Tongrentang is an antique Chinese-style wooden decoration, on the left side of the room is a glass counter, with a variety of secondary, medicinal wine and some packaged supplements, on the right is a wooden cabinet from top to bottom, one drawer after another, with the name of Chinese medicine pasted on the outside, kraft paper and small scales on the wooden counter, and a wooden table in the middle, and an old doctor in his sixties sitting, looking at the pulse pillow in front of him, this is an old Chinese medicine doctor, the whole pharmacy is filled with a smell of Chinese medicine, smelling a familiar smell, An Xia took a deep breath.

The old doctor raised his eyes and looked at the little girl who came in, her eyes were extremely bright, and she looked good, a little thin, "Little girl, do you see a doctor or take medicine?" ”

An Xia looked around, except for this doctor, there were only two young men in this pharmacy, and there was no one in charge.

The old doctor felt strange, this little girl came in, and didn't answer the question, so he looked around, he was vigilant in his heart, don't come to touch porcelain, this thing is not unencountered, after grabbing the medicine and taking it, there are not a few people who are sick and want to return the money.

"Sir, do you have someone in charge here?"

The old doctor's expression was slightly cold, "What are you looking for a steward?" I'm the doctor in this shop, and I'm also the second shopkeeper, so I have something to tell me. ”

An Xia saw that the old Chinese medicine doctor in front of him had a cold attitude, and his tone became indifferent, could it be that he was making trouble?

She walked up to the old Chinese medicine doctor and whispered: "Old man, I'm not here to make trouble, I want to sell medicinal herbs, I don't know if I can accept it?" ”

Selling medicinal herbs? The old doctor raised his head and looked at Anxia's dress, the clothes were quite old, and the canvas bag on the little girl's back was also washed white, it seems that the conditions at this girl's home are not good, he also often encounters people who sell medicinal materials, most of them are rural people, some buy centipedes caught by themselves, and some sell some herbs picked from the mountains.

"Little girl, sit down, can you take out what you sell for me to see?"

An Xia sat on the chair opposite the old Chinese medicine doctor, a little vigilant, "Can you call the shots?" My stuff is quite valuable. ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor was interested, could it be that he dug up Niu Bao, that is, the bezoar in traditional Chinese medicine, "Little girl, I can call the shots, unless your things are too expensive, I will invite the big shopkeeper to come, don't worry, our Tongrentang is a centuries-old brand, and we will never do anything like buying and selling." ”

An Xia was a little relieved, "Then no matter what I sell, can you keep it secret for me?" I don't want to be disturbed. ”

At this time, the old Chinese medicine doctor showed a little caution on his face, and he looked at An Xia carefully, could it be that this girl's family was in good condition before, but her family was in the middle of the road? It's really possible, this girl is generous, has a good temperament and appearance, but is thin, maybe she was really born into a big family, and that kind of family has good things in their hands, and they won't sell it unless they have to, so after the sale, they also want the buyer to keep it secret, because they can't afford to lose this person.

"Don't worry, we can keep it secret if we need to, can you show me what you're selling?"

An Xia put her heart at ease, there was no other way at the moment, after all, this is a time-honored big pharmacy, it is safer than a small pharmacy, she slowly took out the plastic bag from her bag, and the old Chinese medicine doctor stared at the bag in her hand tightly.

"I'm going to sell an old mountain ginseng, pure wild, for thirty years."

"Ginseng?" The eyes of the old Chinese medicine are bright, this is a good thing, or wild, the year is not short, I just don't know how the quality of this ginseng is, although there are wild ginseng on the market for 30 years, but not much, every year there are hundreds of roots, ginseng is different from others, that is, artificial planting, it takes more than five years to produce ginseng, and the growth is slow, and the land planted ginseng is the most numerous two stubbles, it can no longer be used, ginseng seems to have sucked up all the nutrients of the land, not raised for three or five years, the land is not slow.

Therefore, the planting of ginseng has a long breeding time and a large investment, and there are not many ginseng planted in the market for 30 years, not to mention the wild, 30-year-old ginseng, which is to dig one less ginseng, and the yield in recent years is obviously not as good as before, but I didn't expect this little girl to have wild ginseng in her hands.

"Little girl, can I take a look?"

Anxia pushed the bag forward, the old doctor was a little entangled, how could the thirty-year-old ginseng not be packed in a box, if he touched a ginseng, the price would be greatly discounted, he was a little heartbroken, carefully opened the bag, a strong smell of ginseng came to his nose, just the first glance, the old Chinese medicine doctor was excited.

This is the old ginseng, the wild ginseng, the color of the skin, the dense ginseng whiskers, the folds, and this full appearance, this is the top-grade ginseng, the old Chinese medicine doctor was a little excited, "Little girl, can I take it out and take a look?" ”

Anxia nodded, "Yes, but you have to be careful not to break it for me." ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor was speechless, thinking that you are not afraid of breaking it in a plastic bag by yourself, I picked it up to see how it would be broken, but he didn't say anything, carefully pinched the ginseng abdomen, and slowly lifted the ginseng from the plastic bag, and the full and complete ginseng was presented in front of his eyes.

"Little girl, how many years has your ginseng been stored?"

Don't blame the old Chinese medicine doctor for asking, the ginseng will lose its medicinal effect after a long time, so after the fresh ginseng is processed, it will be used as soon as possible, so as to give full play to the maximum effect of ginseng, but although he asked, the ginseng in front of him has a strong medicinal effect, just smelling the taste, he knows that this is a ginseng less than a year old, with a strong ginseng flavor, without the slightest dilution.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be long before you can collect this ginseng?"

"Collect, we accept." The old Chinese medicine doctor called a young man and took a wooden box, and he carefully put the ginseng in, "Little girl, is it convenient to go inside and talk?" ”

Anxia was not afraid, put away the plastic bag and put it back in the bag, "You lead the way." ”

Then An Xia came to the room behind the pharmacy, it was exactly the same as the TV series "Mansion Gate" she had watched before, it was still a traditional Chinese decoration, after he entered, the old Chinese medicine doctor called someone to make tea and snacks, and the old Chinese medicine doctor called and said that he was calling the big shopkeeper to take a look.

Soon Anxia had three plates of dim sum in front of him, a plate of peach cake, a plate of trough cake, and a plate that is very rare in Wushi, a typical northern typical jujube pastry, and a cup of green tea.

After making the call, the old Chinese medicine doctor politely talked to An Xia, saying that the big shopkeeper would arrive in ten minutes, and asked An Xia to eat some snacks and drink hot tea first.

An Xia thanked him, picked up a piece of jujube paste, and said with a smile: "This dim sum is rare in Wu City, but there are many in the imperial capital." ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor didn't expect that An Xia still had this insight, had he ever been to the imperial capital?

He secretly watched An Xia's every move, and saw that she was not in a hurry to eat, and one hand was still in her mouth, and he was more and more sure that An Xia was from a big family.
