Chapter 25: Toad Grass

Dongfeng District Medicinal Materials Market is located in the suburbs of the outer ring, with a large area, because they are all idle stalls, so only a few rows of simple color steel plate houses have been built.

Song Jinbao walked in front, Liu Jie was half a step behind, and the two walked side by side.

Song Jinbao pointed to the rows of medicine stalls that were about half a kilometer long near the gate, and introduced in a low voice: "These are mobile medicine farmers, there are few real goods and many fake goods. Those who rented sheds inside were local medicine farmers who lived nearby, and usually made a living by collecting and selling medicines. ”

Liu Jie nodded, and followed Song Jinbao slowly and leisurely from stall to stall, all the way to the color steel plate room inside.

Liu Jie is not worried that he will buy fake medicinal materials, as a cultivator, and has been studying Chinese medicine for many years, he is very sensitive to the aura of medicinal materials, and ordinary medicinal materials often only need to look at it to distinguish the real and false and the year.

Song Jinbao looked at the bits and pieces of medicinal herbs on the stalls on both sides and asked, "Doctor Liu, what kind of medicinal herbs do we all need to buy?"

In addition to Fan Xuezhi, who can buy medicinal materials by himself, Liu Jie now nominally has two prescriptions on hand.

One prescription is to treat Director Bai's back pain, and the other prescription is to prepare ointment for Zhou Yao to clean and treat bad breath every day.

Although Liu Jie originally planned to get a sum of money, which could refine the pill of cleansing the marrow and help in cultivation, as the saying goes, take people's money and people to eliminate disasters.

Liu Jie thought about waiting for the pill to be ready, so he simply gave them one by one, although it could not achieve the effect of prolonging life, but it was still very helpful for improving immunity.

After roughly estimating the medicinal materials that he would use in preparing the elixir, Liu Jie replied: "Leg disease and back pain are both bone problems, and you need hundreds of years of He Shou Wu and ginseng as the main two herbs, and your cousin's problem needs to add an extra taste of wild Ganoderma lucidum to remove the roots." As long as you can buy these three main herbs and other dispensing medicines, you can buy them in ordinary pharmacies. ”

Song Jinbao smacked his tongue secretly when he heard it, no wonder Liu Jie offered such a high price, not to mention wild Ganoderma lucidum, just this hundred-year-old He Shou Wu is a treasure that can not be found, not to mention adding wild ginseng.

This amount of money for dispensing medicine is really not much.

Liu Jie deliberately added: "Fourth brother, I asked him to buy medicinal materials by himself, his leg disease is relatively difficult to treat, and the amount of medicinal materials is large, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy all of them." ”

Song Jinbao nodded again and again, and agreed: "Yes, the fourth brother can have more roads, if we can't buy all here, go back and let him help find it together." ”

As Song Jinbao said, the medicinal herb market in Dongfeng District is full of stalls selling idle medicinal herbs.

There are everything sold on the stalls, real and fake drugs are mixed together, those who know the goods can barely distinguish and pick them out, and those who don't know the goods are all flickering with the stall owner's clever mouth.

Liu Jie followed Song Jinbao along the outside stall and walked slowly inside, and when he was halfway through, he still found nothing.

Song Jinbao was afraid that Liu Jie would be in a hurry, so he persuaded in disguise: "This purchase of medicinal materials is all about luck, after all, the stalls here are all ordinary medicine farmers, and the one who can really get good goods has to be the other side of Xiangyang District." If it really doesn't work here, let's go to the market in Xiangyang District again. ”

Liu Jie really wasn't in a hurry, after all, there were too few wild medicinal materials in this era, let alone hundreds of years of treasures.

However, seeing that although Song Jinbao said that good medicinal materials still had to go to Xiangyang District, he was pulling himself carefully from stall to stall in Dongfeng District, for fear of missing any good goods, Liu Jie couldn't help but ask: "Then why didn't you take me to Xiangyang District at the beginning?"

Song Jinbao raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with a sneer: "Alas, I won't tell you that although there are good goods in the medicinal materials market in Xiangyang District, there are good goods, but there is really no way to buy things." In the past, I might have called a friend and might have gotten some good goods, but now 。。。。。。 ”

Liu Jie understood as soon as he heard it, the treasures in the medicinal materials market were also monopolized, and good goods could not be circulated on the market at all.

Song Jinbao said with some embarrassment: "Doctor Liu, otherwise, let's take a look, there are occasional good goods here in Dongfeng District, true things." ”

Liu Jie nodded, Song Jinbao used to be a rich second generation, somewhat of a way, he is now just an ordinary intern Chinese medicine practitioner, with no background and no door, except for trying his luck here, there is no other good way to think of it.

Liu Jie pondered, it really didn't work, so he returned the money and asked Director Bai and Zhou Yao to buy medicinal materials by themselves, anyway, whether he bought it himself or let them buy it, in the end, it was for him to use for alchemy.

Seeing that the stall of the color board house was about to come to an end, someone suddenly quarreled in front.

Song Jinbao is a good thing, and when he saw that there was a bustle, he hurriedly pulled Liu Jie forward to see the bustle.

When I got closer, I saw a little girl who was very eye-catching in the crowd, and the same stall owner with red ears on her face argued with reason.

It is now the late autumn season, and everyone in the market is dressed in heavy clothes, and some even put on cotton clothes early, but the little girl is only wearing a set of washed white summer school uniforms, and her arms and legs are all exposed.

The little girl shouted to the stall owner, "This is really toad grass! My medical book at home says that it is exactly the same, it can cure colds and chronic enteritis, and it can also cure cough and bronchitis, it is a good thing!"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, probably impatient with being entangled, and waved his hand like a fly: "Toad grass is still there! How rare the toad grass is, you don't know how rare it is? And that thing grows in the south, we are here in the north, where does the toad grass come from? Go quickly! Sell where you like, I won't accept it here anyway!"

The little girl bit her lip desperately, tears rolled in her eyes, and shouted aggrievedly and angrily: "This is really a toad grass, why don't you believe it!"

The stall owner was completely impatient, turned his head and went into the shed, and no longer bothered the little girl.

The little girl stared, and the tears could not be held back any longer, and they slid down her cheeks, looking very pitiful.

Someone on the side persuaded him: "Oh, it's okay, little girl, don't cry." If he doesn't buy it, you can go to another house and go around, there are so many stalls, maybe someone will be willing to buy it?"

The little girl muttered, "I've asked all of them, this is the last stall to collect medicine." ”

When everyone heard this, no one refused to accept it, so this herb is really not toad grass.

After all, the vendors in the market are all old medicine farmers, and they refuse to accept any herbs if they have never seen them, and this medicinal herb must be a fake.

The little girl stood and refused to leave, and the onlookers were gossiping.

Song Jinbao listened to it, and couldn't help but say to Liu Jie: "This herbal medicine is similar to each other, and the little girl herself misidentified it." ”

Liu Jie shook his head and said firmly: "No, she is right, this is indeed a wild toad grass." ”
