Deal with me? Just because of three hundred coins of medicinal materials? Gu Shiba Niang felt a little ridiculous.
Let’s take a look and talk.
"Ms. Zhou, what are you looking for?" A waiter at a stall shouted. He recognized Zhou Liniang. Although he knew that Qianjintang is a pharmacy that mainly provides medical treatment and not a medicine store, the pharmacy can also purchase medicinal materials. Mosquitoes are also meat when they are small. You can’t miss the business. It’s always good to build a good relationship. He handed over the dustpan of coptis in front of him and said, “Look, pure turmeric and chicken feet...”
Zhou Liniang half understood and turned her head away from looking. Gu Shiba Niang took it and held it in her hand to look at it carefully.
"Is this Coptis chinensis?" She picked up the Coptis chinensis on the other side and sniffed it to her nose.
"Yes," the young man then turned his attention to Gu Shiniang. This girl's clothes were old, but she was clean and her face was calm. The young man was a little unsure about the idea that she was a servant girl, "Girl, take a look. How about it?"
He just asked casually, without expecting an answer.
"Well..." Gu Shiba Niang looked at Jiu Huanglian seriously, sniffed it, broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth to chew, then nodded and said, "It's not very hot, but it's okay. Top grade."
The boy watched the girl walk away from the stall with his mouth wide open.
"Is it painful?" Zhou Liniang also closed her mouth slightly, looked at Gu Shiba Niang, and pointed at the Coptis chinensis still in her mouth.
"It's bitter. If it's not bitter, it's fake Coptis chinensis." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, covered her mouth sideways and spit out the dregs.
"You really know how to do this?" Zhou Liniang looked at her, slightly moved.
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, shook her head, and said: "I'm not very good at it yet, I'm still learning... Let's take a look over there."
Zhou Liniang was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and followed.
The more Gu Shiba Niang walked around, the more interested she became. However, Zhou Liniang suffered a lot. She was sweating all the way. She fanned her with a fan and wiped it with a handkerchief, and she had to lift people to rub her.
She stood on tiptoe and looked around. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she hurriedly pulled Gu Shiba Niang.
Gu Shiba Niang was watching the shopkeeper of a medicine shop negotiating with a large merchant from out of town. She spoke in jargon and discussed the authenticity and quality of medicinal materials. In the end, the large merchant gave a price, and the onlookers suddenly cheered. .
Low grade!
"This gentleman has great eyesight..." the shopkeeper admired with his hands raised, with a bit of admiration on his face, without the slightest complaint that his business was disrupted. "You can see that the origin of my kudzu root is not good."
The big merchant twisted his beard and smiled, and the two successfully concluded the deal, and five hundred kilograms of kudzu root were shipped.
Gu Shiba Niang was very excited when she saw them. These were real experts. She was pulled back by Zhou Liniang and turned around impatiently.
"Come on, let's go over there and have a look. There are fewer people there." Zhou Liniang said, pointing to another street.
Gu Shiba Niang looked down that street, and saw that the flow of people was much less than here, and there were no big stalls. They were all retail traders squatting or standing, carrying baskets and carrying bags, selling medicinal materials. Of course, there were There is no shortage of merchants either.
Gu Shiba Niang hesitated.
"Eighteenth Mother..." Peng Yizhen's shout sounded from behind.
Thinking that Cao Cao would be here soon, Gu Shiba Niang had a smile on her lips and turned her head.
Peng Yizhen, wearing a new gown and hat, wandered over.
Zhou Liniang couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and she covered her mouth with a fan hurriedly and elegantly, "I said, Uncle Peng, are you going to be the groom's official?"
Peng Yizhen laughed, "My son can even be the groom's official!"
While joking, he tugged on his clothes as if he was a little uncomfortable, his eyes turned on Gu Shiba Niang and Zhou Liniang, with surprise on his face, "Hey, why did you two get together?"
Zhou Liniang smiled, reached out and took Gu Shiba's hand, shook her head slightly and said, "What? Uncle Peng doesn't want us to be together?"
Peng Yizhen put on the look of an adult lecturing a child and said: "What are you talking about? Okay, okay, this is the best for you." He frowned again, "Liniang, don't be like your father's stingy kid and bully this child." …..”
