The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 112 Ginseng
Zhong Gensheng nodded and said: "You are always right. I believe you. I will not bargain. The family is really in short supply...how much is it, just say it."

"Old Wangtou costs 90 taels, Gensheng, what do you think? If you think it's expensive, I'll ask others if they have it?!" Niu Laogen said.

Cattle were an important productive force in this agricultural society during the Great Yu Dynasty, so there was very little beef sold in the market, and private suicide of cattle was not allowed. The sale of cattle also had to be approved by the government and a certain tax had to be paid, otherwise It is not recognized, but it is very strict anyway, and the price of cattle is much more expensive than that of donkeys.

A small donkey can be bought back at most ten taels, while a calf needs at least two or thirty taels to be settled, and a big cow, especially a strong one, can be bought at least five or sixty taels.

Therefore, hearing that Niu Laogen only quoted 90 taels, and it was a female cow, Zhong Gensheng was overjoyed and said: "It's not expensive, it's really not expensive. You can trust me. When will he sell it? He went to the government to go through the formalities..."

"Sure, but I have to take you to have a look, I think it's okay, but you are the buyer, you have to take a look, right?!" Niu Laogen laughed.

Zhong Gensheng said: "Then let's go together tomorrow afternoon, I have to go to the city in the morning."

It was not uncommon for Zhong's family to go to the city, so Niu Laogen didn't ask him what he was doing, so he nodded in agreement.Niu Laogen saw that it was getting dark and wanted to keep Zhong Gensheng for dinner, but Zhong Gensheng was not willing, returned the donkey cart and left in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's easy to use your donkey, but I can't adapt to changing cattle later. The donkey has been fed with fodder, you don’t need to feed it at night, I’ll come back tomorrow morning and use it..."

Niu Laogen had no choice but to watch him go. He thought that maybe Zhong Gensheng had never handled the donkey before and didn't know how to keep it warm before sending it back. It seemed that he had to teach Zhong Gensheng how to raise the donkey.

In fact, the cow is not delicate even if it is delicate, and it is delicate if it is not delicate. If you do not handle it well, it will naturally get sick.

The Zhong family has never raised cattle, so they are probably very worried.

Early the next morning, Zhong Gensheng came to lead the donkey cart, then went to pick up Li Zheng, and the two of them secretly set off from the village early.

The main reason is to avoid unnecessary trouble, and let the people in the village see it, and they will be talkative again.The Zhong family always buys land, so there is no need to reveal it now. Lizheng also has his own thoughts. For Chunxiang, he is naturally happy to establish a good relationship with the Zhong family, so Zhong Gensheng came to pick him up early. What's more, he brought a lot of stewed meat to his family... Lizheng was very happy in his heart.

Still the same as last time, I found the documents, issued the red deed, paid the tax and silver, and gave the documents another two taels of silver, and spent a total of 76 taels of silver.

Zhong Gensheng was in a happy mood, and carefully put the red deed into his arms, and went to inquire about which medical center was better, and hurriedly invited the doctor to go down with him for a consultation. Fortunately, Zhong Gensheng went to the countryside willingly for the doctor. So he stuffed a tael of silver first.

Even if the doctor didn't want to go to the countryside anymore, for the sake of money, he reluctantly agreed.

After getting into the donkey cart, he went back to the village in a bumpy manner. After sending Lizheng back, Zhong Gensheng took the doctor back home.

When Lizheng arrived home, it happened that Lizheng's wife was cooking, smelling the aroma of stewed meat and rice steaming in the pot, Lizheng was very happy.

Lady Lizheng smiled and said, "Is it done?!"

Li Zheng nodded.

Mrs. Lizheng smiled and said: "The Zhong family is really getting better and better. They just bought land, and this time they bought land again, but why did they buy wasteland again?! This time his family won't build a house again?! If it is farming, you should buy a good field, why..." She was stunned for a while, and then said: "I don't understand, there is a reason for wanting to come to his family, anyway, their family does not lack the money... "

"You, don't worry about it. Look at the Zhong family, no matter what they do, which one is not successful? There is a little God of Wealth in his family, and the God of Wealth will take care of him. As for what their family buys land, it will be up to you at that time." I know..." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Mrs. Lizheng smiled and said: "That's right, what the hell am I doing, I just want to be like you, and don't need anything, just help their family with their errands, hehe..."

Thinking of her daughter Chunxiang, Mrs. Lizheng was even more happy, "Our Chunxiang family is one of the best in eight villages in ten miles, and it is worthy of Zhong's family."

Li Zheng smiled and said nothing.Seeing that he was holding a paper bag in his hand, Mrs. Lizheng asked, "What is this?!"

"Tea, Zhong Gensheng insisted on buying good tea for me in the city..." Li Zheng said with a smile: "He is getting more and more good at handling things, and he has become much more tactful. He was really honest before, man, he really needs it." Experienced..."

Mrs. Lizheng smiled lightly and said: "This year our family has had a lot of money from Zhong's family. The rice, braised pork, some vegetables, pastries, and the tea in your hand... pulled a cart over for the New Year, and we I haven't finished eating yet, and I bought you some tea?! Their house is really good..."

Li Zheng was in a better mood when he heard that, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this gift will be indispensable in the New Year's Day in the future. If Chunxiang remarries, there will only be better ones..."

"Isn't it..." Mrs. Lizheng said, already very satisfied with the Zhong family.

The two talked and laughed without mentioning it.

The old doctor had a rough ride all the way, and it took him a long time to come to his senses in the courtyard of the Zhong family. After seeing the courtyard, he suddenly realized that he was able to give a tael of silver generously. It turns out that the family conditions are so good. Seeing that Zhong Gensheng was wearing very ordinary clothes, he was a little puzzled, and then went into the room to feel He Axiu's pulse.

