Chapter Seventy-Eight: Apricot Medicine

"Strange, why is this kind of medicine not sold in pharmacies, but in the pickers?"

Dude looks like he takes it for granted.

"That's natural, this kind of medicine with special effects, sold out, you don't know what people use it for, if something happens, who can afford to pay this responsibility?"

Gu Chao first walked to the door and looked, and saw that there was indeed a merchant at the corner of this street.

Then he turned back and asked.

"Then, what kind of apricot powder is this, it won't be harmful for people to eat, right?"

"I can guarantee that this is okay, I have been teased and drunk by my little friends, and now I am standing here well, right?"

Gu Chao nodded, and walked out, and the guy behind her stopped her again.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"The girl's food money hasn't been paid yet."

Gu Chao casually took out a few copper plates from his money bag and threw them over, and the guy's face changed slightly, with a look of embarrassment.

"Girl, don't play tricks on us, it's not enough."

Gu Chao snorted.

"I gave you so much silver, maybe I can't afford to pay for the food? That's all I ordered, and that's all I paid you, and you still have a lot of surplus. ”

After Gu Chao finished speaking, he left without looking back, that guy was just a more greedy heart, but now that Gu Chao didn't let him suffer, of course he accepted it.

Gu Chao walked a few steps, and saw the picker with a hat and a robe.

When she got closer, she saw that there had probably been no business for a while, and that the picker had fallen asleep against the wall of the corner.

Look at the merchant's stall, although it is covered with an indigo cloth to prevent dust, you can still see that the two baskets are bulging.

And the flat pole erected on the side, which has been polished and shiny, can reflect the figure, it seems that it has experienced some ups and downs.

Gu Chao kindly waited for the merchant for a while, but saw that the merchant was still groggy from sleep, so he had to find a way to wake him up.

She screamed a few times at first, but the surroundings were too noisy, and the merchant was afraid that he had long been used to it, so there was no movement at all.

So Gu Chao stretched out a finger, poked it on the merchant's shoulder and shook it.

"Hello, hello?"

After a few clicks, the merchant finally woke up, and Gu Chao watched him go from sleepy eyes to full of energy in an instant.

"Well, what do you want?"

Gu Chao heard that he seemed to have a northern accent, and he should have walked a lot and suffered a lot when he brought the goods here, right?

The vendor who bought Huasheng that day was bullied like that, if he didn't happen to be there, would he just give all the money to those bullies?

Gu Chao put his tone very softly and slowly.

"I want to buy apricot powder, do you have it here?"

The merchant immediately lifted the blue cloth.

"Yes, yes, all the things you can't find anywhere else, I have them here."

As he spoke, the merchant took out a small packet of medicinal powder wrapped in paper.

"That's it."

Gu Chao took it, through the paper bag, gently pressed it with his hand, and pinched it into some very ordinary powder.

"How does this work?"

The merchant smiled.

"If the girl wants to use this, she must hide it, you just need to quietly go down into the food and drink, and it will melt away in a while."

"So, how much does this cost?"

"One or two."

"One or two! So expensive! ”

Gu Chao pinched the money bag, because of the guy in the mutton soup pot shop, her money was almost used, and now although there are one or two, she feels very painful when she uses it.

She patted the shriveled purse, still wanting to fight for it.

"Why is such a small bag so expensive? The panacea for curing diseases and saving people is not so expensive. ”

The merchant sighed meaningfully.

"Girl, you don't know the market. You say what kind of good thing is this, this, but the officials in Kyoto, to get the secrets they want to know, they need this apricot powder. ”

Listening to his northern accent, it turned out to be someone from Kyoto, Gu Chao asked her question, and the merchant smiled.

He only said that he was born in the countryside in the north, because he was close to Kyoto, and he learned this secret recipe by chance, and after he got it, he only passed it on to some people who walked like him to pick up goods, and the same, what good goods other merchants had, they would also share it with themselves.

"You mean it's big, but it's not precious, so why do you want so much?"

Gu Chao picked up his cloth again and looked at the other goods.

"Cheaper, I'm really, I don't have any money."

The merchant shook his head in embarrassment.

"This apricot is expensive, not because the materials are precious, but because the raw materials are extremely rare, and it is not easy to make, and if I give you a cheap price, and others buy it expensive from my other companions, won't I break the rules?"

Gu Chao saw that there was no room for negotiation, but things had to be done, so he reluctantly took out the only big silver ingot in the money bag.

"Here, it's a tael of silver."

Gu Chao took Hu Xingsan and said again.

"I know that there should be very few people who buy this thing! Even if you sell it to me cheaply, I won't go around talking about it, but I've bought it now, so forget it, why don't you give me some more gadgets? ”

When the money arrived, the merchant became a little generous.

"Okay, I'll give you another magic medicine, the effect is similar to that of Hu Xingsan, but the effect is better, and it is used elsewhere, I don't know if the girl can use it?"

Gu Chao was quite puzzled at first.

"What miracle medicine?"

It wasn't until she took the medicine bottle handed over by the vendor, opened the stopper and looked at it, that it was pink and beautiful, and she actually looked at it, and she could already feel the smell of the stump.

Gu Chao hurriedly threw the medicine bottle back.

"This, I don't need this, you better give me individual!"

When the merchant heard this, he laughed even more.

"This is also a good product in the capital, I heard that the princess and the colt have used it."

"Princess? But Princess Rongqu? ”

"Who else could she have? Now there are no other princesses in the palace. ”

Gu Hao looked at him as if he knew everything, and couldn't help but smack.

"How do you know so much about the private affairs of the princess and the colt? It must have been made up to deceive people. ”

The merchant suddenly cried out again and again.

"Oh, girl, you blame me for this, the princess and the concubine are not on good terms, this is something that everyone knows, and the princess is the most favored eldest princess of my dynasty, and she is beautiful, and her mother and concubine are powerful, who doesn't pay attention to her?"

Gu Chao was very disdainful.

"What's the use of following a princess? No matter how much you ask about people, you can't become a princess, just live your own life. ”

The merchant apparently disagreed.

"The girl is wrong, the princess was born to Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong is the daughter of the Xie family, who will be the lord of the world in the future, won't he do the business of our people?"

Gu Chao pondered in his heart, but there was some truth in it, but now in Kyoto, is it so urgent to compete for the throne? Even any merchant on the street can talk about them.

"Then, who do you think is better for the future Majesty?"

The merchant looked left and right, paying attention, so as not to be listened to by the good deeds.

"It's hard to say, it's not that we think that Concubine Rong has only one son, and the other princes are only the sons of the first queen, and the left is just the two of them, but these two people are very different."

"What's the difference?"

"Concubine Rong's children are not outstanding, so she couldn't take on this heavy responsibility, but she has a backer behind her. And Wei Linghao, the son of the queen who lives in Nashen Garden, has a lot of means, and his power is gradually rising, he has the talent of an emperor, it depends on the will of God. ”

Seeing that the topic was gradually drifting away, Gu Chao hurriedly stopped, didn't bother to entangle with him, took the medicine bottle, stuffed it in his pocket at will, and left.

But just now the merchant said that the son of the first queen is called Wei Linghao? Ha, it's really similar to Ling Zhuo's name, but he has such a bad temper, where can he have such a good life.

Has he returned to Kyoto now? While they are arguing with themselves, they can go back and do their own business, right?

It's okay, so that I don't have to fight with him all day long.
