I feed my beasts by farming

Xie Guanlan came to a pharmacy named "Zhang Ji" according to his memory with a backpack on his back. Because the door just opened early in the morning, there was no business in the shop. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old apprentice was cleaning the floating dust on the medicine cabinet with a feather duster.

Sensing the dimming of the light in front of the door, the little apprentice immediately turned around.After seeing that it was Xie Guanlan who came, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still put down the feather duster in his hand and walked out of the counter.

"Is Doctor Zhang there?"

When Xie Guanlan's parents were alive, most of them lived by collecting herbs.The herbs collected and dried are generally supplied to Zhangji Pharmacy, and I am very familiar with Linji's sitting doctor.However, after the Xie couple passed away, leaving Xie Guanlan alone, fewer people came.

Because the family's field was taken by the uncle's family on the grounds that Xie Guanlan was young and unable to farm, Xie Guanlan also learned from his parents to pick herbs to subsidize the family.

It's just that he is still young, there are many cliffs, or growing on tall trees, he can only look at them but can't do anything.As a result, the amount of herbs supplied to Lin Ji was much less.

Although Zhang Ji himself does not rely on the herbal medicines sent by retail investors like Xie Guanlan, some cliffs that grow in the deep mountains can only be supplied by these people who spend their lives and money.

Fortunately, Zhang Ji's sitting doctor, Dr. Zhang, is a nostalgic person. For the sake of Xie's couple, he has always taken care of Xie Guanlan.It aroused the jealousy of the young apprentices under him, and they always treated Xie Guanlan with cold eyes.

In the past, Xie Guanlan had a poor family and her parents were gone, so she always felt inferior and dared not communicate with others.When talking with others, he always lowers his head and looks at his toes. His eyes are never as bright as today, as if he is a different person.

Therefore, as soon as Xie Guanlan spoke, apprentice Zhou Zheng immediately discovered the difference between Xie Guanlan and the past.He stopped going to the backyard to call Doctor Zhang, turned his head to look at the smiling Xie Guanlan, and looked him up and down several times with a puzzled face.

Seeing the other party standing still, Xie Guanlan couldn't help being a little puzzled, tilting his head slightly and said to Zhou Zheng: "Dare to ask, is Doctor Zhang not here?"

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he immediately came back to his senses.Twitching the corners of his mouth, he replied in a blunt tone: "Yes, you wait here, I'll go to the back and ask Mr. to come over."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhengbai gave Xie Guanlan a glance, and quickly walked towards the backyard.It's just that as soon as he walked out of the back hall, he saw Doctor Zhang walking in with a cloth towel wiping his hands.

Seeing Zhou Zheng walking towards the entrance of the back hall, Doctor Zhang asked strangely: "Why are you walking in such a hurry? But there are patients in front?"

"No, that kid from the Xie family is here. I was going to the back hall to invite you, and you just came out."

Hearing that Xie Guanlan had come, Zhang Chengliang responded blankly, but his steps were a little faster than before.

Zhou Zheng has been studying medicine with Dr. Zhang for four or five years, and he knows this master best.Seeing the master speeding up his pace, Zhou Zheng pouted secretly, and followed Zhang Chengliang back to the front hall of the medicine shop full of displeasure.

At this time, Xie Guanlan was carrying a basket on his back and kept looking at the furnishings of the pharmacy, and found that except for the smaller room, it was no different from some old costume movies he had watched before, and then he lost interest.Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he immediately turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

Doctor Zhang is just like the original body in his memory, wearing blue coarse cloth all the year round, with gentle eyes, people can't help but feel close to him when he looks at it.However, this doctor is not very old, but he has a goatee beard on his face, which looks unusually abrupt.

Xie Guanlan looked at Doctor Zhang carefully, and then called out to Doctor Zhang.Then, just like the previous one, he silently removed the pannier from his shoulders.He took out all the herbs he brought and put them on the table beside him.

Dr. Zhang was also used to the silent Xie Guanlan, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to examine the herbs that Xie Guanlan had brought out.Seeing that it was still just some common herbs for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, the color was as good as usual, and it was cleaned very cleanly, without any weeds.He nodded to Zhou Sheng who was on the side, and signaled him to put the herbs in the back warehouse.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, have you prepared the New Year's goods?"

Hearing Dr. Zhang's elder greeting, Xie Guanlan couldn't help being a little surprised, raised his head and glanced at Dr. Zhang in response.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang, for your concern. I'm the only one in the house, and a little work is enough."

If Xie Guanlan in the past heard this, he would nod his head and stop talking.Now not only did he reply, but he even dared to look up at him. Such a change surprised and surprised Dr. Zhang, but he was more happy.

He and the Xie family were also considered old friends, and the Xie family even saved his life. After Xie Guanlan was born, even his name was chosen by himself.

Thinking of the character of Xie's couple, Zhang Chengliang also wanted to be the son and daughter of Xie's couple.But with the unexpected death of Xie's couple, the mother-in-law worried that her daughter would suffer in marriage, so she refused to marry Xie's family again.

After all, the daughter is the flesh of the mother who was pregnant in October. Zhang Chengliang wanted to persist, but he had no choice but to give up.

After Zhang Chengliang knew that the Xie couple was gone, Xie Guanlan's life was not good.More than once, he wanted to help this growing child, but Xie Guanlan's attitude towards people was very indifferent since his parents passed away, and he didn't gossip with him much.If it weren't for the need to carry the newly arrived herbs to him for his livelihood, Xie Guanlan might not even be willing to enter the door.

