Chapter 3 The Value of Herbal Medicine
Looking at the herbs in the medicine garden, Hu Xiaofei began to pick and choose.
Although he did not have any knowledge of pharmacology, he could not distinguish the year and type of medicinal herbs.
But for all the herbs in the space, he could accurately say the year and name, and even the medicinal properties could be clearly known.
It felt strange, like that innate ability to see an herb and all the information about it would come to mind, and of course, this ability could only be useful in his space.
I picked two ginseng sticks that looked good, put my hands in the soil, and began to dig up.
The land of the space was not as hard as he imagined, and the two ginseng roots were easily dug up by him completely.
"The condition is in good condition, no damage, good, very good, the craftsmanship is very old."
secretly praised himself, and then walked out of the medicine garden space with satisfaction.
Hu Xiaofei, who appeared in the room again, wrapped two ginseng sticks in a rag, looked at Uncle Jiu and Wencai's door closed, and it seemed that he hadn't gotten up yet, so he hurriedly walked out of the Taoist temple and came to the street.
It's already dawn at 6 o'clock in the summer, and there are already many pedestrian vendors on the streets.
Hu Xiaofei gently held the rag bag in his arms and cautiously walked towards the largest medicinal herb shop on the street.
In the lobby of the pharmacy, the doctor sitting in the clinic was writing something, and the two guys were weighing the herbs with a medicine bucket on the side, and then wrapping them.
Hu Xiaofei silently walked into the pharmacy and knocked on the counter where the doctor was sitting.
"May I ask if you accept medicinal herbs here?"
The doctor looked up and saw a young man, who said a word casually.
"Receive."
Hu Xiaofei took out a ginseng from the rag package, and then said.
"Look at how much this 60-year-old ginseng is worth."
In fact, it is a 60-year-old mountain ginseng, but it is said to be a spiritual ginseng, but it is just to raise the price.
The doctor picked up the ginseng, looked at it carefully, and said something in his mouth.
"5 5 taels of small yellow croaker. Little brother can go to other stores and ask, I definitely have the highest price here. ”
The doctor looked at it for a while and quoted the price in his heart.
"Take a closer look, I have another one here that is in the same condition as the one in your hand, and this one I want to give to Uncle Nine. Uncle Nine, you know. ”
Although he has no concept of money in this era, 5 gold bars of 5 taels must be worth a lot of money, and he doesn't know the value of ginseng, but with the golden sign of Uncle Jiu, Hu Xiaofei feels that he should not suffer too much loss.
The doctor looked at another ginseng, it was indeed in similar condition, and then heard that it was going to be given to Uncle Nine, knowing that this offer could not be too outrageous.
"I took a closer look, 8 small yellow croakers of 5 taels, you should consider whether to make a move."
Hearing the doctor's offer again, Hu Xiaofei felt that he should not suffer too much loss, so he simply nodded.
"Deal, I want 7 small yellow croaker, and the remaining one will be settled in the ocean. No problem. ”
The doctor skillfully picked up the abacus and began to calculate.
"One tael of gold for 35 oceans, five taels for a total of 175 oceans, you wait a minute, I will go and get money for you."
After the doctor had finished calculating, he hurried into the back room, and after a while, he came out with a small suitcase.
"Here are 7 small yellow croakers and 175 oceans, you can order carefully. Let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and the money and goods will be cleared, and we will not regret it later. ”
Hu Xiaofei counted the oceans, picked up a few gold bars, and bit them together, it was true.
"What the shopkeeper says, I can still trust your character, besides, just save Uncle Nine's face, you can't let my junior suffer."
Uncle Nine was taken out by Hu Xiaofei again, and the shopkeeper had to pout with a smile, but secretly cursed in his heart.
"Little Fox"
After the money and goods were cleared, Hu Xiaofei took out the prescription prescribed by Uncle Nine and let him catch the medicine for 7 days.
The shopkeeper saw that it was really Uncle Jiu's handwriting, and it seemed that it was right not to be careful, otherwise it would be a loss of reputation if Uncle Nine really came to him.
When the time comes, the advantage is not taken, and it will cause a commotion, and the wealth and reputation will be lost, so the gains outweigh the losses.
But even so, this time this ginseng can make him a lot of money. After all, the 60-year-old mountain ginseng can be regarded as a holy product in medicinal materials, and it is the second time he has seen it in his medical career after so many years.
