Out of the hospital, it is the main road of Gusu City, Ganjiang Road.

At this time, it was almost September, and the weather was still very hot and humid for Gusu City, and the air smelled of damp asphalt roads.

Song Jian stretched out his hand, hailed a taxi, and came to a Tongrentang pharmacy.

In Huaxia, the most famous pharmaceutical chain brand is Tongrentang in Beijing.

"There is Tongrentang in the north and Qingyutang in the south," this sentence has been inherited since the Qing Dynasty, but now it is a little inappropriate. Today's Tongrentang, the brand effect has long spread throughout China, and Qingyutang, due to poor management, only has a louder reputation in Hangzhou.

Tong Ren Tang's medicine is expensive, but it is true.

When I got out of the car, there was a burst of medicinal fragrance wafting in the distance.

Song Jian took a deep breath, smelling this familiar smell, and felt relaxed.

This Tongrentang pharmacy is very large, divided into the front hall and the backyard, the front hall is very clean, a long square cabinet, the person who takes the medicine and the medicine cabinet are separated, and the back of the cabinet is the medicine cabinet with mahogany gold characters, the dense medicine bucket is neatly arranged, and the golden square text is marked on the medicine bucket, which is very bright.

From time to time, there was a sound of banging in the backyard, and I thought it should be a place to process concocted medicinal materials.

Song Jian walked to the counter and handed over his prescription.

A young male herbacist in a white coat took the prescription and looked at it, frowned, and said, "Such a large amount? ”

Song Jian said a simple "um" and said, "It's for bathing." ”

"Oh, Chinese medicine bath, I'll help you make powder later." This pharmacist is quite enthusiastic.

Song Jian nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Song Jian's recipe is indeed very large, each flavor of medicinal materials is more than 200 grams, fortunately, it is Tong Ren Tang, and when I go to other pharmacies, it is estimated that the storage capacity of medicinal materials is not enough.

After weighing the Chinese medicine on a tray, it is placed on the counter first.

Song Jian's eyes glanced at these medicinal materials, and secretly sighed in his heart, the quality of the current medicinal materials is really poor, although they are much bigger, but the medicinal effect is far worse than the Song Dynasty period in which he lived. Song Jian understood in his heart that this was also a side effect of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

"Four hundred grams of atractylodes," the young pharmacist said as he poured a pile of herbs onto a large square piece of straw paper, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and turned to grab the next herb.

Song Jian frowned and said, "What I want is Baizhu, how can you give me Cangzhu?" ”

Atractylodes and Atractylodes have the same effect, both can treat spleen and stomach diseases, and the appearance of the two herbs is also very similar, and generally unfamiliar pharmacists can't distinguish at all.

"Huh?" The pharmacist turned around, glanced at Song Jian suspiciously, then looked at the medicinal materials on the table, and said, "That's right, what I gave you is Baizhu." ”

Song Jian's fingers flicked the pile of medicinal materials slightly, and said, "This is Atractylodes." ”

"How is that possible? Could it be that I just prescribed the wrong medicine bucket? The young pharmacist said, opened the medicine bucket with the word "Baizhu" written on it again, looked inside, and then took out two pieces of medicinal herbs from it, and said with a smug face: "Look, I didn't take it wrong, this is Baizhu." I've always been very serious about my work, how could I go wrong? ”

Song Jian said seriously: "Little brother, what I want is Atractylodes, what you give me is Atractylodes, I think it was when your medicine bucket was filled with the wrong medicine, after all, the 'Atractylodes' medicine bucket and the 'Atractylodes' medicine bucket are next to each other." ”

"How is that possible!" This time, the young pharmacist was a little impatient, "If you want atractylodes, I will give you atractylodes, this is atractylodes, are you pharmacists or am I pharmacists?" ”

Song Jian was just about to speak, when an old man came out of the back door.

The old man was wearing a white coat, but the white coat was stained everywhere, and he didn't know what he was fiddling with.

"What's going on? Xiao Zhang, you should treat your guests with a proper attitude. The old man came over and first criticized the young pharmacist, Xiao Zhang.

"Yes, I'm sorry Master, I'm sorry for this friend, but I'm sure I'm not mistaken, this is indeed Baizhu." Although Xiao Zhang apologized to Song Jian, he still felt aggrieved and felt that he was right.

"Huh?" The old man glanced at the medicinal herbs on the counter, his face changed slightly, he picked up a piece of medicinal herbs on the table, smelled it, and then walked to the medicine bucket with "Baizhu" written on it, opened the drawer, and sniffed it again.

"What's going on!" The old man jumped up all of a sudden, glared, looked at Xiao Zhang, and asked loudly.

"How...... What's wrong, Master? It was the first time Xiao Zhang saw his master so angry.

"What's wrong? Why is the medicinal herb contained in the medicine bucket of 'Atractylodes' Atractylodes atractylodes! Who pretended this! Call him here! "The old man is really on fire, although he is kind, but he can't see the apprentices making mistakes in medicinal materials.

"Master, yes...... I'm pretending, I'm ...... How could it be wrong? Xiao Zhang almost shed tears, he was in his twenties, he had just graduated, and he was yelled at by the old man, and he immediately felt extremely frightened.

Song Jian sighed and said, "Old man, it is inevitable for young people to make mistakes, don't scare him." ”

Only then did the old man think of Song Jian on the side, and hurriedly laughed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, fortunately, young man, you know medicinal materials, otherwise...... Hey, although the matter is small, but the medicinal materials are related to the health and life of the patient, and every small mistake may cause a big disaster. ”

"That's what the old man said," Song Jian replied.

