In mid-October, it was the time when Master Dong's pharmacy sold a large number of medicinal materials.

During this period, the big medicine stores in the capital and several large cities will send people to Hezhong County to fight for the most medicinal materials they can get through a price competition.

At this time, it has also become a lively day for medicine stores in Hezhong County.

The pharmacy of Mr. Dong, which has always been deserted, was crowded with people, some came purely to see the excitement, and some came to take the opportunity to sell medicine.

After all, Master Dong's medicine is limited, and it can't meet the needs of all medicine stores, everyone can't help but want to pick up an opportunity, and for a while, there are various guises outside Master Dong's shop, such as "Hezhong County Time-honored Brand", "Hezhong County Dong's" and so on, doing everything possible to get involved with Master Dong's banner.

"Let's let, let's let.." Peng Yipin squeezed into the crowd under a guise, attracting countless white eyes.

Gu Bainiang and the two young men followed behind him with a wooden plank, and finally came to a good position.

This position was occupied by Peng Yizhen in advance.

"I said what to do to join in the fun, these are useless, those merchants have very high eyelids, so they won't come to the medicine stall to see...."Peng Yizhen inserted the disguise while muttering.

"What if..." Gu Bainiang was busy putting the Chinese medicine in place, and said with a smile, "It's always good to try it, and waiting in the medicine store has no chance..."

Peng Yizhen was a little speechless when he heard this, he really didn't expect this girl to really run a medicine store, he occasionally went over to see it, and knew how hard this girl was, but some things still had to be said in advance.

"Eighteen Niang...."He rubbed his hands, "You know, my family's business is actually not very good.....

Peng's Pharmacy is not only not profitable at present, but constantly losing money, as long as it is open for a day, it will have to invest an extra amount of money, and the purchase of medicinal materials, storage of medicinal materials, etc., there is no place that does not cost money... And because I learned to concoct it, I wasted a lot of medicinal materials

Gu Bainiang knew that Peng Yizhen had no intention of really running this medicine store.

“… Eighteen mothers, why bother like this..."Peng Yizhen sighed, his eyes fell on the hands of this little girl, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, but her hands were already very rough, unlike those women who worked all day, there were incisions and burn marks on this hand, and there were faint yellowing spots left by being soaked in some toxic Chinese medicine.

Compared with her own daughter, although her family background is average, her daughter has never suffered like this.....

"Eighteen Niang, that house is in a good location, rent it out...."He sighed and persuaded.

Leased out, the rent can sustain their family's life, Gu Bainiang knows, in fact, she doesn't know why she did this, that day she was rejected by Master Dong to taste the whole scorpion, standing on the side of the street already wanted to do this, but...

It's that book... After getting the book concocted by Liu Gong, the idea of becoming a pharmacist took shape in her heart unconsciously, or more bluntly, she wanted to make more money, rather than just relying on rent.

"Uncle Peng, I know..."Gu Bainiang smiled bitterly, she knew that Peng Yizhen didn't have that much money to fill this medicine shop, even if he had money, he couldn't do it himself.

Forget it, even if she doesn't have this medicine store, she can go to other medicine stores, and take a step back and say, it's a big deal that she will continue to sell loose medicine.

Thinking like this, Gu Bainiang nodded with a relaxed expression, "I know, Uncle Peng, don't worry." ”

Seeing that she was not displeased, it seemed that she had really figured it out, Peng Yizhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said that it would be good, then good, he still had to sit in the hall for consultation, so he took his leave.

Whenever someone who looked like a foreign merchant came over, Gu Bainiang, like everyone else, was busy shouting, but after all, she was a daughter's family, and it was the first time she did such a thing, and her small voice was quickly drowned out in the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed, and as Peng Yizhen said, the merchants who came and went did not stop in front of their stalls for a moment.

Gu Bainiang was slightly disappointed.

"Little girl, for your family?" A man next to him asked.

"This is our second shopkeeper." The little guy who was squatting on the ground and chewing the cake hurriedly rushed to introduce it.

