Chapter 13 Expensive Medicinal Materials

Pang Xie followed the snack street all the way to the north, but it was only a twenty-minute walk to an alley called the Medicine King Cave.

The ancient city of Chang'an has a long history.

Although Yaowang Cave is an alley, the historical origin is not shallow, in the early Tang Dynasty, "Medicine King" Sun Simiao had stayed in this place, for Tang Taizong Li Shimin to diagnose and treat diseases, "Medicine King" Sun Simiao left, the imperial court in order to reward the merits of "Medicine King", then built a Medicine King Temple here to commemorate.

As for why the Yaowang Temple was renamed "Yaowang Cave" again, that's another story.

It is said that the "King of Medicine" Sun Simiao not only has medical skills, but also a Taoist method is the top of the world, and later when he revisited the old place, with the help of the imperial city here, he opened up a "Medicine King Cave" here, which was respected by the practitioners of the world, and this place was renamed "Medicine King Cave".

The world is changing like flowing water, thousands of years of time are easy to pass, and now Mo said that the "Yaowang Cave" has disappeared, and even the Yaowang Temple has been diverted for other purposes, and there is no return to the old view.

There are many pharmacies near Yaowangdong, but in just a few minutes away, Pang Xie saw three or four pharmacies, and after a little thought, he chose the largest one of them - Xinglin Pharmacy (Yaowangdong Store).

Pang Xie stepped into the store, and the shopping guide in the store greeted her, this is a girl about twenty years old, with short hair to her ears, refreshing and capable, and said with a sweet smile: "Sir, what do you want to buy?"

"Just take a look. Pang Xie said, he planned to see the quality of the herbs first, and then make plans.

The short-haired girl smiled slightly and followed behind Pang Xie, neither urging nor moving away.

Pang Xie took a few steps to the front of the medicine shelf, lowered his head and swept away the medicines on the shelf, "levoibuprofen", "ribavirin", "flunarizine hydrochloride", "cefradine", "cefradine", ......

He couldn't help but be stunned, he knew all the words on the pill box, but after getting together, he couldn't understand a single word.

"Could it be that this pharmacy sells other things?"

Pang Xie secretly wondered, and turned his head to change to a medicine shelf, which was the same as the medicine shelf just now, still something in the clouds.

"May I ask what is wrong with you?" asked the short-haired girl.

"Do you have medicine for sale in your store?" asked Pang Xie, turning his head.

"These are all ah. ”

"Huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about ginseng, bezoar, tiger bones, and so on. ”

"Ah, Mr. is talking about traditional medicinal materials, we have two floors here, the first floor is modern medicinal materials, and the second floor is traditional medicinal materials, but, in addition, the ginseng, skullcap, and bezoar are available at the counter on the second floor, as for the tiger bones, we have no inventory here, the tiger is a national protected animal, and now the major pharmacies are not selling. The short-haired girl patiently explained.

"Okay, take me to the second floor. ”

......

There is a booth in the middle of the second floor, there are some colorful health care products on the booth, there is a row of traditional Chinese medicine cabinets against the north wall, there is a piece of paulownia wood on the counter, a small brass scale, but there is no one behind the counter, only a half-hidden glass door, the glass door comes from a strong medicinal fragrance, it seems that someone is decocting medicine.

"Mr. Lei, this gentleman wants to buy medicine. The short-haired girl shouted at the door.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right out!"

A moment later, a young man in his twenties walked out from behind the glass door, with short hair parted sideways, half-rimmed glasses, and a white coat, quite a scholarly temperament.

This person's name is Lei Yusheng, and he is the sitting doctor of this pharmacy, who just graduated from Chang'an Medical University last year and studied traditional medicine.

Lei Yusheng nodded at Pang Xie, took off his disposable rubber gloves, and said with a smile: "Fang Zi show me." ”

"Oh... No. ”

"No way? That's not good. ”

"I said you just catch it. ”

"That's not possible, our business is to catch medicine according to the prescription, and I don't dare to sell it without a prescription. ”

"I also know medical skills, you can catch it with confidence. ”

"It's no joke!" Thunderstorm had a suspicious look in his eyes.

"You can give it a try. ”

"How do you try this? I can't make a paper on the spot..."The thunderstorm scratched his head

"You can name a few medicinal herbs, I can tell the medicinal properties. ”

"Huh?"

"You say it is. ”

"Windproof. ”

"The taste is spicy, sweet, and slightly warm. ”

"Atractylodes. ”

"The taste is bitter and warm, the main wind is cold and damp and paralyzes dead muscles, spasms, stops sweating, removes heat, eliminates food, and is used as bait. Wear it for a long time and prolong your life, and you won't be hungry. ”

"Heavy building. ”

"Bitter, slightly cold, with a little poison, heat injury camp yin vomit blood evidence is contraindicated. ”

"Akaishi Grease..."

"Sweet, sour, astringent, warm, astringent, hemostasis, muscle-building sores. ”

"Mr. Lei, it seems that this handsome guy does understand medical skills, so you can prescribe medicine. The short-haired girl said.

"Okay, what do you need?" Seeing Pang Xie's answer, the thunderstorm was much more relieved.

"One pound of musk, one pound of codonopsis, one pound of Sichuan fritillary, one pound of pangolins, one pound of saffron, one pound of deer antler velvet, three hundred and seventy-one pounds..."

Pang Xie casually reported the medicinal herbs he needed, but he didn't notice the sound of the thunderstorm and the short-haired girl's mouth opening wider and wider.

