Sang Yu transmigrated.
She became an illegitimate daughter in a farming family. Immediately after transmigration, she was miserably jilted from an engagement and then married off to a poor an...
Because they were in such a hurry to pick them, some of them were damaged. Seeing this, Sang Yu rummaged through the things and hid them under the wild vegetables and said, "How much do I want for all these?"
The man didn't expect to meet a big customer today. He quickly straightened his expression and stretched out three fingers.
Sang Yu frowned when she saw it. She didn't expect that he would ask for thirty taels of silver. Although she knew that this was a precious medicinal material, all her belongings now were only a little over thirty taels. If she really gave him all, she was a little hesitant.
Seeing Sang Yu frown and not being well dressed, the other party was afraid that Sang Yu would not want it, so he quickly said, "If you don't have money, then two hundred and fifty coins, no less! It's dangerous to pick this old nose!"
Sang Yu: ...
Maybe she hadn't figured out the prices here yet, and she didn't expect them to be so cheap.
"make a deal!"
Sang Yu gave the man one or two taels of silver.
"This is one tael of silver. The rest is a deposit. If you have something like this in the future, you can send it to me."
"Okay, okay." The man didn't expect such a good thing to happen, so he nodded in agreement and made an appointment to come back here in a month. Then he left with the silver.
Sang Yu put these things in his backpack, and finally put the weeds on the top of the basket.
Only then did he ask around and enter the largest pharmacy in the county, "Huichuntang".
As soon as he entered, the medicine boy who was dispensing medicine looked Sang Yu up and down, pursed his lips in disdain, and said, "What are you doing?"
"Excuse me, do you accept medicinal herbs here?"
"Collect." The worker turned around and saw that Sang Yu's basket was covered with weeds. He said with even more disdain, "But we don't collect all medicinal herbs here."
Seeing the snobbish look on the medicine boy's face, Sang Yu knew that the medicine wouldn't fetch a good price. She turned around and was about to leave when someone called out to her, "Miss, please stay. Can you show me what kind of medicine it is?"
After saying this, he was afraid that Sang Yu would be worried, "I am the owner of Huichuntang, my last name is Wu."
"Shopkeeper Wu." Sang Yu walked back and had just put down the backpack when a man came over, pointed at Shopkeeper Wu and started cursing, "How many times have I told you, this is a pharmacy, not a refugee camp. We can't accommodate just anyone."
Shopkeeper Wu frowned and said, "Since we're practicing medicine, there's no reason to differentiate between the rich and the poor, noble and humble between doctors and patients."
"Who has the final say, you or me? If you're so capable, why don't you open your own pharmacy? Then I won't care even if you take in all the beggars in the city!" The man continued, "But this is my pharmacy. If I say no, it's no. She can't get out of here!"
At this time, a burly middle-aged man came in aggressively holding a box.
"Pah—" He threw the box on the counter.
"How dare you sell me fake ginseng? Replace it now, or I'll sue you in the government."
Shopkeeper Wu was taken aback. Before he could say anything, he heard the man say, "Humph, I'm the second-in-command of Huichuntang. We sell genuine medicine at a fair price. How could we possibly sell fake ginseng? I think you deliberately substituted the ginseng to mess things up!"
The man was not a pushover either. He grabbed the medicine boy and opened the box with one hand. "Come and take a look. Is this the ginseng you just sold me?"
The medicine boy was having trouble breathing, his face pale with fear, and he nodded quickly, "Yes... yes."
Sang Yu took the opportunity to take a look at the ginseng. The shape was similar to ginseng, but there was still a problem when looking closely.
Sang Yu took it and smelled it directly, and finally put the ginseng back into the big man's hand in front of everyone's astonishment.
"Well, it's definitely not ginseng."
"What are you talking about, girl? Do you believe me..."
"This is Platycodon grandiflorum. If you don't believe me, you can smell it. Ginseng is solid and has a heart, and tastes sweet. Platycodon grandiflorum is hard and has a heart, and tastes bitter."
Seeing that Sang Yu had pointed out the difference between the two, the second in command's face turned black with anger, but seeing that the man was not one to let things go peacefully, he winked at the medicine boy and replaced the man's ginseng with ginseng, and then looked at Sang Yu.
"You girl, you actually dared to offend our medicine hall. I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore."
"So what if I offend a pharmacy that sells fake medicine?"
Sang Yu was too lazy to stay in the pharmacy. After saying that, he picked up his backpack and turned to leave. Behind him, he heard the second in command roaring, "Give orders to this girl, don't even think about buying or selling medicine in the county anymore."
After Sang Yu walked around the county, he found that all the pharmacies in the county were branches of Huichuntang, which dominated the market. No wonder he could be so rampant.
But I'm afraid today's trip was in vain.
At this time, Wu, the shopkeeper of Huichuntang, came over and said, "Miss."
"Shopkeeper Wu?"
Shopkeeper Wu felt a little sorry for Sang Yu because of what happened in the store just now, so he came out to try his luck and see if he could find her. Unexpectedly, he saw her.
"Miss, you've been a bit impulsive today," said Shopkeeper Wu. "Miss, you know that the second-in-command of Huichuntang is the brother of the county magistrate's wife. He's been a tyrant in Qilai County. You've offended Huichuntang today, and I'm afraid you'll never be able to sell medicine here again. How about I point you to a place where you can try your luck?"
Sang Yu understood. No wonder he was so fearless in selling fake medicine. It turned out that he had a backer!
After thanking Dr. Wu, he set off in the direction.
After turning a few small alleys, she came to a remote house. The house here was narrow, and even the road was rugged and muddy, with few people. When she turned another corner, she heard a whisper. Then she found that there was a pharmacy in a dilapidated house deep in the alley. A white-bearded old man was taking people's pulses, and there were many people standing densely in front of the medicine hall.
Most of them were dressed in tattered clothes. Of course, there were a few who were well-dressed, but they were all queuing in an orderly manner. When they saw Sang Yu coming, they just glanced at her. Only when they saw her about to move forward did someone call her to stop.
"Miss." An old woman in a brown short coat called out to Sang Yu, "Miss, you're here to see Dr. Lu, right? No need to come forward, just line up here early!"
Sang Yu wanted to explain that she wasn't there to see a doctor, but she still obediently went to queue up. Then she heard the old woman continue, "This Divine Doctor Lu has a bad temper. If anyone doesn't queue up, no matter what your problem is, he will definitely kick you out."
Sang Yu hurriedly thanked the old lady and talked to her from time to time while waiting in line. After standing like this for several hours, it was finally Sang Yu's turn.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from behind, and a group of people carrying a man ran over quickly.
"Divine doctor, help!"
