It was a new day. After washing up and eating breakfast, Zhong Shan left the courtyard house and went to the pharmacy.
"Do you sell dried orange peel here?" Zhong Shan asked when they arrived at the pharmacy.
"I have dried orange peel. How much do you want?" The pharmacy owner replied politely.
"How much is a ten-year-old orange peel?" Zhong Shan said.
"Ten-year-old orange peel?" The pharmacy owner's expression changed slightly. He was very surprised and then shook his head." There are three, four, and five years old ones, but not ten years old ones.”
"No?" Zhong Shan walked out of the pharmacy in disappointment.
The city was huge.
Naturally, there were quite a few medicinal stores.
Zhong Shan went to many drug stores, but the final result was that there were dried orange peels under ten years old, but there were no dried orange peels over ten years old.
Zhong Shan was disappointed.
He thought that he could find dried orange peels that were more than ten years old in the pharmacy.
In the end, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"How can there be none?" Zhong Shan could not understand.
Although orange peel that was more than ten years old was precious, it was impossible for every pharmacy to not have it, right?
"Excuse me, do you sell orange peel that is more than ten years old?”Zhong Shan was unwilling to give up, so he went to another pharmacy.
"We don't have anything over ten years, but we do have anything under ten years. Do you want it?”The pharmacy owner smiled at Zhong Shan.
The results were the same as those of the previous drug stores. There were no dried orange peels that were more than ten years old.
Zhong Shan shook his head and said," I only want tangerines that are over ten years old. I've been to many drug stores, but none of them have any. Don't tell me that the drug stores in Beijing don't sell tangerines that are over ten years old?"”
"No, I haven't." The pharmacy owner shook his head when he heard Zhong Shan's words.
"Why?" Zhong Shan looked at the pharmacy owner in confusion. Zhong Shan was originally a person with the mindset of a businessman. Since the pharmacy owner said so, Zhong Shan immediately understood that there was an inside story.
"Not to mention orange peel that is more than ten years old, you can't buy any medicinal herbs that are more than ten years old at the pharmacy.”the pharmacy owner said.
"Boss, do you have any connections?”Zhong Shan asked.
"Of course I have the connections, but why should I tell you?”The pharmacy owner smiled.
"As long as you give me a way, you can give me a number.”Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
Naturally, Zhong Shan knew that the owner of the medicine store wanted benefits.
"I happen to know where there are dried orange peels that are more than ten years old. I can take you there, but you have to give me this amount.”The owner of the pharmacy extended his hand.
"Five yuan?" Zhong Shan was stunned.
"Five yuan? Are you kidding me? It's fifty yuan.”The owner of the pharmacy glared at Zhong Shan.
"Fifty dollars…"
Hiss!
Even Zhong Shan couldn't help but gasp when he heard this number.
What did 50 yuan mean?
According to Zhong Shan's current salary, it was equivalent to two months of his salary.
"That's right, it's 50 yuan. I can also tell you with certainty that he only sells dried orange peel. If you want to buy other aged herbs, you won't be able to buy them at all.”the pharmacy owner reminded.
"Sure, take me to buy dried orange peel first.”Zhong Shan agreed without thinking.
He had to get the orange peel that was more than ten years old.
Zhong Shan did not bargain with the pharmacy owner. Zhong Shan was a businessman, and he could tell that this was a marketing method of the pharmacy owner. To put it bluntly, it was for personal gain.
This time, it was Chen Pi.
The next time, it would be the other medicinal herbs.
If Mount Zhong wanted to concoct pills, he would need a large amount of medicinal herbs. Moreover, they were not ordinary medicinal herbs.
Zhong Shan did not want to give up after finally getting a hold of the pharmacy owner.
As for money, Zhong Shan didn't mind spending a little more as long as the matter could be completed.
"Give me the money first." The pharmacy owner looked at Zhong Shan meaningfully.
Zhong Shan was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't look like a rich person. He didn't expect Zhong Shan to really agree.
This was fifty yuan.
However, the pharmacy owner didn't say much.
People who could use medicinal herbs for more than ten years were not simple characters.
Every pharmacy owner had some connections. To a certain extent, these pharmacy owners were willing to help some customers get some difficult medicinal herbs in order to earn some extra money.
Zhong Shan didn't waste any time and immediately took out five Great Reunion Cards.
In order to buy the ingredients for refining the Body Tempering Pill, Zhong Shan took out all his savings in the secluded domain of heaven and earth.
There were more than 300 pieces.
Now that he had given the pharmacy owner 50 yuan, he only had 200 yuan left.
"Very refreshing." The pharmacy owner took the 50 yuan from Zhong Shan and gave him a thumbs up.
"Let's go. Come with me to find him now.”
The owner of the pharmacy was also relatively straightforward. He closed the door and brought Zhong Shan to buy dried orange peel.
The pharmacy owner told Zhong Shan that his surname was Huang. His pharmacy used to be privately owned, but now it was a joint venture.
Zhong Shan also introduced himself, saying that his surname was Zhong. He didn't say anything else.
He couldn't reveal too much information about his identity, just in case something unexpected happened and he got into trouble.
"Boss Huang, other than the orange peel that is more than ten years old, do you have any way to get the other herbs that are more than ten years old?”Zhong Shan asked.
"How much do you want, Mr. Zhong?" Boss Huang looked at Zhong Shan in surprise.
Boss Huang didn't ask why Mount Zhong needed herbs that were more than ten years old. It was a rule.
Just like the connections he had in his hands, he would not easily reveal them.
If it wasn't for the fact that Zhong Shan was 50 yuan, he wouldn't have brought him here.
"As many as you have." Zhong Shan thought for a moment and gritted his teeth.
He didn't have that much money right now, but he had a large amount of resources in his secluded domain of heaven and earth. He could sell the resources out of Pigeon City or use them to settle accounts.
Zhong Shan could already tell that Boss Huang was most likely a smuggler. Even if he wasn't a smuggler, his route wasn't regular.
A man cannot be rich without a windfall.
There was no shortage of people who were not afraid of death in any era.
"Come find me at the pharmacy in a few days.”Boss Huang pondered for a moment and said to Zhong Shan.
He didn't reject or agree.
Zhong Shan didn't ask further.
Boss Huang had asked him to go to the pharmacy in a few days to discuss the matter of the herbs.
Perhaps when he reached the pharmacy, he would directly take the goods.
"Boss Huang, there shouldn't be any problems on your side, right?”? Zhong Shan felt uneasy, but he still asked.
If Boss Huang was really smuggling medicinal herbs and was caught, he would probably eat peanuts. The profits from medicinal herbs were too great.
Since Zhong Shan had already established a connection, he had to consider his own safety.
Of course, even if Boss Huang was a smuggler, Zhong Shan would still do this business.
He needed a large number of medicinal herbs, and they were more than ten years old.
He could only refine pills with these herbs that were more than ten years old.
What Zhong Shan needed to do was to minimize the risk. Even if Boss Huang was caught, he could still escape unscathed.
