The Little King Next Door

How could there be so many pharmacist apprentices, and the two families saw that the clothes of those who went in and out of the next door were exactly the same as those of the poor islanders nearby. How could they be noble and rare pharmacist apprentices?

Unconvinced, the child described what he saw while lying on the wall in detail, and said, "This is not an apprentice pharmacist, what is it?"

"You said they were making medicine?" the adults wondered.

"Yes, it's true, I see they seem to be concocting a black ointment."

The two adults looked at each other, guessing: "Probably the apprentice of the village elder who knows some herbs in the fishing village on the island."

"That should be it."

The child doesn't understand, "Is the apprentice of the village elder who understands herbs different from the apprentice of the pharmacist?"

"Of course it's different." The adults laughed, and said proudly: "Apprentice pharmacists have to pass the formal examination. Only with the certificate of the pharmacist guild can they call themselves apprentice pharmacists, like the one in our village. As for those who only know some herbs People, that can’t be called a pharmacist’s apprentice, but a wild herb pharmacist.”

Having said that, the hostesses of the two families found an excuse to go to the next door to have a look, in the name of delivering some food to the tenants.

When Sister Sha went to open the door, the hostesses of the two families stood outside the yard and looked around. They saw that some medicinal herbs were dried in the yard, and some were even planted in the corner of the yard.

The hostesses of the two families chatted with Sister Sha, and soon learned that they were all from Haigou Island, and the people who rented their houses were distinguished guests from Haigou Village.

The hostesses of the two families wanted to ask if the distinguished guest was an apprentice pharmacist. Sister Sha had been instructed by Wang Ye, but she only said that she didn't know very well, saying that the distinguished guest did not reveal their identities, but they did know more about herbs than the villagers.

Although the two hostesses did not get a clear answer, at least they knew that the person who rented their house was not a pirate of unknown origin, so they were somewhat relieved.

On that day, a large number of vendors delivered goods into the market, and everyone who could come to Haicao Island nearby came.

The big boat of Haigou Village also rushed to Haicao Island before evening under the leadership of the village head, and the anchor and sharks came to pick up the people.

The village chief learned about the shark's situation from the anchor mouth, and he didn't show any abnormality towards the shark. He just patted the shark's shoulder with tears and said that it would be good if he would come back.

Shark saw that the village chief did not reject him at all, and the village chief and the anchor told the villagers that they persuaded Shark to take his family back to the village, which gave him enough face and dispelled Shark's last hesitation.

The next day, the annual Haicao Village Fair finally opened its doors.

On this day, people in the whole village were running to the big market, firstly to watch the excitement, and secondly, on the first day, many stall owners would offer a lot of discounts in order to attract customers.

The whole market is bustling and bustling.

Next to the stall in Haigou Village, there is an extra straw mat, on which some sorted medicinal herbs are placed, and a branch is inserted in a corner of the straw mat. Doctor, good at treating bone injuries" two lines.

Few of the people passing by stopped in front of this stall. Not only were there very few medicinal herbs in this stall, there were only a few teenagers guarding the stall, and no one took them seriously.

Hai Ya and the others didn't care, they were reviewing the homework that Xiao Ye Zi taught them yesterday, reciprocating the shape, place of origin, habit and efficacy of the herb, etc.

Wang Ye taught students in accordance with their aptitude. Knowing that these children had no basic knowledge, he did not teach the theoretical knowledge that would make people feel dizzy. Instead, he asked Hai Ya and others to memorize the herbs he used first, and then taught them a simple formula for using medicinal mud.

And where is Wang Ye himself now?

He was shopping with Lei Mu.

"How do you sell these herbs?" Wang Ye squatted in front of a stall, pointing to the fresh herbs with muddy roots on the stall and asked.

The stall owner who sells medicinal herbs is also an islander from a nearby island. He has dark skin and a simple smile: "I picked these from our island in the past two days. Three plants cost a copper coin. If there are no copper coins, you can exchange them with other things." .”

Don't ask what kind of herbs, three plants for one copper coin, it's really cheap.

Seeing that he could use all these herbs, Wang Ye said without hesitation: "I want all these herbs."

The stall owner was overjoyed to see that the adults around the child did not object.He didn't expect that he would be able to sell all the herbs he brought on the first day, and he was worried that the price would be too high, so he immediately said: "Okay, okay, I'll put it in a basket for you. Don't want a basket Your money, here you go."

The villagers of this stall owner also looked at him with envy. In addition to selling common goods in the village, everyone is allowed to bring some things to sell at the stall in their village. If personal things are sold, they belong to the individual and do not need to be handed over to the village. .

Wang Ye also bought some swim bladders, dried seahorses, cuttlefish bones and some sea pearls from a stall in this fishing village.

