Chapter 121 One gram of ginseng and twenty grams of gold(1/2)
"I really don't know why Master likes to live here."
From a distance, Yi Chuanzong could see the small courtyard in front of him. The stained black wooden fence on the outside looked like it was old.
The area is not small, it seems to be less than 200 square meters.
But it's just that the yard is relatively large, and the small wooden house inside is only about twenty square meters.
The whole small house is also a bit gray and black. There are many yellowing wooden boards nailed to the narrator's firewood shed.
This was something he helped his master repair after coming here for the first time. Originally, most of the woodshed had collapsed, so the earthen stove could still be used for cooking.
There was also a field in the southeast corner of the yard. He thought his master would plant some flowers at home, but when he arrived, he saw bright white and green cabbages.
There are nearly a hundred in total. Huang Jingyi usually carries water to water them, and the growth is very good.
But his master couldn't eat them all. To be precise, he didn't miss a few pills all winter long.
This place is next to Houhai and almost one kilometer away from Tongrentang. It is very inconvenient to go back and forth every day, especially for an old man who is over eighty years old.
And Huang Jingyi, as a doctor at Tongrentang, is a household name regardless of his ranking in the 49 cities for his medical skills. His salary is only a seventh-level health worker, the lowest salary at the 21st level, and he can only buy a bottle of wine.
It hurts a lot.
Yi Chuanzong understood his master's thoughts very well.
"Here you come, why don't you come in?"
The sound is clearer and more powerful, and the condition is much better than before.
You can see the outside through the small gap inside the house, but Yi Chuanzong cannot see inside from the outside.
Looking at the fence that was only one person tall, Yi Chuanzong accelerated slightly and jumped directly in with a strong step. He landed softly and strode toward the cabin with a red wooden box in his hand.
Halfway through, he glanced at the woodshed. There was still a lot of wood there, so there was no need to chop wood today.
"squeak!"
Pushing open the cracked wooden door, Yi Chuanzong discovered that not only the master was in the room, but also a 'strong' old man with white hair wearing a cardigan. He was Dr.
.
The other one is Wu Jing, the medicine clerk in the drug store. He still has a poker face, his big eyes look a little dull, and his whole person is always emotionless.
Now Huang Jingyi and Dr. Xing were sitting on the square table facing each other in the south and north, while Wu Jing was sitting next to him and watching honestly.
When Yi Chuanzong saw his master's proud expression, he knew that his master was going to win this game.
Huang Jingyi likes to gamble for fun when he is with people close to him. Even though he is a charitable and peaceful person, when word spreads outside, he turns into a little old man who loves gambling.
"Master. Doctor Xing. Dawu."
Wu Jing's expression changed slightly. He couldn't understand why Yi Chuanzong gave him this nickname. It sounded a bit awkward.
"Well, when you come, just sit down and watch for a while. I thought you would only come here two days ago."
Huang Jingyi stroked his goatee and shook his head slightly, then waved his hand to one side.
Yi Chuanzong took the ginseng box and sat down at Dongshou, "I originally wanted to come here again years ago, but I came here today to ask you a question."
Huang Jingyi closed his eyes slightly and turned to look at the simple red long wooden box in Yi Chuanzong's hand, with some thoughts in his eyes.
After all, it is a century-old wild ginseng. The fresh weight is seven taels, and the dry weight is one liang or nine taels.
Although the saying "qi liang ginseng, eight liang treasure" has been around since ancient times, one kilogram now is equal to one kilogram six taels in the past, and seven taels is 350 grams. The fresh weight of this 'qi liang' is only 218 grams.
gram.
However, these two hundred and eighteen grams are quite a lot. A half-pound yam is usually fifty centimeters long. The century-old ginseng is about the same length, that is, the main stem is slender and has many whiskers.
Now Yi Chuanzong has brought such a thing. According to his current medical theory, ordinary medicine would not be consulted, and it is a relatively expensive thing.
Huang Jingyi started to guess out of habit.
Maybe it’s because I don’t use it for fortune telling on weekdays, and I always do fortune telling for some fun.
It may also be because he has never accepted a disciple. He likes to manipulate his little disciples. He looks confident and is very authoritative on weekdays.
Yi Chuanzong was not in a hurry. He was already used to having such a master. He had never had a master before and felt uncomfortable all day long without being beaten.
I lowered my head and glanced at the chessboard on the table. At first glance, I saw a lot of black, white and white.
Yi Chuanzong suddenly felt a little dizzy, and a sudden feeling of sleepiness arose in his heart.
He doesn't like Go. Chess is a skill left over from the past life. It's okay to play for fun, but it's not as comfortable as sitting in the sun after wasting your brain for a long time.
