Chapter 28: Deception
Only then did Uncle Jiu notice that Qiu Sheng was followed not only by Zhang Ziyu, but also by a young girl.
Huang Rong wore a white coat skirt with long sleeves and a printed pattern, which was more modern and looked extremely pretty and smart.
Uncle Jiu asked aloud: "Who is this girl?"
"Hello Uncle Jiu, my name is Huang Rong, you can just call me Ronger."
Huang Rong had a well-behaved look on her face, but because of her intelligence, she had already gotten information about Uncle Jiu from Qiu Sheng along the way.
If Huang Rong thought about it, she might even be able to tell Uncle Jiu's birth date and all kinds of dark history from Qiu Sheng's mouth.
Master Maoshan, Zhang Ziyu's uncle, was very protective and strict with his disciples. Zhang Ziyu was also afraid of him.
Isn't this just a matter of protecting yourself? If the stinky fish bullies you in the future, hehehe.
Huang Rong is smart and very courteous to her elders. With such a smile and introduction, Uncle Ninth also showed a kind smile and replied: "Hello."
Uncle Jiu looked at Zhang Ziyu with a questioning look. Zhang Ziyu then introduced: "Her family fell into decline and wandered all the way to Renjia Town. I saw that she looked a little pitiful as a little beggar, so I took her in as a medicine shop. man."
Zhang Ziyu told lies with a serious face, Huang Rong glared at him without any trace, and your family's fortune was in ruins.
The little foot secretly stepped on Zhang Ziyu, but his face remained calm.
Zhang Ziyu didn't bother to look at Huang Rong. The python's inner armor was fully defensive, and such a light kick had no effect at all.
Uncle Jiu narrowed his eyes. The little moves of the two young men could not escape his attention.
Good guy, my nephew is so amazing. He has only been here for less than a month and he has kidnapped such a beautiful girl.
This is a bit like my original style, not bad.
"Come in quickly, Qiu Sheng, why are you so stupid if you don't bring Junior Brother You and Ronger in with you?"
Qiu Sheng:?
The three of them entered Yizhuang, and Uncle Jiu asked Qiu Sheng to pour tea for Zhang Ziyu and Zhang Ziyu.
If only Zhang Ziyu had come here, he would have been sent to the courtyard to start taking the school cultivation test, but how could it be important to help his nephew grasp the future by taking the school cultivation test at the moment?
However, before she sat down, Huang Rong said, "Brother Qiusheng, where is the kitchen? I'll go get these dishes."
"I'll take you there."
Uncle Jiu glared and said, "What are you doing? There is no reason to let guests into the kitchen. This is what I usually teach you?"
Qiu Sheng's face fell down as he continued to take the blame, and muttered: "I didn't ask for it."
Huang Rong came to the rescue and said: "Uncle Jiu, these ingredients are difficult for Brother Qiu Sheng to handle, so I'll do it. Brother Zhang brought me here because he wanted to give you a try on my skills."
As he spoke, Huang Rong picked up the ingredients. Qiu Sheng hurriedly took Huang Rong to the kitchen and hurriedly left the living room.
He saw clearly that Huang Rong was here, and the master would definitely not embarrass Junior Brother Ziyu, so he could only be the one to be scolded.
In the living room, as soon as everyone was gone, only Uncle Jiu and Zhang Ziyu were left staring with big eyes.
"Good boy, let the little girl come over to cook. This is what your master usually teaches you. This is what I usually teach you?"
"I'm not, I don't, it's none of my business."
Zhang Ziyu denied it three times and secretly wrote down in his notebook, "Okay Huang Rong, set a trap for me and your salary will be deducted when you get back."
"Um?"
When Uncle Jiu glared, Zhang Ziyu immediately gave in and said with a slumped face, "Uncle, I was wrong."
"How many oceans did that brat's watch cost? Can it withstand your waste?"
"Not much." Zhang Ziyu shook his head and said, "A thousand oceans."
"Click"
The tea cup in Uncle Jiu's hand slipped from his hand and his eyes widened: "How much?"
"Uncle, don't get too excited about that, it's only a thousand oceans."
Uncle Jiu really wanted to ask what kind of watch could be worth so much money, even a full gold watch, right?
It takes about two or three large yellow croakers to reach an ocean of over a thousand oceans.
A watch cannot be so heavy.
"Prodigal son, even if you have a thousand oceans, you can't spend money like this. Coming to my place is just like coming to my home. What's the use of buying so many things? How long will a thousand oceans be enough for you?"
"Uncle, my money is not money from selling watches, it is money from drug stores selling medicines."
Zhang Ziyu explained again, but Uncle Jiu's face became serious when he heard that Qian Qian was selling medicine.
"You sell medicine very expensively?"
