The old man came out just as he grabbed the herbs. He placed a small red fruit into the herbs. However, this small red fruit made Xiao Chen's eyes narrow. His heart was in turmoil!
This was because he was very familiar with this small fruit. He had just seen it yesterday! This small fruit was the fruit that Ye Xiaoye kept in the fridge! Yesterday, Xiao Chen was a little curious about what it was. Why did Ye Xiaoye put a fruit in the medicine? Today, he found out that it was called the Bitter Fruit!
Tsk tsk, this Ye Xiaoye is really rich. She can even afford such expensive herbs? I wonder what the medicinal soup she brewed is for?
"Grandpa, what kind of medicine is this Bitter Fruit usually used for?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
"I don't use it much. I only use it for some special prescriptions. However, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you either." The old man smiled at Xiao Chen, as if saying, 'You want to know?' You want to know? I won't tell you.
Xiao Chen was a little speechless. He didn't expect this old man to be so vengeful. However, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't expose his secret just because of his curiosity, right?
Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't say anything more. He picked up the wrapped herbs and quickly walked out of the pharmacy.
After Xiao Chen left, Hong Yan turned to look at the old man. "Grandpa Chen, what is this Bitter Fruit? Why have I never heard of it? "
"Miss Yan, because this Bitter Fruit is not very common and the person who bought the medicine doesn't need it, I didn't put it out." The old man actually changed the way he addressed Hong Yan. If Xiao Chen was present, he would be extremely surprised. It turned out that this old man and Hong Yan weren't actually grandfather and granddaughter. The old man's surname was Chen, and Hong Yan's surname was Hong!
"Oh? Then the person who bought it just now … "Hong Yan was a little confused." Grandpa Chen, what is the use of this Bitter Fruit? "
"I'm not sure about the specific use. Perhaps this thing is originally not something that people of my level can come into contact with." Grandpa Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Grandpa Chen, so you were lying to him before?" Hong Yan looked at the old man strangely. Previously, the old man wanted to get information from Xiao Chen, but he didn't expect that Grandpa Chen didn't know about the use of the Bitter Fruit.
"Hehe, I can't say that I'm lying. At least I know a few prescriptions that require bitter fruits. It's just that I don't know the specific uses of these prescriptions!" Grandpa Chen said, "I've seen some of the herbs in the prescription that the young man brought before in other prescriptions. Because I don't know the use of this prescription, I want to ask about it."
"I see." Hong Yan nodded. "Grandpa Chen is really a profiteer!"
"Haha, Miss Yan, in our line of work, profit comes first!" Grandpa Chen laughed.
"Then why did Grandpa Chen give him a discount?" Hong Yan found it a little unbelievable.
"It can be considered an investment," Grandpa Chen said.
Hong Yan nodded as she didn't really understand.
Xiao Chen was carrying a bag of priceless medicine. The pocket on his body was deflated. The remaining two hundred yuan was given by Miss Yan. Xiao Chen could only be frugal with this money. Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to go to the electronics store to buy an electric clay pot for decocting medicine. However, when he saw the price of two hundred and ninety-nine yuan, Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. He didn't have enough money to buy it. He could only go back and discuss with Ye Xiaoye if he could borrow her electric clay pot for himself.
"Elder Heaven Ancestor, isn't the prescription you gave me a bit too expensive?" Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Who knows what the prices are like now? Moreover, I rarely buy things in the secular world, "Elder Heaven Ancestor didn't expect that the medicine he listed would cost so much money. It made Xiao Chen so embarrassed!
"Forget it, it seems that I have to find a way to earn some money. I just bought one set and I'm already broke. There's still a long way to go before I can buy five sets!" Xiao Chen sighed. To be honest, Xiao Chen didn't have any concept of money in the past. But now, a penny really stumped a hero!
It wasn't that Xiao Chen didn't think about borrowing money from Zhu Yingxiong, but Xiao Chen knew that Zhu Yingxiong didn't usually have a lot of pocket money. Although if Xiao Chen asked, Zhu Yingxiong would definitely help Xiao Chen, but Zhu Yingxiong would definitely ask Xiao Chen what he needed the money for. At that time, Xiao Chen didn't want to lie to his good brother, so he could only give up for the time being.
"Xiao Chen, this isn't a problem of five sets. These five sets are only for those who have reached the third level of Qi Refining Stage. There will be more after that, and the medicine will be even rarer, so I'm afraid the price will be even more expensive," Elder Heaven Ancestor said, "The most important thing is whether you can buy them or not!"
"Really?" Xiao Chen was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. It seemed that his road to poverty had just begun!
This made Xiao Chen feel that he should do something. He could borrow money from Zhu Yingxiong once, but he couldn't borrow money endlessly, right? Not to mention that Zhu Yingxiong didn't have that much, even if Zhu Yingxiong didn't ask once, twice, or three times, how could he not ask?
