Chapter 27 Visiting?

Xia Xiaoqiao also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to eat breakfast. After taking a sip of porridge, she said lightly, "Are there any other questions?"

"Cough-cough-"

Doctor Zheng coughed lightly and said uncomfortably: "Well, I don't know what kind of medicine [Angong Niuhuang Pill] that Mrs. Lu gave to the old lady of the Fang family is. I have practiced medicine for many years, but I have never heard of it. Some?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked exactly like that.

Putting down the chopsticks, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Old Zheng, this medicine is a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors. It is used to save lives. It is not easy to refine, and the medicines refined are extremely precious. After so many years, it takes only one time. pieces."

Doctor Zheng's heart was raised high, but he obviously didn't believe it, so he said without giving up:

"Miss Lu, the price is not an issue, and the old man has absolutely no intention of inquiring about the secret recipe. The main reason is that this medicine is very useful."

"It's not a question of price, the main thing is that it really doesn't exist."

Xia Xiaoqiao said so, but her earnest eyes all told the other party.

"Don't talk about it, why don't you give me a price quickly?"

Dr. Zheng obviously understood her intentions, and suddenly he was in a bad mood.

A duplicity girl.

He glared at Xia Xiaoqiao angrily, but he was sensible, and after thinking about it, he stretched out five fingers.

Xia Xiaoqiao frowned, "500 taels?"

puff---
Dr. Zheng almost spit out the sip of tea he just drank, "It's still 500 taels, why don't you grab it?"

Xia Xiaoqiao doesn't know much about the prices here, so she doesn't know how much purchasing power 500 taels have, but she knows that losing people doesn't lose, so she calmly said: "This is a life-saving medicine, 500 taels is too much? It's the money that matters. Or is life more important?"

This tone almost made Dr. Zheng angry.

Seeing him like this, Xia Xiaoqiao said with an uncertain expression, "Hey, don't tell me that you have practiced medicine for so many years, and you don't even have 500 taels of silver?"

But before old man Zheng could speak, the little disciple beside him couldn't help interjecting.

"Who do you look down on? Hmph, my master is highly skilled in medicine, and naturally he has a lot of money to cure diseases and save lives. If it wasn't for the relief of those ordinary people, why would he?"

"Changbai?"

Before the boy could finish speaking, Dr. Zheng scolded him directly, and the boy closed his mouth reluctantly.

And Xia Xiaoqiao's whole life is not well, is her relationship a charity?
But seeing a doctor these days requires money, not to mention the ancient times, it is the same in modern times, but in modern times there is medical insurance, and the state covers it all, but what is there in ancient times?
As the old saying goes, don’t have money if you don’t have anything, and don’t get sick if you have anything. If it becomes a medicine jar, it will be a bottomless pit.

Who can afford it?
Xia Xiaoqiao's complexion was not very good, and her tone was somewhat dejected: "Tell me, how much money can you pay?"

Old man Zheng coughed uncomfortably, "Five, five taels--"

Before she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao got up and was about to leave. Seeing this, the other party immediately became anxious, "Hey, if you have something to say, talk about it, why are you in a hurry?"

"Oh, please, am I not talking properly?"

Xia Xiaoqiao's whole body is not good, five taels of silver is not enough for the cost, a better horse costs seven or eighty taels of silver, okay?
How dare he just give five taels of silver?

"50 taels, at least 50 taels, otherwise no discussion."

She had never seen such a stingy person.

Seeing that she was so determined, old man Zheng immediately smiled and said, "Hey, you girl, what are you in a hurry for? The old man made a slip of the tongue just now, 50 taels, just 50 taels."

One-handed payment and one-handed delivery.

Xia Xiaoqiao exchanged the horse she rode for points with a painful face, and then exchanged it for medicine and handed it to the other party.

Compared to her, old man Zheng was obviously very happy, and he looked like he couldn't put it down, which was almost unbearable.

But no matter what you say, Xia Xiaoqiao is still very happy after getting 50 taels of silver.

The rice, flour, grain and oil at home are almost bottomed out, and I have to buy two beds and bedding, as well as clothes for the children, and most importantly, I have to buy a milk-producing ewe for my two sons.

Although it is good to eat milk powder, thirty points is too expensive, and it is easy to be seen by others, and it is too troublesome to explain.

Now there are two more wounded in one family, supplementing nutrition and taking medicine will cost a lot of money.

Hey, there's money everywhere.

It's not easy being a housewife!

And just as she was thinking about it with the silver naked, that Dr. Zheng came over again, rubbed his hands and said:

"Miss Lu, this medicine is really extraordinary, if there is any more"

Xia Xiaoqiao put away the money directly, and gave him a big white eye.

"Oh, it's broad daylight, what are you thinking? If there's nothing else, I should take my Qilang on the road."

"Don't!" Old man Zheng came over again immediately, and said with a smile, "It's a pity to stay at home with Mrs. Lu's medical skills. I don't know if I can make a visit? I, Ji Ren Tang, welcome anytime."

"A doctor's visit?"

Xia Xiaoqiao frowned, then shook her head and refused directly: "No, Lingzhou City is too far away."

This back and forth, two hundred miles to work, is she trying to exhaust her to death?
As soon as the other party heard this, he immediately said: "Who said you came to Lingzhou City for a visit? Don't worry, it must not be far from your home."

Although the other party did not give a specific location, they gave a letter of approval.

Xia Xiaoqiao thought about it, if it's close to home, it's not impossible.

So he looked at him hesitantly and said: "If I go out to the doctor, the consultation fee will be very expensive, and I have a lot of things at home, so I may not have that much time for the consultation."

Unexpectedly, this time, the old Zheng head agreed without hesitation.

This made Xia Xiaoqiao seriously doubt whether she was fooled by him just now.

Fortunately, Old Zheng was quite generous this time, not only agreed to help her buy some things, but also took the initiative to borrow a carriage from the hospital to take their uncle and sister-in-law home, Xia Xiaoqiao's attitude improved a lot.

After discussing medical skills for a while, Xia Xiaoqiao naturally talked about everything, and she didn't have any selfish thoughts. Old man Zheng benefited a lot, and respected her more and more. .

This can be regarded as not knowing each other, completely forgetting the previous unhappiness.

But after they left, an uncommonly dressed man on the second floor of the medical hall held a paper fan, slowly opened the window, and said while looking at the carriage going away:

"Elder Zheng likes her very much?"

And the old man Zheng, who was arrogant and stingy before, said very solemnly and respectfully at this moment: "This girl has extraordinary medical skills, she is quite like Xue's doctor, her eyes are clear and her heart is kind."

The man froze, turned his head and glanced at him lightly, meaning, "Speaking of people—"

Old man Zheng smiled and handed over the medicine in his hand.

"This medicine is extraordinary, this girl must be a famous queen."

The man frowned, looked at the pill sealed with beeswax in his hand, and sighed: "I hope I can have some clues!"

Seeing this, old man Zheng said immediately, "The pharmacy?"

"Doesn't her family live in Luxi Village? Then open one in Ququan Town, which is closest to her home!"

"okay!"

Old man Zheng was instantly happy.
