Volume 3 Water City Chapter 205 Baicao Hall
With a cold word, Xue Hairpin was suddenly puzzled, looked down at the jade bottle in his hand, and then quickly raised his head, "You...... What is this for, you ask?"
Zhou Nian's face was calm, "Curious." β
"Curious?" Xue Hairpin was even more surprised, frowning and muttering, "This ...... Isn't this just an ordinary jade bottle? Even the street vendors have it in their hands, and the beggars don't bother to pick it up when they throw it on the ground, and you will be interested in it?"
Zhou Nian waved his hand, "No, no, maybe my previous expression was a little wrong, what I'm interested in is not the bottle, but the medicinal powder in the bottle." β
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Hairpin's face changed suddenly, Sakura's mouth opened slightly, and he even stumbled a little when he spoke, "You...... How do you know there's powder?"
"Hehe, I smell it. β
"Huh?" Xue Hairpin's mouth opened wider, blinked his smart eyes a few times, and couldn't help but tease at the moment, "You...... Your nose is a dog's nose, can you smell it?"
Zhou Nian frowned, "Hey, are you making a personal attack, comparing me to a dog?"
"I ......" Xue Hairpin blushed, and immediately realized her faux pas, and quickly apologized, "That, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I was rude just now, but your skills are too surprising, so I ......"
Zhou Nian waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, you don't care what nose I am, I'll ask you a word, where did you get the ambergris in this bottle?"
"Ambergris? hiss...... You...... How do you know again?"
Xue Hairpin really didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment, this "strange" teenager in front of him who had only beaten him face-to-face, and he even guessed the name of the medicine right all of a sudden?
As soon as you smell it, you can know what kind of medicine powder is in the bottle, just ask, how many of those old pharmacists in the City of Water can do it?
This is a master!
"You...... Who the hell are you?" Xue Hairpin suddenly said this, obviously showing great interest in Zhou Nian.
Zhou Nian looked indifferent, "You don't care who I am, you just have to tell me where I bought this ambergris." β
"This ......" Xue Hairpin hesitated, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she now had a stomach full of questions to ask the other party, if she said the answer directly, the other party would just slap her ass and leave.
However, she wanted to hold on to Zhou Nian, but Zhou Nian didn't have the spare time to spend with her here.
Seeing that Xue Hai lowered his head and didn't say anything, Zhou Nian simply made a move to retreat, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, I'll ask others." β
After saying that, he walked away, not even bothering to turn his head.
"You ......" Xue Hairpin behind him was stunned, his brain was buzzing, and he was muttering in his heart, "He...... He's leaving? Why? How can he go?"
In her values, a man should have a certain gentlemanly demeanor, even if he wants to say goodbye, at least he must be polite to the girl before leaving.
Why is this wilted and wilted hairy boy in front of him so unsympathetic?
"Bad" through!
Xue Hairpin was unwilling, and even more unacceptable, for the first time in front of a man, she experienced what it meant to be frustrated, and she stomped off the ground with little feet, and she chased after her with a step.
"Wait!"
Zhou Nian's retreat really worked, and Xue Hairpin really stopped him.
After a pause, Zhou Nian slowly turned around, "Oh, you still have something." β
Xue Hairpin was angry, but she had something to ask, and she had to endure it.
pursed his red lips, and it took Xue Hai a long time before he could hold back a sentence, "Okay, I'll tell you the place." β
"Where?"
"Just follow me. After Xue Hairpin finished speaking, he led the way directly in front.
Zhou Nian chased after him curiously and asked, "You want to go too?"
Xue Hairpin didn't squint, "Yes, there isn't much ambergris in the small jade bottle, I'm just going to add it." β
"Oh, that's right. β
Zhou Nian didn't ask any more questions, and followed Xue Hairpin towards the pharmacy.
But he had just followed not far when a familiar voice suddenly stopped him not far away.
"Hey, Master Zhou, I'm looking for you, you forgot about this. β
The person who came was found all the way by the little demon shop, who else was there besides Zeng Qiaoyun?
"Huh, Miss Zeng?"
Zhou Nian turned his head to stare at her, and was about to ask, but saw that the other party suddenly handed him a small silver-white sign.
"What is this?" frowned slightly, and Zhou Nian took the small sign and asked.
Zeng Qiaoyun explained, "This thing is called a demon card, which is the biggest proof of raising small demon beasts, and there are clear regulations in the city of water, all owners who raise small demon beasts must have a demon card in their hands." β
"This is the demon card?" Zhou Nian stared at the small sign in his hand curiously, and before he could understand it, he saw Xue Hairpin in front of him turn back suddenly!
"Huh, Sister Zeng?"
"Huh, Sister Xue Hairpin?"
Zhou Nian suddenly raised his head, smacked his mouth, and felt speechless on his face, "Hey, you two shouldn't know each other." β
Xue Hairpin and Zeng Qiaoyun were both stunned, and after nodding one after another, they almost said in unison, "You two also know each other?"
β......β
Deaf, it's an old acquaintance again!
