Fragrance Returned

Ding Zhuang frowned and whispered, "I won't eat such good things. I'll sell them to pay off my debts."

Ding Zhao responded without further explanation.

After drinking the apple water, Ding Zhuang fell asleep again.

Half an hour later, he woke him up again to drink medicine.

After drinking the medicine, continue to sleep.

Under the eager eyes of everyone, Ding Zhao solemnly wiped the Ganoderma lucidum clean with a dry cloth, and then cut the Ganoderma lucidum into two parts with a knife. Half of it was sold to the medical center to make money, and the other half was left for young men to replenish their health.

He cut half of them into thick slices and dried them slowly over a fire.

He learned this at Qianjin Medical Clinic in Beijing. Ganoderma lucidum is easy to prepare, so it is ready.

Ding Xiang thought of the purple gourd again. If it were medicine, she wouldn't know how to prepare it. She had to wait for it to dry slowly, wondering if it would affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Before going to bed, Ding Xiang went to the south room to lock the purple gourd in the cabinet, and then returned to the upper room.

She has to wait for her grandfather in the upper room.

Afraid that she would bump into Ding Zhuang while sleeping, Ding Zhao took her to sleep on a small couch. Ding Xiang is here, and Feifei must be here too. The two of them sleep together, one eagle at a time.

After blowing out the oil lamp, the room became dark.

Ding Xiang asked Ding Zhao in a low voice, "Dad, have you seen a purple gourd?"

Ding Zhao shook his head, "When gourds are young, they are green, and when they are old, they are yellow. Where are the purple gourds?"

"oh."

Ding Xiang refused to give up, thinking that purple gourds must be too scarce, so her father didn't know.

After breakfast the next day, Ding Zhao wrapped the Ganoderma lucidum and put it in his arms, and drove Ding Lichun to the county town in an ox cart.

Ding Xiang secretly went to the south room to put the purple gourds on the top of the cabinet to dry, and came back with Ding Liren to accompany the sleeping Ding Xing.

When it was time to eat and drink medicine, the little brother and sister woke up Ding Zhuang. After Ding Zhuang finished eating, he wiped his mouth and continued to watch him sleep.

When Feifei saw that his little master didn't want to play with him, he caught mice in every room when he had nothing to do.

Heizi followed it and ran around the house.

At the end of noon, Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun came back, and they brought back an old doctor with gray hair and beard.

Dr. Jin is the best surgeon in Linshui County.

Inviting him to visit the doctor in person and follow up within a month not only cost six taels of silver, but also sold such good Ganoderma lucidum to their medical clinic, which made the old man happy.

The Ding family father and son looked happy, and they sold it at a good price.

Ding Zhao said, "Doctor Jin hasn't eaten yet, so Zhi Niang went to get a bowl of noodles and two eggs."

Ding Xiang stayed by Ding Zhuang's side because she wanted to see her grandfather's injury. According to Ding Lichun, Grandpa’s index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were all cut off in the middle.

Ding Zhao was a little angry, so he took her out of the upper room and locked the door.

Old Doctor Jin took off Ding Zhuang's cloth bandage, and the wound was somewhat suppurative. He gently wiped off the old medicine with cold water, sprinkled it with golden snake vine powder again, applied ointment on the cloth belt, and wrapped his hand.

I also adjusted a few herbs in the decoction.

He also said, "From now on, I will change the medicine every three days. The Ganoderma lucidum is long-lasting and has miraculous effects. Grind it into powder and give it to the patient every day."

He gestured with his little finger and said, "Shopkeeper Ding not only suffered external injuries, but also injured his roots. If he doesn't take good care of himself, he will die soon. Even if he survives, he will have to hold the medicine jar for the rest of his life. This kind of Ganoderma lucidum is too tonic. Don't eat too much. Big brothers are blessed to have such a good thing at this time."

