24. Medicinal Herbs Market

Calculating the time, Jiang Xiaofan finished his work, his mind turned, and his figure appeared in the rental room. Looking at the sky, it was dawn. I picked up my phone and looked at it, and found that there were several missed calls. Click on it to take a look, all of them are Lin Meiyu's call prompts. Jiang Xiaofan thought about it and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. I guess I didn't return all night, so my mother called to check the post. It was the same the night before, a few missed calls, all of them were hers.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Xiaofan decided to call later, after all, it was only 6 o'clock, and they might not have woken up yet.

Jiang Xiaofan combed through his mind, picked up the pen and wrote down the prescriptions for pills such as the Cleansing Pill and the Quenching Pill, looked at some medicinal materials on the paper, and smiled bitterly. No, there are a lot of medicinal materials that are completely absent on the earth, like some dragon tendon and phoenix marrow; even if there are medicinal materials on the earth, according to the concentration of spiritual energy here, the medicinal power is estimated to be unsatisfactory; and the two interfaces, the civilizations are different, and the medicinal materials in the fairy world don't know if they are connected with the medicinal materials on the earth, which is also a problem. Everything has to be seen at the herb center to be sure.

The time has come to 7 o'clock in a blink of an eye, and there is another half an hour to start the class morning reading, Jiang Xiaofan got up, put on his clothes and school bag, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lin Meiyu's phone.

"Hey, where are you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Lin Meiyu's eager voice came.

"I'm near the school, I rented a house and slept in the rented room last night. Jiang Xiaofan said calmly.

"Oh, oh, that's good! I'm worried to death, why don't you tell your mother about such a big thing. ”

"After finding the house last night, I felt very tired, took a shower and went to bed early, and I didn't have time to tell you. Don't worry, I'm fine! Without further ado, I'm almost at school. After speaking, Jiang Xiaofan hung up the phone and bought breakfast.

Unless there is a hint of surprise, life in school is the same, and between classes and classes, the day passes.

After school in the afternoon, Jiang Xiaofan packed his schoolbag and was about to leave, when Liu Qing came to him.

"Jiang Xiaofan, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Liu Qing?" Jiang Xiaofan looked at Liu Qing strangely. "I've got something to do. Are you looking for me?"

"I can't look for you if it's okay!" Liu Qing rolled her eyes. "Besides, so much homework has not been completed yet, and I don't know what year and month it will take to catch up with the learning progress according to the recess time. Why don't you study on your own at night, and let's do your homework together?" After speaking, Liu Qing's face turned red, lowered her head, and secretly wondered if she had officially asked him out.

"Ahh "Just kidding, with such a lot of time at night, I definitely have to cultivate, wasting time in school, this Xianjun must have his head caught in the door to do this kind of thing.

"Hey, don't go!" Liu Qing saw that Jiang Xiaofan was puzzled, and stamped his feet hatefully, and somehow, his body involuntarily followed Jiang Xiaofan.

In the taxi, Jiang Xiaofan and Liu Qing stared at each other, their four eyes were facing each other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while. After a long time, Jiang Xiaofan slowly spoke: "Why did you come with you?"

"Come and supervise you, see what bad things you do!" Liu Qing glared at Jiang Xiaofan fiercely, and couldn't help pinching Jiang Xiaofan's arm.

"Shhh

"Nonsense, isn't it true that serious things should be studied hard in school. How did you get to the herb market?"

Jiang Xiaofan looked at Liu Qing like an idiot, and secretly slandered: My business is your kind of business! Let's not talk about this, this chick follows me out like this, isn't she afraid that I will abduct her! Although he thought like this in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Forget it, since they are all here, let's go buy medicinal materials together." ”

"What are you buying herbs for? Are you sick, or are you someone else sick?"

"......" Jiang Xiaofan was silent, he really couldn't parry Liu Qing's baby.

More than 40 minutes passed, and the taxi came to the largest medicinal herb trading market in G City. Jiang Xiaofan and Liu Qing got out of the car and stood on the side of the street, looking at the dazzling array of shops.

"Let's go, let's go find something to eat. Jiang Xiaofan said lightly, taking the lead in the medicinal materials market.

"Oh, wait for me!" Liu Qing replied, obediently followed, and followed behind Jiang Xiaofan like a good baby.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Xiaofan turned around and asked Liu Qing, secretly complaining in his heart: It's really troublesome, if it's yourself, you can go directly to find medicinal materials, how can you go to find food first.

