The street is quite wide, but the road is still very dilapidated. Compared with the pure loess road in the village, the road surface of the street has only an extra layer of gravel.
Yushan Pharmacy is right in the middle of the street, which is a good location.
Fang Le asked Feng Fei to wait outside, and he entered the pharmacy alone first.
To be honest, the pharmacy has a very historical feel. When you enter the pharmacy, on the right side is a relatively modern medicine shelf with various Western medicines. On the left side, there are rows of wooden medicine cabinets. If you don’t look at the right side, just
If you look at the left hand side, you really feel like you have entered a pharmacy during the Republic of China.
There were people behind the counters of both Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Today was not a gathering and there were not many people in the pharmacy. When Fang Le came in, the two people behind the counter were idle.
At this time, whoever can get a Big Brother is a symbol of being rich. Naturally, there are no mobile phones. I am bored and don’t have a mobile phone to play with. There is a middle-aged woman at the western medicine counter, knitting a sweater.
, there is a middle-aged man over the Chinese medicine counter, reading a newspaper.
Fang Le walked to the counter. There was a small spoon on the counter.
The 戥子 is also called the 戥Scale. It is similar in style to a scale but more sophisticated. It was a precision weighing instrument specially used to weigh gold, silver, precious medicines and spices in the past.
Before electronic scales became popular, ordinary scales could only be accurate to two, that is, how many kilograms or two taels. As for money, it had to be guessed.
For some gold and silver or precious medicines and spices, a difference of one penny can lead to a big difference in price. The jianzi is a more accurate weighing instrument that can be accurate to the penny.
Fang Le discovered this thing when he was sorting out the belongings of his great-grandfather Fang Yuanchen, otherwise Fang Le would not have recognized it. In the era after Fang Le was born, this ancient weighing instrument was no longer used.
"Get the medicine?"
The man behind the counter asked without raising his head while reading the newspaper: "Do you have any prescription for the medicine?"
"Do you accept medicinal materials here?"
Fang Le lay on the counter and asked softly.
Fang Le also said that there were two people inside, and this matter should not be publicized, so he was a little sneaky when he asked. Unexpectedly, the man didn't care at all: "Collect it, but only the medicine."
"okay!"
Fang Le saw that no one was worried about being seen, so he didn't have so many worries. He went outside and brought the medicinal materials in with Feng Fei.
"You take a look at the condition first, and then you talk."
"so much?"
The man was shocked this time.
There are herbal medicines in the nearby Jinyu Mountain, and people usually bring some dried herbs for sale every now and then. But this time, Fang Le brought so many at once. It was the first time for the man to see them.
“This is Rehmannia glutinosa!“
As he spoke, the man took out a handful of rehmannia glutinosa from the bag, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it: "The color is very good, and it is made very professionally. It is better than what I have here."
As he spoke, the man grabbed a handful from his cabinet and put them together for comparison. In terms of quality and appearance, they were all different from the ones Fang Le brought.
"This is all prepared by my brother Fang himself. It is purely handmade. The medicinal materials are all carefully selected. There is absolutely no problem with the quality."
Feng Fei interrupted from the side.
"You made it all up yourself, young man?"
The middle-aged man took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked while smoking.
"right!"
Fang Le nodded.
"The quality of your medicinal materials is quite good, but they are all popular medicines and the prices are not high."
The middle-aged man took out a handful of Bupleurum from another bag and looked at it. Fang Le said: "According to the current market price, Rehmannia glutinosa is 1.3 yuan per pound, and Bupleurum is 1.8 yuan per pound. I think the quality of your medicinal materials is very good."
good......."
As he spoke, the man retracted his two fingers and said, "How about this price?"
Fang Le really doesn't understand what it means to take back two fingers. Is it 20% or 20 cents?
Fang Le didn't ask too many questions. Anyway, it was his first time, so he just treated it as a way to get through.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Fang Le said with a smile: "I have another batch at home that is almost ready and will be delivered to you in a few days."
