While talking to Sister Guihua, Jiang Huaixu felt someone tug at her sleeve. She looked to her left at Jiang Fu and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Second cousin, why are others so far away from us and looking at us so strangely?"
Jiang Huaixu looked up and saw that they were walking in the middle of the road. People coming towards them avoided them as if they had seen some ferocious beast.
"Is it because they see that we are refugees that they are acting like this..." Liu Ye'er said worriedly.
Jiang Huaixu didn't think so. She thought of something and turned her head to look behind her. Sure enough, she saw Fu Tuan following her leisurely.
Futuan looks twice as big as an ordinary cat and doesn't look entirely like a cat, so it's normal for some people to be afraid of it.
As soon as Fu Tuan saw that the host had noticed his presence, he immediately came over.
On the surface, she was acting like a spoiled brat, but her tone was actually quite arrogant. [Host, how could you come to town without bringing me along?!]
Jiang Huaixu: [I forgot, I forgot. I was thinking of buying you some food to bring back.]
Fu Tuan jumped onto Jiang Huaixu's shoulder and sat upright.
Everyone on the street looked at the man and the cat. They had never seen such a big cat!
Every time Jiang Wei saw this scene, she would exclaim, "Little sister, the blessing ball is so heavy, how come you don't fall over?"
"Sister, please take it down. I won't be able to grow taller."
Jiang Wei had wanted to take action for a long time, and naturally would not miss this opportunity.
As they walked and talked, they arrived at the pharmacy in the town.
Jiang Huaixu led them to the alley next to the pharmacy and said to Liu Ye'er, "Cousin, take Sister Guihua and my sister to buy some food. When you're done, come meet me. Here's ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels of silver?" Liu Ye'er opened her eyes wide in shock.
After Jiang Huaixu persistently recommended his scar removal cream and successfully sold it to Liu Ye'er, there are only faint marks left on Liu Ye'er's cheeks. People who see her no longer pay attention to the scars on her face, but are only attracted by her almond-shaped eyes at first sight.
"Not much. We have a big family, so we bought some more. I'll leave the Futuan for you. It can protect you if you encounter danger."
"What kind of danger could there be on the street?" Jiang Wei rubbed her face against Fu Tuan's fur, looking very happy. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on my sister-in-law and the others! Let's go!"
Jiang Huaixu looked at her back and shook his head, then waved to the other three.
After the three of them left, she walked out of the alley and walked into Zhang's Pharmacy.
Seeing that she was alone, the medicine boy looked behind her and asked, "Young lady, where is your master?"
When Jiang Huaixu heard this name, he turned his head and looked behind him, and finally confirmed that the young lady was herself.
I am so ignorant. I am so ignorant.
"I'm here to buy medicine."
The medicine boy was only surprised for a moment, then led Jiang Huaixu to the queue and said, "You can wait here first."
Soon Jiang Huaixu saw the doctor. The doctor had gray hair. When he saw her coming, he stretched his neck to check her expression and said, "Little girl, are you here to see a doctor?"
"No, I have a relative with a broken leg. The bone has been set. Is there any way to get her back on her feet soon?"
The old doctor asked some more questions, and Jiang Huaixu answered them one by one. He then wrote down the prescription on a piece of paper and waved his hand to Jiang Huaixu, "Go get the medicine."
Jiang Huaixu accepted the prescription but did not leave. "I have a relative who has caught a cold. He has a severe cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, hoarseness in the throat, and a thin and stringy pulse."
The old doctor muttered, "Why are all your relatives sick?"
As he spoke, he began to write down a prescription. "Have you seen a doctor? It's amazing that you explained it so clearly."
"I have a good memory."
Soon another prescription was written. Jiang Huaixu took the two prescriptions to the medicine boy. After picking them up, Jiang Huaixu handed the medicine boy another prescription, which was a prescription she wrote herself to prevent colds.
"For this last prescription, give me twenty doses."
The medicine boy was startled, "Young lady, why did you buy so many medicines?"
"I have a big family."
The medicine boy was speechless. He was busy picking up the medicine, weighing it, and wrapping it up. He was sweating even in the cold weather.
Jiang Huaixu sat and waited for a while, then looked up and saw a familiar figure walking into the pharmacy.
"Doctor Kang, Brother Qi." She called out to them.
Qi Dafu was very happy to see Jiang Huaixu: "Girl, what are you doing here?"
"To buy medicine." Jiang Huaixu asked, "Are you here?"
"I'll come and sell medicine with Dr. Kang."
Jiang Huaixu mostly used the herbs she collected for herself or exchanged them for points. She knew that Dr. Kang also collected a lot of herbs, but she had only seen a few of the herbs that Dr. Kang taught her to prepare.
Kang Ping put the herbs in the basket on the counter to show the medicine boy. The medicine boy was busy preparing the herbs, so he had to call his own shopkeeper over.
The shopkeeper carefully examined the prepared herbs on the counter and nodded, "They're good quality. We'll take them. Is that all we have?"
At this time, Jiang Huaixu saw a medicinal herb on the counter that he had never collected before - Panax notoginseng.
She was extremely surprised. Panax notoginseng is a holy medicine for healing wounds, so the points collected must be very high.
Seeing that Doctor Kang had already started to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper, Jiang Huaixu stepped forward and said, "Doctor Kang, I like one of the herbs you picked. Could you sell it to me?"
Kang Ping glanced at the shopkeeper and asked Jiang Huaixu, "Which medicine?"
Jiang Huaixu picked up the Panax notoginseng root: "This."
The shopkeeper didn't see the Sanqi at first, but when he saw it clearly, he gasped, "This! This—our pharmacy also accepts it!"
"What's the price, boss?" Jiang Huaixu asked.
The price of medicinal materials rose during the disaster. Seeing that Kang Ping and the other man were from other places and might be refugees, the shopkeeper wanted to lower the price. However, seeing Jiang Huaixu's determination, he hesitated and finally quoted the price he had in mind - "One ounce and ten ounces."
Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "Boss, don't think I don't understand the market just because I'm young. Panax notoginseng is a holy medicine for healing wounds, known as 'gold is priceless'. At your price..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but just looked at Kang Ping, "Doctor Kang, I'll give you one ounce, three ounces, seven ounces, how about you sell it to me?"
The shopkeeper was almost breathless, thinking, "How can you raise the price like this? Just double it! Who can bear this?"
Kang Ping had not expected that Panax notoginseng would cause two people to fight over it. He had never seen this medicine before, and he got it by chance. He felt that it was the Panax notoginseng described in the book, so he dug it out. He did not expect that it was really Panax notoginseng, and it could be sold at such a high price!
Not only was Kang Ping surprised, Qi Dafu was even more shocked. "This, this, this, is this medicine? This is gold! !"
"Hey, hey, brother, to be honest, this herb, Panax notoginseng, is truly rare. How about this, one or twenty taels, half for me and half for this girl?"
"Boss, you'd better think it through. Doctor Kang is my brother. If I tell him I need it, he will definitely sell it to me. You and I offer the same price, but you don't have any advantage at all." Jiang Huaixu had a determined smile on his face.
The shopkeeper knew the girl in front of him was trying to force him to raise the price, but he was helpless. Her scheme was open and aboveboard, with good reason and evidence. What else could he say? Raise the price!
He gritted his teeth and quoted another price, "Then it's one ounce, thirty-seven ounces of silver. This is the highest price, and it must not go up any further."
