Chapter 1086 393 Medicinal Materials (Five More)

A few days later, early in the morning, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei rode in an ordinary blue-penned carriage to Lin Jingchen's house and picked up Han Qixia.

"Sister Yue, Sister Fei," Han Qixia said with a smile as soon as she got on the carriage, "How about we just go to the small market outside the city today? If Sister Fei wants to make herbal tea, she must need a lot of medicinal materials. That small market has medicinal materials. Basically, they are sold directly by medicinal farmers. Although they have not been processed, it takes a little more work, but the price will be much cheaper if there is no medicinal material dealer in the middle. Since I want to do a good deed, let me do my best to make it. Leave all the medicinal materials to me." She talked eloquently, her brows and eyes were much more confident than before, and even her smile looked a lot brighter, as if the haze of the past had been swept away.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei couldn't help but glance at each other, and sighed again: Han Qixia is really different!

The carriage drove out of Lin's house again. The coachman had lived in Luoyue City for decades, and just listening to Han Qixia's casual mention, he knew where they wanted.

The carriage went out from the west city gate and went all the way to the new south. After two or three miles, you could see a continuous mountain range not far away. The greenery was thick, and you could hear the crisp birdsong from time to time. It makes people feel a lot lighter. There were green trees nearby, and the temperature dropped a lot.

Han Qixia lifted the curtain of the car window to look outside, pointed to the front with a smile, and said, "Sister Yue, Sister Fei, there is that small market in front, this market will end at about noon, we must hurry up. Just do it."

During the conversation, the carriage gradually slowed down, and finally stopped under a thick old tree on the side of the trail.

Baihui and Queer got off the carriage first, and then helped their masters to get out of the carriage one by one.

This small market is much simpler than the ordinary market in the city, that is, a group of medicinal farmers set up stalls under the shade of trees to sell things. According to Han Qixia's introduction, at first, the medicinal farmers who came back from the mountains to collect the medicinal materials sold the medicinal materials on the spot. Slowly, they became famous in the Luoyue City area. Occasionally some medicinal farmers who grow medicinal medicinal materials also come here to set up stalls, and there are sellers. It will attract buyers, so many drug dealers will come here from time to time to collect medicinal materials.

As Han Qixia spoke, they walked forward. Nangong Yue casually glanced around for half a circle, and saw a somewhat familiar medicinal herb. She stretched out her hand to Baihui, and Baihui immediately gave Nangong Yue a book, which was the "Nanjiang Materia Medica" that she and Xiao Fei had copied by hand.

Nangong Yue also guessed that when she came here today, she should come across some unique medicinal materials in southern Xinjiang, so she brought this book of "Nanjiang Materia Medica", intending to take this opportunity to recognize the real thing.

Next, Nangongyue and Han Qixia got busy. It was the first time for Nangongyue to come to this market, but Han Qixia had been here many times. The medicinal herbs in "Xiang Materia Medica" went back, and some Lin Jingchen had already tried the medicinal properties, so she was chatting with Nangong Yue endlessly...

After buying several kinds of medicinal materials at several stalls in a row, the medicine basket brought by Baihui was half filled. Nangong Yue is almost reluctant to think about Shu. This southern Xinjiang is indeed a good place. Its climate is destined to have a variety of plants here. Nearly a third of the herbs were ones she hadn't seen before.

Maybe……

Nangong Yue rubbed her fingers thoughtfully, thinking: Since there are so many novel medicinal materials in the southern border, maybe she can try to improve the herbal tea recipe. If it is not reduced, it is also a matter of benefit to the people.

At this time, Han Qixia pointed to a booth in front and said, "Sister Yue, Sister Fei, Huoxiang is being sold there, let's go and have a look."

Whether it’s Xiao Fei’s herbal tea or Lin Jingchen’s summer-relieving pills, Huoxiang is indispensable.

Seeing that there are several large bags of Agaricus on the pharmacist's booth, it should be enough for them.