The old man looked at Xiao Zhang and said, "Hurry up and grab the medicine, after you grab the medicine, quickly re-check the entire medicine bucket for me to see if there are any mistakes." I've been following me for three months, and I can't even tell the difference between atractylodes and atractylodes, so I'm so angry. ”

"Yes, yes, Master," Xiao Zhang hurriedly lowered his head to do something.

The old man had a little curiosity about Song Jian, these days, there are not many people who can distinguish between Baizhu and Atractylodes at a young age, even those high-achieving students who have graduated from traditional Chinese medicine, they may not be able to know a few medicinal materials.

"Are you proficient in Chinese medicine?" The old man asked, using the word "proficient".

Song Jian smiled slightly, but did not answer, he just wanted to hurry up and take the medicine and go home for treatment.

"If the medicine is good, I will help you make it into powder, and in addition, I will wrap this half catty of sulfur for you." Xiao Zhang whispered to Song Jiandao.

"I have a heart." Song Jian nodded in thanks.

Xiao Zhang took those medicinal herbs to make powder, and with a "squeak", the glass door in front of the hall was pushed open again, and a man with a thin face who looked like a migrant worker walked in.

The man's face was very dark, and there was dodging in his eyes, and Song Jian glanced at it, and already knew that this person must be used to fraud. Although Song Jian didn't know much about physiognomy, in modern times, he was much stronger than those linen heirs.

"Ginseng, do you accept it?" The man walked up to the old man and asked in a low voice, with a thick northeastern accent.

The old man was also a good person, and he could see at a glance that this person was not a good person, but he still nodded and said, "Of course, but we only accept real ginseng." ”

"Big brother, you're joking, of course it's real ginseng, I found it in a mountain in the northeast of us the day before I came here to work," the middle-aged man said as he took out a cardboard box from his bosom and opened it to reveal a delicate little ginseng.

The old man squinted, looked at it, and said in his heart: Grandma, I didn't expect the liar to deceive me Zhou Wenyi, when I worked in the Drug Administration Department of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, you didn't marry a daughter-in-law yet.

Just stared at the mountain ginseng twice, Zhou Wenyi's expression was already solemn, this ginseng turned out to be real.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get something in the backyard." Zhou Wenyi glanced at the ginseng again, and then hurriedly walked into the backyard.

Song Jian's eyes swept over the ginseng, first frowned, then shook his head, lowered his head and said no more.

Not long after, Zhou Wenyi walked out, holding a magnifying glass and a small test tube in his hand, which contained some liquid.

After carefully observing the ginseng under a magnifying glass, Zhou Wenyi said, "Brother, can you let me take a little bit of ginseng whiskers, don't worry, it's very small." ”

The migrant worker nodded innocently and said, "Big brother, you are free, I just want you to check whether this is ginseng or not." In that lump, I found five. ”

"Five!" Zhou Wenyi took a deep breath, then put a small section of ginseng whiskers into the test tube, shook it a few times, and soon, the liquid in the test tube turned blue.

"It's true!" Zhou Wenyi shouted in his heart, "And looking at this color, it is obvious that the content of ginsenosides is very high, and judging by the appearance of this ginseng, this is indeed not an artificially cultivated ginseng, but a real old ginseng." ”

After judging these, Zhou Wenyi put away the look of surprise on his face, looked at the migrant worker, and said, "You ginseng, two thousand sticks, I want it, if the price is high, I won't accept it." ”

Zhou Wenyi is still kind, although the price of old ginseng can be fried to more than 100,000 sticks, but for ordinary patients, they will choose artificially planted ginseng to treat diseases, after all, artificially planted ginseng, a few hundred yuan can buy a catty, although the efficacy is lower, but the treatment is still effective. Therefore, the more important value of mountain ginseng lies in the collection.

"So much, then...... Then I'll go back immediately, take the remaining four, and sell them to you, big brother! I thought I could only sell it for 200 yuan. The man's face was full of excitement.

Zhou Wenyi took out 2,000 yuan, gave it to the migrant worker, and said, "You go and get the rest, I'll wait for you here." ”

The man went away rejoicing.

Zhou Wenyi gently stroked this ginseng, with an excited look on his face, a real ginseng can really bring the dead back to life and continue life, and the ginseng planted now does not have such a great effect at all.

At this time, Xiao Zhang walked out with a black bag, and after the medicinal herbs were powdered, the volume would become very small.

"It's a total of 7,362 yuan," Xiao Zhang said, there were several valuable medicinal materials in it, such as notoginseng powder and pangolins, which were very valuable, and the price was already very fair.

"Just give seven thousand, just now, thank you young man, otherwise the medicinal materials are misplaced, and I don't know." As soon as Zhou Wen opened his mouth, he still had a good impression of Song Jian.

Song Jian is not hypocritical, it is best to save a little, after all, he is too short of money now.

After mentioning the black pocket and thinking about it, Song Jian still pointed to the old ginseng and said, "Old man, be careful of the water." "In ancient times, walking water meant fire, but in the industry of traditional Chinese medicine, it means playing with fire. Song Jian reminded Zhou Wenyi not to look away.

Zhou Wenyi smiled confidently and said, "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me." ”

Song Jian knew that Zhou Wenyi didn't listen, so he didn't say much, carrying five kilograms of medicinal materials, and walked out of Tongrentang with difficulty.