The first time was in the mansion of the handsome man in a provincial town, and at that time all the famous doctors in the city were invited to treat the handsome old lady.
It was at that time that he saw the 60-year-old ginseng for the first time, and the quality of that ginseng was not much worse than the current one.
Grasp the medicine, the shopkeeper did not accept Hu Xiaofei's money anymore, but just placed him, if he can find precious medicinal materials in the future, he must send them over, and he will receive them at a high price when the time comes.
Hu Xiaofei nodded, and had a new understanding of the medicinal materials in the space.
If you follow the price of gold in the previous world, a gram is 400, a gold bar is 5 taels, 250 grams, it is 100,000, and 8 gold bars are converted to 800,000.
One ginseng for 800,000 yuan, no matter how you think about it, it feels very profitable.
Holding the money box along the way, carrying ginseng and the medicinal materials he bought, Hu Xiaofei walked quickly into the Taoist temple where Uncle Jiu lived.
Back at the Taoist Temple, at this time, Uncle Nine was already having breakfast with Wen Cai Qiusheng.
Seeing Hu Xiaofei walking in, Wen Cai began to speak loudly.
"I thought you kid didn't say goodbye, even if you still have a little conscience."
Uncle Nine glanced at Wen Cai and said to Hu Xiaofei with a smile.
"Little Brother Hu hasn't had breakfast yet, let's eat some together."
Hu Xiaofei didn't say anything polite to Uncle Nine, thanked him when he arrived, and then sat down and began to eat breakfast.
After eating, Wencai Qiusheng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Hu Xiaofei took out the cloth bag and handed it to Uncle Jiu.
"Uncle Nine, this is the medicinal herb I said yesterday, you can see if it is applicable."
Uncle Nine opened the cloth bag and saw the ginseng inside, and his face became solemn.
The ginseng is very fresh, it is not long after it has just been dug up, the ginseng is full, and it already has vague facial features, it is a superb mountain ginseng.
A little folded a little ginseng, and there was aura flowing inside.
Although he is very eager for ginseng, Uncle Nine has never been a person who wants to repay his kindness, and the value of this ginseng is far greater than the ghost he eliminated.
If according to normal times, as long as he is not a great traitor, after exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, the rich family will receive a maximum of 10 oceans, and when he encounters a poor family, he will also paste the talisman paper upside down.
"This ginseng is too precious for me to accept."
Although he said so, Uncle Nine really wanted this ginseng, but thinking about his small treasury, he couldn't afford it, so he could only refuse painfully.
You must know that in this era, a ploughing cow is only 5 oceans, and this ginseng can buy a small number of cows, anyway, he can't calculate it for a while.
Seeing Uncle Nine's desire to refuse, Hu Xiaofei always felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
"By the way, Uncle Nine, in fact, I dug up a total of two ginsengs, and one has been sold to Xianghe Medical Center for 8 small yellow croakers weighing 5 taels."
Uncle Nine was full of helplessness when he heard this.
"This is a tyrannical thing, such a spiritual ginseng, running into the hands of the pharmacy owner, it's really ...... It's a waste. However, although the price has suffered a little loss, it is not too outrageous. I want to have money, even if I can buy 15 small yellow croaker. ”
"In fact, the most valuable thing about this ginseng is the aura in it, pharmacies generally store the ginseng in the shade, so that the aura in it will run ninety percent of the nine, and only a little bit will be left in the ginseng, but even so, it is more valuable than the general ginseng."
After listening to Uncle Nine's words, Hu Xiaofei pushed the ginseng in front of Uncle Nine again.
"Although for Uncle Jiu, that wild ghost can be destroyed at your fingertips, but it really saved my life, I feel that my life is much more expensive than this ginseng, so you better accept it, otherwise it will make me feel uneasy."
looked at the ginseng again, but Uncle Nine still pushed it back.
"Little Brother Hu, the duty of our cultivators is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, exorcise demons and punish evil spirits, this is our way of cultivation, if you really don't want to go, leave me ten oceans, this is the highest price I can ask for, any more will damage the Dao heart."
Seeing Uncle Nine's resolute attitude, Hu Xiaofei had no choice but to take out ten pieces of ocean from the money box and put it in front of Uncle Nine.
"Uncle Jiu, I still have something I want to discuss with you, after the ghost incident, I found that this world is not as simple as I imagined, so I want to worship you as a teacher and learn the Tao, you see ......"
