Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 35 Market News
Grandma Zhao seemed to have suffered a huge blow. Ever since she fainted that day, she was a little crazy when she woke up.

You can often see her wandering around the village, and when she sees people in their 20s, she will rush to call Xiu'e, and then cry.

At the beginning, the villagers felt sorry for her and would listen to her patiently before sending her home.

But everyone has their own affairs, how can they go crazy with her every time?Over time, people will take a detour when they see her.

In the recent period, Zhao Min's small life was very comfortable, without Zhao Xiu'e's fault finding from time to time, Zhao Min also took over the work of picking herbs.

Gu Po has full trust in Zhao Min now, which shows that Zhao Min's activities are no longer restricted, and sometimes even when she goes to the town's market to buy things, Gu Po also safely lets her go by herself.

This day is the bazaar, and Zhao Min was ordered by Mrs. Gu to go shopping again.

It's just that Gu Po is old, even if she knows martial arts and is more agile than her peers, Zhao Min can't bear her running back and forth.

What's more, let alone Gu Lingqing, as long as he appears in a place with people, he has to work hard to pretend to be stupid. It would be more comfortable for him to stay in the room all day.

"Big biscuits, freshly baked big biscuits..."

"Meat buns, thin skin and lots of meat, delicious big meat buns..."

There was an endless stream of hawking on the street, Zhao Min pursed his lips, touched his stomach that had already protested to him, and decided to eat first.

As soon as it was dawn, Zhao Min rushed from home to the town. Smelling the strong smell of rice on the street, Zhao Min sat down directly in front of a wonton shop.

"Boss, two meat buns and a bowl of wontons."

"Okay, guest officer, come right away!" The shop waiter quickly agreed, and after a while, Zhao Min's order was brought up.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhao Min hiccupped regardless of her appearance, paid the money, got up and left, and walked towards the cloth village. She did not forget what Gu Po told her this morning.

After Zhao Min entered the cloth shop, the boss saw that she was wearing coarse clothes, so he didn't stand up to greet her.

Zhao Min didn't care too much. After comparing the fabric samples Gu Po asked him to buy, he found the one that Gu Po asked him to buy: "Boss, half a piece of this kind of cloth."

"okay!"

Although the boss knew that Zhao Min couldn't buy much, who would refuse a profitable business?Immediately helped her cut the cloth neatly.

Fang Min wrapped the half piece of cloth in a bundle and carried it on his back, which was quite heavy.

Zhao Min didn't know the ancient measurement units. Gu Po said that she bought half a horse, but Zhao Min reckoned it would be six or seven meters. It seemed that they were making new clothes, one for each person.

Hey, Zhao Min thought that she would not feel heavy after wearing new clothes, so she walked towards the vegetable place full of energy.

Zhao Min guessed right, Gu Po was indeed going to make new clothes, and also made three clothes, but she made two clothes for Gu Lingqing and one body for Zhao Min.

"mother!"

Suddenly, a child's voice attracted Zhao Min to stop. Zhao Min walked towards the secluded alley, and saw a child crying beside a woman. It turned out that the woman fell to the ground.

Zhao Min quickly stepped forward to help her up, and saw that the woman's face was sallow and her eyes were bloodshot.

"Thank you, cough cough, thank you, cough cough." The woman coughed so badly that she couldn't complete a few words.

"Mother, don't talk anymore." A seven or eight-year-old child next to him tried his best to help the woman pat her back on tiptoe.

"Eldest sister, you have such a bad cough, why don't you go get some medicine?"

Speaking of this, the woman shook her head and shed tears, and the child was also sad.

"Sigh, the medicine in Renjitang is too expensive, we really can't afford that much money."

Zhao Min frowned, "Renji Hall?"

"Miss, ahem, you don't know Renjitang?"

Zhao Min shook his head lightly, he had never heard of this name in Yuanshen's memory.

"Well, ahem, that Renji Hall..."

"Mother, stop talking!" The child said anxiously, "I said."

"Sister, Renjitang is the only pharmacy in the town. It is the only one, and the price was fair before. But since their master died of illness, the young master took over the management right, and the price has been raised. We poor people You can't afford it at all!"

When the child said these words, his fists were clenched tightly. He didn't know where he learned these words, and it didn't seem like he could say them as a child.

Zhao Min frowned after hearing this. Although the town is not big, plus the surrounding villages, there are thousands of people. There is only one medicine hall, so it is inevitable that the price will be raised.

Zhao Min took the woman's hand to feel her pulse, and the woman asked in amazement, "Miss, can you feel the pulse?"

Zhao Min nodded to her: "Know a little bit, open your mouth and let out a loud ah."

Although the woman was surprised by her way of seeing a doctor, she followed suit. After looking at her throat and tongue coating, Zhao Min stretched her eyes again, and came to a conclusion in her mind.

It was just a cough caused by a common cold. It got worse because it hadn't been treated and hadn't had a good rest.

"How much does the pharmacy ask you for your disease?"

Hearing what the woman said, Zhao Min's eyes widened. This price is enough for the living expenses of the three members of the Gu family for a week.

It was just a matter of a few medicines, but they were sold so outrageously, Zhao Min was very angry.

The child saw that Zhao Min's expression was not good, and he was a little worried: "Sister, what's wrong with my mother?"

Zhao Min recovered, squatted down, and patted the child's head: "Don't worry, little friend, it's just a cold."

"Cold?" The child and the woman looked confused, and Zhao Min realized that he was not in the 21st century.

"It's just an ordinary wind and cold."

"Wind chill? Normal?"

The child was obviously very surprised by Zhao Min's statement.

Only then did Zhao Min recall that in ancient times, wind-cold, cough and asthma were not a minor illness. If it was not handled properly and not treated in time, it would be fatal.

At this moment, Zhao Min's thoughts were spinning a thousand times. If he remembered correctly, among the herbs he picked in the valley a few days ago, there was medicine for treating wind-cold and cough.

But it would take two hours to go back and forth from here, Zhao Min hesitated for a while, and made his own decision at that time.

"I have a way to help you, but I need two hours. Can you wait for me here? Please believe me, I will definitely be back in two hours."

The woman also saw that Zhao Min sincerely wanted to help her, besides, she had some medical skills, and she was desperate at the moment, so she nodded, "Go, girl, we believe what you said."
