Lu Zheng put all the walnuts that had just been smashed into his hands and said seriously: "Riding... How difficult can it be? You certainly don't know when you have been practicing for the past two years. I know a lot."
Pulling weeds, hoeing the ground, planting herbs, making medicine...it's all a matter of course.
Lu Ming chuckled, not sure if he believed what she said. Lu Zheng touched his sleeves, took out a few gold leaves and a letter, and forced them into Lu Ming's hands, "Let Tianyi give my senior brother, my medicine." Don’t miss the medicine on the list.”
After a long time, Lu Ming looked at her expectant eyes before he said, "It's quite safe here. Don't run around when I'm not around."
Lu Zheng nodded and promised, "You know I'm very busy every day and don't have time to run around. Don't worry and go back. Go back as soon as possible."
Lu Ming, who had no idea that Lu Zheng was going to visit various pharmacies in Beijing the next day, nodded and left, disappearing into the hall in an instant, leaving only one sentence.
"Don't get hurt again."
Lu Zheng suppressed her voice and replied: "I know..."
After settling the important matter, Lu Zheng climbed onto the couch in a good mood and slept until noon the next day.
If Lu Ming had even taken a look at the medicines listed on Lu Zheng's medicine list in advance, he would not have agreed to her return to the Valley. By the time he arrived at Wuhui Valley and saw the medicines on the medicine list, it would have been too late.
After Lu Zheng woke up at noon and had lunch, he gave Xiao Qi and others acupuncture as usual. After finishing his work, he took Wang Zhi out.
Xiao Qi sent Chang Ping to set up a carriage and follow him.
As the New Year was approaching, there were many people in various shops on the street. Lu Zheng first bought some children's toys for Wang Zhi, such as wooden horses, paper kites, and nine-link rings, until Wang Zhi became a little sleepy.
Lu Zheng handed him over to Lian Xin and asked them to wait in the carriage. He did not let Chang Ping follow him, and went to Shenwu Street with only Huasui by his side.
Lu Zheng stood at the door of the first drug store and looked ahead, "Why are these drug stores so crowded?"
At first glance, one row is filled with pharmacies. Aren’t you afraid of stealing business?
Although Huasui had been with Lu Zheng for a few days, she still spoke softly and softly, "The shops on Shenwu Street are like this. I heard it was the suggestion of the medical sage Runze many years ago."
"No drug store can guarantee that there are enough medicines in the store every day. This is very convenient for those who are in a hurry to grab life-saving medicines."
If you are missing any medicine, you don’t have to go far. You can just look for it from house to house. Lu Zheng praised it, it’s very convenient.
"And these pharmacies are just for the benefit of the people. Most of them are branches. The main store is not here, and the merchants who purchase goods will not come here."
Lu Zheng nodded. It seemed that Runze had great influence back then, allowing so many businesses to ignore these small interests.
Lu Zheng raised his head and glanced at the plaque, "Deyi Hall, let's go in and take a look."
The two of them walked in and were greeted by the waiters in the hall. When they saw Lu Zheng's clothes, they didn't dare to neglect, "What medicine does the girl want to buy? I will help the girl find it."
Lu Zheng raised a red sand leaf in his hand and asked him, "Are there any with this kind of appearance? A slightly worse one is fine."
It wasn't a little bit worse, but it was a lot worse. Lu Zheng looked at the red sand leaf in front of her that was half the size of her hand and asked the guy, "Is there anything better?"
The waiter said: "This is already the best. To tell the truth, girl, even the ones used in Taiyuan Hospital are of this quality."
"The red sand leaves are ready for use in one year. There is no need for pesticide farmers to keep them until the second year. The girl has probably grown this one for three or four years, right?"
Lu Zheng stared at the red sand leaves in her hand, three or four years? In addition to their own special medicines, the medicinal materials in the valley are also harvested as they grow.
She planted this this spring and harvested it in late summer. She has not tried to see what it will look like after three or four years.
"Let's take a look." Lu Zheng said and motioned to Huasui, and the two left Deyi Hall together.
The waiter glanced at the backs of them as they left, then at the red sand leaves he took out, and muttered: "The quality of these is perfect, you can't find it like that elsewhere..."
Suddenly, a voice came from beside me, "Why are you dazing? This medicinal material is so precious now, so it's better to put it away."
"There was a girl looking for this medicine just now, but she didn't like ours. I think it's pretty good."
The person who spoke just now was the pharmacist from Deyitang who specializes in medicine. He took the tray in his hand and could easily divide each medicine accurately without weighing it.
Hearing what the waiter said, he smiled and said, "Then she can't find anything better than ours. You don't know that northern Sichuan where red sand leaves are planted was hit by a snowstorm a few days ago. Just look at it, it won't smell like this for a few days." The price of medicine is going to go up.”
"That girl may not understand pharmacology. The red sand leaves in her hand are twice as big as ours, but they are used in medicine the same way."
"Twice as big?" the pharmacist asked in surprise.
The waiter nodded, "Yes, that's why you look down on us. The big red sand leaves must have been growing for three or four years, right? They must have been left somewhere and forgotten to collect."
"The red sand leaves grow slowly, three or four years? If they are as big as you say, the best herbicide farmers will have to wait for them for seven or eight years."
The guy was stunned: "..."
Then she will definitely not be able to find it. Except for special medicines such as wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, the older the better, the general medicinal materials in Beijing Chinese Medicine Store are no more than two years old.
Lu Zheng visited more than ten pharmacies in a row, but couldn't find any good-quality red sand leaves. In the end, he had to reluctantly buy some from the last pharmacies he visited.
"I want something sweet. Where can I find something delicious nearby?"
Huasui took the medicinal materials in her hand and said, "There is a snack shop called Jiangnan'an on the street behind. In the past, when the prince had a bad appetite, Eunuch Fu would come here to buy him snacks, but it's a bit far away."
"Is there a shortcut?" She saw that there were alleys everywhere in the capital, and there were alleys and alleys.
"Sometimes, but the alley is narrow..."
"It's okay, let's go!"
Huasui took Lu Zheng to take a shortcut and turned into an alley when two people appeared in front of them. As soon as the two people appeared, Huasui stopped.
"I misremembered, girl, let's go this way."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Huasui turned around, five more people appeared at the end of the alley, blocking the two of her in the alley, with the same malicious eyes.
Lu Zheng chuckled lightly. Wasn't this someone who had been targeting her for a long time? She turned her wrist and several silver needles fell on her fingertips.
I really don’t want to do anything.
The man in front looked at Lu Zheng and Lu Zheng with dark eyes, and said teasingly: "Where are you two girls going? Why don't you let me personally escort you?"
Lu Zheng raised his eyelids and said, "No need."
The man kept walking and walked towards Lu Zheng and the two of them, "This alley is deep and the two girls will get lost if they are not careful. You should let me..."
There was a loud "bang", and Huasui kicked the person in the chest. He hit the house on one side and fell to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, this force was really cruel.
At this moment, Lu Zheng looked at Huasui again. He was so strong and could fight so fiercely. He was simply an indispensable companion when traveling.
