Chapter 34: Rivalry

Bai Zhi's heart was depressed. This stinky girl is kind to others, but when she comes to him, she is as fierce as a little milk tiger without teeth. That's too discriminatory, isn't it? He didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for his bad attitude and Gu Ye, who believed in harmony and wealth, how could he target him?

Bai Qi, who was bending down to look at the medicinal herbs, suddenly focused on a piece of purified yellow essence. The common processing method of Polygonatum polygonatum on the market is to remove impurities, wash it, steam it for six hours, cut it into thin slices, and expose it to dry. However, there is only one person in the world who has created a new method of concocting it, and the medicinal effect of the net yellow essence is much higher. That person is the Medicine Saint.

And the piece of yellow essence in his hand is neither an ordinary concoction method, nor the handiwork of the medicine saint, but a technique that he has never heard of or seen. The appearance of this fast-purified yellow essence is black brown, shiny, dark brown in the center, soft texture, sweet taste, and excellent medicinal effect!

"Eldest son, the piece of yellow essence in your hand is stewed with rice wine in water, and after the wine is made, it can make it nourishing but not greasy, and it has the effect of channeling. Adding rice wine can remove the numbness in yellow essence, avoid stimulating the stomach, help the medicinal potential, and enhance the tonic effect.

Gu Ye saw that the beautiful young man in Tsing Yi had turned over and over the yellow essence and studied it for a long time, and kindly solved his doubts. Who told her to have a good impression of this gentle and beautiful young man, the one who wants to change into a blue dress, sorry, don't send it, please go!

"Uh...... If you make this unique secret method public, won't your family blame you? Bai Qi put down the medicinal herbs a little embarrassed, glanced around uneasily, and couldn't help but remind.

Gu Ye's favorability towards him rose to another level, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Everyone in the world knows the method of the Medicine Sage's 'Nine Steaming and Nine Systems', but who can successfully make the Yellow Essence of the Nine Systems?" As the saying goes, 'a small mistake is a thousand miles', and this is especially true of pharmaceuticals! How about it, eldest prince, do you want to have some of this yellow essence? ”

"This yellow essence, is it really made by you?" Bai Zhi turned it over and checked it, but she almost didn't take a bite to see if it was as this girl said, removing the numbness and not irritating.

"It's like a fake!" Gu Ye rolled his eyes at him, and then turned to the beautiful young man in Tsing Yi, "Eldest son, there are other medicinal herbs here, you can look at them casually." ”

"Little girl, you can't favor one over the other!" The head of the Zhao family next to him looked at the interesting little girl in front of him with a smile on his face, and there was a slight ridicule in his tone.

"Sir, whatever you need, just pick. I'll give you a 20% discount. Gu Ye was in one of the few pure medicine stalls, and he inquired about the price. It turns out that compared with crude drugs, the price difference between net drugs and crude drugs is several times or even more. Wouldn't the baskets of purified medicinal herbs she brought over sell for a lot of silver? Get rich! Gu Ye's heart was full of excitement, and the nature of the money fan was exposed.

Bai Qi selected among the baskets of medicinal materials, and the more he looked at the five or six pure medicines in it, the more familiar he felt. Although most of the herbs are prepared in the same way, each great pharmacist will have his own style.

If you want to say that the pharmacist with the highest reputation and the most obvious style in the world, Mr. Zheng, the medicine saint, deserves it. Although the Medicine Sage has disappeared for more than ten years, no one can surpass his medicine, and even the beloved disciples he carefully teaches are difficult to reach one out of ten of him.

All pharmacists are proud to be able to sell Yaosheng Pharmaceutical. And the medicine saint is narrow-minded by nature, and he takes pleasure in playing tricks on those medicine merchants who pursue him. I often make medicines, but I don't come forward in person, and find all kinds of people to send them to the medicine shop, and the price is higher than that of ordinary medicinal materials, and lower than that of top medicinal materials.

The shopkeepers of many pharmacies don't know Mount Tai, and push the Yaosheng Pharmaceutical sent up. The old man of the medicine saint jumped out again and sighed at others, which caused many medicine merchants to regret their bowels.

Most of the well-known pharmacies will work hard to study the characteristics of Yaosheng Pharmaceutical, and strictly order their juniors to study it carefully, and resolutely not miss any opportunity to cooperate with Yaosheng. The same is true for Jimin Hall.

More than 20 years ago, Jimintang was just a small pharmacy with no name, and it was precisely because of its familiarity with Yaosheng Pharmaceutical that it received a batch of medicinal materials made by Yaosheng himself at a low price, and gradually became famous. After 20 years of painstaking operation, Jimin Hall has spread to every corner of Dongling Kingdom, and has the capital to compete with the century-old Baicaotang.

Gu Ye's concoction technique was taught by the medicine saint by integrating the concoction theory in the materia medica. Naturally, it has a little bit of the characteristics of Yaosheng Pharmaceutical. The descendants of the Bai family, since they recognized medicine, have been familiar with the pharmaceutical methods of the medicine saint. How can these medicines escape Bai Qi's sharp eyes?

The quality of these medicines is good, but the techniques are still immature. The little girl said that she made it herself, and that, Thaksin! But he also believes that the little girl's pharmaceutical technique must be related to the medicine saint. The medicine saint's apprentice, Jiang Da Pharmacist, had never heard of accepting apprentices. And the general pharmacist will not accept female apprentices, except for the old man who has a detached temperament and is unruly and worldly......

