A half-sized man rummaged back and forth among the medicinal herbs all over the ground, occasionally straightening up and knocking on his waist, the afternoon sun became more and more intense, and the pervasive smell of medicine seemed to become thin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Gongming lamented that the patio in this courtyard was still too small, and the medicinal herbs all over the ground almost made him unable to get off his feet, which was already the result of his half-day work.

More than ten days of continuous rain, so that the simple moisture-proof measures in the warehouse completely lost their effect, the inventory of medicinal materials waiting to be dried became the shopkeeper's heart disease, finally had good weather, early in the morning was woken up by a tenor voice Zhao Gongming, the fusion of the memories of the two lives made him into the strong smell of the warehouse.

"Today is a rare day, the medicinal materials in the warehouse are moved out to dry well, I have to go to the front to watch, the business has been too bad recently, no one has come to buy medicine for several days, is it possible that no one in the town is sick?"

Qian Chuan, the nagging pharmacy manager, cursed the healthy future customers while going to the front cabinet. Zhao Citizen, a visitor from another world, initially adapted to the unfamiliar body, and began to look at the storeroom, which was extremely dim because there was no skylight, and all kinds of medicinal herbs were piled up on the ground, on wooden shelves, and in cabinets, and the visible droplets of water were encroaching on the store's property.

Zhao Citizen, who has already understood his identity and the environment he is in, oh, now the name of this body should be Zhao Gongming, and the name of the previous life is only one word different, is this the legendary fate?

Zhao Gongming, male, date of birth unknown, has been in the Qian family pharmacy for fifteen years since he was picked up by Qian Chuan when he was a baby.

Occupation: Pharmacy guy, treatment: food and housing, no five insurances and one housing fund, no year-end bonus, no salary, it is simply the standard template of a contract worker in the previous life.

However, due to the characteristics of the industry, if Zhao Gongming is sick during work, the pharmacy can provide free medicine, which is the only place where Zhao Gongming feels relieved after coming to this new world, at least in the case that he does not take the initiative to die, and does not encounter natural disasters, the future of Zhao Gongming's healthy growth is promising.

After a few hasty bites at noon, the shopkeeper was about to inspect the progress of the morning's work, and as soon as he left the room, he was almost swept away by the churning heat in the yard.

"Go to the back and get some honeysuckle grass and boil some cold soup, three bowls of water to make a bowl, if you faint from the heat, I can't get you to the next doctor's house." The money shopkeeper rarely took the initiative to issue a "high temperature subsidy".

Zhao Gongming relied on the memory of his predecessor, under the scorching sun, and found the honeysuckle grass pointed out by the shopkeeper among the medicinal materials all over the ground, and the small courtyard was next to the kitchen to the right of the room where the store boiled medicine, sharing a stove with the kitchen. According to the money shopkeeper, this can save a stove money.

Since only one medicinal herb is needed to boil cold soup, although he has not yet boiled the medicinal materials of this world by himself, but with the experience of boiling Chinese medicine in his previous life, Zhao Gongming took a black clay pot, which is the most inconspicuous jar on the shelf against the wall in the medicine boiling room.

In addition, there are two other objects on the shelf, one is a fine-mouthed porcelain bottle with dense patterns, and the other is a heavy-colored pot-bellied copper furnace, these two things do not look like objects used to boil medicine.

With a serving of honeysuckle grass and three bowls of water, Zhao Gongming began to boil his first medicinal soup in the world with the help of the fire left in the stove at noon.

Zhao Gongming looked at the fire on the stove while sorting out the memories of the two lives, the work experience of the supermarket tally clerk in the previous life did not seem to be of much help to the career development in this life, but the university marketing expertise has not been returned to the teacher at least all, and now it is also a professional counterpart.

Zhao Gongming, who had successfully completed the first round of cultivation of the Spiritual Victory Method, suddenly heard movement from the front cabinet, and couldn't help but wonder that there were really guests coming to the door in this ghost weather.

The reputation of the Qian family pharmacy in Caoxu Town is not bad, because most of the medicinal materials in the store are commonly used medicinal materials for common diseases, although there are no rare varieties, but the method of Qianchuan concoction is good, the quality of the medicinal materials is excellent, and the price is fair, for the budget-conscious town residents, it is cheap and good.

Although it is said that the medical hall does not sell medicines, and it is the rule that pharmacies do not prescribe prescriptions, if the Zhao Medical Center next door prescribes prescriptions containing valuable medicinal materials, and the Qian Family Pharmacy, which mainly focuses on commonly used medicinal materials, cannot provide them, patients can only go to the Huairentang opened by the Zhao family in the west of the town to buy high-priced medicines.

However, there are always some poor families who cannot afford to pay for the precious medicinal materials, and even those who are poor due to illness privately ask to come to the Qian family pharmacy, and the Qian shopkeeper will occasionally help the other party to see if the precious medicinal materials in the prescription can be replaced by ordinary medicinal materials.