"Whatever!"

"Then let's go to the western restaurant in front of us for a meal. ”

"Hmm!"

When I came to the restaurant, I found a random place to sit down, and the two of them ordered. Jiang Xiaofan flipped through the menu casually and came directly to the New Zealand steak. Liu Qing looked for a while and ordered a portion of spaghetti and a portion of mango ice cream.

While waiting for the meal, Liu Qing looked at Jiang Xiaofan and said, "Speaking of which, this is the second meal you invited me after we met." ”

"Well, yes. Jiang Xiaofan recalled for a while, and it was the same in the image. Since we first met in high school, I haven't talked much, let alone come out together and eat together.

"You...... Do you have something on your mind?" Liu Qing looked at Jiang Xiaofan's contemplative appearance and asked cautiously.

"Huh?

"You ......" Liu Qing was about to say more, when the waiter happened to bring the food they ordered. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofan picked up the fork and ate it. Seeing this, Liu Qing had nothing to say for a while, and then immediately ate spaghetti.

After eating, Jiang Xiaofan paid the bill. The two walked out of the restaurant and walked straight into the medicinal herb shop.

"Boss, do you have these medicinal herbs here?" Jiang Xiaofan handed the paper to the middle-aged man on the other side of the counter.

"Hmm...... Let me see, ginseng, notoginseng, astragalus, angelica, wolfberry, yang ginseng, keel grass...... Hmm? What did this keel grass come from? I haven't heard of the name, but I've heard of chicken bone vine. The middle-aged man took the paper and compared the medicinal herbs one by one, and found that some of the medicinal herbs had never heard of their names.

"Oh, it's okay if you don't, you can take some and see them, and if it's good, I'll buy some. Jiang Xiaofan didn't care, anyway, he had long known that the medicinal materials at the two interfaces would be different, and now he could raise as much as he could, with Jiang Xiaofan's alchemy experience and knowledge, there were alternatives that could be used to refine the pill.

"Okay, wait a minute. The middle-aged man replied cheerfully, and quickly took out a variety of different medicinal materials from the pharmacy cabinet.

Jiang Xiaofan picked up a handful of medicinal materials, felt the medicinal materials carefully, then put them down, and shook his head: "Boss, these medicinal materials are not natural, and the medicinal power is insufficient." Do you have any natural herbs here?"

"What are you talking about! The medicinal herbs in my store are all grown and picked by yourself, and you dare to say that they are not natural! You are deliberately making trouble, right?" The middle-aged man was furious, and his voice unconsciously increased a few points.

"Boss, don't get excited. The herbs I want are preferably vintage herbs from deep mountains and old forests, not such artificially cultivated herbs. If you don't have one, I'll look for it at the next one. Jiang Xiaofan's divine sense swept over and found that there was no aura fluctuation in this shop, knowing that there were no medicinal materials he wanted here, and left without looking back.

Liu Qing followed behind Jiang Xiaofan, constantly aiming at the paper in Jiang Xiaofan's hand out of the corner of her eyes, and didn't notice that Jiang Xiaofan had stopped for a while, and hit Jiang Xiaofan's back headlong. "Ahh

"Are you interested in this piece of paper?" Jiang Xiaofan ignored Liu Qing's anger and raised the paper in his hand.

"I'm curious, what are you buying these herbs for. ”

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaofan rolled his eyes, and asked such an obvious question, whether he was an idiot.

"Are you really sick?"

"Auntie, where do I look like I'm sick! Don't look at my head, my head must be normal!" Jiang Xiaofan wanted to cry without tears.

"If you are not sick or in pain, what are you buying medicinal herbs for?" Liu Qing asked after Jiang Xiaofan.

"I'm going to use these herbs. Anyway, it's not a cure, hey, how to put it. I can't tell you for a while. Forget it, don't ask, you don't know. Jiang Xiaofan began to slurred his speech, and prayed in his heart that the girl would not ask this question again.

Hmm? Jiang Xiaofan's heart moved, and he actually sensed a trace of fluctuation in his aura. The divine sense immediately let go, looking for the source of the aura, and the body couldn't help but turn to a shop on the street.

Liu Qing, who was about to ask again, was stunned when she saw Jiang Xiaofan suddenly walking towards a shop, and then followed.

Jiyuan Hall, Jiang Xiaofan stood in front of the store, perceiving carefully. Well, the source of the aura seems to be here, but I don't know what kind of medicinal herb it is.