The old man was very confused. The shopkeeper also wanted to persuade Ding Zhao to sell more Ganoderma lucidum to the medical clinic. It seemed that he shouldn't have said that Ganoderma lucidum was so good, and he felt that he had to tell the patient the truth.

Ding Zhao was overjoyed.

What the old doctor meant was that because of this Ganoderma lucidum, my father had a greater chance of surviving.

Ding Zhao ate egg noodles with old doctor Jin, drove an ox cart to send him back, and bought medicine at the same time.

Before leaving, Ding Zhao handed a small cloth bundle to Zhang and asked her to hide it.

Mrs. Zhang pinched the bundle and found paper and a few silver ingots inside, and she felt happy.

After they left, Ding Lichun said excitedly, "The doctors at the medical center said that Ganoderma lucidum should be over a thousand years old and is a rare treasure. They said it was not a whole flower, and they were only willing to pay five hundred and fifty taels of silver. Dad told them After negotiating the sky-high price for a long time, the deal was finally settled at 620 taels."

Zhang said happily, "Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is not a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng. It can be sold for half of this price, which is a sky-high price."

Everyone was even more grateful to Feifei.

Only Ding Xiang felt that the Ganoderma lucidum might be sold for more money, but the doctor here couldn't see it.

Fortunately, I left half of it for grandpa.

She hugged Feifei and kissed the top of his head. Feifei was also happy, and her little head pushed hard against her little master, shouting "Cuckoo".

At dusk, the happy Ding Zhao finally came back.

For the first time in so many days, he smiled happily.

Dr. Jin and the shopkeeper of the medical clinic wanted to buy more Ganoderma lucidum, but he refused. How could I be willing to sell such good medicine again and leave it to my father to replenish his body?

He pounded a few pieces of Ganoderma lucidum into powder, gave Ding Zhuang the medicine, and then fed some Ganoderma lucidum.

In the evening, Ding Zhao told his wife and three children the purpose of the money.

If before, he would only tell Ding Zhuang how to use the money, not even Zhang. But after this disaster, he felt that everyone in the family should be involved and face the hardships in the future together.

He will go to Jiaozipu tomorrow to redeem the blacksmith shop and cannot let them sell it. The yard and the cattle also need to be redeemed. The redemption price will definitely be more expensive than the selling price, probably more than three hundred taels of silver.

He took out a few more pieces of paper, recording how much money he borrowed from someone and how much money he gave as a gift.

He held up the paper and said, "This is not only an account, but also a debt of gratitude. You must remember who has helped us."

The total amount of money borrowed from relatives and friends was two hundred and ten taels of silver. It was originally agreed that one cent would be interest, and even though the loan was only for a few days, it must be paid back at this interest.

Many people borrowed large sums of money and had to exchange the money.

The villagers were all poor, so they paid back all the money they sent Ding Zhuang after he was injured. Especially Xia Yuan's family, they must pay back the few taels of silver, and they don't want to owe that family any favors.

Those fields that were sold will not be redeemed until they have money to buy them later.

These items will cost more than 580 taels of silver at once, plus spending money to hire a doctor and buy medicine, there will be less than 30 taels left.

I thought that Ding Zhao would not be able to repay the foreign debt even if he spent his whole life, and that Ding Lichun and Ding Liren would have to continue to pay it back. Unexpectedly, after a few days, all the foreign debts would be repaid by twists and turns, and the shop and house could be redeemed.

From being heavily in debt to being able to save money at home, this is something they could not have dreamed of before yesterday. The key is that Ding Zhuang has a greater chance of surviving.

Ding Zhao looked at Ding Xiang. He hated Ding Chi and even sneered at his talk about being a prosperous husband of the Tang Dynasty. But because Xiao Xiangxiang brought Feifei back, she unexpectedly brought the family back to life.

Is it true that the fragrance is extremely strong? Thinking back to his father's explanation, it was God's will to bring Xiangxiang home.

This is too coincidental...
