Su Qingluan was walking on the path to Lefeng Town. Because she wore improved spikes on her feet, she did not slip with each step and walked so hard.
"Why are there more and more activities like 'outing' when we clearly want to sit next to the warm fire?" Su Qingluan muttered speechlessly.
But she raised her head and looked at the cloudless sky: Fortunately, the sunshine today is good, but if it was really windy and snowy, Li Sanlang probably wouldn't ask her to come to the town to get medicine at Huichun Hall on her behalf, right?
In fact, Su Qingluan originally wanted to stay and take care of Sun Guixiang. However, Sun Guixiang is still in the lochia stage, and there is no nursing mattress here, so she needs to change the sheets regularly - even she is not that smart when she turns over on her own, and needs Li Sanlang's help.
When Su Qingluan went to visit Li's house, he also entered the inner room, and Sun Guixiang couldn't get out of bed at all. If Su Qingluan were not a woman, she might not be able to see Sun Guixiang at all.
What's more, Li Sanlang also has to take care of the task of coaxing the child - after all, Sun Guixiang can only hold the child briefly on the bed. If the baby still cries, Li Sanlang needs to hold the child and walk back and forth in the house.
Su Qingluan didn't hesitate at all, and decisively chose to run errands - compared to the difficult mode of going out in the ice and snow, coaxing children is a hellish level of difficulty!
Speaking of which, Su Qingluan has never been out of Huaxi Village since the heavy snow that closed the door. She originally thought that the level of heavy snow would be enough to "close the mountains and block the roads."
She never thought that Yang and Su Guangfu would tell her that although such "next night" heavy snowfalls are spectacular, there are several of them every winter. They are not close to the level of "mountain closure". At best, they can make the mountain road more difficult to walk.
However, for those who really need to make a living, this level is not enough to stop everyone.
Sure enough, although the mountain road was difficult, Su Qingluan still encountered a few more pedestrians along the way. These people were either carrying burdens, carrying wooden boxes, or pushing wheelbarrows.
The only thing they have in common is that they are dressed in simple or even rudimentary clothes, and they are walking hastily on the mountain path through the creaking snow.
Thanks to their blessing, a narrow road near the center has been trampled very tightly, preventing people from taking a step.
But because of this, the narrow road has become very slippery, so many people - or rather, almost everyone except Su Qingluan - choose places with relatively deep snow in order to avoid slipping. Put your foot down.
As for Su Qingluan, there is no need for this at all. The anti-slip degree of her nail shoes is even comparable to walking on rough ground in summer.
It's just that when I occasionally encounter loose ice, the spikes will dig into the deeper parts of the ice, making it difficult to pull them out.
The town of Lefeng has become much more depressed to the naked eye. Not only are the small outdoor vendors almost gone, but there are also fewer pedestrians than in the past. Only businesses that can still rent shops are still open.
Su Qingluan first went to Huichun Hall as planned. It was like a modern "Top 3A hospital" and was very lively all year round.
But obviously, wind and cold are more likely to occur in winter, and many people use prescriptions to dispel wind and cold. In addition, there are also many people who use medicinal decoction and ointment for injuries caused by scratches and bruises.
Su Qingluan got her number, and as usual, she said she had to wait in line for at least two quarters of an hour.
If it's midsummer when the heat is unbearable, Su Qingluan will naturally go outside for a walk. But now the cold wind is howling outside. Although there is no heating or air conditioning in Huichun Hall this time, there are so many people in a relatively closed space, so it is definitely much warmer than outside.
While idle, Su Qingluan focused on the rows of neatly arranged drawers containing various medicinal materials.
What concerned Su Qingluan was that the drawer seemed to not only contain the names of medicinal materials, but also something similar to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Su Qingluan guessed that it was something similar to a number, which could make it easier and faster to find the corresponding medicine. medicinal materials.
In fact, there are many uncommon characters in the names of Chinese medicinal materials, but there are also many familiar names to her, such as ginseng, tangerine peel, angelica, wolfberry, etc...
Moreover, Su Qingluan discovered that some medicinal materials are very interesting, such as Wang Buliuxing and Liu Jinu, which sound more like a person's name than medicinal materials.
Su Qingluan looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any pattern in the order in which these medicinal materials were arranged - but she guessed that it might have something to do with medicinal properties or related classifications.
Just looking around aimlessly, Su Qingluan looked for medicinal names that he thought were more interesting.
Suddenly, Su Qingluan's wandering eyes focused on one place. On that drawer, the word "turmeric" caught her eye.
Turmeric, was it the "turmeric" she thought of? Su Qingluan was not sure. After all, as time went by, many words had changed their meanings and even became completely irrelevant.
The "turmeric" that Su Qingluan was thinking of was actually a spice that had nothing to do with the vegetable "ginger". However, its color was very similar to the color of the cross-section of the ginger root. It was a bright yellow, so it was With the name "turmeric".
More importantly, Su Qingluan remembered that turmeric is one of the important components of "curry" in the popular sense.
Thinking about it this way, she hadn't eaten curry-related food for a long, long time.
Because she was ill before, both doctors and patients advised her not to eat too spicy food for the sake of her fragile small intestine. After the time travel, she had never seen turmeric in Fanshang's spice shop, which made Su Qingluan give up the idea of eating curry in this life.
But this time, she accidentally discovered this spice that was used as a medicinal ingredient. It was a real surprise.
However, just in case, Su Qingluan still asked the little medicine boy to grab a little turmeric for himself when it was his turn to take medicine and check it.
Then she bought half a catty in one go.
The little medicine boy couldn't help but look at this strange customer several times - after all, Su Qingluan brought in the other party's perspective, no one would want so much medicine at once, right?
However, she was too lazy to explain. She walked out of the "Huichuntang" door with turmeric and packed medicinal materials contentedly. She stopped by the snack shop a block away and bought some snacks for her brother and sister. Then she turned and returned to Huaxi Village. .
Li Sanlang and Sun Guixiang thanked each other profusely. Li Sanlang also took out the eggs at home to give Su Qingluan a thank you gift.
Su Qingluan waved her hands quickly: "Uncle Li, you are too outspoken. Aunt Guixiang often takes care of my sister, and she didn't ask for a thank you gift, right? What's more..." She weighed the turmeric on her hand and said, "Please I’m so lucky to have gone to the Huichun Hall this time, but what an unexpected surprise!”
It can make her have more curry in the rest of her life. This thing alone is much more important to Su Qingluan, who is not short of money now, than a simple financial gift.
