Chapter 19 Selling Herbs

After walking for several hours, even Bai Xuening couldn't bear it, let alone the two little dolls. Fortunately, the two little dolls were sensible and didn't complain to her or cry out that they were tired!

At noon, it was the busiest time in the market, with people coming and going, and there were also a lot of yelling and hawking!
Bai Xuening walked around the bustling market, but she didn't find anyone buying medicinal materials, so she could only carry a basket and two small buns on her back to search from one drugstore after another.

The first pharmacy didn't even let them in, so they kicked them out. The reason was "they are dressed in rags, what kind of medicinal materials do they know?"

The second pharmacy was much more polite, but the phrase "we have no shortage of medicinal materials" disappointed the mother and son and left.

After walking for a while, they came to a Tongrentang pharmacy. This pharmacy was larger than the previous two pharmacies, and it had more workers. And as soon as they entered, a young clerk came up and asked, "Do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine?" ?”

Bai Xuening didn't answer the boy's question, but instead asked, "Do you buy medicinal materials here?"

"We collect the medicinal materials, but do you know the medicinal materials, little lady?" The boy's eyes swept over Bai Xuening's mother and son, with a look of suspicion.

"I know, I know!" Bai Xuening made a fuss in order to ensure the reliability of her words, "My grandfather is a doctor!"

"This way, little lady, please!"

The boy brought them to the backyard of the pharmacy, and there was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who should be the manager of the pharmacy or a doctor.

When they came, the man was prescribing a prescription, and the young man said humbly, "Doctor Liu, they are here to sell medicinal materials!"

The middle-aged man asked without raising his head, "What medicinal materials are they?"

"Yes...it's some herbs for clearing away heat and detoxifying!" Bai Xuening replied cautiously.

The middle-aged man who was still writing the prescription raised his head instantly, looked at Bai Xuening for a while, and then asked, "Do you understand medical theory?"

She replied nervously, "Understood, my grandfather is a doctor!"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Show me the herbs!"

Bai Xuening hurriedly picked the best honeysuckle flower and handed it to him, "Doctor Liu, these honeysuckle are freshly picked, and their medicinal properties are better than dried ones!"

Dr. Liu picked up the honeysuckle, looked at it, smelled it again, and said approvingly, "Not bad!"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xuening took another Huang Cen from the basket and handed it to her, "There is still a small amount of Huang Cen!"

Dr. Liu saw that the young woman not only called out the names of the herbs accurately, but also had a clear understanding of their medicinal properties, so he admired the little lady in front of him even more, and said to the boy who led them in, "Well, take them all, and they all cost thirty cents a piece." two!"

The little guy whispered to Bai Xuening, "You don't have to hurry up and thank Dr. Liu. These medicinal materials are usually charged at 25 yuan a tael. Today is a high price for you!"

"Thank you!" Bai Xuening bowed to Dr. Liu, and the two little buns also sweetly called out "Thank you, Uncle!" and bowed to him three times, looking quite cute!
This uncle amused Dr. Liu. You must know that he looks much bigger than Bai Xuening. You should call him uncle. Calling uncle shows his youth. With a big wave of his hand, Dr. Liu said to the boy, "the dim sum on my table." , share it with them!"

Just like that, the two little buns got half a package of dim sum because of the uncle. Bai Xuening scanned the packaging box with the corner of her eyes. It looked very delicate, and Bai Xuening guessed that it must be worth a lot of money!
