twenty-seven herbs

Meng Shuai was full of anger and said, "Where is my luck?"

The toad said, "Go in and take a look. I have never seen such a thing."

Meng Shuai sank into the black soil half-believingly, but he saw that the black fog had not dissipated. But he didn't know if it was his illusion, but the black soil leaked seemed to have a larger range. The world tree still grabbed the body and stood in the center.

It seems a little wrong...

Meng Shuai felt a difference, so he looked around carefully, and finally set his sight on the world tree-

"Isn't it a little darker?"

The toad was stunned and stared at it, "It's a little deeper, but this is not the point. Look down!"

Meng Shuai looked down and was suddenly shocked. He hadn't studied the world tree carefully, but he saw that another tender seedling grew under the ground of the Black Soil World!

The tender seedlings seem to be also saplings. Compared with the tall world tree, it looks like a drop of water beside the sea, but just this drop of water announces the second vitality of the black soil world.

Miracle, really a miracle!

Meng Shuai pointed at Ye Zi and said, "What's going on?"

The toad said, "Your secret method of opening the spiritual orifice seems to be very powerful. It forced a stream of medicine into the black soil world and brought out some wood spiritual energy. The world tree has undergone some changes and a tender seedling grows."

Meng Shuai said: "What's the use of it?"

The toad said, "I don't know."

Meng Shuai said in surprise: "Don't know?"

The toad said, "This world tree is much stupider than me and can't speak now. How could I know what it has become? The effects I used to be. But I can smell some special smells. According to my opinion, this leaf specifically corresponds to herbs. Unfortunately, the golden tiger grass you ate was chewed and turned into gas before it came in. Otherwise, there would be no need to worry about experimenting. Do you have any ready-made herbs? Try it."

Meng Shuai pondered for a moment and said, "This is difficult."

There were herbs, and Shui Sigui planted two or three pots in the backyard. But they were all brought back by him personally. With his eyes, they must be not ordinary things, and he dare not ruin them randomly.

After thinking about it, it’s not too late now. The sun has just set, so why not buy some herbs for experiments.

When he walked out the door, he first tried the big tree outside the door.

As soon as my mind moved, the curled grass leaf slowly stretched out, like a green palm, picking a leaf from the tree and retracting it back to the black soil world, and bringing the leaf into the world.

How to receive this young seedling?

As soon as my mind moved, the leaves of the tender seedlings suddenly stretched out, and rolled the leaves next to them like a tongue.

Meng Shuai watched the grass leaves wrap around the leaves, but when they opened again, there was no trace of the leaves, only a slight wisp of green air that was scattered in the air.

The toad said, "It doesn't say it tastes good."

Meng Shuai said: "How do you know?"

The toad said, "I have a tacit understanding with it... Actually, it smelled it. It emitted an unhappy smell. It seemed that it was not eating well just now. Can't you find something good to feed it? For example, what is the first-grade second-grade, or some golden and jade herbs, the more valuable it is, the better it is, it doesn't pick on."

Meng Shuai said: "It's easy to say, I'll pick it if it doesn't pick it. Where can I get it for you?"

The toad said, "Buy it with the money. There is a pharmacy on the street. Don't be stingy. You have a mountain of gold and silver. Can you buy this piece of grass? It's shameful to hesitate about things outside of your body and waste things."

Meng Shuai said: "Stop talking nonsense, feelings are not your money."

Shui Sigui robbed 1,000 taels of gold at the beginning, and the money was really huge. But Meng Shuai didn't take the money. After all, the money was not his and he was unwilling to use it at will. However, he knew where the money was placed.

After hesitating for a moment, Meng Shuai took out five taels of gold. The toad shouted beside him, "Get more, it's not your money anyway." Meng Shuai told him to shut up, and finally took another ten taels of gold and left the door.

Shatuokou is a big city, with a lot of goods from the south to the north, and there are several good pharmacies.

Meng Shuai thought that the bigger the store, the better the medicinal materials sold. After asking people, the best pharmacies are all in the west of the city.

After passing through the west of the city, I saw the most prosperous street in front of me, and I heard someone shouting next to me: "Yes, it's just ten cents, just take it and leave."

Meng Shuai was stunned and saw a large shed on the street next to him. There was a table in front of the shed and surrounded by people. From time to time, someone squeezed in, and soon came out, and everyone took a string of copper coins worth ten cents apart.

He was curious and squeezed into it. He was small and light and easily squeezed in.

I saw a silk strip on the table, with paper, pen, ink and inkstone. Someone was lying down and writing his name on the silk strip. Two other big men were holding two large baskets, filled with copper coins.

