Chapter 104: Secret Medicine
"Dingdong, you have accepted the task 'Drug Purchase Request'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Task Name: Drug Purchase Entrustment;
Description: Help the old servant surnamed Wei go to the pharmacy in Yecheng to buy 'Chongyang Dampness Dissipation';
Mission conditions: If you don't help the old servant buy the designated medicine, or if the matter is discovered by Feng Xu, the mission will fail;
Reward: None. ”
Wei Tong carefully looked at the introduction of the task, and there was one thing that he didn't understand very much, that is, why he couldn't let Feng Xu know about it. It is said that this old servant spends his own money to buy medicine for himself, and it does not affect his work and does not take advantage of him. Could it be that there is something strange about this medicine, or is there anything else that needs to be guarded against by this seemingly lame old man?
Thinking about it and thinking about it, Wei Tong had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, and the task was also accepted, just to complete it, but the task did not have a little reward, which really made Wei Tong a little disappointed. In the past, there was a question mark in the reward column of this kind of task, but now it is good, and the word "none" is clearly written, which makes Wei Tong's heart cold.
Then Wei Tong went to the street to buy vegetables, looking at Feng Xu's list and bargaining without mentioning it. After buying the ingredients for the last meal, Wei Tong turned down the street and drilled back and forth in the alley for a long time in the direction pointed out by passers-by, only then did he see a tattered old cloth banner hanging on a small door at the innermost end of a dead end, with the word "medicine" written on it, and the font was so simple that Wei Tong almost didn't recognize it.
Slowly walking through the small door, Wei Tong smelled a faint fragrance that was exactly the same as on the note. After carefully distinguishing it, Wei Tong judged that the smell should have emanated from the words on the cloth flag. It seems that this method of carrying incense in words should be the unique secret of the store, otherwise you can't use the hasty way of writing a small note to sell your own exclusive elixir.
Wei Tong walked to the door, saw that the door was hidden, through the crack in the door, you could see a goatee Lang Zhong was behind the counter, doing work in his hands, the sound of grinding medicinal stones echoed in the entire dim pharmacy, standing outside the door, Wei Tong could smell the special smell of Chinese medicine, bitter and strange.
Knocked lightly on the wooden door, the wooden door was very thick, and the old and dark gray façade had countless cracks, giving people a feeling of ravines and ravines. The sound of knocking on the door was not loud, but in this pharmacy, which was originally silent and only the medicine grinder echoed, Wei Tong's knocking sound was still so clear, and it was heard clearly inside and outside the door.
But the Lang Zhong inside didn't seem to be moving, and his hand was still pushing the medicine back and forth, without the slightest reaction.
Wei Tong knocked again, but he still didn't move. Could it be that the boss is old, and he can't stand sleepy while working, so he falls asleep standing there? Wei Tong decided to knock again, this time with a little bit of effort......
"Don't knock." As soon as Wei Tong raised his hand, Lang Zhong inside suddenly spoke, "Isn't it okay to see someone pushing the door inside?" Knocking on the door means enough, knocking twice and ignoring you, are you still going to knock? Elm head, now the offspring, the erector can't be taught, and ......"
Lang Zhong stopped Wei Tong from knocking again, and muttered dissatisfaction for a long time.
I knocked on the door to respect you, but you are not satisfied? Lang Zhong's strange logic made Wei Tong cry and laugh a little, and immediately pushed open the door and strode in. The front hall of the pharmacy is not big, and from the door to the front of the counter, Wei Tong has taken three big steps together.
"Grab the herbs or buy the finished medicine powder?" Lang Zhong asked without raising his head, not taking Wei Tong's customer in his eyes at all, and the mill in his hand never stopped.
"Buy the finished product." Wei Tong replied.
"Which medicine of the finished product. You're talking about it all at once, and I'll ask you a question, aren't you tired? Lang Zhong was very impatient, but he still didn't raise his head to look at Wei Tong, and he didn't even give a complaining look.
"I want Chongyang to dispel dampness." Wei Tong also had no way to take this weird-tempered Langzhong, just answer whatever he should answer.
Hearing the name Chongyang Dispelling Dampness, Lang Zhong seemed to have some interest, and finally looked up at Wei Tong, but after a glance, he lowered his head again, and continued to grind the medicinal herbs that had been crushed into a pile of powder.
"Did you bring anything?"
Wei Tong reacted for a moment, knowing that what he said should be the note, so he took out the note that Lao Wei gave him.
Lang Zhong took the note, opened it without looking at it, leaned under his nose and sniffed it, and immediately nodded.
"I didn't expect you to really be able to get the credentials, I thought you were here to cheat the medicine......"
Wei Tong ignored Lang Zhong's cold humor: "How much is the medicine?" ”
Lang Zhong was obviously very dissatisfied with Wei Tong's "incomprehensible style", blew his beard, and then opened his two palms
"10 gold."
"What? How can it be so expensive? Wei Tong was really taken aback by this offer. 10 gold for a pill? Although it is a unique secret medicine, it is just a rheumatism, and it is not something else, how can it cost so much money?
"Expensive, huh? I'm sorry, I really didn't blame you for this, just this medicine, you really can't buy a second one in the world. I think that since you can get this credential, you must not be unaware of the value of this medicine, right? ”
……
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Tong walked out of the pharmacy indignantly. I quarreled with the goatee for a long time, and finally the goatee was sold at a price of 9 gold and 90 silver in desperation. In the end, the reason for the quarrel was not the price of 10 silver, but for a breath.
"Dead old man, I must think that I didn't answer his cold joke of dying, and deliberately make things difficult for me......" Wei Tong muttered, and was about to return the same way, handing over the medicine and ingredients to Lao Wei, and was walking to the entrance of the market.
Wei Tong glanced at his eyes but saw a very familiar person, and thought about it for a while, it seemed that it was the stinky little beggar he met when he was doing a task in Zhang's Mansion before, and he got his first disguise technique from there.
The little beggar is not an honest person, he steals chickens and dogs all day long, and he almost stole Wei Tong's money bag last time. When Wei Tong saw him this time, he suddenly became interested, his eyes pretended not to pay attention, but he actually kept looking at him secretly to see which person this kid was going to find today.
The little beggar was asking for food while walking through the cracks of the people, and his eyes were also very dishonest and glancing around, Wei Tong just kept looking at him, looking at it and suddenly feeling that it was getting more and more difficult......
"He's leaning behind me!" Wei Tong was suddenly shocked, and he was extremely vigilant, not knowing what this kid was going to do.
