Chapter Twenty-Seven: City-wide Procurement
Chu Qing and Jing Tang were also busy all night, ate some things casually, found an inn to live in, and each participated in the study of the Shennong Order.
The front of the Shennong Order records the specific location of the Shennong Summit, and the place can be found directly according to this, and the dense small characters on the back of it record hundreds of rare medicinal materials, and the wonderful thing is that when you point your finger on the names of those medicinal materials, you can trigger a certain spell, so as to print the characteristics and approximate origin of the medicinal materials.
With these, it is much more convenient to collect those medicinal materials, and the reason why Wang Shoucai can get so much information is probably because he has a Shennong order in his hand.
Hundreds of medicinal materials are recorded in gold and silver fonts, of which there are 20 kinds of gold fonts and more than 80 kinds of silver fonts.
Chu Qing took out the eight boxes in the lucky bag and compared them one by one, these eight medicinal materials were all recorded in silver font, which was very rare, but it was not as precious as those recorded in golden font.
Chu Qing also focused on the medicinal materials recorded in golden font, and one of them called "Han Guangzhi" caught his attention, and the description of this medicinal material had a sense of déjà vu.
Wasn't the thing that was snatched in the hands of Shi Yanseng and Zhong Zhen "Han Guangzhi"?
Chu Qing took out the jade box that had been sealed for a long time, and carefully compared it, and it was really good, so that he already had a medicinal herb recorded in a golden font and a medicinal herb recorded in eight silver fonts in his hand!
This may have already reached the standard for participating in the Shennong Summit? Chu Qing is not sure, and he still needs to find someone who understands.
After putting away the things and resting for a while, Chu Qing thought that since the Zhong family in Linjiang County could collect a "Hanguangzhi", Guangzong County was ten times larger than Linjiang County, so many people who were engaged in the medicinal material business couldn't buy some of the medicinal materials needed by Shennong's order?
You know, whether it's Chu Qing or Jing Tang, all they have now is money!
Thinking of this, Chu Qing hurriedly went to find Jing Tang and made the matter clear, Jing Tang was happy, and immediately went to the pharmacy to ask; Guangzong County was too big, the two of them acted separately, and asked about the medicinal herb stores one by one.
"Guest officer, what do you want, this store is a century-old number, and Tong Su is not bullied!" a pharmacy guy greeted warmly.
"Smack. Chu Qing first put an ingot of ten taels of silver on the counter, and in order to improve efficiency, he used the silver to open the way.
When the man saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned Chu Qing to sit down, poured tea, and asked what he could serve.
Chu Qing didn't dare to be too eager, lest the other party hold the handle too much and start the price, so he generously spread out a list, on which hundreds of precious medicinal materials were written, and asked: "Are there any of these medicines, if you can find one taste, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and if you have two flavors, you will be rewarded with twenty taels, see how much you can earn." ”
The man was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the list to look at it carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, his face gradually darkened, and he said with a bitter face: "The guest officer is making fun of me? I have been in this business for six years, and I have never heard of such medicinal materials." ”
"Six years?" Chu Qing smiled: "Then you still don't have enough Taoism, please come to your boss, as long as you can find out the medicinal materials on it, I will still reward you!"
"Hey!" The guy hurriedly picked up the list and ran to the yard behind the counter......
When there were two teas, the guy came back and said with a smile: "Guest officer, our boss invites you to go to the back to talk." ”
Chu Qing was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that there was a way, he picked up the ten taels of silver and handed it to the man, and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”
The person in charge of this pharmacy is a young man, but he is in his twenties, and he speaks cheerfully, and after a few words of greeting, he asked directly: "The medicinal materials you mentioned, our store can take out two kinds, I don't know if the guest officer has 15,000 taels of silver, if not, please go back." ”
Chu Qing smiled: "Fifteen thousand taels, the price is not low." ”
The young man said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I can't lose a penny of silver." ”
Chu Qing nodded: "Happy, let's take the medicine first, as long as the medicine is good, I will have a lot of 15,000 taels of silver." ”
The young man smiled: "I know that these medicinal materials are not available to ordinary people, I take out the medicine, if the guest officer doesn't give you the silver, presumably the small shop can't help you, right?"
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, this young man's business is also interesting, thinking about it, since people have already said so, there is nothing to scruple about, so he directly took out a pile of gold and silver from the lucky bag in his arms and put it on the table.
The young man was also a little surprised that Chu Qing could carry so much gold and silver with him, but he didn't ask much, estimated the value of these gold and silver, and gave a few instructions to the family next to him, and then sat down, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, the things will be taken immediately." ”
Before the cup of tea was finished, the family came back with two medicine boxes, put them on the table, opened them carefully, and a rich and warm breath suddenly came to his face.
Chu Qing carefully examined, there is a medicinal herb that is right, it is recorded in the silver font in the Shennong Order, but the other herb is wrong, so he pointed to the herb and said: "This is not right, is it wrong?"
"Isn't that right?" the young man hurriedly put down the teacup and got up, "Do you see clearly?"
"It's not true, I can't be mistaken. ”
The young man sat back in his chair, nodded and said, "Forget if this medicine is wrong, you can just give five thousand taels." ”
When the young man said this, Chu Qing hesitated, after all, he was not familiar with the medicinal materials, and he knew almost nothing about the precious medicinal materials other than those recorded in the Shennong Order, and the medicinal materials that tasted wrong were obviously more precious in the eyes of this pharmacy.
Chu Qing took a closer look at the mistaken medicinal herbs, which were wrapped in a mass of resin-like things, about the length and thickness of an adult's index finger, and should be the rhizome of some kind of plant, which looked extraordinary, some like some kind of animal, with a head and a tail, a mouth and eyes......
"To be honest, I don't recognize it, but since I took it out, I will be wrong, and I bought it. Chu Qing clapped his hands and said.
The young man was not surprised or pleased, but got up and said, "Thank you for your patronage, and I hope to come often." ”
"Well said, well said. Chu Qing smiled and took the two medicine boxes into his arms.
Since the young man was not polite, Chu Qing was not verbose, so he immediately left and went to the next pharmacy.
After a busy afternoon, it was a little effective, Chu Qing spent 20,000 taels of silver to buy three flavors of medicinal materials, two of which were recorded in the silver font of Shennong's order, and the other was the most expensive, but I don't know what the origin was.
When meeting with Jing Tang at the inn in the evening, Jing Tang also bought the medicinal materials recorded in the silver font in the two flavors of Shennong Ling, and the two sat down to sum up, if there is something to be gained in Guangzong County, then it is estimated that some good things can be bought in other large and small towns!
The two talked while eating.
Jing Tang said a little eagerly: "Otherwise, we will rush to the next city overnight, sooner or later, we are afraid that someone else will buy it first, and we will have silver in vain." ”
Chu Qing nodded: "It's okay, it's better to buy two good horses first, and we'll leave overnight!"
As he was talking, someone behind him said respectfully: "Two, my master has an invitation, please meet you at the dock." ”
Chu Qing turned around, and it was the young servant under Wang Shoucai who spoke......
