After grabbing the medicinal materials, the old man just came out, and put a small red fruit into the medicinal materials, but this small red fruit made Xiao Chen's eyes freeze, and his heart stirred up turbulent waves!
Because, he is very familiar with this little fruit, he just saw it yesterday! This little fruit is exactly the kind of fruit that Ye Xiaoye puts in the refrigerator! Yesterday Xiao Chen was a little bit surprised what it was, why did Ye Xiaoye put a fruit into it when he boiled the medicine, only today did he know that this thing is called Kujiguo!
Tsk tsk, Ye Xiaoye is really a rich man, can he afford such expensive medicinal materials? I don't know what the medicinal soup she made is for
"Grandpa, what kind of prescription is this bitter fruit usually used for?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
"I don't use it much, only some special-purpose prescriptions will be used, but if you don't tell me, I won't tell you." The old man smiled at Xiao Chen, as if you want to know? I prefer not to tell you what it looks like.
Xiao Chen was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect this old man to hold a grudge, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't reveal his secret just out of curiosity, could he
So, Xiao Chen didn't say anything more, picked up the packaged medicinal materials, and quickly walked out of the pharmacy.
After Xiao Chen left, Hong Yan turned her head to look at the old man: "Grandpa Chen, what is this bitter fruit? Why have I never heard of it?"
"Miss Yan, because this kind of bitter fruit is not very common, and people who buy the medicine don't need it, so I didn't show it." The old man's name for Hong Yan actually changed. If Xiao Chen was present, he would definitely be incomparable Surprised, it turns out that the old man and Hong Yan are not grandpa and granddaughter, but the old man's surname is Chen, and Hong Yan's surname is Hong!
"Oh? Then that person bought it just now..." Hong Yan was a little puzzled: "Grandpa Chen, what is the use of this bitter fruit?"
"I don't know exactly what it is used for. Perhaps, this thing is not something that I have come into contact with at this level." Grandpa Chen said with a wry smile.
"Grandpa Chen, so you lied to him before?" Hong Yan looked at the old man strangely. The old man wanted to play Xiao Chen's words before, but he didn't expect that Grandpa Chen didn't know the purpose of the bitter fruit.
"Hehe, I can't say it's a lie. At least I know that there are a few prescriptions that require bitter fruit, but I don't know the specific uses of these prescriptions!" Grandpa Chen said: "The prescription that the young man brought before, among them I have seen several medicinal herbs in other prescriptions, and because I don’t know the purpose of this prescription, I just want to ask about it.”
"I see." Hong Yan nodded: "Grandpa Chen is really a profiteer!"
"Haha, Ms. Yan, in our line of business, profit comes first!" Grandpa Chen laughed.
"Then why did Grandpa Chen give him a discount?" Hong Yan felt a little inconceivable.
"It's a kind of investment." Grandpa Chen said.
Hong Yan nodded half understanding.
Xiao Chen was carrying a bag of priceless medicine bags, his pockets were deflated, and the remaining two hundred yuan was given by the eldest lady. Xiao Chen could only live frugally for this money. Originally, Xiao Chen I wanted to go to the electrical appliance store to buy an electric casserole for boiling medicine, but when I saw the price tag of two hundred and ninety-nine, the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. He didn't have enough money to buy it, so he had to go back and talk to Ye Xiaoye Discuss, can I borrow her electric casserole for myself to use.
"Old man, the prescription you gave me is too expensive, isn't it?" Xiao Chen said with a wry smile.
"Who knows what the current prices are like? Besides, I rarely buy things in the secular world." Tian Lao also didn't expect that the medicinal materials he listed would cost so much, making Xiao Chen so embarrassed!
"Forget it, it seems that I have to find a way to make some money. Now I just bought a pair and lost everything. There is still a long way to go before the fifth pair!" Xiao Chen sighed. To be honest, the previous Xiao Chen has no idea about these money at all, but now, a penny really stumps a hero!
It’s not that Xiao Chen has never thought of borrowing from Zhu Yingxiong, but Xiao Chen knows Zhu Yingxiong better. This guy usually doesn’t have much pocket money. He would also ask Xiao Chen what he would do with the money. At that time, Xiao Chen didn't want to lie to his good brother, so he could only give up temporarily.
"Xiao Chenzi, it's not about the five sets of medicines. These five sets of medicines are only what you need to take before the third level of the Qi refining period, and there will be more after that, and the medicinal materials will be rarer, and the price will probably be more expensive!" Tian Lao said: " Most importantly, whether you can buy it or not is another matter!"
"No way?" Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly. It seems that his road to poverty has just begun!
This made Xiao Chen feel even more, should he do something, borrow money from Zhu Yingxiong, he can borrow money once, but he can't borrow money endlessly, right? Let's not talk about whether there are so many wishing heroes, even if wishing heroes once, don't ask twice, and don't ask three times
With a gloomy expression on his face, Xiao Chen walked into the classroom. It took some time to buy medicinal materials, so Xiao Chen almost walked into the classroom by stepping on the class bell.
