Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 36: Medicinal Materials, Selling Polygonum Multiflorum

"Doctor, I wonder if you can accept this?"

Yao Qingnian had a good impression of the old doctor, so she took out the Polygonum multiflorum from the space and placed it in front of the old doctor. The old doctor saw that Yao Qingnian was dressed like a country girl, and thought that she must have dug up some ordinary medicinal herbs in the mountains and sold them for some money to live. The doctor looked at the things she took out without caring, and his face suddenly changed.

He suppressed his inner excitement and gently picked up the Polygonum multiflorum that Yao Qingnian had placed on the table.

"Girl, where did you get this Polygonum multiflorum?"

Polygonum multiflorum is of excellent quality, without any damage, and is at least hundreds of years old.

"I found it by chance when I went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables."

Polygonum multiflorum generally grows in deep mountain valleys. The girl in front of him is definitely not an ordinary farm woman. She just helped him a lot and took out such a precious medicinal material. It seems that she knows something about medicine.

"Miss, you are very courageous. I wonder how much you want to pay for this He Shou Wu?"

Yao Qingnian didn't know much about the prices of goods in that era, but he could tell that this doctor was a connoisseur of goods, so as long as the price was reasonable, he would sell it to him.

"Doctor, please name a price. I will sell it if it's suitable."

The old doctor hesitated for a moment, and considering that Yao Qingnian had helped him, he offered the highest price: "One hundred and twenty taels of silver, young lady, take a look."

In this age when people could not even get enough food, one hundred and twenty taels was a sky-high price, enough for an ordinary person to live on for several years.

Yao Qingnian nodded and replied: "Okay"

She took out other common herbal medicines, and the doctor gave reasonable prices for them one by one. His medicine shop was not big, and the traffic was not as good as that of Tiancheng Medical Shop. Most of the people who came to see the doctor were poor people. Deshantang often gave away medicines for free, and its reputation in Ding'an County was first-class.

The Polygonum multiflorum and some other herbs were sold for a total of 121 taels of silver.

The old doctor took out the silver and handed it to Yao Qingnian, saying with a smile on his face, "Miss, if you have more herbs next time, just send them to me. The price is negotiable and will definitely not be lower than the price offered by other places in the county."

"Okay, I'll give you priority next time when I have the medicinal materials."

After receiving the silver, Yao Qingnian said goodbye to the old doctor and left the pharmacy.

Yao Qingnian was in a good mood as it was the first time he earned so much money since coming here. He planned to go to the market and buy some eggs.

Not long after leaving the shop, Yao Qingnian was blocked by someone. The person was a middle-aged man, followed by a boy who looked like a servant. Yao Qingnian frowned. Wasn't this the boy who called Yao Qingnian a beggar last time?

"Stay away, girl!"

Knowing that the visitor was from Tiancheng Medical Clinic, Yao Qingnian lost her patience. She had heard that the child was sent to Deshan Hall because they refused treatment.

"What's the matter?"

"I am Doctor Hu from Tiancheng Medical Clinic. I heard that the young lady just saved a child. I wonder if you could tell us the method to benefit the people."

If Yao Qingnian hadn't known the integrity of Tiancheng Medical Clinic, he might have told him the method.

"No comment."

When Yao Qingnian was teaching the Heimlich maneuver just now, he was not there and did not see it with his own eyes. Many people also heard the general idea but did not learn it in detail, so he was waiting at the door of Deshan Hall.

"Don't be so shameless! Why don't you ask about our Tiancheng Clinic? It's your honor to be given a chance to tell us the method of curing people!"

The servant beside Doctor Hu did not recognize Yao Qingnian at first and spoke in a arrogant tone.

"Afu, don't be rude."

Doctor Hu scolded but did not blame at all. Yao Qingnian sneered.

"Doctor Hu, right? Sorry, I can't tell you."

Yao Qingnian turned sideways and tried to leave, but Doctor Hu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at the country woman in front of him and lost his patience. He was a well-known figure in Anding City, but now he had to lower himself to ask a country woman for help, but this person did not give him any face at all.

"Girl, name your price!"

No one can escape the temptation of money. The woman in front of him looked like an ignorant woman.

"Oh? How much can Doctor Hu offer?"

"Five taels of silver!"

Five taels of silver was the income of most villagers for half a year. He didn't believe that this woman would remain unmoved.

Unexpectedly, Yao Qingnian didn't even look at him.

"Twelve!"

Yao Qingnian was a little tempted when she heard the ten taels. Wasn't this guy a fool? She had just taught everyone the method, and he still had to spend money to beg her to learn it? Couldn't he just ask someone?

“Easy to talk about”

It was not Yao Qingnian's style to not make money when she had it, so she asked Doctor Hu to give her the silver first. Doctor Hu despised her in his heart, but in order to learn this accurate method, he took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Yao Qingnian.

Yao Qingnian took the silver and explained the method in detail. "Do you understand?"

"I understand, Ah Fu, take the silver back."

Unexpectedly, Doctor Hu was such a sinister villain. As soon as Yao Qingnian finished explaining the method, Doctor Hu ordered his servant to snatch the silver back.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the famous Doctor Hu is actually a hypocritical hypocrite?"

Yao Qingnian stood there without moving.

"How dare you, a country woman, act so rudely in front of me? Just give me the silver back and I will let you go."

Now that he had the method, Doctor Hu revealed his sinister face.

"You want to take the silver from me? Come and take it!"

Yao Qingnian remained calm and composed, and reached out to take out the silver.

"You know what's going on!"

Ah Fu took the silver from Yao Qingnian and handed it to Doctor Hu. Doctor Hu didn't expect Yao Qingnian to take out the silver so readily. It was beyond his expectation. He thought Yao Qingnian was frightened and was about to leave proudly with the silver.

Deshantang is located in a remote area, unlike Tiancheng Medical Clinic, which is located in the city, so the movement here did not attract everyone's attention. This is also the reason why Doctor Hu dared to be so unscrupulous.

Suddenly, Doctor Hu discovered something was wrong. The hand that had just held the silver began to itch, and the same happened to Ah Fu. Soon the itching spread to his entire body.

"Master, what's going on?"

"It's you, what did you do to us, you bitch?"

Doctor Hu realized that this woman must have poisoned them. He hurriedly used silver needles to seal his tendons and veins, but it was too late. The poison quickly spread throughout his body, and he felt an unbearable itchiness all over.

"Isn't it hot to hold the silver? You don't follow martial ethics, so don't blame me for being rude!"

"You vicious woman, give me the antidote quickly, or I won't let you go!"

Doctor Hu knew that he couldn't grab with his hands, but he couldn't control himself at all, and soon, he was pinching his body and bleeding.

"Master, please help me, it's itchy!"

Ah Fu couldn't stand the itch and rolled on the ground.

"You are a doctor, aren't you? Then take your time to research the antidote! If the drug doesn't work, the attack will occur every two hours, and each attack will last for a quarter of an hour. By the way, you must not catch it with your hands!"

Yao Qing left without thinking.