"Where is my father?" Zhou Liniang didn't like hearing this and pouted, "It's all the misunderstanding caused by the servants."
Peng Yizhen looked like I don't know your father yet, but he didn't say anything anymore and looked at Gu Shiba Niang, "Shi Ba Niang, how are you doing?"
Gu Shiba Niang kept smiling and watching them talk.
"It's really good, I'm very knowledgeable." She knew he was asking about how the medicine would be, so she replied with a smile.
Peng Yizhen nodded and was about to say something, but Zhou Li'niang was already getting impatient.
"Uncle Peng wants to buy some medicinal materials at a cheap price? Then you are busy, let's go over there and have a look." She pulled Gu Shiba Niang to leave.
Peng Yizhen had no intention of saying goodbye. He thought of something and said hurriedly: "Speaking of cheap, yes, Shiba Niang, do you want to buy some herbs and process them? The current price is very cheap."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have this plan..."
As she spoke, her eyes swept over the two people in front of her, and she caught the flash of joy on their faces. She couldn't help but sneer, wanting to see what tricks you were playing.
"We are about to go. The shipment volume here is too large. Let's go over there and have a look. Uncle Peng, please do your work." Zhou Liniang took Gu Shiba Niang and left.
"Hey, by the way," Gu Shiba Niang stopped and looked at Peng Yizhen and said, "Mr. Peng, where is Mr. Dong's shop?"
Peng Yizhen and Zhou Liniang were both stunned.
"You want to go to Mr. Dong's shop?" they asked in unison, "What are you doing?"
"Baba Niang, Mr. Dong doesn't have any powdered medicine, it's all prepared. What are you going to buy there? Besides, Mr. Dong's medicine..." Zhou Liniang said with a smile, "You can't afford it..."
"Didn't Mr. Dong say he would accept a disciple? I want to take a look." Gu Shiba Niang replied calmly.
Peng Yizhen and Zhou Liniang lost their composure and stared at Gu Shiba Niang, as if they didn't understand what she said.
"Are you kidding?" Zhou Liniang laughed, waving her small fan and looking at Gu Shiba Niang.
"No." Gu Shiba Niang replied calmly.
"Eighteen Niang, not to mention whether Mr. Dong will accept you or not," Zhou Liniang said with a smile, "Do you know what you are talking about? Mr. Dong is not an official like me..."
"I know, he is the master of processing." Gu Shiba Niang smiled and glanced at Peng Yizhen, "Mr. Peng introduced it to me."
"Then do you know what you will become after becoming a master?" Zhou Liniang smiled, "A craftsman, a craftsman..."
"I know." Gu Shiba Niang also smiled and stopped looking at her, "Mr. Peng, do you know the location of Mr. Dong's medicine shop?"
Peng Yizhen looked a little solemn, hesitated, but still nodded, "I know, you come with me."
He turned around and led the way, and Gu Shiba Niang followed closely.
"I'm crazy if I want to make money," Zhou Liniang stamped her feet behind her with a mocking look on her face, "You're really... willing to humble yourself!"
Seeing that the two people in front of her were about to blend into the crowd, she didn't dare to stay too long and followed them.
"This is Mr. Dong's medicine shop?" Gu Shiba Niang looked at the shop in front of her in disbelief.
The facade here is not big, and the most important thing is that compared to the hustle and bustle of other places, it feels a bit deserted in front of the door.
"Don't dare to show off Mr. Dong's medicine..." Peng Yizhen said with a smile.
If this stall were to be set up like other stores, I'm afraid it would cause robberies.
"Mr. Dong only supports a few fixed medicine shops..." He continued, unknowingly lowering his voice a bit in front of the door, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people inside, "...the big medicine meeting , Mr. Dong came to the shop in person. Some medicine shops will send their own medicines over and ask him to identify them...Other times, this opportunity is not available...Well, look..."
Peng Yizhen reached out and pointed to the door of the drug store. He saw that it was different from other drug stores. Although there were almost no people inside, it was filled with all kinds of utensils, including cloth bags, baskets, and bamboo baskets. Not only the counter It's even placed on the ground, with notes on it.
