Now that he was going to go to town, Duan Jie also took out the watermelon cream he had saved recently, and was going to ask the other party if he would take it back.During this time, the watermelon has frosted three times, and Duan Jie saved a total of 27 catties.He doesn't buy any small bottles now, and directly takes a few extra-large porcelain bottles and seals them.This is what his grandma taught. Watermelon frost is best served in a sealed porcelain bottle.

Three days later, when someone from the village went to the market, Duan Jie took Watermelon Shuang with him to the town.It was only mid-November at this time, the weather was cold, and it was not close to the festival, the market was deserted, and there were much fewer stalls than before.

Duan Jie first turned to the pharmacy. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy received the letter from Jingli half a month ago, and he got the right words. He knew that his boss would accept the prescription, so he waited for Duan Jie to come to the store every day.Seeing Duan Jie coming over today, he greeted him first without waiting for the buddy to greet him.

After the two met, the shopkeeper greeted him respectfully and politely in the back hall.Duan Jie has been to this shop several times, even last time, he never received such good treatment.Why is the shopkeeper of this pharmacy so enthusiastic today?There is a saying that if you have nothing to do, you will be courteous, if you are not rape, you are stealing.Duan Jie was a little alert, and just took out the watermelon frost, the shopkeeper only glanced at it, and said: "Give this little brother Yu 15 taels of silver."

Duan Jie hurriedly opened his mouth to stop, "It's not that much, I only brought 27 catties and three taels, forty liters and one or two medicines, and ten taels and nine silvers are enough." The shopkeeper's enthusiasm was too much, Duan Jie At this moment, my heart began to feel uneasy, it's okay to treat me so well, there must be a plan.If there is anything the shopkeeper wants, then the only thing worthy of his attention is the prescription.If it was a while ago, he might have sold it, but now, Duan Jie doesn't plan to sell it.As long as his medicine can be sold, he will always have money and income, but if the prescription is sold, he will no longer have this income in the future.

"Brother Yu, you said a few months ago that the prescription was asking for 500 taels of silver. At that time, the small shop couldn't get enough money for a while, so I didn't agree. Now the old man has collected 500 taels of silver. I want to buy it. I don’t know what my brother thinks of this prescription for throat clearing cream in my hands.” As he spoke, the shopkeeper gave a clerk a wink, and the clerk hurried into the inner room to get the bank notes.

Duan Jie's eyelids twitched, he really wanted to buy a prescription, but he didn't intend to sell it.I'm afraid it's not good to directly refuse, and I'm afraid it will offend Guangshantang, but if it is sold, he is not willing, so he thought of an excuse, "Shopkeeper, you take care of my business. Naturally, I am very grateful, but I'm afraid I can't sell this recipe."

"Why?!" The shopkeeper's expression changed.

"To tell you the truth, my parents passed away early, and left nothing behind before they died, only such an ancestral prescription. My ancestors also left words, saying that if the mountains and rivers are not exhausted, future generations will not Use this prescription to make money. If I hadn’t been really struggling, I wouldn’t have thought about making medicine.” Duan Jie sighed as he spoke, “I reported the price of the prescription to the shopkeeper the other day, and I’ll take it back. That night, my father entrusted me with a dream. In the dream, my father kept saying that I was not filial, and forced me to promise that I would never think about selling prescriptions again. For three days in a row, I had the same dream. I don’t dare to have the desire to sell medicine again.”

As soon as Duan Jie said this, the shopkeeper's face was really ugly.It turned out that his father conjured up the dream himself, this, this made him have nothing to persuade him.People at this time believe in ghosts and gods, and they are very particular about filial piety.Duan Jie made such an excuse that the shopkeeper really had nothing to say.He couldn't let people say that he should ignore his parents' dreams, and he had dreamed for three days in a row, but he had to accept this prescription.Of course, it wasn't that the shopkeeper didn't think that Duan Jie might be lying, but his words had already been put here, and the seller was going against the wishes of his ancestors, that is, to make his parents have no peace in the underground.

Duan Jie continued: "I have a compromise proposal here. In the future, I will make this medicine and only sell it to Guangshantang. In this way, although your store cannot receive prescriptions, this medicine can be regarded as unique to your store. What do you think of the shopkeeper?"

Selling only to Guangshantang is good, but the medicine is still in your hands. If we want the medicine, it depends on your attitude. How can it be as comfortable as the prescription in your own hands!The shopkeeper sighed, "Let's leave it like this for now." Anyway, he had to keep the little brother of the Yu family safe first, and not let the medicine in his hand flow to other pharmacies.As for what to do, it is better to report to the general number first, and see what the other side means.

When Duan Jie sold the medicine and left the pharmacy, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy called a young man, "Follow him, see what he does, where he lives, and find out if he has bought a lot in the past few months." I also figured out what to eat, and what he grows in his field." This is because the shopkeeper really had no choice, so he came up with this crooked idea.His current plan is that it would be best if he could steal the prescription, and even if he couldn't steal the prescription, he would have to find out what it was made of. As long as this person continued to make medicine, he would always be able to find out what it was made of.

