The next morning, Shen Qingyu followed Qi Yunxiao by car to the prefectural city.
Qi Yunxiao was going to Guiyun Tower, while Shen Qingyu was going to get medicinal herbs to make spice packets for braising.
Although the space mall has it, you can't rely on it alone when you need a lot of things; those who are observant can see that.
Since there are always so many "interested people," it seems a bit wrong not to do something.
So Shen Qingyu went to the herbal medicine shop in Tongxin Prefecture.
This herbal medicine shop is owned by the Qian family. The shopkeeper had seen Shen Qingyu at Yu Qiao's wedding banquet and greeted her cheerfully, "What would Madam Shen like?"
Shen Qingyu chuckled and said, "Just give me two jin of each of the items on the order!"
The shopkeeper took the order, looking at it as he called out, "Okay...hey...Madam Chen, what's this for?"
Something's wrong with this prescription!
How come it has everything?
The shopkeeper dared not sell.
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "I have a use for you, don't ask."
The shopkeeper probed, "Does Madam Shen also know medicine?"
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "I know a little."
The shopkeeper understood: anyone who dares to say they know a little about something must actually know a lot.
Are there any requirements regarding the year?
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment: "One year's supply will do."
"Alright then..."
Two catties of Dendrobium officinale!
Two catties of ginseng!
Two catties of Polygonum multiflorum!
Two catties of pearl powder!
Two catties of Ganoderma lucidum!
Two catties of Cistanche deserticola!
Two pounds of star anise!
Two catties of cinnamon...
All the portions were weighed and filled into a large basket.
The shopkeeper was shocked as he looked at the enormous sum of money on the abacus!
“Madam Shen, these medicinal herbs, rounded down, will cost a total of three thousand five hundred taels of silver.”
This is because the medicinal herbs are not of high age.
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Do you have any medicinal herb seeds here?"
The space has many spiritual fields, and after being upgraded, their growth rate is several times faster than outside. It would be a waste to use them to grow rice, flour, and vegetables.
If used to grow medicinal herbs, its value would be immeasurably higher.
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then said, "Yes..."
Some medicinal herbs are seeds themselves.
Shen Qingyu asked the shopkeeper to pack several packets of the valuable seeds for her.
Given that Shen Qingyu had purchased so many medicinal herbs, the seed shopkeepers did her a favor and didn't charge her.
Shen Qingyu ordered the servants to load all the medicinal herbs onto the carriage and then prepared to head to Guiyun Tower.
The shopkeeper chased after her, holding up a folded piece of paper: "Madam Chen, your prescription?"
Shen Qingyu waved her hand without turning her head: "I'll leave it here with you. I'll come back to buy it next time."
A man squatting by the wall selling eggs saw this scene and his eyes flickered slightly.
Just as Shen Qingyu left the pharmacy, a man in a blue robe and a small hat walked in: "Shopkeeper, Madam Shen said she didn't buy enough medicine and asked for another serving!"
Is that not enough?
The shopkeeper gave the man a strange look, but without hesitation, he instructed the pharmacy clerk, "Make another one according to the same prescription!"
The pharmacy clerk gave the man a strange look before turning back to his work.
Another large basket of medicinal herbs was packed up, and the man asked while taking out his money bag, "How much silver?"
Shopkeeper: "Same as before, three thousand five hundred taels of silver."
The man's hand stopped, his eyes widening: "What did you say? How much silver?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the man with disdain: "Three thousand five hundred taels of silver. What? Didn't Madam Shen tell you? Or are you not sent by Madam Shen at all?"
The man was taken aback, then gritted his teeth: "How do I know if I've prepared the wrong prescription? Let me check the prescription first, then I'll give you the money."
The shopkeeper sneered, "This is Madam Shen's recipe, and it's supposed to be kept secret according to the rules. If you don't want to buy it, then hurry up and leave. If you're too slow, I'll send someone to fetch Madam Shen!"
Man: "!!!"
The man didn't have enough money or the necessary authority, so he had no choice but to leave.
After a few turns, the man entered a secluded courtyard in the prefectural city.
A pretty woman dressed in fine silk sat in the courtyard; it was Shen Qingyao.
After the man reported, Shen Qingyao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Steward Zhao.
Manager Zhao snorted: "The master can decide this matter himself."
Anyway, they won't share any of the money they earn with themselves.
Shen Qingyao was stunned for a moment, realizing she couldn't rely on Steward Zhao. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "Alright! Take it..."
As soon as the man left, the shopkeeper sent someone to find Shen Qingyu and ask if it could be sold.
Shen Qingyu smiled: "Sell it. It's fine."
When the man took the money and went to the pharmacy, the shopkeeper still smiled and took the money and gave him the medicine.
At the villa in the prefectural city, Steward Zhao and Shen Qingyao stared in disbelief at the open packages of medicinal herbs in front of them.
These medicinal herbs are mainly tonics, and they are all relatively young and not very valuable.
In other places, a prescription for tonic medicine is sold by the gram, but here it's sold by the kilogram, which is why it's so expensive.
Shen Qingyao and Steward Zhao originally thought that by following the prescription, they could at least tell what medicinal materials were used.
But who would have thought that the only things that actually looked like them were star anise and cinnamon?
These two items were things they had figured out from that powder earlier, and they were very cheap.
The remaining dozens of various nourishing medicinal herbs... does anyone know what's in the braised meat recipe?!
Shen Qingyao slammed her hand on the table in a fit of rage: "Three thousand taels of silver, and this is what you bought for me?"
The man in the blue robe and small hat lowered his head, a hint of resentment flashing across his face.
You told me to buy it, so I bought it.
You blame me when things don't go your way?
