After the two brothers Zhu Ping'an entered the drug store, a young apprentice came over to greet them immediately. He did not look down upon the two because of their plain clothes. The young apprentice smiled and asked, "Are you two seeing a doctor or taking medicine? If you want to see a doctor, you have to wait a while."
"
Zhu Pingchuan blushed, shook his head repeatedly, and stuttered a bit, "No, no, we don't see doctors... we don't take medicine... we sell..." Speaking of this voice
I can't help but feel a lot smaller, like a mosquito, which is really embarrassing.
"We sell medicine."
In contrast to Zhu Pingchuan's embarrassment, Zhu Ping'an looked at ease and was not shy at all. Seeing that his brother was embarrassed to speak, he took over the words.
"We usually don't accept medicines from sellers..." The young apprentice glanced at the basket Zhu Pingchuan was carrying. For the sake of safety, drug stores generally have specialized suppliers for collecting herbs. Most people don't know how to pick herbs.
Skills often lead to the loss of efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine. These two brothers are obviously not herbalists, and if the two children can get anything good, for the sake of the drug store, they politely refused.
Another young apprentice behind the counter was taking medicine according to the prescription for the woman and child who was treating the doctor. He paused for a while and then whispered to the young apprentice who was receiving Zhu Pingchuan.
Seeing the senior brother calling, the young apprentice who was receiving Zhu Ping'an and the others said apologetically to the brothers Zhu Ping'an, "I'm sorry, why don't you go look elsewhere."
After saying that, it was over.
Zhu Pingchuan was already embarrassed, but when he saw the young apprentice's refusal, his face became even redder, and he wanted to take Zhu Ping'an away.
Is this a bad start?
However, Liu Bei could visit the thatched cottage three times, so it didn't hurt to visit a few more. Zhu Ping'an was ready to leave.
The two young apprentices murmured for a while, and one apprentice said to the old Chinese medicine doctor in embarrassment, "Master, I have prepared all the ingredients for this prescription, but there is only one honeysuckle missing."
"Lack of honeysuckle?" The old Chinese medicine doctor who was stroking his beard paused and turned around to ask, "Why is there a shortage of honeysuckle? Didn't we just get a batch of honeysuckle a few days ago?"
"The store clerk didn't take good care of it, and the water damage soaked the honeysuckle in stock." The young apprentice told the truth.
At this time, Zhu Ping'an had already reached the door, and his keen ears caught the conversation between the apprentice and the old Chinese medicine doctor.
"Brother She, why are you going?"
Zhu Pingchuan's voice sounded at the door.
I saw Zhu Ping'an break free, grab the backpack from Zhu Pingchuan's hand, hold it in both hands and run towards the old Chinese medicine doctor.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was explaining to the woman apologetically, but the woman wanted to give her son some medicine as soon as possible, with a worried look on her face.
"Old miracle doctor, I have medicine to sell." Zhu Ping'an held the basket in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor as if offering a treasure.
"Hey." The young apprentice stepped forward to stop him, fearing that Zhu Pingan would bump into the nobleman and disturb the master's diagnosis.
"Old Miracle Doctor" is a title that speaks to the heart of the old Chinese doctor. Who doesn't know a good name, especially a doctor? Because of Zhu Ping'an's words, the old Chinese doctor decided to take a look at what the child was holding.
What herbal medicine, give him a chance.
"Do you have herbal medicine?" The old Chinese medicine doctor just glanced at it casually, but when he glanced at it unexpectedly, his eyes suddenly lit up and he even tore off two strands of his beard.
"You are...well, not bad, not bad. If you pick it properly and dry it just right, it can be of top quality." The old Chinese medicine doctor pushed the apprentice away, walked forward, and picked up a honeysuckle flower from the basket held by Zhu Pingan.
, looked carefully, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, a smile appeared on his old face.
When the young apprentice saw the honeysuckle picked up by the old Chinese medicine doctor, he remained silent and felt a little ashamed. He almost pushed the charcoal out of the way.
"Little friend, your honeysuckle has been collected by our medicine hall. Erbao went to take these honeysuckles and give them to Mrs. Liu first, and then settled the bill for this little friend according to the top grade." The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded with satisfaction, and he was kind.
He told Zhu Ping'an, even the names were shortened, and he asked the apprentice to weigh the honeysuckle, and then turned back to chat with the lady beside him, "Madam, this is wild honeysuckle, and its medicinal effect is better than the honeysuckle grown by farmers."