After Duan Jie sold the watermelon frost in his hand, he went to the market like a normal person.First, I went to the butcher shop, picked some pieces of meat, fat and thin, and picked up some bones.Living in the village is just inconvenient. Eating meat is too troublesome.But when it comes to Chinese New Year, it should be better. There should be someone in the village who knows how to butcher pigs, so just go and buy some by yourself.

After buying the meat, Duan Jie went to buy some preserved fruits, red dates, dried fruits, etc. These things are very good whether it is cooking porridge or entertaining guests, especially when cooking porridge.Throw in a few preserved fruits, grab a handful of peanuts or lotus seeds, the porridge is really fragrant and sweet.Speaking of buying some oil, Duan Jie hasn't bought vegetable oil since he came here. Most of his cooking is stewed, steamed, boiled, and stir-fried vegetables are relatively small, and most of the time he uses meat oil. The fragrance is quite fragrant, but when it cools, the taste becomes a bit fishy.

This time he came to the town to buy mung beans, but also to buy some vegetable oil. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is less than two months away, fried things are indispensable, and the oil at home must not be enough.Duan Jie searched the street for a while, and when he saw an oil seller, he called to him, "Hey, that oil seller, wait a minute." Seeing the oil seller stop, Duan Jie ran up to him, " Brother, let me ask, are you willing to sell this oil to your door?"

The oil seller wiped his face and said: "The ones in the town can usually be delivered to the door. If it is not in the town, then it depends on the distance of the road. If you want less, it is not easy to come to the door. This How much oil do you want, little brother, and how far is your home from here?"

Duan Jie calculated in his mind, "Don't worry, my house is not in the town, but it's not far away. It's in Hekou Village, only more than 30 miles away from here. I want a lot of oil. Sesame oil costs five catties, and vegetable oil costs four catties." Ten catties. Brother, if you are willing to deliver it to your door, you might as well bring more oil, there must be other people in the village who want to buy it." Duan Jie didn't want to buy forty or fifty catties of oil and then move back to Hekou Village by himself, even if it was Sitting in an ox cart from the same village.After all, several people gather together every time they go to the market, and every household will buy some necessities, and every time they go back, it is extremely crowded.He brought up another large tank of oil and asked others what to do.

Hekou Village is tens of miles away from the town. The oil seller hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Duan Jie hurriedly said, "Brother, if you go, I will give you another ten cents for your hard work." Money, but it’s a lot. If it’s what this little brother said, everyone in the village will buy some oil, then he can definitely bring more. In addition to what this little brother wants, selling another twenty or thirty catties is more expensive than township oil. Earn a little more online.

"Sure, then when will I go to your village." The oil seller nodded, Duan Jie was very happy, "Tomorrow will be fine."

The two sides set a time and left separately.Duan Jie went straight to the grain store, first picked three buckets of mung beans, a few catties of glutinous rice, and saw the red beans sold in the store, and remembered the bean paste buns he used to eat.Simply ask for another bucket of red beans.If you want to make bean paste buns, besides red beans, you need to buy some sugar. Duan Jie put the beans in the tea stall next to the oxcart, asked the boss to help watch, and went to the grocery store again, and asked for five catties of white sugar. It is said to be white sugar, but it is not as white as the current sugar, and it is still a little yellow.But it is also very rare.

The guy who secretly followed behind him quietly wrote down all the things Duan Jie bought, especially the mung beans with a cold attribute, which made the guy think about it. Could it be that this is one of the raw materials for the medicine?

Speaking of which, the guy worked very hard, he didn't dare to get too close to Duan Jie, and he was afraid that he would lose someone if he got too far away. When they got on the bullock cart and went back, the guy worked even harder. .Because there were not many passers-by on that path, he could only follow him from a distance, and almost lost his way several times. When he followed him to Hekou Village, it was almost dark.Traveling at night is a very dangerous thing, especially in this weather, without a torch, it is a dream to walk dozens of miles back to the town in one's own safety.After the guy groaned a few times, he decided to find someone's house to stay for the night, regardless of 21.

Regardless of how unlucky the guy is here.When Duan Jie came back, he cooked a pot of porridge with glutinous rice and red beans with preserved fruits, red dates and dried fruits.The porridge is rotten, glutinous, sweet and delicious, and it makes you smile when you eat it.The little guy drank half a bowl of porridge in one go, and ate half an egg yolk, and his belly became round.But when Tuantuan saw that his father and Sang Feng were about to finish the porridge, the little guy became anxious and pointed at the pot.Duan Jie was stunned for a moment, and continued to serve porridge, Tuantuan was about to grin as he watched.As soon as Duan Jie put the porridge bowl on the table, the little guy pulled the bowl to his side.This will protect the food.
