Chapter 1139 At a loss!
"Oh, that's easy. The jade is here, we just need to buy a good quality one. As for the tea, I know a better place. Your father will never be able to stop drinking it after drinking it once." Zhang Ruoling said confidently. Zhang Ruoling didn't know much about other things, but he was very sure about tea.
"In fact, I have already prepared the gift for my mother, but I don't know what to give to my father. I have been looking for some special teas for a while, but I still haven't found any." Ye Xin was a little annoyed, and seemed a little depressed when she mentioned this matter.
"Don't worry, this is actually very easy to do. I know a secret recipe. The tea prepared according to this secret recipe can only be considered tea in the true sense, but the taste is definitely better than any existing tea. If you drink it for a long time, it is also good for your body." Originally, Zhang Ruoling didn't know much about tea, but when he was a child, he always saw Lao Zhong 17 medical martial arts tinkering with some herbs and drinking them in water. Zhang Ruoling also drank it several times during that time. Although the taste is not that strong, it has a unique flavor.
"If that's the case, that would be great. Let's go now. Just tell us where to go and we'll take a taxi there. Mom and Dad should still be waiting for us at home." Ye Xin said anxiously.
I led Ye Xin to stop a taxi on the roadside, and then told the driver to take us to the nearest and largest herbal medicine market. According to the driver, there is no herbal medicine that cannot be found here.
After a lot of wandering, we arrived at the entrance of the medicinal materials market. This is indeed a market. There are crowds of people inside, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining are endless. It seems that the business is very hot.
"Boss, take a look at the medicinal herbs on this list. Do you have them here? If you do, pack ten copies of each item as written on the prescription." Zhang Ruoling took out the list he had written earlier and handed it to the boss.
The boss looked at the prescription carefully, then turned around and discussed it with another clerk in the store and said, "My friend, Zhang Ruoling has all the herbs you want, but the price is quite high. Do you think you should give Zhang Ruoling a deposit first?" said the pharmacy owner with a smile.
But Zhang Ruoling was a little confused when he heard him say that. Was the price very high? Zhang Ruoling remembered that the old Chinese doctor drank the tea he collected from the mountains. He didn't know the exact price, but it didn't matter. After all, Zhang Ruoling could be considered a local tyrant now.
"Then how much do these herbs cost?" Zhang Ruoling asked the boss.
"Little brother, I won't hide it from you. Actually, the other ingredients in your prescription are quite common, except for one very expensive ingredient, which is the 100-year-old ginseng. You know that the price of any medicinal ingredient will basically double after 100 years, especially ginseng. So your prescription will cost about 800,000 yuan."
Zhang Ruoling really didn't expect that the old Chinese doctor was the real rich man. What he drank every day was not water at all, it was gold!
"Okay. The money you mentioned is not a problem. Just pack up the things I want. Use this card. I think it will be enough to pay for what I need." After saying that, Zhang Ruoling handed him a bank card. This card was originally given to Zhang Ruoling by his stepmother Sun Xian. As for how much money is in it, Zhang Ruoling can't say for sure, but he thinks there should be at least one or two hundred thousand.
Not long after, the shop owner came out from the back holding two bags.
"Hey, little guy, this is what you want. It's all in here. You're welcome to come over anytime if you need anything next time. This is your bank card." After saying that, the boss handed the bag containing the herbs and bank card to Zhang Ruoling.
"Thank you, boss. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll definitely trouble you in the future." After exchanging a few polite words with the boss, Zhang Ruoling took Ye Xin out of the pharmacy.
As they walked towards her house, Zhang Ruoling couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It wasn't because he was timid. It was mainly because it was his first time to formally meet her parents, so he felt a little nervous.
After calming down, he walked into the Qiao family with her. This is a courtyard that looks a bit retro. After entering, there are three independently arranged white small second-floor buildings. There is also a larger fifth-floor building at the back. According to Ye Xin, the buildings in the front are for the younger generation of the Qiao family, while the ones at the back are the residence of the Qiao family's old man, the current head of the family, Qiao Jiguo. Usually, all matters of the family are held here. And family meetings are also held here.
Just as we entered the small building, the door happened to be opened. The person who came out looked a little strange to us.
