Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 112: Donkey Cart Enters the City

Mrs. Gu Wang smiled and nodded, then called Gu Hao and his sister back into the house.

Although deep down Gu Hao really wanted to go to the county town with everyone.

But when he remembered that his brother mentioned in the morning that there was a crucial mission that needed to be undertaken by him, he immediately became excited and gladly chose to stay.

I was waiting with joy to receive instructions from my second aunt.

After hearing Gu Qingzhi's suggestion, Gu Wangshi decided without hesitation to lead the two lovely children to make persimmon cakes together. If they acted faster, perhaps by the time their daughter returned, they would have successfully completed all the work.

Thinking of this, Gu Wangshi's heart was filled with anticipation.

Gu Yan shouted again: "Hehe~" The donkey then took vigorous steps and quickened its pace.

Gradually, they came to the intersection of the village.

As soon as it got out of the intersection, the donkey seemed to feel the breath of freedom and ran happily.

Gu Yan did not ask the donkey to slow down, but just held the reins firmly to ensure safety, and let the donkey run on the deserted road.

Gu Qingzhi, who was sitting on the donkey cart, was extremely happy. She smiled and said, "Brother, this stupid donkey must be suffocated."

He nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his sister's point of view.

What surprised Gu Yan was that for some reason, he always felt that this donkey was very spiritual and seemed to understand every word they said.

This morning when he told the donkey that he was going to take it to market, the donkey's head swayed from side to side in excitement, and it was obvious that it was very happy about the news.

Normally, it would take a full hour to complete this journey by ox cart, but today the donkey reached the destination in less than half an hour.

It was obviously extremely excited.

When the donkey cart just drove out of the country road, some villagers witnessed the scene.

"Did you see that? That was a donkey cart that just passed by!"

"Yes, when did donkey carts appear in our village?"

"Whose family is this? Did you see what the driver looks like?"

Everyone looked at each other, none of them could see the driver's appearance clearly. They could only vaguely glimpse two figures sitting in the car.

At this moment, Gu Chen and his group chose another sparsely populated, secluded road to leave the village and did not meet this group of people.

Gu Yan accompanied Gu Qingzhi to the clinic. This time, Gu Qingzhi came here on a whim just to inquire about the price of the medicinal materials.

Manager Li was not in the store, and it was the pharmacist who was familiar with them who received them warmly.

Hearing Gu Qingzhi asking about the purchase price of medicinal materials, he did not think much about it, and told Gu Qingzhi in detail the purchase price of various medicinal materials.

Among them, the price of processed Astragalus is as high as 100 to 150 coins, which can be said to be quite expensive.

The medicine boy added,

"Our clinic also purchases medicinal materials such as Chinese yam, Citrus aurantium, Citrus aurantium bark, Polygonatum sibiricum, and Magnolia officinalis.

In addition, if there are other medicinal materials, as long as they are of good quality, our clinic will purchase them. Of course, the prices of medicinal materials of different qualities are naturally different. "

Pengze County is surrounded by high mountains on all sides, and these mountains are rich and diverse in medicinal resources.

There are always a few farmers who are forced to go deep into the mountains to make a living, and rely on picking various herbs and selling them in clinics to support their families.

However, this does not include the prosperous Tang Dynasty where the young lady of the Gu family lives.

Since the shopkeeper paid close attention to this young lady, he naturally heard some things from the shopkeeper and learned that this young lady was from Sheng Tangli.

Shengtangli is a moderately sized town in Pengze County, with ample arable land and some good farmland. It is not like some villages where the land is barren and the harvest is not guaranteed, and the people have to go into the mountains to make a living.

However, a rare thing happened today - someone came to ask about the price of Astragalus.

It was still this familiar young lady.

This made him suspicious. Could it be that there really was Astragalus hidden in the deep mountains and forests?

No matter how much I think about it, I always feel that something is not right. After all, I have been working as a medicine boy in this clinic since I was a child. It has been more than ten years now, and I have never touched any Astragalus membranaceus during this period.

The astragalus used in the clinic is all transported from distant places.

As for the purchase prices of various medicinal materials in the store, they are all set by the Ren'aitang headquarters in Shangjing.

After listening to the medicine boy's words, Gu Qingzhi kept them in mind.

The price of Polygonatum sibiricum is really high. It would be great if you could have the time to go to Xizi Mountain to look for it and see if it really exists.

She remembered that the properties of Polygonatum sibiricum were recorded in the "Collection of Medicinal Herbs".

Polygonatum sibiricum grows on the edge of mountain forests, in thickets or in semi-shaded areas on hillsides. It prefers to grow in a shady and humid environment, on the edge of a forest with loose and fertile soil, sufficient surface moisture, shade, and sufficient light transmittance.

It is recorded in "Collection of Medicinal Herbs": "Polygonatum sibiricum, when raw, weighs one bushel, and when cooked, weighs three or four dou. If it is steamed raw, it will prick the throat. If it is exposed to the sun to dry, it will not rot. The roots, leaves, flowers and fruits are all edible."

Its fleshy rhizome can be eaten raw, it is crisp, tender, sweet and refreshing. It can also be stir-fried, cooked in soup, steamed, made into porridge, soaked in wine, used as medicinal food, etc.

The young leaves can also be blanched and mixed into a cold dish for consumption.

After stepping out of the clinic, Gu Yan and his sister drove to the door of Chen's Cloth Shop.

Gu Yanxian tied the donkey under a big tree outside the cloth shop.

Then he took two exquisite bamboo baskets from the donkey cart and held them in his hands, and slowly walked up the stairs holding his sister Gu Qingzhi's small and tender hand...

At this moment, Mrs. Chen, the owner of Chen's Cloth Shop, happened to be standing in front of the counter discussing something with the manager.

"Aunt Chen, good morning!" Gu Qingzhi greeted softly with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Zhi, you haven't been here for a few days."

As soon as Mrs. Chen saw Gu Qingzhi, an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on her face and she greeted her warmly.

These days, she has been looking forward to the appearance of the young lady from the Gu family every day. She is really looking forward to it.

Madam Chen's eyes couldn't help but fall on the two bamboo baskets in Gu Yan's hands - could the contents inside be the things she had been longing for?

"Aunt Chen, this is my second brother." Gu Qingzhi smiled slightly, motioned Gu Yan to put the bamboo basket on the counter, and then together with him, she saluted to Aunt Chen.

"By the way, how are the sales of those silk flowers you brought over earlier?"

"Oh my, it's Gu's Erlang. Why did you come just now? I was thinking of sending someone to look for you! Come on, let's talk inside."

As Mrs. Chen spoke, she enthusiastically took Gu Qingzhi's hand and led them into the reception room.