With a depressed face, Xiao Chen walked into the classroom. Before buying the medicine, it took some time, so Xiao Chen almost stepped into the classroom when the class bell rang.
Originally, when Lou Zhenming saw that Xiao Chen didn't come today, he was quite surprised. Then he guessed excitedly, "Did Vicious Wolf kill Xiao Chen first, and then he was killed by someone" courageously "?"
Thinking about it, it was not impossible. As for the fact that Xiao Chen's body was not found, perhaps Vicious Wolf had already disposed of the body, so it was impossible to find it in a short time. But now Xiao Chen appeared in the classroom intact, which made Lou Zhenming's original excitement, suddenly feel like being poured with cold water!
"Damn, this guy is actually fine?" Lou Zhenming murmured with a gloomy face.
"It seems that this guy is lucky. Brother Ming, we can only bear with this matter for now." Skinny Monkey also didn't have any good ideas. After all, he had already announced that the matter of Maangang Sect was over. It was impossible to find trouble with Xiao Chen in a short time.
"Forget it. Let's not study this bumpkin anymore. How's the plan of saving the damsel in distress?" Lou Zhenming asked.
"I've talked to Maangang Sect, and he also said that he will cooperate with us. It's just that the guy is too stupid, and I'm afraid that he will be in a daze. But with my help, there shouldn't be any big problem," Skinny Monkey said. "The most important problem now is that we don't have a chance!"
"No chance? What chance? "Lou Zhenming was dumbfounded.
"Brother Ming, it's a chance to rob. Cheng Mengying goes to and from school with Jin Beibei every day, and she's driving. How can we rob her? If we try to stop a car, Jin Beibei, that tigress, might really run us over! "Skinny Monkey didn't dare to stop Jin Beibei's car. He hadn't lived long enough!
Lou Zhenming nodded. He didn't blame Skinny Monkey for being timid, but Jin Beibei really dared to do that! If she died, then so be it. She couldn't even find a place to reason with her! The robber died because of a car crash, and you still want to reason with her? If you go to the Jin family, not only will you be admitting that the robber was hired by Lou Zhenming, but Old Master Jin might not be reasonable, either. With Old Master Jin's personality, even if he hacked Lou Zhenming to death, his death would be in vain!
"Let's find a chance. Don't be hasty." Lou Zhenming pondered for a moment and said, "I don't believe that Jin Beibei will have a chance if she follows Cheng Mengying every day! Ask Maangang Sect to be ready. She will be here whenever I call her. "
"Okay, Brother Ming." Skinny Monkey nodded.
When Cheng Mengying saw that Xiao Chen walked into the classroom very late again, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes. Where did this guy go this time? Did he go to find Tang Tang again? But Tang Tang had been here for a long time. That was impossible.
"Cousin Mengying, are you thinking of my brother-in-law?" Jin Beibei asked while eating a lollipop.
"Yeah, why do you think he came so late?" Cheng Mengying said subconsciously, but after saying it, she quickly changed her words. "Who would miss him? Come or not! "
"Sister Mengying, you don't mean what you say!" Jin Beibei said with a smile, "Don't hit me. I understand."
Cheng Mengying raised her hand and put it down helplessly. She glared at Jin Beibei and said, "Eat your lollipop!"
"Why did he come so late?" Tang Tang was also curious. It was impossible for Xiao Chen to get up late. Cheng Mengying came earlier than her. It was impossible for Xiao Chen not to get up.
"I walked here," Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Walked here? Are you serious? You don't have money? " Tang Tang immediately figured out the reason. "You can't be so poor just because you treated us to a buffet yesterday, can you? You don't even have money to take the bus? "
"It's not that bad. I do have money, but I just want to save some money." Xiao Chen said, "By the way, Tang Tang, do you have any way to make money?"
"You want to make money?" Tang Tang was slightly stunned. She did not expect Xiao Chen to be short of money so soon. But after thinking for a while, she said in a low voice, "You don't need much money for three meals a day, do you? You'd better stop working and focus on your studies. A young master like you is not the kind to suffer. I can take care of breakfast and lunch for you. You can't starve yourself for dinner with Cheng Mengying, can you? "
Xiao Chen took out the medicine bag from his pocket and waved it in front of Tang Tang. He told a white lie, "I've been weak since I was a child and can't practice internal force. You know that, don't you? I have to take a lot of medicine every month, and this is a big start. If I don't make money, I'm afraid I can't afford it at all. "
Tang Tang suddenly realized that Xiao Chen was weak and sick since he was a child was not a secret, so she was not surprised. "I see. You don't need much money to buy medicine, do you? A thousand yuan should be enough, right? I gritted my teeth and saved a little money, and then I came out … "
Although Tang Tang said that she didn't care, she was calculating in her heart. From tomorrow on, she had to get up earlier and prepare more ingredients for soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks. Otherwise, she wouldn't have much money left after deducting the rent and expenses. Xiao Chen's medical fee of 1,000 yuan really put her in a tight spot.
