The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 107 Reflections on Pharmacies

Chapter 107 Reflections on Pharmacies

The construction workers around them were equally satisfied.

They also heard what Li Qin said.

This time, when we were renovating Li Qin's house, there were about ten people involved. The cost was 100 yuan, which averaged out to about 10 yuan per person.

This is equivalent to ten days' wages for an average worker.

After Li Qin finished speaking, he took out four large black coins and handed them to Master Sun.

Without any hesitation, after receiving the money, Master Sun carefully counted it to make sure there were no problems, and then immediately wrote a receipt for Li Qin.

Master Sun wasn't saying he didn't trust Li Qin when he counted the money.

It is a necessary process.

One hundred yuan is not a small amount; any problems that arise will be difficult to handle.

To prevent problems from arising, checking the items in person can avoid a lot of trouble.

After glancing at the receipt with his fingerprint on it, Li Qin carefully put it away.

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I need to get back to the steel rolling mill."

After finishing his business, Li Qin bid farewell to Master Sun and the other workers.

His continued presence here offers no benefit other than hindering the construction work.

Master Sun and the others did not try to stop him.

Li Qin returned to the front yard from the back yard and then left the courtyard house directly.

What he didn't know was that as he walked out of the side room, a pair of eyes were fixed on his back.

The owner of these eyes is an old lady with a full head of white hair.

It was the deaf old lady who lived in the main house in the backyard.

Li Qin's side room was separated from the deaf old lady's main room by only one wall. With such a big commotion during the renovation of the side room, the deaf old lady, who wasn't really deaf, could naturally hear it.

Besides, even if the old lady was truly deaf, she could still see Mr. Sun and the other workers coming and going.

The deaf old lady didn't see Li Qin when he came to the backyard.

However, while Li Qin was talking to Master Sun, the old lady overheard a few words, which is why she stood in front of the window.

I just wanted to see who it was.

Unfortunately, she only saw a side profile and a back view.

In addition, she had only met the original owner a few times before, and after transmigrating, Li Qin's mental state had changed a bit due to the fusion with the divine spark.

The deaf old lady didn't recognize Li Qin's identity.

However, she also felt that Li Qin's back looked very familiar.

After leaving the courtyard house, Li Qin didn't know where to go for a while.

He had just come out of the space and didn't want to go back for the time being, nor was he in a hurry to go to the steel rolling mill;

"Never mind, I'll just wander around."

In the end, Li Qin didn't think of any specific goal, so he started wandering around Beijing.

Although he had visited before, it was mainly for the convenience of Apparition; he hadn't actually looked at it.

This time, without a specific destination, he could finally take a real look at Beijing during this period.

Many shops along the street have closed for various reasons, leaving only a few remaining.

However, these examples still show that Beijing was once a very prosperous city.

It will take many years for Beijing to regain its former prosperity.

It wasn't until the reform and opening up that this ancient city regained its powerful vitality.

Suddenly, Li Qin stopped in his tracks.

"Ji Ren Tang!"

Looking at the plaque in front of him, which was full of the marks of time, a strange look flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

"How could I have forgotten about this? It's really so wrong of me."

Li Qin couldn't help but give himself a light slap.

After creating the planting space, he only thought about planting grains, vegetables, fruits, and other things, but never thought about planting Chinese medicinal herbs.

You should know that Chinese medicinal herbs are quite valuable.

Especially those precious medicinal herbs.

For example, ginseng, lingzhi, he shou wu, dendrobium, notoginseng, gastrodia, saffron, snow lotus, cordyceps and asparagus, etc.

These medicinal herbs are especially precious due to their unique medicinal value and rare growing conditions.

The most abundant are ginseng, lingzhi, notoginseng, he shou wu, and snow lotus...

Ginseng;

The king of herbs, it replenishes vital energy, restores pulse and prevents collapse, strengthens the spleen and lungs, generates fluids and quenches thirst, calms the mind and improves intelligence.

Ganoderma lucidum;

Lingzhi has been regarded as a symbol of good fortune, wealth, beauty and longevity since ancient times. It is known as "immortal herb" and "auspicious herb" and has always been a precious Chinese herbal medicine for nourishing and strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation.

Panax notoginseng;

Li Shizhen called it "Jin Bu Huan" (meaning "priceless"), and it has been praised as "the divine herb of the South" and "the king of ginseng".

It has the effect of "eliminating pathogens raw and nourishing the body when cooked";

Taking raw Panax notoginseng can promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and is effective in treating injuries from falls and overexertion; taking cooked Panax notoginseng (raw Panax notoginseng is fried until golden brown in chicken fat or other oils) can nourish blood and strengthen the body.

Modern medicine has used Panax notoginseng to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, blood viscosity, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, improve immunity, and fight fatigue, with good results.

In addition, due to its safety, lack of side effects, and blood-benefiting properties, it is also widely used in the field of health preservation.

Polygonum multiflorum;

Polygonum multiflorum has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing essence and blood, darkening hair, promoting hair growth, and strengthening muscles and bones.

Snow lotus;

It is used to treat snow blindness, toothache, rheumatoid arthritis, impotence, irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, and other ailments.

In India, snow lotus is traditionally used to treat many chronic diseases.

Such conditions include stomach ulcers, hemorrhoids, bronchitis, heart disease, nosebleeds, and snake bites.

There is a very special characteristic of Chinese herbal medicines: the older they are, the higher their value.

Li Qin had mastered the Mad Growth Spell, so if he planted these medicinal herbs, he could force them to grow in a very short time.

At that time, he only needs to cultivate a ginseng that is several hundred years old, and he can easily sell it for several hundred dollars.

Thinking of this, Li Qin couldn't help but show a look of regret.

He won't regret not making money, or losing a lot of money because he was delayed for a few days.

Instead, they regretted not thinking of this legitimate way to make money earlier.

"It's fine if I didn't think of it before, but now that I have, I can't delay any longer."

Once he has successfully cultivated a mature ginseng, Li Qin will claim that he discovered it by chance while hunting in the mountains, and then sell it.

In this way, whether it's decorating a house or buying a job, the money will have a legitimate source.

Thinking of this, Li Qin immediately walked towards Jirentang.

"Sir, are you here to see a doctor or to pick up some medicine?"

As soon as Li Qin entered Jirentang, a young man at the counter greeted him with a smile and asked him a question.

Jirentang is a century-old brand, so it can't just be a simple pharmacy that sells medicine. There are also experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors practicing there.

However, with the implementation of the public-private partnership, Jirentang was no exception.

The situation here is far worse than before.

"Even if I'm not seeing a doctor or getting medicine."

Li Qin glanced around and found that there weren't many people in the store. He then walked straight to the counter and spoke to the salesman.

Upon hearing this, the young man's face immediately showed a look of confusion.

Logically speaking, people come here for only two reasons: to get medicine or to see a doctor. If Li Qin is not one of them, he can't think of any other reason.

In the past, the young man might have even suspected that Li Qin was there to cause trouble.
