v2 Chapter 44： check, buy medicine

Just as Dong Chenghu and Dong Yi and Dong Xiao walked to the door of the pharmacy, a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides. Sheng, are you not a local, what are you doing at the pharmacy?"

Look at their posture, if Dong Chenghu doesn't answer well, they will act directly.

Dong Chenghu's heart is tight. After they have done that task, what they are most afraid of is seeing the officers and soldiers.

At this time, Dong Chenghu had unconsciously started to sweat cold, and his eyes were a little frightened, he pretended to be calm and said: "Misters, we are hunters in Qingping Mountain. They only come to town during the New Year or when they sell game."

The shopkeeper quickly looked at Dong Chenghu, nodded violently, and said in fear: "Master, they are hunters from Qingping Mountain, and they used to come to me to buy medicines, most of which are to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. of medicine powder, and occasionally buy antipyretic medicinal materials.”

The leading officers and soldiers looked at Dong Chenghu and the others again. Dong Chenghu had calmed down a lot at this time, and his mind had turned. Seeing that the officers and soldiers still didn't believe it, Dong Chenghu said: "If the officer does not believe it, the town Lord Chang can testify for us, we bought land and had a lawsuit before, and we have dealt with the mayor, and the mayor must still remember Caomin.”

The officers and soldiers who led the team heard that since Dong Chenghu had asked the mayor to testify for him, most of the doubts in their hearts went away, and they did not really ask Dong Chenghu to call the mayor, but warned: "Recently, the town has It's not very peaceful, you leave after buying things when you have nothing to do. Besides, medicines in pharmacies cannot be sold at will, what kind of medicine do you want to buy? How much?"

These latter questions prove that the officers and soldiers still do not fully believe them.

Dong Chenghu said truthfully: "We usually get injured when hunting in the deep mountains, and the wound medicine is consumed very quickly, and my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, I want to give her some medicinal materials, and also Let's see if there are any tonics for the body, and if it's not too expensive, buy some. We don't want much, enough for the three of us for about the first half of the year."

"Since you are hunters, why haven't you seen the prey?" The officers and soldiers are jumping bones from eggs.

Dong Chenghu couldn't, so he had to cry: "If you didn't ask, I wouldn't say, after the field was moved last year, I don't know what happened, the big prey in the mountain was less than half, we I have been walking in the mountains for many days this time, so I got some roe deer and hare pheasants. It’s not the New Year’s day. These things are kept for home use, and the gifts of the year are almost the same. Where can we sell them? Fortunately, our family is here There is a shop in the county, and the family still has some fields, so it is not impossible to live without getting prey.”

local patrol.

Dong Chenghu watched the soldiers leave, and then stepped into the pharmacy fearfully, "The shopkeeper, give me some medicines to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, and also give me some medicines for qi and blood. , is there any ginseng for sale at the shopkeeper's side?"

When the shopkeeper heard that Dong Chenghu wanted ginseng, his eyes widened in shock, and he asked, "How much do you want?"

Dong Chenghu thought for a while, and muttered: "My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I have to prepare some, my eldest sister is weak, and she has to hang herself on ginseng, so I need some..."

Dong Chenghu looked up at the shopkeeper and discussed, "The shopkeeper, I can't afford too much, but the family really needs ginseng right now, do you see if you have any older ones here? Bring me three or four."

"Older? Three or four more! You think ginseng is a radish!" Although the shopkeeper said so, he still turned to the inner courtyard to get medicine.

The three of Dong Chenghu followed behind him. The shopkeeper asked them to wait in a guest room while he went to the warehouse.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out with some boxes, "These are the most valuable ginseng in our store, all of them are more than 50 years old, there are six in total, but I can't I'll sell them all to you, you can choose, and at least keep two of them for me."

If his pharmacy does not have one or two ginsengs that are more than 50 years old, it will be troublesome if someone needs him out of stock, and it is not convenient to buy them now.

Dong Chenghu asked inexplicably: "The shopkeeper, it stands to reason that we have all bought you, so you can make more money, why don't you let us buy it?"

In a dilapidated house, the imperial court was furious when they found out about it, and sent many officers and soldiers to Dongyang County to investigate the matter. My Yongjia County is adjacent to Dongyang County, so it will inevitably become the focus of investigation.

, will be their target, so you were just being questioned. Alas, you are already the fifth wave of people being questioned today. If this continues, my shop will close sooner or later. "

The shopkeeper sighed, if it wasn't for the expensive medicines Dong Chenghu and the others bought today, he could make a lot of money, and the shopkeeper wouldn't talk to them so much.

But from the shopkeeper's words, the three also got a lot of useful information, Dong Chenghu pretended to be curious and asked: "Have the gangsters who hijacked the yamen still not found? Isn't it possible that we can't go to the county town in the future? Our family still has shops in the county town!"

In business, if you don’t make money, you have to be frightened every day.”

Dong Chenghu nodded, but what the shopkeeper said was the truth.

They picked four ginsengs of the largest age, bought some powder, and paid one hundred taels of silver before withdrawing. They originally planned to spend the night in the town, but now it seems that they have forgotten it. If this night is not good, there will be many changes.

Dong Chenghu and Dong Yi and Dong Xiao discussed it, and the three spread out to buy and try to reunite in the suburbs before dark.

Dong Yi and Dong Xiao nodded, one went to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the other went to the grocery store to buy those sweet and sour seasonings, as well as food such as candy for the New Year.

Dong Chenghu went to the cloth village to pick up the cloth and cotton needed by the buyers, and then bought some brocades, which might also be useful.
