The owner of the drugstore saw that Qian Jiujiu was just an inconspicuous little girl. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Hong Ling standing beside him.
Although Hongling was just a maid, she was also a maid in the palace. Her temperament and appearance were not ordinary, so the waiter entertained her very politely.
"Please wait for a moment, I will be there soon."
With that, the waiter went to find the shopkeeper. Qian Jiujiu saw the waiter's expression and felt depressed in her heart.
She is the master, okay, okay, she is such a failure as a master, she is not even as imposing as a maid, she sighed inwardly.
Hongling looked at Qian Jiujiu and wanted to call her princess, but suddenly remembered her instructions before she came out. She coughed twice before asking.
"Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Jiujiu came back to his senses: "It's okay."
The shopkeeper came quickly and looked at the two women in front of him, guessing in his heart which wealthy family in the city they were from.
"I wonder what the two girls want?"
Qian Jiujiu coughed twice: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask, do you have silver needles for sale here?"
When the shopkeeper heard Qian Jiujiu's words, he looked at her strangely and then shook his head.
"Excuse me, young lady, what is a silver needle?"
Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt as if something was choking her throat. Could it be that there were no silver needles here? That shouldn't be the case, right
He glanced at Hong Ling and pulled her aside: "How do these doctors usually treat patients?"
Hong Ling glanced at Qian Jiujiu in confusion: "Take the pulse and prescribe medicine."
Is that so? Doesn't that mean that the silver needle technique has not been discovered by anyone in this dynasty
Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt excited. Could it be that God had left her a golden finger
He glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, forget it if there is nothing. Can you help me get some herbs?"
Qian Jiujiu took out the list he had prepared long ago and said, "Just prescribe the medicine according to the list."
The shopkeeper looked at the herbs on it: Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, Pyracantha fortuneana…
And the dosage is quite large, including some medicinal materials such as Isatis indigotica, Northern Bean Root, White Snake Grass, Licorice, and Viola yedoensis.
They looked like very common medicinal herbs. The shopkeeper wanted to ask something when he heard Qian Jiujiu saying.
"These are what our master wants. If you have them, pack them up quickly."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he understood that he was annoyed that Qian Jiujiu asked too many questions. Soon all the herbs were packed up, and Qian Jiujiu looked at the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"
"A total of one hundred and twenty-one taels."
Qian Jiujiu muttered, "Why is it so expensive?" and asked Hongling to pay for it happily.
"Shopkeeper, send these to Prince Xiao's Palace."
After saying that, Qian Jiujiu took Hongling away and glanced at Hongling.
"Hongling, is there any blacksmith shop here?"
Blacksmith shop. Hongling thought about it and took Qian Jiujiu to a blacksmith shop.
"Xiao Jiu, this is the best blacksmith shop in Kyoto. Do you want to get a silver needle?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, let's go in."
Taking Hongling in, the shopkeeper saw that the two people were dressed elegantly and were two girls. Such people rarely came, so he came up to greet them personally.
"I wonder what the two girls would like to buy?"
Qian Jiujiu walked to the shopkeeper and said, "I want to make a set of silver needles. Do you have paper and pen? I'll draw it for you."
Although the shopkeeper was surprised, he still took the two of them inside, laid out paper and pen, and Qian Jiujiu began to draw on it with silver needles.
