I sell morning tea in ancient times

Chapter 19 "Compendium of Materia Medica"

Cheers from around came to my ears, Mrs. Qi explained with some embarrassment: "It's not because of my excellent medical skills, but because the solution to this aquatic plant is really simple."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "What kind of grass is this weed? The poison is so fierce, it is really frightening. Can the old lady describe the appearance of this grass and the method of detoxification in detail? I feel like I lost my life.”

Mrs. Qi nodded, and said in detail: "This kanshui weed is also called kanshui poisonous weed. It likes shade and loves water. It often grows beside the streams in deep mountains and old forests. It is not big, and it is only palm high when it grows to the limit. Ye Kuan Like a sword, black and purple; white as stars, small and odorless. The longer the age, the stronger the toxicity."

"But you don't have to worry. This aquatic plant is very rare because of its strong toxicity, which is not tolerated by heaven. You can't find more than a dozen plants in a deep mountain and old forest. And although its toxicity is fierce, the solution is very simple. Regardless of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, bird eggs, etc., remove the yolk and take the clear, pour it into three big bowls, spit it out, and the poison will be cured.”

"I have written it down, I have written it down." People smiled and thanked: "Thank you, old lady, thank you, old lady."

In the lively thanksgiving, the pale and stiff faces of the men and women seemed particularly strange.

Meteor snorted heavily, and raised his voice: "You have seen it, he didn't eat the food in our store, but got poisoned by eating the Laoshizikan aquatic plants! You came to our store to make trouble, we are not angry , but asked the old lady to save his life, wouldn't you thank me?"

A man by the door said loudly: "That's right! Not only did they not blame you, but they also saved your husband and brother's life. Why are you not only not happy, but also unhappy?"

The person next to the man opened the folding fan with a snap, and said in a voice that seemed to be lowered but could be heard by everyone: "Didn't you hear what the old lady said just now? This poisonous weed is very rare. You can find it all over the deep mountains and old forests." I can’t find many plants, so why let him eat them?”

He suddenly raised his voice, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you know this poison is easy to cure, so you deliberately ate it and came to the store?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" The leader roared angrily as if he had been stepped on a sore spot.

"Hey, it's so loud, who are you scaring?" On a cold day, the person being yelled at shook his folding fan coquettishly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought he was very romantic, "Could it be that I was right? , turned from embarrassment into anger?"

The leading man glared at him fiercely, apparently taking all his anger on him, the fox-eyed stared back, not to be outdone.

He glanced at Tao Zhiyun and the others, and said unwillingly: "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, then that's all."

"let's go!"

"Wait," Fox Eye said with a smile: "Shouldn't you apologize and thank you, and clean up the place before you leave? If you just leave like this, I'm afraid the store will report to the official later and let you I couldn't eat and walked away."

Hearing the word "report to the official", the men and the weak woman froze.The woman grabbed her palms and said in a soft voice: "What this young master said is that it is indeed inappropriate for us to leave like this."

"Thank you for the old lady's life-saving grace." She blessed the old lady, and then said to Tao Zhiyun: "This time I offended your store, I am very sorry, and please forgive me."

Several big men reluctantly followed to thank and apologize.

"Is there still cleaning?" Seeing that they turned their heads and wanted to leave after saying a few words, Fox Eye reminded kindly.

It's a pity that they didn't seem to appreciate his kindness.The man gave him a hard look, and said with a fake smile: "Thank you, young master, for reminding, otherwise we almost forgot." He said thank you, and looked at him as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Hu Huyan shook the folding fan lightly, and the cool breeze blew gently, causing the hair to flutter slightly, making him feel extraordinarily elegant.So he suppressed the urge to sneeze, continued to shake his fan, and looked at the man with a half-smile, until he felt uncomfortable, cursed inwardly that he was sick, and took the initiative to look away.

The few people hurriedly started to clean, and the fox eyes reminded them from time to time that they didn't clean up, and they stared one after another, and they were suddenly overjoyed.

Hahaha, fun, really fun.Hu Yan waved his fan, thinking that today's trip was really worth it, not only watched the excitement, but also satisfied his own evil taste.

After those people finished cleaning, they glared at the fox eyes bitterly, and then left reluctantly.

Fox Eye rubbed his nose and muttered, "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart."

With a smile on her face, Tao Zhiyun said gratefully: "Thank you, young master, for speaking out with righteousness."

The fox eye smiled and said: "When the road is uneven, draw your sword to help. This is what I should do. I don't need to thank you. But I think those people's clothes don't look like the people in the mountains, but they have rough water plants that can only be found in the deep mountains and old forests. I want to deliberately use this to murder your store. The store owner should think carefully about who may be offended, and then take precautions."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, young master." Tao Zhiyun gave a blessing, and then said: "I don't know who is the young master's name, and where does he live? I can also prepare a gift of thanks and send it to the house."

The fox waved his hands, turned around and walked out. His voice gradually spread into the store, "Walking around with a sword in the world, draw your sword to help when you see injustice on the road. If you ask your name and where you came from, an idler lives around alone."

Meteor ran out of the shop, glanced left and right, and wondered, "Miss, he's gone!"

Tao Zhiyun guessed: "Could it be that he is a knight with high martial arts?"

outside the store.

