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."
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.
