Chapter 30 Entering the city to sell medicine
On the morning of the second day, the four of them simply ate some dry food, and then Liu He picked dozens of various medicinal herbs, almost half of the mature herbs in the two medicinal gardens.
Liu He carefully wrapped the herbs in a few pieces of rags, held the three of them in his arms, and went to the county town together.
It takes more than 20 miles to walk from Huangshui Township to Langtiao County, and part of it is a mountain road. The three of them walked and stopped along the way. Sometimes Liu He would tell stories, and sometimes they would stop to compete in martial arts. It was not until noon that they arrived.
The entrance to Langtiao County.
According to what Liu Qian had explained, the three of them turned around and finally found a large-looking pharmacy in the north of the city called Huai'an Tang.
Liu Qian said that he had sold medicinal herbs in Langtiao County dozens of times before, and had changed to seven or eight pharmacies, but this one was the most reliable.
The three teenagers each held a bag of medicinal herbs in their arms and walked into Huai'an Hall. A polite middle-aged man behind the counter saw them and came up to them.
"I don't know whether you three need to take medicine or..."
This person originally thought that the three of them were here to grab medicine, but when he got closer, he smelled the smell of medicinal herbs, so he stopped talking.
Liu He placed the cloth bag in his hand on a table and cupped his hands towards the middle-aged man.
"Excuse me, may I ask if shopkeeper Xu is in the store?"
This shopkeeper Xu was the shopkeeper of the medicine shop that Liu Qian visited several times to sell medicinal herbs. Before the three of them went out, Liu Qian gave many instructions to find this shopkeeper Xu.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he bowed his hands and said in return, "My surname is Xu, and I am the shopkeeper of this medicine shop."
Liu He was overjoyed. Seeing that this man was gentle and polite, and indeed similar to what his father said, he felt relieved and quickly identified himself and explained his purpose.
Shopkeeper Xu looked happy, glanced at the cloth bag in the hands of the three people, and quickly led the three people to the backyard of the drug store to avoid crowds of people, and then opened the cloth bag.
"Hiss... the quantity you brought this time is really large. I have been a medicine shop owner for many years, and I have rarely received so many medicinal materials at one time."
However, people are wise, and of course he knows that there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, otherwise it will only arouse the suspicion of the guests.
Shopkeeper Xu took many medicinal herbs in his hand one by one and looked, smelled or tasted them.
"Danggui, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, Chuanxiong..."
After a full two-quarters of an hour, Shopkeeper Xu finished tasting all the dishes.
"Haha, yes, yes, these seventeen kinds of medicinal materials are the same as those your father brought before. They are of excellent quality, and the types and quantities this time are several times more than what your father has brought for sale every time. He has been selling them for several months
Since I'm not here, I was worried that you might have found another pharmacy. It's rare to find a source of high-quality medicinal herbs like yours."
The three of them were very happy after hearing what Shopkeeper Xu said, secretly saying that they had indeed found the wrong person.
"I dare to ask Shopkeeper Xu, how much are these herbs worth in total?"
This is the issue that Liu He and others are most concerned about. No matter how beautiful the words are, it is useless if they don’t make any money.
Shopkeeper Xu took out his calculation plan and spent a long time on it.
"According to the price that my father and I set before, the total cost of these herbs should be 94,700 yuan. However, this year there are more robbers than in previous years, there are more sick and injured, and the price of herbs has increased. Even if you give me 100,000 yuan, I don't know.
What do you three think?"
Liu He was still very satisfied with the price, not to mention that shopkeeper Xu took the initiative to inform them about the increase in the price of medicinal herbs, which showed that he was an honest person and could be trusted, so he agreed immediately.
Shopkeeper Xu saw that Liu He was so happy, and the transaction amount this time was not small, so he thought highly of Liu He.
"But one hundred thousand dollars is really not a small amount, and the shop can't collect it all at the moment. So, I'll send someone to report to the boss, and order people to get coins from another branch in the city, and two medical clinics.
Qi. Please trouble the three of you to stay here later. I will order someone to bring some fruits to entertain the guests."
Liu He quickly stood up and thanked him.
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Xu, I'll just wait here."
After shopkeeper Xu left, a store clerk soon came up with some fruit plates.
Zhu Ye came to the county town many times, and Liu He had a lot of experience in his previous life. Only Zhang Yong looked around, picked up the fruit snacks in the fruit plate, and stared at them for a long time without daring to eat them.
"Um... Young Master, can this food be eaten?"
Before Liu He spoke, Zhu Ye couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey, come on, I'll teach you how to eat!"
After saying that, he picked up a peach from the fruit plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite. It was really tender, juicy, and delicious. Zhang Yong was salivating, so he quickly picked one up and ate it.
"Wow, this food turns out to be so delicious!"
For people like Zhang Yong, who comes from a family that is somewhat unlucky, even having enough to eat is a problem. Fruits and pastries are even more of a luxury. Now that I have tasted the delicious food for the first time, I am so excited that I can't stop.
"Young Master, you should eat too, this food is so delicious!"
"That's right, brother, you're welcome. It's for free anyway. If you don't eat it, you won't get it for free."
The two of them rushed to hand the fruit to Liu He, and Liu He took a few bites of it and found that the ancient fruit, not to mention its small size, tasted much worse than the ones in previous lives.
"I wonder if there will be an atlas on fruit cultivation methods after the system is upgraded. If I can cultivate the same kind of fruit as in my previous life, hey, I can make a fortune just by selling fruits!"
Liu He was thinking about these messy things while eating.
The three of them waited for more than half an hour and ate all the fruit plate and pastries before shopkeeper Xu came back.
Behind Shopkeeper Xu, there were four other clerks. The four of them carried a wooden box together. It looked quite heavy. The four of them turned red from exhaustion. When Liu He and others approached, they quickly put the wooden box on the stone.
At the table, the four waiters were relieved and breathing heavily.
Shopkeeper Xu opened the wooden box and saw a bunch of five-baht coins neatly placed inside.
"It's exactly 100,000 yuan, do you three want to split it?"
Whether it was Zhu Ye, Zhang Yong, or Liu He, it was the first time for the three of them to see so much money. They were all in a daze for a while, and they didn't come back to their senses until shopkeeper Xu reminded them.
"Oh, no, no, no, my father appreciates the reputation of your store, so of course I can trust you. Now that the transaction is over, the three of you will take your leave!"
Then he gave Zhu Ye a look. Zhu Ye understood and picked up the wooden box with both hands.
Shopkeeper Xu was shocked when he saw it.
"Oh, I am blind. I didn't expect the three of them to be such young heroes. This wooden box weighs seven to eight hundred kilograms at least. It is not easy for the four of us to lift it together. I don't think you can lift it alone!"
In fact, Zhu Ye is not easy either. Although his strength is much stronger now than when he was ten years old, it is still quite laborious to lift the seven to eight hundred kilogram box. At this time, he is just holding it up with one breath.
