Li Xi saw him looking at her backpack and probably guessed what he was thinking. But he was overthinking. She came to sell herbs because she was short of money.

She is not short of money now and has a stable source of income. She is very satisfied with her current life. She has money and time to tinker with her hobby of making medicine.

Any hobby requires investment, especially medicine. She only used some cheap herbs before, but if she wants to do in-depth research, precious herbs are definitely needed.

"I'm here to buy medicine today." Li Xi put down the backpack and opened the lid. There was nothing in the backpack.

Doctor Wu: “…”

Judging from the way she looks, it is possible that she is here to purchase goods from me.

What happened next made him realize that he was not wrong.

"Ginseng, Tripterygium wilfordii, Alpinia officinalis, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Akebia trifoliata, Allium chinense, Nardostachys grandiflora, Stone swallow, Curculigo orchioides, Rhizoma diffusae, Glauber's salt, Borneol, Red peony root, Phragmites australis, Aquilaria sinensis, Citrus aurantium..."

Shitou, who was watching the fun, also widened his eyes and opened his mouth. He glanced at the master who was also stunned beside him, "Master, is she reading out the names of the dishes?"

Doctor Wu: “…”

Finally, Li Xi finished telling the names of the medicines, "I want all of these, one pound of each will be fine."

Doctor Wu: It was the first time he saw people buying medicinal herbs by the pound. Did she think they were buying cabbages?

"One pound?" Doctor Wu laughed angrily and glanced at the basket on the ground. "Can your small basket hold all of it?"

Shitou followed Doctor Wu's gaze and looked at the backpack that Li Xi placed on the ground. The master actually said that the backpack was too small for such a big one. Was the master mad at Li Xi?

Li Xi came here with the intention of purchasing goods. The backpack she carried was quite large. After she put it on her back, her head could not be seen from behind. She estimated that it should be able to hold most of the goods. If not, she would make a few more trips. After all, what she had no shortage of was time.

"Then should I rent a flatbed truck?" Li Xi said deliberately.

Doctor Wu pointed at her angrily.

Doctor Wu is so old, Li Xi didn't want to really anger him, "I'm planning to make some Chinese patent medicine recently, and I'm missing a lot of herbs."

"Chinese patent medicine?" Doctor Wu was stunned. "What is that?"

“Chinese patent medicine is made from Chinese medicinal materials and is made according to a certain Chinese medicinal material formula into oral liquid dosage forms or oral solid dosage forms.

The advantages of Chinese patent medicine are that it is easy to carry, and it eliminates the process of decocting the decoction. It can be used in emergencies and also reduces the peculiar smell and bitterness of the Chinese medicine.

Moreover, Chinese patent medicines are stable in nature, have definite curative effects, have relatively few toxic and side effects, and are convenient to take, carry, store, and preserve.”

Li Xi tasted the sweetness of hemostatic drugs and planned to make several more Chinese patent medicines to sell to Gu Yin.

Although she is not short of money now, if a person only has money but does not have the ability to protect it, he is like a child holding gold bricks.

It's okay to scare ordinary people with a machete, but Li Xi never thought that he could scare away everyone with a machete.

Although the hemostatic drug connected her with Gu Yin or the forces behind Gu Yin, she had already given away the prescription for the hemostatic drug. She now needed more favorable bargaining chips to make the relationship between them closer, such as her abilities.

After Li Xi finished speaking, Doctor Wu understood.

If an ordinary doctor heard what Li Xi said, he would definitely curse, because the principle of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is to use different Chinese medicines according to different diseases to achieve the balance of yin and yang, qi and blood, and internal organs.

Chinese patent medicines run counter to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

But Doctor Wu had experienced a lot in his life, and his eyes darkened when he looked at Li Xi. He immediately saw the advantages of Chinese patent medicine. The Chinese patent medicine she mentioned was most suitable for military use.

No wonder Jingzhi followed her, so this is the reason.

Doctor Wu didn't say anything else and asked Shitou to fill the medicine for her.

Stone:"!!!"

Didn't that happen just now? Why didn't he understand?

Seeing that the master agreed, Shitou had no choice but to pout and go to work without complaint.

Although the stone was small, his hands moved very quickly and he had packed all the herbs that Li Xi wanted in a short while.

"Here, I've put them all in the backpack for you." Hu Ziqiu bent over and pulled Li Xi's backpack out with force. His little face turned red because he pulled too hard.

After dragging the backpack out, he put his hands on his hips and gasped for breath.

Li Xi teased him deliberately, shook her head at him, and said, "Hey, you can't do this, you need to exercise more."

Shitou was already at an age when he cared most about his reputation. When he heard this, he became extremely angry and said, "If you are good enough, come and do it!"

The master is old, and he usually carries a lot of herbs and medicinal materials. He is very strong. It is obvious that she wants too much. More than 200 kinds of herbs, this basket must weigh more than 200 kilograms. He doesn't believe that she can lift it.

Li Xi smiled at him, and Shi Tou frowned, feeling inexplicably that something was wrong.

Li Xi just grasped the straps of the backpack and swung it gently, and the backpack was on her back.

Shi Tou opened his eyes wide, looking at the scene in shock.

Li Xi blinked at him and said, "Little brother, you can't do this."

Shitou did not refute because he did not hear what she said at all. He had filled the backpack himself and dragged it here himself, so he knew best how heavy it was.

Why is it that when it comes to her hands, it's as if there's nothing in it.

Li Xi was indeed quite weak before, but as she ate better and got enough nutrition, she found that she was getting stronger and stronger. Of course, it was not just her, Hu Zi was the same.

From memory, Li Tiezhu seemed to be very strong, and Li Xi guessed it was due to genetics.

Doctor Wu was also surprised at Li Xi's strength, but not as obvious as Shi Tou showed.

"Okay, little girl, stop teasing him." Doctor Wu couldn't understand Li Xi's bad taste in teasing stones.

"Okay." Li Xi decided to stop while she was ahead and walked to the counter with the basket on her back. "How much?"

Doctor Wu didn't bother to be polite with Li Xi. He fiddled with the abacus for a long time, his hands almost cramped from exhaustion. She had bought too many items. "Six hundred and thirty-two taels. I'll give you a zero."

"Six hundred taels?"

Doctor Wu: “…”

"Don't dream in broad daylight. Six hundred and thirty taels."

"Okay." Li Xi took out the banknote with a painful look on her face. More than six hundred taels was not a small amount for her.

After Li Xi left, Shitou still looked incredulous, "Master, how can she be so strong?"

In Shi Tou's eyes, Li Xi is thin and small. She used to look like a malnourished yellow-haired girl. Maybe because she eats better recently, she has gained some weight and her hair has become darker, but she is still thin and small. She is just taller than him. How can she be so strong?

Doctor Wu: "There are many extraordinary people in this world. She is just a little stronger."

Stone: That’s all?
