Chapter 57 Centennial Ginseng
Luo Ziya stood in the courtyard holding a coarse cloth bag, looking forward with surprise and a bit of joy.
She escaped from her original home and settled down in Linzhou.
Today, she passed by a dead end and accidentally glanced inside. The familiar wooden door and lights made her stunned.
I hurriedly ran home and brought my things over without taking a breath all the way.
Meeting Shen You's questioning eyes, Luo Ziya entered the store, placed the things wrapped in coarse cloth on the table, and opened them.
It was a wild ginseng with a thick root and looked quite old.
"What are you doing?" Shen You asked confused.
"Girls helped me that day, and I am where I am today." Luo Ziya's eyes were bright and bright,
"I don't have anything to give in return. I picked this ginseng from the mountain the day before yesterday. It's four to five hundred years old."
"You don't need such a valuable thing to redeem your hairpin." Shen You said.
It was not cost-effective to sell the dragonfly hairpin. She had kept it in the shop, so redeeming it at the original price was not a problem.
Luo Ziya shook her head, "I know the rules of death. This ginseng is a thank you gift for the girl."
Hundreds of years old ginseng costs far more than the ten taels of silver. Even if it is sold for five hundred taels of silver, there are still people rushing to take it.
The efficacy of modern artificial breeding is poor, and it is almost impossible to find such old ones in the wild.
Shen You couldn't take such a valuable thing for nothing.
Seeing some worry in her eyes, he asked, "What trouble have you encountered?"
Luo Ziya's expression was startled, as if she didn't expect Shen You to ask such a question, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking,
"My father came over. He gave money to the county government and joined others to go to the drug store to cause trouble."
"The man's health is not in good condition. He must take good medicine to survive. My grandfather didn't even charge for the consultation fee. The family still owes more than ten taels of medicine.
Before we went to ask for it, they said that it was the medicine prescribed by my grandfather that killed the person. If I am upright, I am not afraid of the shadow, and I will definitely seek justice! ”
Those people were now displaying the corpses outside the drug store, and she knew it was her father who was behind them.
This is the ancient version of medical trouble. You can bribe officials without any reason.
Shen You thought for a while, "Is your place close to the capital?"
Luo Ziya didn't know why the shopkeeper suddenly asked this, but she still answered seriously, "The carriage can arrive in one day."
"Okay, I'll keep the stuff. You can take this to the Liu family's house in the capital, Zhongxing Bo. Someone will help you." Shen You took out a bottle of Fengyoujing.
"Also, this is medicine specially used to treat trauma. This medicine is used to reduce fever. Don't let outsiders know about these medicines."
Shen You gave some more special medicines, and finally Luo Ziya's hairpin.
Luo Ziya stared blankly at the things on the table and the hairpin that had been repaired. Her eyes were red and she looked at Shen You gratefully.
Shen You just waved his hand, "The ginseng you brought is enough as payment."
Luo Ziya left the shop with her things and thanked her very much. She went outside her house and hid against the wall.
I saw a few people wearing sackcloth and mourning sitting on the ground crying and asking for an explanation.
"Damn it, it was this pharmacy. They prescribed the wrong medicine and killed my son!"
"The medicines they prescribe cost only three taels of silver each! This is murder!"
The onlookers were watching the excitement and whispering to the drug store.
It was fine when I first came out, but now the drug store was closed, and the official came over to take people back to the Yamen for investigation.
Luo Ziya tightly clutched the hairpin left by her mother. She did not go home, knowing that it would be difficult to get out after going in, so she turned around and found a carriage to go to the capital.
[Received a gift from customer ‘Luo Ziya’, a piece of wild ginseng.
Your store level has reached lv3 and you can unlock more content. 】
Shen You saw that the business value suddenly increased by 50, and the random entrance customers had such a high gain on the store.
Displayed on the screen: Store level lv3 (140/200)
With a construction level of 50, the capacity of the storage compartment has been expanded.
A second page appears under the plane map. It's still a question mark, but it can be unlocked. There can only be one fixed entrance, so Shen You is not in a hurry. Wen Zhi hasn't come yet and wants to switch now. Those who don't know think she has run away.
Shen You found a large box, carefully put the ginseng in it, and searched a lot on the Internet to learn how to preserve traditional Chinese medicine.
Then the big data came across: a video of a wild ginseng that had been stored for several years and was ready to be used. When it was taken out, only a layer of skin was left and the inside was hollowed out by borers.
The wild ginseng that is 25 years old in a regular drugstore costs four figures, and the century-old national inspection special grade is all auctioned, with a record price of more than 10 million.
Hers looks about the same quality.
Shen You didn't understand Chinese medicine, so after looking at it for a while, she was also curious, was the effect really that good?
I heard that it can replenish vitality and increase immunity, but some people say it is useless.
She broke off a section of the root, washed it, and put it directly into her mouth to chew according to the instructions on the Internet.
A light herbal fragrance, slightly bitter.
It seems like I feel nothing.
Shen You ignored it and continued to do his own thing. Then, at night, he suddenly had a nosebleed.
Just as she put down the tools in her hands and wiped them with paper, the wind chime rang.
As soon as Wen Zhi entered the store, he saw Shen You in a hurry and there were blood stains on the tissue.
"What's wrong with you?" He was obviously a little confused about this situation.
Shen You waved her hand, "It's okay."
Wen Zhi took a look at the contents of the box on the counter and instantly understood the importance of eating ginseng.
He laughed lowly and said, "Are you going to spend a whole night repairing antiques by eating like this?"
Shen You looked at Feng Guan on the table. She didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, so she took the initiative to talk about business
"I can set access permissions here."
The subtext is just waiting for Huo Huanbu.
"It just so happens that I brought something here too."
Wen Zhi put the cloth on the table and continued, "No one in Daqi knows how to make this kind of cloth. There are not many left in the world. Except for this piece, the old emperor had it made into clothes."
Even if it is newly made clothes that have not been worn yet, she would probably feel uncomfortable thinking that they belong to the old emperor.
"What about this piece?" Shen You was curious.
The corners of Wen Zhi's lips raised, "We haven't had time to do it yet."
Shen You wiped his hands with a wet paper towel before going to get the cloth on the table.
It looks different from modern ordinary asbestos cloth.
This piece of firehuan cloth feels soft to the touch, has a good texture, and is slightly shiny.
"This fire really can't be burned?" Shen You became more and more curious as she watched.
Wen Zhi held up his chin and smiled so eye-catchingly, "Actually, I want to know too, give it a try?"
After saying that, he stood up and took the lighter that Shen You used to light incense, and burned it on the fabric without caring.
"Hey!"
Shen You subconsciously went over and grabbed his wrist. Even if he wasn't really afraid of fire, this thing was still valuable.
She still took a step slower, and the dancing flames had already touched the soft fabric.
Shen You looked at the place that had been burned by the fire. There was really no trace at all, and she was extremely shocked.
This is the real ancient fire cloth, and it is in my hands now! It’s impossible for anyone in the collection circle not to be excited!
Her thoughts were all on the rare treasure in front of her. Wen Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the slender hand holding her,
For some reason, he didn't move and just let it go.
