Chapter 178

The next day, Zhuifeng came to the concentration of pharmacies only two streets away from the big curved bend of the market.

This is a rare gathering place for large-scale medicine shops. On the two cross streets, there are dozens of big and small medicine shops. Some sell medicine, wine, sachets and other things, in short, it is inseparable from the word medicine.

At the crossroads where the two streets cross, there are two largest pharmacies, one surnamed Si and the other surnamed He, one is marked as a century-old store, and the other is marked as the first pharmacy, both are three-story attics, and they are crowded with people. It doesn't look like high or low.

Zhuifeng looked left and right, chose a direction at random, and observed the pharmacies on both sides of the street while walking.Seeing Danshen written on a door plaque, he walked in and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell Danshen here?"

The store quickly greeted them warmly, pointing to the four small bags of samples on the counter, "How much do you want to buy? Ninety copper coins for the top-grade salvia miltiorrhiza, one or two for the first-class, eighty copper coins for the first-class, seventy copper coins for the second-class, and sixty copper coins for the third-class."

Zhufeng looked at the samples of medicines marked with the third class, frowned and said, "You are considered the most useless roots and waste leaves, can you still sell them? And sell them for sixty copper coins a tael?"

The shopkeeper looked at his samples in surprise. These were all dried and chopped. Even if the quality was not as good as the first three, it would not be obvious at a glance that they were waste leaves.

He thought to himself that this person probably knew some tricks, so he explained with a smile, "This third class is indeed not as good as the previous ones, but it's medicine.

And the price of the small store is absolutely fair, if you don't believe the customers, you can go out and compare, almost all of them are at this price. "

"Although Danshen is good, it's not so expensive." Zhufeng shook his head, "It's really too expensive."

The shopkeeper explained, "The customers don't know, but I bought this Danshen from Puzhou. Puzhou is a well-known medicine state all over the world, so it is naturally more expensive."

"Why buy it from Puzhou? What about the local salvia? I buy local." Zhui Feng said again.

The shopkeeper smiled again, "There are not many local salvia miltiorrhiza, and the quality varies, so we all buy from Puzhou."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuifeng asked again: "Then how to sell the local salvia miltiorrhiza?"

"There is no local salvia in the shop."

"Then what price do you charge for the local salvia miltiorrhiza crude drug?"

The shopkeeper lost his patience when asked, and his enthusiasm faded, "It depends on the quality of Danshen, I can't say for sure."

Shaking his head by the wind, he walked out of the store and randomly entered a few medicine shops. The prices were all about the same, and most of them said that there was no local salvia miltiorrhiza, and they were bought from Puzhou. A few had local salvia miltiorrhiza, but the quality was very poor. They are all about fifty copper coins per tael.

Such a result made Zhufeng a little unexpected. He didn't believe in evil, and left the gathering place of medicine shops, and walked a certain distance to the outer circle, looking for those scattered medicine shops.

But in this way, the time was delayed a lot. After he had inquired about it, it was already afternoon and he even missed lunch, so he casually ate a late lunch at a roadside stall, and then returned to Taoyaju.

Hongtao ran out of the room with Qian Lao Er, Qingyu and Shi'an were the only ones at home.

After returning to the house, Zhuifeng washed his face and changed his clothes, and then came out, and told Qingyu and Shi'an about the results he had inquired about.

"A lot of medicinal materials are bought from Puzhou, and the price is generally more expensive. As for local medicinal materials, some say the quality is not good, and some say it is not enough. In short, local medicinal materials are not the main source of sales for pharmacies.

Moreover, the drug dealers deliberately made the local medicinal materials worthless, but in fact, the local medicinal materials were also sold at high prices as foreign medicinal materials. "

Shi'an was puzzled, "Is the local medicinal material so unbearable?"

Zhufeng shook his head and said: "I don't think so, it should be that there are not enough local medicinal materials, after all, there are not even large-scale medicinal fields, and wild picking and small planting alone must be in short supply.

I can probably guess why local medicinal materials have been unanimously suppressed so much.Because the local medicinal materials are not enough, drug dealers have to go to other places to buy them. Puzhou is rich in medicinal materials, but it is not close to Yinzhou, so the cost of transportation and transportation is high.

So they lowered the price of local medicinal materials, and used more money to buy medicinal materials from other places to reduce their total cost. At the same time, they sold them at high prices under the name of Puzhou medicinal materials. "

Shi'an was taken aback, "Then this medicine business is a huge profit for medicine merchants."

"Yes. In addition, there is another point. It seems that the two medicine shops behind Daquwan only occupy one of them, but I think there are many small medicine shops there. They belong to the two. Because the medicinal materials The quality, form and price are all about the same, no such coincidence.

The price and quality of medicinal materials of those small pharmacies are lower than those of the two largest ones.Heh, ordinary people think they have many choices, but in fact they go around, and they don't go out of the Sihe family. "

Shi'an thought for a while, "The supply of medicinal materials in the [-] mu of land is obviously in short supply. The drug dealers, mainly Sihe, will definitely lower their prices aggressively, and most of them will go to other places to buy."

Zhufeng leaned on the back of the chair with his head up, meditating and muttering, "Medical materials. Medicine merchants"

"Brother, don't worry." Qing Yu said slowly.

Zhufeng sat up straight and looked at Qingyu, "Junior Sister has an idea?"

Qing Yu smiled slightly, "Since you can't rely on the normal selling price of the drug dealer, then you should not sell it to the drug dealer."

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of Fang Ya's assessment.Early in the morning, according to the time, Heart came to the back hall of Hucao Yamen with great interest.

At that time, there were already some people standing on the open space. They didn't look very old, but they were all older than Heart.

After noticing the arrival of a little girl, these people began to discuss. They had heard that a little girl signed up for this month, and they didn't believe it at first, but they didn't expect it to be true.

Someone sneered, "I'm not mistaken, do you look, is that a girl?"

"I think she wore the wrong clothes when she went out in the morning. There is no girl who can be a housekeeper. She's still so young."

"I guess I went to the wrong place." He shouted to Heart again, "Little girl, the clothes washing place is in the backyard, you went to the wrong place."

A group of people laughed loudly, obviously deliberately teasing.

Heart narrowed her eyes and looked sideways at the group of people, pointing to the sign on her waist, "I think you are not only brainless, but also have bad eyesight, I can't see it with such an obvious sign, your eyes are long like the soles of your feet Is it?"

"You smelly girl, you have a sharp mouth. You treat this as your back garden."

"Do you think this is your toilet? You still fart here." Hongtao pinched her nose and stood back, "Don't talk, I smell suffocating, you have a bad stomach, I suggest you go back It's delicious and a few medicines."

The person who spoke turned red like a pig's liver, pointed at the heart and scolded angrily: "You damn girl!"

"You still don't shut up, didn't you see that the people around you are about to be suffocated to death? Murder pays for life. Smelly people count."

The face of the person who spoke "I" was extremely ugly, subconsciously looking to the left and right, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something, these people seem to be holding their breath.

A great sense of humiliation made him feel ashamed, he could only shut his mouth in shame and resentment, staring at Hearts resentfully.

Heart continued to say, "Take medicine when you are sick, don't listen to the old man"

 emm has something to delay these two days, I will try to get back to normal by tomorrow~
