The soldiers knocked for a while before a sound came from inside.
Manbao stopped the soldier's movements.
The people inside opened the door tremblingly, only half-opening it. When they saw a group of soldiers with swords and guns standing outside, they immediately opened the door and bent their waists almost to the ground. "Forgive me, adults. The younger ones will live in the back."
Didn’t hear…”
He raised his head slightly and glanced over several people. He could see that Zhou Man was the leader among them. Although he didn't know why there was a woman in the army and she was in civilian clothes, but the momentum was different, and the soldiers were also crowding around.
She is behind me, so I don't dare to neglect.
After thinking about it, he took out a heavy money bag from his arms, handed it to Zhou Man respectfully, and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, this is my filial piety to you. The small shop only makes small profits, so I can only take some money."
I have come up with this little thing, so please don’t mind me.”
Man Bao glanced at the money bag in his hand, did not accept it, but looked inside and said, "I'm here to buy medicine."
The store owner's expression changed, he smiled reluctantly and said, "I wonder what medicine you want to buy, do you have a prescription?"
Man Bao glanced at him, tried to slow down his momentum, and said with a gentle smile: "Let's buy some medicinal materials. You open the door first."
The store owner's face became even more bitter, but he did not dare to disobey, so he could only open the other half of the door and invite them in.
He said tremblingly: "The shop is small and I don't have many medicinal materials at home. I don't know what medicinal materials you want. I, I will help you catch it."
Man Bao stood in front of the counter, glanced at the names of the medicines on it, and said: "I want Angelicae Sinensis, Ginseng, Fangfeng, Dannanxing..."
As Man Bao read, his face turned bitter. Seeing that she had not stopped reciting a long list of medicine names, his tears were about to fall, and his waist almost bent to the ground.
Man Bao stopped talking, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
Man Bao opened the bag containing pearls, took out two pearls and placed them on the table. He asked the shopkeeper, whose eyes were almost straight, "Do you want pearls or gold?"
Man Bao tugged at his money bag, took out a small piece of gold and placed it on the table.
The shopkeeper swallowed, looked back and forth between the gold and the pearl, and then looked at Zhou Man cautiously.
Zhou Man looked at him calmly, waiting for him to choose.
The store owner felt that the young lady did not look evil, mainly because her eyes were clear and she did not look like a bad person.
Those who open drug stores have some medical skills and are considered doctors, and for doctors, observation is the most basic thing. Although they cannot know all the good and bad people in the world, their judgment is better than that of ordinary people.
At this time, the store owner felt that Zhou Man didn't look like a bad person, but he didn't dare to relax, so he laughed and said: "How dare you ask for your Lord's things? Just take whatever you like, just take it..."
"Okay," Man Bao was not polite, ordered Su Mu and Su Ye and said, "Go get some medicine."
Su Mu and Su Ye bowed their hands and said, "Yes, teacher."
The two of them entered the counter, took out the paper, spread it out, took the scale and looked at Zhou Man.
Man Bao said: "First look for scorpions, silkworms, centipedes and cicada sloughs. Take as many as you can and weigh them out and report the number to me."
"yes."
The two of them turned around to look for it. The medicine cabinets were arranged according to a certain pattern. Generally, poisonous insects that were rarely used were placed in the corners.
The store owner opened his mouth wide. He said you can take whatever you want, so you can just take whatever you want. And this thing...
The shop owner opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to open his mouth when he saw the soldiers standing behind him.
Man Bao walked around in the drug store, pulled out a piece of paper, and took out the ink stick and inkstone. She took the teacup on the table and opened it. There was clean boiled water in it. She poured some water into the inkstone and started grinding it.
ink.
Su Mu and Su Ye found these things, pulled them out of the drawer, and then carefully weighed them on the plates.
Sumu reported: "Teacher, the scorpion has six cents and seven cents, and the cicada has only three cents..."
Very little.
Although it was a small amount, it was still medicine. Man Bao lowered his eyes and wrote it down.
After they all took it, they asked: "Take the eight qian of Angelica sinensis. Do you have any ginseng?"
This thing was expensive. Su Mu and Su Ye looked for it but couldn't find it, so they looked at the store.
When the store owner wanted to say that he didn't have it, the soldier pulled out the knife in his hand and asked angrily: "Is there any?"
He didn't dare to say no, so he hurried to the backyard, and soon brought a box up and opened it. Inside were two ginseng plants, one of which was complete, and the other half of which was taken out.
He almost burst into tears and said, "Sir, this is all we have. There are really no more small shops."
Man Bao looked at him, smiled and accepted it. She didn't believe that he was really gone.
Jishitang is so far away from Goguryeo, so shopkeeper Zheng Da will hide these valuable medicinal materials separately. There are two copies in the medicine shop, kept separately, and the most important ones are kept at home.
But she couldn't buy so much.
Man Bao wrote down its grade, then handed the box to the soldier, and asked Su Mu and Su Ye to continue grabbing the medicine.
After they had finished catching them, and a lot of medicine was packed, the soldiers went up and took it in their hands.
The store owner had already collapsed and could only stand leaning against the counter.
Manbao took a pen and calculated the price.
She didn't know what the price of medicine was here, and if she asked the other person, he would definitely not tell the truth. He would either raise it or lower it, so she directly calculated the price based on what she knew about the price of medicine in Jishitang.
Then Manbao became distressed. She didn't know how much the pearl was worth.
Man Bao pinched a pearl and asked the soldier, "How much is such a pearl worth?"
This soldier knows, they know this kind of luxury goods best. After all, the loot will have to be cashed in later, so everyone must be aware of it.
He glanced at the pearl in Zhou Man's hand and smiled broadly, "Your pearls are of good quality. Such a good pearl is worth at least three ounces of gold."
The shopkeeper who was leaning on the counter cursed in his mind, he was a bastard who didn't know what he was selling. If a pearl like this were sent to a wealthy family, he wouldn't sell it for less than five thousand yuan. These are sea pearls sent from the south, and they are not easy to get.
Big and round.
Manbao thought about it, how did her fourth brother sell a bunch of pearls when he brought them back?
It had been too long, and Man Bao really couldn't remember it. Moreover, it was a freshwater pearl, which was different from this pearl, so she hesitated, "Really?"
"Really, all the pearls we got were given to hundreds of households in exchange for money. That's how they were exchanged."
Manbao probably already knew that this thing was worth at least four ounces of money.
Man Bao first took out two pearls, then ten more, and handed them to the shopkeeper, "Money for medicine, do you want pearls or gold?"
She said: "If you want gold, I only have this piece, and the rest can only make up for your pearls."
There was no other way, so Qibi Heli gave her the pearl.
The store owner was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou Man's face and asked, "Really, really give me money."
