An Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head and asked Leng Nanxian, "Master, what does the sulfur-smoked medicinal herb look like?" How to identify? ”

Qianzhou preemptively said without thinking: "To identify medicinal materials, most of them are through pinching and smelling to see the four identification methods. After the ordinary medicinal materials are dried, the color is mostly dull, and after the sulfur is fumigated, the color will be bright and bright, just like the lily Codonopsis, etc., the color is as white as snow, not mixed with any impurities, it is processed.

Secondly, the medicinal herbs after sulfur fumigation usually have a pungent sour smell, which can be identified by smelling or tasting. In addition, the fumigated herbs are heavier than the unfumigated herbs, and the experienced doctor can feel the difference in weight without careful identification when holding it in his hand. You're just getting started, and I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference at a glance for a while. ”

An Sheng said with a low "um": "It turns out that there are so many doorways. ”

Leng Nanxian put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked indifferently, "What are you asking for?" ”

An Sheng hesitated slightly, bit his chopsticks and said truthfully: "When I go back to the city in a while, I want to go to the Hutchison Pharmacy to have a look." ”

"You want to do this?"

An Sheng nodded: "I can't clearly know that they are doing nothing to harm others for personal gain, and let more and more people suffer from this." ”

Others may not know, but Leng Nanxian naturally knows where An Sheng's heart knot is, and said indifferently: "I'll go with you in a while." ”

"But Master," Qianzhou hesitated a little: "Do you know that many pharmacies will fumigate medicinal materials with sulfur in order to look good, or to prevent insects, can we manage it?" ”

"If you can't manage it, teach everyone how to discern it, and you can't let everyone continue to be fooled." An Sheng said without thinking.

"That will offend all the pharmacies in the capital." Qianzhou said worriedly.

Leng Nanxian frowned slightly: "A small amount of sulfur added is insignificant, and it won't do much harm to the human body." But the medicine in Hutchison Pharmacy can make patients have such an obvious reaction with one dose, which shows how powerful it is. If they don't stop it in time, they will intensify and one day make trouble and save people's lives, and we are also for his good. ”

Sister-in-law Feng nodded in agreement: "Childe is right, the woman will go with you in a while." If they are unrepentant and quarrel, the woman asks them to look good. ”

Leng Nanxian shook his head: "No need, we are just going to admonish, not deliberately provoking." ”

Sister-in-law Feng could only give up.

After the two finished their dinner, they got into Leng Bo's carriage and went straight into the city, heading straight to the Hutchison Pharmacy.

Hutchison Pharmacy, not long after it opened, has a new head, a new signboard, and a gilded couplet next to it: "I hope that people in the world are disease-free, and would rather put medicine on the shelf to produce dust", the shopkeeper treats each other with a smile and makes money with kindness.

On the side of the pharmacy, there is a sitting doctor who is responsible for diagnosing and prescribing prescriptions. Behind him hangs a portrait of the medicine king Sun Simiao holding a tiger support, and a colorful tiger is obediently lying at his feet. In front of the portrait, there is an incense case and fresh fruits to worship. It's all the rules in the pharmacy, it's no different.

Leng Nanxian took An Sheng into the pharmacy, glanced at the portrait, handed the prescription in advance in his hand to the guy, the guy took it in his hand, naturally he didn't doubt him, quickly spread out the hemp paper, and turned around to take the medicine from the medicine cabinet behind the counter.

Leng Nanxian picked up a blind codonopsis and handed it to An Sheng: "Codonopsis, you are common, see how it is different from ours?" ”

An Sheng took it in his hand, and without careful identification, he immediately saw the difference in color. According to Professor Qianzhou's identification method for himself, he put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and it really had a pungent sour smell, which was very obvious.

"This is what has been smoked with brimstone!" Ansheng is categorical.

Leng Nanxian bowed: "Yes, this sulfur-smoked medicinal herb is indeed beautiful in color at first, but after being left for a period of time, it will become burnt yellow, and it is still recognizable at a glance." ”

When the guy saw that the two of them were holding medicinal herbs and talking and pointing, they were not like ordinary customers, so he was a little suspicious, stopped what he was doing, and secretly glanced at the shopkeeper on the side.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his thirties, thin and shriveled, with a mustache, standing behind the two without saying a word, listening to the two of them talking as if no one was around, it was a sneer.

"Are you two here to buy medicine, or are you here to smash the field for us?"

An Sheng was startled, turned around, looked him up and down, and saw that he was dressed, even if he was not the shopkeeper, he should be the steward in the pharmacy.

"Are you the shopkeeper of this Hutchison pharmacy?"

