Chapter 486: Buying herbs

Looking at the wine recipe, there were hundreds of names of Chinese medicinal materials that Ye Yuan might have never heard of.

Except for ginseng, I almost didn’t have any other medicinal materials on hand.

Look at the time, it's only around three o'clock in the afternoon. I don't have much to do now, so I go to the Chinese medicine store to see if I can buy all the medicinal materials for the wine prescription.

Ye Yuan was still very curious about this unexpected wine recipe.

You must know that tiger bone wine is quite famous in China, but I don’t know what the effect will be if the tiger bone wine in the recipe I got is actually made.

We took a taxi to Anyongtang, the largest traditional Chinese medicine store in Shangjing.

Anyong Hall was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 580 years, more than 200 years earlier than Tongrentang.

There is a saying among many people who are old in Beijing that "anyong inside, Tongren outside". "Tongren outside" refers to Tongrentang outside the front door, and "anyong inside" refers to the East Fourth Archway and Anyong Hall at the east and west corners of the city at that time.

Anyongtang changed shop owners several times in history. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was once the name of Dongxi Archway and Dongjia Gold Store.

After several generations of hard work, it reached its heyday in the 1930s.

I thought I just took a taxi, but when I heard that I wanted to go to the most famous Chinese medicine store, I took myself here.

It also introduced some things about Anyong Hall in detail.

I used to often hear that my brother from Shangjing was not only good at talking, but also knew some allusions very clearly. Today I have seen it myself.

After walking into Anyongtang and coming to the counter where he bought Chinese medicinal materials, a young woman in her thirties with a good face greeted Ye Yuan:

"Are you here to buy Chinese medicine? Do you have a doctor's prescription?"

The young woman has been working here for more than three years. When she saw a young man like Ye Yuan coming here, she knew that he must be helping her family get medicine. She experienced this kind of thing repeatedly every day.

"Forehead..."

Hearing the young woman's question, Ye Yuan remembered that he had come here to grab some medicine, but it was not very convenient for him to take out the deerskin wine recipe.

Just when he was thinking about finding a place to copy down the medicinal ingredients on the wine prescription, he realized that he could actually remember it?

I just saw all the medicinal materials on the wine prescription at the hotel. Not only that, I even remembered the dosage of the medicinal materials clearly.

What's going on? When did my memory become so good?

Although Ye Yuan was frightened by his sudden improvement in memory, now was not the time to explore.

So he spoke to the young woman based on his memory:

"8 taels of salvia, 7 taels of dried rehmannia root, 4 taels of root bark, 4 taels of dried ginger, 4 taels of xiong rhizome, 5 taels of pig pepper root, 5 taels of atractylodes, 5 taels of Acanthopanax bark, 5 taels of Citrus aurantium....

.”

At first, the young woman was able to accurately remember the medicinal materials that Ye Yuan dictated, but as Ye Yuan talked more and more, the young woman had to take out a pen and paper and start recording.

While recording, the young woman marveled at Ye Yuan's traditional Chinese medicine. There were so many medicinal materials, and they were of varying weights.

If it was said that Ye Yuan was taken down and the young woman was beaten to death, it would be impossible to believe it.

So there is only one possibility that this young man can casually name so many Chinese medicinal materials, and they are of different weights.

That is the young man in front of me, a Chinese medicine practitioner with extremely high attainments in Chinese medicine.

Don't underestimate the ordinary salesperson who sells goods here. The customers they come into contact with in a day are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It can be said that many people who are just learning Chinese medicine may not be as knowledgeable about Chinese medicinal materials as they are.

After talking for several minutes, Ye Yuan finished dictating the medicinal ingredients for preparing tiger bone wine.

The movement here also attracted the attention of several other waiters. At first, everyone saw Ye Yuan talking here, while the young woman was taking notes with a pen.

No one feels strange. After all, many Chinese medicine practitioners will come to pick up the medicine in person, so it is impossible for others to bring the prescription. Therefore, it is common for the salesperson to record the medicine.

But as time went by, everyone felt something was wrong, even if it was oral, it didn't last that long, right?

When they approached here either accidentally or accidentally, they were all shocked by the medicinal materials Ye Yuan dictated.

It's not that the medicinal materials Ye Yuan wants to buy are precious, but that there are too many types of medicinal materials that Ye Yuan dictates.

The young woman finally wrote down all the medicinal materials, and saw a few little sisters around her looking here from time to time, so she smiled at those people and said:

"If you guys want to get off work on time, then come over and help me get the medicine together, otherwise it will take at least an hour on my own."

This sentence was indeed useful, and several little girls ran over.

After the few pages of paper in the young woman's hands were distributed to several waiters who came over, a strange scene appeared in the Anyong Hall.

I saw a young man standing in front of the counter.

But the five waiters were rushing between the medicine cabinets, weighing some traditional Chinese medicines, then wrapping them and delivering them to Ye Yuan.

The five people worked hard for 20 minutes to get all the hundreds of traditional Chinese medicines that Ye Yuan asked for.

As expected of a time-honored brand, so many medicinal materials were available in one store. Ye Yuan was very satisfied.

According to his original plan, he would be satisfied if he could buy most of the medicinal materials here, but he didn't expect that it would be so hassle-free to get them all in one store.

"Sir, we also provide medicine brewing business, do you think?"

The young woman from before spoke to Ye Yuan much more politely than before.

"Oh thank you, I won't need those"

The young woman knew that many traditional Chinese medicine doctors didn't like pharmacies that used machinery to brew medicine, so she didn't take it seriously. She wrote out the cashier's receipt and handed it to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan did not rush to check out, but went to the counter selling medicine-pounding tools and bought several traditional medicine-pounding tools such as a medicine-pounding pestle, a medicine boat...

These tools were originally available on Ye Yuan's Yuwan Island, but because he was in a hurry to get out, he didn't bring them with him, and he didn't have much money anyway, so he bought another set and put them in the space for backup.

I came to the cashier, settled all the accounts, returned to the medicine table, picked up the medicinal materials and tools, and then strode out of Anyong Hall.

As soon as Ye Yuan left, the young woman who had just received Ye Yuan took a few pages of medicinal materials she had recorded to the second floor.

She was very curious, what kind of prescription could be made from so many medicinal materials?

The reason why she is so curious is because almost half of the medicinal materials Ye Yuan picked up have the effect of strengthening the waist and kidneys. Is this a prescription for tonifying the kidneys?

Thinking of the way her husband held his waist all day long, the young woman's eyes lit up when she looked at the prescription in her hand.

Ye Yuan left Yongantang and took a taxi back to the hotel. After checking his room with his senses, he walked into the bathroom and entered the space.
