Chapter 27 Buying Medicines on West Street
Xia Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he lowered the hat on his head a little bit. In addition, he didn't have any weapons on his body, and Tianhe used his spiritual sense to help cover up the powerful true energy on his body. No matter who sees it, he will only think that he is an ordinary person, and he will not expect that he is an intermediate-level strong man in bone-forging!
Xia Yuan walked in the outer city for a whole morning. Not to mention the alchemy furnace, there was no one in the medicinal materials shop, and there were only some medical centers. However, although there were medicinal materials sold in the medical center, they needed to be treated by the doctor in the medical center and could only buy medicines based on the doctor's order. Moreover, there were basically the lowest-level herbs here, and it was rare to see the elixirs. What's more, to go to the medical center to buy a large amount of medicinal materials, isn't it equivalent to going to the blacksmith shop to buy a sledgehammer or a restaurant to buy a large spoon? It must be made!
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xia Yuan found a restaurant nearby and ordered a few side dishes. While the guy served the food, Xia Yuan asked the guy: "Is there a lot of places for selling medicinal materials in the city?"
The guy looked at Xia Yuan with a puzzled look on his face. He could use a lot of medicinal materials, either a alchemist or a doctor. But seeing that Xia Yuan's face was immature, he didn't look like an alchemist or a doctor!
"Brother, don't get me wrong. This time I am here to buy herbs for our tribe. Our tribe is in remote location, so it's not easy to come to the imperial city once. The Chinese medicine doctor in the tribe told me to buy more herbs and take them back!"
"Oh!" The guy saw that Xia Yuan ordered some money and nodded, "If you want to buy medicinal materials, you have to go to Xiping Street, Inner City. It can be said that it is the largest medicinal material market in our Great Qi Kingdom. There are countless medicinal materials coming in and out there every year!"
"Thank you brother!" Xia Yuan didn't expect that just asking where the medicinal materials would cause people to doubt. If he dared to ask where there was a elixir furnace to buy, I wonder if he would be arrested!
Xia Yuan had dinner at this small restaurant, and did not delay and went straight to the west of the inner city.
As soon as he entered Xiping Street, Xia Yuan smelled the smell of medicine, but the more he walked in, the more mixed the smell of medicine became. Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel dizzy and could only use his true energy to seal his nose first.
Walking from Xiping Street to the end of the street, Xia Yuan counted and found that there were no less than a hundred medicinal shops on both sides of this street that was more than a thousand meters. There were people coming and going, and it was very lively.
Although Xia Yuan had never been here and did not know whether the various pharmacies were good or bad, Xia Yuan also had a solution and found a pharmacy with the most customers. As long as there were many customers, it was at least proved that this pharmacy would not be too bad.
Xia Yuan approached the medicine shop and saw a plaque hanging on the gate, saying: Jishitang. Seeing that the old red paint on the plaque has been peeled, it has a history of at least several hundred years.
Xia Yuan walked into Jishitang. As soon as he entered the door, a young man came up to him. However, when the man saw Xia Yuan's clothes, he couldn't help but hesitate. His own medicine shop can be said to be the largest medicine shop in Xiping Street. The merchants were either rich or noble, and they would have to buy at least 100 taels of gold each time they bought medicine. But he didn't think Xia Yuan was able to take out 100 taels of gold for a moment. He didn't know if he should greet Xia Yuan for a while.
Xia Yuan also noticed the guy's expression, took off his hat on his head, and said directly: "Come your shopkeeper, I have a big deal!" Xia Yuan saw that the shelves around the lobby were filled with various medicinal materials. According to Tianhe, these medicinal materials were very old and had been simple practiced. The techniques were quite good, and the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials were preserved to the maximum extent. Xia Yuan felt deeply that he had found the right place this time.
There are still a few months to open the immortal gate and break through the immortal road. I don’t know how long it will take for me to leave Tiandao Mountain again. I still have tens of millions of taels of gold on my body and have storage space. If I don’t use it, it will be wasted. Xia Yuan is planning to buy his medicinal materials worth tens of millions of taels of gold at a time, so as to ensure that he will not stop practicing the alchemy plan because there are no medicinal materials!
"Big deal?" The guy was even more displeased when he heard Xia Yuan speak in a arrogant manner. How much money can he spend with such a poor look? Perhaps a thousand taels of gold is already a huge sum of money in a small place, but there is no need to mention here! "If you want to find our shopkeeper, you need at least a thousand taels of gold..."
Xia Yuan took out a gold ticket and shook it in front of the guy. The guy's eyes were sharp and could see clearly that it was a gold ticket of 5,000 taels. Unexpectedly, he was really a big money owner!
The guy quickly changed his face and nodded at Xia Yuan: "Young master wait a moment, I'll go and invite my shopkeeper!"
The guy trotted all the way and called an old man and whispered that the young man was holding a gold ticket of 5,000 taels in his hand, which might be a big deal!
The old man is the fourth shopkeeper of Jishitang. Although Jishitang can be said to be the largest pharmacy in Qi State, it is rare to have a business of 5,000 taels of gold at a time, and the pharmacy also has related reward methods. Each time the business is negotiated, the shopkeeper can get a dividend of 1,000 taels of gold. If the business of 5,000 taels of gold is negotiated, he can also get a reward of 5,000 taels of gold, which is almost half a month's salary.
"Old Meifeng, I wonder what medicinal materials are there for the customers?"
Xia Yuan looked at the old shopkeeper's kind smile, but frowned. The surname is Mei? You should know that the Mei surname is not common in Qi State, and there is only one in the imperial city, which is the Mei Wenxin family I met in Chongshan City.
However, Xia Yuan was just moved. This time he came to buy medicinal materials for bulk purchases, and it could even be said that he was giving money to the Mei family. I believe the Mei family would not push the God of Wealth out!
Xia Yuan took out a list of medicines that had been prepared from his arms and handed them to Mei Feng, saying, "Do you have these medicinal materials here?"
Mei Feng took the list and looked carefully. The list listed more than a hundred kinds of herbs from the ninth to fifth grades. It is certainly no problem to use Jishitang’s thousands of years of foundation. However, these medicinal materials are not expensive. Even if each of them costs hundreds of kilograms, it is only a thousand taels of gold.
Mei Feng nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem with these medicinal materials. I wonder how many customers need?"
"Just give a thousand pounds first..."
"One thousand kilogram?" Mei Feng calculated roughly. Each of these more than 100 medicinal materials costs at least ten thousand taels of gold. It's really a big deal!
"Please invite a distinguished guest on the floor!" Of course, business with a total of 1,000 taels of gold cannot be traded in the lobby. There are VIP rooms on the Jishitang building, which are specially used to entertain these distinguished guests.
The list Xia Yuan brought out is just a test. The secret book of pill practice he obtained involves more than 3,000 kinds of medicinal materials. Since he wants to practice pills, it is best to buy all these medicinal materials at one time. Even if it is not available in pill practice pills, Xia Yuan doesn’t want to let go as long as there are one. It is better to be prepared than digging a well when you are thirsty!
Xia Yuan followed the shopkeeper Mei Feng to a VIP room on the second floor. This Jishitang is worthy of being the largest pharmacy in Qi. The VIP room is also designed with antique flavor. It is not like a place to talk about business, but more like a place where literati make friends.