The shopkeeper's skin smiled and didn't smile: "Exactly." ”

An Sheng held a lily in his hand and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, your medicinal herb has smoked too much sulfur, which will make the medicine counterproductive." ”

Jia Liu sneered: "This sulfur lavender is originally a rule that cannot be publicized in the industry, and judging by the conversation between the two of you, it should also be a person from our apricot forest." Why do you have to go to my pharmacy to find faults and make trouble? ”

Jia Liu confessed to this matter, and he was justifiable, without the slightest shortness of breath.

Leng Nanxian said indifferently: "Lily was originally a medicinal material that dries and moistens the lungs, but after being fumigated by sulfur, the medicinal effect is obviously counterproductive. In addition, the patient is already frail, and if there is a slight mistake, the condition will be aggravated, and the shopkeeper should understand these truths. ”

"Don't be alarmist here!" Jia Liu's face was arrogant, and he unceremoniously interrupted Leng Nanxian's words: "Don't say it's a medicinal herb, on this street, the restaurant teahouse, for a good skin, there are more steamed buns and steamed buns with sulfur, and I haven't seen anyone die." You're just here to find fault, aren't you? ”

"Just because no one comes to your door doesn't mean there isn't. Maybe it's just that they don't understand pharmacology and are kept in the dark. An Sheng immediately retorted.

"Hey, the little girl's mouth is terrible. They don't dare to come to find it because they eat people's lives, because they are smart. Why do you want to be stronger? I don't ask outside about who this shop is. ”

"No one should disregard human life for personal gain! You're discrediting our apricot forest! An Sheng retorted unceremoniously.

"Sure enough, it was a peer who came to smash the stall, so I'm not welcome to the sixth master."

Jia Liuyi turned his head and ordered: "Go and call the people of the little master, tell them that someone has come to the pharmacy to deliberately make trouble, and ask them to come over to administer justice." ”

The young man answered, immediately turned the counter, and went out in a puff of smoke.

Jia Liu sneered: "Get acquainted with each other, get out of the egg quickly, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin." ”

Leng Nanxian raised his face to look at the portrait hanging in the pharmacy, and said indifferently: "Since you have hung the portrait of my ancestor to do business, then I will take care of it." ”

"Shh The shopkeeper scoffed: "What a big breath, your grandfather?" This medicine king is the ancestor of our apricot forest, can he still be related to you? ”

Leng Nanxian didn't speak, just raised his hand, held it high above the top, and made a rattle gesture.

Jia Liu was inexplicable, and the doctor sitting in the hall on the side had been watching the excitement, but he saw the clues, got up and dragged Jia Liu, and bowed his head for a while.

Leng Nanxian's gesture is to say that he is doing the action of rattling the bell in the streets and alleys in the rivers and lakes. This bell is a tiger brace, and it is particular about shaking it.

If it is placed on the chest and shaken, it means that it is a Langzhong with general medical skills, that is, it is a headache and brain fever, and it sells some ordinary herbs. Shaking at shoulder level indicates that the medical skill is higher and can cure incurable diseases. But if you lift it above your head and shake it, it's terrible.

Ordinary people dare to shake like this, one is self-modest, and the other is that it is easy to provoke the envy of other Langzhong on the territory. Unless it's a swagger, Yarou is arrogant, or, he really has a brush in his hand.

Especially in the pharmacy, where the ancestral tablet is enshrined, You Fang Langzhong has passed by, and he has to put down the tiger brace and pass quietly, otherwise he will dare to be disrespectful to the ancestral master.

This young man, so arrogant, dared to make such an action in front of the portrait of the ancestor in the pharmacy, the shopkeeper didn't understand, and the doctor muttered in his heart.

This person is either a swaggering liar, or he is the heir of the Medicine King! Only the disciples of the Medicine King dared to hold the glory of their ancestors and hold the tiger above their heads.

As soon as he said this, Jia Liu was immediately happy, who to scare? It's clear that he's a liar.

He shouted at Leng Nanxian is teeth: "Dare to be so lawless in front of the Medicine King, there is not even a rule, you will want to gain a foothold in this capital in the future!" ”

Leng Nanxian just smiled indifferently and didn't argue.

At this time, the guy had already taken two people into the pharmacy, and pointed at Leng Nanxian and An Sheng: "It's the two of them." ”

Two big men came in from outside the door with their arms dangling, and stretched out their hands to point at the signboard on the door: "There are also people who dare to make trouble in the shop covered by our little master?" Let's go, let's talk outside, don't break things, and let you break the bank. ”

The meaning of these words is clearly to let the two go out and be beaten.
