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.

As soon as Lu Qing picked it up, he felt the heavy weight and was surprised.

“So much, Grandpa Chen, how much did the Red Moon Carp cost?”

All this is thanks to Dr. Chen.

"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 based on his understanding of the old doctor, he suspected that the old doctor still undercharged.

"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.

 You can imagine how precious the iron pot is.

 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.

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

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

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 bag.

With an iron pot, he can cook many more dishes.

 But he still couldn't find out the reason why Lu Qing suddenly got better in the first place.

"But the nobleman is very fond of his wife. In addition to the delicious taste, the red moon carp also has excellent nourishing effects, so the nobleman directly bought it from me at the highest price."

“Grandpa Chen, are you saying that my health is well?” Lu Qing asked in surprise.

 “It’s called osmanthus cake…”

 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.

 So the price of pork in this world is not expensive.

 He really couldn't figure it out.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Qing heard Xiaoyan's laughter coming from outside the yard.

“Grandpa Chen, is your brother asleep?”

 He smiled slightly, put on his coat and walked out of the yard.

"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."

 His luck is really good.

 Let’s not talk about salt, but the iron pot is expensive, which he expected.

 Although during this period, Lu Qing was recuperating at his place and recovered very well.

It doesn’t matter if you are a bit poor in clothes, but you must not treat yourself too badly when it comes to food. This is Lu Qing’s consistent rule of life.

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

"I will give you all the cash you asked for from these one hundred taels. 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."

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.

"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."

 “Thank you, Grandpa Chen.”

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

 He knows that people in this world have a disdain for pork.

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

 One hundred six. Three nine. Two nine. One seven

 Old doctor Chen started to inject the needles. After a while, after the silver needles were inserted, Lu Qing also fell asleep.

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

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 swayed his feet and raised his head and smiled very happily.

He said: "Today is the third and last time to give you an acupuncture. After this injection, you won't need to do it again."

The old doctor charges ten taels of silver for consultation and medicine, which sounds quite expensive.

 The old doctor took out the silver needle.

 Having been in this world for so long, almost all the food I eat is either boiled or stewed, and my mouth is almost pale.

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.

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.

 After thinking for a while, but still unable to figure out the point, the old doctor finally relaxed his brows.

 Xiaoyan on the side asked softly.

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

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

 Of course this is not expensive, and it is just compared with beef and mutton.

 The cost of buying iron pots and salt.

What a coincidence.

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.

"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."

 “Thank you very much, Grandpa Chen.”

 After hearing this, Lu Qing had to agree with the old doctor's statement.

"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?"

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

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

Only during festivals, or when you have a lot of money and guests come to your home, you will buy some to eat.

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

"It's hard to say that you have 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. "

 For the common people at the bottom, as long as it is meat, it cannot be cheap.     So even pork is not something that can be eaten regularly.

Now, his body has basically recovered and he has just earned hundreds of taels of silver.

It’s just that at that time, he was weak and had nothing, so it was difficult to survive.

 “Really, what kind of pastry is it?”

During this period, he also took advantage of the opportunity of getting acupuncture to carefully examine Lu Qing's body.

 “Okay, relax and don’t move anymore.”

Especially the upper-class nobles think that pork is despicable and is only eaten by the poor and humble people at the bottom.

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

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

 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’s work. I had a headache yesterday and couldn’t finish it. Sorry, there will be two more chapters tonight.
