The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The more the wine is produced, the more it will be sold.

Since Gu Liang gave these ‘dealers’ a profit, the Gu family’s Lanxi wine has been in short supply, and they can only increase production.

However, there is no problem with Lanxi wine, but those Bawangzui are a problem. The more Lanxi produces, the more Bawangzui is produced, but the production has increased, but the sales volume has always been the same, without much change.

Gu Liang was a little worried. This Bawangzui can’t be piled up all the time, after all, Bawangzui is the one that makes the most money. For this reason, Gu Liang has thought of a way. He simply distilled Bawangzui again and got a very high-proof liquor, the kind that will catch fire when ignited. If it is distilled again, it can be used as medical alcohol.

Although the alcohol content has increased, few people can drink it because it is too strong. Moreover, after two distillations, the aroma substances of the liquor are much less. If you want to make it fragrant again, you must store it in the cellar for a year or two. However, after storing it in the cellar, Gu Liang still thinks that it will have poor sales.

Gu Liang was worried about it, and his third uncle Gu Boxi came back.

Since Gu Boxi followed Taoist Lingxu to learn medicine, Gu Liang has fewer opportunities to see his third uncle. Gu Boxi only comes back during festivals, not all festivals. The last time was Qingming Festival, and this time he came back was almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and he did not come back during the Dragon Boat Festival in between.

Gu Liang and his third uncle have a life-long friendship, and their relationship is getting better and better. After all, they both know that the other party can risk his life for him.

Gu Boxi, who has not been home for only a few months, was introduced to everything that happened at home by his nephew Gu Liang. There is not much change in the main house, except that another layer of the wall has been added, and there are a few more sheds for storing grain. Gu Liang mainly showed his uncle the back mountain of his family. The ten acres of mountain land of the Gu family basically contracted this small piece of mountain, but only the stone cave was built. At a glance, a mud house stood halfway up the mountain, and the outer wall was as high as the mud house.

Gu Boxi looked at all this in amazement. He had only been away from home for half a year, but he didn't expect that his family would have such a big change. This half-meter thick gable, the wine jars in this room, the wine drying jars in this stone cave, and the piles of grain that could not be put in the house, each of them proved the wealth and prosperity of his family. A small landlord's family would be at this level!

Sitting at the entrance of the stone cave, Gu Boxi blew the cool breeze from the cave. When he was a child, he also sat on the stone at the entrance of the stone cave like this, and it is the same now. The difference is that there was a huge stone at the entrance of the cave at that time, and the stone cave did not belong to his family at that time, and the wind blowing out of the stone cave did not carry the aroma of wine at that time.

He was a little depressed. A few years ago, he wanted to learn pottery so that he could support his family. Last year, he made some money by collecting herbs but almost lost his life. Now he is learning medicine from Taoist Lingxu. Although Taoist Lingxu is a very good person and teaches him very attentively, medicine is not something that can be mastered overnight. The more you learn, the more you remember. Even if the Taoist praised him for his talent, he knew that he would not be able to become a master for several years. He once thought about making money to support his family, but nothing changed after several years. On the contrary, his nephew turned his family upside down in less than a year. He has a house, food, mountains, and now this industry.

"What's wrong, Uncle San? You've been sitting here for a long time. It's not that hot today, is it?" Gu Liang's shout woke Gu Boxi, who had been silent for a long time, from his thoughts. "Grandma asked me to ask you to go home for dinner. If you feel hot, let's take the food to the cave entrance to eat. It's cool here. We usually eat here when it's hot."

Gu Boxi quickly stood up and said that it was okay and there was no need to eat here. After that, the two went down the mountain and went home together.

Since Gu Boxi hadn't been home for a long time, Grandma Gu cooked a table of delicious dishes, and even the chickens that were reluctant to be killed during the New Year were used to stew soup. Grandma Gu was busy at the table, scooping chicken soup for her youngest son and tearing chicken legs, while picking up fresh pork that had just been bought in town for him.

