Chapter Eighty-Three: A Pharmacy with a Plaque and No Words

"That's right, this nephew of yours worked so hard to get this deal, I'm afraid that he has also received a lot of benefits from it, you can let the police arrest and interrogate it together!" Long Chengyu was afraid that Sun Shichao would be soft-hearted, so he hurriedly said.

"Second uncle spare my life, don't let the police arrest me. These two people gave me benefits, just asked me to raise the price and urge this deal, but I really don't know if this king is fake. Sun Jian pleaded pitifully.

"You...... Hey, I asked myself if I treated you well, I didn't expect you to gang up with outsiders to deceive me! Sun Shichao said with hatred that iron is not steel.

The police soon came and brought the merchant, the Cantonese pharmacist, and Sun Jianze back to the police station for investigation. The crowd gradually dispersed.

After her police companion came, Hu Jingyao actually walked to the side intentionally or unintentionally, avoiding meeting with the police, perhaps so that she could continue to accompany Long Chengyu to buy medicine in a low-key manner.

"Mr. Long, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise, my loss would have been great!" Sun Shichao looked at Long Chengyu gratefully, and even changed his title from "Doctor Long" to "Mr. Long".

Two million is not a small amount even for a time-honored brand like Baiyaoge, not to mention that once you buy a fake ginseng king, it will also have a great blow to the reputation of Baiyaoge, and the impact on their business will be huge.

"It's nothing, I just happened to buy medicinal herbs and came here, and you are Dr. Yang's old employer, if you can help, of course I will help." Long Chengyu humbly said.

"By the way, Mr. Long, what medicinal herbs do you want to buy? Today is the weekend, it should be a rest time, why did you still come to buy medicinal herbs for the hospital?" Sun Shichao said puzzled.

"I want to buy medicinal herbs, but not for Chinese medicine, but for private procurement, and I need to prepare some unique secret medicines myself. Long Chengyu explained.

"Oh, whatever medicinal herbs you want, as long as I have them in this store, Mr. Long just asks, and I will give them for free!" Sun Shichao pointed to his own pharmacy.

"There's no need to send it down for free, it's just that the medicinal materials I need are relatively rare, and I hope Boss Sun can help inquire more." After Long Chengyu finished speaking, he reported the names of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials that he urgently needed and the requirements for the year.

"Sizzle, Mr. Long, these medicinal materials you mentioned are indeed rare, and the requirements for the year are relatively high. Sun Shichao frowned slightly when he heard this, "In addition to wild ginseng, there are other three flavors in my store, all of which are treasures that are not easily sold to the outside world, since Mr. Long needs them, I can give them to you."

As for the remaining medicines, I don't have them here, I'm afraid that the entire medicinal herb market is not in stock, but I can help you keep an eye on it. However, two of the herbs, please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I haven't even heard of them, and I want to help you pay attention to them, but I'm afraid that I'm also powerless. ”

"It's not bad that you can have four. Long Chengyu said happily, "As for those two flavors that you haven't heard of, I can draw you a sketch and write down their relevant information, so that you can always pay attention to them." ”

Next, Long Chengyu went through paper and pen to draw a sketch of the two medicinal herbs, and accompanied them with corresponding annotations. Taking advantage of Long Chengyu's drawing process, Sun Shichao also asked the guys in the store to take out the four flavors of medicinal materials that Long Chengyu needed.

It is a pity that these four flavors of medicinal materials are not among the remaining three flavors of medicinal materials that Long Chengyu used to make Dabaicao Soup. However, the two ginseng strains are pure wild ginseng of twenty or thirty years, which is not much higher in quality than the ginseng bought by the school hospital and Chen Zhongwei.

The school hospital was reluctant, and Chen Zhongwei was illiterate, so they bought Yishan ginseng. At first, the term "wild ginseng" was found in the forest and then dug up and transplanted.

However, the current Yishan ginseng is basically transplanted to the mountain with planted ginseng, and there is basically no wild ginseng transplanted, so the price of Yishan ginseng is very low, and the medicinal value is also greatly discounted.

Long Chengyu didn't want to take advantage of Sun Shichao and take things for nothing. But Sun Shichao was grateful to Long Chengyu for his kindness today, and refused to accept the money no matter what. In the end, under Hu Jingyao's mediation, the two each took a step back and bought the medicinal materials at a five-fold price.

When he was about to leave, Sun Shichao personally sent Long Chengyu to the door of the Hundred Medicine Pavilion, his expression was a little hesitant, and he stopped talking several times.

"What does Boss Sun have to say, it's okay to say it directly?" Long Chengyu noticed that his expression was different, so he stopped and asked.

