On the way home, Gu Ye threatened the two boys: "Remember, this leopard was hunted by Brother Lihu by chance." Xiaohai and I just went up the mountain to dig up medicinal herbs! We met on the way down! Did you hear that? If I let my grandfather or my brother know about today's events, I will never want to go into the mountains in the future! ”

Li Xiaohai obediently promised that he would not say it. If he says it, it won't do him any good, he doesn't want his mother and sister to worry about him.

Zhang Lihu frowned: "At least let my father know, right?" Don't worry, I'll tell him the truth, he loves you so much, he should help you keep it secret! ”

"Are you sure Uncle Zhang won't be like my grandfather and brother, who forbade me to go up the mountain for fear of the danger of me entering the mountain?" Gu Ye is not so optimistic.

Zhang Lihu stopped talking. The mother said that his father always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately when she gave birth to Zhang Lihu, she injured her body, and she has not been able to add a brother or sister to him over the years. Gu Ye is beautiful, well-behaved, sensible and intelligent, Zhang Lihu's father is more attentive to her than his own son.

I heard that Gu Ye was sick because of the loss of his body when he was a child, and his father sent it to the Gu family when he caught the prey, knowing that Gu Ye liked to eat pheasant stewed mushrooms and pheasant soup, and all the pheasants he hunted were reluctant to buy them, so they were all sent to the Gu family.

His father also used wild game to exchange ginseng in the town, because he heard that ginseng and chicken soup were the most nourishing. Sometimes, Zhang Lihu suspects with taste that Sister Ye'er is his father's own, and he picked it up!

If his father knew that Xiao Yezi was almost injured by a cheetah in front of him, he would definitely beat him up, saying that he was useless and couldn't even protect his sister. In the end, out of love and protection for Ye'er's sister, he will inevitably make the same decision as Grandpa Gu and Xiao Mingzi.

"That'...... How are you going to explain this leopard skin? Zhang Lihu was a little difficult. He knew that Sister Ye'er was going to use leopard skin to make a mattress to honor her master.

Gu Ye scratched his hair, which was a little messy by the wind: "Or ...... Shall I pay you the market price for money, and I will buy it from you? ”

Zhang Lihu shook his head again and again: "No! No way!! You killed this leopard! I will sell you the prey you have hunted and sell it to you for money! Who do you think of me? If you take the leopard skin, you will say that I gave it to you! ”

"It won't work! When my grandfather comes back, he will definitely scold me, and then send the silver to your house!" Gu Ye said a little exaggerated. Gu Xiao was reluctant to scold her, and the silver still had to be paid. The granddaughter accepted the things given by the stinky boy for nothing, what will the people in the village say and think?

Seeing that they were about to enter the village, the two still didn't discuss a result. In the end, Gu Ye made a decision without hesitation: "I'll give you five taels of silver, and the leopard skin will be mine!" Otherwise, you'll take the whole leopard with you. Give Master's mattress, I'll figure it out later! ”

got Gu Ye's five taels of silver for nothing, and Zhang Lihu felt very uncomfortable. He secretly made up his mind that he would hunt more and earn more money in the future, and one day he would be able to return the five taels!

For the sake of the leopard skin, grinding for a long time, Gu Ye hurried back home, just in time for lunch at home. After the meal, Gu Ye took a nap for a while, and after getting up, he was busy in the pharmacy.

Jimintang brought news that Bupleurum has been out of stock recently, and hopes to concoct more and send it over. The spring is cold, there are many sick people, and the demand for Bupleurum has increased dramatically. In addition, her children's Bupleurum granules also need this flavor of medicinal herbs. These days, she has been concocting this medicine.

The gastrodia dug up by Li Xiaohai weighs a pound. According to the price of two taels of silver and one pound of crude medicine, Gu Ye gave him three taels of silver. Widow Li didn't expect that once her son entered the mountain, it would be worth more than three months of work for her and her daughter. No wonder when Dr. Wu was there, he didn't worry about eating and drinking, and he also accumulated a lot of silver. She was even more grateful to Gu Ye for selflessly teaching her son to recognize medicine!

"Mother......" Li Xiaohai watched his mother put away the silver and said hesitantly, "I want to go to Uncle Gu's place to study with Brother Gu Ming." I don't want you to be out of the way, I can go up the mountain to dig herbs and sell them for money after school for my own education! ”

Widow Li glared at him with a smile and said, "Silly boy, my sister and I have already discussed, and when the private school is warmer, I will send you over to study!" You concentrate on your studies, and you don't have to worry about being constrained. Now, we can afford you! After saying that, she glanced at Gu Ye gratefully.

The work of the Gu family's helpers is easy and easy to get started, and any person in the village can do it well, and it is not that they have to be mother and daughter. Gu Ye did not choose Gu Laojiu and Gu San's grandmother's house, which were close relatives of them, but chose them, which was a pity and care for their orphans and widows. She often admonishes her children that they must remember the kindness of the Gu family to them!

"Ye'er-Ye'er is at home?" Gu Lier's crisp voice came from outside.

