Chapter 60: The Strange Apothecary
Turning around, he looked at the medicine shop in front of him, and muttered, "Grandmaster-grade elixir? β
Xin'er stepped into the pharmacy and knew what was different. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the faΓ§ade of this pharmacy is small, it connects the houses on both sides, which is the size of a tavern in front of it. Opposite the main entrance is a counter, with a whole shelf of pills on the back side, and a foot door next to it, which should lead to the next street, and on the left side is a hand stove-sized alchemy ding, and then to the left, there is a shelf of books; On the right are rows of herbs.
Every table and chair here, every shelf is made of fine sandalwood, and the house is full of medicinal fragrance, low-key and luxurious.
When the shopkeeper saw Xin'er, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said politely: "This guest officer, I don't know what you want to order?" β
Xin'er rolled her eyes and said, "Grandmaster-level Recovery Pill." β
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this recovery pill has just been bought, and now the alchemist is going up the mountain to collect medicine, will there be one and a half moments, you better go to another pharmacy to have a look." β
People do business, are trying to leave customers, even if there is no goods, to other places to merge, will let customers stay, because every customer may become a repeat customer, this shopkeeper looks hospitable, but the customer is pushed out, very strange, you must know that he pushed out not a customer, but a customer.
"There's a book on alchemy?" Xin'er looked at the bookshelf on the left.
"Exactly, the guest officer is interested?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up as if he were looking at a money bag.
Xin'er said in her heart: "This shopkeeper is obviously greedy for money, how can he not make money and push the source of customers outward?" "I'm already walking towards the bookshelf.
"Guest officer, this is a book about the introduction of junior alchemists, and the next one is a book about herbal medicine, I don't know what level you are and what kind of book you need, I can find it for you."
Xin'er looked down at a book about herbs in her hand and said, "Both." β
The shopkeeper immediately shuttled back and forth on the shelves, and in a few moments, he took five books.
Xin'er smiled and thought: "This shopkeeper is good at selling things, and he knows that if he takes too much, he will be suspected of selling, and if he takes less, he will not be able to sell his books." β
"Guest officer, these three books are books about herbs, and these two books are books about the introduction of junior alchemists."
Xin'er took the book, and when she saw it, she was happy, although this shopkeeper was greedy for money, but he was a researcher in pharmacology, and the books he took were very good.
Looking up, just about to ask the price, Xin'er found that in the corner of the bookshelf, a piece of paper was taken out, so she asked, "What is that?" β
The shopkeeper looked back, took it out casually, and said with a smile: "This is a broken book, not complete." If you like it, take it. β
Xin'er took it and took a look, the paper of this book was yellow, obviously old, a few thin sheets, and there were gaps, it looked like a piece of paper from a distance, but she had always liked ancient books, and said with a smile: "Then thank you shopkeeper, I want these books." β
The shopkeeper suddenly smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened.
When passing by the medicine refining tripod, the shopkeeper lost no time in asking: "Guest officer, do you need a medicine tripod, my family's medicine tripod is one in a million." β
Xin'er does have the idea of refining medicine, and the medicine tripod is naturally indispensable, a pair of watery eyes looked around, the shopkeeper didn't understand, and pointed to a small tripod with a smile, and said: "Guest officer, look, that is the treasure of our town store, Longyang Ding." β
Xin'er suddenly flashed in her mind: "Longyang Ding, Qiankun Ding." Career is only in Qiankun Ding, I want to find Qiankun Ding, is it a medicine tripod? Xin'er was inexplicably excited, but she was lost in an instant: "I don't know if I am a descendant of the Dongfang family, and what is the matter." β
The shopkeeper was excited and lost when he saw Xin'er, thinking that she didn't take a fancy to Longyang Ding, so he began to introduce other Ding.
Xin'er looked at these tripods the size of a hand stove with the shopkeeper, and suddenly asked, "This tripod is so small, you can only practice one pill at a time?" β
The medicine boy who walked by next to "poof...... didn't hold back, laughed, and the shopkeeper glared at him, and then slipped away.
The shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Guest officer, don't be joking." β
Xin'er looked ignorant and said, "I didn't see a joke." β
The shopkeeper looked at Xin'er carefully, and it didn't seem like a joke, so he said, "Guest officer, don't you have a master?" β
"Master?" Xin'er thought that he was asking about the master of medicine refining, so she shook her head and said, "No, if so, do I still need to buy books to learn by myself?" β
A hint of surprise flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, but in the end, he had seen the world, and knew the truth of not bullying the poor young man, maybe he was a medicine refining wizard, even if he wasn't, he was also his guest.
Patiently explained: "This medicine pod will grow in size after you drip blood contract. β
Xin'er looked at these pocket-sized tripods in surprise like a child, and grasped them one by one. The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, and said in his heart: It's a sincere child.
"Shopkeeper, I want this ding." The tripod in Xin'er's hand was just right in her hand, if it weren't for the pharmacy, Xin'er would have felt that this was a hand stove.
The top wall is engraved with the mountains and mountains between the vast sky and the endless earth, and the rivers and seas are magnificent.
The shopkeeper's face was as constipated, and he said for a long time: "Guest officer, this is a hand stove, not a ding." After speaking, he smiled.
Xin'er was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, just ask for this." β
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly in his heart: "This is the object that I took away at that time, and the capital was also spent, but this is to be sold, but there is a suspicion of bullying, how is this good?" β
Rubbing his palm, the shopkeeper asked tentatively: "Guest officer, don't embarrass me, take a look, otherwise you will buy this Longyang Ding, and I will give you this hand stove." Otherwise, my pharmacy has never sold hand stoves. β
It's okay for Xin'er to think about it, anyway, she has to refine medicine with Yaoding, and she also understands the shopkeeper's thoughts.
"Okay, okay, guest officer, is that all? Still need herbs? The shopkeeper immediately smiled.
Xin'er looked at the medicinal herbs and asked, "Count the money first?" β
The shopkeeper didn't force it, and said: "Five books are fifty taels, and this Longyang Ding is one thousand taels." A total of one thousand and fifty taels. β
Xin'er smiled, pretending to take out a purple leaf grass from her sleeve, but she took out a purple leaf grass from the black jade, and said, "Shopkeeper, can you collect herbs?" β
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and wanted to refuse, thinking that this little girl would not have any good medicinal materials, but when his eyes touched the purple leaf grass, he was stunned and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Xin'er looked at the shopkeeper's expression with interest.
"This ...... This, on ...... Purple leaf grass of the highest grade. The shopkeeper wrapped his hand with his sleeve, took the purple leaf grass, and watched it back and forth, but it still had roots.
"This purple leaf grass, can the shopkeeper look at it?"
"It's good, it's good, girl, I'll give you fifteen hundred taels of purple leaf grass, and if you still have such herbs in the future, you can bring them." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took the herbs and walked to the back door next to the counter, and said as he walked: "Baizhu, find four hundred and fifty taels of silver for the girl." β
The shopkeeper left in a hurry, and the medicine boy named Baizhu also handed Xin'er four hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets. Xin'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is the shopkeeper doing here?" β
Baizhu looked back at the door and said, "Behind is the medicine garden, and the shopkeeper is going to plant it." β
Xin'er walked out of the pharmacy in confusion, and heard: "Someone, take Dongfang Xin'er back to me." A face distorted by excitement also appeared in front of Xin'er.
