Today, there are about ten people in the village going to Shangwei Market. Some of them set out before dawn carrying their own eggs, or braided straw sandals, bamboo baskets, net bags and other items.

There were also some women who used an egg as road fare and took Su Qingqing's ox cart to go to the fair.

When Su Qingqing is silent, her temperament is very cold.

The whole person is incompatible with the small fishing village. From her clothes to her appearance, she looks like a noble girl.

But the aunts in the small fishing village will not be easily deterred. It is a rare opportunity to not go to the fields or weave. Everyone has a strong desire to communicate, and the desire to get close to Su Qingqing is even stronger.

"Young lady, what are you covering in this boxy piece of oilcloth?" The speaker was Wu Chunfang, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Tian Er, the only sixty-year-old man in the village. At this moment, she looked fawning. Smiled at Su Qingqing.

In fact, she may not be too curious, she just wants to talk to Su Qingqing, just to get close.

Miracle doctor, there is nothing wrong with establishing a good relationship, especially when there are two elderly people at home.

Mr. Tian Er has five daughters in total. They are all married and will only return to their parents’ home every few years.

These days in the Tang Dynasty are different from those in later generations. After a daughter is married, whether she can return to her parents' home to visit relatives or move around depends on her husband's family's wishes.Unfortunately, the five daughters of Mr. Tian Er’s family are not able to come back and move around often.

Fortunately, Mr. Tian and his wife also have an old man, Wu Chunfang's man Tian Youliang.

This old man was born unexpectedly at the age of 40, when Mr. Tian thought he would be wiped out.

With Tian Youliang, the old couple finally had someone to take care of them until they die.

But after all, the family was poor, and the old couple's savings were limited. Because they were sick and spent a lot of money, after marrying Tian Youliang's wife, they were basically unable to do anything else to help.

Tian Youliang was born late, his sisters were married long ago, and his parents were old and in poor health, unable to do much work. The family relied on him for support very early on.

However, Tian Youliang was born with seasickness and could not get rid of it no matter how hard he practiced. He fainted as soon as he got on the boat. He was unable to fish with his tribe to make money, so he could only go to the fishing dock to work as a laborer to support his family.

Their family is living a relatively difficult life in a small fishing village.

Su Qingqing is quite familiar with the couple Wu Chunfang and Tian Youliang.

Mainly because Wu Chunfang often came to Zhang's house to exchange eggs for herbs, and Tian Youliang often helped Su Qingqing carry water.

Since Wu Chunfang asked, the other women on the bullock cart looked over.

Facing everyone's curious eyes, Su Qingqing didn't want to hide anything from anyone, so she directly replied: "It's soap and soap."

"What is this? I've never heard of it." Wu Chunfang was really curious now.

Su Qingqing explained: "It's used for washing clothes and taking a bath, just like the bath beans in the medicine hall."

"What are bath beans? Do they grow on trees or in fields? Can we grow them?" Zhang's next door neighbor, Zhao, interjected and asked.

The women in the small fishing village have never heard of bath beans.

They can't afford this kind of thing, so people in the medicine hall will naturally not promote it to them.Only Mr. Zhang, who has lived in the county and is the wife of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, understands.

She smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, bath beans don't grow on trees or in the soil. They are concocted and prepared by medical workers in the medicine hall. They require many precious Chinese medicinal materials and spices, and are worth a lot of money."

"Ah, so this soap and soap are also made from Chinese medicinal materials and spices?" As soon as they heard that it was related to medicinal materials and spices, everyone started to gasp.There is never a time when these two things are cheap. Only when people are too sick to get out of bed can they go to the medicine hall to grab some medicine, and most of the time they have to carry it.

Since Zhang's family was born in the small fishing village, everyone can barely afford some of the most common medicinal soups when they are sick, such as Bupleurum soup or Dandelion soup.

Of course, these are not formal Chinese medicine prescriptions, they are just crude versions of home remedies and folk remedies.

The real Bupleurum soup also adds astragalus, pinellia, ginger and ginseng, which is not something people in their small fishing village can afford.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang's medical skills were considered poor in the small fishing village.Even if she could recite the prescription, the people in the village couldn't afford the medicine, so what could she do?

The disease cannot be cured by mouth alone, and she doesn't know acupuncture.

And Su Qingqing has water god energy, so she can cheat without taking medicine.

The last time the woman in Chenjiazhuang was saved from committing suicide by eating poisonous mushrooms, she only used the water god's energy. She didn't use any expensive medicinal materials that could make her family poor or couldn't afford it at all.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Su Qingqing satisfied everyone's curiosity, opened the cotton cloth covering the basket, took out the square-shaped soap she planned to use for display, and handed it to Wu Chunfang nearby: "This is soap , laundry guy.”

Everyone passed it around one after another, and put it under their noses to smell it, cautiously, for fear that they would not be able to pay for it if it was damaged.

Finally, the soap was passed back to Su Qingqing, and she took out another round piece of light cyan soap: "This is mosquito repellent soap. Taking a bath with it can prevent mosquito bites."

"Ah, it can also repel mosquitoes. This soap is so good." Mrs. Zhao sighed, took the soap and smelled it, and exclaimed, "It smells so good, and after smelling it, my head seems to feel better."

"Really? Let me smell it too."

Everyone in the oxcart passed the soap hand to hand and smelled the soap again, and finally returned it to Su Qingqing.

Mosquito repellent soap is added with Liushen toilet water, which contains mint, clove, lily and rosemary. Of course it is fragrant and refreshing.

Mint is generally distributed in Jiangnan Province, but is not common in the mountains and forests of Lingnan Province.Therefore, the people in the small fishing village have never seen mint, and of course they cannot smell it. They have no words to describe it.

They mainly rely on grass ropes woven from mugwort and mugwort to repel mosquitoes. They are dried and then moistened and then lit, which is considered a kind of smoke.

Of course, this was a method of repelling mosquitoes for the poor in the Tang Dynasty. The nobles had many ways to repel mosquitoes.

There are sachets filled with mint, patchouli, fennel, star anise and other Chinese medicinal materials to repel mosquitoes; there are also those that directly hang expensive "Cuisha Zhigui" to repel mosquitoes; there are also plants such as patchouli and tuberose in the yard to repel mosquitoes. of.

In ancient times, the poor had a hard life, but the nobles did not.

Almost every house of the nobles of Lingnan Road is equipped with a green gauze curtain - that is, a mosquito net.It was only in the Song Dynasty that this kind of thing was introduced from the homes of nobles to the homes of ordinary people, just like toothpaste and toothbrushes.

The Chinese ancestors had infinite wisdom and invented such a simple and crude anti-mosquito tool in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Unlike foreign barbarians, during the modern Olympics, they were still surprised to see the mosquito nets in the hands of the Chinese national team.

The bullock cart drove towards the market in Daya Town while everyone was sighing at the soap and soap in Su Qingqing's basket.

In fact, markets are not only found in towns, but also in temples and Taoist temples on the mountains, which are generally called temple fairs.

But for people in the small fishing village, having Su Qingqing's ox cart makes going to town more enjoyable.