The fox rubbed his legs and stood up. He jumped over the wall too quickly and accidentally rolled down from the top of the wall, almost breaking his leg.He was a little annoyed, and kicked the wall hard, then lowered his voice and yelled, hugging his legs and jumping, "Hiss! It hurts!"

Although his leg hurts, he is still very satisfied in his heart. "Hey, they must think that I am a hero with strong martial arts, a warm heart, and a very cultured." He narrowed his fox eyes happily, humming an impassioned ditty, and limped towards home.

Not long after, he came to a mansion, walked to the side door familiarly, picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew twice, then knocked on the door lightly, and said in a low voice: "Asparagus bamboo , open the door quickly, your young master is back."

The side door swung open.

"You opened the door very quickly today. You did a good job. Your young master is very satisfied." Fox Eye smiled.

"Oh? Thank you so much, young master, for your compliment." An old man's voice sounded, and an old man with white beard and hair had a half-smile, grabbed Fox Eye's shoulder with his hands like iron claws, and asked kindly: "Go out today!" Are you having fun, little bunny?"

Asparagus was held up by the collar, like a little rabbit caught by the back of the neck, looking at him helplessly.

The fox-eyed face suddenly showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Grandpa?"

"Hey, my good grandson." The old man asked with a smile, "Have you finished the books and homework I asked you to memorize? You actually went out to play in Chenshi, and you just came back now. It seems that you have become more courageous."

"Grandpa, I'm not going out to have fun, I'm going to fight for justice." Fox Eye said honestly.

"Whether it's a chivalrous act or a show off for fun, do you think I can't tell?" The old man glanced at the folding fan in his hand, "It's a fact that you were lazy today, so there's no need to explain it. That's right, our grandpa and grandson haven't practiced for a long time." After that, it’s just a matter of having fun together and enhancing the relationship between our grandparents.”

Hu Huyan was about to cry immediately, but the words his grandfather said meant that his grandfather watched him being pushed to the ground and beaten by Uncle Wang, and watched him being punished by Uncle Li.Grandpa was happy, but he was going to be hit by a mixed doubles of civil and martial arts, almost peeling off a layer of skin.

"Grandpa, can't you spare your grandson this time? Grandson won't dare to do it again next time." Hmph, next time he will definitely be more careful not to be discovered by his grandpa.Foxy Eye admits his mistake obediently, and is determined not to change it.

The old man laughed like a fairy, "My dear grandson, how many times have you said this, tell me with your own conscience, will you believe it?"

"Yes!" Fox Eye said firmly.

"Oh, I forgot, you have no conscience." The old man choked on his thick skin, and then said expressionlessly.

"Wang Wu, drag him back to the mansion, let's practice hard."

"Yes!"

"No!" Hu Huyan desperately grabbed the door frame, but the hand holding the door frame was pulled away little by little, and finally the whole person was pulled into the mansion.

The side door was slammed shut.

Tao's morning tea shop.

Tao Zhiyun filled Old Madam Qi with tea, and said with a smile: "Today is really thanks to the old madam, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

"Young girl Yun can say nice things to coax me," Mrs. Qi felt relieved when she heard this, and the lines of laughter in the corners of her eyes deepened.

"Don't try to coax me, I know you have a lot of ideas in your heart. Without me, you can still solve today's trouble." Mrs. Qi nodded her head.

Tao Zhiyun smiled and frowned, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's still grandma who understands me."

"By the way, grandma, didn't you say that you are idle every day and very boring? I found something that is very suitable for you to do today. If it is done, it will benefit all people."

Mrs. Qi said with interest: "Oh? What's the matter?"

"Writing a book of herbs." Tao Zhiyun explained: "There are many poisonous weeds in this world, and there are also many beneficial ones. But most people don't know them. You have traveled all over the world with a miracle doctor since you were a child. You have traveled through countless deep mountains and old forests, and learned countless kinds of herbal medicines." If you can record the descriptions you remember according to your memory, and leave the rest to the successors to gradually improve, then the final compiled book will be passed down through the ages, and it will surely benefit the generations to come."

Mrs. Qi only felt a great pride rising in her heart, "Yun girl, your broad-mindedness and long-term vision are better than many men in this world, and I am not as good as you. You are right, I have this body for nothing. It’s a shame to have such knowledge, but not to use it to benefit the common people, but to idle away every day and waste time!”

"I want to use this ability and knowledge to compile a book of herbal medicine that will benefit all people together with my brothers, nephews, and countless newcomers!"

"Yun girl, what do you think is the name of this book?"

Tao Zhiyun thought of a wonderful book in Huaxia that recorded medicine, and said with a smile: "Compendium of Materia Medica*, how about it?"

""Compendium of Materia Medica", records medicinal herbs, and outlines them, good, good!"

Tao Zhiyun smiled and said, "Not only medicinal herbs, but also metal stones, insects, poultry, animals, etc. can be entered, and medicines and treatment methods can also be recorded."

Mrs. Qi said with a smile: "I think so too."

A wonderful book with far-reaching influence on later generations was confirmed in such an understatement, and this conversation was also talked about by later generations, and it was also printed in textbooks, which became an interesting anecdote.
