Chapter 121 These silver needles look pretty good
Although Su Niannian offered to help them carry it.
But Gu Zhendong said he could take it; although his leg was injured, his hands were still fine and he was very strong.
Originally, Su Niannian was going to go straight back to the village, but then she suddenly remembered something and told Gu Nan.
“You ride your bicycle with me. I’m going to Baicaotang. I need to buy some Chinese medicine,” Su Niannian said to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan naturally did not object, nodded, and followed Su Niannian's bicycle.
Baicaotang is not far from the state-run restaurant.
The two arrived quickly, one after the other. After arriving at Baicaotang, Su Niannian asked Gu Nan and Gu Zhendong to wait outside while she went in to buy things and came out soon.
Gu Nan nodded in agreement.
Su Niannian entered Baicaotang and found the middle-aged pharmacist who had previously asked her for the formula.
"Hello, pharmacist. I need some medicinal herbs. Here's the order form." Su Niannian handed over an order form.
There are more than twenty kinds of Chinese medicine listed above.
The pharmacist glanced at the package and said that everything was available, and then wrapped it up according to the amount Su Niannian had requested.
"Pharmacist, is there anywhere in our county that sells acupuncture needles?" Su Niannian asked with a smile.
Although Su Niannian knew that this item would definitely be available in the city, it would be even better if she could buy a set now.
"Silver needles? You also know acupuncture?" The middle-aged pharmacist knew that Su Niannian knew traditional Chinese medicine, but not everyone who knows traditional Chinese medicine knows acupuncture.
There are many acupoints on the human body, and acupuncture is actually a very difficult procedure.
He knew that some highly skilled acupuncturists could cure diseases that even medicine couldn't cure simply by using silver needles to stimulate acupoints.
I just don't know how good this little girl is.
"Yes, do you know where I can buy it?" Su Niannian saw shock in the middle-aged pharmacist's eyes.
“What a coincidence, I have a brand new set of silver needles here, made by a top master. Let me show it to you.”
He didn't know if it was just the middle-aged pharmacist's imagination, but he always felt that Su Niannian had an unfathomable quality. The Chinese medicine prescriptions she wrote before were just like that. He had shown them to his master, who said that the prescriptions were very mysterious.
Now that Su Niannian wants to buy silver needles, the middle-aged pharmacist plans to sell her a brand-new set of silver needles that he just acquired.
If she knows its value.
A moment later, the middle-aged pharmacist came out from behind with a set of silver needles.
It was wrapped in a light green embroidered cloth bag, and it was clearly not an ordinary item.
The middle-aged pharmacist asked Su Niannian to sit over here and unfolded his silver needle pouch.
There are more than eighty silver needles of various sizes.
Su Niannian picked one up and felt that it was very well made, and there were many of them in various sizes.
"This set is so beautiful and exquisitely made. I wonder how much it costs?"
Clearly, Su Niannian immediately took a liking to this bag of silver needles.
The middle-aged pharmacist's set of silver needles was actually made by a top-notch master, and the labor cost was not cheap.
The ingredients used are also of high quality.
"Twenty-five yuan," the middle-aged pharmacist said.
He didn't earn a single penny from Su Niannian; it really did cost twenty-five yuan to make.
This is more than a month's wages for a worker these days. I wonder if Su Niannian will think it's too expensive.
If someone who doesn't know the business thinks they've made a lot of money in the process, that's not good.
The middle-aged man was a little worried that Su Niannian would misunderstand him.
After all, if Su Niannian really has excellent medical skills and can also do acupuncture, he has a patient who wants Su Niannian to take a look.
"Then I'll give you thirty yuan. This set of silver needles is obviously not an ordinary item." Su Niannian held the silver needle bag in her hand, as if it were a treasure.
"Also, could you please have this master make another set for me? I'd like to keep it as a backup," Su Niannian said again.
Su Niannian doesn't plan to keep this set of Silver Needles Protruding Path in her spatial storage.
However, it's still better to have a set of these on hand.
So she wants another set.
Seeing Su Niannian's reaction, the middle-aged pharmacist knew that this girl must really have some skills.
So he agreed.
Moreover, she has a good eye for quality.
"Here's sixty yuan for you. I'll come back next month to collect the acupuncture needles," Su Niannian said, handing the money to the middle-aged pharmacist.
The middle-aged pharmacist was stunned for a moment. This young girl was quite something; she actually knew that it would take a month or two to make a set of such fine silver needles.
Most people would assume it would only take a few days to complete.
Moreover, she accepted the money readily, knowing the value of the silver needles.
"You can pay after you've seen the items," the middle-aged pharmacist said.
"No need, I trust you." Su Niannian smiled.
Over there, the medicinal herbs that Su Niannian wanted had already been packed up.
Su Niannian inquired about the price, paid the money, said goodbye to the middle-aged pharmacist, and left Baicaotang.
After Su Niannian went out and met up with Gu Nan, they were about to leave on their bicycles when the middle-aged pharmacist chased after them again.
"Young lady." The middle-aged pharmacist saw Su Niannian riding her bicycle away as soon as he came out of Baicaotang, with two men beside her.
"What's wrong?" Su Niannian asked, puzzled. "Did I shortchange you just now?"
"No... I have something I'd like to ask for your help with," the middle-aged pharmacist continued.
Su Niannian looked back at Gu Nan, who nodded, and then Su Niannian parked her bicycle.
"Do we need to go inside to talk?" Su Niannian asked again.
The middle-aged pharmacist nodded quickly, "If that's the case, then that's best."
Su Niannian followed the middle-aged pharmacist back to Baicaotang. This time, she did not stay in the front hall, but went directly to the back courtyard of Baicaotang.
From the outside, Baicaotang doesn't look very big, but I didn't expect it to be so spacious inside.
Besides the Chinese herbs drying in the sun, there are also many rooms that are clearly places for storing Chinese herbs.
The courtyard is also beautifully renovated, with a strong Chinese style, antique and very comfortable.
They walked a little further inside, and the middle-aged pharmacist led Su Niannian into a side hall.
Then someone was asked to bring Su Niannian a cup of tea.
In this day and age, very few people drink such fine tea.
Su Niannian knew just by opening the lid of the teacup that this tea was not cheap.
The best Biluochun tea.
"Sir, what is it? Please speak frankly." Su Niannian smiled and took a sip of tea, not wanting to beat around the bush with this pharmacist, after all, her man and brother were still waiting outside.
Su Niannian didn't want to keep them waiting too long.
"Young lady, my name is Zhou Qishan. I think you are a skilled doctor, and your expertise in acupuncture should be quite profound. There is an old man here who suffers from pain every day."
"Of all the doctors I know, none of them are capable of treating this old man. I would like to ask you to give it a try."
