Chapter 5: Majiaji, Buying Cows
The people in Liujia Village were all new arrivals and were not very familiar with Majiaji, so they sent more than ten people to go to the market together.
Perhaps because they shared the same fate, or perhaps because they were about to become neighbors, the people from the two villages quickly became familiar with each other, and then the people from Liujia Village learned about Liang Zifeng's deeds.
Liang Zifeng's fellow villagers also learned from Liujia Village that there is indeed a disease called soul-leaving syndrome, and Liang Zifeng also felt that people who were wary of him before have now almost let down their guard.
"Brother Zifeng, you are the son of God, right? Not only did you recover, but after you came back to life, you can still remember those memories. You are definitely the son of God."
Some people in Liujia Village have seen cases of soul-leaving syndrome, but they have never heard of anyone having other memories after returning to the soul, so they all complained about Liang Zifeng. Of course, they were just joking.
……
The team of more than 40 people was quite large, and no thief dared to provoke them along the way, so the team quickly arrived at Majiaji safely. After agreeing on the gathering time and place for the return trip, everyone dispersed.
After entering Majiaji, Liang Zifeng's brothers and sisters looked around curiously. They were curious about everything and asked Liang Zifeng what this was and that from time to time.
Majiaji is indeed a well-known market. Not only does it have a large flow of people, but it is also large in scale. There are patrols from time to time to maintain order and ensure the safety of the market.
After Liang Zifeng looked at the situation at the market, he took his younger brothers and sisters and went straight to the only clinic. At that time, there were many people seeking medical treatment in the clinic, so when the four siblings came in, no one came to receive them.
Liang Zifeng was not in a hurry either. He just watched quietly a white-haired doctor treating patients. Then he found that the doctor's medical skills were indeed superb, at least better than the old Chinese doctor he had studied under in his previous life.
After seeing a patient, the white-haired doctor looked up at Liang Zifeng and the others, and nodded at Liang Zifeng kindly.
"Brother, are you here to sell medicinal herbs? Can I see what kind of herbs you have?"
"The old doctor's medical skills are amazing. We four siblings live deep in the mountains, and our family is running out of food, so we plan to sell some medicinal herbs to supplement our family income." Liang Zifeng said politely, bowing slightly to the white-haired doctor.
"Huh? Did you process these herbs yourselves?" The white-haired doctor was a little surprised after looking at the herbs in Liang Zifeng's backpack.
"Well, I've learned how to process medicinal herbs before. Old doctor, can you take a look at them? How much can they be sold for?"
“Yes, this medicinal material is processed very well and can be considered top-grade. If all of them are of this quality, our Hongyi Clinic will definitely not let you suffer any loss.” The white-haired doctor nodded with satisfaction, and then asked a middle-aged man to take the four siblings to the back hall.
When the four siblings came out of Hong Medical Clinic, they were all smiling. This clinic was very good and did not rip them off. Their medicinal materials were sold at a good price.
It was precisely because of Hong Yiguan's actions that Liang Zifeng sold a 50-year-old ginseng that he had hidden on his body to Hong Yiguan. In the end, Liang Zifeng received a total of more than 200 taels of silver.
After getting the money, Liang Zifeng first went to buy some cloth and needle and thread. He planned to go back and make his own clothes because he was very dissatisfied with the clothing styles in this world. In his previous life, he was also a Hanfu enthusiast. If he made them himself, they would probably look better.
When I was shopping, if I came across something delicious, I would buy some for my younger brothers and sisters, and they all changed their straw sandals into cloth shoes, so the smiles on their faces never disappeared along the way.
After his younger brothers and sisters had eaten their fill and had almost finished watching the fun, Liang Zifeng took them to the livestock market. He had originally planned to buy a donkey, but he didn't expect to buy a buffalo, and it was a buy one get one free deal, a calf about one month old.
However, Liang Zifeng still found the problem. The cow was sick and the calf was also a little thin. No wonder no one was willing to buy it.
Through mental examination, Liang Zifeng knew that the cow had mastitis. Fortunately, he was confident in the treatment. In his previous life, he had seen cows with this disease, so he also knew the appropriate prescription. Although he didn't remember it completely, he was confident that he could complete it.
Finally, with people around him looking at him as if he was a fool, Liang Zifeng bought the cow and the calf. Then he asked his younger brothers and sisters to wait for him at the livestock market while he turned around and went to Hongyi Clinic to buy three sets of herbs in the prescription.
After reuniting with their younger brother and sister, they went to the blacksmith shop and bought a lot of iron tools, such as saws, hammers, axes, chopping knives, kitchen knives, daggers and nails, etc. They also bought two iron ingots, each weighing about 200 pounds. Fortunately, they had just bought a cow, otherwise they really couldn't lift it.
Afterwards, they bought 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of wheat, as well as other daily necessities, especially 30 kilograms of coarse salt. This time he planned to teach his two younger brothers how to purify the coarse salt.
The buffalo in this world seemed to have a much greater load-bearing capacity than the buffalo in the previous life. This cow was sick, and even with more than 500 kilograms of cargo on its body, it didn't look like it was struggling, which was a bit unbelievable.
When the four siblings arrived at the meeting place, more than 30 villagers had already arrived. Everyone was surprised to see that the four siblings had brought back a cow and a calf. However, after looking at the cow and the calf, the experienced villagers advised Liang Zifeng to return the cow.
In response to the villagers' concern, Liang Zifeng had to say that he was confident that he could cure the two cows. Only then did the villagers stop persuading him with half-belief.
The return journey was not as fast as the journey there, because they bought a lot of things. The backpacks of Liang Zifeng's two younger brothers were full and they were holding a lot in their hands. Not to mention Liang Zifeng, the things on him weighed probably 200 kilograms.
Only the little sister felt the most comfortable. When she came, Liang Zifeng often held her in his arms, and when she went back, she could ride on the calf's back. However, this girl was still too light, and the calf didn't seem to feel anything.
When they arrived at Liujia Village, everyone who stayed in the village came out to greet them. They also said that the two villages should visit each other more often in the future. When Liang Zifeng and his friends returned home, it was already dark.
They didn't make dinner, but ate pancakes bought from the market. The two younger brothers went to arrange places for the two cows, while Liang Zifeng went to make medicine for the cow.
This female buffalo seemed to be quite spiritual. She was quiet and obedient on the way back. Now she saw Liang Zifeng bringing a basin of medicine over. After hearing Liang Zifeng say that the disease would be cured after drinking it, she even rubbed Liang Zifeng with her head and drank all the medicine in one breath.
