Medical Brocade

Chapter 144 Jiangzhou
He Xianzhi had a carriage by himself, and Qu Fengquan didn't prepare anything else for her, so she and He Xianzhi rode in the same carriage, and there was a guide on the way.

This time, the scale of transportation was relatively large, Qu Fengquan sent many people, some of them were servants of the mansion, and some were the staff of the pharmacy.

Huizhou is about ten days away from the capital, and the medicinal materials need to be escorted, which will take a few more days. Moreover, in this season, the weather in the south is very cloudy and rainy, so it is easy to delay the time. He Xianzhi did not want to delay it again and again The time of delivery of medicinal materials.

The Junjiang River is the dividing line between the south and the north. A few days before Qu Ruowen accompanied He Xianzhi on the road, they were still in the northern area. Qu Fengquan and Qu Huanxiang were in the northern semicolon, so she didn't have to worry about anything. Just finish what Qu Fengquan entrusted to her.

The situation in the north is very stable all the way, and there has been no robbery. This trip is also relatively smooth. Maybe it has something to do with the flag with the word Qu written on it on the carriage. There can be such a big show, and the surname is Qu. , except for the Huangshang Qu family, there is nothing else, but the bandits will not attack anyone who is related to the official family, unless the situation is really desperate, but even if they really want to do it, the first choice will not be the Qu family Well, medicinal materials cannot be used as food, nor can they be sold, but they are a burden.

Across the Junjiang River is the south. There are many rivers in the south, forming a water network, but the water flow is relatively stable, without strong winds and waves. When you reach the south, you have to switch to water. He Xianzhi has already arranged boats to carry a large number of medicinal materials up.

Taking advantage of this time, He Xianzhi asked her to go down to the nearby market for a walk, and after half an hour, she boarded a boat to Huizhou.

After driving in the carriage for seven or eight days, my back was really sore from sitting. He Xianzhi took Qu Fengquan's words and took good care of her. He arranged everything for her, and did not treat her badly.

When He Xianzhi directed a few people to unload the medicinal materials and put them on the ship, Qu Ruowen took the medicine box out. She could lose the burden, but she couldn't lose the medicine box. There are so many people here, if she takes the wrong things, It is not difficult.

According to He Xianzhi, this is Jiangzhou. Qu Ruowen knew a little about Jiangzhou, but she just heard a lot about it.Jiangzhou is a wharf, a place where business exchanges between the north and the south must pass, and it is also a place where waterways and landways change. Therefore, this place gathers many people from all over the world. Compared with other places, it is a bit more lively. Can be ranked.

After writing down the appointed time and place, Qu Ruowen decided to take a stroll in the town to get a taste of the customs and customs of Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is close to the sea. There are many aquatic products on the stalls in the market. They are all fresh. The fish caught are large and alive. There are many people who buy fish. The market is accompanied by fishy smell and blood. There is a lot of fish scales and blood stains on the ground, dark ones, bright ones, all of them, I think they set up a stall here to sell fish, it has been a lot of years, maybe it is still passed down from generation to generation.

Qu Ruowen was carrying a medicine box on his back, walking on the street with people coming and going, so he was easily overlooked.However, quite a few of them would also look at her a few times. Ordinary quacks would carry a sign and a rattle, and then shout and mutter something.Where is it like Qu Ruowen, so quiet, and she is still young, what can she understand.Coupled with Qu Ruowen's ordinary clothes, she thought she must be a liar, but at such a young age, she must have a poor background.In the eyes of everyone, there are complex guessing emotions, but they just regard her as a passerby.

She originally wanted to go shopping in the market, and then buy something she likes when she sees it, even if she doesn't like it, it doesn't matter, but she didn't expect to walk around, and when she looked up, she found that Jiangzhou also had a branch of Qu's.

There are a total of 32 branches in the south. She must not have time to inspect one by one in the past month. At present, she has not yet figured out how to handle things efficiently. Now that she has encountered them, she plans to go up and have a look. Pharmacy, she really didn't know anything.

Compared with the one in the capital, this branch of Qu's medicine store is naturally not comparable. The medicine store in Jiangzhou has only one door, and there are no doctors sitting in the hall. Sell ​​to those in need.

Except for the pharmacy in the capital and the pharmacy in Huizhou, there are more than [-] branches in the north and south, and basically no doctor sits in the hall to see a doctor. Otherwise, the Qu family will be hanging pots to help the world for generations, not a drug dealer seeking economic benefits.

Qu Ruowen walked in, but she didn't know how the prices of Qu's medicinal materials were here. The business inside was so-so. When she came, there were only two people who were buying medicine, and listening to the conversations of a few people, they were only treating Xiaomao. sick medicine.Jiangzhou is near the sea, and Jiangzhou people will definitely have dry skin. If they are exposed to the hot sun for a long time, they will get skin diseases.Although the temperature difference between day and night is not big at the seaside, the humidity is high. In addition, people here get up early every day, and the humidity is higher in the morning, which makes them prone to rheumatism and arthritis.Therefore, most of the medicinal materials purchased at the pharmacy are medicinal materials such as Aconitum Aconitum, Coix Seed, and Aconite, and medicinal materials for treating dampness and heat such as calendula silver plates, but they tend to hoard.

"My lady, what medicinal ingredients do you need?" The apprentice in the pharmacy asked Qu Ruo who was standing in front of the counter, and the two people who bought the medicine in front had already taken the medicine and left.

"Can there be calendula and silver plates and other medicinal materials for treating dampness and heat here?" Qu Ruo asked, thinking that the Qu family might be short of these medicinal materials at present, and planned to collect them from various places so that they could be directly transported back to relieve the urgent need in the capital.

"Yes, yes." The apprentices in the pharmacy are very attentive. Since selling medicine here, few people will buy these medicinal materials, but there will be some medicinal materials in the pharmacy for emergencies, and now they are hoarded in There, it is naturally best to sell it.

These Chinese herbal medicines are all collected and dried in the sun. If they are accumulated for a long time, the efficacy of the medicine will decrease, and it will be slower to show up at that time. Moreover, if it exceeds the age limit, it is equivalent to losing its medicinal properties. As for whether it will deteriorate, it is hard to say.

"How much stock is there in the pharmacy? I want to buy in bulk. Can you give me the specific amount?" Thinking of the shortage of pharmacies in the capital, Qu Ruowen had an idea.

The apprentice was dumbfounded when he heard this, but all the people who came here to buy medicines were the people nearby. There are so many branches of Qujia drugstores, there is no one who buys medicines in bulk, unless it is for big business.Of course he couldn't make the decision, so he hurriedly reported to the shopkeeper, even forgetting to entertain. As for the other apprentice behind the counter, looking at her, judging from her clothes, she was not a girl from a wealthy family, so There was no reaction at all, even asking her to sit down and pour a glass of water was spared.
