wife's choice

Chapter 523 Exposed?
"Sir, the medicinal materials you ordered are probably not the same?!" The smile on the corner of the old store manager's mouth was somewhat meaningful.

I was shocked in my heart, I still pretended to be nonchalant, and flattered me: "No, I have all the medicinal materials I want, and they are all here. Thank you for your guidance, old man. If I meet the old man sooner, I won't be scammed anymore."

"Haha, young man, I don't think so. Who can lie to you? Also, young man, you refuse to tell the truth."

"Misunderstood, I really only want these medicinal materials."

"Oh"

The old store manager paused for a moment, his eyes gleamed, and he stared closely at mine.

Just when I was seen through, the old store manager spoke up.

"Your medicinal material. I'm afraid it's even worse than imperial green!"

No emotion could be heard in his tone.

Hearing the sound, I was shocked in my heart, and I tried my best to pretend that there was nothing on my face, and looked at the old store manager indifferently.

I frantically guessed in my heart, why would he know that among the herbs I bought, there is only one taste of imperial green?

Still so sure!
Is it
Does he know the prescription of Black Jade Ointment?
Thinking of this, I looked at the old store manager with a little more vigilance, and with my hands behind my back, I quietly signaled the four bodyguards.

Tell them, this store manager is dangerous!
However, thinking about it carefully, it seems unlikely.

Is it so easy to get the prescription of Black Jade Ointment?

Isn't that a bad street product?

As for Tan Fei asking me for a price, is there a cap?

It seems that when I asked for a prescription, Su Qing gave it to me.

The old store manager saw through my thoughts and said with a smile: "Are you thinking, why would I know?"

"The old man was joking. The medicinal materials I want are enough. It's not like what you said, what is missing is the imperial green. I don't know what can be made by adding the imperial green. I am only responsible for finding medicinal materials for my friend. Don't care about the others." I was still perfunctory him.

"Oh?"

The old store manager raised his eyebrows, stroked his beard and asked, "Is your friend named Su?"

My hand holding the medicinal materials trembled slightly, and I smiled at him, not taking up the conversation.

The more you talk, the more thoroughly you will be seen. It is not a good thing to be seen through!
The four bodyguards behind them gradually became serious.

The old store manager glanced at them and smiled: "Hahaha, young man, don't be nervous, I'm just wondering why the old guy didn't come over in person, but let a young man come over instead, and didn't call me in advance Hello, let me prepare the medicinal materials!"

"What?" I froze for a moment, what does this mean?
"Okay, stop pretending, how is old man Su? Is he better? When will her granddaughter get married? I'm still waiting for the wedding wine."

这 是
You know Su Qing, and you know Su Qing's grandfather?
Moreover, have a good relationship with the Su family?

That must be it, I breathed a sigh of relief, but then was haunted by another question.

According to what he said, Su Qing's grandfather has always come to get the medicinal materials for this Black Jade Intermittent Ointment in person. I appear here so suddenly, I believe he will definitely call Su Qing's grandfather to ask for confirmation.

At that time, Su Qing leaked the prescription to me, wouldn't that be exposed?

This is really a headache!
I was perfunctory about the old store manager's questions, but luckily he didn't go any further, and he didn't call Su Qing's grandfather in front of me.

"How did the old man know that I came here to buy medicinal materials for Grandpa Su?" I asked back.

"Do you still need to look at it? For decades, he has asked me to get these medicinal materials every year, and you don't know about one of them, right? Only the Baijia Pharmacy in the country has it, and it is also a specialty of the Northeast. It is only available in spring every year." , the ones from other places are either fake, or they were resold from me. You can take these medicinal materials back with peace of mind, come over later, and say hello in advance."

"Okay, thank you sir."

"Don't always call the old man so alien. Since old man Su asked you to come here, you can call me Bai Lao. Oh, by the way, hasn't he made the medicine yet?"

I shook my head at Old Bai.

Bai Lao sighed, and only then did I know that Bai Lao and Su Qing's grandfather were family friends. He spent a lifetime refining black jade paste and thought of countless methods. Not to mention refining one gram, even one success No.

It is enough to imagine how rich the Su family is to be able to withstand such a build.

However, this is also the regret of Grandpa Su Qing's life. He kept such a precious prescription, but he couldn't make it out no matter what.

It's like I found a blood jade mine, but I can't mine it out.

Leaving aside the fact that it can help the world and save people, if it is possible to refine the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, it is estimated that the Su family has long been the richest man in Jinlan.

I believe that Bai Lao's vision and personality will not lie to me, and let Bai Lao settle the bill while freeing up the medicinal materials.

Old Bai looked at me in surprise, and said, "Old man Su didn't tell you, did they keep accounts?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, he didn't tell me." I panicked and thought I had been exposed.

"The old man's memory is getting worse as he gets older. After a while, I'll go to Li Jinlan to see him, so I won't even be able to remember." Old Bai sighed.

I nodded and kept thanking Mr. Bai.

I also don't want to take advantage of the Su family, I have prepared the money before I come, but if I insist on giving the money, it will definitely be exposed.

When putting on the last medicine, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

There are two wild ginseng in my left hand and right hand that look exactly the same. The feeling in my left hand is very gentle and continuous, which makes me very comfortable and I want to hold it tightly all the time.

The feeling in the right hand is also gentle, but it doesn't have that soft and long feeling, as if it will break at any time.

There is definitely something wrong with the ginseng on the right hand!
I hesitated, whether I should put it away and take it away. If I continue to stay here, the risk of exposure will increase accordingly. Bai Lao noticed my strangeness. Bai Lao looked at my hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Old Bai, this."

Before I finished speaking, Bai Lao frowned and took the two ginseng in my hand.

He observed it carefully, then moved to his nose and sniffed it carefully, finally bit off a little bit of root hair, chewed it carefully, and closed his eyes.

After a while, Bai Lao put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

"Liu Fu!"

Loudly!

In the busy pharmacy, everyone looked at Bai Lao in unison.

A middle-aged man in a suit rushed up to Elder Bai, and said flatteringly, "Master Bai, are you looking for me?"

Only then did Bai Lao open his eyes, and glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

He handed the two ginseng in his hand to him.

"This is?" Liu Fu asked suspiciously.

"This is the medicinal material for the Su family. This young man picked it out. See what's different?" Bai Lao said lightly.

"what happened?"

After Liu Fu took it, he glanced at me.
