After walking around casually, I soon found a drug store called Zidonglai.
The business inside was average, with an old doctor sitting in the clinic and two clerks nearby busy.
Seeing a visitor coming to the door, the waiter hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Are you here to see a doctor or take medicine? This is a century-old shop that specializes in taking medicine and treating patients. You can tell whether the medicine is good or not by just tasting it in your mouth. You can tell how much it weighs by grabbing it with your hands. Whether the disease is good or not can be known by just one touch of your hand. Just press it and you’ll know.”
The guy was smooth-talking and spoke very eloquently.
"How does it count for medical treatment? How does it count for taking medicine?" Ah Fu asked directly.
"Hey, what I said, this treatment is divided into symptoms and root causes. Getting the medicine depends on my financial resources."
As he said this, the guy wanted to reach out and pull Ah Fu into the store.
Ah Fu quickly retracted his hand and waved his hand with a smile, "Oh! Brother, I am terrible at this skill. I have seen how to collect a tiger and catch a tiger."
As soon as these words came out, the drug store clerk's expression suddenly became condensed, and even the old doctor who was reading the medical book raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Ming heard Ah Fu mention it before.
This is the lingo of the tired family, which means artificially creating diseases, using drugs or some academic and unsophisticated methods to make people feel uncomfortable.
If you continue to treat them like this, the other party will lose money and even lose their entire family.
A typical pig-killing plate.
This actually happened in later generations, and some private medical institutions did this.
First, a nurse will follow you to do the housework. In fact, it is just a cliché. They will look at your financial situation, and then they will think about how to reasonably and maximize your money.
After that, there will be a routine examination. After the examination, the report sheet will not be given to you immediately, and you will be stopped by the nurse again to continue chatting.
The staff inside can write some fancy reports at will. The content of the report will not be false, but the writing is very long and cumbersome.
In short, it's like a contract, which you can't understand, and then he only needs to use his mouth to make a minor illness extremely serious.
It creates a sense of crisis for you, and if you are anxious, you will be fooled, and you will be prescribed some medicines that will not endanger your health, but are of no use and are very false.
Sure enough, times are different, but the routines are exactly the same.
"Haha, little brother, you are worrying too much. Since you don't like me touching you, then I won't touch you."
The drug store clerk looked a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and recovered quickly with a smile on his face.
"Well, okay, I'll just buy some medicine and get me some good medicine, specially designed to treat some headaches and brain fever, as well as to regulate Qi and blood deficiency, as well as some gold-creating medicine. I want all of these."
Ah Fu smiled as he said that, and before the waiter could grin, he reminded him,
"Brother, let me remind you that the quantity I want is quite large. If the seller selling it to me is from Xingdi, Xianghan, Mohan, or Lida, then I will have to buy from another company at worst."
These words once again made several people in the store look stiff, and the store clerks, including the old doctor, couldn't help but curse inwardly.
There was actually a knowledgeable person here, but they were not dissatisfied. After all, if the quantity was really large, selling real medicine would be very profitable.
Ah Fu gave them a heads up.
Zhao Ming also knew the meaning of Ah Fu's words.
The so-called Mohan refers to some leftover medicinal materials, while Xianghan refers to fake medicine mixed with five spices or cumin.
The fishy place is the bad medicine, and the fake medicine is the fishy medicine.
Meeting an expert like Ah Fu improved the efficiency of the drug store by several levels. In less than half an hour, all the required medicines were packed.
When I left, I had an extra forty or fifty kilograms of medicinal materials to deal with various common diseases, the most common of which were Jinchuang medicines.
When you go to Chahar, there will be no shortage of conflicts, and Jinchuang Medicine is a must.
But then walking on the street, Zhao Ming gradually realized that Xi'an Mansion was also in poverty.
There were a lot of people, but most of them were beggars. If Zhao Ming hadn't been armed with a knife, he would have definitely come to rob him when he saw this big bag of packages.
At this moment, as Zhao Ming and others were walking, several men suddenly came out of a corner.
The leader was a slightly wealthy middle-aged man who looked very philistine.
These days we can see such wealthy people in Shaanxi Province. They are either rich or noble.
Just this cunning look made Zhao Ming frown.
Just as he was about to take a detour, the other party took the initiative to chat.
"This master! He looks quite wealthy. Do you need some good goods?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile. As he spoke, he glanced at the cook behind Zhao Ming, and then glanced at Ah Fu, who was obviously a servant. He already had some concerns in his heart.
This is a fat sheep!
"Good product? What kind of product?" Zhao Ming was suspicious. He wanted to see what he was selling.
The middle-aged man looked around and then said in a low voice, "Yellow goods, white goods, hidden goods, overt goods, red goods, tall mules, as long as you want it, I can get it."
If you want goods from the south or from other places, the price may be higher and the time may take longer, but as long as the money is in place.
I, Xu Laosan, will definitely be able to handle it properly for you! Doing business with me is absolutely a matter of fact and I will never lie! "
Listening to these words, Zhao Ming felt confused. What do you mean? I didn't quite understand.
Ah Fu heard this and quickly pulled Zhao Ming aside and explained in a low voice,
"Uncle, this is a personal trafficker!"
"Huang is an unmarried woman, Bai is a married woman, Hidden is a deceived woman, Ming is a kidnapped woman, Red is a victimized woman, and Tall Mule is a victimized woman who is over 1.7 meters tall.
These southern goods are women from the south and other places, and foreign goods are naturally women from other places.
But uncle, let’s not offend such people. Those who can do this kind of business are local snakes, and they probably have some connections.
We can't afford to suffer, and if we can't pull it out cleanly, it will easily make us look messy. "
Hearing Ah Fu's explanation, Zhao Ming was stunned.
Are you so arrogant in doing this kind of business now? Stopping sales on the street?
In my heart, I was very disdainful of the middle-aged man in front of me, but I didn't want to conflict with him.
He is not such a holy woman. Although many of these women are pitiful people, considering the current disaster year, most of them are willing to do so.
I really can’t live, there’s nothing I can do.
"What do you think about this? Why don't you buy a few skins? I think I'm doing great. It's definitely not a problem for me to have a few more skins in this family.
And they’re all worth one pound, so the price is negotiable! "
The middle-aged man continued to persuade.
The so-called skin means a woman, and a pound means eighteen years old.
If this was just an ordinary purchase, Zhao Ming might actually buy some.
Think of it as replenishing the population of Fengjiazhuang and solving the problem of single men under his command.
But now, heading north is a bumpy road. Bringing Ah Fu and two thick-legged cooks has opened the door to convenience. Bringing some women north will be too much of a hindrance.
Once you encounter a robber, you will definitely not be able to do it with your hands tied.
Rejecting this local snake's promotion, Zhao Ming quickened his pace and turned back.
I originally wanted to continue shopping, but I just revealed my wealth. If I continue shopping, something might happen.
