Chapter 31 Luck and Change

As soon as he entered the house, Lu Qing 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 carp, please keep them.

The old doctor handed the bag to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing took it and was surprised when he 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, he I want to buy 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 had said before that the price of the best red moon carp was only one hundred taels per carp.

That's why I said, you are very lucky. The old doctor stroked his beard and said, Generally speaking, only the best Red Moon Carp is worth a hundred taels.

But that noble man is very fond of his wife. In addition to being very delicious, this red moon carp also has an excellent nourishing effect, so that 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.

Lu Qing opened the bag and took a look. The white silver coins inside were a bit dazzling.

Almost all are silver ingots, some are large and some are small, big ones are 10 taels per ingot, 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.

And the cost of buying iron pot and salt.

Not to mention the salt, but the iron pot was expensive, which he expected.

After all, in his memory, when the original owner sold the iron pot at home, he also made a lot of money.

Until now, not many families in the village have access to iron pots.

You can imagine how valuable the iron pot is.

But no matter how expensive the iron pot was, Lu Qing would still buy it.

After being 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 sure enough, 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 bag.

No need. Old Doctor Chen waved his hand, It's just two pieces of fat pork. It doesn't cost anything. I'm too lazy to cut any more money for you.

Seeing that the old doctor was unwilling to accept it, Lu Qing had no choice but to give up.

He knew that people in this world had a disdain for pork.

Especially the upper-class nobles believed that pork was despicable and was only eaten by the poor and humble at the bottom.

People who are a little rich are more likely to eat beef and sheep meat.

Therefore, the price of pork in this world is not expensive.

Of course, this is not expensive, only compared to 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 regularly.

Only during holidays, or if you have a lot of money and have guests at home, will you 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 injection.

Lu Qing took off his shirt as instructed and lay down on the wooden bed.

The old doctor took out the silver needle.

He said: Today is the third and last time for you to get acupuncture. After this injection, you won't need to get acupuncture again in the future.

Grandpa Chen, are you saying that my health is all healed? Lu Qing asked in surprise.

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 well and keep resting to recover slowly. However, you don't need to insert the needle to strengthen your body.

Thank you, Grandpa Chen.

Okay, relax and don't move anymore.

Old Doctor Chen started to give the needle, and after a while, after the silver needle was inserted, Lu Qing also fell asleep.

The old doctor looked at Lu Qing who had fallen asleep and frowned slightly.

Although during this period of time, 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 acupuncture to examine Lu Qing's body in detail.

There is indeed nothing abnormal in his body, let alone any root causes of disease.

He really couldn't figure it out.

After thinking for a while, but still unable to figure it out, 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 brother asleep?

Xiaoyan on the side asked softly.

After seeing Lu Qing get a few injections, the little guy was no longer as scared as before.

But when Grandpa Chen gave the injection, she still didn't dare to look.

Well, I'm asleep. Let's go. Let's not disturb your brother's rest. Go outside. Yesterday, grandpa bought some pastries from the city. I heard they taste very good.

Really, what kind of pastry is it?

It's called Osmanthus Cake...

When Lu Qing woke up from his deep sleep, he felt that his whole body was full of energy.

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 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 shirt 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, and he didn't know what they were talking about. He was swaying on his feet, raising his head and smiling very happily.

This scene was almost the same as what Lu Qing saw when he woke up from an acupuncture for the first time.

However, 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 will be two more chapters tonight.
