Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 18 - Buying Medicinal Herb Seeds (药种采购)
No matter who Jing Yunzhao’s shifu was, their medical skills is definitely not low . Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to write such a prescription . From a brilliant teacher comes a brilliant student . Even if she was a beginner, she will definitely exceed others in the future .
Doctor Gan was interested and agreed to help her . Why would he refuse her?
The medicinal material marketplace of Huaning county was not very big, but they had a lot of things . They had many kinds of seeds and seedlings . The pair of old and young arrived at a slightly remote marketplace after riding the bus for half an hour . A refreshing smell was coming from inside .
The county’s marketplace was located under a bridge and faces the river . In addition to medicinal herbs, they also sold birds and flowers, making the place quite popular .
The old doctor was indeed familiar with the place and people . He walked with her around and showed her the scenery . They never stayed in the same place for long until they reached their destination .
“This place’s owner has been dealing with medicine for many generations and can make medicine himself . But this business isn’t easy to do anymore . Unless you specially ask him to make medicine, he wouldn’t do it . He also released a bunch of employees…this store might look a bit messy, but I promise the things inside are more complete than the other places . ” laughed Gan Songbai .
Jing Yunzhao observed the exterior of the store . Compared to the other stores, this one looked a bit older . The display outside was very neat . The most important thing was that the owner clearly understood the characteristics of plants . The herbs with conflicting smells were separated . He cared more about the properties of the medicine than the appearance of the store .
With just that reason, Jing Yunzhao understood that Doctor Gan’s judgment was not wrong .
“Uncle Gan, what would you like to buy?” The owner welcomed them with a smile .
Jing Yunzhao was surprised . Looking at his understanding of medicine, she thought he would have been an old man . But no one would’ve thought that he was so young . He looked like he was only thirty .
“I brought a little friend . Buying or not is all up to her,” Gan Songbai explained .
The owner became curious after hearing that and looked at Jing Yunzhao . His eyes shined .
He saw a girl with white skin, long black hair, clear forehead . She gave off a very clean and neat feeling . The main thing was that she was a bit too skinny . However, she was good-looking and tall, making her seem like she has quite a temperament .
Jing Yunzhao wasn’t affected by his stare and said, “I would like to have a few common seeds like shechaungzi, kucan, dahuang, nanxing; ones that block wind . My shifu likes to plant these things but doesn’t need a lot . If you can show me the seeds, I can pick them myself . ”
(T/N: Wind (风) is one of the “Six Excesses” or the “Six Pernicious Influences” of Traditional Chinese medicine . I really don’t know how to explain it so I Wikipedia-ed it . )
She couldn’t say that she was planting the seeds herself . Even though the Qiaos lived in a house in a small town, they didn’t even own half of mu of land .
(T/N: Mu (亩) is a unit of area . One mu is equal to 0 . 0667 hectare . )
When Qiao Weimin was younger, he invested in a small factory . He’s a partner . He’s usually free and gets a good amount of money every year but nothing too big .
It was better to have a shifu attracting everyone’s attention than to have herself in the center of the limelight .
If someone were to know of her otherworldly space, she might not? be able to see the sunlight of the next day . The ancestor’s warnings were all reasonable .
The owner’s surname was Liu (陆) . He quickly guided Jing Yunzhao into the store after hearing what she said .
The store had a line of pockets containing seeds of different sizes . Every pocket was labeled with the name of the seeds inside .
At present, it was luckily springtime and the seeds she wanted were mostly seeds sowed during spring . So Jing Yunzhao didn’t have to worry too much .
She picked the seeds with seriousness and looked completely like a person obsessed with medicine . Doctor Gan was appreciating Jing Yunzhao more and more and was full of praise . But such a good girl already had a shifu . Doctor Gan couldn’t help but feel envious .