According to Xie Guanlan's temperament, Zhang Chengliang didn't expect the child to answer his questions.Unexpectedly, Xie Guanlan not only answered, but also knew how to say thank you, which surprised Zhang Chengliang a lot.

"It's New Year's Eve, even if you're alone, you can't do it. Otherwise you..." Zhang Chengliang stopped talking immediately when he said this. Seeing that Xie Guanlan still had the same expression, he was slightly relieved.

Just when Zhang Chengliang was looking for something to say to Xie Guanlan, Zhou Zheng came out of the nearby warehouse muttering.

"Master, the chaga velvet in the warehouse has already bottomed out. If they don't send it from Dawang Village, I'm afraid they will run out of stock."

Hearing the word 'Chaga Velvet', Xie Guanlan's heart couldn't help but move.When Xie Guanlan was collecting firewood, he also saw a lot of chaga in the back of the village.It's just that I just wanted to pick up firewood at that time, and I didn't have the heart to pick this thing.However, the original body seems to have never picked this thing, probably because he is not clear about the efficacy and function of chaga.

"The mountain has been blocked by heavy snow for the past few days, and the snow on the road has reached the calf. How can I still go up the mountain? If not, I will think of other ways. At worst, I will switch to other medicines."

Hearing what his master said, Zhou Zheng naturally stopped talking.

Xie Guanlan at the side asked tentatively, "Does Doctor Zhang lack chaga?"

"Yeah, I originally ordered some herbs from Dawang Village, but the heavy snowfall two days ago probably delayed it."

For Xie Guanlan's rare question, Zhang Chengliang knew everything without saying anything.I wish I could hold Xie Guanlan more and let him say a few more words.

"There are quite a few of these things in the birch forest behind our village. If Doctor Zhang needs them here, I'll pick some and bring them to you tomorrow."

Zhang Chengliang had also been to Xie's house a few times, and knew that there was a wild forest behind their house, but unexpectedly it was a birch forest.Thinking that the forest was not far from Xie's house, and Xie Guanlan picked some to send, and he didn't take it for nothing, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

"Some birch antlers are quite tall. You can go pick them, but you have to find someone to accompany you. It's cold now, and the snow is deep in the forest. The price is ten cents per catty."

However, Xie Guanlan still doesn't understand the consumption level of this era, and he doesn't know how much a penny can buy.But looking at Zhou Zhengliang's wide-eyed look when Zhang Chengliang announced the purchase price, he also understood that Zhang Chengliang's price was already extremely high.

The grown Chaga Velvet is not light in weight. If you are lucky, you can earn a lot in the morning.

Xie Guanlan thought about it roughly, and nodded to Zhang Chengliang. "Then, I'll go into the forest for a few days to have a look, and if there is anything, I'll send it to you, Doctor Zhang." After finishing speaking, Xie Guanlan paused, and then continued: "Then, if it's okay, I'll go back first .”

Seeing that Xie Guanlan was about to leave, Zhang Chengliang remembered that the money for the herbal medicine had not been paid to him.He hurriedly opened his mouth to keep him, walked quickly to the back of the counter, counted fifty coins and handed it to Xie Guanlan.

When Xie Guanlan was hesitating whether to take the rest, the little fox in his arms seemed to have had enough sleep, struggling to crawl out.Fearing that people would discover the existence of the little fox, Xie Guanlan said thank you, reached out to take the copper plate, and put it into his arms very quickly.Then, he took the opportunity to rub the little fox's head hard.

Zhou Zheng on the side watched Xie Guanlan's movements, his eyes widened with anger.It wasn't until his master sent him out that Zhou Zheng said to Zhang Chengliang angrily, "Master, look at that kid surnamed Xie, who looks like he's being blinded by money, as if someone stole it from him."

Hearing this, Zhang Chengliang furrowed his brows and yelled at Zhou Zheng. Seeing Zhou Zheng's aggrieved face, Zhang Chengliang couldn't help but sighed.

"That child's life is very miserable. When Guanlan comes again in the future, don't have a nose that is not a nose, and eyes that are not eyes. If I see you like this again, you can go home and forget it."

Xie Guanlan happily went out with a basket on his back, found a quiet place, took the little fox out of his arms, and said to him: "Stay honestly in my arms, if people see you, be careful You snatched it and peeled it to make a hand mask!"

Ruosheng didn't know what a hand muffler was, but when Xie Guanlan said 'peeling', he knew it was to scare him, so he didn't care.Dissatisfied, he yelled at Xie Guanlan, stood up on his arm and rubbed his stomach with his front paws, indicating that he was hungry.

Seeing the little fox's actions, Xie Guanlan remembered that they rushed to the market in the morning and hadn't had breakfast yet.Regardless of the objection of the little fox's teeth and claws, Xie Guanlan forcefully stuffed him into the skirt of his clothes.Then he reached out and patted the little fox in his arms, Xie Guanlan said in a deep voice, "Don't move anymore, if you move again, I will really sell you and buy meat for Chinese New Year!"

Saying that, Xie Guanlan patted the little fox's butt lightly.

Seeing the little fox settled down and looking at him with an aggrieved face, Xie Guanlan couldn't help but smile, then patted the little guy's head soothingly, and walked to the bun shop beside him.
