Zhang Jingyi was also in a hurry at this time. After thinking about it, she said bluntly, "well, old Chinese medicine doctor, in addition to asking you for help, we still have a very important thing to ask you for help. We really don't mean to deceive you."
Maybe it was Zhang Jingyi's beauty and appeal that moved the old Chinese medicine doctor. Or maybe Zhang Jingyi's words made the old Chinese medicine doctor curious. After he looked at them, he faintly said, "what can I do for you
Zhang Jingyi looks at Xiao Qiang with some trepidation. She seems to be asking him if he wants to say something directly. Xiao Qiang hesitated and nodded after the meeting. He could see that after living in the mountains for a long time and communicating less with people, his personality might become more and more isolated, and he would be more vigilant to outsiders. If he continued to hide, I'm afraid it would make the old Chinese medicine more disgusted. It's better to speak out his intention openly and sincerely.
"Old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is like this..." Zhang Jingyi cautiously opened his mouth. "We run a cosmetics company. Our company's main product is Chinese Herbal Mask, but because the core formula is in the hands of other companies, it has lost some formula after producing some contradictions. I heard that you have made great contributions in the treatment of scar, so can you please give us these recipes so that we can create new facial masks after improvement? Of course, you are still the owner of this formula. We will take a lead according to the sales volume, so that we can achieve a win-win situation. "
After listening to Zhang Jingyi's words, the old Chinese medicine doctor frowned and said, "I'm a mountain man. I live by mountains and water. What do I want money for? I'm not interested. You can find someone else! "
Such a resolute refusal is really beyond Zhang Jingyi's expectation. She is not willing to say, "old Chinese medicine, you are old, should your living environment be improved? If you want to cure and save people, you must have good medical equipment, even Chinese herbal medicine, right? This money can provide convenience, you... "
"I said I'm not interested! Little girl, I won't be moved even if you wear your mouth out! " Old Chinese medicine stubborn heartless voice, "my formula is all handed down from the ancestors, you an outsider, how can I give you the formula?"? I say again, money is a pile of waste paper for me. If I want to make money, why should I stay in the mountains and forests? "
Once again, the old Chinese medicine doctor refused decisively. Indeed, he was right. With his medical skills, if he really likes money, he can make a lot of money as long as he goes down the mountain to see a doctor. Why sell his ancestors' formula?
Zhang Jingyi didn't give up trying to open her mouth, but the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't even look at him this time, so she went into the thatched cottage, ignored them and took them as air.
"Xiao Qiang... Now, what can I do..." Zhang Jingyi was really worried, but seeing the old Chinese medicine's firm refusal, she also knew that it was very difficult to make him change his mind. The more she thought about it, the more sad she was. Her eyes were red and almost cried.
Xiao Qiang sighed and comforted, "Jingyi, let's not worry. Since we have found an old Chinese medicine doctor, we still have hope. The old Chinese medicine doctor is used to living alone in the mountains. He has a lonely temper. This is very normal. Besides, we really don't know him very well. It's impossible for anyone to take out the formula as soon as they meet, right? Or... Let's think of other ways first, and then talk to him when we have a chance? "
Zhang Jingyi pursed her pink lips and nodded. Now I'm afraid I have to continue to think of ways to wait. Her beautiful eyes once again showed a firm color and said, "anyway, I must let the old Chinese medicine give me the formula, otherwise I won't go down the mountain!"
Xiao Qiang said with a helpless smile, "Jingyi, now we need tents, no tents, no sleeping bags. I don't think the old Chinese medicine doctors will wait for us, and the thatched cottage won't sleep for us. We can't stand the night in the mountains."
"We can make a big fire and hug each other in the thatched cottage for warmth. We should be able to make it through." Zhang Jingyi blushed and gritted her teeth, "no matter what, I won't come back in vain! I can't see Melinda's company destroyed in my hands! "
Xiao Qiang coughs awkwardly twice. Although he knows that Zhang Jingyi is doing useless work, she has a firm attitude and wants to move the old Chinese medicine doctor by her perseverance.
Since they had made up their mind not to leave, they soon began to make preparations. The thatched cottage belongs to the old Chinese medicine doctor, but Jigong Mountain doesn't belong to him. In the woods beside the Huahai lake, Xiao Qiang finds a lot of firewood and plans to raise a bonfire at night to keep out the cold. Zhang Jingyi was not idle either. She began to collect hay and spread it beside the fire. She built a roof with wooden frame and ragged cloth beside the thatched cottage. She managed to build a very humble nest.
With the gradual fall of night, Xiao Qiang came out from the nearby woods with two or three fat wild pheasants in his hands. As in the valley, it was processed in the same way, and soon wafted out bursts of unique fragrance beside the fire.
"It's a pity that there are no vegetables in the mountain. If we always eat meat and don't supplement vitamins, we will also have health problems." Xiao Qiang barbecued wild pheasant and said, "I'll go back to the woods and pick some mushrooms. It's a pity that there are no pots and bowls here, or I can make soup."
"I still have some vitamin supplements in my backpack. I'll think about it when I finish eating." Zhang Jingyi sighed. She was not in a good mood and said, "I don't know what can change the old Chinese medicine's mind. Melinda's company depends on the formula to survive. Zhang Jia also..."
Xiao Qiang didn't reply. Of course, he knew what the formula meant. It wasn't just Melinda company. In fact, it was Melinda company that could keep Zhang family in Ninghai city. Once the company collapsed, so many people in Zhang family would lose their interests. I'm afraid it would not be long before the tree fell down and the monkeys scattered. Zhang had nothing to do with him, but he didn't want Zhang to break down. After all, there was a treasure of heaven and earth in Zhang. He didn't want to lose it before he got it.
"Creak..." just as Xiao Qiang was thinking, the wooden door of the thatched cottage suddenly opened, and the old doctor came out with a red face. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine. With a broken porcelain bowl in one hand and a broken wine pot in the other hand, he belched in front of them and took a deep breath. After smelling it, he said, "yes, I've been in the mountain for more than 20 years, but I haven't smelled such a fragrant roast chicken for a long time. Xiao you, how about I trade wine for chicken with you? "
Xiao Qiang thought to himself, you old man, you still ignore our existence in front of us. Now when you smell the smell of barbecue, you run out to get a share and trade wine for chicken. Who wants to drink the wine made from wild fruit! It's realistic to be a man.
In his mind, he didn't dare to say, after all, if he was not satisfied, he could only smile and say, "old Chinese medicine, you don't need to exchange wine. Here are three pheasants. I'll give you one."
"That's no good. I've never been favored. I'll either change wine or I won't eat it!" The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine looks like he's not going to be eaten by others. It seems that he's very principled.
"OK, since the old Chinese medicine is noble and virtuous, I don't drink, so I don't need to change the wine. If I really want to change it, I'll take the secret recipe for scar treatment." Xiao Qiang's remark is obviously intended to make fun of him. Of course, he knows that it is impossible to make the old Chinese medicine follow suit with just a few pieces of chicken.
