Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 10 Sheng Changbai

After a while, Li An came back with three cakes and gave one to each of Shi Lin and Shi Zhu.

The three of them stood on the roadside and ate the cooking cakes before continuing to look for the medicine shop.

Not long after, the three of them came to a medical center called 'Ji Ren Tang'.

This medical clinic looks much bigger than the previous drug stores and medical clinics, and many people are queuing up for treatment.

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, a boy came up to them and said with a smile: "If you want to see a doctor, you three have to queue up first. If you want to grab medicine, you can just go to the counter."

"Brother, we are here to sell medicinal materials. I wonder if you will accept them here?" Shi Lin asked.

"Sorry, the medicinal materials in our medical center are supplied by specially cooperated drug dealers. We do not accept medicinal materials. You three should go to other places to ask." The waiter said.

"Aren't you also collecting the medicinal materials from last year?" Shi Lin asked.

They have encountered this situation before. Most medical clinics and pharmacies have herbal collectors and drug dealers who specialize in supplying medicinal materials, and generally do not accept scattered medicinal materials.

Firstly, it is of little use if it is missing. Secondly, many medicinal materials have certain requirements for picking. If you don’t understand some, the efficacy of the medicine will be destroyed when picking.

But as long as he says they are old medicinal materials, most people will ask to see them.

The boy shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but my boss has told me that except for the cooperative farmers and drug dealers, all other medicinal materials will not be accepted."

"Are you not going to accept the nine-year-old Huang Jing?" Li An couldn't help but ask.

"What? Nine years of Huang Jing?"

"Have you had Huang Jing for nine years?"

As soon as Li An finished speaking, two voices, one old and one young, rang out.

One was a doctor who was treating someone, and the other came from behind him.

As soon as Li An turned around, he saw several people walking in behind him.

The leader was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, wearing a light blue brocade robe, with a somewhat dull expression.

Next to his boy was a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old, wearing a light pink dress and an aqua blue cloak behind her.

Behind them were two men and two women, who looked like they were wearing maidservants.

When the young man saw Li An looking over, he forced a smile on his face and said politely: "This little brother, I just heard you say that you have a ninth-year-old Huangjing. Can you let me have a look?"

Just when Li An was about to speak, the doctor who was attending the consultation left the patient and came over. He glared at the young man fiercely, and then said with a smile: "Master, these three people are here to sell medicinal materials in my shop. Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Master, If you want to see it, you have to wait until this guy and I finish talking first, right?"

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

The young man was not unhappy when he heard this. He cupped his hands and took two steps back.

However, the girl next to him was not happy and glared at him and said, "We just heard the waiter in the store say we won't accept it, and now you are telling us that it's first come, first served. It makes no sense!"

"Fifth sister!"

The young man stopped his sister and said to the doctor, "My roommate is rude, but I still want to see Haihan."

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that the young man was well-behaved and well-dressed, and that it was not easy to argue with a little girl, the doctor waved his hand, looked at Li An and the others, and said, "You three, come with me and sit inside, how about letting me take a look at the medicinal materials first? "

"Okay." Shi Lin nodded.

The doctor apologized to the patients in line, saying that each person was charged three cents less for medicine, and then led the three of them into the inner room.

"Brother, this doctor must be thinking that we want to buy it, and wants to take it and sell it to us at a higher price. They originally said they wouldn't take it, why didn't you let me say it?" the little girl said unhappily.

The young man said with a straight face: "Whether they accept it or not, we have no right to interfere if they are still in their store."

"Then what should we do now? We have gone to several medical clinics, but we can't find one with enough years. How about we go back first? Mother said there are many in Youyang's hometown. She wants dad to go back to study, but the eldest brother wants to do it himself. Come and find me." The little girl complained. The young man frowned and said: "If we can find it in Yangzhou, why bother uncle with this matter? Besides, this is our filial piety as juniors. If you feel tired, just go back."

The little girl saw that her brother was a little angry and didn't dare to say anything more.

The young man ignored her, stepped forward and cupped his hands at the waiter: "I wonder if your store has Huang Jing that is more than six years old?"

"Young master, you have broken me."

The waiter quickly returned the gift and said, "There are some in Huang Jing's shop, but those over six years old are not available."

The boy felt very wronged. He had said that he would not accept the medicinal materials before because the shopkeeper had told him to. If he knew that Li An and the others had nine-year-old Polygonatum japonica, how could he chase them away?

Polygonatum is known as the immortal food, the essence of medicine, and has the effects of nourishing qi and yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and nourishing the kidneys.

Not only can it be used as medicinal materials, but it can also be used alone. You can add some to porridge and soup.

He has been working in a medical clinic for several years, how could he not know the preciousness of Huang Jing.

However, as soon as Li An opened his mouth, he didn't even have time to speak. The young man and the doctor who came in behind spoke.

The young man was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he had no intention of leaving. He was going to see if Li An really had the ninth-year Huang Jing.

Even if it was bought by a medical clinic, he could just spend more money to buy it.

The young man waited for about a cup of tea before the doctor and Li An came out.

Seeing the joy on the faces of the doctor and Li An, I knew that a deal had been reached.

"Doctor, I wonder if you can sell that Polygonatum japonica to me?" the young man said with cupped hands.

He did not ask whether Huang Jing was nine years old. Looking at the smile on the doctor's face, he knew that Huang Jing was almost the same even if it was less than nine years old.

The doctor smiled slightly and said: "This young man only wants Polygonatum, and he didn't ask for other medicinal materials. He probably bought it to replenish his health. But the Polygonatum they sell is freshly dug out and has not been processed, so it is inconvenient to store. The Young Master wants If you want to buy it, it won’t be too late to discuss it after I’ve prepared it.”

The seller hasn't left yet, so it's not a good time to negotiate the price.

Moreover, the ninth-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum was already very rare. When word got out later, he wanted to buy more, so as to maximize his profits.

After the doctor finished speaking, he said to Shi Lin: "Let's go, I will take you to weigh the silver."

You read that right, silver is not weighed like in some movies and TV shows, where you take out an ingot and say how many taels it is.

Moreover, the quality of silver also depends on its quality. Different colors have different values.

"Brother, why don't you talk nonsense to him? Why don't you just reveal your identity?" the little girl said.

The young man said displeasedly: "This is to use force to suppress others, and it will not be good for dad's reputation if word spreads. Don't say such nonsense in the future."

The young man is not a pedantic person. If the other party is unwilling to sell it at a normal price, he does not mind revealing his identity a little.

However, now that they are just talking, directly revealing their identity seems a bit overwhelming.

The doctor took the three people to the accounting room and had thirty-two taels of silver weighed.

Shi Lin checked it and saw that the silver was of good quality, so he put the silver in a cloth bag.

"Haha, if you collect any medicinal materials in the future, you can come to me. I dare not say anything else. I will definitely give you a higher price than others." The doctor smiled.

"Sure, I'll definitely send some medicinal materials in the future. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first," Shi Lin said.

"I'll see you off." The doctor smiled and sent the three people out of Shi Lin.

As soon as the three of them came out of the medical clinic, they saw the young man waiting outside the door.

When the young man saw the three people coming out, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I'm Sheng Changbai, strong man, can you take a step to speak?"
