A few ladies here were chatting happily, and Shen Mengxi and they were busy buying the spices they needed in the pharmacy.

"Shopkeeper, see if you have all the medicinal herbs here." Shen Zhilei took a list that Shen Mengxi had written in advance and handed it to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "The guest officer needs these medicinal herbs, but why does the little old man look at this one that doesn't look like a prescription?" ”

Shen Mengxi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, we want these medicinal herbs to be used for medicinal food!" ”

"Medicinal diet? Xiao Lao'er has never heard of what medicinal diet is! ”

"It's food that can nourish the body and treat diseases, and these herbs can only be regarded as auxiliary medicinal materials!"

"Really? Can eating also cure diseases? The shopkeeper looked at the little lady in front of him with an incredible face, the long pink carving was like jade, and the three little men behind him were also born like fairy children. The only adult, Shen Zhilei, did not question what this little lady said, and looked at himself indifferently with a smile.

"Hmmm! I heard my grandfather say that all things have their own attributes and functions, and if they are used properly, they are beneficial to people's bodies, and if they are not used well, they can cause people to get sick or even die! Shen Mengxi's little face had a determined expression.

The shopkeeper listened to what Shen Mengxi said, and claimed to have listened to what his grandfather said, so he guessed that this family was a family of scholars, and then saw that although these people were wearing cloth clothes, they were Ge cloth with better texture, and there was a natural bookish atmosphere all over their bodies. Especially the little lady, her eyes are clear and deep, and she doesn't have the shyness and cowardice that a little lady of the same age should have. Most of these people have a background, and it is normal to have a few home remedies.

In a flash of thought, the shopkeeper decided to suppress his curiosity and stop asking questions about medicinal diets, "I don't know how much you want?" ”

"Let's get two taels of each of these medicinal herbs!" Shen Mengxi smiled and spoke.

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Mengxi, thinking about what medicinal diet needs to use such a large amount, and then raised his eyes to look at Shen Zhilei, seeing him nodding with a smile, his eyes flashed and he opened his mouth to ask if he opened his mouth, but only smiled and asked them to wait for a while, and then let the medicine boy go and grab the medicine according to the list.

Shen Mengxi pulled the corner of Shen Zhilei's clothes, Shen Zhilei looked down at her, and saw Shen Mengxi winking at him, so he smiled and picked up Shen Mengxi and walked to the front of the high counter, watching the medicine boy grab the medicine in the medicine cabinet behind the counter. Every time the medicine boy grabbed one, he put the weighed herbs on the yellow paper laid out on the counter. Shen Mengxi would stretch his neck to see if the medicine was the one he wanted.

Sichuan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cumin, mint, licorice, tangerine peel, monk fruit, cinnamon, sand kernels, angelica, Sannai, Shen Mengxi is just as optimistic, and there are a lot of medicinal materials written on his list. She knew that these were the only ones that couldn't make authentic thirteen spices, and there were some spices that she couldn't get now. The spices she needed were transported from the Western Regions, which were extremely rare, and naturally the price was very expensive. In this era, those who can afford to buy spices to make incense and play with incense are all nobles from high-ranking families, such as Shen Mengxi, even if she goes to a spice shop to buy spices, people will not sell them to her easily.

However, Shen Mengxi believed that with these medicinal materials, after drying jasmine, osmanthus, cloves and other flowers with unique fragrances, he should be able to barely make up the number. By the way, she also found a lot of hawthorn trees in the woods at the end of the village, and seeing that the hawthorn on the tree was about to ripen, she picked the hawthorn and dried it and crushed it and put it in, which could also enhance the taste of thirteen spices.