"That," Sun Shichao hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "In this medicinal herb market, in addition to my Hundred Medicine Pavilion, there is actually an old pharmacy, where there may be the medicinal materials you need." ”

"Oh, what's the name of that pharmacy?" When Long Chengyu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"The drugstore, which doesn't have a name, is in an old, four-story house to the east of the herb market. Sun Shi said with a smile.

"An old pharmacy that doesn't have a name?" Long Chengyu said suspiciously.

"Yes, not only is it not named, but the store has a rather strange temper. If you don't look at the customer right, they won't even bother to buy the herbs for you. Sun Shichao said.

"Oh, doesn't this look like a businessman?" Long Chengyu was also very surprised. Open the door to do business is not all about harmony and wealth, is the customer God, this store is good, do business all by your own love.

"Yes, because of this, its name is not as famous as my Hundred Medicine Pavilion. But if you talk about the long history, that pharmacy is actually older than my time-honored Baiyao Pavilion.

And over the years, we have learned something about it, and the medicinal materials there are indeed quite abundant. My fathers and I have all come across cases where customers don't get the herbs at the Hundred Medicine Pavilion but they do get them there. Sun Shichao said.

"Oh, so I really have to go there. Long Chengyu said.

"It's okay to go and see, but it's up to your luck to be looked at and sell you some rare medicinal herbs. Sun Shichao said.

According to Sun Shichao's guidance, after walking more than 100 meters, Long Chengyu really saw an old-fashioned house, which was four stories high and belonged to a wooden structure.

"From the point of view of location, this house is not facing the street, relatively remote, usually few vehicles pass by, even during the day, it is not so noisy, and it is quite quiet to live.

But it's not a good place to open a pharmacy, I don't know why Boss Sun said that this medicinal herb shop is open here. Hu Jingyao said puzzled.

"Maybe the store didn't want to run a business in the first place. Let's go and see. Long Chengyu said, and walked towards the store first. There is a plaque in the shop, but there is no word written on it.

When I stood at the door, I already smelled a lot of familiar Chinese medicinal materials. Walking inside, there were no other guests. Only near the window of the herb shop, there was a little girl wearing a dress that resembled ancient times.

The little girl looked like she was seven or eight years old, with two pigtails, sitting together at the old-fashioned square table, reading intently, and seemed to be a little fascinated by reading.

When Long Chengyu looked carefully, he found that the little girl was reading an ancient book bound in thread, judging from the yellowish title page, there should be some age.

"Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription"!" When Long Chengyu saw the title of the ancient book in the little girl's hand, his surprise was even more indescribable, "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" is a famous ancient Chinese medicine prescription book, and it is also the first clinical emergency manual in China.

Not to mention the profound pharmacology of the diseases inside, even the difficult ancient Chinese words and phrases in it are not something that a seven or eight-year-old girl can understand! But the little girl in front of her can read it with relish, and it seems that she is still intoxicated! This makes Long Chengyu feel incredible.

"Little friend, you are really amazing, you can also understand such an ancient medical book?" Long Chengyu didn't want to disturb the little girl, but seeing that there was no one left and right, he had to say hello to the child first.

When the little girl heard Long Chengyu's voice, she raised her head, blinked her eyes as if she could speak, and looked at Long Chengyu in surprise and said, "Do you know that this is a medical book?"

"I have a little understanding, this book was originally written by Ge Hong, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and later supplemented by Tao Hongjing of the Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which mainly describes the treatment prescriptions, acupuncture, external treatment and other methods for the acute attack of various acute diseases or some chronic diseases, and briefly remembers the causes and symptoms of individual diseases. Long Chengyu said.

"Hey, big brother, you seem to know a lot, then let me ask you, is the 'ghost attack disease' mentioned in the book caused by ghosts?"

"The Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription has been written for a long time, and I am not sure what the 'ghost attack disease' is, but I personally think that it should be just some swelling and stasis of unknown cause, not caused by ghosts.

Otherwise, "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" will not list so many prescriptions and acupuncture methods for treatment, but should exorcise ghosts and ask God for treatment. Long Chengyu said.

"Oh, and do you remember what cures are written in the book?" asked the little girl slyly.

"Don't you have a book in your hand, and you still want to ask me?" Long Chengyu said with a smile, "You can go and see for yourself the treatment method of "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription". However, it is also recorded in another Chinese medical book, "Compendium of Materia Medica", which says: "The ghost strikes the body and makes pain, and uses one or two honeysuckle to decoction it in water." ’”

"Compendium of Materia Medica? It seems that that the medicine book is also very good. The little girl said thoughtfully, "Well, I'll have to ask my grandfather for another day." ”

"Little friend, you are really hard at a young age, by the way, are you here? We want to buy some medicinal herbs. Hu Jingyao was not interested in medical books, so she couldn't help but ask directly.
