted his eyes, noncommittal.

Dr. Yang opened his medicine box and said, "Is it possible that your mother's cold symptoms have worsened again? I have suitable medicine here, do you want to try it?" He then looked at Meng Yan, "Today What do you give in exchange?"

Meng Yan said, "I'm not here to change my mother's medicine today."

The smile on Dr. Yang's face disappeared immediately, and he said, "Then what are you here for?"

Meng Yan said: "Two days ago I went to the mountains to gather medicine, and I picked a ginseng. I wanted to ask Dr. Yang for help to see how much it can sell for."

"Ginseng," Dr. Yang's eyes lit up, but he touched his chin pretending to ponder, and said, "I don't know what kind of ginseng it is, show it to me first."

Meng Yan looked at him, and slowly raised a smile on his mouth, a little wicked, and said, "Okay."

She really opened the cloth in front of Dr. Yang, and presented a ginseng lying inside to Dr. Yang in its entirety.

Dr. Yang's eyes were almost glued to it, he stretched out his hand to take it, and observed it for a while, but said: "Meng Yan, this is not ginseng, you are just a grass root that looks very similar to ginseng."

Meng Yan looked disappointed and said, "Ah, so it's not ginseng. I thought it could sell for some money."

Doctor Yang was generous but reluctant: "Seeing how hard you dug, I'll give you ten copper coins. You can sell this to me."

Meng Yan said: "It's not ginseng, so I don't dare to sell it casually. Doctor Yang, give it back to me."

Doctor Yang didn't expect that Meng Yan would not sell it, and said, "Why, ten copper coins are too little for you. Let me tell you, just take this useless grass root elsewhere, and no one will give you a single copper coin."

Meng Yan said: "Oh, since it's such a useless thing, how can I waste Doctor Yang's money. Thank you for your kindness."

Doctor Yang: "Do you think you have too little money? How about this, I'll give you another ten copper coins, that's all right! There can't be any more!"

Meng Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Doctor Yang spends twenty copper coins to buy a whole ginseng from me, and then sells it for a few taels of silver. He is really a bodhisattva."

Dr. Yang was exposed, and he couldn't hold back: "I told you that this is not ginseng, and I give you twenty copper coins to think highly of you!"

Meng Yan sneered: "Then you must not look down on me, I am wondering, like Dr. Yang, who says ginseng is grassroots, how can he be a doctor, and is his medical skill trustworthy?"

Seeing that the business failed, Dr. Yang couldn't force him to buy it, otherwise the villagers would know that he was such a scam, and who would dare to seek medical treatment from him in the future?
But he became angry again, unwilling to reconcile, and said: "Well, if you don't sell it, don't sell it. I'll see who else wants to buy your crap!" As he spoke, he pretended to return the ginseng to Meng Yan, However, he tried hard with his hands, trying to cut off the ginseng.

Just destroying its roots will damage its value, not to mention cutting it off, it will definitely be greatly discounted.

However, as soon as Dr. Yang moved his finger, Meng Yan grabbed his finger suddenly and snapped it back.

Doctor Yang's finger suddenly felt severe pain, as if it was about to be broken by Meng Yan.

When he was in pain, his hand naturally loosened, and Meng Yan easily caught his ginseng with a piece of cloth, wrapped it up with one hand, and pressed Dr. Yang's hand down even more. , His finger bones are overwhelmed, and may snap off at any moment.

Doctor Yang yelped in pain, twisted his arms, and twisted his body downwards, trying to relieve the pain a little.He glared at Meng Yan: "You, you dare to break me!"

Meng Yan smiled with the corner of her mouth slanted, and said, "Who made the first move? Huh?"

It's just that Meng Yan continued to exert force on his hands, and Dr. Yang squatted on the ground in pain.

She lowered her head and glanced at the herbs in Dr. Yang's medicine box, fiddled with them a few times, and said, "These are the medicines I came to you to change before? These are the real grass roots after they are dried and the leaves are removed." Right. No wonder my mother’s illness keeps coming back and forth.”