The man was a little surprised, the second shopkeeper? Generally, it is enough to have one shopkeeper in a medicine store, but I heard that in those big medicine stores, there are two shopkeepers and three shopkeepers or something.

Whose new trick is this? The man looked at it and saw the guise of Peng's medicine store, and he laughed even more.

Everyone knows about the fake medicine incident in the previous paragraph, and they also know that Peng Yizhen opened a medicine store, which became a joke in several counties for a while, but I didn't expect it to be even funnier.....

"Second shopkeeper?" He smiled, looked at the little girl again, and saw that she had a beautiful face, so he couldn't help but smile ambiguously, and turned to the other person, "Peng Yizhen is stupid, hire a little girl to be the shopkeeper?" Couldn't it be the little daughter-in-law who brought it to his son....."

There was a burst of laughter around him, Gu Bainiang didn't speak or pay attention to it, the young man was angry, swallowed the cake in a few bites and stood up and said angrily: "This is our concoction master, what are you yelling about!" ”

Concoction master? After a moment of silence, the laughter grew louder.

"I said Peng Yizhu, right...", the man laughed even more, and tears came out.

The young man wanted to say something, Gu Bainiang waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, and the young man squatted down angrily and continued to eat the cake.

"I'll see, what is this concocted..."The man saw that there was no response to the teasing, and he was a little bored, so he reached out and grabbed a handful of medicine placed by Gu Bainiang nearby.

"Hey, what is this... Pueraria.. How is it pitch black..."The man took it and smiled.

Gu Bainiang glanced at him, "Simmer kudzu." ”

"Simmer kudzu.?." The man laughed, "Little girl, do you still simmer kudzu?" ”

Kudzu, sliced can be used as medicine, and it is like this from the beginning.

Gu Bainiang glanced at him and didn't speak, of course, kudzu can also be simmered, Liu Gong said that raw use is fast, simmering is scattered, and it can be used to calm the intestines and stop diarrhea.

However, this method of concocting has not yet spread, and not many people know about it.

"How do you simmer? Bran simmer? What to simmer? The man didn't understand, so he asked, and saw that the little girl looked at him and didn't answer.

The method of processing medicinal materials loses the secret technology of each medicine store, and it was really abrupt for him to ask this.

The man smiled wryly and muttered, ".. I'm afraid I'm going to learn from you.. I've been doing it for so many years, and I don't know how to concoct kudzu, and I also tell you, the little girl kudzu is still good for raw use, if you want to say simmering, it's not easy to get it, even Master Dong is afraid that he rarely simmers...."

As he spoke, there was a sudden commotion in front of him.

"The shopkeeper's. Look at it this way.."

"What does the shopkeeper want? Come and see my family's... My master once learned under Master Dong....."

Gu Bainiang and the man couldn't help but stand up and look over, only to see three people dressed as foreign merchants looking at the stalls on the street in turn.

"Oh my God, this time it's a big deal!" The man didn't care about breaking his mouth with Gu Bainiang, so he hurriedly put down the medicine in his hand, grabbed his medicine bag, and shouted hard.

The three of them ignored their greetings, their eyes swept casually over the stalls, and two of them were talking in a low voice, undisturbed by the enthusiasm around them.

“… Third brother, this time it is clear that they deliberately raised the price....."

"I know.."

"Third uncle, what's the big deal, let's not want it, is it possible that apart from Master Dong's kudzu, nothing else is kudzu!"

"But this kudzu, what Lord Huang designated is what Master Dong simmered, you don't know Lord Huang's strange temper..... I don't dare to fool him with that other kudzu, unless it is someone more famous than Master Dong......"

"Shopkeeper, look at Kudzu."

A crisp female voice sounded in the chaotic shouting, coupled with the coincidental mention of kudzu, so that the three of them couldn't help but be distracted, and when they looked up, they saw a little girl standing in front of the medicine stall with a little expectation and a little apprehension.