"Don't!"
The man was startled: "Your amount is not small. I won't be able to digest it for a while and I won't be able to eat anymore."
"No, we in Yushan Town can't even eat this little medicinal material?"
Fang Le was a little surprised, how much is this?
"This is medicine, do you think this is food?"
The man saw that Fang Le was not old, so he explained to Fang Le: "In our pharmacy, tonics are the best sellers, while other medicinal materials are relatively slow. There are few doctors, and many of them are sick and use the previous prescriptions."
Come out and try again, no one is prescribing, can you take the medicine indiscriminately?"
"As a medicine seller, I still have to worry about others. Some prescriptions are obviously wrong, so I don't dare to sell them randomly. Who is to blame if something goes wrong?"
Fang Le thought about it for a while, and it was the same.
After all, medicine is not food, so it cannot be eaten randomly.
Generally speaking, almost all pharmacies have TCM doctors on staff. For example, the large pharmacy in Yushan Town does not have a doctor of its own, so it really can’t sell much just by selling medicines.
After chatting for a while, Fang Le also knew the middle-aged man’s name. The man’s name was Wang Shengjun, and he had worked in Yushan Pharmacy for many years. In fact, Fang Le should have met Wang Shengjun before, but Fang Le had no idea about the former man.
I have no impression at all.
Of course, Fang Le doesn't want to have any impression. This is him, clean and tidy. If they are mixed together, he doesn't know who is who.
"The total is twenty-nine and eight dollars, so I'll give you thirty!"
Wang Shengjun finished weighing the medicinal materials and did the calculations for Fang Le.
After calculating the account, Fang Le also understood the meaning of the two fingers and pressed down two cents.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"
Fang Le took the money and said thank you.
"Don't give me any more gifts in the short term. I won't dare to ask for them again."
Wang Shengjun told Fang Le: "We really can't handle your quantity here. After all, we also have supply channels."
"I know, I'll go to other towns to have a look."
As he spoke, Fang Le gently shook the three ten-yuan bills in his hand.
After working hard for half a month, it’s only thirty yuan?
"Give me some more medicine."
Fang Le took out another three banknotes and handed it to Wang Shengjun.
"good!"
Wang Shengjun took the ten dollars with a smile: "What are you catching? Do you have any tips?"
"I said, catch me!"
Fang Le was talking about Fang Zi.
Not all herbal medicines are available on the mountain. This time Fang Le not only had to grab some medicine for himself, but also for the old lady. A few doses of medicine cost more than four yuan, and only twenty-five yuan was left after thirty yuan.
six.
"Here, it's for you!"
After grabbing the medicine and walking out of the pharmacy, Fang Le took out a five-yuan note from the money in his hand and handed it to Feng Fei.
"Brother Fang, you are out of sight now, aren't you?"
Feng Fei waved his hand hurriedly, he was not following Fang Le just for the few dollars.
"Take it."
Fang Le forced the money into Feng Fei's hands. Feng Fei's motorcycle has also been working hard these days. Fang Le is naturally not a stingy person.
"Sleep less?"
Fang Le asked Feng Fei with a smile.
"That's not true."
Feng Fei smiled awkwardly, he really didn't notice the five yuan.
"Have you ever made money before?"
Fang Le asked Feng Fei.
"No!"
Feng Fei shook his head in embarrassment: "My dad found several jobs for me, but none of them lasted long. Now he wants me to stay at home and tell me to find a wife to put my mind at ease."
"Although the money is small, I earned it myself and can spend it steadily."
Fang Le said to Feng Fei with a smile.
"Brother Fang, do you think I earned this money myself?"
Feng Fei was stunned.
"Yeah, you've been running around with me these past few days, and it's been a waste of your hard work."
Fang Le said with a smile: "Maybe I feel pity for you, your family is richer than ours."
"Earn it yourself?"
Feng Fei stared at the five yuan in his hand, and his thoughts went far away for a while.