Qian Chuan knows very well that blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, the Zhao family is rich and powerful in Caoxu Town, and ninety percent of the shops in the town have the name of the Zhao family.

Therefore, Qian Chuan only occasionally made a move to the family of the patient who asked for the door, and told the other party not to make a noise. I have no choice but to walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and today the matter finally came to the door.

"Money shopkeeper, the prescription was prescribed by Zhao Langzhong, the medicine was bought from your Qian family pharmacy, this medicine was only taken one dose, my brother vomited blood and fell into a coma, I asked Zhao Langzhong to test, there is a taste of black wind grass in it, the year is wrong, you look at this matter, right?"

Standing stood a fat man with bull's eyes, dressed in a short shirt with a few black hairs on his open chest, shouting at the counter of the drugstore.

Lying was a lean man with a sallow complexion, dressed in a patched brown shirt, with several dried blood stains on the corners of his mouth and chest, lying on the floor of the front hall of the pharmacy with his eyes closed.

A white-faced middle-aged man with a goatee, dressed in a cyan robe, sat in the lobby of the Zhao Medical Hall, listening to the voice from the pharmacy next door, with a slight smile on his face.

When Zhao Gongming entered the front hall from the backyard, he saw such a scene, and almost all the saliva sprayed on the face of the money shopkeeper behind the counter.

Maybe it's because this day is too poisonous, although Niu Er's voice is getting louder and louder, but there are not many people watching the excitement at the entrance of the pharmacy, only a few guys from the Zhao's medical hall on the left and Zhao's coffin shop on the right are talking to each other.

The money shopkeeper took out an account book from under the counter as usual and flipped through a few pages.

"Niu Er, you said that your brother ate the black wind grass sold by my Qian family pharmacy, I remember that your brother and he brought the recipe indicated that it was for thirty years of black wind grass, the old man has always been a child who sells medicine, there is no such medicine in the store at that time, I sold him other medicinal materials in the prescription, but the thirty years of black wind grass is for him to find it at home. ”

In fact, Qian Chuan told the truth, but what he didn't say was that Niu Da came to the door again that night, just because there was indeed a thirty-year-old black wind grass in the Zhao family's Huairentang in the town, but the asking price was too high, and Niu Da couldn't afford the price, so he could only ask for the Qian family pharmacy. Qian Chuan told him at the time that in fact, there was no difference in the effect of the prescription when he changed to ten years of black wind grass, but the price between the two was very different, so he took a few ten years of black wind grass and gave it to him.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be done but not said, so Qian Chuan will never admit that he helped Niu Da replace the medicinal materials in the prescription.

Niu Er wiped the sweat on his face when he heard this, took out a paper bag from his arms, and slammed it on the counter, "This is a medicine bag that my brother hasn't fried yet, old man Qian, look at what year is the black wind grass in here?"

Qian Chuan opened the paper bag, scratched the medicinal herbs mixed into a pile, and carefully picked out the black wind grass inside, and the original shape of the concocted herbs could still be vaguely seen.

"Come and see, how old is this black wind grass?" Qian Chuan saw Zhao Gongming coming in from behind, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

In Zhao Gongming's memory, the ten years of black wind grass is a commonly used medicine, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood and removing stasis, most of the time it is used as an adjuvant, this is his own stay in the pharmacy for more than ten years, after the money shopkeeper taught the common sense of medicine, as for the specific effect of thirty parts of black wind grass, I don't know very well.

However, the criterion for judging the growth year of the black wind grass, he remembers very clearly, that is, to observe the color of the leaf veins, the darker the color, the longer the year, the leaf veins of the black wind grass are gray-black for ten years, and the leaf veins are white for less than ten years, and if it is a black wind grass for thirty years, the color of the leaf veins will become completely black.

Zhao Gongming raised his eyes and looked at Old Man Qian, and then glanced at Niu Er with his spare eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that Old Man Qian wants to let himself open his eyes and talk nonsense, but next door is the medical hall, and this Niu Er also claimed to have found Zhao Lang to test the medicine before, this herb that is obviously less than ten years old, he can't say that it is thirty years old." ”

Seeing that Zhao Gongming was silent for a long time, Qian Chuan slapped him on the head, "What I taught you in the past, you didn't even remember it? This is not Wufeng grass at all, this is Wuling grass!"

"I don't care if this is black wind grass or black spirit grass, that day I saw my brother carry a few packets of medicine from your Qian family's pharmacy, after taking this medicine, he began to vomit blood, repay debts, kill people to pay for his life, your family's medicine is bad, I smashed your signboard today. ”

Niu Er tightened the straw rope around his waist, and pulled the cloth of the "Qian Family Pharmacy" at the door to the ground, and before he stepped on it, he felt a tightness in his lower back, and the whole person fell backwards involuntarily.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the extremely thin money shopkeeper was grabbing his "belt" and dragging it back, and the pharmacy guy's eyes widened, as if he was marveling at the strength of his shopkeeper.