"Are you sure you want to buy so much?" asked Lei Yusheng with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" asked Ponche.

"You're using too much," Thunderstorm shook his head with a wry smile.

Huaguo traditional medicine is very particular about the use of medicinal materials, the medicinal materials are used in accordance with the "monarch and ministers", the amount of various medicinal materials is different, some medicinal materials are quite large, and some medicinal materials are very small, such as musk, saffron, deer antler velvet and the like, the dosage is slightly more will be empty and not replenished, and there is never a reason to buy medicine by catty.

Of course, Pang Xie had already embarked on the path of cultivation, and after the medicinal power of the mortal world entered the body, it would naturally turn into wisps of aura, and there would never be a situation where the void could not be replenished.

"It's okay, you just open it, I have my own measure. Ponsie said.

Lei Yusheng frowned and said, "Sir, there are two things I have to say in advance, one is that there are too many medicinal materials, and there are not so many stocks in the store, and the other is that these medicinal materials are expensive, so I have to quote a price to you first." ”

"How much?"

"I've probably calculated it, almost 300,000. ”

"Three hundred thousand?" Pang Xie frowned, it wasn't a small amount.

His current monthly salary is almost five or six thousand, and he only has sixty or seventy thousand yuan a year, and it will take about five or six years to make up 300,000 yuan, which is a bit too long.

......

Ponsei was silent.

The thunderstorm does not urge, 300,000 is not a small transaction, very few people buy so many at one time, most of the people who can buy so many medicinal materials are experts, and they will not come here to buy medicine, but choose the wholesale market of medicinal materials.

The short-haired girl smiled and said, "Sir, the quality of the medicinal materials we have here is the best, although the price is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for." Of course, if you don't have so much cash, you can buy some of it first and try it out, and if you feel good, you can come back to pick up the goods another day. ”

Pang Xie nodded slightly, what the girl said was also a solution, and said at the moment: "Then buy a pair of medicines first." ”

"Sir, you say. "There was no impatience in the thunderstorm.

"One tael of deer antlers, three seven two taels, saffron..."

Pang Xie planned to make up a full amount of tonic soup first, of course, because of the secret prescription, he falsely reported the two flavors of medicinal materials, and the prescription used by cultivators was different from that of mortals, and ordinary people would die if they took it rashly.

Lei Yusheng took an abacus, tossed the abacus beads casually, and after Pang Xie finished reporting the medicinal materials, he immediately said: "A total of nine thousand six hundred and twenty-three yuan, all of which are in stock in the store, do you need me to wrap them for you?"

Pang Xie tattooed between his eyebrows, he didn't expect that such a little medicinal material would be 10,000 yuan smaller, which was much out of his budget, but if it was less, he wouldn't be able to make up even a pair of medicinal materials, then it would be useless.

"Forget it. Ponsei shook his head and turned to walk downstairs.

......

Leaving the Xinglin Pharmacy, Pang Xie strolled through the alleys, the dappled sunlight shining on the ground, like gold bricks in his eyes.

He now finally understood why the reputation of the immortal method of "turning stones into gold" was so great, in the past, he felt that this kind of spell was neither helpful for cultivation, nor could it protect the Dharma and defend the Dao, and it was of no practical use, until today he realized that it was completely a mistake.

He is a demon cultivator, he has always practiced alone, never rolling in the red dust, so he doesn't understand the importance of money, if he is an ordinary person, he will be told by the teacher when he enters the importance of "wealth and land law".

The so-called "wealth and land couple" is actually a necessary condition for cultivation, among them, the first is "wealth", life in the world has to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, only a steady supply of money, in order to make people have no worries, buy a variety of precious medicinal materials. The second is the "earth", if you are practicing in the downtown of Hongchen, someone will disturb you today, and someone will come to the door tomorrow, how can you concentrate, only by finding a secluded place, can you cultivate with peace of mind without distractions. If you can't cultivate the law, you will only be full of great truths, and a hundred years of cultivation is just a dream bubble, and the word immortality is just a moon in the water. Finally, there is the "couple", the road of cultivation, the road is long and obstructive, it is difficult to travel far alone, and one more person communicates, one more help, one more hope for longevity.

When Pang Xie was at the bottom of Jinshan Lake, he was born and raised, no need to use money, the lake was secluded, and he was also considered to have land, and he had the inheritance of "Xuangong Tips", and there was no shortage of law, plus he was used to being a monster, and he didn't need to be accompanied by Taoist companions, so he didn't feel anything about these four words.

He has now cultivated into a human body, and if he wants to roll in the red dust, sooner or later he will have to deal with these four words, and what he encounters today is only a small difficulty, if even this difficulty cannot be solved, the path of cultivation is only afraid that the future will be worrying.

In the past, he only knew that human beings were naturally intelligent, and it was thousands of times easier to practice than monsters, but he didn't know that human beings also had human difficulties.

Pang Xie found an ATM on the side of the road, checked it, and found that the balance in the card was 6,132 yuan, ranging from odds and rounds, and there was a difference of more than 3,000 yuan from the cheapest pair of medicinal herbs.

This amount of money is not much, and it is not difficult to solve it, first find Zhang Fatzi to borrow some, and then pay him back after the next month's salary is paid, or wait until the next month's salary is paid.

Pang Xie shook his head slightly, these two methods are not good ideas, it takes a lot of time, but they can only solve the problem of a pair of medicinal materials, and it is not of great use, if you want to really solve the problem of medicinal materials, you still have to think of ways to make money.

It's just that he is new to life, so how can he make money?