It will be more than twice as good, and the young master's recovery will be faster."
Zhu Pingchuan, who was at the gate, opened his mouth wide when he heard what the old Chinese doctor said. He felt like he was falling into the clouds. The wild flowers his brother picked randomly in the mountains turned out to be traditional Chinese medicine, and there were actually people buying wild flowers.
"Thank you, old miracle doctor." Zhu Ping'an naively cupped his hands and thanked him.
Chinese herbal medicines are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower grades, and the price gap is quite large. If you buy them as high-grade products, the price may be more than double.
A young apprentice said so. A young apprentice wrapped the medicine for Mrs. Liu, handed it to the maid standing beside her, and whispered some precautions.
When she heard that her son's condition would recover one day earlier because of the honeysuckle, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and asked her maid to give Zhu Ping'an a silver nugget before leaving.
Zhu Pingchuan on the side was already in a mess. Not only could the wild flowers in the mountains be sold for money, but some people even offered them silver rewards.
Zhu Ping'an took the silver nude, his chubby face smiled so hard that he could hardly see his eyes, and he cupped his fat paws to thank everyone.
"Thank you madam, my little brother will definitely recover soon."
Mrs. Liu who walked to the door looked back, a little surprised, turned her head and whispered a few words to the maid beside her.
Then, the little maid trotted over with her skirt in hand and stuffed another silver nugget into Zhu Pingan's hand.
"My little brother has such a sweet mouth. Madam asked me to give it to you. Go back and buy some delicious food." After the little maid finished speaking, she touched Zhu Pingan's chubby face, then picked up her skirt and went to chase Madam.
Zhu Ping'an's little chubby hand was holding two silver nuggets, and his chubby face smiled like a bulldog.
Zhu Pingchuan blushed so much that he really didn't want to know his brother.
"The total amount of honeysuckle is two pounds, three taels and four cents. A pound of top-grade honeysuckle is 50 cents, a pound of middle-grade honeysuckle is 38 cents, and a pound of low-grade honeysuckle is 25 cents. Based on the top grade, the total is 117 cents." After weighing it, the young apprentice cleared his throat and reported loudly.
Give a price.
Zhu Ping'an was quite satisfied with the price. This medicine hall was quite fair. There was no shortage of pounds. The honeysuckle weighed at home was only two pounds and three ounces. Although the honeysuckle was carried home in a basket, it actually didn't weigh much.
Not to mention after drying.
It seems that this is a trustworthy medicine hall.
Zhu Pingchuan was really shocked when he heard the price given by the young apprentice. He was even more shocked when he saw the lady reward Zhu Ping'an with two silver nuggets.
Zhu Pingchuan, like Zhu Shouyi, is dull but not pedantic. He knows that rewards are just accidental. This wild flower called honeysuckle is a steady stream of profits. You must know that there are many such wild flowers in the mountains.
Thinking about it, I feel a little short of breath.
The old Chinese medicine doctor asked his young apprentice to get a bucket of copper coins from the counter. In front of Zhu Pingan and Zhu Pingchuan, he counted 120 coins and put them into the basket at Zhu Pingan's feet. He smiled kindly and said, "This is a total of 120 big coins.
The extra three can be considered as your reward for rescuing me just now."
"Thank you, old miracle doctor, let's go then." Zhu Pingan waved his fat paws and naively cupped his hands to thank him and said goodbye.
I'm afraid that Zhu's father will be worried if he waits for a long time.
Zhu Pingchuan held the basket on his back and took Zhu Ping'an's hand towards the door.
After walking a few steps, I heard the voice of an old Chinese medicine doctor from behind, "Wait a minute."
Hearing this, Zhu Pingchuan started to sweat on his forehead. He thought that maybe he had regretted it, and that was right. How could anyone buy wild flowers and pay such a high price? He was about to work as a part-time worker for more than half a month. He couldn't help but,
My heart was pounding.
Zhu Pingan turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with the old miracle doctor?"
"If there are still such medicinal materials in the future, they can be sent directly after drying. However, the price will fluctuate, so you must be mentally prepared." The old miracle doctor said while twirling his beard. On the one hand, he admired Zhu Pingan's aura;
The quality of honeysuckle is really good, and there is still a huge demand for honeysuckle in medicine halls. Prescriptions and dietary prescriptions containing honeysuckle are particularly common, so I decided to call them and make a good relationship.
After hearing this, Zhu Pingchuan breathed a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly, "Hey, hey."
