After a while, the apprentice came back with a wooden plate, on which was placed a withered brown herb with white flowers of seven leaves, exactly the same as the medicinal herb described by Brother Na.

On the side, Xie Mingyu stepped forward, took the wooden plate in the hands of the apprentice who grabbed medicine, turned around and presented it to Brother Na, and asked, "Brother Cheng, please see, this is the melting frost, I don't know if it is the medicinal material you need?" ”

Brother Na was not polite, he directly reached out and grabbed the melting cream, observed it carefully, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's exactly the medicinal herb I want." Xie Gongzi is talented, thank you very much. ”

"Brother Cheng doesn't have to be polite, it's good that he didn't find the wrong medicine." Xie Mingyu had a bright smile on his face, and continued enthusiastically: "Didn't Brother Cheng just say that there are still more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials, all of which only know the appearance and efficacy, but not the name?" It's better to talk about them one by one, and after I identify the names of the medicines, I will have them all fetched for you. ”

"Oh? Is Gongzi Xie so idle? In fact, I only need to find a master for me, and Mr. Xie doesn't have to accompany him personally. Because Cheng Jingling had already said that he wanted to keep his distance from Xie Mingyu, Brother Nag directly refused Xie Mingyu's proposal.

Xie Mingyu shook his head and said: "I am the young owner of this Treasure Pavilion, and I am half the owner of the store, and it is my duty to help the guests argue and find medicine." Could it be that Brother Cheng can't believe in the next knowledge? Don't hide it from Brother Cheng, don't look at the age of the next year, but he is also a three-year-old who can read a thousand words, a five-year-old who recites the scriptures of medicine, a seven-year-old who knows a hundred herbs, and a ten-year-old who knows medicine. Nowadays, although the dispensing of medicine is not as strong as the masters who sit in the hall, it is no worse than the masters when it comes to deliberating and understanding medicine. Although Brother Cheng is relieved, let's quickly say medicine. If there is a medicine that I don't know either, it's not too late to ask the master to come out and help distinguish it. ”

Seeing that Xie Mingyu had to help, Brother Na didn't bother to say anything about this matter, and began to describe in detail the appearance and medicinal properties of the medicinal materials he needed one by one.

Not counting the frost, there are a total of twenty-six flavor medicines, of which twenty-one flavors Xie Mingyu guessed at once. Let the apprentice take out the medicine for Brother Na, and after Brother Nag, it is indeed the medicine he wants.

There are also three flavors that Xie Mingyu thought about for a while, and after reading the classics of medicine, he guessed that they were all medicines that Brother Na needed.

But in the end, there were two medicines, and Xie Mingyu really couldn't think of what kind of medicine it was.

In desperation, I could only invite Huang Baiji, the master of the North Third Street store of Zhenbao Pavilion.

Huang Baiji is an old man of about sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and hair, but he has a young face and is well maintained. After coming, he first saluted Xie Mingyu, and Xie Mingyu hurriedly returned the salute, treating him with great politeness and respect.

"One is dark brown, the adult index finger is thick and slender, the particles are densely covered with convexity, the medicinal properties are slightly hot, the smell is fishy and bitter, the entrance is numb, and eating it can nourish the stomach and promote the digestion and absorption of food? The other is a purple-red spindle-shaped plant, about seven inches long, with barbs on the edge of the leaves, mostly growing in humid and swampy areas, medicinal cold, fragrant smell, bitter and sweet in the mouth, but poisonous food, will make people's heartbeat faster, confusion, too much dose will even lead to atrial bursting and permanent brain damage, forever in a coma can not wake up? ”

Huang Baiji frowned slightly, and after repeating Brother Na's description, he pondered for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of these two medicinal herbs either. To put it mildly, I have never heard of the old man's knowledge of immersing himself in the medicinal herb industry for decades, which means that these two medicines are not available on the market at all. ”

"Meaning, don't these two herbs exist?" Brother Na frowned slightly.

