After making up his mind, Jiang Yanqing went out after lunch, found a familiar carpenter's shop, gave him the dimensions, and asked him to come and make the medicine cabinet the next day.
Then they went to Tonghetang. As soon as Jiang Yanqing stepped into the door, Boss Zhou's surprised voice rang out, "Hey, Comrade Xiao Jiang is here."
Jiang Yanqing looked over following the voice and saw Boss Zhou standing behind the counter with a smile on his face. He was weighing herbs on a small scale and there were two wrapped brown paper bags in front of him.
Jiang Yanqing also smiled and said, "Boss Zhou weighed the medicine himself. I'm bothering you again."
As soon as these words came out, it meant that there was something he needed help from Boss Zhou. Boss Zhou was also a smart person and instantly understood what Jiang Yanqing meant. He replied straightforwardly, "It's good that Comrade Jiang can come. Just ask if you have anything to say."
Jiang Yanqing walked to the counter and said, "Boss Zhou, I want to buy some pharmaceutical tools. I'd like to ask you to introduce me to a good source."
Boss Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Comrade Xiao Jiang is also planning to open a herbal medicine shop?"
Jiang Yanqing shook her head. "How could I possibly have that ability? To be honest, Boss Zhou, my cousin is a Chinese medicine doctor. He likes to tinker with herbs at home. I thought all these things could be used, so I decided to buy a set."
Boss Zhou's eyebrows lit up again, and he praised, "Xiao Jiang, you are quite talented. Let me think about these pharmaceutical tools. All of them were bought before the New Year. The old set is left in the backyard. If you don't mind, Xiao Jiang, you can use them."
Jiang Yanqing was delighted. If the things were not good, Boss Zhou would definitely not ask for help. Since he asked for help, it meant that the things were still good and could at least be used normally.
Moreover, the tools in the pharmacy are definitely the most complete, so you don’t have to run around to buy them one by one, which saves you a lot of trouble.
This is a huge favor. Boss Zhou is willing to give me this face, which shows that he really thinks highly of me.
He smiled and replied, "I don't mind, I don't mind. I have to thank Boss Zhou for saving me a lot of effort."
While we were talking, Boss Zhou finished weighing the herbs in his hand, packed everything and put it aside, then walked out from behind the counter and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see it."
When he arrived at the backyard, Boss Zhou pushed open the door of a room. Things inside were placed in a mess and covered with a lot of dust.
Boss Zhou looked back a little embarrassed and said, "Hey, Xiao Jiang, this room is a bit messy. How about this, I'll have someone clean it up and send it to you."
Jiang Yanqing glanced around the room. The room was piled with medicine knives. The tools used to match the medicine knives included bamboo handles for cutting medicine, vise-head pliers for single cutting, crab claws, knife blocks for blocking medicine, medicine buckets for receiving medicine, oil brooms for wiping knives, and water brooms, all of which were placed in a box on the side.
Boss Zhou pointed to the wooden boxes stacked nearby and explained, "There are also knives, files, and hammers here. Anyway, they're all here."
Jiang Yanqing also saw the grinding trough, the punching cylinder, and the mortar for grinding powder. It was more complete than Jiang Yanqing had imagined, and she was even more surprised.
After returning to the front with Boss Zhou, Jiang Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "Boss Zhou, I'm very satisfied with this set of pharmaceutical tools. Please give me a price and I'll give you the money first."
Boss Zhou glared at him and said unhappily, "Xiao Jiang, what are you talking about? I told you it's an old one that's been discarded. How can I charge you for it?"
Jiang Yanqing replied disapprovingly, "Boss Zhou, let's be frank. Even if your things are old, they are all good. How can I take your things for free? If you don't want to pay, then I'll just pretend I haven't been here today."
Boss Zhou frowned and said in confusion, "Xiao Jiang, I really don't understand your thoughts, kid. Isn't it better not to ask for money?"
Jiang Yanqing didn't respond, but just stared at Boss Zhou, which gave him goose bumps. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, give me two hundred yuan. No bargaining, otherwise I won't give you the item."
Jiang Yanqing chuckled, took out two hundred yuan and handed it over, accepting Boss Zhou's kindness. These things were sold for two thousand and there were people who wanted them. She didn't know why Boss Zhou was so nice to her.
"Okay, thank you, Boss Zhou. Please send someone to deliver it. I'll be home all afternoon."
Boss Zhou took the money and casually placed it on the counter. He then took out a small blue cloth bag from the counter and handed it to Jiang Yanqing. "I almost forgot, I got a bag of medicinal herb seeds. I don't know what's inside. You can take it back and plant it for fun."
Jiang Yanqing took it and looked at it. Well, he couldn't tell what kind of seed it was, but as long as there was space, he should be able to grow anything.
"Boss Zhou, I won't be polite with you. I'll take these seeds. When they grow, I'll bring some over to you."
Boss Zhou actually had no hope that he could grow medicinal seeds that he couldn't even identify, but Jiang Yanqing's words were nice and made people happy.
After agreeing with a smile and the matter was settled, Jiang Yanqing prepared to go home. The Wang family was going to send a porcelain jar this afternoon.
