Yun Cuihe, who was busy in the kitchen, craned her neck and looked outside the room.
"Hey, you have to hurry up, the rice porridge is already cooked."
"I know, mother."
After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, he trotted away.
After Chu Yue drank the water, she put the bowl in the kitchen, first filled a basin of water and washed her hair with soap locust, then filled a second basin of water and entered the house.
She took off the old clothes on her body, took off the cloth sleeves wrapped around her arms, scrubbed her body with clean water, and then put on clean new clothes, finally feeling much more comfortable.
The light blue top paired with a navy blue skirt makes her look more bookish.
As soon as he took his clothes and went out, he saw Lu Xinghe sitting under the eaves. When he heard the door open, he stood up and looked at Chu Yue.
"Let's go eat first and wash the clothes later."
"good."
Chu Yue placed the basin of dirty clothes in front of the house and went to the kitchen with Lu Xinghe.
Dinner was rice porridge, wild vegetables and a big bowl of egg drop soup. Because the family went to work in the fields today, they cooked a lot more rice porridge than usual, enough for each person to have two bowls.
After eating and drinking, Chu Yue went to wash clothes, while Lu Xinghe used a flail to knock down the millet that had been drying for a day.
Recently, everyone was harvesting millet, and all had to use flails. He could only take advantage of the darkness to knock down the millet. My grandparents and uncles would have to use it tomorrow, so it was not good to delay them.
Yun Cuihe took out the dustpan from the house and swept the millet that had flown far away into the dustpan.
Chu Yue washed the clothes and helped to put the millet into the basket. Then Lu Xinghe carried the millet to the kitchen and stacked it. He would take it out to dry for two days tomorrow and the day after, before sending it to someone in the village who had a stone mortar for processing. Threshing out.
After Lu Xinghe put the millet into the kitchen, it was completely dark and the moon came out.
Since Chu Yue came here, she has never been so late with work as she is today. Looking at Lu Xinghe, whose clothes were soaked, she hurriedly filled a large basin of water, took the handkerchief and carried it into the house. .
"Let's go wash up first. Is it okay for us to take Flail to grandma's house on the way when we go to town tomorrow morning? It will be quite late. They won't need it at night anyway."
Lu Xinghe nodded: "Okay."
While Lu Xinghe was scrubbing in the house, Chu Yue stood guard outside the house. Perhaps he was too tired and fell asleep while sitting. He only knew that when he got up the next day, he was on the kang.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside the house. It was already bright.
Chu Yue hurriedly stepped on her shoes and got out of bed. Lu Xinghe had already spread out the millet to dry in the yard. As for flail, Lu Xingping had already sent it to his grandma's house. Lu Xing'an and Yun Cuihe were busy in the kitchen.
Seeing that everyone was working and only she was asleep, Chu Yue felt a little guilty in her heart.
"Ms. sir, why didn't you call me when you got up?"
Seeing the little girl's self-blaming look on her face, Lu Xinghe smiled and rubbed her head, "It's okay. I was tired yesterday. It's good to get more sleep."
Yun Cuihe seemed to have noticed that Chu Yue was awake, and hurriedly shouted in the kitchen: "Yue'er, wash your face and set out the dishes, it's time to eat."
"Okay, mother."
Chu Yue was originally worried that her family would have objections if she saw her sleeping on the bed, but she was relieved when she heard what Yun Cuihe called her.
After breakfast, Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe set out for the town.
Before leaving, she deliberately put the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhu the day before yesterday into her purse.
The cart was borrowed from Aunt Lin's house when Lu Xingping went to deliver flails in the morning. Chu Yue was sitting on the cart carrying a basket full of medicinal materials, and Lu Xinghe easily pushed it all the way to Nanping. He walked in the direction of Zhen, as if he had endless energy, which made Chu Yue feel surprised in her heart.
They are both eighteen years old, but my lazy brother does nothing at home. It is said that he is getting married soon, and I don't know which girl is the unlucky one.
When she thought of the Chu family, she thought of Xiao Tao again. She didn't know how Xiao Tao was doing now. It would be nice if she was closer to Niutou Village, so she could take the time to visit Xiao Tao.
A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at Nanping Town and went straight to Chenji Drug Store.
It was not the first time for Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe to come here. Shopkeeper Chen immediately greeted them as soon as he saw them.
"Little girl, you and your husband are here to sell medicinal materials again."
Chu Yue smiled and said: "Not just selling medicinal materials, but also getting medicine."
After she finished speaking, she took out the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhu from her purse and handed it to Shopkeeper Chen.
"Shopkeeper Chen, help me find out how much it will cost to take this medicine according to this prescription."
Shopkeeper Chen took the prescription and hurriedly asked his assistant to take Lu Xinghe to the backyard to count the medicinal materials. He put the prescription a little further away, carefully looked at the dosage and weight on the prescription, and finally looked at Chu Yue after scratching on the abacus for a while. .
"Miss Chu, there is a flavor of ginseng in this prescription. You have sold this stuff to me before, so you should know how valuable it is. Even if a medicine only contains a few slices of three-year-old ginseng, it should cost at least this amount."
He said, raising three fingers.
"Three hundred coins a pair?"
Chu Yue took a deep breath in her heart.
Calculating it this way, three hundred wen a day is nine taels of silver a month. Doctor Zhu also said that it would take at least two months, so how about eighteen taels?
No wonder the medicine my husband bought for his mother didn’t always turn out well in the past. He spent more than 200 yuan each time to get six doses of medicine, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.
But my mother’s body needs to be treated after all.
Chu Yue gritted her teeth and looked at shopkeeper Chen: "Please shopkeeper Chen make me ten pairs according to this recipe first, and then weigh another two taels of wolfberry, two taels of angelica, and one tael of astragalus."
"Okay, Miss Chu, wait a moment."
Shopkeeper Chen now put ten pieces of oil paper on the counter, and then weighed the medicines on the prescription one by one and put them into the oil paper. Each medicine contained a large amount. After weighing all the medicines, shopkeeper Chen packed the ten medicines. The good thing was handed to Chu Yue.
He also weighed some other medicinal materials she asked for and gave them to her. Shopkeeper Chen said: "When decoction, you need to soak it in cold water for two quarters of an hour, then boil it over low heat. Cook it in three bowls of water until one bowl of water is used. The girl can take it." remember."
Chu Yue nodded.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for reminding me. I'll remember it all."
After she paid three taels and two hundred cash for the medicine to Shopkeeper Chen, Shopkeeper Chen turned around and grabbed a few Codonopsis root from a small drawer behind him and handed them in the direction of Chu Yue.
"This Codonopsis pilosula is also a nourishing food. It's best for making soup, so I'll give it to you."
Chu Yue hurriedly took the dangshen and thanked her: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper Chen."
Just at this time, Lu Xinghe, who had finished sorting out the medicinal materials, came out of the backyard with an empty backpack on his back. He was accompanied by the guy who went in with him just now.
Today's basket of medicinal materials does not contain any expensive medicines, and only sells for one to two to eight hundred coins, but compared to the past, it is still pretty good.
