How could she not find the herbs she wanted in such a huge market?! It did not make sense.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead and continued to walk deeper into the market. Before long, her attention was attracted by a shop called the Imperial Medicine Shop.
The shop did not look big from the outside. However, the lintel of the door had an antique feel to it. It was the most unique shop on the street.
Huo Yao pushed the door open and walked in. The faint scent of sandalwood wafting in the air entered her nose. A look of surprise finally appeared on her face.
The scent was not suffocating, astringent, or pungent. It was refreshing and elegant. It was clearly different from the ordinary incense on the market.
Huo Yao raised her head and looked around. The shop's display was very simple. The counter in the window was filled with old wooden carvings. The wall behind the counter was filled with small wooden cabinets. Each cabinet had the name of the herb pasted on it. There was also an inner room separated by a bead curtain.
The beaded curtains of the inner room were lifted, and a middle-aged man walked out. He was stunned to see Huo Yao. Then he glanced at the inner room behind him before he turned to close the wooden door. He turned to Huo Yao and said politely, "I'm sorry, but the shop will be closing soon."
Huo Yao could tell that the middle-aged man was trying to chase her away. She did not beat around the bush and asked him directly. "Do you have century-old tortoiseshell, five-flavored essence, white gum fragrance, and dragon bone stone?"
The man was surprised when he heard these herbs.
These herbs were very rare and expensive. All of them had the effect of calming the nerves, helping one sleep, and regulating one's bodily functions.
Moreover, people who knew about pharmacology would not easily try to use them as medicine. If the ratio was not right, the medicine would not be effective and might even cause serious side effects.
Therefore, even though these herbs were rare, very few people bought them.
The young lady in front of him did not look like a professional in medicine. Was she here to buy them for someone else?
The man composed himself. He could tell that Huo Yao was serious about buying herbs, so he said politely, "We have everything except century-old tortoiseshell. But we don't have a lot of them. How much do you need?"
Although Huo Yao was a little disappointed, she had gained something. She said, "300 grams of five-flavored essence, white gum fragrance, and 250 grams of dragon bone stone."
The man nodded. "I do have that much."
After a pause, he picked up the calculator next to him, pressed on it, and said, "The total cost of these medicines is 320,000 yuan."
It was not expensive. Huo Yao took out her phone from her pocket and asked. "Can I use an online bank transfer?"
"Sure." The man walked behind the counter and took out a card with his bank account number printed on it before handing it to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao glanced at it. In less than two minutes, the man's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a transfer of 320,000 yuan. He could not help looking up at Huo Yao in shock.
This little girl just glanced at the bank account he handed over, right?
This memory … isn't it a little too good?
That was a long string of numbers!
Huo Yao frowned when she saw how shocked the boss was. "Boss?"
The man came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'll get the medicine for you now."
"Yes."
Huo Yao put her phone away and watched as the shopkeeper filled the prescription. She asked him. "Do you know where I can buy Indian sandalwood?"
