Volume 1 The Adventures of a Teenager Chapter 53 Buying Medicine
Shen Qi glanced at the old man in surprise, and secretly met the master again. Then he bent down respectfully and arched his hand: "The owner of the village is fine." Dare to ask the seniors who are ......"
The old man smiled and said, "A farmer's ear in the mountains!"
Shen Qi was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Young man, I think you need some back of the house, baiqi, and wattle skin. The old man said lightly.
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, these are three kinds of medicinal materials. So he spoke: "Can the predecessors have these three elixirs?"
The old man laughed and said, "Elixir? That's just the most common medicinal material." But I don't have it here, you can go over there. ”
As he spoke, the old man pointed to a stall not far away.
Shen Qi thanked him, and was just about to leave, when he immediately thought of something, turned around and said, "I don't know what dosage is needed for these three flavor medicinal materials, and what are the taboos?"
The old man looked up at Shen Qi and said, "The dose can be large or small, those who need more will naturally use more, and those who need less will use less." There are no taboos, but you have to hear clearly......"
The old man looked straight and said, "The morning dew grass behind the house should be used behind the house; Baiqi only uses leaves, not fruits; and the vitex bark is invalid for less than three years." ”
Shen Qi silently repeated it and thanked him.
The old man waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Shen Qi to leave.
Shen Qi silently repeated the old man's words, and then he heard the old man greeting the guests again.
"Madame, what do you want to buy?"
Shen Qi subconsciously glanced back and saw that there was only a slightly chubby middle-aged man in front of the stall, and there was no lady.
Shen Qi shook his head with a smile, and said secretly: It must be that he was memorizing the old man's words just now and heard it wrong.
Shen Qi didn't think about it, and walked quickly to the stall that the old man pointed to earlier.
The owner of the stall is a middle-aged man, and he is also dressed as a mountain man.
"Guest, take a look, it's all fresh medicinal herbs. ”
Shen Qi nodded, thinking back to the old man's words, and said, "I want the morning dew grass, white qi leaves, and wattle bark that are more than three years old behind the Yin Mansion. ”
The big man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "The guest is an expert! This is preparing to temper the body, right?" ”
Easy tendon bone broth?
Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart, he knew that he had really picked up the treasure this time.
Shen Qi couldn't help but nodded, and asked with some eagerness, "Do you have these medicinal materials?"
Dahan pondered for a moment and said, "I have Baiqi leaves and wattle bark here, but I don't have the grass behind the house for the time being. ”
Shen Qi couldn't help but feel a little lost.
The big man said with a smile: "It's not the right time for you to come! The grass you want behind the house is the morning dew grass behind the house, and it must be picked early in the morning to have dew, which is almost evening, so naturally there is none." ”
Shen Qi couldn't help but slap his head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
Dahan said: "Guest, you know the recipe for this easy tendon and bone soup, so you also know the cooking method, right?"
Shen Qi shook his head.
The big man smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, it's just three bowls of water fried into one bowl, and you can serve it while it's hot." ”
Shen Qi nodded, and said secretly: It turns out that this Yi Muscle Forging Bone Soup is so easy! Judging from the reaction of this big man, it should not be a particularly profound thing, and a man in the mountains who sells medicine knows it, so it should be a recipe that has been widely circulated! But how could Yingxue Mountain Villa not have it? This stuffed Yunzhou is not far from Bailuya......
Without waiting for Shen Qi to think about it, Dahan handed a large bag of medicinal materials to Shen Qi and said, "A total of eighty texts." ”
"Eight...... Eighty Wen?" Shen Qi was completely shocked.
This kind of medicinal material that can temper the body is actually ...... It's only eighty!?
And the Zhu Guo that our Holy Son uses once a month is worth a thousand gold, and the medicinal herbs I got from the Twenty-Seven Rest House are worth ten thousand gold?
Shen Qi felt that everything was so unreal.
It seems that our Yingxue Mountain Villa is not only a waste, it is simply an extreme luxury! Violent destruction of heavenly things! Miserable! Miserable! Miserable!
Shen Qi was shouting frantically in his heart.
Dahan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Our medicinal materials are very fresh, so they may be a little more expensive......"
It's a little more expensive......
It's a little more expensive......
Shen Qi took a sharp breath, then hurriedly grabbed the big man's hand and said, "No, I'm just a little emotional." You...... You let me slow down!"
After slowing down a little, Shen Qi took out the fifty-tael denomination silver ticket that Jiu'er had given him earlier, and handed it over under the surprised and dull gaze of the big man.
"Guest...... I can't find it. The big man's face was full of sadness.
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little worried.
At this time, Jiu'er, who was secretly observing Wan Lejing, came over.
Shen Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly waved his hand at Jiu'er.
"What's the matter, not enough money?" said Jiu'er with a smile.
"Uh...... There is no change. Shen Qi said truthfully.
"How much?" Jiu'er didn't talk nonsense, and asked Dahan directly.
"Eight...... Eighty texts. "Dahan Dao.
Jiu'er frowned, flipped through the package in Shen Qi's hand, and then said, "Bai Qi Ye and Jing Pi? These things cost eighty wen, aren't they?"
Shen Qi felt his chest churning.
Expensive...... It's expensive...... Right?
