Chapter 20: Pharmaceuticals

Early in the morning, west of the city.

A small mountain village is located at the foot of a hill twenty miles west of the county seat. The hill is nameless, and the elevation is not very high, but a small stream meanders down to a low-lying area next to the village to form a lake, and then flows forward into a distant branch of the Turbulent River, and finally returns to the Turbulent River.

The name of this small village is Shanhe Village, probably because of the reason for the mountain and the lake. The name of this village, this mountain and lake has been around for a long time, and the specific time is no longer known, anyway, it has been called down from generation to generation.

Because Shanhe Village is close to the mountain and the lake, the livelihood of the villagers in the village is related to this. Or go into the mountains to hunt, or go down to the lake to fish. Of course, the most profitable is the collection of medicines, because the environment of this mountain is good, suitable for the growth of many medicinal materials, and the quality is good, so the medicinal materials collected from here are very popular with the pharmacies in the city. Even the largest pharmacy in the west of the city, Huichun Hall, has specially dispatched people to be stationed here to collect all kinds of herbs for many years, which can not only receive the freshest time-sensitive herbs on the spot, but also facilitate the villagers not to have to travel far. Moreover, the price of the herbs recovered by the Rejuvenation Hall is also reasonable, even if the price is slightly suppressed directly in the village, it is still higher than the price of other pharmacies in the city, so the Rejuvenation Hall is the biggest buyer here.

At this time, Li Hu, the guard who was newly sent to the village in the Huichun Hall and was responsible for counting the residence of the guards who transported the herbs. There were three people sitting around a table drinking tea and talking. One of the mighty and strong men, Li Hu, was heard to be less than sixteen years old, but he looked very specialized, and he was a head taller than Qian San, a black and thin guard of the same age, who sat next to him. But at this time, he faced a handsome young man with a respectful expression.

That young man was naturally Mo Chen. The day after secretly learning the secret medicine, that is, early this morning, he rushed outside the city to meet Li Hu and the two. The members of the Golden Scale Gang can take one day off for five days while working for the gang. You can bring it up after a while, or you don't have to rest right away, save it up and rest together. Although it is not counted when he was training in the Early Spring Academy, Mo Chen has worked for more than five days, so he can have today's time.

"How are you doing this time?Are things going well?" Seeing that there were no outsiders, Mo Chen first took a sip of the tea on the table, and then asked directly.

Qian San on the side replied seriously: "Brother Mo'er, don't worry, just like you said before." Here plus the two of us, there is also a bookkeeper, two pharmacist apprentices, a total of five. On the night when the two of us first arrived, they came to try us out, and then we were relieved. Naturally, the benefits will inevitably be shared with us. ”

Even in Mo Chen's previous life, science and technology were so developed, and the computer was so accurate in accounting calculations, it was inevitable that all kinds of kickbacks and fake accounts would happen, let alone such ancient times.

With a gentle hum as an answer, Mo Chen asked some other questions, and Qian San also answered them one by one. Li Hu next to him just picked up the bowl and drank tea in a big gulp. These things are all handled by Qian Sanyi, including secretly purchasing medicinal materials on his own, exploring the growth environment of various medicinal materials, marking them one by one against the map, and then having time to go into the mountains to pick them by himself. With a rough temperament like Li Hu, it's okay to ask him to follow and do things, but it's better to kill him if he wants to make some plans.

Mo Chen nodded as he listened, these things didn't really need to be much secretive. Even the people who used to be stationed here did it, at most to make some of the difference in the price of the herbs. Only someone like Mo Chen, who has a secret prescription, can really make huge profits. However, Mo Chen stole the prescription, not to make money, he just wanted to help the two people in front of him go further in martial arts, and it was not in vain that they had been following their friendship.

Listening to Qian San's report on what he had done during this time, Mo Chen spoke: "I have to continue to do the matter of collecting medicinal materials, I came this time, and I also brought the savings I had saved before and handed them over to you." Coupled with the silver we have sent out by the gang this month, it is enough for you to Peiyuan Realm. As for the condensing incense needed in the contemplation realm in the future, we will find a way when the time comes. ”

"But Brother Mo, since we have the secret recipe in our hands, we can produce our own medicinal power to sell, which is not only enough for the two of us, but can even make a lot of money! And we don't need to work hard to make money. Qian San wondered.

Looking at Qian San's puzzled expression, as well as the faint longing in his heart, Mo Chen replied: "The Ten Perfection Tonic Soup and Condensing Incense, although they are only auxiliary medicines for the basic Peiyuan Realm and Condensing Divine Realm to enhance cultivation. However, there are definitely not many local people who can master the formula, and there are only the two major gangs in the city on the surface, the county government of the Imperial Court Arrest Division, and the branch of the Jinyang Association of the Yuannan Mansion Commercial Bank, among which the products produced by the arrest division and the yamen are all for their own use. The other three have their own pharmacies in the city to sell, and if other forces suddenly appear in the market to sell them, they will suddenly attract the attention of the three forces. If we expose the secret recipe, the end will be terrible. So it can't be sold now. ”

"Wouldn't we be guarding Baoshan in vain and not being able to use it?" Qian San said in an unwilling tone after hearing this.

"Just not now. Mo Chen said: "On the bright side, there are only a few that can master the Ten Perfection Tonic Soup and Condensing Incense. But there are so many martial arts practitioners in the county, and the profits of these two medicines are so large, and although the prescription is a secret recipe for us, but looking at the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the slightly larger rivers and lakes forces have it. It's hard to make sure that no one sells it secretly, but we haven't touched it yet.

Even if we can't sell it in our county, we can go to other counties in the future, or even Fucheng to sell it. And we not only have these two medicines, but also gold sore medicine, antidote, and insect repellent pills, which can be used not only by people who practice martial arts, but also by other people.

If you want to make money from this in the future, there are opportunities, but you just have to endure it for now. After saying these words again, Qian San was relieved, and Mo Chen stopped the topic. Then let Qian San take out the collected medicinal materials, and Mo Chen also took out the prepared medicine scales, medicine stoves, and other various tools to start processing the medicinal materials.

Grinding, weighing, mixing, and all the other steps, Mo Chen did not avoid the two people beside him. And Mo Chen was also deliberately teaching them, for Mo Chen, if it weren't for these two partners who had been following him, there was no need to steal the secret recipe of Pei Yuan Condensing Realm, which was already useless to him. After all, Mo Chen had already crossed the Peiyuan Realm, and since he had been concentrating, the condensing incense that Jing Yu occasionally sent had not been used before entering the realm quickly.

If he could, Mo Chen would also want to ignore it and devote himself to penance, but Mo Chen was not a person with a cold temperament after all. So for the sake of the two of them, they have done a lot of things, and now they are seriously teaching them the secret recipe, so that they can have more protection. Mo Chen knew in his heart that with his current entry, several people would stand in different worlds sooner or later.
