Chapter 31 Luck and Change
As soon as Lu Qing entered the house, he saw a brand new large iron pot sitting there.
Old doctor Chen returned to the back room and took out a cloth bag.
"These silver coins are from selling red moon carps, please keep them."
The old doctor handed the cloth bag to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was surprised when he picked it up and felt the heavy weight.
"So much, Grandpa Chen, how much did the red moon carp cost?"
"You are in good luck." The old doctor said, "The nobleman I sent the medicinal materials to this time has a wife who has been weak recently and needs to nourish her body. Hearing that I had a red moon carp in my hand, without saying a word, I bought it for one hundred taels of silver."
"One hundred taels?" Lu Qing glared, "Grandpa Chen, didn't you say before that my red moon carp has grown too big and its value has declined?"
He remembered that the old doctor said before that the best red moon carp only costs one hundred taels a piece.
"That's why I said, you're lucky." The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "Generally speaking, only the best red moon carp is worth a hundred taels."
"But that guy The noble man is very fond of his wife. In addition to the delicious taste, the red moon carp also has excellent nourishing effects, so the noble man directly bought it from me at the highest price. "
What a coincidence.
After listening to this, Lu Qing had to agree with the old doctor's statement.
His luck is really good.
"With these one hundred taels, I will give you all the cash you asked for. Apart from the ten taels of silver I used to treat your illness and prescribe medicine, and the five taels I spent to buy iron pots and salt, there are still eighty-five taels of silver left in it."
They are almost all silver ingots, some are large and some are small, the big ones are 10 taels per ingot, the small ones are 5 taels per ingot, and some broken silver.
Obviously, the old doctor considered that he would use it regularly, so he replaced part of it with broken silver.
As for the fifteen taels spent, Lu Qing didn't care too much.
The old doctor charges ten taels of silver for consultation and medicine, which sounds quite expensive.
But based on his understanding of the old doctor, he suspected that the old doctor still underpaid.
The cost of buying iron pots and salt.
Leaving aside the salt, he expected that the iron pot was expensive.
After all, in his memory, when the original owner sold the iron pot at home, he also made a lot of money.
Up to now, there are not many families in the village who can use an iron pot.
Hence, you can imagine how precious the iron pot is.
However, no matter how expensive the iron pot was, Lu Qing would still buy it.
Having been in this world for so long, almost everything I eat is either boiled or stewed, and my mouth is almost pale.
With an iron pot, he can cook many more dishes.
It doesn't matter what you wear, but you must not treat yourself too badly when it comes to food. This is Lu Qing's consistent rule of life.
"Also, I opened this iron pot for you last night. You can use it directly when you get back. You don't have to open the pot yourself." The old doctor said again.
Lu Qing took a look and found that the iron pot was shiny with oil and had been completely cooked.
"Grandpa Chen, it takes a lot of oil to boil the pot. I'll give you money." Lu Qing opened the cloth bag.
"No need." Old Doctor Chen waved his hand, "It's just two pieces of fat pork, it doesn't cost anything, and I'm too lazy to cut any more money for you."
Seeing that the old doctor was unwilling to accept it, Lu Qing could only give up.
He knows that people in this world have a disdain for pork.
Especially the upper-class aristocrats think that pork is despicable and is only eaten by the poor and humble people at the bottom.
People who are a little rich are more likely to eat beef and mutton meat.
So the price of pork in this world is not expensive.
Of course this is not expensive, it is just compared with beef and mutton.
For the common people at the bottom, as long as it is meat, it cannot be cheap.
So even if it is pork, it is not something that can be eaten all the time.
Only during festivals, or when you have a lot of money and guests come to your home, you will buy some to eat.
But Lu Qing also knew that the old doctor was obviously not a man short of money. He probably didn't care about the two pieces of fat pork.
"Thank you very much, Grandpa Chen."
"Okay, don't worry about such a trivial matter." The old doctor said nonchalantly, "You lie down on the bed first, and I will give you an acupuncture."
Lu Qing took off his shirt as instructed and lay down on the wooden bed.
The old doctor took out the silver needle.
" Today is the third time and the last time I've given you an acupuncture. After this injection, you won't need to do it again."
"It's hard to say that you've fully recovered, but your vitality has been basically stable. In the days to come, you just need to eat better and keep resting, and you can slowly recover. This strengthening needle does not need to be inserted again."
"Thank you, Grandpa Chen."
"Okay, relax and don't move anymore."
Old doctor Chen started to inject the needles. After a while, after the silver needles were inserted, Lu Qing also fell asleep.
The old doctor looked at Lu Qing who had fallen asleep and frowned slightly.
Although during this period, Lu Qing was recuperating at his place and recovered very well.
But he still couldn't find out the reason why Lu Qing suddenly got better in the first place.
During this period, he also took advantage of the opportunity of getting acupuncture to carefully examine Lu Qing's body.
There is indeed nothing abnormal in his body, let alone any root causes of disease.
It really made him confused.
After thinking for a while, but still unable to figure out the point, the old doctor finally relaxed his brows.
It's okay if he can't find the reason. Fortunately, Lu Qing's body has recovered after all, and his efforts to recuperate are not in vain.
"Grandpa Chen, is your brother asleep?"
Xiaoyan asked softly.
After seeing Lu Qing get a few injections, the little guy is no longer as scared as before.
It's just that when Grandpa Chen gave the injection, she still didn't dare to look.
"Well, let's go, let's not disturb your brother's rest. Go outside. Yesterday, my grandpa bought some cakes from the city. I heard they taste very good."
When Lu Qing woke up from his deep sleep, he felt that his whole body was full of vitality.
And he was convinced that this time it was no longer an illusion like the first time he got the acupuncture, but that his body had really almost recovered.
All of this is thanks to Dr. Chen.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Qing heard Xiaoyan's laughter coming from outside the yard.
He smiled slightly, put on his coat, and walked out of the yard.
I saw old doctor Chen and Xiao Yan, still sitting on the stone bench. The little guy was holding a piece of pastry in his hand. He didn't know what they were talking about. He was swaying on his feet, raising his head and smiling very happily.
This scene is almost the same as what Lu Qing saw when he woke up from an acupuncture for the first time.
It’s just that at that time, he was weak and had nothing, so it was difficult to survive.
Now, his body has basically recovered and he has just earned hundreds of taels of silver.
In the future, I will also have the opportunity to study medicine with Dr. Chen.
Everything has become different.
This chapter is to make up for last night. I had a headache yesterday and couldn't finish it. Sorry, there are still two updates tonight