Seeing that Brother Na frowned, Huang Baiji misunderstood that he was displeased, and hurriedly explained: "I said that the two-flavor medicine has never appeared on the market, not that you are lying and teasing me, little brother." It is true that there are some medicines that are only available in special areas because of their singular properties. I have seen a medicine that works wonders for treating liver and gallbladder damage, but it can only grow and survive in a special environment in a remote mountain forest, and it will quickly wither and decay within two hours after harvesting, and cannot be preserved. I mean, little brother, the two flavors of medicine you need are probably this special herb. It only circulates in a small area in some remote areas, and cannot flow into the large environmental market, and naturally no one knows about it. ”

Brother Na nodded when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he reported the appearance and traits of five new medicinal materials. Fortunately, Huang Baiji knew all these five medicinal materials, and he quickly determined the name.

Not counting the two kinds of medicinal materials that were not available, plus the five kinds of medicinal materials later, Brother Na needed as many as thirty kinds of medicinal materials.

After inquiring about the prices of medicinal materials one by one, Brother Na first calculated silently in his heart before he began to report: "Five frost plants, seven blood gentians, and three Pingyang grass ......."

This kind of thing does not need to be in charge of the hall master Huang Baiji, and the steward standing next to him hurriedly arranged for the apprentice to catch medicine for Brother Na, and he took out an abacus to settle the account. In the end, it was calculated that the total price of the medicinal materials needed by Brother Na was one hundred and seventy-six silver and forty-eight copper.

Brother Na, who had already settled the account in his heart, quietly took out two coins from his arms and handed them to the steward.

Seeing that Brother Na really took out the money, the stewards and apprentices who had been following him before and after were finally relieved.

Just when the steward took the gold coin and was about to go to find money for Brother Na, Xie Mingyu, who had been standing next to him since Huang Baiji came, suddenly said: "Erase the zero, just collect one gold." Brother Cheng and I hit it off at first sight and made friends, hoping that Brother Cheng would not refuse. ”

"No need." Brother Na shook his head and refused: "Gongzi Xie has a good intention, but one yard is one yard." When you open your door to do business, how can you lose money? Erase the change, and wipe out the forty-eight copper coins. ”

Anyway, it's not his own money, and Brother Na is not distressed at all.

Besides, the owner said in advance that if he doesn't make friends with this Xie Mingyu, it will naturally be difficult to accept other people's benefits, and don't leave any intersection at all.

In his consciousness, Cheng Jingling couldn't help it, and persuaded with some embarrassment: "Brother Nag, many friends and many roads." People are kind, or we should accept it, right? ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier? I'm done refusing them all. Didn't you just say that you are not equal to his identity, and you can't climb high, so let me stay away from him? ”

"At this time and that time, he didn't say just now that he could wipe me so much money!"

“……”

The two communicated in their consciousness, and Xie Mingyu next to him didn't seem surprised by Brother Na's refusal, but said with a light smile: "Brother Cheng is too polite, it's just a little money, whether it's for you or me, it's nothing." Don't argue about this little money anymore, and ask Brother Cheng to accept it. ”

Then, without waiting for Brother Nag to say anything, he looked at the steward waiting next to him and ordered, "Xie Dahai, why don't you hurry up and return Brother Cheng a gold?" ”

When the steward heard this, after accepting one gold, he hurriedly bent down and offered the other gold to Brother Na's hands.

Seeing this, Brother Na just took the opportunity to accept the gold, and then arched his hand at Xie Mingyu and said, "Then thank you so much, son." ”

"Brother Cheng is polite, if you don't dislike it, you can just call me by name in the future. It's always a child's call, and it's inevitably too much of an outsider. Xie Mingyu said with a smile.

"Then I'll call you Brother Mingyu."

"Hahaha, good! Bite Brother Jin! ”

“…… Well. ”

After a while, the apprentice of the medicine grabber brought over the packed bags of medicinal herbs.

Brother Na checked one by one, and after making sure that there was no problem, he said goodbye to Xie Mingyu.

rejected Xie Mingyu's proposal to go to eat and drink together, turned around and left the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
