After entering the alley and walking not far, I looked up and saw a very inconspicuous drug store. There was only a sign at the door that said "Baiyao Tang".

I smelled the fragrance of medicine at the door. When I got closer, I saw that the medicine cabinets were neatly arranged. A medicine boy was skillfully preparing medicine for the patient. Several people could be vaguely seen in the single room next door. Mu Qingyue I waited beside him for a while.

After the medicine boy finished his work, he saw Mu Qingyue standing nearby, walked over and asked, "Girl, are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"

"No, I picked the herbs and prepared them. I want to ask if you can collect them here?" Mu Qingyue replied quickly after hearing the medicine boy's question.

"I can't decide this. I'll ask my master for you. You sit here for a while." After hearing Mu Qingyue's intention, the medicine boy walked into the inner room.

The medicine boy had a very good attitude and did not treat Mu Qingyue coldly because of the shabby clothes. After a while, he saw an old man walking in a robe with gray hair and high energy. He thought this should be him. Master.

"Are you here to sell herbal medicine?" the old doctor asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I don't know what to call it?"

"My surname is Yin. I usually call me Doctor Yin. Let me take a look at the herbs you brought." Doctor Yin said slowly, stroking his beard.

Mu Qingyue quickly put down the basket on her back and took out the herbs from it: Rhizoma Cortex, plantain, motherwort... "Do you think these are ready?"

Yin Da stepped forward to check the condition and said, "Not bad, not bad. I just happened to be too busy right now, so I didn't have time to replenish the medicinal materials. These should last for a while. Are these all made by you? They are pretty good." , do you still have some at home? If you have some, bring them over when you have time. I still need some."

Mu Qingyue was very happy when she heard this and said hurriedly: "Yes, I just didn't carry it on my back. I will definitely bring it with me next time."

"Well," Dr. Yin wiped his hands and said to Mu Qingyue: "You have done all this, and I won't lower your price. I'll give you 30 cents per catty for Tuhuanglian, 24 cents for motherwort, and 24 cents for plantain. Fifteen cents per pound, what do you think? There is nothing higher than this in this county."

Mu Qingyue also understood that the price was acceptable and said: "Yes, thank you Doctor Yin for taking care of me."

Doctor Yin waved his hand. "Qingzhu, come and weigh the little girl and settle the accounts for her!" After saying that, he went in and started working again.

It turned out that the medicine boy just now was named Qingzhu. Qingzhu took the basket and said, "Let's weigh it over here."

Mu Qingyue hurriedly followed.

"Eight pounds of Rhizoma Coriander Lian, four pounds of Motherwort, and three pounds of Plantain, a total of three hundred and eighty-one cents." Qingzhu's abacus was done very quickly, and it didn't take long to calculate.

"Are you correct in your calculations again? If there are no mistakes, I will get you a copper plate." Qingzhu put down the abacus and said to Mu Qingyue.

"Yes, Brother Qingzhu, you are so awesome. Thank you so much for today." Mu Qingyue praised.

Qingzhu's face turned red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. "You have to count a lot, and you will gradually become familiar with it. Master taught me better!" He turned around and took out the copper plate from the cash box and handed it to Mu Qingyue. "You count?"

Mu Qingyue took it and took a look at it and said, "That's right, I'm leaving first. I'll send it over after you put it away at home."

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

"Well, see you next time." Mu Qingyue touched the copper plate in her pocket, feeling extremely excited.

Although Brother Leng gave me more than three taels yesterday, it was like giving it away for free. This is the first pot of gold she has earned on her own. Now that she has figured out the way, she can collect more next time. The most important thing now is to earn more money to prepare for emergencies.

Mu Qingyue was walking on the street, thinking that she rarely came to the county town, so she planned to walk around. When she saw a tea shop in front of her, she felt a little thirsty and found a table to sit down.

Seeing this, the proprietress hurriedly came over to greet her. "Girl, what would you like to drink?"

"Here comes a pot of boiled water." Rather than tasting tea, Mu Qingyue still likes to drink scented tea, which has a light fragrance. She has made several scented teas and they are very popular. However, the conditions are limited now, so she still drinks some. Quench your thirst with plain water!

When you have time, go to the mountains to pick some wild chrysanthemums, dry them, and keep them for tea.

With a pot of tea in her stomach, Mu Qingyue stood up and was about to call the landlady to ask how much it would cost. She saw the landlady chatting animatedly with the bun seller next to her. "Have you heard? Butcher Li, who sells meat in front of me, is going to talk about marriage again. What do you mean? He already had two wives before him, who would dare to marry him!"

"Isn't that right? The two people in front of me lived really badly. I live next door to his house and I often heard him beating and scolding his wife. I heard! His two wives were beaten to death by him. He We are all famously cruel here, who dares to have anything to do with him! He always goes to the countryside to find a wife, and people who are far away don’t know his background. "

"Oh, how wicked! I don't know which unlucky guy fell in his fancy. If he fell in love with her, another girl would be harmed." The bun boss's wife looked pityful.

"Who says it's not?"

"Mrs. Boss, pay the bill." After hearing this, Mu Qingyue thought for a moment and thought about the butcher she had just passed by the butcher who was selling meat. He was very strong and had a fierce look on his face.

It seems that he was the one who caused a lot of controversy in the wife abuse case in his previous life. It seems that his third wife also died. The woman was also from the countryside, but she had three brothers. After the woman died, her three brothers came to the door, and then they came. The county government reported the case, and it was discovered that Butcher Li had violent tendencies and that he had beaten all three of his wives to death.

The tea shop owner hurriedly turned around and said, "Hey, here you go, don't talk anymore, I'm going to work first."

"Two pence in total."

"Okay." Mu Qingyue took out two coins from her pocket and handed them to the landlady, then put the matter down and continued to look forward.

Mu Qingyue saw that there were many people selling things on both sides, and it was very lively. She also wanted to buy some things. When she thought that the family hadn't separated yet, buying them back would be troublesome, so she gave up after thinking about it.

Mu Qingyue walked around a lot and found that there were two large restaurants in the county, not far apart. The restaurant called Yixiantian was very busy with people coming and going, and there were no empty seats inside.

The restaurant opposite called Dongshunlai only had a few people there, so it was obviously not as good as Yixiantian's business.

Mu Qingyue thought of the recipes of famous dishes recorded in the book, as well as medicinal diets, thinking that people who used to be very picky about food would be full of praise after eating them.

It's a pity that her sincerity did not end well. Mu Qingyue put aside the resentment in her heart and was full of fighting spirit.

Seeing that it was almost time for the oxcart to go back, Mu Qingyue was ready to go there. Next time she came, she could come to the restaurant to look for opportunities. She knew how to cook so many dishes, so she would try again then. Mu Qingyue had a plan in mind.

When they came to the place where the bullock cart stopped, there were already many people sitting on the cart. Mu Qingyue went up to find an empty seat and sat down. After a while, she heard the driver driver shouting: "Sit tight and start walking!"

When they arrived at the village, people got off the car one after another, and Mu Qingyue also followed. There was still some distance to her village, so Mu Qingyue didn't waste any time and walked towards home.