These sea pearls are irregular in shape and very small, only a circle larger than a grain of rice. They are worthless goods that cannot be sold for a high price, but they are used to make medicines, and their medicinal properties are the same.

The islanders guarding the stall saw that the kid didn't even bargain for the price, so they laughed from ear to ear, and offered to recommend other goods to him.

Wang Ye found that the islanders at this stall seem to be very good at making medicinal seafood, and almost all of them are edible and medicinal, such as dried sea cucumbers, sea snakes, conger eels, and scallops.

But Wang Ye was shy. The prices of these seafood were relatively high, and some of them were also available in Haigou Village. He really needed them, and there was no need to buy them from other stalls.

Not long after Wang Ye left, several seagrass villagers came to the stall together.

The islanders at this stall showed complicated expressions when they saw the person coming, and the leader put on a smiling face and greeted familiarly: "Master Pharmacist, you are here."

"I'm not a pharmacist yet, don't bark." Fu Qiqi denied while picking the goods on the stall.

The leader smiled apologetically, and cursed inwardly, who dares to call you an apprentice, isn't he afraid of being put on by you?

Fu Qiqi is the only pharmacist apprentice in Haicao Village, and Fu is a common surname in Haicao Village.

"Why is the swim bladder of the golden thread flying fish gone?" Fu Qiqi asked dissatisfiedly as he turned around.

"Oh, someone came to buy swim bladders just now, and they probably picked them all up."

Fu Qi is angry: "The eyes are sharp, and the best ones are picked away!"

The leader just smiled and didn't speak.

Fu Qiqi went to look at other things, picked them for a long time, and then asked: "Where are the mullet bones? Where are the dried seahorses? And what about those tiny sea pearls? Why are there none? Didn't you bring them this time?"

The leader had no choice but to answer: "I also bought it for the customer just now."

"Didn't I ask you to keep all the good ones for me!" Fu Qi was furious.

The leader thinks that the guests don’t want to counter the price. What about you, you not only want us to give you half of the price, but also give you a head. We are stupid so we don’t sell it to others and insist on waiting for you.

"You can take a look at the sea cucumbers and sea snakes, we have kept them for you." The stall owner smiled apologetically.

"How much can I want? You don't keep what I want the most! I won't buy it at your house in the future." Fu Qiqi was furious, turned around and left without buying anything.

The islanders in this stall don’t care too much. They have good things, so they don’t worry about not being able to sell them. In the past, only Fu Qiqi was a pharmacist’s apprentice on the nearby islands. .

But in the market, things are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and you haven’t paid a deposit, so why let people keep the good stuff for you? If you don’t come to buy, what will the seller do?

If Fu Qiqi targeted them because of this, at worst they would not seek Fu Qiqi for medical treatment in the future.In fact, no one really got seriously ill on the island, and they seldom went to Haicao Village.The distance is so far, and the people who send it there are almost dying, and not all islanders can afford the medicine of Fu Qiqi.

Wang Ye saw another herb that he liked at a stall, asked the price, thought it was appropriate, and bought a lot.

It didn't take long for the two of them to spend almost the same amount of silver coins left over from selling wild boars.

Just as Wang Ye left the stall, Fu Qiqi also came here, and he was also a regular customer of the stall.

The stall owner comes from a large island, which is a three-connected island, but only a small number of islanders live on the outermost periphery.The other two inner islands have many medicinal herbs of very high quality, and they are the only ones that have them.

Unfortunately, there are a group of savages living on the two inner islands of Sanlian Island, and the wild beasts inside are also powerful. Those savages only recognize the islanders living on the outer islands. If others go there to collect herbs, they will be chased and killed by those savages.

Therefore, the medicinal herbs at the stalls on Sanlian Island have always been selling fast, and Fu Qiqi didn't dare to lower the price like he did to other nearby islanders.

Fu Qiqi thought that he had come early enough. Usually, no matter how popular the medicinal herbs on Sanlian Island are, it would take two days to sell out.

The herbs in Sanlian Island were not sold out, but the two herbs that Fu Qiqi wanted to buy the most were not left!

Fu Qiqi is about to explode.It's really not going well today, he couldn't buy anything he wanted to buy.

Seeing Wang Ye's excited expression, Lei Mu couldn't help asking, "Did you buy something good?"

Wang Ye grinned: "I'm lucky today. I didn't expect to buy dragon scale grass and purple cloud flowers here. They are not dry goods, but fresh goods."

"Are these two herbs useful?"

"It's useful, very useful. Didn't I mean to take a medicated bath? I know several medicated bath recipes, and the one that uses dragon scale grass is the best for laying the foundation. Ziyunhua can warm and nourish the spirit, yes It is the main medicine for making a mental power recovery potion, but I also know a method of using purple cloud flower. Proper use in medicinal baths can improve mental power. Now we only need to buy some commonly used medicines to make the first time Medicinal bath."

