Half a month is not a short time, but for Jiang Yichen, who lives on his fingers, even ten fingers are not enough. Isn't it too long?
In half a month, Wu Tong came to Siliang Qianjin Hall three times to get medicine for Miao Feng'er.
After Miao Feng'er fully recovered, Wu Tong and his wife came to Siliang Qianjin Hall to thank the great benefactor, Shopkeeper Du, who saved the couple's lives.
Of course, Jiang Yichen deliberately avoided it every time. Therefore, until Wu Tong left, he failed to notice that his other benefactor was also hiding in the medicine hall.
Just a few days ago, Jiang Yichen suddenly discovered that Egg and Mei Huaijin were missing. Judging from the fact that Youfu Inn was packed with guests for ten and a half days in a row, they must have made a lot of money before they left.
Watch until the clouds open and the moon shines brightly.
After Jiang Yichen had been looking forward to it for half a month, the words "Yuntian Temple" suddenly rang in his ears. Jiang Yichen was in a daze for a moment, mistakenly thinking that he was still dreaming.
However, the visitor's voice was short and powerful, like a thunderbolt exploding in his mind, which lifted Jiang Yichen's spirits.
Jiang Yichen, who had regained consciousness, was like a bride about to be lifted off her red hijab, nervous and excited, but also frightened with joy.
But he tried his best to calm his throbbing heart, slowly raised his head and looked at the person.
The person who came was a young woman who appeared to be only slightly older than Jiang Yichen. She was wearing a pink embroidered auspicious cloud robe, and she was carrying a long and generous thing on her back. Even with Jiang Yichen's eyesight, he could not tell what it was, so he could only tell what it was. Based on experience, I guess it's probably a weapon.
With two braids that look like weeping willows and a pair of big, watery eyes, dark and bright, this woman in pink clothes seems to be able to seduce a man's soul with just a flick of her eyes.
Unfortunately, there was no trace of amor in these big eyes, but the gaze they shot was like a sword, making Jiang Yichen feel that he would be eaten alive if he dared to take another look.
In this regard, he could only choose to avoid the edge temporarily and look away, looking a little embarrassed.
In the afternoon, there were not many patients to take care of in the medicine hall. When Jiang Yichen glanced around with the corner of his eye, he could no longer see many white or gray figures.
Shopkeeper Du had obviously returned to his bedroom. Lao Zhang, who was in charge of the medicine cabinet with Jiang Yichen, was a bit older and had to rest at this time and was not in the hall. It seemed understandable that the woman came straight to him.
He rested his eyes on the piece of mulberry paper and took a quick look. There were dozens of items neatly listed on it.
Jiang Yichen reached out and turned the mulberry paper around and looked at it carefully.
Thirty taels of Wangyue Sand, fifty taels of evening primrose, twenty taels of Zihe Che, sixty taels of Wulingzhi, ten taels of Baicao Shuang... a total of thirty kinds of herbs.
After silently reciting the contents on the paper, Jiang Yichen discovered that there was still a small half of the paper folded behind his back. When he unfolded it, he saw that there were Datura, Sunflower Grass, Aralia Grass, Wuhua, Duhuo, Cuscuta, and Aracenia. Waiting for nearly twenty medicines.
One by one, there were forty-nine kinds of medicinal herbs on this long strip of mulberry paper. Based on the number of these medicinal herbs, the total weight of these medicinal herbs is about a hundred kilograms.
Jiang Yichen has been very careful in taking care of medicinal herbs recently, and he is very familiar with the amount of herbs stored in the Four Liang Qianjin Hall. According to this medicine list, the amount of herbs required by Yuntian Guan is almost 90% of the stock in the medicine hall. Among them, There are still several things missing, and it is no longer within his control to prepare such a number of herbs.
So, he stood up, said, "Girl, sit down for a moment," and walked to the backyard.
The woman thought Jiang Yichen was just going to get medicine, so she shouted at his retreating back: "Call Old Man Du here too."
"Mr. Du... Boss, I hope you haven't fallen asleep yet, otherwise, I will only be offended. This girl wants to see you by name~" Jiang Yichen paused for a moment before walking away, and thought to himself.

Eucommia ulmoides always felt uneasy today, so although she returned to her room to rest early, she never changed her clothes and went to bed.
As you get older, your intuition becomes very accurate.
No, he just took a nap and someone knocked on his door.
The fact that the clerk in the medicine hall can knock on the door is nothing more than two things. It's a big deal that he can't do the master's work.
"Mr. Du, someone is here from Yuntian Temple, saying they want to see you." Xiao Jiang's voice came from outside the room.
