Even though the courtyard looks pretty good, it is still much worse than the courtyard of the Hou Mansion. At least there are no earthworms here in the winter.
When packing his things, Zhou Wuwei didn't open Ye Jintang's portion at all.
In his opinion, Ye Jintang would never come to live here no matter what time.
The two of them didn't stay in the courtyard for too long, and went to the surrounding medicinal shops together.
Ye Jintang bought a total of 4 medicinal materials from four different medicinal material shops according to the medicine list given by Liuli.
For the same pound of medicinal materials, the price difference can be as little as dozens of yuan, or as much as one tael of silver.
As a Chinese medicine doctor who has become a monk on the way, Ye Jintang is really bad at identifying and appraising medicinal materials.
When she buys medicinal materials, she can only rely on the knowledge she learned from books to barely distinguish the quality of medicinal materials.
As for the price, she compared more than a dozen pharmacies and chose 4, including the highest price, the lowest price, and two that were mass-priced.
Zhou Wuwei didn't say much and just worked hard, helping Ye Jintang put all the medicinal materials on the carriage.
After a busy morning, Ye Jintang was a little hungry.
"Master, shall we go back now?"
"At noon, there are fewer people coming and going at the corner gate. Let's go back first. After I observe for a few days and no one notices me, it won't be too late to go out for a stroll later."
Ye Jintang has always been rigorous in doing things and does not like to be manipulated by others. He will not give even the slightest chance to his enemies.
The master and the servant bought the medicinal materials and rushed back to the Hou Mansion. Two streets away from the Hou Mansion, Zhou Cong was already waiting here.
When no one was paying attention to them, Ye Jintang jumped out of the carriage and climbed over the wall with Zhou Wuwei back to the Marquis Mansion, while Zhou Cong drove back in the carriage.
To outsiders, it would appear that Zhou Cong was just out shopping for items. No one would have thought that Ye Jintang had been out all morning.
"Can anyone come to see me while I'm away?"
After entering the house, Ye Jintang quickly changed his clothes and asked Liuli.
"No, the slave gave me poison early in the morning. She barely left the palace all morning, and she didn't even have time to find trouble with the slave."
"That's good. Is there any movement from Hexiang and Yunshuang?"
"He Xiang wanted to enter our yard, but Grandma Liu blocked her back."
"It would be a disaster to keep these two around. I think He Xiang looks pretty, so why not find an opportunity to send them away."
Lvzhu and Forsythia who were waiting on the side all looked at Ye Jintang with puzzled faces, not understanding what she meant by sending them away.
"You two little girls are still young, so naturally you won't think too much about your own marriage."
"But Hexiang and Yunshuang have both reached the age of marriage."
When Aunt Liu mentioned this, the two little girls immediately understood that Ye Jintang wanted to betroth He Xiang to someone else.
Lu Zhu blushed in embarrassment, "I will stay with the girl my whole life and never marry."
"You silly girl, you have to have your own life instead of being my maid for the rest of your life."
"I'm not stupid at all. If I follow the girl, I can have enough food and clothing. That's enough."
"Your requirements are low."
Ye Jintang glanced at Luzhu with a smile. In her eyes, Luzhu was still a child. Now she might not be able to listen to whatever principles of life he was telling her.
"Mother Liu, I bought a lot of medicinal materials. You bring the medicinal materials in and put them in the flower hall. Liuli and I will study them carefully."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
The medicinal materials are arranged, from the original 4 portions to 5 portions.
One of them was taken by Ye Jintang from the space.
The name of her space is Shennong Immortal Mansion. With such an awesome name, it is natural that it cannot be ordinary. She is very curious about whether the medicinal materials produced in it are better than those outside.
"Girl, why did you buy so much?"
Looking at the small mountain of paper packages on the table, Liuli was dumbfounded.
"If you want to teach me how to identify medicinal materials, then I won't let you down."
Ye Jintang could still see Liuli's little thoughts.
All the medicinal ingredients on the list she gave her were carefully described to her.
This will make her purchase, that is, actual combat, and I want to test whether she has memorized all the medicinal materials she has learned.
If she had handed the list of medicinal ingredients directly to the shopkeeper to prepare the medicine when she bought it, Liuli would probably have to test her on each medicinal ingredient when she came back, and he would slowly teach her later.
But now that the exam has become a discussion between two people, it is different.
This shows that Ye Jintang is smart and studious, and really wants to learn some real skills from Liuli.
When Liuli taught her medical skills, he would naturally be faster and more demanding.
"Girl, you are really beyond my expectations."
At this moment, Liuli was so shocked that she couldn't speak. If she had half the enthusiasm of Ye Jintang back then, she would have already mastered her father's unique skills.
"I bought a total of 5 medicinal materials, and we compared them one by one to see which medicinal materials are better and the price is reasonable."
The prices for selling medicinal materials are fair, so naturally the prices will not be deliberately lowered when collecting medicinal materials. Ye Jintang can also save a lot of worry by cooperating with such a merchant.
You can never make enough money. Ye Jintang pursues stability, not high profits.
If she only pursues high profits, her medicinal materials business will not last long.
The two of them opened the paper package on the table and took out 5 servings of Bupleurum.
Liuli placed 5 pieces of Bupleurum in a row.
"The first batch of Bupleurum has the highest price. Firstly, it is of a good vintage. Regardless of the color, taste, and integrity of the roots, it is considered to be top quality. Secondly, it is processed extremely cleanly. No other drugs are used to smoke it. There is no dust at all on it. , you can use it directly after buying it, so the price is naturally higher.”
Liuli took out a pen and paper and took notes while talking.
"The price of the second batch is medium, and the age is not much different from the first. However, the roots are damaged, and there is more soil on the Bupleurum. After removing the impurities, the weight will be missing, and the price is not cheap."
"The third portion is about the same. As for the fourth portion of Bupleurum, it is too thin. It is a small Bupleurum that has not grown up, and the medicinal effect is not good. In order to look good, it is obviously smoked with medicine. If you buy such Bupleurum and boil it, the effect will be natural. It will be greatly reduced.”
As he spoke, Liuli's eyes fell on the last portion of Bupleurum.
There was a clear pause in her voice.
"This Bupleurum should be of the best quality among the five. Regardless of year or quality, it is the best."
"And the top of Bupleurum is extremely clean, without any impurities. To be able to do this, it must have been carefully selected."
Liuli broke off some small roots and put them in her mouth to chew. After a while, she continued, "This Bupleurum is definitely the best of the best. Use it to prepare medicine, and the efficacy will definitely be much better than other Bupleurum." "
"Girl, you paid a lot for this Bupleurum."
"The fifth and first portions are both 400 Wen per catty, the second and third portions are 260 Wen per catty, and the fourth portion is the cheapest, only 100 Wen."
"Looking at it this way, it's really cheap but not good."
