Chapter 102: Just a Little Bit Stingy



Jiang Huaixu first found the pharmacy and told the medicine boy the names and dosages of the medicines she needed. While she was reporting the names of the medicines, she was checking the medicinal materials in the pharmacy and did not notice that the shopkeeper who was counting the money at the side was moving slower and slower.

After reporting the name of the medicine, she looked bored as she watched the medicine boy prepare the medicine, but she was actually chatting with Fu Tuan.

[I remember you said that prepared Chinese herbal medicines can also be redeemed for points?]

[Yes, host, do you want to try it later?] Fu Tuan said lazily.

[Will it be more expensive than unprocessed Chinese herbal medicine? ]

Futuan shook his head. He had never collected any information and didn’t know anything about it.

Jiang Huaixu decided to sell a prescription for points later to see if the prepared medicinal materials were worth purchasing in large quantities.

"Little girl, are you here alone?"

Hearing this familiar rhetoric, Jiang Huaixu's alarm bells immediately rang. She raised her head and looked up. The owner of the drugstore was looking at her kindly, waiting for her to reply.

Seeing that it wasn't a human trafficker, Jiang Huaixu nodded, "One person."

"I wonder who wrote the prescription you just gave me? Is that person in Yaozhou City? What kind of illness does it treat?"

After three consecutive questions, Jiang Huaixu understood the shopkeeper's purpose.

Her eyes suddenly became eager when she looked at the owner of the drug store, like a cat seeing a fish.

"The prescription was written by my master. My master travels all over the world, and few people know where she is. Even I don't know where she is now."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner's eyes became even more heated, and he asked, "What is your name, Master?"

"My master has long since left the mundane world. She specifically instructed me not to use her name in the world."

The shopkeeper showed regret, thought for a moment and asked again, "I wonder why you bought so many cooling and detoxifying herbs?"

Jiang Huaixu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, I'm only saying this to your pharmacy. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on whether you believe it or not.

You should have guessed that I'm a refugee. Along the way from Huai'an Prefecture to Yaozhou City, I discovered that some places were plagued by rats. In the villages affected by the rats, people were suffering from rashes, mild and severe fevers, and headaches. I suspect this is plague."

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, and he became restless. He asked repeatedly, "Did you see what you said with your own eyes? How many people on the road have this disease?"

Jiang Huaixu nodded heavily.

After a slight panic, the shopkeeper calmed down.

He frowned and pondered carefully. "Several of the herbs in your prescription are indeed suitable for the symptoms you described, but... I have never heard of the combination of the main and auxiliary herbs in this prescription. Could you explain a little bit?"

Jiang Huaixu said awkwardly, "Shopkeeper, this prescription was developed by my master after years of painstaking research. There are different prescriptions for different symptoms, and I didn't intend to buy them all in one pharmacy."

The shopkeeper naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Huaixu's words. He paced back and forth in front of Jiang Huaixu several times, and finally clenched his fist with one hand and hit the palm of his other hand. "How about this, my friend, we at Zhang's Pharmacy don't charge for the herbs you need. Just consider it as buying your prescription. What do you think?"

The fish had already taken the bait, so Jiang Huaixu said, "Even if I don't sell you this recipe, you've probably remembered it. How about this? This previous recipe is for mild fevers. I'll give you a recipe for Sanhuang Shigao Tang for severe fevers. In addition to the news I told you about the spreading plague, how about you give me some herbs for treating colds and repelling snakes, insects, rats, and ants?"

When the shopkeeper saw that Jiang Huaixu was not surprised at all and looked calculated, he knew that he was probably in trouble with this little girl.

He was not a man who would drag his feet. As the owner of a pharmacy, he naturally knew the value of a prescription, so he agreed after only a moment's thought.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Jiang Huaixu simply memorized the recipe and indications of Sanhuang Gypsum Soup.

Finally, Jiang Huaixu took the sack given by the owner of the medicine shop, which was filled with many medicinal herbs, and walked out of the medicine shop without spending a penny.

After asking a passerby about the location of the carriage and horse shop, Jiang Huaixu rushed there without stopping. Only then did he realize that he had thought buying an ox cart was too simple. Not only did he have to register the ox, but the cart also had to be made on the spot. When could he do that?

She lingered in the carriage and horse shop for a long time, and finally took a last look at the cow she had her eyes on. She was about to leave, but she heard a man coming in with a donkey cart arguing with the shop assistant. She listened in the corner for a while and found out that the man was going to sell the donkey cart, but felt that the price offered by the assistant was not to his liking.

Jiang Huaixu's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to listen for a while. The donkey was a good five-year-old donkey and had no diseases. The seller's family had encountered some difficulties and wanted to sell the donkey cart to get through the period.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Huaixu walked out of the carriage and horse shop in high spirits, leading the donkey cart he had intercepted. He bought some noodles, snacks, meat and the like along the way, and at the same time quietly transferred some cotton, biscuits, ham and canned food out of the space.

After doing all this, she drove the donkey cart while buying a mirror in the mall with delicate glass stones of various colors inlaid on the back as a prize for finding her aunt.

When she returned to the street corner where Boss Jiang was, she saw from afar that Boss Jiang was making the "Xi Shi Holding Her Heart" gesture again.

Her father is good in every way except that he is a bit stingy.

Jiang Huaixu waved to Jiang Lao Da with a bright smile, and Jiang Lao Da immediately stepped forward and led her down from the donkey cart.

"Why do you really buy so many things?"

Intent on relaxing Boss Jiang's tightly furrowed brow, Jiang Huaixu patted the sack of medicinal herbs on the ox cart and asked, "Dad, guess what this is?"