When Meng Shuai saw this situation, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked the person next to him: "What kind of business is this?"

I heard one of the men say, "Write a name, write a name. The local parents, Tang Qingtian, benefited the people for ten years, and now he is promoted. The local people send umbrellas to see them off. Any villagers in Shatuokou sign the silk cloth will cost ten cents per person. Don't miss it when you pass by. Write a name for ten cents, and write it now, and you will never be deceived."

Meng Shuai was both funny and surprised and said, "Write a name of ten cents, how much do I send a 15-word praise?"

The big man ignored it, Meng Shuai thought to himself: I just wrote one randomly, flies are also meat. I wrote "Zhang Ermazi" casually and took the money out.

He squeezed out with money and accidentally bumped into someone. Meng Shuai apologized and walked out again.

I heard someone say behind me: "What kind of world is this? Even the little doll is used to make up for the numbers. Tang Jili has been managing Shatuokou for so many years, and in addition to adding taxes, he is colluding with gangs and smuggling kickbacks. What kind of kindness do you have to enjoy the umbrella of the people?"

I heard an old man say, "Shut up, I'll write a name."

The man just now said anxiously: "Uncle Second, why are you joining in this fun? Don't you also say that he is unscrupulous. He wants to get 30% of our hard-earned money, the gang he colludes with should 30% of them, and the gangsters should 10% of them, and we can't make a profit in 30% of them. Can such a dog official still give him a umbrella for the people? Uncle Second, why are you so much for ten cents?"

I heard the second uncle say, "Not for anything else, just for me. No matter how bad Liangzhou is, it is the Taiping land, and there are no soldiers and thieves. No matter how bad Lord Tang is, he didn't let me die of being trampled to death by iron hooves, nor did I starve to death. What else do I want? You, a baby, have not gone through the days when you fled, and don't understand the benefits here."

Finally, the old man sighed quietly, "I don't know who the next prefect is. I don't ask for a good official who loves the people as much as my son. As long as I am not Master Qiu Ba, I will burn the war and will be Amitabha."

Meng Shuai left the chaos and found a large pharmacy shop closest to him, called "Guo Ji Pharmacy".

Looking at the signboard, Meng Shuai said intimately: It’s the Guo family again, is it the Guo family? I didn’t expect that they even did the business of the pharmacy shop.

At the seven main entrances of Guoji Pharmacy, there were a mahogany medicine cabinet with water inside. Dozens of guys stood on the cabinet and greeted the people with a smile. Meng Shuai walked over and said, "My man, buy medicine."

The guy was stunned. Usually when he came to the pharmacy, he had to tell me what medicine to buy and what amount he was doing. How could he be so angry that he said he wanted to buy medicine? But seeing Meng Shuai's age, he was relieved. This must be the first time a child came out to buy medicine. He didn't know anything. He smiled and said, "You little guest, what medicine should I buy? Are you sick? Do you have any prescriptions? I'll show you."

Meng Shuai also knew in his heart that he had not been aimless and bought it when he came over, and said immediately: "I don't have any prescriptions, I want to buy it..."

At this moment, a man dressed in a servant came in and said, "My man, I will get another ten pairs of Qi-enhancing pills I caught last time. We are working hard for our young master to practice martial arts. The lady said that we should make a big replenishment."

A friend immediately came up and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, please help me. The newly arrived Yangyuan Dan will be of top quality. If this post continues, the young master will definitely go further." While saying that, he welcomed the person upstairs.

Meng Shuai watched the man go upstairs, turned around and said, "Is there any medicine to practice martial arts to nourish the body?"

He certainly knew that practicing martial arts can promote his cultivation, but he didn't expect that it would be sold in public pharmacies. He also said that it was a high-end, fashionable and mysterious pill that could only be seen at auction.

The guy smiled and said, "Of course there are no other pharmacies, but what about our Guo Ji? There are all kinds of herbs taken raw, elixirs used inside and outside, medicinal baths soaked in water, qi cultivation, nourishing blood and qi, and even assisting in practicing qigong. And it has quality and quantity. Even other services, there are also..."

Meng Shuaiqi said: "What other services?"

The guy said, "We Guo Ji, a guest official from Guojiabao came to take charge of the old man. He is a miraculous doctor and has great magical powers. You can use acupuncture to clear the tendons and collaterals for young warriors, remove impurities, and have the effect of cutting bones and marrow cleansing and reincarnation. Should you try it? One thousand taels of silver once, which means lower-level qualifications. Do you have to keep your martial arts progress within a month, and your martial arts progress will be as good as the best."

