Chapter 50: Preparing Medicine and Making Pills
“Three precious medicinal herbs.
The most expensive one is called black and white flower.
Worth three hundred taels of silver.
After receiving the news, we rushed there overnight, trying our best to escort this batch of medicinal materials back as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, just as we were approaching Shuiliangou, a group of bandits rushed over and robbed us.
Old Zhao and Xiao Wu were hacked to the ground before they could even meet. If Master Qian hadn't intervened in time, I would have been hacked to death..."
A fellow who was less seriously injured vividly described what happened, his tone full of a sense of having survived a disaster.
"Precious medicine black and white flower?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He also knew about this precious medicine, the black and white flower. It was a precious medicinal flower recorded in the Herbal Classic.
This precious medicinal flower will be black once it blooms. Only after it is picked will it gradually turn white.
Each of its petals contains powerful medicinal properties that can greatly enhance the warrior's qi and blood, helping the warrior to break through bottlenecks, and is extremely valuable.
"These three precious herbs are worth at least four hundred taels of silver in total.
Adding other precious medicinal materials, it comes to five hundred taels of silver.
It is said that money moves people's hearts.
Someone must have been greedy and couldn't help but team up with the pirates to attack us."
The man continued to speak, his tone full of resentment.
Chen Yushu and others listened silently without saying a word.
Because they really couldn't accept this.
They are just apprentices and are not qualified to participate in such things.
…
In the afternoon, Chen Yushu had just finished decocting a pot of medicine when he saw Manager Zhou waving at him and Xu San.
Seeing this, he and Xu San hurried over.
"Come with me and get some medicine from the warehouse."
Manager Zhou looked at the two of them and spoke.
The two did not dare to delay and quickly followed him.
"Manager Zhou, our pharmacy suffered such a huge loss this time. Has the shopkeeper said how to deal with it?"
Xu San was of course very curious about what happened today, and couldn't help but ask.
“It needs to be dealt with.
This time, the loss of medicinal materials is a small matter, but the shame is a big matter.
Although our Liu Family Pharmacy has always kept a low profile, it doesn't mean that we are easy to bully.
In Jianghuan Town, no matter whether it is the government, martial arts school, the underworld town, or even the Tiger Tooth Gang and the Plundering Sea Gang, who doesn't give us some face?
When this happened this time, the shopkeeper was extremely angry.
I just went out and went to the town government office to see the town supervisor.
In addition, the leaders of the Tiger Fang Gang and the Plundering Sea Gang were also invited to meet together.
I think it's time to do something big.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper specifically instructed me to prepare as much Yangyuan Soup and Peiyuan Pills as possible.
Among them, Yangyuan Soup is used for motivation.
The second is for compensation.
For example, the guys who participated in the escort this time, regardless of whether they were injured or not, can each receive two bowls of Yangyuan Soup here.
As for Peiyuan Dan... in the entire Jianghuan Town, only our Liu Family Pharmacy can make it.
Only thirty pieces are supplied to the public each month.
This time, from what the shopkeeper said, he plans to refine more than a hundred pills at once."
Manager Zhou said this and quickly brought Xu San and Chen Yushu to the door of a room in the backyard.
This is the warehouse in the pharmacy.
Many rare medicinal herbs are stored inside.
Among them, the most important are the precious medicinal materials needed to prepare Yangyuan Decoction and Peiyuan Dan.
Gastrodia seeds, water cloud worms, bezoars, Xingyuan grass roots... one by one, the medicinal herbs were selected by the shopkeeper, and then extracted one by one by Chen Yushu and Xu San and carried out.
The final summary showed that there were twenty-seven kinds of medicinal herbs, weighing more than three hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, both of them are very strong, even Chen Yushu now has a strength of over 100 kilograms.
All the medicinal herbs were moved out soon.
In addition to the medicinal herbs in the warehouse, Manager Zhou also took two people to the backyard to find the backyard manager and extracted many common medicinal herbs.
Finally, they all moved to a private room on the second floor of the pharmacy.
“This is the alchemy room in our pharmacy.
Only the shopkeeper and Doctor Jiao are qualified to enter and prepare medicine and boil pills."
Manager Zhou directed two people to carry the medicinal materials into the alchemy room and said with a proud look on his face.
"Preparing medicine? Making pills?"
Chen Yushu asked curiously.
"When preparing medicine, I prepare Yangyuan Soup.
This elixir is made from the Peiyuan elixir."
Manager Zhou did not hide anything and said with a smile: "Do you know why our Liu Family Pharmacy is more famous than other pharmacies and clinics?
In addition to the superb medical skills of Doctor Liu and Doctor Jiao, you can also learn martial arts in our Liu family pharmacy.
Of course, the most important thing is this alchemy room, because we have inherited the alchemy recipe here.
It can be used to make Yang Yuan Soup and Pei Yuan Pills for martial artists to practice."
As Manager Zhou spoke, a look of pride appeared on his face.
Martial arts inheritance.
The inheritance of elixirs that can quickly improve a warrior's strength...these are not something that an ordinary medical clinic can have.
"Manager Zhou, you just said that only the shopkeeper and Doctor Jiao can enter here to prepare medicine and make pills.
Does this mean that within our pharmacy, only the shopkeeper and Doctor Jiao have mastered this aspect of the inheritance?"
Suddenly, Chen Yushu had an idea, as if he had discovered something, and asked back.
"how?
Want to learn? "
Manager Zhou asked with a smile, and when he saw Chen Yushu nod, he said, “Many people want to learn.
But very few people actually have the opportunity to learn it.
The inheritance of alchemy is the most core secret of our Liu family pharmacy.
Unless you are extremely talented.
Otherwise, there is no chance to learn.
Even Xu Lihao, who had tried every possible means to become a disciple of Doctor Jiao and learn the alchemy tradition, was unable to do so.
In the end, I had no choice but to follow Doctor Liu and become a medical apprentice."
"Then what should I do to become a disciple of Doctor Jiao and learn the inheritance of the Dao of Alchemy?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but ask.
“I got first place in the year-end assessment.
Maybe there will be a chance.
After all, Dr. Jiao is old.
He won't be able to work here for a few more years. The shopkeeper told him last year that he should take on one or two apprentices and teach them a bit, and he agreed..."
Manager Zhou said this and didn't mention it any further.
He said everything that needed to be said.
The reason why he confided in Chen Yushu was simply because he was optimistic about him.
After all, he had never encountered anyone who could master the basics of standing meditation within three days in all the years he had worked at the Liu Family Pharmacy in Jianghuan Town.
Naturally, he would not hesitate to provide some convenience to this talented and potential apprentice.
"Get first place in the year-end assessment?"
Chen Yushu's heart trembled.
This requirement is not low.
Especially for someone like him who has just joined the pharmacy.
The starting point is much lower than that of other medicine-making apprentices.
Others studied for one, two, or three years, and some even studied for four or five years.
And what about him?
Less than a month.
The standing meditation has not yet been fully accomplished.
Not to mention that he was definitely far inferior to other apprentices in terms of identifying and recognizing medicines and decocting them.