The big man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "Girl, don't you know, the thorn skin that this son wants is more than three years old! This is a total of thirty servings, and eighty wen is not expensive!"
Jiu'er shook her head and said, "Sixty!"
Dahan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, at least seventy-five!"
"Sixty-five!" said Jiu'er.
The big man said with a bitter face: "Girl, you are too ...... In this way, let's not cut each other off, how about a compromise of seventy wen?"
Jiu'er thought for a while, and then paid the bill.
Dahan's face was a little not good-looking, but Jiu'er looked calm.
Shen Qi's eyes widened beside him.
Could it be ......
That's what it is......
Legendary - bargaining?!
Looking at Jiu'er's calm face, Shen Qi felt a sense of worship in his heart.
Jiu'er pulled Shen Qi to continue shopping, and then said, "You bought these medicinal materials because you want to boil Yi tendon and bone broth?"
"You...... You know?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Although there are many fewer people using it over the years, I still know this formula. Jiu'er said lightly: "I thought that the body forging technique of Yingxue Mountain Villa should be much higher than this." ”
Much higher than that...... Above that...... In this ...... This......
Shen Qi secretly wept in his heart, and immediately shook his head and said, "The mountain villa just uses more medicinal herbs...... Luxury, huh. ”
Jiu'er said: "Good medicinal herbs are naturally more effective. Of course, it also depends on the recipe. If only medicinal materials are forcibly piled up, I am afraid that the effect will be counterproductive. ”
Forced piling up ...... Row Stacking ...... Piled up...... Accumulate......
Shen Qi couldn't help but want to squirt out a mouthful of old blood, and said with a wry smile in his heart: I'm afraid that Yingxue Mountain Villa is a forcible accumulation of medicinal materials in your mouth......
Shen Qi slowed down for a long time, and finally didn't continue to worry about the medicinal materials.
After calming down, Shen Qi thought of something else, so he turned his head and asked, "Have you talked to Wan Lejing again?"
Jiu'er nodded and said, "Just a few casual conversations." She...... It's busy. ”
"Oh. Shen Qi replied without asking.
"But I have some guesses in my mind. Jiu'er said.
"What speculation?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid that this fake drug case is likely to be a misunderstanding. Or rather a coincidence. Jiu'er said lightly.
"What do you mean?" asked Shen Qi.
According to Wan Lejing, the Wan Leyu we knew earlier was actually Wan Leping. And Wan Leping, who was imprisoned in the county government, is the real Wan Leyu. Jiu'er explained: "In this way, it is not Wan Leping but Wan Leyu who is in charge of the trading of medicinal materials. Therefore, it was Wan Leyu who received the poisoned ginseng and sold it. ”
Shen Qi was a little stunned, scratched his head, and said, "A little dizzy." ”
Jiu'er smiled and said, "To put it simply, there is a secret hidden in Wanjia. A secret about why Wan Leyu and Wan Leping's identities were exchanged, and Wan Lejing, who knew the truth about his brother's identity, was sent to the secret of Lingshan Temple. ”
Shen Qi thought for a moment and said, "In other words...... All families know the truth?"
Jiu'er shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case." I guess the only one who knows the truth is Wan Chengye, the head of the family. ”
"Wan family master?" Shen Qi thought for a while and said, "Then what should we do now?"
Jiu'er shook her head and said, "Now that Wan Leyu has entered the county prison, this matter should have been carried out as some people think." In other words, this matter has actually come to an end. Let's finish this elixir conference first. When I go back in the evening, I will visit Wanjia again. I have a hunch that this secret of the Wan family will not be hidden for long. ”
Shen Qi nodded, although there were still some doubts in his heart, but he was no longer entangled.
"This counterfeit drug case is just a grind at best," Jiu'er said, "I will make as few decisions as possible in the future, and your task is to try to find out the truth of the counterfeit drug case." ”
Shen Qi couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "What do you mean...... Let me find out about this?"
Jiu'er smiled: "This is your introductory task, isn't it?"
Shen Qi nodded, and then muttered two more sentences in a low voice: "Obviously, I said that I assisted you at the beginning...... Now how did it become that I went to find the truth......"
"What, not happy?" Jiu'er raised her eyebrows.
Shen Qi hurriedly shook his head, and then hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I was actually curious about one thing from the beginning: why is the elixir conference held in the afternoon? Obviously, most of the herbs are picked early in the morning to buy and sell. ”
The corners of Jiu'er's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't break Shen Qi's careful thoughts, but smiled mysteriously and said, "I really know the reason for this matter, but I'll keep it secret now!"
Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, a little incredulous.
You didn't know about the Elixir Conference before, but today you came to the Lingshan Temple with me, where and when did you know about it?
Shen Qi pursed his lips and turned his head.
"Yo, are you angry?" Jiu'er said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but if I say it, there will be no suspense!
Shen Qi thought about it, it seemed to be the case.
But when you think about it, it seems a little suspicious.
"It won't be...... You don't know the reason at all, do you?" Shen Qi squinted.
"You...... You're talking nonsense! I just asked Wan Lejing, how could I not know!" Jiu'er said this, but her face turned red suspiciously.
Shen Qi nodded, not doubting him.
After a while, the sky gradually darkened, but everyone's expressions became a little excited.
Shen Qi couldn't help but be puzzled.
