133 Someone came to the door
Ping'an looked at Fang Wu who was acting shy. He felt a little uncomfortable seeing the usually carefree boy acting like this.
"You need me for something?"
"Master, can you take Xiaohu in? He is very good at martial arts, only slightly worse than me, and he can endure hardships."
Ping An took over the conversation: "You are quite brave."
Fang Wu lowered his head. This time the matter was quite serious. He had also asked Xiaohu about it. It was Erqiang who asked him to take it over, but Xiaohu didn't let him say anything, so he couldn't say anything either.
"Come back next spring. If he behaves well, it's not impossible to ask the master for help."
Fang Wu grinned: "Thank you, Master. I'll let him practice his Kung Fu well."
Ping An waved his hand: "You keep busy, don't stop learning skills, I have to go to the pharmacy too."
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and he was going to go back to the village on the 22nd. He didn't know how his parents were doing. He wanted to be reborn and live a good life, being a happy boy again.
Because Master Qin promised Xiaoshan that he would stay in the valley for three years, he often took him to his side and gave him some private lessons these days. Of course, his apprentice Zhang Xiaoshan was also there.
The special meal also includes life-saving medicines given by the master: knockout drugs, itching drugs, sleeping pills, etc., as well as some poisons, the ingredients of which include the red spider lily discovered in the past two days.
In fact, he also remembered the ingredients of some obedient water, nice water, and drugs that caused mental disorders in his previous life, but he didn't want to tell them. He thought that after Master Qin taught him everything, he could mix them himself in the future.
He has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but he lacks practical experience.
But Master Qin only taught him and Xiaoshan, and he could not teach others without the master's permission.
When they arrived at the pharmacy, he went directly to Master Qin's hut, while Qingshi and Wu Jun went to other masters' workshops.
Zhang Xiaoshan came here early in the morning, entered Baicao Valley, and followed his master. He seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and his enthusiasm for making medicine was high and he was obsessed with it.
"Master Qin, I'm here."
Master Qin was a government slave who had never married in his life. He had been in the Sun family for thirty years and was now fifty years old. Ping An once accidentally addressed him as "you", and he immediately asked him to take it back, saying that how could a slave deserve the respectful title of Master Ping An?
After that, Ping An was very careful when speaking to these masters and respected them, but he would not cross the line, otherwise he would embarrass them and become a joke in the eyes of outsiders.
Some habits that are deeply ingrained from the previous life are really hard to change.
"Master Ping An, today I will teach you a more powerful drug. Just one drop can paralyze the nerves of a person or an animal, and it will take a few days to recover. But if you use three drops, it can make the person suffer a kind of torment that is neither alive nor dead. However, this drug is very powerful and the ingredients are precious. The eldest master does not allow anyone to use it easily."
It's not that he doesn't allow others to use it easily. It's just that he, the eldest son and Fang Xiao are the only ones who have it.
Ping An pretended to be confused, but his heart was pounding. When he rescued Yuan Qing, the man named Tu wanted to harm them. When his master couldn't bear it anymore, he thought he was asleep. He heard what Ruyi said when she came in. It should be this kind of potion.
"Master Qin, can we grow this kind of medicine in our valley?"
Master Qin was silent for a moment, but still whispered to him: "There are some in the valley. Master Hou and I planted them. Most people don't know it, it's called Drunken Flower. The flowering period is basically over, and there are only the last batch left. Go with the owner of the valley to pick them in two days."
Ping An breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed the Datura. In ancient times, the Datura was called the Drunken Flower or the Intoxicating Flower. It is the material for making top-grade anesthetics.
But the toxicity is so great that pharmaceutical companies often hide the poison, otherwise it will cause trouble. If a powerful person wants to use this drug to harm others, will you give it to him or not?
I definitely can’t give it to you. If something goes wrong, I will just push you out.
"Master Qin, can you take me with you? I won't tell anyone."
Master Qin was in a dilemma. Is it okay to let such a young child know? But the eldest son told him that there was nothing to hide from Master Ping An.
"Wait for me to discuss this with the Valley Master."
Ping An grinned, "Okay, Master Qin, let's get started."
In his estimation, such a precious poisonous flower should be planted at the bottom of the cliff. There must be a path leading to the bottom of the cliff, but if you don't have the time, don't even think about going down.