The three girls hurriedly walked over there, only to see a fat white pharmacist wearing a brocade robe standing in front of the booth, arrogantly saying to the pharmacist, "Five taels of silver are quite a lot. In less than May, if you sell Huoxiang at this time, I will only accept it!"

The medicine farmer said sweating profusely: "Master, if my family is not in a hurry to use the money, I would not be willing to sell it at this time. Five taels of silver to buy my two hundred catties of Huoxiang, is that too little? It's not enough for me. It's been a hard year!"

"Five taels is a lot!" The pharmacist said in disapproval, "I took your Huoxiang, and after processing it, I will keep it in the warehouse for a few months, and it will take up space in my warehouse! Accidentally rained and leaked the house, destroying the medicinal materials, that's all mine, can I still come to you to ask for the loss?!"

The pharmacist said it righteously, and the pharmacist showed hesitation. He knew that the pharmacist exaggerated a bit, but it was not unreasonable. The herb Huoxiang is not difficult to grow, and the price is not high. And the price is relatively high when it is hot. One year, a cold outbreak broke out in southern Xinjiang, and the price of Huoxiang rose by 20 times, and the supply was still in short supply. Whether it was a pesticide farmer or a drug dealer, they made a lot of money.

But like this season, the price of Huoxiang cannot go up.

The more the farmers think about it, the more they have no masters. They naturally depend on this for a year's livelihood. Once they are sold at a low price, how will they live in the next year? And the family was in a hurry to use the money... This medicine has already been picked, and it will not be stored for a few days if it is not sold...

Seeing the expression on the medicine farmer's face, the medicine merchant was secretly proud, and planned to give the other side a trial pressure: "Little brother, why don't you think about it again, I'll go for a walk first, and when I come back, you must give me a reply. , I'm in a hurry to go back to the city."

The pharmacist stopped talking, his mouth moved and moved, and the pharmacist turned and walked away triumphantly, thinking: Most of this business is done.

Nangongyue and Han Qixia have also been listening for a while in the back. Han Qixia has come to Luoyue City these days and has a general understanding of the prices of some common medicinal materials here. The price given by this pharmacist is really low, which is quite a bit of a robbery!

Seeing the pharmacist leave, the three of Nangong Yue stepped forward, and Han Qixia took the initiative to ask the pharmacist, "This uncle, I don't know how you sell Huoxiang?"

Although some customers came to the door, the druggist could not be relieved. It's just a few little girls here, how much Huoxiang can he buy!

"I don't know how much the girl wants to buy?" asked the medicine farmer Nanne.

The pharmacist who had only walked away a few steps was a little nervous at first, but he soon thought about it with the pharmacist.

"We want all of you Huoxiang." Han Qixia said with a smile.

Nangong Yue followed the interface and said, "Uncle, how many Huoxiang do you have at home?"

The medicine farmer was a little dumbfounded, he blinked in disbelief, and stammered: "All these Huoxiang... girls want? These cost seven taels of silver..." He looked at the three of Nangong Yue with some trepidation, afraid that he would give them to them. scared away.

The pharmacist also stopped, thinking: No way? The cooked duck is about to fly?

The reason why the pharmacist came to collect Huoxiang is because the weather this year is unusually hot. In June and July, the price of Huoxiang is likely to have a lot of room to rise. At that time, he can wait for the price and make a lot of money. a sum.

Nangong Yue lowered her voice and whispered in Xiao Fei's ear, Xiao Fei nodded, and then said boldly, "Uncle, we will give you eight taels of silver for you Huoxiang, and we will charge you how much you have left!"

He can't hear it wrong, can he? ! The pharmacist looked happy, but he didn't expect that the pie suddenly fell from the sky, and the pharmacist was so angry that he almost yelled at him, but when he was negotiating the price with the pharmacist, these girls ran over halfway to raise it. price, that is, they are immoral, but they all walked away...

