90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Chapter 69 Why does it look so much like ephedra?

"Mr. Zhang, this piece of agarwood has a very strong penetrating power. It has at least five different aromas: cool, honey, frankincense, floral, and fruity. But for some reason, it also has a faint scent of styrax and salvia miltiorrhiza. It seems like there's something else... This is so rare, so I find it strange."

Yi Congxin's voice is soft and crisp, and his pronunciation is clear.

Every word was carefully considered, and these words not only dispelled Shen Chen's doubts, but also attracted the attention of Zhang Chengjin and Zong Qizheng.

Sincerity is always a must-win.

First, Zong Qizheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became more certain of his judgment.

Shen Chen's expression also changed from questioning to... even more confused. Could she really smell so much?

Zhang Chengjin was the same. Not only was he not angry, but his face was also moved.

He wears this white agarwood pendant every day because he has a congenital heart disease.

Although he had surgery, it couldn't be cured. The doctor advised him to avoid strenuous exercise and maintain a normal and relaxed state of mind.

It just so happened that someone in the family was in the spice business, and by chance he got this piece of white agarwood "daojia" material, so he made a Wu Shi Pai and gave it to him.

Agarwood has the function of regulating qi, relieving depression, nourishing the heart and strengthening the body. The fragrance it emits can also help relax the body and mind. Wearing it daily is the best way to nourish the heart. That's why he has been wearing it for several years.

However, in recent months, his heart condition had become increasingly worse, and he had even increased the dosage of the Heart-Protecting Suhe Pills he had been taking. The main ingredients of the pills were storax and salvia miltiorrhiza, so he was again stained with a barely detectable medicinal fragrance.

Unexpectedly, the girl not only smelled the scent of agarwood, but also the medicine he often took.

Before Zhang Chengjin could even speak, Shen Chen was so surprised that he almost lost his composure. "You can smell all these? That's amazing!"

Shen Chen has been exposed to medicinal materials since childhood. You know, the old pharmacists in Shen Pharmaceutical may not have the same sense of smell as this girl.

What a strange man!

Zong Qizheng nodded secretly with satisfaction.

Mr. Zhang is Shen Chen's friend. He has nothing to do recently, so he follows Shen Chen around when he is out on business.

During the conversation between the three of them just now, Shen Chen happened to mention that Mr. Zhang had some heart problems, and asked Zong Qizheng to help find out if there was any famous doctor in the field in Nanming Province so that he could take his friend to see one.

Zong Qizheng sniffed the medicinal fragrance emanating from Mr. Zhang's body carefully again. It was indeed the scent of frankincense that protects the heart.

Zhang Chengjin's attitude was open and calm. He had already accepted the fact that he had a heart disease.

He smiled and briefly explained the reason to Yi Congxin.

The sense of proportion between the lines is just right, calm and indifferent, without any self-pity.

Yi Congxin paused for a moment. So that's how it is.

She said "sorry" embarrassedly, and she really didn't mean to bring up the sad story of the "patient".

but.

In addition to the smells just now, there was also a strange smell that lingered at the tip of her nose and was difficult to dispel.

This smell...why does it smell so much like ephedra?

According to her experience in her previous life, it would take at least thirty or forty years before the medical community developed "Mahuang Decoction to treat pulmonary heart disease", but that medicine was not suitable for the congenital heart disease described by Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang just claimed that he had a weak heart since childhood. If he had come into contact with ephedra...

And he didn't seem to know it, if he didn't know it yet...

Quite inappropriate!

Having said so much, Yi Congxin decided to ask his final question: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know why, but I seem to smell... the slightly bitter and sour smell of ephedra."

Before Zhang Chengjin could react, Zong Qizheng and Shen Chen, the two people who knew about medicinal herbs, changed their expressions instantly.

Ephedra?

Ephedra is a strong medicine. If used properly, it is a good medicine for inducing sweating and relieving cold. However, if used improperly, the ephedrine and pseudoephedrine it contains are very dangerous for Zhang Chengjin, who has a fragile heart.

Zong Qizheng and Shen Chen looked at each other, neither of them quite sure what was going on.

The two were not sure how sensitive Yi Congxin's nose was. After all, the medicinal smell of ephedra itself was very light, so it was normal to smell it wrong.

However, the two of them obviously tend to be conservative and both think it is better to be cautious.

Especially Shen Chen, he and Zhang Chengjin have been friends since childhood, and of course he doesn't want him to take even the slightest risk, not to mention that the Zhang family is wealthy and powerful, and Zhang Chengjin is the only child. If something happens when he hangs out with him, he can't take the responsibility.

Zhang Chengjin didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, so he looked at his friend in confusion.

The surprise and smile on Shen Chen's face disappeared. Although he remained calm on the surface, beads of sweat were actually oozing out of his palms.

"Chengjin, can you show me your sign?"

It was rare for Shen Chen to speak so seriously, so Zhang Chengjin couldn't help but look serious and took off the "Nothing to worry about" sign and handed it to Shen Chen.

Shen Chen put it to his nose and sniffed carefully, his expression becoming more serious. However, he was not a professional and was a little unsure. He handed the "Nothing to Do" card to Zong Qizheng and frowned, saying, "Master Zong, please help me smell it."

Zong Qi was doing the same action as Shen Chen. He sniffed it carefully, secretly shocked but silent. He handed the "Nothing to Do" card to Yi Congxin.

It is better to follow your heart: ...

I complained in my heart: After all these twists and turns, how did it end up in her hands?

In fact, she was a little hesitant in her heart. This Wu Shi Pai was Zhang Chengjin's personal belongings, and they were just meeting for the first time. How could she feel embarrassed?

But she was a medicine seller and she was the one who started the conversation, and ephedra was dangerous to Zhang Chengjin... Thinking of this, she calmed down and no longer worried so much.

Yi Congxin hesitated for only a moment before taking the "Nothing to worry about" sign.

This Wu Shi Pai is heavy and greasy. Moreover, it seems to be thicker and more solid than the average Wu Shi Pai, so it is heavier.

Yi Congxin frowned slightly. This brand was indeed a bit weird.

She held the "Nothing to Do" card close to her nose, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast two arc-shaped shadows on her eyelids.

Concentrate and smell carefully.

In the quiet darkness, the various scents emitted by the Wu Shi Pai intertwined in her nostrils like substances, appearing one by one.

It's like an adventure, making people want to find out more.

The other three waited quietly, not daring to make a sound, and even their breathing became much lighter.

A hint of unnoticeable emotion flashed across the corner of Zhang Chengjin's eyes.

He has always been calm and composed. Shen Chen once said that "even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he can remain calm." It is extremely rare for him to be so emotionally volatile as he is now.

This brand was something he had worn for years, and it was the first time a young girl held it close to him and sniffed it...

He was in a trance for a moment.

This girl looks like she comes from a poor family, but she is generous and confident.

Her simple clothes could not hide her beautiful face. A few strands of hair fell softly on her forehead, and she looked serious and focused.
