Chapter 55: Fangzi
They didn't linger long at the fork in the road, and the two quickly returned to the car.
Gu Shaoze asked Ji Xincheng if he was hungry, "You didn't eat much at night." ”
Ji Xincheng shook his head, "The new drama is about to start filming, and I want to be tortured by the coach for a few hours!" ”
It means that even if you are hungry, you will not eat.
The two talked about fitness, Gu Shaoze said that when Ji Xincheng's physical examination report came out, he would let the Chinese medicine doctor take care of her conditioning, and every year when the weather turned cold, Ji Xincheng's immunity would drop sharply, which was something Gu Shaoze wanted to do for her a long time ago.
Ji Xincheng can't say that he wasn't moved, men sometimes can't even remember what number of clothes he was wearing, but he remembered such trivial details for her: for example, how many times she caught a cold in a month, for what reason, and then analyzed and found a response plan for her......
Suddenly thinking of something, Ji Xincheng asked Gu Shaoze to send her to a nearby Chinese medicine pharmacy.
"What are you going to buy?"
"I remembered that there was a recipe for tonifying the body, which is very suitable for Shu Yan to eat now, why didn't I think of it before!"
Gu Shaoze paused for a moment and asked Ji Xincheng:
"Why are you so good to her? No wonder An Zimo thought I lied to him before, saying that you and Shu Yan had known each other for a long time. ”
"Really? Why doesn't he want to think about it, because he is your good brother, so I am extra nice to Shu Yan! ”
When Gu Shaoze heard this, he laughed:
"Really? In this way, Mrs. Gu is because she loves Wu and Wu, and because she loves me, so she also takes special care of my good brother? Isn't that so? ”
Ji Xincheng couldn't help laughing:
"Gu Shaoze, you didn't drink a bar tonight? Or is your reading comprehension taught by a PE teacher? It's because he's your good brother that I don't think An Zimo is much better! So I feel more empathetic to Shu Yan, so explain, understand? ”
The man's expression fell for a moment when he heard this, "Ji Xincheng, what do you mean, make it clear!" ”
The car had stopped, and Ji Xincheng got out of the car while unbuckling his seat belt, and glanced at Gu Shaoze with a smile on his lips.
"You're waiting for me in the car!"
Then he closed the door with a "bang" and went straight to the Chinese medicine pharmacy, leaving Gu Shaoze alone in the car depressed.
"Hmmm! In fact, your recipe is mainly a tonic in the direction of dietary therapy, which can be eaten by pregnant women, but the price of several of these medicinal herbs is quite high. ”
At this time, there was only a middle-aged woman at the counter in the huge pharmacy, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, claiming to be the owner, and asked Ji Xincheng a lot when she looked at the prescription, and finally told her that the price was high, and she was sure if she wanted it.
Ji Xincheng nodded, "I know, you can help catch it." ”
There are a total of eleven flavor medicines, and the most expensive three-flavor shopkeeper took the key and said that it was in the warehouse, and few people usually bought it, so he had to go in and get it, and let Ji Xincheng sit down and wait.
A few minutes later, the shopkeeper walked out of the warehouse, followed by a young woman with a good temperament, who smiled at Ji Xincheng and walked towards a row of shelves lined with Chinese patent medicines.
Ji Xincheng was attracted by that figure and felt familiar, but he really didn't know it.
At this time, I heard the shopkeeper at the counter call her, "Little girl, come and take a look, if it's okay, I'll wrap it up for you." ”
Ji Xincheng looked at the weighed Chinese medicinal materials, checked them carefully, and one of them, Ji Xincheng pinched it and looked at it, and said:
"You're a seedling, not a root, aren't you? I want roots. ”
"It's all the same, the same effect!"
