When a woman seeks medical treatment, or when she seeks a female doctor, isn’t that the problem?
But Chu Yue had made it clear to Lu Xinghe before that she only had a superficial knowledge. Moreover, in her previous life, she majored in Western medicine, and Chinese medicine was only an auxiliary. She was really not very good at feeling the pulse and prescribing prescriptions.
"Thank you shopkeeper for your kindness, but I barely know a few medicinal materials because my mother's neighbor is a village doctor. I can't diagnose the disease seriously."
The shopkeeper looked regretful: "That's a pity."
Chu Yue pointed to a few herbs on the counter and said, "If the shopkeeper wants to collect the herbs, can you do the math for me first?"
"Received."
After a moment, the shopkeeper looked at Chu Yue and said, "Girl, since you know medicinal materials, I won't tell you those nonsense. These Bupleurum are relatively large in quantity and of good quality. I will give you 800 coins. I'll give you 600 fen for the two ends and three qi, and the rest are the most common medicinal materials, so I'll give you 100 fen."
As the shopkeeper spoke, he flipped the abacus on his hand.
"It's one, two and five hundred coins in total, what do you think? If it's suitable, I will collect all these medicinal materials from you."
What else does Chu Yue disagree with? Dang even nodded.
"Okay, I'll sell it."
Lu Xinghe was a little surprised that such a basket of medicinal materials could be sold for so much money.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel that maybe marrying her would be a good decision.
After the shopkeeper settled the money for Chu Yue, Lu Xinghe spent another two hundred and sixty yuan to get some medicine for Yun Cuihe, and the two of them left the medicine shop together.
It was a shame to sell the wild boar and medicinal materials. Otherwise, the few hundred coins earned from handkerchiefs and copying books would not be enough to spend, and most of them would be spent just to buy some medicinal materials.
No wonder Lu Xinghe has good conditions, but not many girls are willing to marry him.
These days, having a full stomach is key.
Chu Yue couldn't help but think that she already had a medical foundation. It would be great if she could find a powerful master to learn Chinese medicine again. These medicine shops have always been dominated by male doctors. If she knew medicine, she should be able to Is it more popular with the ladies?
The two of them had been wandering around the town for a while. It was already noon, and the vertical sunlight was so intense that they could hardly keep their eyes open.
Lu Xinghe pushed a trolley and led Chu Yue to a small stall. The two of them spent thirteen Wen and ordered two bowls of noodles and a pot of tea. Chu Yue's dry throat felt like it was about to split after not drinking water all morning. As if, he poured himself three large cups of tea as soon as it came.
"are you tired?"
Lu Xinghe asked suddenly. He was obviously still a child. He had followed him around all morning without a single complaint. He had no idea what life was like in Niutou Village.
Chu Yue was slightly stunned and shook her head: "It's okay."
But in fact, her legs had been sore for a long time, but she just didn't say it. After all, the two of them didn't know each other well, and she was embarrassed to say it.
Lu Xinghe knew that she was trying to show off, and there was an expression on his handsome face that could not be refuted: "We will go shopping after eating the noodles later, and you can take a trolley home."
Chu Yue pursed her lips. She originally wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, the noodle stall owner brought over the noodles that had been prepared.
After eating the noodles and drinking the tea, the two of them left thirteen pennies and headed to the grain store.
It was noon, it was extremely hot outside, and there were no customers in the grain store.
As soon as Lu Xinghe and Chu Yue pushed the trolley to the entrance of the grain store, the boy guarding the door lit up and hurriedly came forward to greet them.
"Two guests, what do you need?"
"I want thirty kilograms of brown rice." Lu Xinghe said.
Brown rice costs five cents per catty, and thirty catties equals one hundred and fifty cents. If it weren't for the fact that he made some money today, Lu Xinghe wouldn't dare to buy it like this. He usually buys it for ten catties.
Chu Yue stepped forward and pulled Lu Xinghe's sleeve, pointing to the Chen rice on sale at the door.
"Ms. sir, let's buy some more Chen rice."
Although old rice does not taste very good, it is easier to swallow than brown rice. New rice costs eight cents per catty, so the price of old rice should not be much different from brown rice.
Moreover, with the current situation, it is definitely a wise choice to stock up on more food.
After hearing this, the boy on the side quickly introduced the two of them with a smile: "This girl has good taste. This rice is the grain that was pressed into the warehouse last year. It is the product produced the year before. Because the weather has been relatively dry in the past two years, it has been preserved." It's pretty good, and the musty smell isn't too strong. We all eat this rice at home, and it's only five cents a pound, the same price as brown rice, so it's a good deal."
Just now Chu Yue also grabbed a handful of rice and smelled it, which was indeed what the boy said.
Besides, it's only five cents per pound. Such a good thing doesn't always happen.
Chu Yue looked excited. She just happened to push a cart here today. If you buy more, you can get it back.
She gently pinched Lu Xinghe's sleeve, stood up on tiptoes and whispered into his ear: "Mr. sir, how about we buy more Chen rice? It's a drought now. If we don't harvest anything, there will definitely be a famine." Food prices may rise by then."
The waxy voice in his ears made Lu Xinghe swallow nervously. He turned his head and looked at Chu Yueyue's crystal eyes, his throat twitching slightly.
"good."
After all, there were so many mouths to eat at home, and I had some extra money in my hand, so I bought more food to be prepared, so I turned to look at the boy.
"How much Chen rice do you have in total?"
The boy raised two fingers and said, "About two hundred kilograms."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xinghe spoke again: "Give it all to me."
"Okay, guest, please wait for a moment. I will go to the warehouse and bring the remaining rice here." The boy was a little excited. He didn't expect to meet such a big customer at noon.
If the deal goes through, he can get several copper coins in commission.
In the end, the two of them bought two hundred kilograms of old rice and thirty kilograms of brown rice, spending a total of one tael and one hundred and fifty Wen. Chu Yue worked hard and asked the grain store to half sell and half give away five kilograms of white flour. give up.
After all this hard work, the food they purchased should be enough to last the family until next spring.
The originally light cart creaked under the weight of these two hundred kilograms of old rice.
Fortunately, there was a shop selling oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar next to the grain store. Because salt was too expensive, Chu Yue was only willing to buy five taels.
They say three loads of rice and one pound of salt. Although it is not exaggerated to this extent, it is indeed shockingly expensive. Fifteen ounces of salt are equivalent to one tael. These five ounces of salt cost a full 75 ounces, which is enough to buy fifteen ounces. I've been eating a lot of rice for a while.
In addition to salt, she spent fifteen cents on some peppercorns, ginger and garlic cloves, and thirty cents on a small jar of brown sugar.
After buying the condiments, the two pushed the cart back.
As soon as he left Nanping Town, Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue who was pushing the cart beside him, "You can get on the cart, I can push it."
Chu Yue shook her head: "No, it's too heavy."
Lu Xinghe looked ahead: "The next section is all downhill. When there is an uphill road, you can just come down and help me push."
After hearing this, Chu Yue agreed to get on the cart.
She sat on the cart and looked at Lu Xinghe who looked relaxed.
"Ms. sir, will you continue to take scientific examinations in the future?"
Lu Xinghe's movements froze obviously, and then returned to normal.
"It shouldn't be possible."
