Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

An Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too kind! These are what Yue Yue should do."

An Yue was talking to the doctor, and it seemed that they had arrived in town in a short while. An Yue and the doctor walked along the main street and soon arrived at the shop.

Looking up, I saw three big characters "Jirentang" engraved on a plaque above the shop door.

Jirentang Pharmacy is on the main street, not far from Wanfulou.

Walking into the pharmacy, the doctor asked An Yue to sit on a stool and said, "Yueyue, sit here and wait for a while."

Doctor An Yuechong nodded.

The doctor casually placed the medicine box on the small round table, rolled up his sleeves and walked behind the counter.

Behind the counter is a large cabinet, which is a large medicine cabinet about two meters long and wide.

There are small drawers on the medicine cabinet with the names of various Chinese medicinal materials written on them, including Eucommia ulmoides, mugwort, Ganoderma lucidum, mulberry leaves, ginseng, etc.

I saw him spreading a few sheets of packing paper on the table. He looked at the prescription, then turned around and opened a medicine drawer.

Then, according to the prescription, he grabbed a small handful of each medicine, gently placed them on the small scale pan, and after weighing, poured them on the packing paper.

Finally, he turned around and opened the medicine drawer with the word "Perilla" written on it, but this time he didn't take out any medicine, as if there was no more medicinal materials in the drawer.

He quickly shouted, "Xiao Lu, go to the warehouse and get some basil."

I guess this little Lu is the medicine boy in this shop.

At this time, the doctor smiled and said to An Yue at the door: "Yueyue, sit down and wait for a while!"

An Yue took advantage of this gap to chat with him.

He asked, "Uncle, excuse me, are you the owner of this shop?"

The doctor smiled and asked with a little doubt: "Why does Yueyue ask this?"

An Yue scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "Actually, Yue Yue also recognizes some herbs."

Then he continued, “Yueyue wants to know if the medicine shop will accept medicinal materials on weekdays?”

The doctor smiled and said, "Oh...! Yueyue wants to pick some herbs and bring them to the shop to exchange for money?"

An Yuechong smiled at the doctor and nodded.

"Of course the shop will buy medicinal herbs, and many commonly used herbs are purchased all year round."

After saying that, the doctor waved to An Yue, motioning her to come over.

An Yue stood up and walked to the counter. The doctor took out a medicine from the medicine drawer and handed it to An Yue, asking, "Yueyue, do you know this medicine?"

An Yue took the herbs, smelled them, looked at them, rolled her eyes, and replied, "Is this Perilla?"

The doctor frowned when he saw that An Yue was able to recognize Chinese medicine.

Then, the doctor took out another medicine from the medicine cabinet, handed it to An Yue, and asked, "Yueyue, take a look at this?"

Before An Yue took it, she had already figured out what kind of Chinese medicine it was.

She replied without hesitation: "This is mugwort."

The doctor asked An Yue in surprise: "Yueyue, how do you know these herbs?"

An Yue thought, I can't tell him that I traveled through time! First of all, these medicines are also common herbs in the 21st century, and secondly, the names of the herbs are clearly written on the medicine cabinet.

"Um... well, Yueyue has no idea. It's like I saw it in a dream."

The doctor looked at An Yue, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes were a little flustered and a little surprised.

Being stared at by him like that, An Yue thought there was something on her face, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe it.

At this time, a medicine boy named Xiao Lu came over. He looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with soft and clear eyes and brows. He was wearing a plain green robe and looked very elegant and calm.

He came over with a winnowing basket for drying herbs and said, "Master, I've got the basil."

The doctor took the dustpan from Xiao Lu's hand and put the perilla in the dustpan into the medicine cabinet one by one.

Then he handed the empty dustpan to Xiao Lu, who took the dustpan and walked to the backyard.

The doctor grabbed a handful of basil from the medicine cabinet and weighed it on the scale.

At this moment, a door next to the medicine cabinet was pushed open, and a woman walked out from the other side of the door.

The woman was wearing an orange long skirt and had eyes like almonds. When she came out and saw An Yue's face, she immediately stopped where she was, as if she was frozen in place.

She stared at An Yue motionlessly, shocked.

After a while, she finally reacted.

She hurriedly trotted to the back of the counter to find the doctor, stumbling all the way and almost falling.

I saw the woman and the doctor whispering in each other's ears, as if they were talking about something.

An Yue stood there not daring to move.

The woman walked from the counter towards An Yue again. When she came to An Yue, there seemed to be sadness in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Her eyes sank as she asked An Yue, "Miss, how old are you this year?"

An Yue was a little overwhelmed by this question, and she answered truthfully: "Yueyue is nine years old this year."

Although An Yue didn't know what was going on, she always felt that the atmosphere was very strange.

She immediately changed the subject and asked, "Uncle, what kind of herbs does your shop need? Yueyue wants to find some herbs to exchange for money."

The doctor wrapped the herbs and said, "Bitter herbs, dandelions, plantain, and motherwort are the herbs we purchase all year round."

"Oh...! By the way, there are also perilla, mugwort, and money grass. If Yueyue can find these herbs, she can send them to uncle. Uncle will definitely give you a high price in exchange for silver."

An Yue smiled happily and said, "That's fine! After the New Year, Yueyue will go find the herbs that uncle mentioned and send them to me then!"

The doctor wrapped the herbal bag and walked out from behind the counter with a smile on his face. He handed it to An Yue and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

The woman stood there the whole time, her eyes never leaving An Yue.

An Yue could feel that the way the woman looked at her was as if she was looking at an old friend whom she had not seen for a long time.

She took the bundle of herbs and said, "Thank you, uncle. Yueyue will go back now."

An Yuechao bowed to the couple one by one, then turned and walked out of the shop.

The woman watched An Yue walk out of the medicine shop and couldn't help but follow her out. Then she said, "Child, remember to deliver the herbs."

An Yue turned around and made an 'OK' gesture to her, indicating that she understood.

Of course, it is unknown whether the woman can understand the gestures.

The woman stood at the door of the shop, watching An Yue walk away step by step, and tears suddenly flowed.

She raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose, trying her best not to cry out loud. Only after An Yue's back completely disappeared from her sight did the woman agree to enter the house.

After the woman entered the room, she said, "Master, this girl looks exactly like him, so much like him!"

The doctor said, "Madam, why did you follow him out? I think you are too anxious. Don't scare the child! How will she dare to come again in the future?"

"This... this is impossible! This child is so brave, how can he be scared?"

An Yue felt very confused along the way, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she simply stopped thinking about it and quickly hurried back with the bag of herbs.
