Xiao Ruo laughed out loud. The person who tied the bell had to be tied to untie the bell. She knew that by moving Xiao Niao out, old man Cen could regain his spirits.
"Okay, okay, as you said, I will only educate her and not beat her, okay?"
Old Cen breathed a sigh of relief and was comforted by Xiao Ruo's coaxing and frightening. At this moment, the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.
"By the way, let me tell you something."
Xiaoruo saw that Old Cen's expression was normal, so she told him what she had heard in Tongji Pharmacy today.
Old man Cen was so angry that his beard stood up when he heard that the new shopkeeper of Kaitong was so indifferent to patients and bought out all the Aconite in Qinzhou.
He said angrily: "No one can see Xiuhe, God knows his intentions. Good medicine is the king, conscience is the minister, and conscience is the assistant. This person dares to do such a thing that is harmful to nature, isn't he afraid of retribution?"
Xiao Ruo nodded and agreed: "He should indeed be allowed to reap the consequences."
After living together for so long, Old Cen knew very well what Xiao Ruo's determined tone meant. He asked, "Girl, do you have any ideas?"
"I have an idea, but I have some questions that I would like to ask you." Xiao Ruo smiled slyly and said: "I remember that the medicinal effect of aconite is similar to that of aconite. Do you know if there is any special processing method that can be used to make aconite?
Isn’t it like ordinary Aconitum?”
"Not like ordinary Aconitum?"
"Yes, as long as it doesn't look like ordinary aconite in appearance, it needs to look more...well, more high-end, more expensive."
Old man Cen lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "I once read a prescription from an ancient book. After the aconite is processed, the medicinal properties are not much different, but the prepared aconite has a dazzling luster on the outside, as if it is dead.
It’s like a layer of gold powder.”
"Okay! Just use this method! Do many people know this method?"
"This kind of aconite has the same medicinal properties, but it looks different and is extremely troublesome to prepare. Almost no one uses this method, and only a few people know about it."
Xiaoruo felt relieved after hearing what Old Cen said. That night, under the guidance of Old Cen, she made ten golden aconite. The golden aconite was bright in color and evenly coated with a thick layer of golden powder on the surface.
Like a heavy piece of gold.
Xiaoruo looked at the ten attractive golden aconite heads, nodded with satisfaction and said: "People die for wealth and birds die for food. It's time for him to realize what it means to reap the consequences."
The next day Xiaoruo took Jin Wutou to Tongji Drug Store to find the money shopkeeper and told him her plan in detail.
Shopkeeper Qian nodded while listening, and couldn't help but praise: "Good! Good! Good! Miss Xiao is really smart! I will arrange it as you said!"
He asked his assistant to find a troupe that was passing through Qinzhou, and paid to hire three unfamiliar actors. One of them was dressed as a country man, and the other two were dressed in rich clothes. They looked like they had a lot of money.
An actor dressed as a country man went to Tong Pharmacy with a golden aconite. As soon as he entered the door, he lowered his voice and asked the store clerk: "Is your shopkeeper here?"
The waiter was a smart man. Seeing this village man hunched over his chest, as if he was hiding some treasure in his arms, he lowered his voice and asked: "The shopkeeper is not here now, what do you think of the guest?"
The village man opened his clothes to reveal a corner of the golden aconite, and immediately wrapped it tightly with his clothes before the waiter could take a closer look.
Waiter Kaitong only felt a golden light flash before his eyes, and then disappeared again before he could see clearly. He was afraid that this man really had something valuable to give to the shopkeeper, and if he delayed, he would be punished.
So he asked the village man to wait in the back hall for a while, and immediately ran to the accounting room on the second floor to report the matter.
Shopkeeper Kaitong heard the waiter say that someone downstairs had brought him a golden baby. He felt happy and confused at the same time. He followed the waiter downstairs and saw that there was really someone waiting for him in the back hall.
"What treasure do you have?" He went straight to the point, what's the point of being polite to a villager.
Seeing that he was dressed in gold and silver, he was sure that he was the shopkeeper of Kaitong. Then he carefully took out the shining golden treasure from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to him.
"This is this?" Shopkeeper Kaitong has never seen anything like this before. You might say it's gold, but it doesn't look like gold if you look closely. But this thing is covered in a layer of golden light.
"Sir, this is something passed down from my family. It's called Golden Aconite."
"Golden Aconitum? Is this a medicinal material?"
"Exactly, my ancestors were herb collectors in the mountains, and by chance, I came across golden aconite. This golden aconite is as golden in color, extremely rare, and its effects on strengthening yang and strengthening the body are thousands of times better than ordinary aconite." The villager saw the shopkeeper.
He stared at the golden aconite with his eyes intently. Wherever he moved his hand, his eyes followed him, knowing that the beginning of the plan was finally completed.
He pretended to be sad and said: "If my son didn't need money to get a wife, I would never sell this. I heard that you are collecting aconite. Aconitum and aconite have similar medicinal effects, so why don't you come here?
Give it a try, maybe you are interested in this golden aconite?"
"Yes! I'm interested!" Shopkeeper Kaitong grinned, revealing his gold-encrusted front teeth.
"How do you plan to sell this golden aconite?"
"One thousand taels of golden aconite."
"What! This is too expensive!" The waiter who was watching the excitement exclaimed.
Shopkeeper Kaitong also suppressed his smile. The price for a rare medicinal material is really outrageous.
"Sir, you don't know something. This golden aconite is rare in the world. I'm afraid I only have ten of them in the world. If you meet someone who needs golden aconite, let alone a thousand taels of silver. No matter how much money you have, you should pay for it."
You have to pay for it!”
Shopkeeper Kaitong was not moved by these words. No matter how precious things are, what's the use if they have a price but no market? He doesn't deserve to be such a fool.
The villager gritted his teeth and said: "Well, I'll leave this golden aconite with you for the time being. I won't collect money for now. You can think about it first. I'll come back in two days. If you still think it's not worth it, then I'll come back.
Take it away.”
When it came to this, shopkeeper Kaitong nodded arrogantly.
It doesn’t matter if you keep the free things. This thing is shiny and can be used as a decoration.
So he asked his assistant to find a glass jar, put it in a jar with golden aconite, and put it on the medicine cabinet.
The village man hunched over, shook his head and sighed as he walked out of Kaitong Medical Center. He looked back three times every step of the way, which made even the waiters feel a little unbearable.
What the waiter didn't know was that as soon as the poor village man he thought was out of sight of Kaitong Medical Clinic, he was pulled into an alley and surrounded by people.
Shopkeeper Qian asked nervously: "How are things going?"
The village man smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss, I acted according to your instructions. This treasure is now on the counter!"
Shopkeeper Qian breathed a sigh of relief, rewarded the actor who played the role of the villager as promised, and told him to wait for the next arrangement.