Although the family also teased Grandma Gu for being partial, everyone knew that studying medicine was a hard job for Gu Boxi. They would usually follow Old Man Gu to the mountains to deliver food and clothes to him. The living conditions in the mountains were much worse than at home. There was nothing they could ask for. Rice, flour, grain and oil had to be delivered by others. There was no one to talk to on weekdays. It was like being in prison.

Moreover, Taoist Lingxu taught very seriously. He had to recite various medical books and prescriptions all day long. Because Gu Boxi could not read or write before, he had to memorize various medical skills and prescriptions by rote. The Taoist taught Gu Boxi one sentence at a time. And Gu Boxi was also very competitive. Last time, he actually sent someone to bring a letter of his own.

Gu Liang came back with a handwritten letter, which contained some simple characters he had learned in the past six months. Fortunately, Gu Liang had a traditional Chinese buff and could recognize the characters on the letter, otherwise it would be useless for Gu Boxi to write.

At this time, Chunni, who had left the table early after dinner, picked up the big bag that Gu Boxi brought home and asked, "Uncle San, what are you carrying here? Is it food for us?"

This time, Gu Boxi didn't know why he carried two large sacks of things home. Since everyone was just welcoming Gu Boxi home, they didn't pay much attention to what he was carrying until Chunni asked curiously.

Gu Boxi put down his chopsticks, untied the rope of the sack, and said embarrassedly: "I am already nineteen years old, and I still eat and drink for free in Lingbao Temple all day long. I am really sorry that my parents send me food every once in a while. These are some medicinal herbs I dug around Lingbao Temple, which should be able to sell for a good price. I originally thought that I could supplement the family expenses. Now that I see that the family's wine business is so good, there is no worry about food and drink. I didn't expect that I was worrying too much."

Gu Boxi smiled and explained embarrassedly while constantly taking things out of the sack: "This is Polygonatum, which has been steamed and dried nine times. It should be much more expensive than fresh Polygonatum. Parents can sell it or keep it for themselves. It is very nutritious.

This is Feiqingcao, which has been dried and is also quite valuable. This is a purple Ganoderma lucidum and a few Mori Huang, Gu Liang We all know the price, so we can let him sell it when the time comes.

There are also Gastrodia elata, Atractylodes macrocephala, Coptis chinensis... Although there are many varieties, the quantity is not too much. "

Before Gu Boxi finished speaking, Old Lady Gu interrupted and said: "Xi'er, didn't I tell you not to go into the mountains to collect herbs? How come you forgot about what happened last time so quickly? What if you encounter blind people or big beasts again? Our family is not short of money now, you don't have to take such risks. "

"Mom, it's okay. Every time I go, the Taoist priest has to accompany me, and he has never had any accidents for so many years. There are villages on the mountain over there, and there are also the Three Pure Ones to bless him, so there are no wild beasts. Besides, your son is studying medicine now, how can he not go to collect herbs?" Gu Boxi explained hurriedly, fearing that his mother would be worried.

Old Lady Gu thought about it and it was true. If her son didn't even dare to collect herbs, how could he learn it well. Since she let her son study medicine, she must not hold him back. Besides, this doctor is popular wherever he goes and is respected by people. In her eyes, it is much better than farming and selling wine.

In order to reassure his mother, Gu Boxi took out two wooden boxes from his pocket and said to Gu Changan and his second sister-in-law Li: "Brother, sister-in-law, here are the Hele Dan that my master and I made, and this Jinsuo Guxie Decoction. It contains Schisandra chinensis, Cuscuta chinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Epimedium, Dragon Bone, Radix Rehmanniae... etc. Take this and take it well. You will definitely give your parents a big fat boy next year!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Changan and Li blushed like monkey butts, and they lowered their heads and dared not raise them.

Even though Gu Changping and Chen didn't understand medicine, they could hear the effect of the medicine. They tried to hold back their laughter and quickly covered Gu Liang's and Dani's ears, for fear that the children would hear it.

Gu Liang was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter. He never thought that the first medicine his uncle prescribed for his family would be this kind of medicine. He had to say that his uncle was really awesome. He had a big bowel movement in front of everyone.