He raised his head and looked at Wu Jing. This guy was less than two years older than him, and he was still responsible for weighing medicines. This man had always thought that he would take over this kind of job, so that he could auscultate and treat patients. However, Doctor Xing disagreed, saying that he had no basic knowledge.
Not reliable enough.
Turning around to look at Master Xing, this doctor has a broad forehead, big nose, and thick lips. When he was young, it was hard to believe that he was a doctor compared to his figure.
Moreover, Dr.
Suddenly, Yi Chuanzong's eyes widened, and Master Xing glared at him fiercely, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
This old guy wants to move chess secretly!
Yi Chuanzong's expression became strange. If he were young, he might still be afraid that Dr. Xing would beat him, but now he is 70 years old.
There is a saying that boxing is afraid of young people. Although Dr. Xing can hurt him with a hit, he definitely cannot beat him.
Yi Chuanzong cleared his throat and coughed twice, "Ahem."
Huang Jingyi was thinking about the kung fu when he heard the voice and raised his eyelids, and then out of the corner of his eyes he caught a glimpse of the slightly withered hand stretched out on the chessboard.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Old Xing, you and I have been playing chess for so many years, is it possible that we are so old that we can't even remember chess?"
Dr.
He was a little annoyed, he was going to lose this game of chess!
Looking at the black chess piece held by Dr.
It must be very old, and this mahogany box must be fifty years old."
Yi Chuanzong didn't care. It was normal for his master to guess. He turned around and glanced at Dr.
Doctor Xing was in a depressed mood over there. When he saw Yi Chuanzong's slightly wary eyes, he sneered, "I haven't seen any ginseng before? Are you really taking it as a treasure? You brat, don't you need to take care of it?"
After saying this, Dr.
Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows, feeling that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Tongrentang was established during the Kangxi period. It was only the 17th century at that time. Now in the 20th century, when the Qing Dynasty was gone, Tongrentang had a history of two hundred years. It was still in Dashilar, Qianmen. Imperial doctors of all dynasties had it. Naturally, they were well-informed.
It is vast and has rich medicinal resources.
Simply, he opened the box directly, and a wild ginseng with a length of fifty centimeters and a graceful shape came into view.
Even though Dr. Xing said this, he was also curious. After all, Yi Chuanzong was Huang Jingyi's disciple, so he had some knowledge. It must be somewhat expensive, but it was hard to say how valuable it was. He also wanted to take a look.
With just one glance, Doctor Xing's eyes widened in an instant, and a mouthful of tea spurted out of his mouth the next moment.
Having been a Chinese medicine doctor for a long time, how could he not recognize this ginseng, let alone a wild ginseng with such a standard and 'domineering' attitude!
It turned out to be hundreds of years old. Where did this kid get such a treasure? Doctor Xing's eyes were full of scrutiny.
Wu Jing's face also changed drastically. It was rare that his whole face became fully active, and his expression was very wonderful.
Huang Jingyi's hands also shook slightly, and he chuckled towards the opposite side, "Your big dragon has not taken shape, but this water dragon has taken shape. It is a pity that my red sandalwood chessboard was given to me by Haoju for more than forty years. Now, now
And use it as a dinner plate."
Doctor Xing's eyes were filled with anger, and he yelled angrily, "That was given to me by Hao Ju! You won it from me by playing tricks!"
"That's why I'm heartbroken. You didn't like playing chess before." Huang Jingyi said proudly.
Doctor Xing's heart ached for a second. He had never seen how good this thing was before. It is quite good for eating. He turned his head, his face looked slightly fierce, "Boy, where did you get this wild ginseng?"
Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "I dug this from the mountain. There is a cliff over there in Miaofeng Mountain Town. I found it under a tree halfway up the mountain!"
Doctor Xing looked like you are bluffing me, where is this place?
Forty-nine cities!
At the foot of the emperor, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Naturally, it is the place with the most residents. In the past, medicinal collectors were also indispensable. What kind of cliff can people not find for a hundred years?
Just dig them up when they are 20 or 30 years old. If you really let them grow on their own, who knows if they will grow to death?
Besides, it's not very suitable for growing here. It's not possible at all, but very few ginseng grows here.
Huang Jingyi nodded slightly. He, as his apprentice, had always had a secret. The strange progress of his learning alone was really puzzling to him. He didn't need to know that much, it was enough to know that he was his apprentice.
"You are so blessed that you can get such a treasure."
Yi Chuanzong smiled sarcastically, and he pointed out that he had a deep blessing.
He had no choice. There had to be a reason for this thing to come out for no reason.
The master said that he dug it himself.
My wife told me she bought it.
All in all, it is easier for Master to fool him.
