Chapter 73 Buying Medicine

After washing, Chen Rui changed into brand new clothes. When I opened the wooden box again, there were five hundred taels of silver in it, all of which were the size of the child's palm, and there were more than 100 pieces. Weighing the silver coins in his hand, Chen Rui was nostalgic for the fast payment on the earth... After a few moments, he shook his head and began to think about buying medicinal herbs.

After confirming that the medicinal materials on the list were correct, Chen Rui felt that he still needed to go to the pharmacy in person, not only were there many medicinal materials on the list, but also related to the upper limit of his cultivation, he had to confirm them one by one, and he couldn't be sloppy.

Chen Rui thought as he walked, and the person left the guest room. After asking the shopkeeper where the pharmacy was located, he strode in the direction of the market.

It's the end of the hour, and the merchants and passers-by in the market gather together, and it's very lively. Chen Rui followed the characteristics mentioned by the shopkeeper, and after passing through several waves of people, he finally arrived at his destination, Baicaotang.

This is a small pharmacy, located in the innermost part of the market, and there are few people. Also, who would run to the pharmacy if they have nothing to do. The vermilion door is fully opened, welcoming the distinguished guests. Chen Rui nodded, very satisfied with this store, because this store has a great hidden taste in the city, which won Chen Rui's heart. Slowly approaching, before entering the door, Chen Rui smelled bursts of herbal fragrance.

"Man, call your boss out, I have a lot of medicinal herbs to purchase. Chen Rui bowed his head to the counter and instructed the inexperienced young man.

The pharmacy guy seemed to be obsessed with math problems, and Chen shouted again, before he raised his head blankly: "Oh, okay, okay, I'll go and greet Master." After the pharmacy guy finished speaking, he got up and ran to the back hall, but he stuck out half of his head from the door frame: "This distinguished guest, I'm sorry, you can sit down for a while, and you will come immediately." ”

Chen Rui nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Then, a wealthy old man came out, he had a childish face, honest and pleasant, and at first glance he was an expert in medicinal materials.

Chen Rui hurriedly got up, gave a slight salute, and said: "Old man, the junior Chen Rui needs to buy a large number of medicinal materials, this medicinal material must not only be genuine, but also need to be full of years, please take a look." Then Chen Rui took out the list of medicinal materials in his arms and handed it to the old gentleman with both hands.

"Hehe, don't be polite, I will never be short of pounds or two when doing business, and if you cool the hearts of customers, you will put 10,000 hearts on young people. The old gentleman sat down in his chair and patted his chest to reassure.

"Then thank you, please Mr. Qi to see which medicinal materials on this list are difficult to find, just tell me. After Chen Rui finished speaking, he stepped aside, watching the old gentleman Qi sweep down the list line by line, and after the young man brought Chen Rui tea, he also came behind the old gentleman to watch.

"Tut-tut. The young man sighed in his mouth, looked at the list for a while, and looked at Chen Rui for a while, he couldn't see how this gentle and elegant young man came from so boldly, the list clearly stipulated that there must be a thousand-year-old medicinal herb, and it must be selected from Ganoderma lucidum, He Shou Wu and Snow Lotus. Most of the medicinal materials on this list are mostly positive, could it be that this person lacks yang energy? I looked at Chen Rui's face again, and found that Chen Rui's face was very normal, where could it be a lack of yang energy.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Rui finished drinking the tea in the cup, and the old gentleman also finished reading the list in his hand.

"Young man, almost all the medicinal herbs on your list are available in our shop, but those thousands of years of medicinal herbs are really not helpful. Moreover, what is the medicinal herb called 'Wei Qi', I have never heard of it, and I really can't do anything about it. Mr. Qi sighed in frustration, as if he felt guilty for not being able to help Chen Rui.

The old gentleman's facial expression, the meticulous income under Chen Rui's eyes, and the evaluation of the old gentleman in his heart was only four words, "the benevolence of the doctor". "It's okay, I really can't find it, there's no way, I'll go somewhere else to ask, and ask the old gentleman to help me collect all the medicinal materials that can be gathered." ”

"Well, that's nature. However, there are many medicinal materials on this list, and we also need time to find them, so if you are not in a hurry, you can get them in three days. The old man reminded.

"Then there is labor, this is the deposit, and I will pay it all in the remaining three days. Chen Rui took out a bag of silver coins and lined them up on the table.

"Then it's decided, I promise that the year and amount of medicinal materials will be completed meticulously. Seeing Chen Rui take out the silver coin magnificently, the old man knew that the young man was not bad for money, so he just let the other party feel at ease.

After that, under the envious gaze of the young man, Chen Rui left this medicinal herb shop.

In the next hour, Chen Rui ran from the south of the city to the north of the city, and ran all over the city's large and small medicinal herb shops. The hard work paid off, and I finally got a little news about the thousand-year-old medicinal materials.