Originally, Lou Zhenming was quite surprised to see that Xiao Chen didn't come today, and then excitedly guessed, could the evil wolf kill Xiao Chen first before he was killed by someone who "did for justice"
Thinking about it, this possibility is not impossible. As for not finding Xiao Chen's body, I am afraid that the evil wolf has already disposed of the body. It is impossible to be found in a short time, but now Xiao Chen appeared in the classroom intact , let Lou Zhenming originally had a fluke excitement, suddenly it was as if cold water had been poured on it!
"Damn, is this kid okay?" Lou Zhenming muttered with a gloomy face.
"It seems that this kid is lucky, Brother Ming, I can only endure this matter for now." The thin monkey has no good way, after all, the matter has been released, so let's forget about the matter of Ma Gangmen, in the short term It is impossible to find trouble with Xiao Chen.
"Forget it, let's stop studying this country bumpkin. How is the plan for the hero saving the beauty?" Lou Zhenming asked.
"I talked to Ma Gangchuang, and he also said that he would cooperate. It's just that the boy is in a daze. I'm afraid he will be in a daze at that time, but with my help, there shouldn't be any major problems." The thin monkey said: "The most important thing is now." The problem is, we have no chance!"
"No chance? What kind of chance?" Lou Zhenming was taken aback.
"Brother Ming, it's a chance to rob. Cheng Mengying goes to and from school every day, and she's with Jin Beibei, and she's driving. How can we rob? If we stop the car, Jin Beibei, that tigress, might really dare to hit us and kill us." !" The thin monkey didn't dare to stop Jin Beibei's car, he hasn't lived enough yet!
Lou Zhenming nodded. He didn't blame Shouhou for his timidity, but Jin Beibei dared to do this! If you crashed to death, you also crashed to death. If you want to reason, you can't find a place! The robber was robbed and killed, you still want to reason? If you go to Jin's house, not only is it tantamount to admitting that Lou Zhenming found the robber, but Mr. Jin may not be able to reason. With Mr. Jin's character, hacking Lou Zhenming to death would be in vain!
"Look for opportunities, don't worry." Lou Zhenming pondered for a while and said: "I don't believe it, Jin Beibei will follow Cheng Mengying every day in the future, there will always be opportunities! Just let Ma Gangchuang get ready, just be there when you are called .”
"Okay, Brother Ming." The thin monkey nodded.
Cheng Mengying saw that Xiao Chen entered the classroom very late again, a look of suspicion flashed in her eyes, where did this guy go? You won't go to Tang Tang again, will you? But it's impossible to see that Tang Tang has come a long time ago.
"Cousin Mengying, are you thinking about your brother-in-law?" Jin Beibei asked while eating a lollipop.
"Yeah, why did you say he came so late?" Cheng Mengying said subconsciously, but after she finished speaking, she quickly changed her words: "Who would miss him? Love will come or not!"
"Sister Mengying is duplicity!" Jin Beibei said with a smile, "Don't hit me, I understand."
Cheng Mengying raised her hand, but dropped it helplessly, glared at Jin Beibei, and said, "Eat your lollipop!"
"Why did you come so late?" Tang Tang was also very surprised. It is impossible to say that Xiao Chen got up late. Cheng Mengying came earlier than her, so it is impossible for Xiao Chen not to get up.
"Come here." Xiao Chen smiled wryly and said.
"Come here? No way? You have no money?" Tang Tang suddenly thought of the reason: "You won't be so poor just because you invited us to a buffet yesterday? You can't even take the bus The money is gone?"
"It's not that miserable, but it is. I just want to save some money." Xiao Chen said, "By the way, Tang Tang, do you have any way to make money?"
"You want to make money?" Tang Tang was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect Xiao Chen to be short of money so soon, but after thinking about it, she lowered her voice and said, "You don't need much money for three meals a day, do you? Busy work, study at ease, young master like you is not a food for hardship, I will help you with breakfast and lunch, Cheng Mengying will never make you hungry for dinner, right?"
Xiao Chen took out the medicine bag in his pocket, shook it in front of Tang Tang, and told a white lie: "I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't cultivate inner strength, you know it? I have to take a lot of it every month The decoction, and this is a lot of money to start, if I don't make money, I'm afraid I can't afford it at all."
Tang Tang suddenly realized that the news that Xiao Chen was weak and sick since he was a child was not a secret, so she was not surprised: "So, you don't need much money to buy medicine, right? Thousands of pieces are enough? I grit my teeth and save money." Soon, it will come out..."
Although Tang Tang said that he didn't care about it, but he was thinking in his heart. Starting tomorrow, he had to get up earlier and prepare more soy milk and fried dough sticks. Otherwise, she would cut out the rent and expenses a month. There was not much money left, Xiao Chen's medical expenses of one thousand yuan really made her stretched.