Jiang Xiaofan pushed the door in and went straight to the counter of Chinese herbal medicines. I found a ginseng plant that was more than 10 years old on display on the counter.

Jiang Xiaofan didn't expect to find the real medicinal materials directly as soon as he came in, which was a bit of a big surprise.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" asked Jiang Xiaofan politely in a sweet voice.

"Take this ginseng and take a look. Jiang Xiaofan pointed to ginseng.

"No, sir, this wild ginseng is the treasure of the store, and it is not easy to show it to customers. Please forgive me!" the sales lady smiled professionally and politely rejected Jiang Xiaofan's request.

"I'll buy it!"

"The price of this ginseng is 99,988 yuan, are you sure you want to buy it?"

Jiang Xiaofan gasped, although he expected the high value of the heavenly treasure, and knew in his heart that the money in his pocket was not enough to buy it now, but when he actually heard it, he couldn't help but marvel.

"Keep it! I'll buy it later. Jiang Xiaofan no longer struggled with this ginseng, raised his hand and handed the paper to the sales lady, "Take out the medicinal materials on it and let me see it, if it's good, I'll buy it." ”

"Okay. The sales lady took the paper, but she didn't laugh at Jiang Xiaofan's embarrassment, and carefully compared the medicinal materials, showing good professionalism.

"Sir, there are some medicinal herbs that I haven't seen before. ”

"It's okay, take what you have!"

After a while, the sales lady displayed the medicinal herbs on the counter. Jiang Xiaofan picked up a handful at random, sensed it carefully, and shook his head. "Are there any wild ones?"

"It seems that the gentleman is an expert. There are wild ones, but they are much more expensive. ”

"It's okay, take it out. ”

"Wait a minute!" the sales lady turned and went to a small house at the back of the shop, and after a while, took out a wooden box. "These are the wild herbs you need. ”

Jiang Xiaofan opened the wooden box and sighed slightly, although it is wild, but the aura is too little, almost nothing, but it is better than nothing. "I want it, price!"

"Okay, wait a minute!" the sales lady quickly sorted the medicinal materials, put them on the electronic balance and weighed them, and pressed them quickly with the computer in her hand.

"Sir, these medicinal herbs total 9681.50 yuan. Credit card or cash, please?"

"Swipe your card!"

After swiping the card to pay, Jiang Xiaofan went to the medicinal herb market again and walked until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, visiting all the large and small shops in the medicinal herb market. Jiang Xiaofan looked at the bags of medicinal materials in his hand, shook his head and smiled slightly bitterly, just these medicinal materials, they have all gone to Jiang Xiaofan for nearly 40,000 yuan, and the quality of the medicinal materials is not satisfactory.

"Beauty, it's so late, where are you going?" Jiang Xiaofan turned back to his little follower Liu Qing and said.

"Back at school, I'm a boarding student. Liu Qing glared at Jiang Xiaofan fiercely, and said angrily, hating him for wandering around with him, and now his feet are sore.

"Oh, let's go together. Jiang Xiaofan automatically skipped Liu Qing's anger, stretched out his hand leisurely, and stopped a taxi. Hmph, let you follow me, I'm tired of you! Jiang Xiaofan smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

"Master, Forty-six Middle School!" Jiang Xiaofan took the lead in getting into the taxi and said the destination to the driver. Although Liu Qing was resentful, she could only follow the car.

“...... Aren't you going home?" After the car drove for a while, Liu Qing asked Jiang Xiaofan softly.

"No, I rented a house outside. Jiang Xiaofan counted the medicinal materials in the car and replied casually.

"Are you renting a house?" Liu Qing wondered. "Why wouldn't it be better to rent an apartment, live on campus or go home?"

"It's nothing, it's convenient!" Jiang Xiaofan sorted the medicinal materials one by one according to his own method and packed them up.

There was no word all the way, and the car arrived at the gate of No. 46 Middle School safely.

"You go back first!" Jiang Xiaofan watched Liu Qing walk towards the school gate, smiling and waving his hand.

Liu Qing stood at the school gate, her hands stirring the corners of her clothes, her face flushed. Then he suddenly lowered his hands and shouted, "Jiang Xiaofan, can I go to your house to play?" As if realizing that something was wrong, without waiting for a response, he turned around and trotted towards the dormitory building.

Jiang Xiaofan was stunned, unable to figure out what this little beauty wanted to do. Forget it, ignore her. Jiang Xiaofan shook his head and turned around and walked towards the rented apartment.