According to an old man, some time ago, Dai Xiahu, the richest man in the city, purchased a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from other places. But that was two months ago, and now it is very likely that Dai Xia Hu made tea and drank it, after all, people have a lot of money, and it is impossible to keep a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum as an heirloom.

Chen Rui walked on the bustling street and looked up at the position of the sun, it was still early. Chen Rui didn't have anything to do now, so he was going to go to Dai Xiahu, the richest man in Fengming City, to ask if there was any leftover of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, not to mention half a small one, even if it was the size of a thumb, Chen Rui just used it as a medicine primer.

The heavy gate, the vermilion brick wall, the cyan glazed tile... All this shows the wealth and generosity of the owner's family.

Chen Rui stubbornly walked to the gate of Dai Xiahu's mansion, this sudden visit, nine times out of ten, it would not work, but he still pulled the beast ring on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock"

"Who?" said the servant of the Dai family, poking his head out and looking unkind. Just now he was pretending to sleep on the recliner behind the door, surrounded by beautiful people in his dream, and full of wine, but just as he was about to enter the main play, he was woken up by Chen Rui's knock on the door, which disturbed his dream of wearing Gui.

In front of him was a young man in plain clothes, with a smile on his face, and he was not a wealthy and noble family at first glance. Looking at the soil bun in front of him, Dai Gui became more and more confident in his heart, and immediately scolded:

"In broad daylight, what are you doing knocking on the door so hard? If you have something to say, let go quickly, I still have important things to do, and I can't afford to spend it with you. ”

Chen Rui was stupid, this servant of the Dai family didn't say a word, it was just a scolding that cut his head and covered his face, which was three points more powerful than the county master in the temple. However, Chen Rui suppressed the anger in his heart and arched his hand: "I have something to ask to see your master, and I hope to announce it." ”

Chen Rui's forbearance further fueled Dai Gui's arrogance, and he immediately made a conclusion with his years of experience as a gatekeeper. This young man is estimated to be a liar in the rivers and lakes, deliberately pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, and then taking the opportunity to say that he is a distant relative of the master, and his family is in difficulty or something. He opened his mouth to ask for money, this kind of person, he has seen a lot.

"Hurry up and get out, are we Master Dai a porter on the side of the road? You can see you when you say it, you think it's the same as you, it's okay to flash the egg and get a little money around." Hurry up and get out, don't wait for my mother to call someone, and then your dog's legs will be discounted. Dai Gui spoke viciously to each other, not allowing Chen Rui to interject at all, and immediately closed the door to thank customers.

"Wait!" Chen Rui grabbed the door and took out a silver coin: "Don't worry, I do have something to do with Master Dai, as long as you help me bring the words, this silver coin is yours." Chen Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, he had to take out money to tempt this guy, otherwise he could only return in vain.

Sure enough, Dai Gui, who had just returned the order, immediately changed his attitude after seeing the silver coin in Chen Rui's hand: "It's okay to do this a long time ago, what do you have to say, say it quickly, I'll bring it to you." He snatched the silver coin from Chen Rui's hand, as if he was afraid that Chen Rui would regret it.

Chen Rui glanced at Dai Gui, who was biting the silver coin, and said, "You just tell Master Dai that if someone wants to buy the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, you don't need all of them, just the size of your thumb." ”

"Is that all? Is there anything else? As soon as I close the door, you will have to pay more if you want to talk about it. Dai Gui, who fell in the eyes of money, reminded him unprecedentedly, because he felt that the owner who could afford the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum must be a rich family. Although the kid in front of him was dressed ordinarily, it could be that the servant of a noble family was not, so he spoke full, so as not to make the other party's master angry and implicate himself in the future.

"That's all, I'm sorry for you. Chen Rui said that it was all.

"Bang", the door closed fiercely again.

Dai Gui, who is also a person, the janitor of Dai Xiahu's family, is the lowest servant. How could he see Master Dai, he was just pretending just now. He took the money, whether the matter could be done or not, whether he brought the words or not, as long as the door was closed, no one knew. He only needs to drink a cup of tea on a chair, blow the wind and bask in the sun, and wait for a quarter of an hour. Then he said that the old man had something to do and was not at home for the time being, could the young man outside the door still have a see-through eye and know that he was lying on a chair grinding foreign workers? As for whether Chen Rui was a servant of a rich family or not, he didn't care, and when the time came, he would excuse himself with the steward, and Chen Rui would be dressed ordinarily and think he was a liar. With his relationship with the steward, there must be no big problem, after all, he can entrust himself with the easiest work among the inferior servants, which is enough to show that his relationship with the steward is very iron.

It's a pity that Dai Gui's abacus was wrong, the young man outside this door was a monk who had awakened his spiritual sense, and he really had a "perspective eye" as he said.

"This Nima, actually hiding behind the door to bask in the sun, took my silver for nothing, hateful watchdog!" Chen Rui opened his long-term spiritual sense, "watched" Dai Gui's every move clearly, and kept cursing this person in his heart.
