Zhao Chuan couldn't think of the reason.
Zhao Chuan came to Jiangzhou by boat from Yangshan County Pier half a month ago. When he got off the ship at Jiangzhou Pier, Huang Jin was the medical officer on board the luxury passenger ship and invited him to visit him when he had time, saying that the ship had been pirated by pirates. It was damaged and needs major repairs. It will stay at the dock for a while. Does he have any new ideas?
Zhao Chuan then asked the ship owner Huang Jin about his appearance and age, and was sure that most of them were the Huang Jin he knew.
Wang Decai heard the conversation between the two and came over to ask Mr. Zhao, do you recognize the ship boss Huang Jin?
Zhao Chuan said that I know Huang Jin and have a good relationship with him, but I don’t know if he is the boss of the ship.
Wang Decai asked if he could go to the dock and have a look, wouldn't he know?
Zhao Chuan chuckled and said that if it was really the Huang Jin that I recognized, he would have to come to me. This young master has an identity!
Wang Decai said that if this is really the case, I would like you to help me with my brother's matter.
Zhao Chuan said that if it is really my old acquaintance Huang Jin, recommending this person is a trivial matter, but the recommender must also be responsible. I don’t know this person very well...
Wang Decai laughed and said, "Don't worry about this. Do you know who this man is?"
Wang Decai said, "Do you know who that man is?"
Zhao Chuan shook his head and said, "I didn't know, I'm not a local."
Wang Decai said that this man was the man I sold him the intoxicating ginseng that saved his mother's life.
Zhao Chuan was in awe upon hearing this.
"This man is very loyal." Zhao Chuan said, "Does a righteous person have a special name?"
"Of course," Wang Decai said, and then introduced to Zhao Chuan: His name is Liu Shouyi, who can serve as a royal guard.
Zhao Chuan said that there is nothing to say about such a person, he is a trustworthy person.
Liu Shouyi said that I will trouble you Mr. Zhao.
Zhao Chuan said that I guess most of them might know this Huang Jin. Let's do this. I'll write a letter and you go to the ship owner Huang Jin and ask him if he knows a young man named Zhao Chuan who saved his life. If he is interested, , you give him this letter, and he will come to see me.
Liu Shouyi said yes.
Zhao Chuan immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Liu Shouyi, asking him to go to Jiangzhou Pier to find Huang Jin.
As soon as Liu Shouyi left, seeing Zhao Chuan sitting there and being bored again, Wang Decai came over to chat with him.
"Mr. Zhao, how old do you think this person is?"
"You look like you're in your fifties, but you don't feel energetic?" Zhao Chuan asked doubtfully.
"It seems that I still have a good eye. This person is actually a few years older than me." Wang Decai said.
"He used the disguise technique?" Zhao Chuan was surprised.
"yes."
"Why is he doing this?" Zhao Chuan was puzzled.
"I don't know. I haven't asked him before, otherwise you can ask? I want to know too." Wang Decai said with a smile.
The two southern pharmacists were also busy processing medicinal materials in front of the store.
Seeing that Wang Decai's drug store has brought in so many goods, neighbors often come into the store to say hello and chat with Wang Decai.
"Shopkeeper Wang, is business so good? Having so many goods in stock is a sign of making a fortune!"
"Where, this is a medicine shop, and my main business is selling medicinal materials. This is just a friend from the south passing by to borrow the land for processing!" Wang Decai responded.
"Hey! If you don't tell anyone, you really can't leak money..." The neighbor laughed.
Even if these three people were working on these three carts of medicinal materials at the same time, if they were processed according to Zhao Chuan's requirements, they would probably have to be processed until dark at least.
Zhao Chuan didn't care about them. This was the effect Zhao Chuan wanted. He wanted to take the opportunity to escape, because even if he paid for these three carts of medicinal materials in advance, it would cost at least ten thousand taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money.
Zhao Chuan didn't look anxious on his face, but he was anxious in his heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Chuan excused himself that he had to go back to refine the elixir. He wanted to leave, saying that he would be asked to come back after everything was processed.
This is a real excuse, and Wang Decai cannot keep it.
Just as he was about to go out, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the store.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The master is going in!" Someone rushed at the door of the store to chase away the pharmacists who were gathering together to process medicinal materials.
Zhao Chuan and Wang Decai were chatting. Zhao Chuan just said he wanted to leave but didn't get up yet.
Then I heard someone shouting: "Shopkeeper Wang, my dad is dying, hurry up and take a look!"
Then a group of people yelled and cursed, kicked aside the pharmacist's clerk who was processing medicinal materials at the entrance of the store, and carried in a frail old man.
"Shopkeeper Wang! Wang Decai! Come on, come on!" A thin, monkey-like young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stepped into the drug store, rushed to Wang Decai, grabbed Wang Decai, and dragged him to the old man.
The man was in good health, but his hair was white and his face was ashen. He was lying on the stretcher and could hardly breathe.
"This, this..." Wang Decai stuttered when he saw the patient's appearance.
"Don't do this or that, get it cured quickly. I'm not short of money. If I can't cure it, I'll destroy your shop!" said the thin monkey arrogantly.
"Hey, Mr. Sun family official, why did your old man bring it to me? This, this..." Wang Decai was a little incoherent for a moment, "My shop is just a small pharmacy. My father is no longer here, so I am He’s just a dispenser of medicine, and he’s in short supply of medical treatment, so I’m afraid…”
"Don't talk nonsense! Who wants to come to your place? Our group originally wanted to go to Qingfeng Temple to find someone to see a doctor. We didn't expect that there would be no Taoists there. When we got here, my old man was like this. Please find a way quickly. If If something unexpected happens, it will harm your whole family!" Thin Monkey was furious.