His desire to explore the mystery was already stirring.
At this time, Sun Sicheng received an invitation from the young master of Huichuntang, asking him to meet at Juxuan Tower in two days.
Baicaotang and Huichuntang are both top-notch medical companies in Dazhou, but in terms of origin, Huichuntang was founded fifty or sixty years earlier than Baicaotang, and has always been superior to Baicaotang.
Of the medicine supplied to the border town military camp, the Sun family accounted for 60%, the Zheng family accounted for 30%, and another family with the surname Li accounted for 10%.
It was only because the two first aid methods were widely spread and the Yuhang prefect spared no effort to report them that the emperor was very pleased and gave the head of the Sun family a nominal position of a fifth-rank official.
This makes Baicaotang superior to other medical giants, including Huichuntang.
What was the matter with this young master Zheng asking him out? The two of them were just nodding acquaintances, smiling on the surface but not in the heart. As the saying goes, people in the same industry are enemies, and the old saying is correct.
But since they have posted it, I will just go and take a look the day after tomorrow.
Two days later, Juxuan Tower.
As soon as Sun Sicheng went upstairs, he saw Zheng Qiuyang, who was smiling, coming out of the private room to greet him: "It's been almost a year since I last saw you, brother Sun. I miss you so much, brother Sun, please come in."
Sun Sicheng raised his lips and said, "Brother Zheng, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?"
I miss him after not seeing him for a year. Maybe he hates him secretly? How come two emergency treatments suddenly appeared? And they are widely circulated?
Who made me find a good apprentice?
Many people's apprentices often make the masters angry, but their own apprentices are the ones who come to repay their gratitude. This is fate, this is destiny, and there is nothing he can do about it.
As soon as Sun Sicheng sat down, Zheng Qiuyang personally poured him tea.
"Brother Sun, this is Yunwu Maojian, it tastes good, you can try it, if you like it, I will give you a pound later."
Yunwu Maojian is very rare. I heard that the real Yunwu Maojian produces about 100 kilograms a year, most of which goes into the palace, and a small amount is in the hands of dignitaries.
Not only is it expensive, but it is also very difficult to deal with. Sun Sicheng has always been a very honest person and can drink any kind of tea. It would be better to use the money to make more clothes for the people in the valley.
But there is no reason not to take something that comes to your door.
"Brother Zheng, this is a rare opportunity. How can I have the nerve to ask for your favorite?" Sun Sicheng asked half-truthfully. He didn't like to guess all the time. "Brother, if you need my help, just tell me. I will do what I can. If I can't, there is nothing I can do."
Zheng Qiuyang chuckled and said, "I do have something to discuss with Brother Sun. If Brother Sun agrees, I won't let you down."
"What's the matter?" Sun Sicheng really couldn't guess.
"Brother Sun, let me be frank. My Zheng family only supplies 30% of the medicine for the border town. If we supply it, the quantity is not large and we have to run around. If we don't supply it, Huichuntang has been a century-old shop and has been doing military camp business. It is difficult for us here to interfere in the southwest military camp." Zheng Qiuyang shook his head and sighed.
Sun Sicheng's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"
"To be honest with you, brother, can you give me 20%?" Zheng Qiuyang tried. 20% would mean 50%, while the Sun family would become 40%. They might not agree, but 10% would be fine. The profit of the military business is still good.
Sun Sicheng looked at him, seeming a little confused.
Zheng Qiuyang was somewhat embarrassed: "If my brother is willing to give up, I am willing to give you a medicine store. If you give me 20% more, I will give you the hot spring villa on Songhua Mountain directly. It is not easy to buy that place even if you have silver."
Sun Sicheng pretended to be helpless and said, "Brother, don't tempt me. I must have heard from that brother that I really miss the hot spring villa, right?
But it's difficult for my brother. Although I may be the head of Baicaotang, I still have to discuss important matters with my grandfather and father. Needless to say, they probably won't agree. If I agree secretly, I'm afraid I'll be punished by the family in the future."
Zheng Qiuyang felt amused. His family had two hot spring villas. The one on Songhua Mountain was the bigger one. He had heard before that Young Master Sun had a bad idea.
Xiaozhuangzi couldn't lure such a person, and he spent a lot of money.
