I'm the master of my life

Chapter 70: Implicated Cannon Fodder 17

Unprocessed Polygonatum sibiricum costs 300 yuan per catty, and three catties costs 900 wen.

Unprocessed astragalus and licorice are both 50 yuan per pound, a total of 150 coins

The total is 284 taels, 300 qian and wen. Uncle will round it up for you, taels, qian and wen. Come and take it."

"Thank you, Uncle Wen!" Qiuxi happily took the silver handed over by Manager Wen.

"Brother Wen, don't raise the price deliberately. Isn't that a disadvantage for you?" Father Qiu said, winking: Brother Wen, can we get a normal price? Don't raise it too high!

Shopkeeper Wen looked at Qiu Rui who was winking at him frantically and said speechlessly: "What are you thinking? I didn't pay a high price for these herbs. I bought them at normal prices."

After hearing this, Father Qiu was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Are these herbs really so valuable? They are more expensive than the books I copied?"

"What else? Can I still lie to you?" Shopkeeper Wen said unhappily, and then turned around and immediately changed his expression, and asked Qiuxi gently: "Xiao Qiuxi, do you know the medicinal properties of these herbs?"

Qiuxi nodded and said, "I know!"

"Then uncle will test you. If you answer half of the questions correctly, uncle will give you a book on preparing medicinal materials. If you answer all the questions correctly, uncle will give you a book on preparing medicinal materials and a medical book that uncle got by accident."

Qiuxi's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, and he could not wait to answer: "Bletilla striata: tastes bitter, sweet, and astringent, and enters the lung, liver, and stomach meridians. It has the effects of astringing and stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and promoting tissue regeneration.

Isatis root: clears heat and detoxifies, cools blood and relieves sore throat, and also has antibacterial and antiviral effects.

Licorice: replenishes qi and nourishes the middle, removes phlegm and relieves cough, detoxifies, relieves pain, and moderates the effects of medicine. "Qiu Xi finished talking about the effects of these herbs in one breath.

Shopkeeper Wen was both the shopkeeper and the doctor. He became more and more satisfied with what Qiuxi said and nodded frequently.

When Qiuxi finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wen showed a look of regret on his face and said softly, "If my family's medical skills were not inherited from my ancestors, I would definitely accept little Qiuxi as my apprentice. At the age of 5, he can recite the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs in a clear and logical manner. It can be seen that he is a good seedling."

After saying that, he stood up and took two books from the cabinet next to him, handed them to Qiuxi and said, "Little girl, uncle always keeps his word. This is a reward for you."

Qiuxi shook her head and didn't reach out to take it.

"What's wrong with you, little girl? Don't you like it?" Shopkeeper Wen asked curiously.

"This is an heirloom from Uncle Wen's family. I can't accept it."

Shopkeeper Wen laughed heartily and said, "Hahahaha~ Take them! Little girl, these two books are not inherited from my family. I just found them outside. Although they are not very profound, they are very detailed and cover most of the common symptoms."

"Thank you, Uncle Wen." When Qiuxi heard that it was not an heirloom, he immediately stopped refusing and reached out to take it.

After coming out of Xingren Hall, Qiuxi took Qiu's father's hand and strolled around the town. He also took out Xiao Jinzi and hid it in his sleeves, asking it to help him remember the way.

Little Tuanzi was also in the space, looking outside through the space. A piece of paper and a brush were floating in front of him, and he was drawing all the places that Qiuxi passed by.

Little Tuanzi couldn't help but sigh that the modern world is still good, with navigation, there is no need to worry about the owner getting lost. Fortunately, now there is Xiao Jinzi, so he doesn't have to worry about the owner getting lost in the future.

At this time, the diligent little Jinzi didn't know that he would become a tool mouse to lead the way in the future.

The father and daughter walked around the town, and Qiuxi bought a lot of delicious food and fun things, which greatly satisfied her childlike innocence.

Then he bought a folding fan for Qiu's father and a hairpin for Qiu's mother, and then went back satisfied.

When they got home, it was just in time for lunch. Li Sui Xin had already prepared the meal and was waiting for the father and daughter to come back.

As soon as Lan Xi stepped into the house, she smelled a fragrance. She sniffed and went to the kitchen, just in time to see Li Sui Xin putting the cooked dishes on the table.

Lan Xi came forward and hugged Li Sui Xin, saying sweetly: "Mom, I'm back. I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"

Li Sui Xin put the dish in her hand on the table and hugged Lan Xi, fearing that the scalding hot dish would see Lan Xi.

After putting the dishes down, he said, "Will you miss me? I'm afraid you're having so much fun in town that you don't want to leave, right?"

Lan Xi pouted and said, "How could that be? Mom, how could you wrongly accuse me? I even bought you a gift. Look, is it nice?"

"It looks good. Xixi has great taste. Does it look good?" Li Sui Xin took the hairpin, looked at it for a while, and then put it on her head.

"Mom, it looks the best, what are you wearing?"

"You have such a sweet little mouth! You just know how to make me happy."

"No way, I'm not trying to make you happy. What I said is obviously true! If you don't believe me, ask Dad, is Mom the prettiest?" Lan Xi threw the blame on Qiu's father who had just walked in.

Father Qiu nodded and said, "Xixi is right. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Lan Xi deliberately made things difficult for him, so she asked, "What about me? Daddy once said that I was the most beautiful person in the world. Did he lie to me and mom?"

Father Qiu said helplessly: "How could I lie to you? What I said is right! Xixi is the most beautiful girl in the world, and your mother is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Li Sui Xin blushed at what he said, and spat at him, saying, "What are you talking about? Be serious in front of the child."

Father Qiu coughed and changed the subject, "Madam, does this hairpin look good? Your daughter bought it for you with her own money."

"Money you earned yourself? How did you earn it?" Li Sui Xin asked puzzledly.

"I sold the herbs I picked yesterday to Xingren Hall for more than 10 taels of silver."

"So many? It can't be that you helped." Li Sui Xin looked at Qiu's father with suspicion.

"I wanted to help, but the herbs this girl picked didn't need my help at all, and Brother Wen said that the processed herbs are more expensive."

Li Suixin looked at Lanxi and asked, "Xixi, will you focus on medicine in the future?"

Lanxi shook her head and said, "No, these are just my hobbies, but I will continue to learn."

"Okay, let's have lunch first!"

"Yes, after eating, remember to make up for today's homework in the afternoon." Father Qiu said in agreement.

Lanxi nodded, finished her meal obediently, and went back to her room to do her homework.
