Chapter 24 Frightened and Furious: Inferior Medicinal Materials
But why is that man so kind?
There is no money to eat.
Anyone else send it?
Tong Li could not help but have doubts about his behavior.
"Pei Jiuyin ordered you?"
When the driver heard Tong Li calling the young master by his first name, his heart trembled with fright: "Yes... yes."
Tong Li didn't get in the car immediately. She didn't know if the man had any ulterior motives. She had to be careful because he was trying to be courteous for nothing and was either raping or stealing.
"I can go on my own if you don't need it."
'walk on my own?'
The driver was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with her and stopped her: "Miss Tong, it's a long way out of the city. I'm your exclusive driver. Just tell me where you want to go. If you just walk out like this,
, that would be my dereliction of duty, my job is..."
The driver became more and more distressed as he talked, as if his job would be lost because of her in the next moment.
Tong Li's expression was too calm, and the driver couldn't see what she was thinking, so he began to try his best to sell her misery: "Miss Tong, I have an elder and a child in my family, and I have to work alone to support myself. I really can't lose this job. Please hurry up."
Get on the bus, where do you want to go? Just tell me and I will send you there immediately."
Tong Li stared at him closely. It could be seen from his eyes that he had not lied, but she was a little unsure about Pei Jiuyin's thoughts. This was a free lunch and an exclusive driver. It was not a good idea no matter how he looked at it.
Omen.
Tong Li sighed and nodded slightly. They would resolve their conflicts themselves. There was no need to interfere with other people's work. After all, it was really hard to live without money.
Tong Li got into the car, sat upright, and moved her eyes back and forth, looking at the layout of the car without revealing anything.
The spacious interior design of the car will not make you feel depressed when you sit in it. The soft leather seats are very comfortable to sit in. There is also a light jasmine fragrance floating in the car.
As soon as the driver got into the car, he quickly locked the car, looked at the people behind him through the rearview mirror, and patted his chest with lingering fear: But he finally invited people into the car. He was really afraid that he had not completed what Mr. Pei had told him.
If his job is really no longer guaranteed, then he will be miserable.
The driver smiled and asked, "Miss Tong, where are you going?"
"Go to Yunhui Medicine Hall."
The driver was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Is this Dr. Qu's Yunhui Medicine Hall?"
Who does Tong Li know about Dr. Qu? She only knows that it is a medical clinic: "The one on Shengde Road."
"Okay!" That is to go to Dr. Qu's medicine hall.
The driver drove the car smoothly and whizzed by on the road. Tong Li felt the smooth speed in the car. It must be said that this kind of car is much more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage.
The key is that it's super fast. It usually takes her at least more than an hour to reach places on foot, but sitting in this car, she can get there in less than half an hour.
"Miss Tong is here."
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for her attentively. He took care of everything and really treated Tong Li like a young lady.
Tong Li stepped on the ground: "Okay, you go back first."
The driver bowed slightly to her and said with perfect etiquette: "Okay."
"If you need anything, call me again and I will arrive as soon as possible."
Tong Li did not reply to him, but waved to him and strode into the pharmacy. As soon as she entered and explained her purpose, someone immediately took her to the medicine counter.
Tong Li told them the names of the medicinal materials. The names were reported, but only seven or eight kinds were brought out.
There are three relatively rare medicinal materials that are temporarily out of stock in their store, so you have to wait.
Tong Li had no choice but to collect everything he had here. If he didn't have anything, he could only ask elsewhere.
She waited for about twenty minutes before the medicinal materials she asked for were packaged. Tong Li handed over the money, and the bag was half lighter again.
She walked out of the pharmacy carrying the medicinal materials. She had just walked twenty meters away when an inadvertent sniffing motion made her stop.
The smell of medicine inside was too strong just now, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She went outside and smelled it again. Being familiar with medicinal materials, she quickly realized that something was wrong with the medicine this time.
Tong Li found an open space and opened one of the packets of medicine for inspection. Various medicinal materials were mixed together, and the smell of medicine was mixed together. After careful inspection, her face became increasingly ugly.
Obviously there is something fishy inside.
This pharmacy is really good, but she paid a high price and encountered a shady businessman.
She was already short of money, how could she not be angry after being treated like this?
Tong Li took these medicines and rushed back to the medicine hall with an angry look on his face.
The usher was still wondering why she had just gone out and came back again. Before he could go up, he saw her turning towards the dispensing window and smashing all the bags of medicine in the pharmacist's hand on the table. One of the bags was scattered everywhere.
.
"Is this the medicinal material prescribed by your Yunhui Pharmacy?"
Tong Li's voice was not loud but very powerful. Everyone in the quiet medicine hall heard it clearly. Faced with the sudden change, the little girl was frightened.
A senior administrator heard the commotion and hurriedly came out, smiled politely at Tong Li, and glanced at the medicinal materials scattered on the table from the corner of his eye: "Miss, do you have any questions about our medicine?"
"Of course." She didn't say that the quality was poor, but this time it couldn't be described as poor quality. How dare you fool her!
"The low-quality medicinal materials you gave me are not only old enough, but they have also been soaked in water too much. Not even a little bit of the medicinal efficacy inside them has been lost."
"And this." Tong Li picked up a long, thin piece of Chinese medicine and put it in the pharmacist's hand.
"This is the medicine prescribed by the largest medicine hall in the capital." Tong Li threw the medicine in front of her.
The administrator didn't know what was wrong with the medicine, so she didn't refute Tong Li's words and just picked up a piece from the table and smelled it.
Seeing her confused look, Tong Li kindly reminded her, "The one on your hand is stained by sulfur."
'sulfur?'
The administrator really didn't notice it just now, but after hearing what she said, he immediately became very energetic and looked, smelled and tasted the medicinal materials.
Everyone in this industry knows that sulfur-smoked medicinal materials can prevent insects, make the color brighter, and extend the storage time. There are many unscrupulous traders who use it on medicinal materials.
The efficacy of medicinal materials soaked in sulfur will be greatly reduced, and long-term use of this medicine will also cause harm to the body.
She has been working here for more than ten years, and she has countless medicinal materials in her hands. As long as she identifies them carefully, she can find something strange in them.
The administrator spit out the medicinal materials in his mouth and already had the answer in his mind.
Although the color of the medicinal materials was the same as that of normal medicinal materials, it did have a faint smell of sulfur and a slight salty acidity. She didn't know how these people did it, but she made the idea to Yunhui Medicine Hall.
Obviously he doesn't take them seriously.
The administrator couldn't help but take a second look at Tong Li. This little girl is pretty and has a good knowledge of medicinal materials. If you don't have some skills, you wouldn't be able to smell such a subtle difference. Her nose is very good.
The administrator bowed slightly to her: "Sorry, it was our mistake. Please wait a moment. I will find out what the situation is and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Just as the administrator left, a man and a woman walked in from the outside.
"Brother Qu Rui, just accompany me and go to the movies on weekends. It's boring to be busy working all day. You can also relax and watch movies and listen to concerts occasionally. This way you can live up to your life."
A young girl at the door was chasing after the man, chirping and clamoring to go see a movie.
The man behind him had a faint smile on his lips and walked silently.
When he saw Tong Li, his eyes brightened slightly, and he turned the corner and walked over. The girl behind him was like a follower, following wherever he went.