Meng Shuai was shocked and said to himself: One thousand taels of silver cost a month? Not to mention whether it is useful or not, it is useful. It costs one thousand taels a month. How rich people can afford it?

Unless it is the young master and lady of Guojiabao?

It seems that in addition to the world tree, this world is not without a way to break through the shackles of qualifications, but it is a game for truly rich people.

To eliminate distracting thoughts, Meng Shuai said: "Don't want that, show me the herbs."

The guy laughed in his heart - this is the customer coming to the door.

It is the best thing for children who don’t know the market and are dedicated to practicing martial arts. Of course, it would be even better if there is a parent who hopes that his son will succeed. Although the child is easy to cheat, he has no money after all.

The guy thought about Meng Shuai’s value from his clothes, and after a brief evaluation, he took out a wooden box from the back and said, "It is important to buy tonics for martial arts practice. You should not just seek expensive things. For example, the Yangyuan Pill just now has good effect, but is it cost-effective... How about this? Xueqi Pills. It is my unique secret recipe for Guo Ji. It has miraculous effects on nourishing blood and qi, strengthening muscles and bones. If you take one, the speed of martial arts practice will increase by 10% within seven days, and it is only 10 taels of silver."

When Meng Shuai saw that it was a finished pill, he shook his head. The toad also said in his ear: "It smells so bad that it doesn't have any medicinal fragrance. This thing is not a poison, at least it is a laxative."

Meng Shuai said directly: "I want herbs, not finished elixirs."

The guy was stunned and a little disliked. Logically speaking, the cost of elixirs should be above herbs, but the truth is not the case, because there is no saying of elixir in this kind of medicine shop. The so-called pills are just to mix various herbs into paste and roll them into pills. Except for the formula, other skills are not valuable. Moreover, the main medicines that work in these pills are actually very small, and they are mixed with valuable materials such as licorice, mint, brown sugar and even flour. It is not uncommon to make ten pounds of pills per pound, so selling pills is much more profitable than selling herbs. The guy would rather sell pills than taking herbs.

But Guo Ji Pharmacy also does herbal business after all, so he can't push the customer out and said secretly: If you want to buy herbal medicine, I see how much money you have. Every child doesn't know the market conditions, so he dares to speak?

He immediately took out a box from the cabinet, uncovered the lid, and exposed a ginseng, and said, "Grass ginseng, six taels of silver."

Meng Shuai said, "How much is this? Six taels of silver?" Then the toad muttered, "No, it tastes like dead wood, it must be decayed and cannot be used. Not to mention the world tree, I won't even eat it."

The guy said, "What about ginseng? Seven liang is ginseng, and eight liang is treasure. Ginseng under seven liang is all one liang of silver and one liang of ginseng. If it is eight liang, it is one liang of gold and one liang of ginseng."

Meng Shuai calculated that he had more than ten taels of gold, and now he was one pound and sixteen taels, so... he said: "Give me one pound."

The guy almost lay down and said, "Boy, don't talk nonsense. Do you know what the price of a pound of ginseng? A pound of ginseng, good guy, where were you a pound of steamed buns at that time?"

Meng Shuai said: "You said one or two gold and one or two ginseng?"

The guy was angry and funny, that is, Meng Shuai was too young and didn't seem to make trouble on purpose, so he curled his lips and said, "Dog, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Ginseng is less than seven taels, and they are called grass ginseng, but not graded. When it reaches eight taels, it is called ginseng, and it is ninth grade. After ten taels, it is called jade ginseng, which becomes sixth grade herb. When it reaches one pound, it is called ginseng essence and third grade herb. Hehe, it is all treasures collected in the palace. In the entire Shatuokou, there is a jade ginseng in the restaurant in Guoji, which is not yet here, and it is sealed in Guojiabao. If you want to buy it, you can take it back with a thousand taels of gold."

Meng Shuai then had a concept, and suddenly had a thought - 1,000 taels of gold for the sixth grade herb, and how much does the gold-coated tiger grass he used up would cost?

What about the two remaining herbs in the backyard?

Maybe he has a mountain of gold without knowing it.

Meng Shuai said: "Twenty taels of gold, what grade of herbs can I buy? No matter what kind of variety I have, ginseng, and other ones are fine. As long as the grade is high, even if it is dog tail grass?"

He had a premonition that his world tree might only choose grades, not utility.

The guy took out Meng Shuai's foundation and said to himself: He is also a rich man. He said: "Twenty taels of gold, you can buy some licorice..."

I heard someone say behind me: "Seventh grade."