"Sister Li'er, I'm here!" Gu Ye put down the chai hu in his hand, walked out of the pharmacy, and saw Gu Li'er and Aunt Ying standing at the gate of the courtyard playfully, so he said with a smile, "Aunt Ying is also here, come in!" ”

"I came here in the morning, and Aunt Yan said that you went up the mountain to collect medicine." Gu Lier pulled Aunt Ying into the courtyard, "It smells so big." Ye'er, what are you busy with? ”

Gu Ye beckoned them to visit his pharmacy and explained their confusion: "I'm making vinegar and burning chaihu." Vinegar-burned Bupleurum has the effect of invigorating blood and relieving pain, soothing the liver and relieving depression. ”

Gu Lier didn't think much about it, and just wanted to step into the pharmacy, but was dragged by Aunt Ying: "People are concocting medicinal materials, what are you doing in to make trouble?" ”

"I went in to help, why did you call it trouble?" Gu Lier looked aggrieved.

Ying Gu pulled her aside and whispered, "The method of concocting medicinal materials must be kept secret. Why did Dr. Wu treat people in the first place? It is to steal other people's processing methods, and if you don't learn it correctly, the medicinal materials are toxic. You want to help with a good heart, not to mention whether people are willing to help or not, in case your method of dealing with medicinal materials is wrong, you will do something bad with good intentions! ”

When Gu Li'er heard this, Aunt Ying made sense. She originally really wanted to help, but if Ye'er misunderstood that she wanted to steal the teacher, she became wary of her, and she wouldn't even have to be a friend in the future!

Gu Ye seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Sister Li'er, Aunt Ying, you came just in time, I am short of someone to help!" Jimintang is urging for medicine, these days, I'm almost dying, I can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms! Since you have thrown yourself into the net, don't try to hide and relax, come and help! ”

Gu Li'er's little face instantly bloomed. She just said! Sister Ye'er is not the kind of person with a small belly! She cheerfully replied, "Hey! Here it comes! So he went into the pharmacy. Ying Gu looked at her back and shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and also entered the pharmacy.

They were all entering the Gu family's pharmacy for the first time, and their hearts were filled with a sense of sacredness. The pharmacy was converted from a utility room, with a bamboo and wood structure, about the size of three rooms, with large windows on all sides. At this time, the doors and windows are open, and the interior is well lit. In the room, rows of neat shelves are full of medicinal herbs. On one side is a basket of crude drugs, and on the other side is a bag of prepared medicinal materials.

On the outside, there is Gu Ye's medicine table. At this time, one by one, one by one, a basket of chopped firewood, and a jar of rice vinegar, neatly visited the pharmaceutical table.

Gu Li'er stood beside the medicine table and said eagerly: "Sister Ye'er, what do you need us to do?" Let me be the first to state that I don't know anything about medicinal herbs, so it's best to assign me light work lest I mess it up for you. With that, she stuck out her tongue.

Gu Ye smiled and said, "Do any of you know how to use scales?" "Two little girls, you look at me, I look at you, and they shook their heads in unison. An annoyed expression appeared on Gu Lier's face.

"It's okay!" Gu Yemali weighed ten catties of slices of Bupleurum and assigned Gu Lier to put the slices into the crockpot one by one. She pointed to the vinegar jar and said to Aunt Ying, "Aunt Ying, you help me put two catties of vinegar into each crockpot." ”

The utensils for scooping vinegar are bamboo vinegar grapes, Gu Ye's this is a big vinegar grape that can beat half a catty at a time, and scooping it up four times in the vinegar jar is two catties.

"That's okay?" Gu Lier stretched out her head and glanced at the crockpot, it is not difficult to concoct medicinal materials!

"Sister Li'er, you mix the vinegared chai hu well and stuff it with oiled paper. Moisten until the vinegar is all absorbed by the bupleurum and then heat and fry dry and let cool. "This kind of rotten street concoction method, in the previous life, I searched a lot on the Internet, and Gu Ye didn't feel the need to hide it.

The method of processing medicinal materials is important, but the more important thing is the heat and the control of the medicinal properties, otherwise how can there be a distinction between a pharmacist and a great pharmacist?

Ying Gu glanced at her and said hesitantly: "You told us the method of concoction, and when your master comes back, won't I blame you?" ”

Before Gu Ye could open his mouth, he was snatched away by Gu Li'er: "Aunt Ying, let's just help, we don't concoct medicinal materials to sell when we go back, and we don't tell others how to concoct them, how could Ye'er's master know that Ye'er passed on the method?" ”

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold your breath and talk nonsense everywhere with a big mouth. In case Ye Er is reproached by her master, or expelled from the master, it will be our sin! "Yinggu has a calm temperament and thinks deeply.

Gu Li'er restrained the smile on her face and solemnly promised: "Sister Ye'er, don't worry!" Out of this, everything that happens in the pharmacy, I'm going to rot in my stomach! If I say it, I will have my intestines rotten, and it will not be good......"

Gu Ye hurriedly covered her mouth and said angrily, "Sister Li'er, what are you doing here!" If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have invited you into the pharmacy to help! If you do it again, I'll ignore you!" ”

Gu Li'er grinned: "Even for your trust, we can't betray you and cause you to be expelled by the divine doctor!" Get to work! Gu Lier is full of energy to help!

The work of infiltrating chaihu only needs to be careful, and there is no technical content, and the two of them quickly got started. With their help, the day's work was completed in more than two hours!