Du Zhong was very satisfied with Jiang Yichen's performance in the medicine hall for more than half a month. He even thought that if there was such a disciple, he would be willing to give him all his money, but at first thought, he was just using four thousand pounds. He didn't even want to know Jiang Yichen's name, he only asked for a surname. After all, we couldn't let everyone use the word "Ye Xiao" to greet this kid in public.
Yuntian Guan is here, and it seems that it's almost time for this kid to leave. Du Zhong couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to give up.

In order to promote the virtue of benevolence and righteousness and show the ambition to help the world, Siliang Qianjintang only seeks small profits for ordinary people.
This small amount of profit is like a drop in the bucket in terms of the operation of the pharmacy, and it is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth.
Therefore, in order to support the normal operation of a medicine hall, in addition to cooperating with other medicine halls and medical clinics, it is also inevitable to have business contacts with some financial owners, including wealthy country gentry and rich merchants, as well as wealthy families with flourishing branches and industries. help.
Yuntian Temple is one of them, and it is also an extremely special existence.
The reason why it is special is that although Taoist temples like Yuntian Temple are not everywhere in Zhongzhou, they are still numerous. If it were not for the strong popularity of incense, it would be impossible to squander the excess and abundant silver on elixirs and pharmaceuticals.
Yuntian Temple has been proficient in the art of alchemy for decades, and the elixirs it has produced have their own extraordinary effects. The extraordinary effects also bring immeasurable value. Therefore, Yuntian Temple is a wealthy Taoist temple, and it is also the Four Thousand Jin Hall. One of the few Taoist temples among many financial sponsors.
Yuntian Guan paid not only for the herbs from Siliang Qianjintang, but also for the labor of Siliang Qianjintang.
Not only did the staff at the medicine hall have to help carry the herbs up the Qianren Mountain, they also had to stay in the temple for a long time to cooperate with the medicine and elixir making.
For this reason, Yuntian Guan was not stingy and spent generously, so generously that Siliang Qianjintang found it difficult to lose his temper.
For example, now, when the woman from Yuntianguan puts a stack of thousand-tael banknotes into the hands of shopkeeper Du.
Shopkeeper Du had no choice but to respond to the woman's every request with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Du, is it possible to sort out these medicinal materials in one day?"
Shopkeeper Du promised: "Yes, yes, of course I can!"
The woman in pink seemed quite satisfied with Shopkeeper Du's answer, and said with a smile: "Okay, as usual, remember to pack the medicinal materials securely, and you will also arrange the manpower that will follow me up the mountain."
Shopkeeper Du said: "Of course it is, Miss Xi, but please don't worry."
The woman in pink clothes, known as Miss Xi, suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "By the way, the master is in a hurry to make elixirs this time. We can't delay for too long on the journey. Don't fill each box of medicinal materials too full. Put it in a few more boxes, so that Run faster. Don’t begrudge your guys. The guys in Siliang Qianjin Hall have a good foundation in pharmacology. The most important thing is that the people you pick must be agile and responsive. If you don’t bother, there will definitely be more Du Lao. Call a few, and I will come early tomorrow morning to try their skills, and then I will be on my way after picking the heads."
Shopkeeper Du said: "No trouble, no trouble, the hall has recently recruited many strong young men, and they are all quite capable."
Miss Xi smiled and said: "Okay! See you tomorrow then!"
After the woman in pink clothes left happily, Jiang Yichen was still in a daze.
When Miss Xi was in front of him just now, she looked so domineering and called Shopkeeper Du Old Man Du.
But when Shopkeeper Du showed up, she immediately became as smiling as a flower, lively and cute, just like Shopkeeper Du's granddaughter, which made the old man happy after seeing her.
Jiang Yichen shook his head. He still couldn't understand such a creature as a woman.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen was shocked at first, wondering why his heartbeat was so strong and powerful.
He took his thoughts back and glanced to the left, only to find that shopkeeper Du had arrived beside him at some point and was nudging himself with his elbow.
Looking at Shopkeeper Du's smiling eyes, Jiang Yichen looked confused and waited for him to speak.
Shopkeeper Du whispered: "Your opportunity has come."
Jiang Yichen heard this without thinking, shaking his head like a rattle, and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, I'm not familiar with her yet."
Snapped!
Shopkeeper Du raised his hand and struck Jiang Yichen on the head, but Jiang Yichen was unable to avoid it due to his clever skills.
"You brat, where are you thinking?!"
The sound of words in his ears also brought Jiang Yichen back to his senses. Thinking back to what he had just said, he was so ashamed that his cheeks turned red in an instant.
