Chapter 16： twists and turns

Chapter 16 Twists and turns

Immediately after Zhu Ping'an and his brother entered the pharmacy, a young apprentice came over to greet them, and they didn't look down on them because of their plain clothes. "

Zhu Pingchuan blushed, shook his head repeatedly, and stammered a bit, "No, no, we don't see a doctor, and we don't buy medicines, we sell them." When it came to this, his voice couldn't help being much lower, like a mosquito screaming, I'm really embarrassed.

"We sell medicine."

Contrary to Zhu Pingchuan's embarrassment, Zhu Ping'an looked around freely and was not shy at all. Seeing that his brother was embarrassed to say it, he took the words.

"Selling medicines, we generally don't accept them." The little apprentice glanced at the pannier Zhu Pingchuan was carrying. For safety reasons, medicine shops usually have special suppliers for herbal medicines. Loss of potency. The two brothers were obviously not drug farmers, and what good things the two children could have, for the sake of the pharmacy, they politely refused.

Another apprentice behind the counter was grabbing medicines for the women and children who were seeing a doctor according to the prescription. He paused slightly while grasping, and then whispered to the apprentice who was receiving Zhu Pingchuan.

Seeing the senior brother calling, the young apprentice who was receiving Zhu Ping'an and the others said apologetically to Zhu Ping'an and his brothers, "I'm sorry, why don't you go and look elsewhere."

Finished speaking and passed.

Zhu Pingchuan was already embarrassed, but when he saw that the young apprentice refused, his face became even redder, and he wanted to take Zhu Pingan away.

Is this a bad start?

But Liu Bei can visit the thatched cottage three times, so it doesn’t matter if he visits a few more, Zhu Pingan is ready to leave.

Two young apprentices muttered for a while, and one apprentice said to the old Chinese doctor in embarrassment, "Master, all the medicines in this prescription have been grasped, but the honeysuckle is missing."

"Lack of honeysuckle?" The old Chinese doctor who was stroking his beard stopped and asked, "Why is there a shortage of honeysuckle? Didn't you just buy a batch a few days ago?"

"The store clerk didn't keep it well, and the water stains soaked the honeysuckle in stock." The little apprentice explained truthfully.

At this time, Zhu Ping'an had already walked to the door, and his ears keenly caught the conversation between the apprentice and the old Chinese doctor.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhu Pingchuan's voice sounded at the door.

I saw Zhu Pingan broke free, snatched the pannier from Zhu Pingchuan, and rushed to the old Chinese doctor with his hands in his arms.

The old Chinese doctor was explaining to the woman apologetically, and the woman wanted to decoct the medicine for her son earlier, with a worried look on her face.

"Old genius doctor, I have medicine to sell." Zhu Ping'an held the basket in front of the old doctor as if offering a treasure.

"Hey." The little apprentice stepped forward to stop him, fearing that Zhu Ping'an would offend the nobleman and disturb the master's diagnosis.

Old Miracle Doctor, a title that speaks to the heart of an old Chinese doctor. Who doesn't have a good name, especially a doctor, because of Zhu Ping'an's words, the old Chinese doctor decided to take a look at the herbal medicine in the kid's hand and give him a chance.

"Do you have herbs?" The old Chinese doctor just glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly, his eyes lit up and he even tore off two beards.

"You are kind, not bad, not bad, picked properly, dried just right, it can be top grade." The old Chinese doctor pushed away the apprentice, stepped forward, picked up a honeysuckle from the basket held by Zhu Pingan, looked carefully, and put it Sniffing at the tip of his nose, a smile appeared on his old face.

The little apprentice saw the honeysuckle picked up by the old Chinese doctor, and fell silent, a little ashamed, and almost pushed out the charcoal sent in the snow.

"Little friend, your honeysuckle, our pharmacy has collected it, and Erbao will go and weigh the honeysuckle, first get the medicine for Mrs. Liu, and then pay this little friend according to the top grade." The old Chinese doctor nodded in satisfaction, amicably He told Zhu Ping'an that even the titles were shortened, and he asked the little apprentice to weigh the honeysuckle, and then turned around and chatted to the lady beside him, "Madam, this is a wild honeysuckle, and its medicinal effect is better than the honeysuckle grown by Yaonong." It is more than twice as good, and it will be a day faster to restore the young master to health."