Zhou Nian wondered in his heart, "What's wrong with me today? Why do all the people who are against him know Zeng Qiaoyun?"
The atmosphere in the field was very awkward, and there was a stalemate for a while, and Zhou Nian didn't bother to explain in detail, and ran directly to the topic, "Miss Xue, please lead the way." β
"Oh. Xue Hairpin was stunned for a moment, Mu Ne nodded, and then continued to lead the way.
Zeng Qiaoyun hurriedly chased after him, ran to the front of Zhou Nian and walked with Xue Hairpin, his face was full of doubts, "Sister Xue, how can you two know each other?"
"This ...... Alas!" Xue Hairpin turned red, and immediately told her and Zhou Nian about the previous misunderstanding.
And Zeng Qiaoyun was even more uncertain when he listened, and he was surprised for a while and solemn for a while, obviously frightened.
Towards Xue Hairpin a little closer, Zeng Qiaoyun deliberately lowered his voice very low, as if whispering between girlfriends, and the two of them muttered.
Exchanging information and sending secrets to each other, the topics in between were nothing more than some celebrity anecdotes about Zhou Nian, the more Xue Hairpin listened, the more suspenseful he felt, and he glanced back at Zhou Nian from time to time, as if he was looking at a visitor from outside the world.
Finally, when the two of them finished muttering, the pharmacy in Xue Hairpin's mouth finally arrived.
Zhou Nian looked up, the faΓ§ade of the pharmacy in front of him was not big, and the preliminary estimate was that it was only half of Jishitang, and there were three big characters written on the plaque directly above it-Baicaotang.
Stretching out his hand and pointing to the Baicaotang in front of him, Xue Hairpin's expression was very strange, "That, we've arrived." β
"Well, let's go inside. β
Zhou Nian nodded, and as he spoke, he took the lead in the pharmacy.
As soon as he stepped into the door, a strong smell of medicine immediately permeated people's nostrils, and there was a large table of eight immortals standing in front of the door, and behind the table was a mahogany Taishi chair, on which sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin figure, with a mustache, and his eyes slightly narrowed, he was giving a stout rough-faced man a look.
His name is Bai Wenqi, and he is the most outstanding gentleman in Baicaotang, who has been practicing medicine and saving people for more than ten years, and his medical skills are even more superb.
After thinking for a while according to the pulse of the rough-faced man, Bai Wenqi slowly withdrew his hand, and then laughed softly, "Hehe, Sixth Brother Chen's body is fine, but he has occasionally felt cold recently, he is prone to coughing and shivering, and there is a little more phlegm. β
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write the formula, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced at a fast speed, and then handed it to a young man next to him.
The young man hurriedly grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, and when he was young, he returned with a large bag of medicinal herbs.
Taking the medicinal herbs from the young man's hand, Chen Liu quickly stood up and hugged his fist towards Bai Wenqi, "Thank you, Doctor Bai, how much is that?"
Bai Wenqi waved his hand, "Forget it, they are all old acquaintances, and these medicinal materials will be regarded as I gave you." β
"Then how can you do it? Friendship is friendship, buying and selling is buying and selling, one yard is one yard, you better accept it." β
After Chen Liu finished speaking, he directly took out a maple leaf from his arms and threw it on the table, only a little more, picked up the medicinal herbs and walked away.
"This ...... Sixth Brother Chen, you have given too much. Bai Wenqi picked up the maple leaf to chase, but he didn't go as fast as the other party.
Chen Liu stood at the door and waved his hand, "Take it, Doctor Bai, when I get well, we will eat and drink together." β
With that, he suddenly quickened his pace, and soon disappeared into the crowd on the street.
Bai Wenqi was left standing at the door helplessly, sighing slightly, but disrespectfully handed over the maple leaf to the account.
After sending Chen Liu away, Bai Wenqi returned to the Taishi chair again, because there were other patients waiting, and he naturally would not forget his own work.
The next person to see a doctor was a pregnant woman with a good face, dressed in loose clothes, with a big belly, supported by her husband next to her, there was nothing serious wrong with her body, and she mainly came to ask for peace and security.
Zhou Nian lost interest after just one glance, and Bai Wenqi has good medical skills, as far as these patients in the store are concerned, he can serve comfortably.
Mr. Zatang's position is facing the door, on the left hand side of the door is several large medicine cabinets, which store many valuable medicinal materials of Baicaotang, and on the right hand side there is a large counter, behind the counter there will always be a very old pharmacist, who is responsible for serving people who come to grab medicine and ask questions, which is the front desk of the pharmacy.
Walking to the table on the side, Zhou Nian picked up the pen and paper on the table, and then wrote down a few medicinal herbs.
When he was done, he walked to the counter on the side.
Behind the counter stood an old man in his sixties, with white hair and white beard, wrinkles on his face, looking very amiable, and even more polite to others, "Hehe, this little brother, are you going to see a doctor or grab medicine?"
"Grab the medicine. Zhou Nian said calmly, and then handed over the prescription in his hand.
The old man took it and took a closer look, and after glancing at it several times, he was stunned.
