Chapter 3

Chu Jiu first followed the route in her memory, and first went to the west of the town. According to the remnants that flashed through her body and what Eleven said, she vaguely remembered that the shop in the west of Zhen was selling animal fur. Old Ba, I don't know if it's because his real surname is Mao, or because he's in the fur business.

In my memory, every time Chujiu followed Cang Yuhe to Orion's hair-shrinking medicine in the past, he would go with Mao Laoba. Fortunately, there was a caretaker on the way, and now she went by herself, and she wanted to go with this person That's good, although there are no bandits in my impression, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Before arriving at the place, she slowly reined in the carriage and horses, so as not to be unable to rein in the horses, but she was obviously overwhelmed, the old horse of the Cang family knew the way, and when she saw the shop, she spontaneously leaned against the door Stop, this skillful movement made Chu Jiu couldn't help but think, if the old horse in this family could count the silver with his hoof, maybe he could collect hair medicine by himself.

That Mao Laoba was turning the abacus in the shop, and when he heard the sound of horseshoes and snorting, he poked his head and saw that it was a chariot from an acquaintance, so he had already spoken to the clerk in the shop without Chu Jiu speaking. Then he hurried to the backyard to set up a carriage.

Chu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and slightly loosened the rein that had been tightly held in his hand, and the part of the rein that was held was already soaked in cold sweat from the palm of his hand.

She calmly changed the place to hold it, and then saw that the clerk in Mao Laoba's shop had already driven the carriage out.

Arriving at Chujiu's carriage, the man stopped the horse, Mao Laoba got into the carriage, and knocked the dry smoke in his hand on the black pit on the shaft of the chariot. After taking a puff, he looked at Chujiu and asked : "You're the only one today?"

Chujiu knew that Mao Laoba was asking about Cang Yuheren, so she remembered what Wanniang said, and replied, "I went to the shop."

Mao Laoba nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He was obviously a man of few words, and the ninth day happened to be the same. The two dull gourds got together and didn't even make a sound along the way.

Chujiu was not familiar with the road, so she took a half step slowly, watching the old man drive the car, and she followed it. Although the old horse knew the way, her palms were still sweating, for fear that the horse would suddenly Run wildly.

After driving for a long time, the road became more and more difficult. Mao Laoba drove the carriage under the big trees on both sides of the road, and Chu Jiu also drove the carriage aside to take a rest.

Arriving at the place at noon, Chu Jiu was a little surprised, because this is a village composed of many hunters. When he arrived at the place, Mao Laoba took a look at Chu Jiu, and that look clearly meant to let Chu Jiu follow up.

Chu Jiu hurriedly followed, she wanted hair medicine, and Mao Lao Ba wanted animal fur, so there was no conflict between the two of them on this trip.

After visiting many Orion houses and touching the herbs, Chu Jiu’s eyes were straightened. Because of family reasons, she had been studying Western medicine all the time, but she had a strong interest in Chinese medicine, so she also had Did some research.

These medicinal materials are not of the same grade as the ones she has seen before. Most of the previous ones are artificially cultivated, but these are all natural. Not to mention, I am afraid that the efficacy of this medicine is not comparable to the previous ones. worthy.

In the past, the academic circles have been arguing endlessly about Chinese and Western medicines. Western medicine advocates quick results, while Chinese medicine claims to cure the root cause. However, the slow decline of Chinese medicine can be seen by everyone.

It is said that traditional Chinese medicine is ineffective, in fact, part of the reason is that no one has passed on traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, and the medicinal materials are also affected by the environment, and the eagerness to pick them grows, and the efficacy of the medicinal materials is not as good as before.

If you take so many natural Chinese herbal medicines that you see today, their medicinal effects must make those western doctors stare wide-eyed.

But after thinking about it, there are other problems in front of him.

Because Chu Jiu didn't know what the price of these herbal medicines was, and it could even be said that she didn't know how much medicine and what kind of medicine could be bought here with one tael of silver.

When she learned that she was coming to collect hair medicine, she made indirect remarks, and knew that although the place she was in was called Southern Tang, it was not the Southern Tang she was familiar with, and the capital was not Jinling, but a place called Qiongdu. People generally call it Dadu.

In this way, she has no way of knowing the value of the taels of silver. She can only guess that the one tael of silver here is also converted into a thousand copper coins, which is Yiguan.

After thinking about it again and again, Chu Jiu tentatively asked these hunters how much silver they wanted to sell. After the hunters said the price, she pressed the price desperately until the hunters couldn't take it anymore, and then she started to order the medicinal materials, and she would take them later.

After going through several stores, Chu Jiu got the approximate prices of these medicines, and it was naturally much easier to buy them.

But after buying some, she felt a little strange, because some of these medicinal materials are commonly used, and some are not often used. If you buy too much at this time, you must hoard it. With advanced storage technology, perhaps in the end, these medicinal materials will only be lost. If that is the case, losses are inevitable.

So Chujiu hesitated again and again, and simply chose the best ones, and shopped around to pick out the most suitable medicinal materials, instead of taking all the medicinal materials back as long as Wanniang said at the beginning, as long as they gave the money.

Each of her medicinal materials is divided into three grades. The highest quality medicinal materials are expensive, and she will buy them without hesitation. At a price that makes Orion stare, it can be said that it is basically given up.

The medicinal materials she bought in this way were much smaller than what Wanniang had said at the beginning, but the overall quality was much better.

This move of hers made the hunters a little dissatisfied, muttering that they bought everything before, why is it that someone else is so picky and picky now, not to mention lowering the price.

Chujiu turned a deaf ear to it, she had roughly guessed what kind of person Cang Yuhe was, and she was taken advantage of.

The imperial physician holds a salary and opens a pharmacy. Will the family agree that day?
Therefore, if Jishitang of the Cang family has a strong waist behind him, or it is working for the Tian family, it is considered half an imperial merchant, so it is impossible for the medicinal materials there to travel so far to these hunters to collect them. Cangyu and private acquisitions.

When Cang Yuhe came here before, as long as they were medicinal materials, they would recycle them, regardless of whether they sold them or not. They just felt that these hunters were working hard to dig medicinal materials, and they were completely kind.

It's just that this kind of behavior didn't seem to have any good results. On the contrary, these hunters were raised carelessly. Walk.

That kind of medicinal material actually doesn't have much medicinal effect, even if you bring it back, it's not easy to use it for dispensing, so it's better not to buy it.

"Those are expensive." Mao Laoba smoked a long cigarette, tapped the cigarette holder on the sole of his shoe, curled his lips and said, "I've been watching it for a long time, and I know it well. Your father won't make that stuff. Such an expensive price."

Mao Laoba said and waved his hands.

Chu Jiu reached out and touched the medicinal material, and said, "Baye Mao doesn't know something. Herbal medicine has a strange nature. Some of them need to be fresh, and the fresher the better, but the amount should be increased when decocting the medicine. The better it is, this herbal medicine is old, take it back and put it alone, and then use it in a few years, it must be a hundred times better than the fresh one, and the price will increase in the future, as for those, it will be different. "

　Asking for support, will roll.
