If you ask any passerby, who might be from outside the city like you, he may not know the answer. But if you ask a local vendor, you will definitely get the answer.
Going out to eat is still a bit of a luxury for the mother and daughter, so they can only ask the stall owner.
They do business here all year round, how could they not know about any news in the county? In places like this, there is a huge flow of people coming and going, so you don't even need to bother to find out, the news will spread on its own.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask you which is the best pharmacy in Huaxi County?" Xiao's mother also smiled. Isn't this basic courtesy?
The wonton shop owner nodded in understanding when he heard this. He also carefully looked at the clothes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then said:
"I can see that you are here to consult a doctor, right? Let me tell you, the best pharmacy in Huaxi County is Jishantang. The doctors in Jishantang are all disciples of Mr. Su Wubing. Who is Su Wubing? He is a famous doctor who developed a prescription for epidemic diseases and saved the lives of thousands of people. He was awarded a gold plaque by the Holy Mountain and was a miracle doctor.
The main branch of Jizhou Hall is in Jizhou Prefecture. Every day, countless people come to seek medical treatment and medicine, almost breaking the door. However, Mr. Su will not treat patients unless they have difficult and complicated diseases. He has opened a branch of Jishan Hall in our Huaxi County. Since the opening of Jishan Hall, those pharmacies in the city are almost unable to survive. So, if you want to seek medical treatment and medicine, go to Jishan Hall. However, Auntie, I still advise you that unless it is a difficult disease, don't go to Jishan Hall. Other pharmacies can also treat it. Although Jishan Hall is good, the consultation fee is not low. It is difficult for ordinary people to afford it. "
The boss saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dressed poorly, and their family conditions must be very ordinary. As long as the illness was not serious or minor, there was no need to go to some charity to avoid wasting money.
Because of its reputation, the doctors there charge much more for consultation than those in ordinary pharmacies.
Xiao's mother knew that the other person was advising her out of kindness because he saw that she did not look like someone from a wealthy family, but she just smiled and thanked him.
After listening to the boss's description, Jiang Sui knew that he had come to the right place. Since Jishantang was well-known, they would be able to tell the quality of the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng he brought.
Places like this care most about their reputation and generally won't take advantage of ordinary people.
If there is not even this kind of pattern, it can only mean that the Jishan Hall is just in name only.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances, and then tacitly began to work hard on the wontons in the bowl. Xiao's mother adhered to the principle of not wasting food and even drank up the soup.
After paying for the wontons, the mother and daughter carried the basket and asked for directions along the way, heading straight to Jishan Hall.
Jishan Hall is indeed the best pharmacy. It is located on the most prosperous street in the county. The facade is decorated in a very grand and upscale style, and there are servants at the door who are dedicated to receiving patients.
It is said that there is a rule in Jishan Hall that one cannot treat people differently based on their appearance. As long as the patient comes to see a doctor, no matter how rich or poor he or she is, even if he or she is a beggar, he or she must be treated politely. After he or she comes, the doctor will first ask what disease he or she has, and then he or she will be diagnosed according to the areas of expertise of the doctors on duty. Some doctors specialize in treating women's diseases, some specialize in treating broken bones, and some are proficient in treating the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
As for colds and flu, any apprentice who dispenses medicine in Jishan Hall can show you how.
So, when Xiao's mother and Jiang Sui appeared at the door of Jishan Hall, the receptionist immediately came forward to lead the way.
"You two, are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
The receptionist had a smile on his face and spoke gently, which made people feel comfortable and respected.
"Young man, we are not here to see a doctor or prescribe medicine. We are here to sell medicinal herbs!" Xiao's mother stated her purpose directly.
Selling medicinal herbs? The receptionist was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and explained:
"Auntie, we have a special supplier of medicinal materials at Jishan Hall. We don't usually accept scattered medicinal materials. Why don't you go ask someone else?"
Yes, a large pharmacy of Jishantang's scale and reputation must have fixed suppliers of medicinal materials on a daily basis. There will be no mistakes with such fixed suppliers, and even if there are mistakes, it is easier to get to the bottom of them.
However, what they brought were not ordinary medicinal herbs.
After being rejected, Xiao's mother turned to look at Jiang Sui. Jiang Sui gave her a reassuring look, then walked forward and lifted a corner of the floral cloth on the basket in front of the servant, revealing the top-quality purple Ganoderma lucidum inside.
"My dear, what we brought are not ordinary medicinal herbs. Take a look. Is Jishantang willing to accept them? They were picked fresh yesterday, well preserved, and in excellent condition. Please go in and inform the manager. Give us a chance!"
Although they were not apprentices but reception servants, they were exposed to these good things in the pharmacy every day and knew them well.
After Jiang Sui waited for him to see clearly, he quickly covered it with the floral cloth so that his face would not be exposed.
Ordinary medicinal herbs can be picked or planted, and are not rare, but quantity is important. However, tonic herbs like Ganoderma lucidum cannot be planted, and they are not available everywhere even if you look for them. Even if you find them, if they are not old enough, their medicinal value will not be great. But just now, from a glance, the purple Ganoderma lucidum weighs at least eight taels, maybe even a kilogram, which means that the purple Ganoderma lucidum is at least eight to ten years old, or even more.
Jishantang has no shortage of common medicinal materials, but it generally accepts all precious medicinal materials like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and the demand for them in the market is also quite great.
But due to its high price, generally only wealthy people can afford it.
"Okay, I'll go in and report it. You two wait a moment, I'll be right back." The servant ran back to the pharmacy swiftly, found the manager of the Huaxi County branch of Jishan Hall, and briefly explained the situation to him.
After hearing this, the manager asked him to invite the person in and talk in the tea room at the back.
So Jiang Sui and Xiao's mother were led into the tea room of Jishan Hall.
The manager of Jishan Hall was very busy and had many account books to look at, so he didn't have much time. Therefore, he was more direct.
"Gentlemen, let me see the things first. We in Jishantang have always been fair in our actions. If the things are good, we will definitely not let you suffer any loss."
Apart from anything else, this steward is very upright, with a square face, giving people an impression of being impartial and just.
Jiang Sui nodded and placed the two baskets on the table, revealing three Ganoderma lucidum and a ginseng.
The person in charge only took a quick glance and had a general idea in his mind.
