Chapter 820 Sky-high Price
Jiang Xiaoxiao studied the recipe thoroughly and could even recite it backwards.
Jiang Xiaoxiao prepared lunch by herself. The old lady was alone and she was so old that Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to let her do it.
A simple meal.
Boiled fish, mapo tofu, cold spinach, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
When Hao Zhigang returned home and looked at the table full of food, he was a little dumbfounded.
After all, I feel better.
The little girl is quite sensible.
After the meal, Hao Zhigang gave a thumbs up.
These days, my great-grandmother's health has been getting worse day by day.
Cooking is too difficult for grandma, but she is busy outside on weekdays.
I have no time to take care of my grandmother. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. This is a home-cooked meal, so it tastes different from those sold on the street.
He felt quite unsatisfied after eating. Didn’t he see that the old lady had eaten two bowls of rice today? Compared with her usual amount of food, the old lady was really giving him face today.
He became even more friendly towards Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Fan...Auntie!"
It's so damn frustrating. I feel like I've been shortened for nothing.
It’s all grandma’s fault.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You should just call me Xiaoxiao."
Hao Zhigang likes Jiang Xiaoxiao more.
"Now that we have eaten and drunk enough, I will take you to the street at 5pm. Although the medicine market is open all day, most people don't come out in the morning.
That is, after 4 or 5 p.m., serious businessmen will start selling soup. At that time, the market has everything you need. You can buy anything you want. There is nothing you can’t buy, except the money you can’t afford.”
How many people come here for this!
The two of them set out at five in the afternoon.
Jiang Xiaoxiao specifically asked Hao Zhigang and brought a bank card.
I am not considered rich, but I do have money in my bank card. Don't ask me whether I can use the money.
When asked, No. 9 said yes.
Number Nine also hoped that Jiang Xiaoxiao could buy the medicine she wanted.
They don't care about money.
There is half a million in the card.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't know where such a large sum of money came from.
It’s obvious that it was number nine who caused this.
Anyway, there are a few fewer crystals.
She pestered the old lady with a lot of questions this afternoon, of course, all about alchemy.
As soon as the old lady heard the girl's tone of voice, she knew what was in her mind, but she did not hide it. She just smiled faintly and answered every question without reservation.
I know in my heart that if any layman can make this medicine through word of mouth, it cannot be called a secret recipe.
The secret recipe naturally has its own unique secrets.
But the old lady would never reveal the secret even if she was beaten to death.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's natural intention this time was to buy all the medicines on the prescription and make them herself. Of course, this was just to practice.
You also need to see if your medical talents can be applied to this and see if there will be any other effects.
Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally had her own plans in mind.
Of course she knows how to make medicine.
Jiang Xiaoxiao can also make some Western medicine formulas by herself, but she has never dabbled in Chinese medicine. That's why she needs to start from scratch this time.
Following Hao Zhigang riding on the small motorcycle, the two came to the medicine market.
It was already dark when they arrived.
The two of them had to go through many twists and turns to get here. If Jiang Xiaoxiao had come here alone, she would definitely not have known.
The city is full of ancient and quaint buildings, and half of it is actually a medicine market.
If she was passing by alone, the most likely possibility was that this was some kind of garden building.
A garden landscape left over from ancient times.
There are strict guards at the door.
right!
There were actually guards, and they were armed. Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at them carefully and confirmed that they were real.
There is obviously no restriction here that prohibits the use of weapons.
However, when entering, a special magnetic card is required. Jiang Xiaoxiao then realized that without Hao Zhigang leading the way, she would not be able to enter.
When you enter the door, you will be scanned by a security machine, just like the security check on an airplane.
Think about the level of rigor.
The people queuing at the door were very orderly. No matter they were men or women, young or old, well-dressed or ordinary, everyone kept a strict distance from each other.
Everyone seemed to have a pious attitude towards entering.
But it’s different after you go in.
The world inside was no different from the vegetable market that Jiang Xiaoxiao had seen.
right!
It’s the vegetable market!
There was a lot of noise, various sounds of people shouting out prices, people negotiating prices, and all kinds of down-to-earth small stalls.
A piece of plastic cloth can be a stall, and a stall is made up of just a few unnamed medicinal herbs.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt like she had entered another world.
Hao Zhigang felt slightly proud as he looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao's fixed gaze.
Little girl, open your eyes.
Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed at a glance that the stall was selling bottles and jars of medicine.
Each bottle is labeled with a name.
Qingxin Pills, Guiyuan Pills, and Liuwei Dihuang Pills are all available.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at them and didn't know what these medicines were for.
A western doctor really doesn't know. Mainly, Guiyuan Dan and the like, why do they sound so much like elixirs for cultivation? Are they for patients to take?
Is it possible that there is still a way of cultivation in this world?
"Little girl, this Guiyuan Pill is a good thing. After taking it, I guarantee that you will get rid of the impurities, cleanse your internal organs, and be full of vitality. Although it cannot help you become an immortal, it is very beneficial to people, especially those who want to practice martial arts, and it will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The price is absolutely fair, a bottle of ten pills for only five thousand yuan. Five thousand yuan won't buy you a scam, it won't buy you a scam. It will buy you your health. Want a bottle?"
The stall owner had a big beard and was looking eagerly at the little girl with shining eyes at his stall.
At the age of twenty, he must be interested in physical training and martial arts, otherwise he would not look down on this Guiyuan Pill.
Have you ever met such a person? Even though five thousand yuan is a high price to pay, money can't buy his willingness.
Hope to meet a fool.
Jiang Xiaoxiao curled her lips, five thousand yuan?
Hao Zhigang looked even more disdainful.
"Xiao Xiao, don't believe him. He's still offering five thousand dollars. Why don't you just go and rob him? After taking a first-grade Guiyuan Pill, at most you'll fart a few times and feel a little more comfortable. What's the point? He's still offering five thousand dollars. Who are you trying to fool?"
As soon as the bearded man heard what was said, he knew that he had met an expert. His expression changed and he looked like a ruffian.
"Since you are an expert, why are you here to mess things up? Go away, don't try to set traps for me. I am still doing business."
This is a direct way of driving people away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up and Hao Zhigang introduced this place to her.
"You won't find the elixir you want on the street stalls. If you want the kind of magic medicine that can really cure diseases and save lives, or even bring the dead back to life, you have to look in those shops over there! The shops over there sell pills above level five, which are truly worth a thousand gold coins. It's not that you can't find bargains at the small stalls, but they're not very valuable.
If you need some medicinal herbs, they are actually much cheaper at street stalls.
But you have to keep your eyes open. The rules here are the same as those in other antique shops. You have to accept the loss after you buy it. If you buy fake medicine, it means you are incompetent. You have to admit your mistake."
Hao Zhigang’s words made Jiang Xiaoxiao even more curious.
The rules of this world are really hard to believe.
It's completely different from their code of conduct.
It really feels like the law of the jungle.
Looking at the modern mobile phone, Jiang Xiaoxiao thought she had come to their world.
I never thought that there was such a world in this inconspicuous place.