The pharmacist rolled his eyes, thought of something, and went over "kindly" and said: "Several girls, please forgive me for a few words, what are you doing with so much fresh patchouli? This patchouli needs to be first. The effect of the medicine can be fully exerted after it has been processed. This processing is not an ordinary sun-dried slice. First, the stems and leaves must be processed separately, and then the sun and the night will be stuffy, and repeated until they dry... I'm just talking roughly. , In fact, every step is very particular. If girls need Huoxiang, they should go to the pharmacy to buy concocted ones."

Xiao Fei didn't understand the matter of these concocted medicinal materials at first, but he listened with gusto and thought it was quite interesting.

Seeing Xiao Fei's expression, the medicine farmer knew that she didn't know anything, he hesitated, and said, "Girl, this uncle is right, these Huoxiang need to be processed before they can be used..." Although it is a pity that he lost this business , but you can't fool other people's little girls.

This medicinal farmer is an honest person. Nangong Yue and Han Qixia glanced at each other, and Han Qixia said, "Remove the residual roots and impurities, separate the stems and leaves, and sieve the leaves and put them separately; the stems are washed, moistened thoroughly, and cut into sections. , the sun and the night are dull, repeated until dry, and then mixed with the leaves."

The pharmacist didn't know why, but the pharmacist looked surprised, looking up and down at Han Qixia, who was wearing a blue dress: "So the girl is also knowledgeable, could it be..." The pharmacist thought of something, could it be which pharmacy this girl is from? The little lady, they are also hoarding this Huoxiang?

Han Qixia pursed her lips and smiled, calmly.

The pharmacist's face changed, this great business opportunity should not be robbed by others. The pharmacist could no longer follow any principles, and said to the pharmacist, "I'll give you nine taels, and you give me all the fenugreek! I'll take all of your family too." He remembered that the little girl just now proposed the same I was busy adding another one, "Next year, I will also accept your Huoxiang! How is it?! Our Lijia pharmacy is the second largest pharmacy in Luoyue City!"

The drug dealer proudly held his chest out, believing that the conditions he put forward must be very attractive to the drug farmer. As long as the farmer is not stupid, he should agree to his conditions.

Who would have thought that the next sentence of the pharmacist made him dumbfounded——

"No!" The pharmaceutical farmer shook his head, "This business is about integrity!"

The medicine farmer looked at Han Qixia solemnly and said, "Girl, since you are knowledgeable, I am relieved. Since I promised you, of course I will sell all of my medicinal materials to you."

The pharmacist turned blue with anger, and said to the pharmacist with a loud voice, "Hey! Are you stupid? It's okay to go against Yinzi!" Then, he pointed at Han Qixia and the others' noses angrily, "And you guys. , I don't care which pharmacy you are from, if you are against my pharmacy today, don't even think about having a meeting!"

He shrugged his sleeves and walked away angrily, "It's really bad luck! I actually met someone with a sick brain!"

The pharmacist looked at the back of the pharmacist leaving, with an anxious look on his face: "Girl, am I implicated in you? This Lijia pharmacy is quite powerful in Luoyue City..."

Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei, and Han Qixia looked at each other and smiled, honest people just make people feel soft-hearted, so please help if you can.

Nangong Yue gave Baihui a look, and Baihui stepped forward and gave the farmer two addresses in a low voice. The few sacks of Huoxiang here will be sent to Lin Zhai first, while the rest of his family will be sent to Zhennan The palace...

Baihui put a deposit of 22 taels for the medicine farmer, and continued to visit the small market with the girls.

And the medicine farmer stood in the distance, dumbfounded, and did not regain his senses for a long time. After a while, he pinched his cheek and let out a painful exclamation.

Isn't he dreaming? !

His Huoxiang was actually sold to Zhennan Wangfu? !

In addition to Huoxiang, Nangongyue bought more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, and also found a good-looking Polygonum multiflorum, and returned home with a full load...
