Chapter 4: buy herbs

Views:

The medicine store that Ming Wuxiang was looking for was in a relatively deep part of the traditional Chinese medicine street. Although there were many people on the road, it was easier to move with a purpose than wandering around like a blind fly.

After walking for more than ten minutes in the crowded old street, the group of three finally came to a medicine store with a very ordinary and old exterior decoration, which is a strong historical atmosphere.

Anyone who knows the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine Street knows that the older the appearance of the shops in the old street, the longer the history of the shop’s existence. Therefore, in some beginners' guides, the description of the street of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is no problem if you don't know how to choose medicinal materials. You just need to look for those old shops. Although the price of medicinal materials is a bit expensive, medicinal materials are definitely good things.

Today is a holiday, and there are a lot of people in the Chinese medicine street. However, three young people stood outside their shop, which quickly attracted the attention of the store staff, especially when an older staff saw the appearance of the young man standing in the middle. He was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly walked up to him.

"Xiao Xiang, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man is the shopkeeper of this shop, and he has dealt with Mr. Ming a lot. Every time Grandpa Ming comes to the shop to pick herbs, he is responsible for entertaining them. As for the friend of the old man who is a busy man, it is good luck to meet him once out of five times.

The middle-aged man also knew that Mr. Ming passed away years ago. Although he did not attend the funeral of Mr. Ming, he asked his host to bring condolences to Ming Wuxiang.

Seeing Ming Wuxiang suddenly appearing at the door of the store without contact today, I thought something happened to him, so I couldn't help asking about it.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Seven." The middle-aged man is the seventh at home. Friends are used to calling him the seventh, and the juniors call him Uncle Seven to show their closeness.

"I just wanted to make some medicine. I heard from Grandpa that Uncle Qi said that your medicinal materials are the most complete and the best, so I came to you."

The seventh child knew that Mr. Ming had taught Ming Wuxiang the medical skills of the Ming family, but how old was Ming Wuxiang, a child who had just grown up, and dared to learn how to dispense medicine

Not to mention the keen Ming Wuxiang, even Yi Xing and Li Jiahua beside him could see the suspicion in the eyes of the seventh.

Ahem, indeed. Ming Wuxiang's words are very suspicious, who told him to be young.

"Uncle Qi, this is the list, you can read it first."

To be able to open a medicine shop and serve as the shopkeeper must know a little bit of medical theory. Seeing that Mingwu connected list is ready, although I doubt it, I still take the list. He thought in his heart that as long as he found something wrong with the medicinal materials in the list, he would definitely not let Ming Wuxiang mess around.

After receiving the form Ming Wuxiang handed over, Lao Qi remembered that the group of them had been standing at the door of the store, opening the door for business, blocking people at the door was not a problem, Lao Qi turned sideways, and told Ming Wuxiang and them Let into the store.

The clerks in the store are all discerning, even if they don't recognize Ming Wuxiang and see the shopkeeper's attitude towards him, they will know that the relationship between the two is not normal.

When a group of people walked into the store, they were served a cup of warm tea immediately after sitting down, and then everyone continued to work, and no one approached curiously.

Lao Qi, who took the list, had a tense expression at first, but when he saw clearly the names of the herbs written on the list, his tense expression finally relaxed.

Celestial vine, Papilio spatholobus, these are all medicinal materials for dredging meridians and collaterals, as well as medicinal materials for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as angelica paeonol and safflower.

Although the amount is a bit large, they are all common medicinal materials. The most important thing is that these herbs will not eat bad people when they are mixed together. There is a herb on the list that is slightly poisonous. If it is used too much, it will not kill people if it is taken to the hospital for gastric lavage. However, as an elder, the seventh child is still worried. asked a question.

"Xiaoxiang, this Guiling grass is poisonous. If you don't tell me clearly, Uncle Qi won't sell it to you." After Lao Qi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Not only Uncle Qi, but other medicinal materials You will never be able to buy it in the store. In this business, Uncle Qi still has some face."

Seeing Uncle Qi's serious attitude towards Zero Grass, Ming Wuxiang couldn't help laughing and crying. At the same time, he couldn't help but rejoice that the medicinal materials needed for the simplified version of the tendon-cleaning and marrow-cutting liquid are common and common. As for Zero Grass, it is poisonous, but the content It's not high, if it weren't for Uncle Qi's attitude, he wouldn't be able to gather the medicinal materials for the tendon-cleaning and marrow-cutting liquid.

"Uncle Qi, the medicinal materials in the list are for medicinal baths, and the dosage of Gui Ling Herb is very small. I will also use Xingyue Purple to neutralize its toxicity, so you can rest assured, Uncle Seven."

There is no Xingyuezi, an ignorant medicinal material, in the tendon-cutting marrow liquid, and Ming Wuxiang added it in order to have an excuse.

Hearing what Ming Wuxiang said, Lao Qi vaguely remembered what his old boss had said about these two ambiguous medicines. It seems that Ming Wuxiang should have known it from Mr. Ming, and he really didn't know about the fact that the combination of these two ambiguities can neutralize the poison of Guiling grass.

Since there is no problem with the list, Lao Qi will not hold back the medicinal materials. Picking up the list, Lao Qi nodded to Ming Wuxiang, "Okay, Uncle Qi will prepare all the medicinal materials on the list for you, and you and your friends will sit down first." one time."

"Please trouble Seventh Uncle." Seeing that Seventh Uncle finally nodded, Ming Wuxiang's expression did not change, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't want his cultivation path to be full of difficulties at the beginning.

After Lao Qi left, Ming Wuxiang took a sip of warm tea, turned around and noticed that Li Jiahua and Yi Xing looked at him a little strangely, and asked strangely, "What kind of eyes are you two?"

