Chapter 448: Stubborn Old Man 1
Zhang Jingyi was also anxious at this time, she thought about it and said bluntly, "Old Chinese medicine, that's the case, in addition to wanting you to help see a doctor this time, we still have something very important to ask you for help, and there is really no intention to deceive you." ”
Maybe it was Zhang Jingyi's beautiful and moving, and the touching posture of Chu Chu when pleading moved the old Chinese medicine doctor, or maybe it was Zhang Jingyi's words that made the old Chinese medicine doctor curious, he glanced at the two of them, and then said lightly, "What can I do to help you?" ”
Seeing the old Chinese medicine doctor asking aloud, Zhang Jingyi glanced at Xiao Qiang with some apprehension, as if asking him if he wanted to tell the matter directly. Xiao Qiang hesitated for a while but nodded, he could see that after living in the mountains and communicating with people for a long time, his personality may become more and more withdrawn, and his vigilance against outsiders will be heavier.
"Old Chinese medicine doctor, this is the ......," Zhang Jingyi said cautiously, "We run a cosmetics company, and our company's main product is Chinese herbal masks, but because the core formula is in the hands of other companies, there are some conflicts and the formula is lost. I've heard that you're very successful in treating scars, so could you please give us these formulas so that we can refine them to create a new mask? Of course, you are still the owner of this recipe, and we will give you a cut according to the sales volume we will produce, so that we can achieve a win-win situation. ”
After listening to Zhang Jingyi's words, the old Chinese medicine doctor frowned almost without thinking and said, "I am a wild man in the mountains, relying on the mountains and water, what do you want money for?" I'm not interested, you find someone else! ”
Such a resolute refusal was indeed a bit unexpected for Zhang Jingyi, and she was a little unwilling to say, "Old Chinese medicine, you are old, your living environment should always be improved, right?" If you want to cure diseases and save people, you must have good medical equipment, even Chinese herbal medicine, right? All this money can be provided for your ......"
"I said I'm not interested! Little girl, even if you wear out your mouth, I won't be tempted! The old Chinese medicine doctor stubbornly said in a desperate voice, "My formula is all passed down from my ancestors, you are an outsider, how can I give you the formula?" I repeat, money is a pile of waste paper to the old man, I want to make money, why stay in this deep mountain and old forest? ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor refused very decisively again, and indeed he was not wrong, with his medical skills, if he really likes money, as long as he goes down the mountain to treat and see a doctor, he can earn a lot of wealth, so why sell the formula of his ancestors?
Zhang Jingyi didn't want to give up and wanted to speak, but the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't look at him this time, and walked directly into the thatched house, ignoring the two of them anymore, and directly treating them as air.
Xiao Qiang...... This, what can I do......" Zhang Jingyi was really anxious, but seeing the firm look of the old Chinese medicine doctor's veto, she also knew that it was very difficult to make him change his mind. The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she almost cried.
Xiao Qiang sighed and comforted, "Jingyi, let's not worry, since we have found the old Chinese medicine doctor, it means that there is still hope." The old Chinese medicine doctor is used to living alone in the mountains, and his temper and personality are a little withdrawn, which is normal, and besides, we are really not familiar with him, and it is impossible for anyone to take out the formula as soon as we meet, right? Or...... Let's think of other ways to talk to him when we get a chance? ”
Zhang Jingyi pursed her lips and nodded, for now, I am afraid that I can only continue to find a way to wait. Her beautiful eyes once again showed a determined look and said, "No matter what, I must let the old Chinese medicine doctor give me the formula, otherwise I won't go down the mountain!" ”
Xiao Qiang smiled a little helplessly, "Jingyi, we want a tent now, we want a sleeping bag without a sleeping bag, I see that the old Chinese medicine doctor doesn't want to see us, and the thatched hut will definitely not give us sleep, the night in this mountain is unbearable." ”
"We can build a big fire and hug each other against the thatched hut to keep warm, and we should be able to get through it." Zhang Jingyi blushed and gritted her teeth, "No matter what, I won't return in vain!" I can't see Melinda's company ruined in my hands! ”
Xiao Qiang coughed twice in embarrassment, although he knew that Zhang Jingyi was doing useless work like this, but her attitude was very resolute, and she wanted to move the old Chinese medicine doctor with perseverance.
Since the two of them had made up their minds not to leave, they quickly began to make preparations. The thatched house belongs to the old Chinese medicine doctor, but this Jigong Mountain does not belong to him, in the woods by the lakeside flowers, Xiao Qiang found a large pile of firewood, planning to raise a bonfire at night to keep out the cold. And Zhang Jingyi was not idle, she began to collect hay and spread it next to the fire, and built a roof with wooden shelves and rags next to the thatched house, barely building a simple nest.
As night gradually fell, Xiao Qiang walked out of the woods next to him, and he already had two or three fat pheasants in his hands. As in the valley, it was brewed in the same way, and soon the characteristic fragrance wafted around the fire.
"It's a pity that there are no vegetables in the mountains, and if we always eat meat and don't supplement vitamins, we will have problems with our health." Xiao Qiang said while grilling pheasants, "I'll go back and pick some mushrooms in the woods, but unfortunately there are no pots and pans here, or you can cook soup and drink." ”
"I still have some vitamin-supplemented energy bars in my backpack, so I'll figure it out when I'm done." Zhang Jingyi sighed lightly, and said in a not very good mood, "I don't know if there is any way to make the old Chinese medicine doctor change his mind, Melinda's company relies on formulas to survive, and the Zhang family is also ......"
Xiao Qiang didn't reply, of course he knew what the formula meant, not only Melinda Company, in fact, the Zhang family in Ninghai City relied on Melinda Company to continue to maintain, once the company collapsed, so many clansmen in the Zhang family would have no interests, I am afraid that it would not be long before the tree fell apart. The Zhang family originally had little to do with him, but he didn't want the Zhang family to collapse, after all, there was a heaven and earth spirit treasure in the Zhang family, and he naturally didn't want to lose it before he got it.
"Crunch......" Just as Xiao Qiang was thinking, the wooden door of the thatched house suddenly opened, and the old Chinese medicine doctor walked out with a red face, apparently drinking a lot of wine. He held a broken porcelain bowl in one hand and a broken wine jug in the other, and came to the two of them with a wine burp, took a deep breath and sniffed it before enjoying it, "Yes, the old man has been in the mountains for more than 20 years, and he has not smelled such a fragrant roast chicken for a long time." Xiaoyou, how about I exchange wine for chicken with you? ”
Xiao Qiang thought to himself, you old guy, you still ignored our storage in the front, and now when you smell the aroma of barbecue, you run out to get a piece of the pie, and you exchange wine for chicken, who wants to drink your wine made from wild fruits! It's realistic enough to be a human being.
Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, after all, he had a request for others, even if he was not satisfied, he could only smile and say, "Old Chinese medicine, you don't need to exchange wine, there are three pheasants here, and I will give you one." ”
"That's not good, I've never been favored by others, either change the wine, or I won't eat!" The old Chinese medicine doctor blew his beard and stared at him, and he looked like he was not being eaten, which seemed to be quite principled.
"Okay, since the old Chinese medicine doctor is Gao Feng Liangjie, I don't drink alcohol, this wine is free to change, if you really want to change, just exchange it for the secret recipe for treating scars." Xiao Qiang's words were obviously deliberately ridiculing, of course he knew that it was impossible to make the old Chinese medicine doctor obey with just a few pieces of chicken.
