Chapter 164: Poverty
I looked at the man at the bar in amazement, and he looked at me in amazement, and we both looked at each other.
I wondered, "Isn't this a pharmacy that sells Chinese medicine?" Someone told me that you sell Chinese medicine here, so I came here to buy Chinese medicine. ”
The man frowned and said, "Who told you that?" ”
Without even thinking about it, I said, "My boss told me!" She opened a dumpling shop in Chinatown called Yang Shuang. ”
At this time, the old man who was originally lying on the bamboo chair reading a book suddenly coughed a few times, and the man in the bar seemed to have been instructed, and suddenly stopped asking some inexplicable questions, but asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”
"I've written it all on this piece of paper, and the quantity has been written, so take the medicine according to this, you can calculate it, how much will it cost?"
I was a standard poor man with very little money. I had this shopping list ready last night, just to know how many copies I had enough money on me.
The man took the list from my hand, looked at it, but his brows furrowed, and he asked after a while, "What kind of recipe is this?" Do you know the properties of these medicines? The medicinal properties of these 20 kinds of Chinese medicine are different, and they will be poisoned if used indiscriminately! ”
I wrote this according to the recipe of the medicinal bath in the "Medical Scripture", and there is no possibility of poisoning. But I can't tell the other party the truth, I still understand the truth that the husband is not guilty.
Immediately returned: "I won't tell you, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner myself, I know the medicinal properties of these things very well, you just need to pick up the medicine for me, I know how to use it." ”
At this time, the old man who was lying on the bamboo chair reading a book coughed a few times again, and the man in the bar hurriedly returned: "You wait a minute, I'll ask the guy to get you medicine later." ”
He hurried out of the bar and handed my slip to the old man on the bamboo chair. I was stunned, and my gut told me that this pharmacy was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The old man looked at my list, and the man began to ask the man to bring me the medicine, and when he was done, he used his calculation and returned: "Seventy euros in total." ”
I was surprised that when converted into RMB, it would be 700. I didn't expect this to be so expensive here. Taking a bath costs 700 oceans, and practicing qi is equivalent to burning money!
You must know that the medicine on the list can only be used once, and it is 700 at a time, and it is more than 20,000 a month!
I'm a poor person here, and I have to earn all the expenses back by washing the dishes for Yang Shuang, and that money, needless to say, is 100% not enough for me.
At that moment, I had to ask: "Boss, do you see if it can be cheaper?" I'm going to come here often to buy it. ”
"Frequent purchases?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned: "This is not China, these medicines are imported, transportation, and customs must be included in the cost, not to mention that there are several precious Chinese medicinal materials in your list, you see that even in China, the price of tiger bones and Zihe cars will not be too low." So, even if I give you a cheaper price, it won't be much cheaper. And I really can't understand this list, why do you often buy it? ”
I'm a little weak-hearted, after all, he is right, there are a few flavors of Chinese medicine in China, which is also very expensive. But what I didn't expect was that it would be more expensive when placed abroad!
I counted the money on my body, sighed and said, "Then please follow this list and catch me two more copies." ”
At this time, the only money I have saved is enough for me to catch three copies, and I haven't tried it yet, so I have to try it first.
After he was caught, he wiped me with a fraction, which cost me 2,000 yuan.
I took the packaged Chinese medicine, looked at the time, and hurried towards the dumpling shop.
Yang Shuang saw me carrying several packets of traditional Chinese medicine, and said in surprise: "Yang Zheng, what are you doing?" ”
I raised the Chinese medicine in my hand and returned: "I went to buy Chinese medicine, boss, discuss something, can these things be put in your car first!" ”
"The key is at the bar, you can just put it yourself."
"Okay, thank you boss. By the way, do you know where to buy wooden barrels? It's the kind you use for bathing! ”
The room that Yang Shuang found me was very simple, and there was no such thing as a bathtub, so I had to buy a wooden barrel for bathing myself.
Yang Shuang frowned and asked, "You want to cultivate immortals!" To buy so many medicines, you have to buy a wooden barrel for bathing! ”
I was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Cultivating immortals is too mysterious, am I not a Chinese medicine practitioner?" These are used to take a bath to strengthen the body. ”
Yang Shuang seemed to believe my explanation, and didn't ask much at the moment, and returned: "I don't know about this, I'll take you to the supermarket to see if there is one after work!" ”
"Okay!" I grabbed my car keys, put the herbs in the car, and started my day's work.
When I got off work in the evening, Yang Shuang took me to a nearby supermarket, but foreign supermarkets have everything, but there are no wooden barrels. It wasn't until I finally found a shop opened by a Chinese that I found a bathing bucket, although it was not a wooden barrel, but it could be heated automatically, but the price was a bit expensive.
I only have fifty euros on me, but this bucket costs eighty euros, so I had no choice but to borrow money from Yang Shuang to buy a bucket and let her deduct it from my salary.
When I got home, I moved it into the bathroom as soon as I got home, then plugged it in and filled it with water and started heating it.
When the water was hot, I poured all the herbs into it and let it continue to heat.
When I could go in, I jumped into the bucket.
While taking a medicinal bath, he practiced the trick of inphysion.
I didn't feel anything at first, but as time passed, the medicinal power was gradually absorbed by me, and although the speed of absorption was very slow, the speed at which the qi in my body was running and refining was several times faster than before!
If my previous speed was walking, when I was in a medicated bath, this speed became cycling!
After the water turned into clear water again, I finally walked out of it, felt it, and was suddenly surprised, it seems that the master is really a god. Practicing Qi in this way is much faster than before, three days a day!
If I could practice Qi like this every day, it would have taken me three years to achieve something, but now it only takes one year!
At this rate, I believe that I will be able to practice the first level of the Wuxiang Technique in no time.
When Master passed it on to me, he told me about the level of the secret of non-phase.
It is divided into nine layers, and after the first layer is practiced, it is basically regarded as a person who practices martial arts, but his martial arts cultivation is relatively low-level, and he barely enters the stream.
My master is one level higher than the instream, but he belongs to the top masters of that level.
As long as I have enough Chinese medicine now, it won't be long before I can go from inflow to inflow. The first layer of the Phaseless Recipe can also be practiced quickly.
But Chinese medicine needs money, and I am poor now.
