Chapter 53 Chain Count (1)

Xiao Ruo let out a chuckle, she had to tie the bell to untie it, so she knew that old man Cen would only be able to lift his spirits by moving out of Xiao Niao.

"Okay, okay, just as you said, I only educate her and don't beat her, okay?"

Only then did old man Cen heave a sigh of relief, being comforted by Xiaoruo's coaxing and scaring for a while, the depression in his heart also eased a lot at this moment.

"By the way, let me tell you something."

Xiaoruo saw that old man Cen looked normal again, and then told him what he heard in the Tongji pharmacy today.

When old man Cen heard that Kaitong's new shopkeeper ignored the patients so much and bought out all the aconites in Qinzhou, he was so angry that his beard cocked up.

He said angrily: "No one sees the cultivation, but God knows what is in the heart. Good medicine is the king, conscience is the minister, and the conscience is the assistant. This person dares to do such an outrageous thing. Isn't he afraid of retribution!"

Xiaoruo nodded and echoed, "It's true that he should be allowed to suffer for himself."

Having lived together for so long, old man Cen understood what Xiaoruo's firm tone meant, so he asked, "Girl, do you have any ideas?"

"I have an idea, but I have some questions I would like to ask you." Xiaoruo smiled slyly and said, "I remember that the medicinal effect of aconite is similar to that of aconitum. Do you know if there is any special processing method that can make aconitum into It’s not like ordinary aconite?”

"Not like ordinary aconite?"

"Yes, as long as it doesn't look like an ordinary aconitum from the outside, it should look more...well, more high-end, more expensive."

Old man Cen lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "I once read a prescription from an ancient book. After the aconitum is processed, the medicinal properties are not much different, but the processed aconitum has an eye-catching luster, as if hanging. Like a layer of gold powder."

"Okay! Just use this method! Do many people know this method?"

"This kind of aconitum has the same properties, but it looks different, and it is very troublesome to prepare. Almost no one uses this method, and very few people know about it."

Xiao Ruo was relieved to hear old man Cen say that, and she concocted ten golden black heads that night under the guidance of old man Cen.The golden aconitum head released from the oven is bright in color, and the surface is evenly covered with a thick layer of golden powder, like a piece of heavy gold.

Xiaoruo looked at the ten golden crow heads that were very attractive, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Man dies for money and birds die for food. It's time for him to experience what it means to eat the evil of himself."

The next day, Xiaoruo took Jin Wutou to Tongji Pharmacy to find the treasurer Qian, and told him her plan in detail.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded while listening, and couldn't stop praising: "Good! Good! Good! Miss Xiao is really smart! I'll make arrangements according to what you said!"

He asked his buddy to find a theater troupe passing through Qinzhou, and paid for three actors who had no face. One of them was dressed as a countryman, and the other two were dressed in rich and noble clothes. It looked like they had a lot of money.

The actor dressed as a villager brought a golden aconitum head to open Tong medicine shop, and asked the shop assistant in a low voice as soon as he entered the door: "Is your shopkeeper here?"

The clerk was clever, seeing that the villager was hunched over, as if he was hiding some treasure in his arms, so he lowered his voice and asked, "The shopkeeper is not here now, what's your business?"

The villager opened his skirt to reveal a corner of the Golden Crow's head, and immediately wrapped it tightly with his clothes before the waiter could take a closer look.

Buddy Kaitong felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, before he could see it clearly, it disappeared in front of his eyes again.He was afraid that this man really had something valuable to give to the shopkeeper, and if he delayed, he might be punished.

So he asked the villager to wait in the back hall for a while, and immediately ran to the accountant on the second floor to report the matter.

The shopkeeper Kaitong heard the clerk say that someone downstairs brought him a golden baby, he was happy and puzzled, followed the clerk downstairs to see that there was really a person waiting for him in the back hall.

"What treasure do you have?" He went straight to the point, what kind of politeness is there with a villager.

Seeing that he was wearing gold and silver all over Luo Qi, the village man made sure that he was the shopkeeper of Kaitong, so he carefully took out the shiny golden treasure from his bosom, and held it in front of him with both hands.

"This is?" Shopkeeper Kaitong has never seen this thing before. You say it is gold, but it is not true when you look closely, but this thing is covered with a layer of golden light.

"Back to the master, this is passed down from the villain's family, and it is called Jinwutou."

"Golden Aconitum? Is this medicinal material?"

"Exactly, the villain's ancestors were herbal pickers in the mountains, and he got the golden aconitum by chance. This golden aconitum is as golden in color and extremely rare. Its functions of strengthening yang and strengthening the body are tens of millions of times stronger than ordinary aconitum." The villager saw the shopkeeper. He stared intently at the head of the Golden Crow, and his gaze followed wherever he moved his hand, knowing that the beginning of the plan had been completed.

He pretended to be sad again and said: "If my son didn't need money to marry a wife, I would never sell this. I heard that you are collecting aconite, my lord. Aconitum and aconite have similar medicinal effects, so I don't want to come here Give it a try, maybe your lord is interested in this golden aconitum?"

"Yes! I'm interested!" Shopkeeper Kaitong grinned, revealing his gold inlaid front teeth.

"How do you plan to sell this golden aconitum?"

"A golden black head costs 1000 taels."

"What! It's too expensive!" The guy who was watching the scene at the side exclaimed in surprise.

The shopkeeper Kaitong also restrained his smile, the price of even rare medicinal materials was really outrageous.

"My lord, you don't know that this golden black head is rare in the world. I'm afraid there are only ten pieces in my family's stock in the whole world. If you meet someone who needs a golden black head, let alone 1000 taels of silver, no matter how much money you have, you have to pay for it." Get it!"

Shopkeeper Kaitong was not moved by these words, so what's the use of cherishing things if they have a price but no market?He is not such a fool.

The villager gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I'll put this golden black head with you for now, and I won't accept any money for now. You should think about it first. I'll come back in two days. If you still think it's not worth it, then I'll give it a try again." take it away."

Having said this, the shopkeeper Kaitong nodded arrogantly.

It’s okay to keep things that don’t cost money, this thing is shiny and golden, and it’s okay to keep it as a decoration.

So he asked his clerk to find a glass jar, put the golden black head in it, and put it on the medicine cabinet.

The village man hunched over, shook his head and sighed as he walked out of the Kaitong Medical Center. The posture of turning his head three times at every step made the staff feel a little unbearable.

What the guy didn't know was that the poor villager he thought was pulled into an alley and surrounded by him as soon as he walked out of the sight of Kaitong Medical Center.

Shopkeeper Qian asked nervously, "How is the matter going?"

The village man smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss, I will act according to your instructions. This baby is already on the counter!"

Shopkeeper Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and rewarded the actor who played the villager as agreed before, and told him to wait for the next arrangement.

Everything is going according to Xiaoruo's plan.
