The rise of the poor

Chapter 16

As soon as the two brothers Zhu Ping'an entered the pharmacy, an elementary apprentice came to greet them, and they did not despise them just because they were dressed plainly. "

Zhu Pingchuan blushed, shook his head again and again, and stuttered a little, "No, we don't see a doctor. We don't get medicine, we sell it." Speaking of this, the voice couldn't help but become much smaller, like a mosquito, I'm really sorry.

"We sell medicine."

Contrary to Zhu Pingchuan's embarrassment, Zhu Ping'an took care of himself and was not shy at all. Seeing that his brother was embarrassed to say it, he took it up.

"Selling medicines, we generally don't accept them." The pupil glanced at the back basket that Zhu Pingchuan was carrying. For the sake of safety, pharmacies usually have specialized suppliers for herbal medicines. Most people do not know how to pick herbs, which often leads to Chinese herbal medicine. Loss of efficacy.These brothers are obviously not drug farmers, and if the two children can have any good things, for the sake of the drug store, they politely declined.

Another apprentice behind the counter dispensed medicine according to the prescription for the women and children who were seeing a doctor. He held on for a while, and then whispered to the apprentice who was receiving Zhu Pingchuan.

Seeing the call from the senior brothers, the primary apprentice who was receiving Zhu Ping'an and the others said apologetically to Zhu Ping'an, "I'm sorry, why don't you go and have a look elsewhere."

It's over when it's done.

Zhu Pingchuan was already cramped. Seeing that the elementary school apprentice refused, his face became even redder, so he wanted to take Zhu Ping'an away.

Is this a disadvantage?

However, Liu Bei was able to take care of the thatched cottage three times, so it wouldn't matter if he ran a few more houses, Zhu Ping'an was ready to leave.

The two elementary apprentices murmured, and one apprentice said embarrassedly to the old Chinese medicine doctor, "Master, all the medicines in this prescription have been taken, but the honeysuckle is missing."

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

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

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

"Brother, why are you going?"

Zhu Pingchuan's voice sounded at the door.

I saw Zhu Ping'an break free, snatched the back basket from Zhu Pingchuan's hand, and ran to the old doctor with both hands hurriedly.

The old Chinese doctor was explaining to the woman apologetically, but the woman wanted to decoct her son a moment 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 elementary school apprentice stepped forward to stop him, fearing that Zhu Ping'an would bump into the noble and disturb the master's diagnosis.

The old genius doctor, a title, simply speaks to the heart of the old Chinese medicine.Who doesn't have a good name, especially a doctor, just because of Zhu Ping'an's words, the old doctor decided to take a look at the herbal medicine in the child's hand and give him a chance.

"Do you have herbs?" The old Chinese doctor just glanced at him casually, but when he didn't want to, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he even tore off two of his beards.

"You are kind, not bad, not bad. If you pick it properly and dry it just right, it can be a top grade." The old Chinese doctor pushed the apprentice away, stepped forward, and picked up a honeysuckle from the basket that Zhu Ping'an was holding. Sniffing at the tip of the nose, the old face rippling with a smile.

When the elementary school apprentice saw the honeysuckle that the old Chinese medicine doctor picked up, he became silent, feeling a little ashamed, and almost pushed out the charcoal sent in the snow.

"Little friend, your honeysuckle, our medicine hall has collected it. Erbao will go and weigh the honeysuckle. First, get the medicine for Mrs. Liu, and then settle the bill for this little friend according to the top grade." He told Zhu Ping'an that he even got closer to the name, and asked the elementary apprentice to call the honeysuckle, and then turned around and chatted with the lady beside him, "Madam, this is a wild honeysuckle, and its medicinal effect is better than that of honeysuckle grown by medicinal farmers. It will be more than double the better, and it will be a day faster to restore the son to health."

Zhu Pingchuan, who was at the gate, heard the old Chinese medicine doctor's words and opened his mouth wide, as if falling into a cloud. The wild flowers that his brother picked in the mountains turned out to be Chinese medicine, and some people actually bought wild flowers.

"Thank you, old doctor." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands in thanks.

Chinese herbal medicines are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the price gap is quite large. According to the purchase of top grades, the price may be more than doubled.

An elementary school apprentice said that an elementary school apprentice packed the medicine for Mrs. Liu and handed it to the maid who was standing by the side, and whispered the precautions.

I heard that because of the honeysuckle this time, her son's condition will recover one day sooner. Mrs. Liu was overjoyed. Before leaving, she asked the maid to reward Zhu Ping'an with a silver naked child.

Zhu Pingchuan on the side has long been messy. The wildflowers in the mountains can not only be sold for money, but there are even people who give them silver.

Zhu Ping'an took the silver naked child, and the chubby face smiled so hard that he could barely find his eyes, and bowed his fat paws to thank them.

"Thank you madam, my little brother will definitely recover quickly."

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

Then, the little maid trotted over with her skirt on her back, and shoved a silver naked child into Zhu Ping'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.

Zhu Ping'an's chubby hand was holding two silver nudes, with a chubby face smiling like a bulldog.

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

"The total amount of honeysuckle is 50 cents for two catties. The top-grade honeysuckle is 38 cents per catty, the middle-grade honeysuckle is 25 cents, and the lower-grade one is 117 cents. According to the high-grade honeysuckle, the total discount is [-] cents." out the price.

Zhu Ping'an is quite satisfied with the price. This medicine hall is relatively fair. There is no shortage of jins or taels. The honeysuckle only weighs [-] jin and [-] taels at home. Don't look at the honeysuckle and take it home, but it doesn't weigh much. Not to mention after drying.

It seems that this is a trustworthy pharmacy.

Zhu Pingchuan was really shocked when he heard the price given by the elementary school apprentice, and he was even more shocked when he saw the lady rewarding Zhu Ping'an with two naked silver coins.

Zhu Pingchuan, like Zhu Shouyi, is dull but not pedantic. He knows that the reward is just an accident. This wild flower called honeysuckle is a long-lasting benefit. You must know that there are many such wild flowers in the mountains.

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

The old doctor instructed the pupils to bring a hanging copper coin from the counter. In front of Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Pingchuan, he counted 120 of them and put them in the basket at Zhu Ping's feet. He smiled kindly, "This is a total of 120 big coins. The three extra ones will be your reward for clearing this old man just now."

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

Afraid that Zhu's father would wait for a long time to worry.

Zhu Pingchuan hugged the basket and walked towards the door with Zhu Ping'an's hand.

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

Hearing this, Zhu Pingchuan had a cold sweat on his forehead. He thought that he might have repented, and he was right. How could anyone buy wild flowers and pay such a high price. He was about to catch up with half a month's day labor.Unable to help, my heart beat drums up and down.

Zhu Ping'an turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else the old doctor?"

"If there are still such medicinal materials in the future, they can be delivered directly after drying. However, the price will fluctuate, so you have to be prepared." The old genius doctor said while twisting his beard. The quality of honeysuckle is really good, and there is still a huge demand for honeysuckle in the pharmacy. Medicines and medicated recipes containing honeysuckle are very common, so I decided to stop them and form a good relationship.

After Zhu Pingchuan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey," repeatedly agreed.
