Chapter 42: The Pharmacy
Liu Yuanshan was full of apprehension, when he passed by the village in the morning, some villagers saw him going out against a haystack, and his eyes were extremely strange, he was afraid that someone would ask, and he would not answer, and he would inevitably be regarded as a joke.
Now he has been wandering at the door of the pharmacy for a while, he is too weak to enter the door, hesitates for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stepped into the door of the pharmacy.
"This little brother, who are you?" Seeing this, the guy at the pharmacy hurriedly asked.
"I heard that the pharmacy collects medicinal herbs, do you look at these herbs I picked, they may be sold for money?" Liu Yuanshan asked very directly.
The pharmacy guys were a little confused, they entered the medicinal materials, most of them were concocted, like this fresh, not much, but it was not nothing, but the matter of collecting medicinal materials was not in his charge, and he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper.
There was no one in the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper had already discovered Liu Yuanshan, looking at the young man, resisting such a big haystack, if it weren't for the difficulties, it wasn't such a way to sell, after thinking about it, he said: "Take it to the backyard and take a look." ”
Liu Yuanshan had already seen the embarrassed look on his face, he thought that he would be rejected, but he didn't want the shopkeeper to give him hope, and suddenly his eyes were shining, and he followed the shopkeeper into the backyard very neatly.
"Open it and I'll see."
Five or six kinds of herbs, bundled together, neatly tied, but very carefully cleaned up.
The shopkeeper saw it clearly at a glance, and said in his mouth: "They are all extremely ordinary herbs, they can't be sold at a price, and it is difficult for you to resist all the way, so these herbs will give you eight cents." ”
The shopkeeper gave a number, it was too ordinary herbs, and they could pick a large basket of herbs by themselves, and it was very fair to pay this price.
Liu Yuanshan has already nodded more than once, he is already unexpectedly happy to be able to sell it for eight yuan, these are indeed very ordinary, it was almost dark yesterday, and the grass that their brothers and sisters went to pull out, it didn't take much time to exchange for eight wen, he was very content.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Liu Yuanshan learned to shake his hands.
The shopkeeper smiled, but didn't say much.
Only Liu Yuanshan accepted the eight yuan, and asked again: "We have a lot of this herb in the mountain, I don't know if the shopkeeper wants it, if you want me to send it to you again." He looked at the shopkeeper with a wistful expression.
The shopkeeper's hand paused, thought for a while, and said: "These medicinal herbs are average, they are too ordinary, we don't need much in the shop, but if you have time, you can send so many more, I still pay eight yuan, but I won't accept it again." "It's just a few that are dried and put away, and it's enough for a long time.
These grasses are indeed very common, everyone can pick them, Liu Yuanshan also understands this, but the herbs can really be sold for money, which gave him a lot of confidence, his brain turned around, and he raised a smile to look at the shopkeeper and said: "I know that the shopkeeper is a good person, you might as well point out the kid, what medicinal materials are needed in the shop, and can be sold at a price, the kid will pick it and send it to the shop." ”
When the shopkeeper heard him ask, he immediately looked him up and down carefully, and felt that this kid was really a little different, with a strong body, a clever person, and a willing to do it, but he was quite impressed by him.
"You young man is very nimble, but he is very flexible." The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We naturally need medicinal materials in our shop, but most of them are bought from outside, and the price is naturally not cheap, everyone knows that there are medicinal materials in the mountains, but the mountains are also dangerous, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts. ”
As soon as Liu Yuanshan heard what he said, he knew that he had this need, and then replied: "I am strong, but I am not afraid of anything, and besides, the mountains are indeed dangerous, but some herbs can also be found outside the mountain, as long as the shopkeeper is willing to accept it, I will definitely be happy to find it." ”
"You're a good boy." The shopkeeper sighed, then looked for the book, opened a few pages, pointed to the herbs on it and said: "See no, this, and this, are all medicinal materials to stop bleeding, mostly used for trauma, the demand is quite large, if you can pick it, I can give you a good price, and I will never lose you." ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned a few more pages down, then stopped on a page and pointed: "This has the effect of removing the cold, and we also need it in our shop." He pointed to the page and asked him to look at it carefully, then closed the book and said with a smile: "Let's write down these kinds first, if you see them in the mountains, even if you pick them, no matter how much you are afraid that you won't be able to remember, so let's do it first." ”
The books in the pharmacy are very precious, but they can't be read casually, and it is a great kindness to be able to take them out and show them to him, and Liu Yuanshan didn't dare to ask for too much, but he wrote down the three herbs pointed out by the shopkeeper, and he wrote down five or six kinds of them at a time.
"I have written down these three plants, thank you to the shopkeeper, I will send some herbs over tomorrow, and then go into the mountains to find what you said, don't worry, as long as I see it, I will help you pick it." Liu Yuanshan said excitedly.
These weeds can be sold for a few pennies, and the price of the few that the shopkeeper named is definitely not bad, but if they can find a few plants and bring them to the pharmacy, their lives will be able to go on, and they are also relieved, as for finding medicinal herbs, as long as there are them in this mountain, he will definitely be able to find them, for him, it is not a difficult matter.
The whole person became energetic, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and then went to the grain store, Liu Paner told him to buy some food back, since he brought silver money, the family life is now not comparable to before, so the grain can no longer buy fine grain to eat, fine grain is delicious but expensive, they need to be careful this day, otherwise I am afraid it will not last long.
Coarse grains are not delicious, but they can also fill their stomachs, he has nothing to find fault with this, but a few in the family, but they are different from him, and his heart is not worried.
didn't delay, bought dozens of catties of brown rice in the grain store, and walked home with his shoulders on his shoulder.
When passing by the village, many villagers saw him, and saw that he resisted the grain and went back, and the expressions on his faces were also different, the crops were self-sufficient, and the Liu family had no land, but they needed to buy and eat, which also made some people look down on him.
It's just that some people have already seen him resisting haystacks, and they can't help but have some thoughts in their hearts, so they pay attention.