Wang Ye was very happy. Whether it was Dragon Scale Grass or Purple Cloud Flower, if you bought it in the mainland, the price would be unaffordable. But here, he bought ten plants with one silver coin. Picked up the same.

"Want to visit the Mercenary Guild?" Lei Mu pointed not far away.

Wang Ye looked over Lei Mu's finger and found that it turned out to be a temporary sub-site of the mercenary guild. Many people were there to hand over tasks, and some were entrusting tasks. There were also many merchants holding money cards to exchange cash there.

"Okay. Mumu, do you want to send a letter to that pharmacist?"

"Didn't you say that the pharmacist is too far away from us, and when he comes over, it will be too late. I'll go and see what tasks I can do."

"Then I'll go and see, maybe someone needs a pharmacist." Wang Ye followed naturally.

Fu Qiqi happened to pass by the stall in Haigou Village at this time. He was literate and saw the cover at a glance.

"The wild doctor in the country? It's a bit self-aware."

Look down again.

"Good at treating bone injuries? You're really bragging and don't write drafts. Probably another guy who can tie broken bones with wooden boards and dare to call himself a miracle doctor." Fu Qiqi disdainful.

The village chief recognized the apprentice pharmacist and hurried over to greet him.

Fu Qiqi pursed his lips, and asked not really wanting to answer: "The black pig grandma from your village is also here?"

The village head hurriedly replied: "No, she didn't come this time."

Fu Qiqi pointed at Bubao: "Who borrowed your land then? I didn't even know there was someone in your village who could write."

The village head sneered, and he couldn't get angry after being humiliated, he just said: "That is a distinguished guest in the village, and he just borrowed our stall temporarily."

"Oh? Where are the others?" Fu Qiqi scanned Haiya and the others, but found no one who looked like a distinguished guest.

The village chief was displeased with Fu Qiqi's contemptuous tone towards the distinguished guest in the village, so he restrained his anger and said, "The distinguished guest went to the market. Does Fu Yaoshi need anything from him?"

"You can't ask if you're okay?" Fu Qiqi changed his face. He had a bad time entering the market today, and he was in a particularly bad mood. He was set on fire before anyone else said anything.

"Hey, isn't this Fu Pharmacist? Long time no see. You look really energetic. Grandpa Sea God really dotes on you the most." The anchor felt bad, and immediately came out of the shop, and greeted Fu Qiqi with great enthusiasm: "Fu Yaoshi, take a look at our seafood, if you want something, I'll give you the cheap price."

Fu Qiqi pulled his face, "Do you still have your sea pearls? The colored ones, I remember you sold them a few years ago."

The village head and the anchor knew that people would miss them when they took out the colorful beads. In the past two years, many people asked them one after another, and this year Fu Qiqi came to ask again.

The anchor shook his head regretfully: "It was sold out a few years ago. It's hard to get such a big colored bead, it's all luck. In the past few years, our village's tribute to Grandpa Sea God may not be very good. Get something good."

The village chief also hurriedly said: "Yes, if we have something good, we will definitely keep it for you."

Fu Qiqi was not happy, and stretched out his foot and kicked: "If you believe in you, you will be a ghost. If you let me know that you have colored beads and don't sell them to me, but sell them to others, you will never want to come to our village to sell goods in the future."

Seeing that Fu Qiqi kicked away the herbs prepared by Xiao Yezi, Haidan was so angry that he was about to explode on the spot, but his brother covered his mouth and pushed him down.

With a cold face, the paddle picked up the kicked medicinal herbs.

The other three teenagers glared at Fu Qiqi, but when Fu Qiqi looked over, they all lowered their heads.

Fu Qiqi felt a little relieved when he saw that the people in Haigou dared to be angry and did not dare to speak up. He kicked the herbs that had just been picked up by the oars and set them up, and then walked away with his head held high.

"This bastard!" Hai Dan pushed his brother away, his eyes were red with anger.

The paddle went over to pick up the herb with red eyes. The herb that had been kicked twice was already rotten and could no longer be put on the stall for sale.

The anchor held his daughter's shoulders, "Don't be sad. Remember today's mood, learn from Xiao Yezi, the better you learn, the less chances our village will find this bastard in the future, and we don't have to deal with it anymore. He bows his head."

The village chief was also trying to comfort the other teenagers, "You have all heard what your Uncle Anchor said. Cherish the opportunity you have now, if you don't want to be ridden on the head to show off your power, you have to live up to it yourself!"

The village chief gritted his teeth and said the village's plan: "If the village can make a lot of money this time, the village will send the best one from your middle school to be an apprentice to a pharmacist."

Hai Ya and the others raised their heads together with a slap.
