Chapter 166: The price of medicinal herbs has risen
"I'm not going to the doctor, I'm going to give the jar of medicine and wine to my uncle, I have other things to do. Director, can I leave now?" Lu Yao asked.
"You kid has always been so serious in his work, and his temper is still very stubborn! When you were working with us on the positioning of the land boundary last year, you refused to give up an inch of land, and you fought for at least 200 acres of forest land for your boss! Okay, for the sake of the recipe you gave me for medicinal wine, I will ask the driver to give you a ride. You drink a cup of hot water first, and I'll call you a driver right away. After the director finished speaking, he picked up the landline microphone on the table and began to dial the phone number.
Lu Yao wanted to refuse, but he thought that he was injured, he didn't have much money on him, and he had to hurry, so he just opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
After the director made a phone call and explained a few words to the other team members about work, he walked to Lu Yao's side and shook Lu Yao's hand before leaving the police room.
Half an hour later, a Xiali car stopped in front of the police office. The driver got out of the car and went to the police office, picked up Lu Yao, and drove towards the city.
On the way, Lu Yao asked the driver: "Master, Director Lin is usually so busy, why do you have to go to the police room for the night shift?"
The driver said: "At present, the staffing of the village committee is not complete, and the leaders of the village committee are all wearing multiple positions. For example, Director Lin is not only the director of the village committee, but also the director of public security, the commander of the militia company, the captain of the fire brigade, the captain of the emergency detachment, and the captain of the propaganda team. ”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they were not too familiar with the roads in the city, so two hours later, the driver drove to the road outside the gate of the Honghu Villa where Zeng Youliang lived, and Lu Yao hurriedly asked the driver to stop.
The driver asked suspiciously, "Brother, don't you need me to send you in?" I see that you seem to be working very hard, are you sick? You can go in with a jar of medicine and wine, right?"
"I'm fine, thank you, master! After Lu Yao finished speaking, he first pushed the car door and got out of the car, put on the raincoat that had been opened, and then turned around and picked up the jar of medicine and wine placed on the seat.
"Wait a minute! Your raincoat is rotten, and the rain will soon soak the clothes you wear inside. I have a raincoat in the trunk of my car, you can wear it. Do you want to go back to Fuwei Village? I'll wait for you?" the driver asked.
"No need, thank you! goodbye!" Lu Yao put the rear car door on top with his body, and walked towards the gate of the villa area with the jar of medicine and wine.
The driver couldn't bear to see Lu Yao walking hobbly in the rain wearing a torn raincoat. He pushed open the driver's door, got out of the car with an umbrella, took out a raincoat from the trunk of the car, quickly chased Lu Yao, stuffed the raincoat into his arm and wrist holding the jar of medicine and wine, then turned around and got into the car, and drove away.
It was not yet seven o'clock, Lu Yao stood on the sidewalk and looked around, and saw a pharmacy across the road, so he walked across the road with a jar of medicine and wine and walked towards the pharmacy.
All but a few breakfast restaurants are open, and all other shops, including pharmacies, are closed.
Since Lu Yao left the electronic watch given to him by A-Ying in the shack with the pager, he didn't know the specific time now, so he could only make a rough judgment that it would be at least an hour before the pharmacy opened.
Recently, his stomach has not been very good, and he ate very little for dinner last night. Plus the aftermath of the midnight terror, and the night without closing your eyes. Now he was hungry and exhausted, sleepy, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.
He decided to go to the breakfast shop to buy something to eat first, then rest in front of the pharmacy and wait for the pharmacy to open.
He went to a breakfast shop that sold steamed buns and bought four steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk for one dollar. Because he was holding the jar of medicine and wine, he didn't dare to go into the restaurant to eat. There are many people in and out, and it is easy to break the glass jar. He drank the soy milk in two sips, handed the bowl to the boss, lifted the steamed bun and hugged the jar of medicinal wine, walked to the steps at the door of the pharmacy and sat down, and began to eat the steamed bun.
After eating the two steamed buns, he felt really sleepy, and he didn't dare to fall asleep on the steps. So he stood up, took off the raincoat he had opened, put on the raincoat given to him by the driver, and began to walk back and forth in front of the pharmacy.
An hour later, the roller shutter of the pharmacy opened. He walked into the pharmacy with the jar of medicine and wine, and after reporting the names and grams of Chinese medicinal materials he needed to the pharmacist, he asked, "Doctor, how much does it cost?"
"You have brought all the sealed jars of medicinal wine, and you must put the medicinal herbs directly into the jar, and the herbs must have been concocted. Wait a minute, I'll see if there are enough 100 grams of herbs to be concocted?" the pharmacist said, turning around and walking towards the medicine cabinet.
After pulling a few medicine cabinets and looking at them, he walked back to the counter and said, "Enough is enough, but the price of this kind of concocted medicinal materials is a bit expensive, do you have enough money?"
"How much does it cost?" Lu Yao asked.
"You want a hundred grams, and the price of each gram is one and a half cents a piece, and a total of one hundred and fifteen yuan. ”
"Doctor, I buy so much, can the price be more discounted? Last month, when I was dispensing medicine at the pharmacy in Fuwei Village, I asked for the price, and they quoted me nine cents per gram. Lu Yao said.
"All the medicinal herbs in your jar are dispensed in that pharmacy, right? Of course they can give you discounts! Another main reason is that they open a pharmacy in the village outside the Guan, and the rent is more than half of that of ours, and the price of some medicinal materials can certainly be cheaper. Aren't you bringing so much money? Or you can buy one or twenty grams less, and it won't affect the effect of the medicinal wine. The pharmacist said slowly.
"But the doctor is prescribing 100 grams, the number of grams is not enough, will the medicinal properties be reduced?" Lu Yao asked.
"Young man, are you a doctor or am I a doctor? You don't understand the professional knowledge, and I won't tell you in depth. I'll just tell you that it's the wine that really determines the effect of medicinal wine. If the wine is not good, no matter how good the herbs are, they are in vain. Of course, it doesn't mean that the herbs are not important, as long as the quality of the herbs is guaranteed within a certain dosage range, it doesn't matter if you have more or less. I'm talking about medicinal herbs for brewing medicinal wine, if it is a Chinese medicine that needs to be boiled, it must be taken in strict accordance with the formula and dosage prescribed by the doctor. The pharmacist said.
"Okay, I'll buy ten grams less, I've only brought a hundred. Lu Yao said.
"In this case, it is raining so heavily outside, and you are still holding a jar of medicine and wine to dispense medicinal herbs, it must be given to your most important person, you are very caring! You are also the first customer of our pharmacy today, I will give you a preferential price." One hundred grams, the total price is one hundred and one, and you will be given a discount of five yuan. How's it going?" asked the pharmacist.
