Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 119: Taking medicine? I'll make you some coptis juice!
These words were said with good intentions. In the past, when Gu Ping'an went into the mountains to chop firewood, Gu Lianshan also gave him the same advice. After all, buying an iron hatchet is really expensive!

A shorter hatchet is about one foot long and costs nearly two hundred copper coins. The one from the Gu family is a little longer, about two feet long, with a thick blade and made of high-quality materials. When I bought it that year, it cost more than three hundred copper coins!

Also because of the high price, many families in the village are reluctant to buy it. Most of them use stone knives or axes to chop wood, which is not only laborious to use but also breaks down quickly.

There are countless villagers who go into the mountains. If you forget your hatchet on the mountain, don't even think about finding it. Anyone who sees it will steal it privately.

Sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian had no idea about this. They didn't know the value of an axe and thought Gu Tang was deliberately taking advantage of them and couldn't bear to see them doing well.

The two sisters suppressed their anger and walked out without raising their heads, pretending not to see Gu Tang.

As for Gu Tang's advice, the two sisters ignored it.

Gu Tang didn't bother with them, since she had made her point.

Moreover, the second family has enough firewood to last for the whole winter. If the axe is really lost, the first family will be unable to chop firewood.

At that time, either the eldest son had to pay for the replacement or be prepared to chop wood with his bare hands.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Lianshan came out of the house, holding the dishes used by the family in his hand. Seeing his daughter looking outside the yard, he followed her and glanced at her.

No one here? What are you looking at here, girl?

"I was looking at my two cousins ​​from my uncle's family. They went into the mountains to chop wood together. I just ran into them and told them to take good care of their axes, but judging by their expressions, I'm afraid they didn't take my advice to heart."

"Were they the only two sisters there? Didn't the eldest daughter go?"

Gu Tang sneered: "You also know that it is a precious egg? If it is a precious egg, there is no need to go into the mountains to chop firewood."

Just as he was about to say this, he saw Gu Tianbao coming out from the east wing with his neck shrunk.

Judging from his expression, he wants to go to the kitchen.

The kitchen was in the west wing, and Gu Tang was standing under the corridor of the west wing.

Gu Tianbao had already been beaten and scolded by Gu Tang. He started to tremble when he saw her body, and his fat face was full of fear.

Gu Lianshan saw that he was afraid and waved to him to come forward.

Gu Tianbao hesitated for a while, then took small steps towards the west wing.

Gu Lianshan couldn't stand his coyness, so he frowned and scolded him, "You're a fat and strong boy after all! How can you be so effeminate?"

The sudden scolding scared Gu Tianbao, and when he heard his second uncle calling him a sissy, Gu Tianbao's eyes turned red instantly and tears welled up in his eyes.

Gu Lianshan became even more angry and asked him impatiently, "Your eldest and second sisters went into the mountains to chop firewood. Why didn't you go? You're in great shape for carrying firewood! If you have nothing to do, hurry up and catch up with your eldest and second sisters."

Gu Tianbao looked timid: "I wanted to go, but my father said that he hasn't taken his medicine today, so he asked me to make medicine for him at home..."

"Isn't your father able to get out of bed and walk? It's just making medicine, how can he not do such a small task?"

"My dad, my dad has been lying in bed, saying he's still feeling very dizzy."

Gu Lianshan was so angry that the breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't breathe it out or down.

Fortunately, it’s not a serious illness that can kill people!
If this is anything like the old man, his life is in danger and he might poop and pee in the bed!
Gu Tang tugged at her father's clothes, signaling him not to be angry, and blinked at him a few times, then came up with an idea: "Dad, grandma's medicine will be ready soon, right? Let your cousin go catch up with your cousins, and you just help to boil uncle's medicine, it's an easy thing." Gu Lianshan glanced at his daughter and instantly understood.

He suppressed his anger and softened his tone when speaking to Gu Tianbao: "Go get your father's medicine. Once your grandmother's medicine is ready, your second uncle will make it for your father. While your elder and second sisters are still here, hurry up and chase them!"

Hearing this, Gu Tianbao was very flattered. He didn't expect Gu Tang and his second uncle to help him.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Tianbao felt that he was still worried about his second sister going into the mountains with his eldest sister, so he agreed to it.

Then he tiptoed back to the east wing, took out a packet of medicine, and handed it over with both hands.

"Second Uncle, this is my father's medicine. Just boil three bowls of water into one bowl."

Gu Lianshan took the medicine bag and waved at him with a look of satisfaction: "Alright! Go ahead and run after him. You should be able to catch up."

Gu Tianbao grinned and ran away dragging his fat body.

After the man ran away, Gu Lianshan handed the medicine to Gu Tang: "Put this medicine away. Dad, remember if you have sold out of the coptis chinensis in your room?"

Gu Tang was delighted: "Yes! A whole bag! All of them are six-year-old Coptis chinensis! The flavor is strong enough!"

"Okay! Grab two handfuls for Dad!" Gu Lianshan glared at Dongxiang. "Don't you want to take medicine? Okay! I'll make you some coptis juice today!"

Coptis chinensis is also a medicine, and a good one at that. It tastes bitter and can refresh the mind!

After taking the dishes to the kitchen, Gu Lianshan called out Gu Mei, who had eaten and drunk her fill and was hiding in the house, and asked her to go to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes.

Then he took out a medicine jar that had not been used for a long time, rinsed it twice, and carried it out of the kitchen.

Gu Tang had already taken the Coptis chinensis out of the system backpack. When she heard her father's footsteps, she excitedly went out to find her father with a bag of Coptis chinensis.

These coptis chinensis were dug by the original owner. Since the drug store bought them cheaply, the original owner was reluctant to sell them. He cut the coptis chinensis into slices and dried them himself, intending to stockpile them and sell them when the price goes up.

After Gu Tang came through, he kept an eye on the price of Coptis chinensis when he went to the pharmacy to sell medicinal materials. Unfortunately, the price never went up, so he kept it.

"Dad, I got them all!" Gu Tang untied a corner of the bundle in her arms and asked her father to look inside. "A full fifteen pounds! All cut and dried!"

"There are so many?!" Gu Lianshan was very surprised. He didn't expect his daughter to have hoarded so much.

"This Coptis chinensis is not selling well this year. The pharmacy only offers it for ten copper coins per pound! I think the price is too low, so I want to keep it until next year to see how the market is. If uncle can eat it all, then I won't sell it! I'll leave it all for him to eat!"

Gu Tang very "generously" took three handfuls of Coptis chinensis slices from her bag and put them all in the medicine pot, urging her father to cook them quickly: "Don't make your uncle wait anxiously. If it's not enough, I have plenty!"

Gu Lianshan shook the medicine jar, listened to the muffled sound made when the Coptis slices hit the jar, and smiled with ill intent.

When he arrived at the corridor of the main hall, Feng's medicine was still bubbling on the stove. Gu Lianshan silently calculated the time and felt that it was about time, so he took the medicine down, poured it into a bowl, and set it aside to cool.

Then fill the medicine pot containing the Coptis chinensis tablets with water and put it on the stove to boil.

After a while, the medicine pot on the stove began to gurgle, white steam kept coming out, and a faint bitter smell floated in the air.

Gu Lianshan took a sniff and felt that the taste was not strong enough. He needed to simmer it for a while longer to bring out all the medicinal flavor of the Coptis chinensis slices. That would be the best!

I have something to do today, so I'm done now. Only one update
