Chapter 50: Sales Pitch (1)

Five or six days later, Xiao Zheng arrived in Lizhuang and was about to go to Yushan County with Xiao Hai, and when he went out, Xiao Zheng was suddenly surprised to find that Xiao Hai had led two horses out! Xiao Hai smiled when he saw Xiao Zheng's expression: "Brother Xiao, isn't it thanks to you that I have made some money, brother, I usually like to ride horses after staying in the army for a long time." Now I have some money on hand, and I can't afford to buy this thousand-mile good brother, but I can still buy two ordinary horses to ride, and I will give you this one, and I will ride the other one." Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't, Brother Xiao, I got your mind, I can raise cattle here, but I'm really a layman when I ride a horse and raise a horse, and I can just ride it if I have something to do in the future." When Xiao Hai saw him say this, he didn't say anything more knowing his temper.

On the way to Yushan County, Xiao Hai slowly taught Xiao Zheng how to ride a horse and ride a horse, and arrived at Yushan County in less than an hour. After getting off the horse from Zhou Bingrui's house, Xiao Zheng rubbed his painful thighs, feeling that his internal organs were turned upside down, seeing him like this, Xiao Hai smiled and said that riding a horse should be practiced more, and it would take a long time to get used to it, but Xiao Zheng bared his teeth and said that he couldn't stand this crime.

When it was time for lunch at Zhou's house, Xiao Zheng and Zhou Bingrui said that their master had passed on a few prescriptions before he went to the immortal and died, and now he made two medicines according to the prescription, and wanted to go to Daxing City to find a pharmacy to sell on his behalf. After hearing this, Zhou Bingrui put down his chopsticks and said that his old uncle Bai Chuanli opened a pharmacy in Daxing City, and he had a total of three uncles, and this uncle also had only two daughters under his knees, and his nephew was like a child, and he was also the closest to him among several uncles.

It turned out that when his mother was alive, the two families often went back and forth, and after his mother died, his uncle was also older, and he was paralyzed at home for more than a year, although the two families did not come and go so frequently, but every New Year's holiday, Zhou Bingrui had to visit the old man. In the past, when he was paralyzed in bed, the old man also came to diagnose his pulse and treat the disease, and before he met Xiao Zheng, Zhou Bingrui went to Daxing City to see a doctor and found some famous doctors who were introduced by his maternal uncle. When the lively nephew appeared in front of the old man, the old man also called it impossible, and listened to Zhou Bingrui tell his uncle about Xiao Zheng's treatment for him, Mr. Bai called the master and apprentice a good doctor, if it weren't for the old age, the juniors would have run to Shenhe Bay to see the master and apprentice.

After listening to Xiao Zheng, he smiled and said that God helped me, Brother Zhou has this gentleman's relatives to save us a lot of heart, do not hesitate to go to Daxing City early tomorrow morning, the next morning three people and three horses galloped to Daxing City, walked for a long time and saw the Baqiao from afar, and waited for the Baqiao, Zhou Bingrui and Xiao Hai found that Xiao Zheng strangled the horse's head, jumped off the horse and stood on the bridge and did not leave. Xiao Zheng looked at the rippling river under the bridge, the willow branches on the riverside swaying gently, the catkins flying all over the sky in late spring, like goose feathers and heavy snow flying all over the sky, thinking that he had just come to Datang earlier last year, and now a year has passed in a hurry, and he stood on the bridge for a long time without saying a word.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Hai asked worriedly, and after breathing a sigh of relief, Xiao Zheng told him how he was rescued by the great monk Changjie on the bridge, how he went to his uncle's house and was kicked out of the house, and how he met his current teacher and the two of them.

After the three of them said a few words, they entered Daxing City, and when they entered the door, they generally entered the Mingde Gate, on a street in Anyifang, which is not finished from the East City, and saw a cloth banner hanging at the door, which read "Baiji Pharmacy", Zhou Bingrui saw that he said it, and got off the horse. Zhou Bingrui was about to take the two to the shop, but saw Xiao Zheng stop Zhou Bingrui, and when the three of them got together, Xiao Zheng whispered a few words to Xiao Hai.

Xiao Hai and Zhou Bingrui looked embarrassed and hesitated a little after hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said to him Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest. I saw Xiao Hai tear his clothes a few times and pull them loose, and then trotted all the way into Bai Ji Medicine.

When I entered the house, I saw an old man in his sixties with a thin face sitting in the hall, wearing a cardigan shirt, three locks of long beard fluttering on his chest, there was no patient in the store who was always reading a medical book in his hand, and he put down the medical book after seeing Xiao Hai rushing in.

