Seeing that the largest Chinese medicine store in Shanghai did not have the Chinese medicinal materials he wanted, Senen Smith thought that other pharmacies in Shanghai might not have it.

"Young man, do you want to buy medicine?" He could only shake his head and prepare to leave the pharmacy. When he returned to the Taylor Family villa, he saw an uncle about forty years old walking towards him quietly and holding him Lala asked.

"Yes, uncle, what's wrong?" If someone else had introduced him like this, he might have thought that the middle-aged uncle in front of him was a salesman from some drugstore or hospital.

They are often seen wandering at the entrance of hospitals in many cities. They often lure patients to the private clinics they recommend with lower prices and better services. After the private clinics ruthlessly fleece the patients, these people often There will be an income.

Therefore, when faced with this situation, many people simply don't bother to talk to each other. However, when Senen Smith came to Shanghai for the first time and saw how enthusiastic the uncle in front of him was, he had no other ideas and was not afraid of what he was going to do.

"Young man, although the medicines here in Tongrentang are good, I know that some medicines are not available here. I will quietly recommend a pharmacy to you. The medicines there are very complete."

"Really? Where is it? Take me there quickly."Senen Smith was a little disappointed just now, but unexpectedly, this uncle suddenly came out to introduce him.

Even if he didn't see the few rare herbs he was looking for by then, it wouldn't matter. If that drug store actually had one, that would be completely different.

"Young man, come with me. It's not very far from here."Senen Smith followed the uncle. When he walked about a hundred meters, he saw an old-fashioned five-story house. The first floor was There is a big sign hanging in the square that says "Martin Herbal Medicine Shop".

Originally, this location was quite good. Very few vehicles usually passed by, and it wasn't that noisy during the day. However, perhaps because of that, it was discovered that there were very few citizens in this Martin Herbal Medicine Shop.

"Young man, you go in, I won't go in." When Senen Smith stood at the door, he could already smell a lot of familiar Chinese herbal medicines.

"Thank you for the recommendation, uncle."Senen Smith couldn't care what the uncle's purpose was. When he entered the Martin Herbal Medicine Shop, he found that there were no other customers inside.

Except for him who came in now, there was no other customer. However, near the window of the medicine shop, he found a beautiful young girl wearing a classical skirt sitting there reading a book.

Looking at the other party's serious look, he was like a beautiful princess who was fascinated.

"Hello, excuse me."Senen Smith walked over and asked.

"Ah, hello, what's the matter?" When this beautiful girl heard Senen Smith ask, she raised her head and looked at him, her eyes blinked as if she could speak, the look on her face , also as scared as hitting a deer.

"I want to buy some medicinal materials." This was the first time Senen Smith saw a beautiful girl like that.

"Wait a minute, I'll call my grandpa out." The young and beautiful girl hurriedly put down the "Medicine Classic" and walked to the back hall of the counter.

Senen Smith walked around casually and looked around, and found that although this medicinal shop was not as big as Tongrentang's. However, he felt that the medicinal materials here seemed to be better than those over there, because when he smelled those Chinese medicinal materials, he felt they were much purer.

After not waiting long, I saw an old man in his sixties, wearing a Tang suit, and the young and beautiful woman coming out of the back hall.

"Sir, what medicinal materials do you want to buy?"Senen Smith asked with a smile as he looked at the medicinal materials.

Senen Smith was not sure whether there were those rare medicinal materials here, so he could only ask first.

"Boss, I would like to ask if there are any medicinal materials such as bitter nuts and eight-leaf clover here?" When Senen Smith told all the rare medicinal materials, the old man in Tang suit seemed to be thinking. For a moment, at first, Senen Smith thought that this place was the same as Tongrentang, in that there were no medicinal herbs.

"Sir, do you really want to buy those medicinal materials?" Unexpectedly, the other party asked with a smile.

"Not bad, do you have them here?"

"Yes, there is, but the price is a bit expensive."Senen Smith didn't think anything when he heard what the other party said. Since it is a rare medicinal material and is more expensive than wild ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years, the price must be much more expensive. As long as they are available here, Senen Smith doesn't have to worry as much as before.

"Then help me look at this prescription and see how much it costs per dose?"Senen Smith took out the prescription and handed it to the old man in Tang suit. The old man in Tang suit didn't need to wear reading glasses and just took it over and looked at it for a while. , that is to say.

"The medicinal materials above are all available in our Martin Herbal Medicine Shop."

"That's great. I want to buy five doses of complete medicinal materials. I wonder how much it will cost in total?"

The old man in Tang suit took the abacus on the counter and tapped it a dozen times. It crackled and he quickly spoke out a line of numbers.

"Young man, those rare medicinal materials are relatively precious, so together with other medicinal materials, the cheapest cost is 120,000 yuan per dose." If other people heard that a dose of medicinal materials cost 100,000 yuan, they would definitely I cried out in surprise. In fact, although Senen Smith also had a price in mind, he was a little surprised when he heard it was so expensive.

"It's a bit expensive."Senen Smith didn't expect that the money he just received from Param would be gone in a blink of an eye if it was all used to buy medicinal materials.

"Sir, do you still want to buy it? If you still want it, and if you buy five doses, then I can give you a cheaper price, which is only 500,000."

"I'll buy it." The expression of the old man in Tang suit didn't change much. He asked Senen Smith to sit next to him and wait while he went over to pack the medicine.

As for the young girl in the classic skirt, she had already sat back at the window seat and continued to read the book there.

Senen Smith found that this Martin Herbal Medicine Shop and the medicinal material shops outside seemed a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where the strange thing was for the time being.

He didn't wait long. The old man in Tang suit had already brought the five packages of medicinal materials in front of him, opened one dose and said.

"This is the bitter nut, can you confirm?"Senen Smith picked up the bitter nut, which was about the size of a mangosteen, and smelled it. It was just that the bitter nut was different from the mangosteen. This bitter nut was red all over, with a special smell. The smell is completely different too. According to Senen Smith's understanding, this bitter nut fruit was correct and exactly the same as what was mentioned in the records.

"That's right."Senen Smith took out the bank card and handed it to the other party to swipe the card. After paying the money, Senen Smith took the bag and went out of Martin Herbal Medicine Shop.

Of course, he also knew that if he wanted to buy other rare medicinal materials in the future, it would definitely be right to visit this Martin Herbal Medicine Shop.

When he got outside, Senen Smith had nowhere else to go, so he hailed a taxi and headed back towards the Tan Gong Villa area.