Bai Qi glanced at the head of the Zhao family, and I believe he also saw the clue, otherwise he would not have deigned to waste so much time in front of a little girl in ordinary clothes. Bai Qi's pupils shrank slightly: No, I'd rather be mistaken, and I must not miss anything related to the Medicine Saint

"Little girl, I want this basket of medicinal herbs!" Almost at the same time, the Zhao family master and Bai Qi both reached out to the basket of pure medicine.

The smile on the face of the Zhao family master remained unchanged, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "The old man heard that the virtuous nephew is the most courteous, and the truth of respecting the old and respecting the virtuous, you should understand, right?" ”

"My nephew heard that the head of the Zhao family is the most caring and understanding of the juniors, and the strength of Baicaotang is strong and prosperous for a hundred years, I believe that the head of the Zhao family will not grab a basket of medicinal materials with the kid." Bai Qi is still gentle and polite, but her attitude is very resolute.

The head of the Zhao family saw that it was useless to rely on the old man and sell the old, so he turned to the little girl who was the stall owner, and said kindly: "Little girl, you just said that the old man can buy as much as he wants, and the old man doesn't want to discount the old man, is this still a number?" ”

As soon as Gu Ye nodded, he was stopped by Bai Qi with a nervous expression: "Little girl, I inquired about this basket of medicinal materials first." According to the rules of the drug market, if one party does not explicitly give up during the bargaining, it cannot be resold to others. ”

"The virtuous nephew is wrong! The little girl just saw that you were curious about the yellow essence and kindly reminded you. From beginning to end, neither of you has expressed any intention of buying or selling, and this is not a violation of the rules of the market. The head of the Zhao family tried to make no concessions.

"Master Zhao, my nephew was about to express his intention to buy it, but he was interrupted by you. My nephew didn't make it clear that he wouldn't buy it! It seems that something is wrong for you to intervene in this way. "Bai Qi didn't give an inch. Jimintang and Baicaotang, one is a rookie in the pharmaceutical industry, and the other is a century-old store, and competition is naturally everywhere. Perhaps, the rise and fall of Jimintang is here, and he will never give up!

Just as the smell of * between the two of them was getting stronger, and the tension was gradually rising, a weak voice sounded: "What's that...... You all don't fight, the price has not been negotiated, what's the point of fighting like this? ”

"The price is yours, sell me (the old man) this basket of medicine!" The old man and the young spoke in unison, full of tacit understanding.

"Uh...... In fact, there are two baskets of medicine in the inn, and the quality is similar to this. Those who see it have a share, and they are angry and rich, so don't fight! Gu Ye didn't expect that in this small nameless town, there were actually people who recognized Master's concoction techniques, and there was more than one.

She wiped a handful of beads of sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and she was extremely glad that she didn't take out the medicine made by her master's hand. Otherwise, these two people will not be allowed to break their heads! Obediently, the name of the medicine saint is really not covered!

As soon as he heard that there were two baskets of medicinal materials of the same quality, the smell of the old and the young suddenly disappeared, and they pulled back and forth with a smile on their faces, as if the two people who had just fought cocks were not them. Gu Ye sighed that the two of them were so proficient in the cultivation of the face changing technique.

Three baskets of medicine, the head of the Zhao family and Bai Qi discussed, and they were divided in half. Then it was left to talk about the price, Gu Ye cleared his throat and said to the two big customers: "Actually, I don't really understand the market of this pure medicine." Or...... Do you offer an offer? I believe that with the reputation of your Baicaotang and Jimintang, you will not fool my little girl. ”

Gu Xiao, who had been silently paying attention to everything in front of her behind her, glanced down at her granddaughter, and always felt that she was smiling like a little fox on her face. This little girl, who just came all the way, didn't she inquire about the market of pure medicine clearly?

If this little girl is indeed related to the Medicine Saint, then naturally she has to find a way to increase her favorability. The head of the Zhao family hurriedly said: "The quality of your medicines is good, the old man gives you the price of high-grade medicinal materials, what do you think?" ”

Gu Ye looked at the handsome little guy in Tsing Yi again, and her intuition told her that this young man would not pit her.

Bai Qi nodded slightly, and said, "Your concoction technique has indeed reached the level of a pharmacist, but there is still a gap between you and the great pharmacist." The high-grade medicinal materials given by the head of the Zhao family are not biased. ”

The head of the Zhao family continued to brush his favorability: "Little girl, don't worry!" Our Baicaotang has always been credibility first, and children are not bullied. There are many opportunities for cooperation in the future, how can the old man joke about the credit of Baicaotang? ”

In the end, three baskets of medicinal materials were sold at a price of fifty-six taels. This far exceeded Gu Ye's expectations, you must know that these are all common medicinal materials she concocted, and the highest price of yellow essence is only eighty wen a catty. These two companies bought her medicinal materials at a high price, in addition to the fact that the quality is really good, there is no credit to her master.

When the head of the Zhao family came out to inquire about her residence, she chose to hide it. She didn't want her family to be harassed by strangers all the time, and her master certainly did the same.

Bai Qi changed his way, pointed to the middle-aged shopkeeper behind him, and said to Gu Ye: "Little girl, if you have medicinal materials to sell in the future, come to the town to find a shopkeeper in Jimin Hall, and he will give you a fair price." ”
