After the foreman entered, someone soon came out. 【Book by】

This time, it was not Jia Lao Liu himself, but a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he waved to me expressionlessly: "You come in with me." “

Standing in the shade of the tree at the door, I looked at the foreman surnamed Lu next to me, and he waved at me and said, "Don't worry, just follow him to the pharmacy." ”

I have a better impression of him because he is relatively friendly.

I turned around and followed the guy into the backyard of the pharmacy.

We went in with soft footsteps, all the way through a cloister, but the backyard of the pharmacy was unexpectedly large.

It doesn't look like a pharmacy, but it looks like the backyard of a family.

On the east side of the courtyard is a storeroom that looks quite large.

The young man took me to the courtyard and stood under the vines, and said to me briefly: "Come to you in a moment, wait for you." ”

I sat down on a stone bench under the vine trellis.

Looking at the pharmacies that came and went through the backyard from time to time, I roughly counted them, adding up to no less than seven or eight, according to the information I had learned before, plus the size of the yard in front of me.

Counting the storeroom that looks quite large.

In my heart, this pharmacy should be the largest in a border town.

Jia Laoliu took the brunt of choosing here to find manpower, on the one hand, out of consideration for the large number of people here, and he took out two people for half a day, which could not cause the problem of lack of manpower in the pharmacy.

In addition, their shopkeeper was invited by others when he went out?

The other party's origins don't seem to be small.

Another reason why he chose this place is that I think he is still very dedicated to the matters explained by the herb merchant.

The size of the pharmacy determines that the young people here have more opportunities to come into contact with a wide variety of medicinal materials than in other places, and they also have more opportunities to learn the medical knowledge they have learned.

Professional procedures ensure that they complete the task reliably and efficiently!

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered another stubble.

The herb merchant who was going to Sealand from the border had to recruit people to help sort out the herbs, but I don't know what kind of medicine it is, or if it is a mixture of many varieties?

I was sitting on a stone bench under a vine trellis, thinking. The side door where the young man had brought me in just now suddenly there was movement again.

I was far away, and I could only faintly hear the sound of talking, and no one in the courtyard noticed me for a while, and most of the men who passed by had things on their hands. Where will there be spare time to take care of me.

I couldn't help but get up and want to go to the cloister to take a look, and get close enough to know what was going on there.

Before I could move, the sound of the conversation was getting closer to me, and I changed my mind and continued to sit down and wait.

After a while, I saw two or three people coming, each carrying a large basket on their backs.

The person carrying the basket at the head said to the two people behind him: "This batch of medicinal materials was transported so late, and it was delayed on the road." “

Another person replied, "I heard from the steward who drove the car, it has rained a lot this year." They walked on mountain roads, and encountered heavy rain one after another, and sometimes for the sake of safety, they avoided it for half a day, so they finally arrived today. "Do something in the afternoon. Before dinner, all the medicinal materials were sorted out and stored in the warehouse. “

The leader raised his voice, very much like a big disciple in the sect, and I guess that he was about the first apprentice in this group to enter the pharmacy. "Got it." Several people chimed in.

At this stall, I don't know which corner Jia Lao Liu, who has never been seen, came out of. He bent his back slightly, and suddenly came to me, which startled me!

His face looked very gloomy, and my heart tightened, I didn't know what was wrong, and I just wanted to ask him. As soon as he saw the men carrying the basket, he rushed over with three steps and two steps.

Stopping in front of them, Jia Laoliu had a smile on his face, not at all the expression he had just faced me, and he lowered his voice and said a few words.

The one at the head shook his head and said, "Brother Jia." I've known you for several years, and it's not that we're not unrighteous right now. ”

"Look at the medicinal materials on our backs, they are the medicinal materials that have just been delivered, and we can't even sort out the medicinal materials of these pharmacies in the afternoon, so we really can't spare the manpower to do your job."

His expression looked very embarrassed, and it seemed that rejecting Lao Jia was a very sad thing for him, but I knew that this was just a wording to treat people, which proved that the emotional intelligence of the disciple led by him was not low.

He thought about it, and then took a sentence, and said to Lao Jia euphemistically: "If you want to say, it's okay to wait until tomorrow morning, we must be free, it's always okay to smoke two people." "I can't wait, I'm in a hurry about this matter," Jia Lao Liu said earnestly, "Tomorrow morning, that medicinal herb merchant plans to pass the checkpoint, and he will sort it out tonight anyway." ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you add a little silver, it will be done." "Brother Jia, it's not a matter of money, we can't help and can't do anything."

Several people carried baskets to the door of the medicine store, and the leader took out a bunch of keys from his body, opened the door of the medicine store, and a smell of medicine greeted him.

I saw them rest their baskets on a few empty shelves at the door of the medicine store, and then they ran again, and when they came back, they had a few more boxes on their backs.