The old man was breathing rapidly and his face became paler.
Wang Decai was a little confused and lost his mind for a moment. He suddenly thought of Zhao Chuan beside him and looked at him for help.
When Zhao Chuan saw this, he whispered to him: "This old man is angry. The road has been bumpy. His heart and airways must have been blocked..."
When Wang Decai heard this, he quickly took out the silver needle and said, "The only way is to try it with the needle to see if it works."
Zhao Chuan shook his head. He was afraid that the needle would not be effective. The patient was like this, and there was no time to heal the blood stasis on his own.
What to do? Wang Decai stared at Zhao Chuan with pleading eyes, and whispered in Zhao Chuan's ear that this thin monkey was originally a rogue in this town, and he married into the wealthy Sun family in Jiangzhou City. Offending him would be very troublesome, and he couldn't afford to offend him. .
Zhao Chuan thought to himself, it would be a lot of trouble for the old man to die in this medicine shop. Although it is not said whether such a patient should come to this small medicine shop, the reputation of this medicine shop will definitely be damaged when the person dies.
Zhao Chuan stepped forward, took a closer look at the old man, and said, "It's too late to give him an injection. Give him a pill! Maybe he can be saved."
The several companions who came together were all rich and well-dressed. They all shouted to Wang Decai, "What are you talking about? Get the pills quickly! It's important to save people. I'll give you a lot of money!"
Wang Decai smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have any pills. I am just an ordinary drugstore."
Several people turned to Zhao Chuan angrily: "Who are you? You said you have pills? Can you save people?"
Zhao Chuan was calm and said with a smile on his face: "I am a drug dealer, and those at the door are busy processing medicinal materials. I am here to supply this drug store today. I have pills, but they are very expensive. I still need to pay cash in cash, I wonder if any of you want it?"
The thin monkey rushed to say: "How much does it cost? Is there a price? I'm not short of money, bring it quickly!"
"One thousand taels of silver!" Zhao Chuan said, "That's just the supply price to this pharmacy!"
"One thousand taels?" Several people were surprised.
"Yes, one thousand taels! If the treatment fails, the money will be refunded!" Zhao Chuan said firmly, "Is it expensive to cure one life with one thousand taels? Do you want it? If not, I have to leave. I have to rush to a pharmacy. It’s supply.”
After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, he lifted his legs to leave the medicine store.
Seeing that the old man's condition was getting worse, the thin monkey gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, one thousand taels is one thousand taels! If you can't cure him, you can leave!"
"Give me the money first!" Zhao Chuan stretched out his hand, "Hurry up, don't blame me if you give me the money late and the opportunity is wasted!"
When the thin monkey heard this, although he had a bad vision, he had no choice but to ask a few people who came with him to collect enough banknotes and handed them over to Zhao Chuan.
His uncle didn't even bring a thousand taels of silver with him when he went out to see a doctor, but he still had to collect money. How ridiculous! Zhao Chuan secretly said.
But Zhao Chuan thought again, asking someone to see a doctor costs one thousand taels of silver. Who would have thought that it would be so expensive? Of course I wouldn't go out with so much money.
Am I a bit dark? But think about it again, it doesn’t cost so much, my costs are not low! Zhao Chuan felt happy again.
For such a rich man, one thousand taels of silver to buy a life is still a very good deal. Zhao Chuan thought about it again and felt balanced again.
Zhao Chuan took out the pill that he had just refined in the herbal plantation, the Phlegm-Resolving and Qingfei Pill, and waved it a few times in front of everyone.
Then Zhao Chuan held up the old man's head, took a phlegm-resolving and clearing lung pill, and patted the old man's chest twice.
The old man took a long breath, and his complexion gradually recovered. Everyone was overjoyed, and the onlookers praised him one after another: "Miracle doctor, elixir." The thin monkey stopped barking impatiently and started to smile happily.
He wanted to buy pills on the spot. Zhao Chuan smiled and said: "I'm sorry, the cost of this pill is too high. It's just a trial production! This is the only one!"
No one believed it, "You said you are a drug dealer, there must be more than one, please come up with a price quickly, don't bother with it!" Some people were very wealthy and took out their banknotes on the spot.
"Well, one thousand taels of silver is just a friendly promotional price. You have seen it before. I am afraid that this old man is really in danger and dies in this drug store. I am doing the shopkeeper a favor, otherwise I can't tell you the lowest price of the goods. You? If this is the case, how will this pharmacy do business in the future?" Zhao Chuan pretended to be helpless and sighed.
A middle-aged man said: "I will pay 1,200 taels for it!"
Others shouted: "I will also pay 1,200 taels to buy it!"
Some even rushed to shout: "I will pay 1,300 taels to buy it! My old man's situation is not optimistic either, so buy one as a spare!"...
Zhao Chuan shook his head helplessly and said: "You don't have even one thousand five hundred taels. You really don't have any. Am I afraid of selling medicine because I am a drug dealer?"
Seeing that Zhao Chuan was really about to leave, someone squeezed over and stuffed a few banknotes into Zhao Chuan's hand, saying that I really wanted one and bought one for my old man as a spare!
Zhao Chuan frowned when he saw this, and then said, "Oh, there is really no stock. Why don't you believe what I say? Otherwise, you can place a deposit first, and I will supply the goods in the next few days! But you have to follow When the drug store manager orders an order, he is the seller, I am just the drug dealer!"
When everyone heard this, they surrounded Wang Decai and asked for orders.
Wang Decai turned to look at Zhao Chuan. When he saw Zhao Chuan smiling and nodding, he walked to the counter and opened the account book to record the money.
After collecting the deposit, everyone left.
