Chapter 10 Selling Medicine (2)

Doctor Luo nodded and took Zhou Ying’s pulse. “Mental and physical fatigue, malnutrition, and a chilly body.

“You will have to be more careful in the future. Otherwise, it’ll be complicated to get pregnant.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to prescribe two doses of medicine for her to recuperate.” Gu Chengrui said.

“I’ll prescribe her two doses of cold-expelling medicine. As for the rest, it will have to rely on her to rest to heal.”

“Understood.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

After the doctor finished writing the prescription, Gu Chengrui carried the sack over and said, “There are also some wild medicinal herbs here. Please help me take a look.”

“Oh,” Doctor Luo replied, with curiosity. When he saw the sage, which was a type of red sage, his eyes lit up excitedly. “Red sage, a good quality red sage!”

“Ahem.” The apprentice coughed and reminded him.

He was reminding the doctor that he was overly excited. Wouldn’t this clearly tell them that they lacked this medicine?

Gu Chengrui glanced at him, then asked Doctor Luo curiously, “Why? Is this red sage very rare?”

The growing conditions for red sage were not harsh, so it should not be that rare.

At this time, Doctor Luo also realized that he had lost his composure and had even revealed his bottom line. He could only laugh dryly and reply, “The red sage is not hard to come by, but there is a drought in the northern part of the country, so the production is low, and the quality is poor.”

“A drought in the north? Why didn’t I hear about it?”

“It’s not too serious, so it hasn’t spread yet, but the reduction in production is certain.”

“Then what is the price of this red sage?”

“Although your red sage is good, it’s a fresh one, so I can only give you 100 copper coins.” Doctor Luo rubbed his chin and pondered.

Gu Chengrui heard the high price and nodded. “Then, please take a look at the astragalus and licorice,” Wang Yao said.

Doctor Luo opened it and took a look. As the quality wasn’t bad, he directly said, “The price of the astragalus is 20 copper coins per pound, and the price of licorice is only 5 copper coins per pound.”

“Sure, please weigh it.”

“Sure, wait a moment.” After Doctor Luo finished speaking, he went to the back and took a scale, weighing them one by one.

Two pounds of red sage, five pounds of astragalus, and 15 pounds of licorice. In total, they got 375 copper coins. After deducting the 75 copper coins for the medicine money, the two of them had 300 copper coins left.

When Doctor Luo sent them out enthusiastically, he said, “If the two of you have time, you can find more red sages. If the quality is good, I will take them all.”

“Alright, I’ll remember this.” Gu Chengrui cupped his hands in salute and left the medicine shop with Zhou Ying.

Gu Chengrui turned his head when they were outside and said, “Babe, think about what we should buy.”

Zhou Ying pondered and replied, “A pot, rice, salt, and vegetables are just what we need. We’ll think about the rest later.”

“You’re right. Let’s take a look at the rice and noodles first.” Gu Chengrui pointed at the grain store not far away after he finished.

Zhou Ying nodded and followed him.

“What would you like to buy, dear customers?” The shop assistant said politely after letting them in.

“What’s the price of this refined rice?” Gu Chengrui pointed at the rice in the best condition and asked.

“The polished rice is 8 copper coins. The crushed rice and unpolished rice are 6 copper coins.” The shop assistant replied.

“What about white flour?” Zhou Ying asked, pointing at the yellowish-white flour.

“8 copper coins on the polished flour, 5 copper coins on the unrefined ones.” The shop assistant turned his head and said. Then, he saw her walk to the millet section and said, “Both millet and long grain rice are 5 copper coins each, river planted rice is 10 copper coins, and sorghum rice is 3 copper coins.”

After Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui looked at each other, they were both astonished. It seemed that the prices here were not low. No wonder Mrs. Liu had to calculate their food expenses.

“Then give us five pounds of polished rice and two pounds of millet,” Zhou Ying said. “As for the bags, we’ll buy them from the shop.”
