After following the crowd into the city, Niu Caohua brought their skilled acrobatics to the familiar drug store.
Huichun Hall.
Niubatu still followed the child without saying a word, but his body was no longer stooped, but straightened up a lot. I am much bolder now than before.
It's just that the person in the store today is not the familiar old doctor from before, but a young man in his twenties, lying lazily on the counter. His eyes lit up when he saw them come in.
"What do you guys want to buy?" the young man asked quickly.
Niu Caohua calmly looked at the drug store in front of her. The layout inside had not changed, but there were fewer people.
There are fewer guests.
There are even fewer doctors sitting in the hall.
strangeness!
Could it be that this store has changed people?
In the past, when they came, customers would line up and it would be lively inside. Why is it that it has only been more than ten days this time, so much has changed!
"Where was that old doctor from before?" The more Niu Caohua looked at him, the more she felt that this young man was unreliable.
"No, are you here to get medicine? Do you have the money?"
"No, we have something. We want the doctor to help us palm it." Niu Caohua felt that the person in front of her was even more unreliable, so she simply took out a few ginseng roots.
"Cut, just break the grass roots a little. If there's anything to see, get out of here if you don't take medicine." The young man drove people away impatiently without even looking at the few whiskers.
Niu Caohua was so angry that she laughed. No wonder the drug store was empty. It would be strange if this young man opened a store like this and it didn't close down.
"Are you a doctor?" Niu Caohua looked at the young man with unkind eyes. Are you a doctor? If not, then if you open a pharmacy and get the wrong medicine and kill someone, it will be a big deal.
"What, what are you doing! Get out if you don't have money!" The young man looked uncomfortable and pushed them out. Then he closed the door and closed the shop.
This operation made them look confused.
Is your drug store closed?
"Little girl, don't come here to buy medicine in the future. This place is no longer the Huichun Hall it used to be." A fat lady passing by saw the three of them standing at the door of the Huichun Hall, looking dull, and couldn't help but speak.
"Auntie, what's going on here?" The changes have been huge.
"Hey, it's a long story~" Although the fat lady said this, she directly took them to the corner and started to tell them what happened during this period.
As the fat lady narrated, the whole story was revealed one by one.
This time, the old doctor who was the previous shopkeeper of Spring Hall is dead!
Cause of death unknown.
This old doctor had a first wife who died of illness more than 20 years ago, leaving behind a son. Soon after, he remarried and gave birth to another son and a daughter.
At the beginning, the second wife was kind to her previous son, but as the business of the drug store became more and more prosperous, she gradually became harsh on him.
When the old doctor found out, he was very angry, so he took his eldest son with him, took care of him personally, and taught him his lifelong medical skills.
His eldest son lived up to his expectations and learned quickly. He worked as a handyman in a drug store in his teens, became a doctor in the drug store in his twenties, and became a famous doctor in the drug store in his thirties.
Even medical skills are superior to those of others.
Originally, everything was going in a good direction, but ten days ago, the old doctor died suddenly at home.
While the government was investigating the cause of death, the old doctor's wife jumped out and identified her as the person the eldest son had killed, and she also produced evidence.
The eldest son was imprisoned, and the government continued to investigate, but the shop fell into the hands of the younger son.
That's all if you manage it well.
But for unknown reasons, the younger son drove away all the doctors in the shop. He himself had no medical skills, and he also raised the price of the original medicinal materials by a large amount, resulting in fewer and fewer customers.
"It's a sin." The fat lady shook her head and sighed.
After sending the fat lady away, Niu Caohua was a little worried.
The biggest medicine shop in this city is Hui Chun Tang. Now that it has become like this, the ginseng is a bit difficult to handle.
"Let's go. Let's go to the next pharmacy." Niu Caohua only hopes that the doctor here can be more reliable.
Not far from Huichun Hall, there is another pharmacy.
Jirentang.
The business of this drug store was originally very deserted, but since the incident at Huichun Hall, the business has become more and more prosperous.
As soon as the three of them entered, they almost didn't find a place to set foot.
This medicine shop is much smaller than Huichun Hall and cannot accommodate so many people. Many people gather inside and it is as lively as a vegetable market.
The waiters in the store were very busy and shouted at the top of their lungs.
There are two doctors sitting in the hall who are very familiar. It seems that they used to be in the Huichun Hall and are now here.
There was no need to queue up here, so Niucaohua led them to the front and shouted several times before the waiter's attention was diverted to them.
"Are these customers here to get medicine or to see a doctor?" The waiter's voice was hoarse, but he was still greeting him warmly.
"I dug up some medicinal materials. Can your doctor help me see if they are worth it?" Niucaohua said and handed over a ginseng beard.
These were accidentally broken while digging.
The clerk also knew some medical skills, especially the clerk who took medicine. It was impossible not to know the medicinal materials. He looked at the ginseng beard in his hand, ran into the back quickly, and came out soon: "Guys, please follow me. .”
As he spoke, he led them into the small door at the back.
Entering from the small door, there is a small room, in which sits a middle-aged man with a black beard, probably in his forties.
"Guys, please take a seat."
After the middle-aged man motioned for them to sit down, he couldn't wait to get to the point.
"This is a ginseng whisker. Do you have any ginseng in your hands?"
Ginseng grows deep in the mountains and is extremely difficult to find. The older the ginseng is, the more valuable it is and the harder it is to get.
The business of their medicine shop has been booming these days, but what follows is a large consumption of medicinal materials. Many medicinal materials are facing shortcomings, especially those that require aging.
I’m not happy now when I see someone bringing ginseng roots to inquire about the price.
"We have ginseng. I want the doctor to check it out for me." Niu Caohua nodded and took the cloth bag from Niu Dadu. There were four fresh ginseng sticks in it, still stained with some soil.
The largest one stayed at home.
"My surname is Xu." Doctor Xu's eyes lit up when he saw the ginseng they took out.
These ginseng roots are very old at first glance.