Zhu Pingchuan at the gate opened his mouth wide when he heard the words of the old Chinese doctor, as if he was falling into the clouds. The wild flowers that his brother randomly picked in the mountains were actually traditional Chinese medicine, and someone actually bought wild flowers.

"Thank you, old miracle doctor." Zhu Ping'an thanked him with a charming expression.

Chinese herbal medicine is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the price gap is quite large. If purchased according to the top grade, the price may be more than doubled.

A little apprentice said, a little apprentice wrapped the medicine for Mrs. Liu, handed it to the maid who stood by, and whispered the precautions.

I heard that because of this honeysuckle, her son's illness will recover one day sooner. Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and before leaving, she asked the maid to give Zhu Pingan a silver naked son.

Zhu Pingchuan on the side has long been in a mess. The wild flowers in the mountains can not only be sold for money, but there are even people who reward them with silver.

Zhu Ping'an took the silver naked child, with a chubby face smiling so hard that he could hardly see his eyes, and arched his fat paws to thank him.

"Thank you ma'am, my little brother will definitely recover soon."

Mrs. Liu who walked to the door looked back, a little surprised, she turned her head and whispered a few words to the maid beside her.

Then, the little maid trotted over with her skirt in her hands, and stuffed another silver **** into Zhu Pingan's hand.

"Little brother's mouth is so sweet. Madam asked me to give it to you. Go back and buy some delicious food." After the little maid finished speaking, she touched Zhu Ping'an's chubby face, and went to chase Madam with her skirt in her hands.

Zhu Pingan's chubby is holding two silver nudes in his hands, and his chubby face is smiling like a bulldog.

Zhu Pingchuan blushed so much that he really didn't want to know his brother.

"Honeysuckle is a total of two catties, three, two or four. The top-grade honeysuckle is 50 renminbi per catty, the middle-grade 38 renminbi, and the low-rank 25 renminbi. According to the top-grade calculation, the total discount is 117 renminbi." price.

Zhu Ping'an is quite satisfied with the price. The pharmacy is quite fair. There is no shortage of catties or taels. Honeysuckle is only weighed at home. Honeysuckle is not heavy even though it is home with a basket on its back. Let alone after drying.

It seems that this is a trustworthy medicine hall.

Zhu Pingchuan was really shocked when he heard the price given by the apprentice, even more shocked than when he saw the noble lady rewarding Zhu Pingan with two silver nudes.

Zhu Pingchuan is the same as Zhu Shouyi, dull but not pedantic. He knows that the reward is just accidental. This wild flower called honeysuckle is a steady stream of income. You must know that there are many wild flowers of this kind in the mountains.

Thinking about it, I feel a little short of breath.

The old Chinese doctor ordered the apprentice to bring a sling of copper coins from the counter, and in front of Zhu Pingan and Zhu Pingchuan, counted 120 of them and put them in the back basket under Zhu Ping'an's feet, and said with a kind smile, "This is a total of 120 big coins. The extra 3 will be treated as the reward you just gave the old man for rescuing the siege."

"Thank you, old genius doctor, then let's go." Zhu Pingan waved his fat paws in a naive way to thank him, and said goodbye.

I am afraid that Father Zhu will wait for a long time.

Zhu Pingchuan held the basket in his arms, took Zhu Ping'an's hand and walked towards the door.

Just a few steps away, I heard the voice of an old Chinese doctor from behind, "Wait a minute."

Hearing that, Zhu Pingchuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he thought that he might have regretted it, and he was right, no one would buy wild flowers, and he paid such a high price, almost catching up with half a month's part-time job. Can't help, my heart is beating drums up and down.

Zhu Ping'an turned his head and asked, "Is the old genius doctor still doing something?"

"If you still have this kind of medicinal material in the future, you can send it directly after drying. But the price will fluctuate, so you have to be mentally prepared." The old genius doctor said while twisting his beard. The quality of honeysuckle is really good, and there is still a great demand for honeysuckle in medicine halls. The prescriptions and medicinal recipes containing honeysuckle are very common, so I decided to stop them and make a good relationship.

After hearing this, Zhu Pingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Ai ai" repeatedly agreed.