The shelves at the door of the pharmacy warehouse were piled up, but their people had no intention of leaving, which meant that they planned to start tidying up immediately.

I walked over slowly, and several people were looking down and opening the basket to pick up the herbs, completely unaware of me.

I stood by and watched for a while, and I don't know when, Jia Lao Liu also came over, standing beside me without saying a word, and watched the medicinal materials they had taken out of the basket.

The one at the head pointed to one of the smaller boxes and said to the other guy, "You go and tidy up that one." “

The young man opened the lid and saw the medicinal herbs inside, muttering, "There are so many centipedes on the ground, it's enough to fill a box." “

I looked at it and saw a basket full of medicinal materials, but it was not the paving centipede he thought, so I couldn't help but say right: "You admit it wrong, this is Shujin grass, it looks very similar to the paving centipede, but it is actually two kinds of medicinal materials." "As you just said, there has been a lot of rain this year, so the stewards should have brought in so much soothing grass to treat patients with rheumatism and paralysis." "Used in rheumatism. The effect of the soothing grass is much better. “

I said a few words unhurriedly, and several people beside me who were immersed in the medicinal materials raised their heads and looked at me stunned, and the one at the head glanced at the young man and said, "Did you hear what he said clearly?" Don't mistake it next time. “

The young man looked at me very unhappily, and stood up to see that I was in rags. The tone was very unkind, and he opened his mouth at me: "Who are you?" Come to the storeroom, I haven't seen you before. ”

"Where are you from?"

After listening to a few words, Jia Laoliu, who was beside him, suddenly lit up in front of him, and said to the young man in a loud voice: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this person was brought by me, we still have something to do, let's leave immediately, just go." “

He took me out of the backyard of the pharmacy with a puff of smoke, and went to the shade of the tree at the door, where Lu Daduan was already yawning.

I saw me going out with Jia Lao Liu. There was no one from the pharmacy behind him, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face, and he came up to greet us and said, "What's the matter, Sixth Brother, can't you find it alone?" “

Jia Lao Liu didn't care about answering his words. His eyes stared at me and said, "I know you need silver, so I'll talk to you about the conditions" "If you can stay up all night and sort out the medicinal materials for the herb boss, I'll pay you more silver, what do you think?" “

Good guys, it turns out that this wishful thinking was played!

He's going to treat me like two people. I knew that the herb merchant must have given me a few artificial money, and now that he saw that I could indeed recognize the herbs, he used his brain.

I was silent, and I thought about it in my heart before I agreed. "It's going to double the price of labor." I was sure in my heart that the other party would give him at least three or four artificial prices.

Jia Lao Liu's agreed without saying a word.

The parties agreed. He walked in front with the surname Lu and took me to the warehouse on the outskirts of the town where medicinal herbs were stacked to see the medicine, and the two of them continued to talk in front of me.

I followed them to the outskirts of town as I had come. "Why didn't you get a guy from the pharmacy?" The surnamed Lu complained, "I didn't plan it when I went." Ask the steward directly? "Alas, they have just entered a batch of medicinal herbs, and they can't rush to work." Jia Laoliu paused, turned his head and glanced at me who was following behind him, "You don't have to follow so tightly, you can't lose it." ”

Hearing this, I immediately understood and stopped in place, and this time I followed again, and it was a big distance.

They probably have a few words that they don't want me to hear.

"I was going to find a guy from the pharmacy to test him."

I couldn't help but smile when I heard the voice from afar, no wonder he went to the front yard to find the steward.

"The manager of the pharmacy is not easy to talk to, so he asked him if he could borrow it."

"I didn't expect it, when I went back to the backyard, this kid saw the person who sent the medicinal herbs, and pointed out that the names of the medicinal herbs were wrong."

After hearing this, the surnamed Lu turned to look at me with a surprised expression on his face.

I could see their conversations and reactions, but my eyes turned to the shop on the street.

A few cold steamed buns last night, and now I see the steamed buns exuding heat on the stove in front of the store on the street, just one word, hungry!

After walking a long way, Jia Lao Liu looked back and saw that I was still looking at the big stove in the bun shop, and cursed in his mouth, but the contractor surnamed Lu came back first, stood next to the stove, and paid for several steamed buns.

With a smile on his face, he handed it to the two of them and said, "Eat first, you will have the strength to work when you are full." “

I quickly thanked him and took it.

When I took a bite, it was filled with shiitake mushrooms, it was delicious and juicy, and I quickly finished it.

I followed them briskly to the door of a house on the outskirts of town, where the tall courtyard wall enclosed the house, and I could not see the scene inside.

Jia Lao Liu took me around to the side door: "This is it, I'll knock on the door in a while, and the herb shopkeeper asked me to temporarily borrow a room to stack medicinal herbs, and others sleep in the inn." “