Ji Xincheng was stunned, a little incredulous, "Are you indeed the shopkeeper here?" ”
The other party nodded, with the displeasure of being questioned, pushed his glasses and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Then how could you not know that the medicinal effect of this seedling and the root is completely different? The prices are completely different, you know that, right? ”
"How I don't know, you little girl talking! Have you ever seen this herb, it grows on a cliff! It's not easy to pick the leaves, do you think this one is so easy to pick? I told you that the effect of the medicine is the same, if you don't believe it, go to other pharmacies to see if they give you the same seedlings? ”
The reason why Ji Xincheng remembers the difference between the seedlings and the roots of this medicine is that he was fooled when he bought this medicine for the first time, the seedlings of this medicine can be said to have no medicinal value, and they are not bad people, but they have a certain negative impact on the efficacy of the whole prescription, but because of the huge price difference, there are always some merchants who will mix up the pearls and shoddy.
Ji Xincheng took a closer look at the shopkeeper and the various business certificates hanging on the wall behind her, and said coldly after a while:
"If you still insist on selling like this, I will call the Association to report you."
The shopkeeper immediately became anxious, took back all the unwrapped medicinal herbs, and reprimanded:
"Where did the little girl come from, become a troublemaker! If you don't want to buy it, you can not buy it, what kind of consumer association to scare people! Did I lie to you or did I lie to you? Hundred-year-old Chinese medicine doctors are also worthy of this, you little girl doesn't know what to do here! ”
"If you really only have roots and no seedlings here, you tell me directly, there is no problem, we can find a way to solve it, but you can't help but explain, but tell me that it is the same medicinal effect, this is deception, you open the door to do business, you have to be responsible!"
Ji Xincheng was also polite, his voice was louder, attracting people passing by the door.
The middle-aged female shopkeeper knew that she was at a loss, and she couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so she blushed in a hurry.
"Shall I help you recapture?"
Ji Xincheng looked at it when he heard it, and saw that it was a temperamental woman who walked out of the direction of the warehouse with the shopkeeper first, and looked at her very polite and polite appearance, it was very likely that she was the boss here, and she didn't want to make a big deal out of it at the moment.
Ji Xincheng recognized the other party's attitude of correcting when he knew his mistakes, nodded and agreed.
She's been waiting so long, it's not too bad to wait a little longer.
The woman smiled slightly, and turned to the counter to get a bamboo plate containing medicinal herbs from the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked at Ji Xincheng angrily, very unwillingly.
Ji Xincheng is not angry with her, she can solve the problem well, and she is not the kind of person who is aggressive.
It's just that before leaving, she still said to the woman she thought was the boss behind the scenes: "You still have to be honest in business, and it's not that guests can say black and white if they don't understand!" ”
"That's how it should be."
The woman had good-looking eyebrows and eyes, and smiled at Ji Xincheng gently and generously, expressing her intention to be taught very sincerely.
Ji Xincheng couldn't help but look at her again, and then turned to leave.
After only taking two steps, he saw Gu Shaoze coming in from outside the door, and when he saw Ji Xincheng, he walked towards her: "Why is it so long?" ”
Before Ji Xincheng could answer, Gu Shaoze's eyes that inadvertently fell behind her lit up, and he immediately skipped Ji Xincheng and walked behind her.
Ji Xincheng didn't know why, but saw Gu Shaoze facing the woman who had just re-grabbed the medicine for her, and shouted: "Sister? ”
Sister?!
Ji Xincheng turned around slowly, and when she saw Gu Shaoze and the woman standing together, the two of them had very similar facial features, and suddenly it dawned on her, it was indeed because she was like Gu Shaoze that she felt that the woman seemed to have seen it somewhere.
"Shaoze?"
The woman was also pleasantly surprised, even if she was unprepared, her demeanor was still gentle and soft, calm and elegant.
"When did you come back?" Gu Shaoze asked.
"It's been two days since I've been back, and I'm jet lag, so I haven't had time to tell you."
Gu Shaoze seemed to be very happy, and turned sideways to beckon Ji Xincheng to his side, and the woman's gaze also fell on her along Gu Shaoze.
Ji Xincheng was extremely embarrassed, but he still walked over hard.
"This is your friend?"
When Gu Shaoze's sister asked him this, she looked at Ji Xincheng with a warm smile in her eyes.
"Girlfriend."
Gu Shaoze corrected, and then looked at his sister with a smug look in his eyes, and even the smile on his lips became more dazzling because of this.
