Zhou Liru felt extremely aggrieved when he saw his sister-in-law. She immediately complained, "Sister-in-law, they just refused to admit that they were selling fake medicine, and they also slandered me!"
The man standing behind the stall in a careless manner immediately said: "Little girl, please don't talk nonsense, my medicine is really no longer real. What do you know at such a young age..."
Manbao stepped forward to look at it and asked, "What medicine?"
The man immediately took out a box and said attentively: "Miss, please look, this is Po Chai Pills, it is used to treat diarrhea. You gentlemen and young ladies who come here for the first time may be acclimatized. This Po Chai Pills are specially used to treat diarrhea."
This one."
He said: "Don't underestimate the acclimatization. This disease can kill people when it gets serious. There are so many of you, so you should prepare more. This lady suspects that what we are selling is fake medicine, so it would be too unfair for us. This
But does Jishitang know that it is made by Jishitang? You should know about the big pharmacy in the Central Plains, right?"
He didn't say it was Ji Shitang who did it just now, otherwise she would definitely be even more angry.
Man Bao stretched out his hand to take a pill and look at it. The other person immediately shrank back and said with a playful smile: "Miss, this medicine is expensive, so you can't touch it with your hands."
Man Bao looked up at him and asked: "How can I know whether the medicine is real or fake without seeing it?"
The man suddenly became unhappy, closed the box and said, "I don't like what Miss is saying anymore. If you smell the smell of this medicine, can it be fake? And you can tell it's true by looking at it?"
"I don't know," Man Bao shook his head and said, "You have to taste it to know."
The man choked when he was ready. He could only turn around and said: "Then I can't show it to you. This medicine is very expensive. If you touch it and taste it, how can I sell it?"
Bai Shan saw that the five stalls passing by the door had all changed from fruits, vegetables and small crafts to medicinal materials and patent medicines, and he couldn't help but suspect that they knew Man Bao's identity.
This is a stall specially set up for Man Bao.
But now that you know Manbao’s identity, why are you selling fake medicines?
He did not doubt that Zhou Liru was wrong. She was cautious and would not speak out if she was not sure. She would just go back and ask Man Bao for advice instead of quarreling with others here.
so……
Bai Shan looked at their expressions carefully. Do they know or don't they know?
The group of people is dominated by Mr. Zhuang to the outside world. When official status is not needed, it is said that Mr. Zhuang is taking students on study tours. When official status is needed, it is said that Mr. Zhuang is on a business trip to the Western Regions, and he takes a few students for training.
Anyway, Man Bao is an inconspicuous one among them.
It was the same when we entered the town this time. Mr. Zhuang said the same thing when he met the mayor yesterday. Because Man Bao didn't go, they didn't mention Man Bao. So how did they know Man Bao's identity?
Liangzhou?
Bai Shan was still thinking, but Man Bao's eyes were already on the medicinal materials on his stall. She picked up a medicinal material and asked, "What is this?"
The man took one look and said confidently: "Uncaria!"
Man Bao nodded and picked up another item, "What about this one?"
"Kudzu!"
Man Bao put the two kinds together and went to get other medicinal materials. He picked up one and glanced at the man. The man read the name of the medicine confidently, "Chrysanthemum, don't you even recognize this lady?"
"This is mint, it's a good thing."
"This is Poria cocos, and it's even better."
Man Bao put it together with the previous medicinal materials and picked it up again. The man was a little stuck. Man Bao raised his eyelids and looked at him. The others were looking at the man with great interest, and they also watched the man.
The man opened his mouth and simply said nonsense: "This is Atractylodes."
Manbao said: "This is Cangzhu."
After saying that, he put them down in a row and continued to rummage in his stall. He didn't see what he wanted, so he simply moved his butt and picked it up at the stall next door. He picked up something and asked him, "Where's this one?"
The man didn't say anything. He just memorized the names of the medicinal materials at his own stall. Who would memorize other people's names?
The stall owner on the side was about to interrupt, but Man Bao stopped him and said to the man: "You are a medicine seller, so you should know the pharmacology. This is not a strange medicinal material, you should know it, right?"
The man was a little unhappy and said: "If you want to buy medicine, miss, buy it. If you don't buy it, let other customers come to see it. Why should I give it to you for free?"
Manbao smiled slightly, arranged the medicines in his hands, and said, "This is Magnolia officinalis."
After that, he started picking again, "This is woody scent, this is patchouli, this is tribulus terrestris, this is trichosanthes, this is tangerine, this is angelica..."
Man Bao lined up a long row of herbs he picked out from four stalls. After he finished picking them, he stood up, clapped his hands and said, "This is the medicine for Po Chai Pills. How many flavors did you use for this box of medicine?"
man:……
Stall owners behind the medicine stall:...
"Also, these medicines have been stored for too long, but they have not been preserved well. Most of them are no longer usable, and it is not damp here. If this is the case, these medicines must have been stored for far more than three years, right?"
Others don't know it, but the men have known these medicinal materials for more than three years.
They couldn't help but look at each other. The onlookers in the crowd had bad instincts and sneaked out and ran away.
Man Bao stretched out his hand to the man, "May I take a look at this Po Chai Pill?"
The man held the box and refused to give it to him. Manbao did not force him and stopped and said: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't take medicine indiscriminately. If you don't give it, forget it. But I remind you, taking the wrong medicine can kill people. Also
, don’t set up a stall to sell fake medicines here, and it’s best not to sell them elsewhere. The mayor shouldn’t allow such a thing to exist, right?”
After that, he turned around and went back.
Zhou Liru snorted at him, turned around and followed. It took a lot of strength for her to suppress the words she was about to spit out, "My sister-in-law is an imperial physician!"
Unfortunately, she knew that they could not publicize her sister-in-law's identity, so she could only follow her back silently.
Bai Shan glanced at them, smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand to drag Bai Erlang and the others back.
The courtyard door closed, the men looked at each other, immediately closed the stall and left.
The guests in the courtyard didn't know it, but everyone in the town recognized them and knew they were the mayor's men.
Several people collected their things and wanted to go back, but the people who ran away finally ran to the mayor's house and found the housekeeper to report: "Butler, Brother Dayu and the others made a mistake. The customers in the yard knew the medicinal materials and said that the medicine we sold was fake.
.”
The housekeeper frowned, "The medicine just lasts longer. If they don't want to buy it, why do they say we are selling fake medicine?"
"No, she said that the Po Chai Pills we sell are fake. She also found the medicinal materials used to make Po Chai Pills. I think they are real."
The butler's expression changed, he grabbed him and asked, "He said the Po Chai Pills we sell are fake?"
He nodded, "Yes, no, she didn't say it because Brother Dayu didn't show her the Po Chai Pills, but the little girl next to her must have been fake. From their looks, I didn't think the little girl would admit her mistake.
