Seeing someone coming, the old man instantly raised his head and looked towards the door.
When he saw that it was Shangguan Qingxue, a smile instantly appeared on his face, “Little Xue ah, why are you free to come to my side?”
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue then came to the counter in big strides, directly placing that big medicine box in front of the old man, “Uncle Xue, is this the medicinal herbs that SiYu bought from you?”
The old man looked oddly at Lin SiYu, and then at Zhang Chu, then, he opened the medicine box and took a look at the herbs inside before saying, “That’s right, it was taken from me.”
Shangguan Qingxue instantly twisted her head and glanced at Zhang Chu before saying, “But, this friend of mine said that all the medicines you sell are fake!”
“Nonsense!”The old man was instantly furious, “Who said that this is fake medicine?”
Shangguan Qingxue then looked towards Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, directly stepped forward and spoke, “Old man, I’ve seen a lot of people selling fake medicines, but like you, selling fake medicines, being approached by others, and still being justified, this is really the first time I’ve seen it.”
Xue Wannian instantly said angrily, “Good boy, saying that I’m selling fake medicine? Tell me, which flavour of medicine is incorrect?”
Zhang Chu then sneered, “Which flavour is wrong!”
“You’re here to pick a fight, aren’t you?”The old man’s face was irritated, “If you don’t give me a reason today, you don’t want to leave!”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, casually picked up some Fishy Grass and asked the old man, “Old man let me ask you, what is this?”
“Fishy Grass!”The old man said.
Zhang Chu immediately threw these Fishy Grasses on the ground as he despised, “Bullsh*t Fishy Grass, this is a f*cking vegetable, it’s not medicine at all!”
The old man froze, followed by annoyance, “What did you say?”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, hummed, “Old man, let me ask you, where does Fishy Grass grow?”
The old man said, “It grows in secluded streams, on both sides of spiritual springs.”
Zhang Chu then pointed at these Fishy Grasses at his feet, “What about these? Haven’t you noticed that they are growing, a little too well?”
To be honest, these Fishy Grasses under Zhang Chu’s feet were of excellent quality, growing very thickly, just like leeks, fat and strong.
At this moment, the old man’s face finally changed.
He asked somewhat nervously, “What do you …… you mean?”
“What do you mean?”Zhang Chu had a look of contempt on his face, “Old man, these Fishy Grasses of yours, it’s f*cking grown in a shed!”
“And, if I’m not mistaken, in the process of planting, pesticides were also f*cking used!”
“Is this still a medicinal herb? This is clearly a vegetable!”
With a few words, Zhang Chu instantly rendered the old man speechless.
On the contrary, Shangguan Qingxue was a bit puzzled: “Zhang Chu, as long as it’s Fishy Grass on the line, ah, in the shed, the growth is not better?”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, casually said, “This medicinal herb, is about the Taoist land, only in a specific environment, or even in a specific place, the medicinal herb that grows out, has to be of value.”
“If it is a deep mountain stream side growth of the fish grass, encounter children fever, randomly get a few take, immediately can reduce fever.”
“And like this one that grows in the roc, it doesn’t even work when eaten for food!”
Shangguan Qingxue looked towards Xue Wannian.
At this moment, Xue Wannian’s complexion flushed red for a while, and surprisingly, he was completely unable to refute Zhang Chu.
And Zhang Chu pointed at a flavour of Di Huang: “This thing, I don’t need to tell you the problem, damn real wild Di Huang, can it grow this thick? Damn on chemical fertiliser right!”
“And this flavour of honey-roasted loquat leaves, even sticky hands!”Zhang Chu was directly exasperated and laughed: “Is this even considered a medicinal herb?”
Xue Wannian asked, “Why isn’t this considered a medicinal herb?”
Zhang Chu asked Xue Wannian, “Old man, do you know how to make honey-roasted loquat leaves?”
Xue Wannian’s old face flushed and his attitude became much more modest, “This …… I mainly give medical treatment and prescribe medicines, and I have memorised some prescriptions, as for how the herbs are made, this, I really don’t know too well.”