"No, it's the first time I clearly feel that you, Daoist, have really studied Chinese medicine." After Yi Xing finished speaking, Li Jiahua next to him nodded in agreement.

Ming Wuxiang rolled his eyes at Yi Xing's words, and turned to Li Jiahua who nodded, "It's fine that Yi Xing has never seen what my grandfather taught me, Li Jiahua, what do you mean by nodding, when you came to play with me when you were young It's not like I haven't seen me reciting soup songs!"

"Uh, I've seen it, but I didn't understand anything you recited back then." Li Jiahua shrugged. I really don't blame him for having the same reaction. He was also confused when he was a child. And hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things.

Li Jiahua's explanation, Ming Wulian rolled his eyes too lazy to roll his eyes, and it was the first time he discovered that Fa Xiao was so unreliable.

Seeing Ming Wuxiang being rolled his eyes by Li Jiahua, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, Yi Xing would have wanted to slap his legs and laugh out loud.

Although the medicinal materials on Ming Wuxiang's list are common, they are quite large in quantity, and it took a while for Lao Qi to prepare the package and hand it to Ming Wuxiang.

Yi Xing and Li Jiahua, who were watching the play, did nothing to watch. There were several large packages behind the medicinal material package that he clearly wanted, and he couldn't take it by himself.

Seeing that the medicinal materials for the tendon-cleaning and marrow-cutting liquid are always available, even after experiencing the Ming Wuxiang in the world of cultivating immortals, he couldn't help showing an excited smile.

These medicinal materials are the starting point for him to become a strong man again.

There was no problem with the medicinal materials, but Ming Wuxiang paused when paying, frowned slightly, and turned to look at Lao Qi beside him.

"Seventh Uncle, is the price wrong?" Before setting out on the street of Chinese medicine, Ming Wuxiang deliberately learned about the current prices of medicinal materials, so he can see that there is a problem with the prices of these medicinal materials.

Not more, but less.

"The price is right, that's all."

"Uncle Seven..."

"What are you thinking, child? This price is really no problem. It was the same price I gave to your grandfather before. If you need more, you can come to Uncle Qi." Lao Qi patted Ming Wuxiang on the shoulder, urging him to pay quickly, and then What should I do

Grandpa Ming's price is the wholesale price, how could it be the same as the retail price. Ming Wuxiang wanted a lot of medicinal materials today, but they still couldn't reach the wholesale price. However, he did not reject Uncle Seven's kindness, and understood that it was the care and love of his elders.

Ming Wuxiang didn't say anything and paid quickly, just like Qishu said, he will need more medicinal materials in the future. Of course, for some medicinal materials, Ming Wuxiang already has a further plan-planting medicinal materials in Baoshan.

When Grandpa Ming was there, he also planted medicinal materials in the Baoshan area, but the scope was not large. No matter what the old man said, he put them there for his age. It would be too wasteful to plant too many medicinal materials and not take care of them.

As a monk, Ming Wuxiang will definitely not plant in the same way as his grandfather, so he can take care of it even if he takes a large forest to grow medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials grown by cultivation methods will definitely be better than those outside. many.

After buying the medicinal materials, Ming Wuxiang turned around and asked Yi Xing and Li Jiahua next to him if there was any place he wanted to go, or go back to school.

As soon as he heard Ming Wuxiang's question, Yi Xing's eyes immediately clicked and lit up.

"Brothers, since it's okay, let's go to the beauty pageant with my buddies!"

Seeing the change in Yi Xing's expression, even if he didn't speak, both Ming Wuxiang and Li Jiahua knew what he wanted to say, and it was so.

Ming Wuxiang didn't speak, Li Jiahua said speechlessly: "Are you sure you can catch up with your beauty pageant if you go now?"

In fact, what Li Jiahua wants to complain more is, why are you so staring at that beauty pageant

"If I can catch up, I have a VIP ticket, even if the game has already started, I can still enter."

Yi Xing took out the golden VIP ticket from his pocket and waved it proudly at Li Jiahua.

Ming Wuxiang and Li Jiahua looked at each other speechlessly, since Yi Xing wanted to go so much, they couldn't say anything, anyway, there was nothing important to do next.

As soon as he saw the two nodding, Yi Xing drove to the flower market hall where the beauty pageant was held without saying a word. An hour later, the car parked in the underground parking lot of the Flower Market Hall, and Ming Wuxiang who got out of the car didn't know what to say to the excited Yi Xing.

Normally, it would take more than an hour to drive from the Street of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the Huashi Guild Hall. Not to mention that today is Sunday, the road is jammed with traffic, but this guy, Yi Xing, actually drove there in an hour. The most important thing is that he didn't violate the traffic rules on the road, making Ming Wuxiang want to take his brain apart to see what's inside.

VIP tickets are different. For example, the beauty pageant has already reached halftime, and spectators are generally not allowed to enter the arena, but the welcome person at the door saw the VIP ticket that Yi Xing took out with a 180 expression on his face. The attitude changed, and the three of them were welcomed into the venue very respectfully.

Sitting in a seat with a very good view in the venue, Li Jiahua couldn't help feeling emotional, "Usually I don't feel like hanging out with you, but today I finally feel like you are the young master of a wealthy family."

It happened to be performance time, and there were no handsome men and beauties on the stage. Yi Xing turned his head to look at the emotional Li Jiahua, curled his lips and replied, "Fart, what kind of rich family am I? The real rich families are only the four in Imperial City. Gu Tang Jiang Xing."

I don't know what to think of, but the expression on Yi Xing's face was dreamy, and he continued: "Especially the eldest grandson Gu Tang of this generation of Gu family, tsk tsk tsk."

Hearing the familiar name, a trace of strangeness quickly crossed Ming Wuxiang's indifferent face.
