Chapter 94 Get Ahead of Her
"Why are you like this?" Xiao Tao supported Fu Zhaoning, feeling very angry.
Fu Zhaoning stopped her and said, "Forget it, let this uncle who doesn't cause any trouble take a look. Maybe he can tell what kind of medicinal herb this is at a glance."
After hearing what Fu Zhaoning said, the man immediately raised his head and chest, "Do you know who I am? I am the second shopkeeper of Tongfu Pharmacy in Beijing! We run a pharmacy, and we know more medicinal herbs than the snacks you eat. How can I not know you?"
"Manager Hu Er," someone nearby quickly flattered the man, "Manager Hu Er, I heard that your pharmacy always comes to the gambling medicine festival to buy some rare medicinal materials, and the price is good?"
"Of course. Tongfu Pharmacy is no worse than Tianxia Medicine Alliance. We at Tongfu Pharmacy have no shortage of money. As long as the medicinal materials are good, the price is not a problem."
Fu Zhaoning thought of Tongfu Pharmacy.
It was said earlier that the head of the Situ family who opened the Tongfu Pharmacy came from the Tianxia Medicine Alliance. With the Tongfu Pharmacy, the Tianxia Medicine Alliance was divided in half, and its prestige is not as high as before.
Isn’t Situ Bai the son of Tongfu Pharmacy?
"Old Xu, how much do you want to sell these herbs for?" Shopkeeper Hu Er asked the stall owner.
The stall owner, with a somewhat dull expression, held up two fingers.
"Two hundred taels? What's the problem?"
Shopkeeper Hu Er was actually shocked. Such a small pile of bark was sold for 200 yuan? But he knew this old man. He had an old father, a mother, and a wife at home. They were all in poor health. The whole family depended on the old man to dig medicinal herbs and sell them to make money.
Lao Xu was somewhat famous in this small circle because he worked very hard to dig for herbs, even in dangerous places.
"Two thousand taels." The old official shook his head and corrected him.
"puff!"
Many people were frightened.
Shopkeeper Hu Er widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief, "Old Xu, are you crazy because of poverty? Two thousand taels?"
"Yes, it's two thousand taels. These herbs of mine are not easy to come by, and they are worth this price." Lao Xu insisted.
No wonder he brought it here to sell. No one in any pharmacy or clinic outside would buy it. It's too expensive!
Fu Zhaoning also sighed secretly.
She couldn't even take out two thousand taels now.
She looked at the shopkeeper Hu Er and asked, "This uncle can't afford two thousand taels, right?"
Having been forcefully pushed away just now, Fu Zhaoning simply stabbed the shopkeeper Hu Er.
Unexpectedly, when she asked this question, Shopkeeper Hu Er immediately felt embarrassed. He puffed out his chest and said, "Who said I can't afford it? I just haven't figured out what kind of medicinal herb it is. When I figure it out, won't I buy it?"
Having said that, he just stayed here and looked at the medicinal herbs carefully.
At this time, another sigh broke out from Mr. Jia's side.
"Oh, I'm wrong again. So many people have gone up, and I still haven't guessed it right."
"See how much money Mr. Jia has already received."
Mr. Jia had indeed received more than ten silver notes worth one hundred taels each, and was feeling quite proud of himself.
Zhong Jian came to Fu Zhaoning and spoke a few words to her in a low voice.
Fu Zhaoning's heart moved.
Song Yuanlin was really willing to spend money. He even spent money to bribe the people in Renyitang. He wanted to know the medicinal value of this pot of flowers.
And the person her maid went to find was Doctor Li!
"Doctor Li has already given the answer to the little maid, and she is rushing back here." Zhong Jian said.
The little maid got the answer and came back to tell Song Yuanlin. Song Yuanlin should then go up and get the pot of flowers, right?
Fu Zhaoning smiled secretly, turned around and walked quickly towards Mr. Jia.
I'm sorry, she got there first!
Zhong Jian looked at her and was a little surprised. Doctor Li had given the note to the little maid, but he didn't get it. Could it be that the princess already knew what the pot of flowers was used for?
Song Yuanlin looked towards the courtyard gate anxiously, waiting for the maid to come back.
Just then she saw Fu Zhaoning walk up to the pot of flowers, take out one hundred taels and put it on the table.
Song Yuanlin widened his eyes. How did she get up there too?
Sun Lanyin couldn't believe it when she saw Fu Zhaoning go up there. She tugged at Song Yuanlin's sleeve and said, "Yuanlin, what is that little bitch doing up there?"
She had almost no reason to hate Fu Zhaoning. She just hated Fu Zhaoning because she was beautiful. She hated people who looked poorly dressed and probably had a worse family background and position than her but were more beautiful than her.
"Who, who knows?"
Song Yuanlin said he didn't know, but he was actually very panicked.
Because she knew that Fu Zhaoning went to Luoyue Mountain and dug up ten kinds of medicinal herbs! And there was also purple ginseng! Doctor Li still missed the purple ginseng.
Therefore, Fu Zhaoning must know medicine.
What if she really recognized him?
"I want to ask," Fu Zhaoning put down the hundred taels, but his hand was still on it, "If I win the bet, should I give this hundred taels to you or return it to me?"
There was no way, she was very poor, and the one hundred taels was the storage fee that Xiao Lanyuan paid for her to keep the blood-heart silkworm.
As for the cold medicine she sold two days ago and the medical fees she earned from treating Miss Jiang, she gave them all to her family.
Isn't it just gambling to take a chance? If you win, you should get your money back.
"If you can tell it, this hundred taels and this pot of flowers are all yours. Take them all." Mr. Jia looked at this extremely beautiful girl and did not take her seriously at all.
So many doctors have come to see him, and none of them got it right. He didn't believe that the girl could really guess it.
"good."
Fu Zhaoning glanced at Song Yuanlin.
Song Yuanlin was indeed nervous.
She bent down to smell the fragrance of the flowers, picked up a withered flower, and gently pinched the petals.
She was really familiar with this scent.
In the past, a big shot commissioned her to make medicine, and he also took the initiative to tell her that a certain medicinal ingredient was very effective for him. He provided the medicinal ingredient himself, which was dried flowers.
Fu Zhaoning didn't recognize it at first because she had only seen dried flowers before. But now when she smelled the fragrance, she was sure it was that kind of flower.
She picked up the paper and pen next to her and quickly wrote down the answer.
At this moment, Song Yuanlin's maid had returned to her and quietly handed her a note.
Song Yuanlin turned around and took a quick look. When she turned back, she saw Fu Zhaoning walking towards Deacon Jiang with the paper in his hand. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Wait a moment!"
Song Yuanlin immediately screamed and everyone looked at her.
"Isn't this Princess Yuanlin?"
Someone recognized Song Yuanlin.
"I also know what the medicinal effects of this flower are!" said Song Yuanlin.
"Really?" Fu Zhaoning had already stood in front of Deacon Jiang. She looked at the box in Deacon Jiang's hand, turned to Song Yuanlin and said, "Deacon Jiang will be able to finish reading my answer soon. Please wait a moment."
She just can't wait!
Song Yuanlin looked at Fu Zhaoning and felt that she might really know.
"I can write down the answer now and let Deacon Jiang take a look." Song Yuanlin was anxious.