A trace of anger began to appear on Uncle Jiu's face. A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. What is this medicine?
Medicine is a life-saving thing. If all medicinal herbs are sold very expensive, how can poor people survive?
It's okay for my nephew to make money for a living, but he shouldn't take such huge profits and endanger the common people.
When Uncle Jiu was about to persuade him, Zhang Ziyu also noticed that Uncle Jiu's expression was wrong, and secretly thought that he was going to get misunderstood.
"Uncle, don't be angry. My medicinal materials are divided into three grades. Medicines for ordinary ailments are all affordable. If you buy more, you can get discounts. The next grade is health medicines. These are sold to wealthy people, and the charges are naturally not low. The third grade is not for sale at this time.”
After hearing the explanation, Uncle Jiu's expression became much better and he said, "I guess you haven't gone astray yet."
"What kind of medicine are you selling? Bring it to me and take a look."
Uncle Jiu was also curious as to what kind of medicine Zhang Ziyu was selling to earn so much money.
Zhang Ziyu took out three or four small porcelain bottles and placed them on the table.
Uncle Jiu picked up the first medicine bottle and poured the black pills into the palm of his hand.
A faint medicinal fragrance came out, and Uncle Jiu put it to his nose and smelled it.
"Bupleurum, Isatis root, honeysuckle"
Uncle Jiu slowly named several main herbs. He nodded affirmatively and said, "Ziyu, I didn't expect you to be so talented at Danding. It is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat fever. It was refined using the Danding method." The elixir actually retains its essence and is even more effective. It’s not bad.”
As he spoke, Uncle Jiu picked up the second small porcelain bottle and poured out the brown pills. He smelled it as usual and said, "Kudzu root, astragalus root, and coptis root. This is a prescription for treating diarrhea. It is of good quality."
On the third bottle, what came out was a small blue pill.
"Hey, this medicine?"
Zhang Ziyu's expression also tightened, and he became more vigilant. He would see if he could be fooled if he would be beaten later.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"No, uncle, you feel wrong." Zhang Ziyu laughed, and then changed the subject: "Uncle, this is the health pill I refined - Big Python Strengthening Pill."
Uncle Jiu smelled it, then put the pill back into the bottle, shook his head, and said, "I can't see through this pill of yours. Did you use some alchemy tips from practitioners?"
He did not smell the formula like the previous two pills. He could only feel that the potency of this pill was extraordinary, and it was significantly different from the previous two pills.
"Uncle, I use python blood, deer antler, Ganoderma and other medicines to strengthen the body and warm the body. It is between ordinary medicine and elixirs for us practitioners. The effect is naturally not bad. . But there are some side effects that I haven’t solved yet.”
When Uncle Jiu heard this, he immediately wanted to help the younger generation. He said, "What are the side effects of this medicine? Tell me and see if I can help you solve it."
"The medicinal properties are masculine. It mainly warms and replenishes deficiencies in the male body and regulates the body. Therefore, it is inevitable that you will be in a hot and excited state for a period of time after taking it."
Zhang Ziyu's face is not red, his heart is not beating, and he uses Chinese cultural expressions in a serious manner. At first glance, he seems to be a young doctor who is dedicated to the people.
Uncle Jiu looked relaxed after hearing the question, and after thinking for a moment he said: "So that's the problem. Your medicines are all Yang Qi and vitality medicinal materials. They are specially designed to make up for the deficiencies in the human body, so naturally they will have such side effects. However, compared to its ability to warm and replenish the body, the side effects are not worth mentioning. As long as you rinse your body with cold water or do some exercise, you can quickly dissipate the heat and excitement. "
Zhang Ziyu looked serious and nodded: "Uncle's method is what I thought. Most people who take medicine choose to exercise for an hour or two after taking the medicine to relieve the heat."
"How much does this medicine cost for you?"
"The market price is about seventy or eighty oceans a bottle, and demand exceeds supply."
Uncle Jiu was not surprised this time. He thought for a moment and said: "This medicinal material is not bad, and it is made using the Taoist elixir cauldron refining method. The price is not expensive."
He pondered for a while and then said: "So your money comes from the right way, so I won't worry about it. However, since you are practicing, if you have the intention, you can use the money to do more good deeds. Accumulating virtue and doing good will also be beneficial to your progress in practice."
"That's what the uncle said."
Zhang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally fooled. The little blue medicine was indeed warming and tonic for the body, and its effect was also very powerful.
But what people come to buy is not the main function, but the side effects.
If the uncle knew about it, he would probably kill himself on the spot.
Well, fortunately, my uncle is not in the habit of testing medicine on the spot.
"By the way, what is the third-class medicine you are talking about? Is it even more powerful than this Big Python Strengthening Pill?"