Zhang Chu immediately chided, “Quack!”
If someone had called him a quack before, the old man would have been anxious.
But now, he knew that he had met a high ranking person and could only suffer, while asking Zhang Chu, “This Honey Baked Loquat Leaf, what’s wrong with it?”
Zhang Chu casually twisted up a small piece and opened his mouth, “This loquat leaf, must be looking for loquats that are three to five years old, moreover, this year, you need to pick the old leaves from the previous year.”
“After the old leaves are picked, the hairs on the back of the loquat leaves need to be brushed clean a little bit first, and also use pig bristles to brush.”
“Most importantly, this stuff needs to be dried naturally.”
“Also, honey-baking is something that requires manoeuvring, using honey with boiling water and frying it over a gentle fire.”
“A honey-baked loquat leaf that can truly be used as a medicinal herb is slightly cool when placed in the hand, not to mention sticky, when that thing is placed in the hand, it’s just like pinching a piece of cool jade.”
Saying that, Zhang Chu threw a trace of loquat leaves to the old man, “Look at your herbs, slimy and f*cking mouldy!”
“This is a loquat leaf picked up from the ground, not even drying, directly throwing a layer of honey water on it?”
“How can you call this a medicinal herb? Tell me, apart from being a pipa leaf, which processing procedure complies with the flow?”
Zhang Chu asked several questions in a row, directly confusing the old man.
Of course, Shangguan Qingxue and Lin SiYu, were even more shocked with their mouths wide open, looking at Zhang Chu’s expression, which was completely unbelievable.
How could they not have thought that a tiny herb would have so much to learn?
Zhang Chu himself also lamented in his heart that the knowledge of these medicinal herbs was truly as vast as the stars, often for one type of medicinal herb, there were eight or nine types of concoctions.
And each of the collection of medicinal herbs, processing procedures, there are very much to pay attention to, a process sloppy, may be the entire medicinal herbs are wasted.
Originally, Zhang Chu thought that Lin SiYu would be able to purchase some herbs at will.
As a result, there wasn’t even a single herb that could be used!
To know that this was still a relatively famous old shop in Jinling, what about other small, not so famous pharmacies? Can you buy real medicinal herbs?
At this moment, Zhang Chu said nonchalantly, “No wonder people say that Chinese medicine is declining, with these herbs in your pharmacy, it’s only strange that you can cure people!”
Hearing these words, Xue Wannian actually slapped himself violently, shedding tears.
“Uncle Xue, what are you doing?”Shangguan Qingxue hurriedly asked.
Xue Wannian, on the other hand, had a pained look on his face, “Shame, shame ah, I …… finally understand why my prescriptions, more and more can’t save people!”
“So, it’s the wrong herbs, it’s the wrong herbs!”
Suddenly, the old man walked out from inside the counter in big strides, came in front of Zhang Chu, and directly bowed heavily a few times.
Zhang Chu was frankly accepting these few bows from him, at the same time, Zhang Chu said, “Old man, what are your plans?”
At this time, Xue Wannian looked bitter: “What else can I plan? Just close down this medicine shop.”
“Ah?”Shangguan Qingxue immediately had a shocked expression, “Uncle Xue, how can you shut it down?”
Xue Wannian, on the other hand, said, “Ai, in fact, I also know that if you want to cure a patient, it’s best to use Taoist medicinal herbs, but where can you find Taoist medicinal herbs in the current medicinal herb market.”
“Even the herbs that can be used are extinct, I’m a Chinese medicine practitioner, is there still a need to exist?”
“Forget it, close down, can’t do any harm.”Xue Wannian’s tone was despondent.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, strongly agreed: “You’re doing the right thing, if there’s no medicinal herbs that can be used, even if you have a prescription, the prescription is still a waste of paper, there’s no need to let people waste their money.”
“Let’s go.”Zhang Chu turned around and greeted Shangguan Qingxue and Lin SiYu as they left.