"It's beautiful!"
Gu Shaoze's sister said to her younger brother with a smile, and then she stretched out her hand to Ji Xincheng:
"Hello, I'm Gu Haitang, Shaoze's sister."
Ji Xincheng blushed, looked at Gu Shaoze, and then also stretched out his hand and bowed down:
"Hello, I'm Ji Xincheng."
Gu Shaoze was talking to his sister, Ji Xincheng only felt that his face was hot, and he stood aside, not knowing what his sister and brother had said.
In the end, Gu Shaoze said to Gu Haitang: "Let's go home first, and call me when you go home after you rest." ”
Then led the confused Ji Xincheng out of the pharmacy.
Before leaving the pharmacy, Gu Shaoze pulled Ji Xincheng in front of him and looked at Ji Xincheng strangely for a while:
"What's wrong with you? Afraid of my sister? ”
“……”
Ji Xincheng followed Gu Shaoze and got into the car, and told him what had just happened in the store.
"When I left, I taught her a lesson, what to do! Does my sister want to think that I'm the kind of person who is unforgiving? ”
Seeing that Ji Xincheng rarely frowned, Gu Shaoze started the car in a good mood.
"What else did you say?"
"No more!"
She replied aggrievedly, if she knew that it was Gu Shaoze's sister, how could Ji Xincheng not talk to others with that attitude!
So blamed Gu Shaoze and said, "You should have gone in with you just now!" ”
Then there will be no such oolong.
"Didn't you tell me to wait in the car?"
Gu Shaoze couldn't help but smile, and looked at the big bag of wrapped Chinese medicine that Ji Xincheng put in the back seat of the car, "You still recognize medicine?" ”
"I've eaten this recipe before......"
As soon as the words came out, he knew that he was alert, and glanced at Gu Shaoze, Ji Xincheng became vague: "The medicine for girls to supplement their bodies, they know a little bit about it." ”
"When did you eat it?"
Gu Shaoze's happy emotions were still on his face, and when he asked this, Ji Xincheng didn't know if he asked her casually, or if he asked her with inquiry.
He said worriedly: "I forgot, I often take it, this kind of medicine is not something special to take." ”
She tried her best to be ambiguous, deliberately making Gu Shaoze feel that it was just an ordinary and secret thing between girls like menstruation.
After speaking, he secretly looked at Gu Shaoze, and saw that he didn't have any special reaction, and his heart secretly relaxed.
Changed the subject:
"Why is your sister there? Does she run a pharmacy? ”
Gu Shaoze glanced at Ji Xincheng deeply, and the latter didn't dare to look him directly into the eyes.
At this moment, he had already realized that Ji Xincheng had something to hide from him, and his eyes swept from the rearview mirror to the medicine bag in the back seat again.
Since she didn't want to mention it again, he didn't delve into it.
"She just came back from abroad, and it wasn't her shop, maybe it was her teacher's house."
"Does your sister study Chinese medicine?"
"She graduated from fine arts, and Chinese medicine has been studied in the last few years, and she sat in the hall to study with an old Chinese medicine doctor I knew from my grandfather."
"Your sister is so good-looking, sure enough, your family is genetically very good!"
Ji Xincheng rarely praises people so bluntly, and he is a little uncomfortable listening to it.
Sure enough, Gu Shaoze glanced at her and quipped: "I want to say that your husband is handsome, don't be so subtle." ”
Ji Xincheng glared at him and said no, Gu Shaoze smiled evilly, and the atmosphere between the two gradually returned to normal.
"What if my sister doesn't have a good impression of me because of this incident?" Ji Xincheng was really worried.
"My sister is the last thing to worry about in this family, just put your heart down."
"Why? Because she has a good temper? ”
"Because she's the best for me, as long as it's what I like, she'll like it too!"
The man tilted his head sideways, his eyes stared at Ji Xincheng's face with deep meaning, and Ji Xincheng couldn't help laughing under his gaze, "That's good." ”
Then he was puzzled: "I've never heard you mention that you have a sister before, and I don't seem to have seen you call?" ”