After entering the door, Xiao Hai gave the old man a salute and said anxiously: "Sir, I rushed in from outside the city, and my father occasionally contracted a cold and wanted to grab a few medicines from Mr. to make scriptures for my father to relieve his father's pain." I saw that the old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Since you are sick, why don't you bring someone over to check the pulse and see a doctor?" Xiao Hai explained that he was not very sick, and the old man did not want to come. I saw that the old man nodded after listening, and asked Xiao Hai in detail about his father's condition, Xiao Hai himself was an honest person, and he was stumbled by the old man's question, which made Mr. Bai mistakenly think that he was a countryman who went to the city to recognize his stupid mouth, and he didn't think about it much, and after prescribing the medicine, he wrapped the medicine and handed it to Xiao Hai.

Xiao Hai blushed and had a thick neck, and he held back for a while before he whispered that he didn't bring money to see if he could pay it back in the future, and the guy on the side of the store stopped doing it after hearing it, pointing to Xiao Hai and saying that he didn't have money to see any medicine, and let Mr. bother to get so much medicine, only to see Mr. said disapprerovitously: "He gave up his face to buy medicine for his father, and I gave him this medicine for this filial piety."

"Mr. Bai's good character" and "Uncle" only saw Xiao Zheng and Zhou Bingrui enter the medicine hall while talking, Bai Chuanli was very happy to see his nephew coming, and hurriedly let the two of them sit down, and when Xiao Zheng gave Mr. Bai a ceremony, he made the matter clear, Mr. looked at Xiao Zheng with some annoyance and said: "You babies, the old man is also a little famous in this Anyifang area, why bother to test me if you have something?" When Xiao Hai heard this, he hid to the side and didn't dare to speak with a red face.

Before Xiao Zheng could reply, Zhou Bingrui, who understood his uncle's temper, grabbed the conversation and said that this was Mr. Xiao Xiao who had cured his back disease, and the old man's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he was no longer entangled in this matter, so he turned his head and grabbed Xiao Zheng and said: "The old man thought that the person who cured my nephew's disease must be a well-informed old gentleman, but he didn't expect that it was a hairy boy, which made the old man look away."

Xiao Zheng said with a smile that the old gentleman you said was a subordinate teacher, and Boss Zhou's illness was cured by my master and apprentice. Mr. Bai looked at Xiao Zheng carefully for a while and said: "Baby, it's not the old man who said you, your method has gone a little way, but the treatment can occasionally work wonders, but serious treatment still requires real skills." After listening to this, Xiao Zheng bowed deeply to the old man and said, "Thank you, old man, for your reminder, the immortal master often teaches the kid like this."

After finishing speaking, he took the unopened medicine bag in Xiao Hai's hand, first untied his belt and blindfolded himself, then opened the medicine bag on the table, and casually touched a medicine and said: "Ephedra, its nature is warm, the taste is pungent, slightly bitter, and it has the effect of sweating and dissipating cold, relieving asthma in the lungs, and reducing swelling." I grabbed it casually and said: "Windproof, spicy and sweet, slightly warm in nature, has the effect of dispelling wind, winning dampness and relieving pain, and relieving spasms." "This is tangerine peel", broke a piece and put it in his mouth and said: "Southern Gangzhou five-year tangerine peel, authentic medicinal materials, Mr. Bai opened a good prescription."

Seeing Xiao Zheng like this, Mr. Bai's eyes were a little straight, and the two guys in the pharmacy who had been grabbing medicine for a long time were also stunned, and the connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he stretched out his hand. After a while, Bai Chuanli sighed: "Baby, the old man is underestimating you after all, can you tell the old man about your master", Xiao Zheng said: "The first master is Li Wenbo, the former dynasty Luoyang County", Bai Chuanli's eyes lit up after hearing this name, and he eagerly asked Xiao Zheng and said: "Your master is Li Wenbo who opened a warehouse and released grain in the eleventh year of the great cause", after hearing Xiao Zheng's affirmative answer, Bai Chuanli sighed again, saying that Xiao Zheng's master opened a warehouse and became famous all over the world, and he wanted to visit after seeing his nephew last year, how could he not follow people's wishes, Your master is so righteous and full of the world, but now a few people remember.

After saying this, Mr. Bai said to Xiao Zheng again: "Baby, for the sake of your master's face, we are not to blame for your deception of the old man, let's talk about the purpose of your trip."

Xiao Zheng looked at Bai Chuanli and said with a smile: "Jiang is old and spicy, I can't hide your old age from any time", and after holding the old man for two sentences, he took out two small wooden boxes from the baggage he was carrying.