The whole family looked at him, concentrated for fear of interrupting the old doctor. The old doctor felt his beard and felt his pulse. After a long time, he smiled and said: "It's not serious, it's just that I suffered too much when I was young, and now I'm sick. It all came up, and it concentrated on the eyes and something happened, and the anger was a little bit hot. I prepared some medicine and fried it for half a month. Just don't do it..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded hurriedly, seeing that what he said was not serious, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Doctor, please prescribe the medicine..."

The old doctor took the pen and paper brought by Shen Sisi and began to write the prescription, while Shen Sisi was watching from the side.The old doctor saw that there were still pens and paper in the house, and felt that the family still had some foundation. Seeing Shen Sisi staring at him, he smiled and said: "Little baby, you can also read?!"

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "I can't read, but I have two older brothers who are studying and they can read."

"Really?!" The old doctor chuckled and said, "Why don't you go to school!?"

"I'm a girl..." Shen Sisi was extremely helpless, everyone thought she was a kid.

The old doctor was taken aback, and said: "I really can't tell, why are you a girl?" He smiled, seeing that the girl was quite clever, he smiled and said: "If you were a boy, I would like to take you in." The little medicine boy I made..."

Shen Sisi smiled at him, rolling her eyes in her heart, she is living a good life, so she doesn't want to be someone else's medicine boy, she just doesn't do it after listening to his orders and looking at his face, it's too sad.

The old doctor quickly prescribed the medicine, and said: "Let's prescribe fifteen doses first, one dose a day, decoct it once in the morning and drink it, and decoct it again in the evening, pour out the medicine residue... remember three bowls of water decocted into one bowl ..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded hurriedly, took it over, and said, "Doctor, I'll take you back to the city..."

The old doctor nodded and said: "Sure, but I'll rest for a while, I'm getting old, and I can't bear the bumps back and forth..." He sighed.

Shen Sisi laughed straight after hearing this.

Zhong Gensheng gave the red deed in his arms to Shen Sisi and said: "Tu Niu, put it away, wait for someone from the yamen to measure the land in the afternoon, and I have to prepare some money and tea..."

"Success, let me prepare..." Shen Sisi responded, and put away the red deed.

"It cost a total of more than 22 taels, plus the afternoon expenses, the land of 80 mu is only [-] taels..." Zhong Gensheng's face was full of joy, "Now our family is also a landowner, so we need to buy some more fields. We are the landlords..."

Shen Sisi laughed when he heard that.He also gave Zhong Gensheng a lot of money, and said: "Father, I see that there is a relatively expensive ginseng on the prescription, so bring more money, if you don't have enough money, you have to make a trip for nothing."

Zhong Gensheng hurriedly responded, and whispered: "Don't tell your mother, if she knows that she has eaten ginseng, she may feel distressed."

"I know, don't tell her. If she asks, she will say that she only spent a few taels of silver on the medicine..." Shen Si thought.

"Success, that's what we all said..." Zhong Gensheng put away the money with a smile.

The old doctor drank some tea, rested, and then returned to the city in Zhong Gensheng's donkey cart, and he had to go back to the restaurant.Zhong Gensheng gave another one or two taels of silver, and when he came back, he brought back fifteen packages of medicine.

Shen Sisi took a pair to cook in the kitchen, and secretly got some spring water from the space to make medicine. With this clear spring and small ginseng, it is estimated that He Axiu's illness will recover quickly...

While decocting the medicine over a low fire, he boiled water to make tea, thinking that when people came from the yamen, he would take it to quench their thirst.

When Dabao and the others came back from selling braised pork, the family had finished eating and the medicine was ready.

Shen Sisi fell down, took it in and handed it to He Axiu, saying: "Mother, come to drink the medicine..."

He Axiu felt a little guilty, and said: "Actually, it's not a serious illness, just take care of it, what kind of medicine do you take? This medicine is expensive?! I think the old doctor is quite old, and the consultation fee is probably not cheap, why not Invite Li Laitou to come, and save money, just give him some things, his medicines are all picked in the mountains, and he doesn't need money..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "People's eyes are a big problem, how can we find him, Li Laitou is good at treating trauma, he doesn't know much about internal medicine, how can he be careless, mother, the old lady is good, The outpatient fee is not much, and the medicine is also cheap. The total is only a few taels of silver. What is it worth? Earning money is for spending, mother, your body is important, take a good rest, don't think too much, think too much, instead of recuperating Oh no……"

He Axiu is a person who can't be idle at all, so she took the medicine helplessly and drank it, saying: "Seeing that you are so busy and I'm so idle, it's really uncomfortable..."

Shen Sisi laughed straight, and said: "When the mother recovers, naturally you will be busy, what's the rush at this time?!"

He Axiu finally relaxed, and said with a smile: "Just don't be too tired, if you are really too busy, mother will help you..."

"Mother, don't think about anything, take a good rest for half a month and then don't go out of the house, blow the wind carefully and get a headache..." Shen Sisi said: "The doctor said that you can't blow the wind after drinking this medicine, so as not to cause trouble if you get cold air. It's..."

"Alas..." He Axiu responded helplessly.

Shen Sisi helped her to lie on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said, "Mother, sleep well, and don't come out no matter what happens. Xiaohua still wants to see you, so I sent her back to the room. She was fine yesterday too." Sad, I have been crying for a long time, I guess I will have a headache if the wind blows again... How cold is it now?!"

"You also persuade her not to think too much. This girl has a lot of thoughts and she doesn't worry about everything. If you accumulate it, you will easily get sick. In fact, there is nothing you can't think about..." He Axiu said.
