C23 Medicinal Herbs Market

In fact, the weather in the East China Sea was humid and rainy, which was not suitable for growing medicinal herbs. Hearing that there was a Chinese medicinal herbs market in the East China Sea, he found it strange, so Xu Zhe asked in confusion, "What are the source of these medicinal herbs?"

"Some of the simpler herbs are grown by them, but there are also some people from the provinces who live in the East China Sea and sell them at wholesale …" Lin Chun explained to Xu Zhe, "The situation in the wholesale market is quite complicated, I can't explain it clearly for a while!"

Lin Chun drove out of Eastsea City and arrived at Qingyang Town, on the west side of the agricultural university on Phoenix Road in the outskirts of Eastsea City. This town was next to Eastsea's international airport and was convenient to pass through.

The market wasn't big, but there were quite a lot of pharmacists. They had gathered here from all over the country, and the moment they had entered the market, they could smell the strong aroma of medicinal herbs, which Xu Zhe had not tasted for a long time.

According to Lin Chun, this place was divided into two streets. The East Street was full of pharmacists, and every pharmacist had their own store, while the West Street was filled with herb pickers. As for the herb pickers, they were much simpler.

The price on the East Street was open to the public, and the common herbs were basically the same in every household. However, the West Street was different. The prices varied and the quality was uneven. Wild medicinal herbs and growing medicinal herbs were a mixture of both based on buyer's eyesight.

"The biggest pharmacists here are the Church of Virtue and the Hall of Mercy. "The quality of the medicinal herbs is excellent, and the price is suitable as well. Why don't we go take a look first?" Lin Chun asked.

"Alright, let's go and take a look at these two houses." Xu Zhe replied.

Ji Shi Tang and Tong Ren Tang were the same, they had existed in the East China Sea for a hundred years, and had a high reputation in the medical industry.

"You're a western doctor, how do you know so much about the Chinese medicine market?" Hearing Lin Chun's introduction, Xu Zhe teased.

"Don't forget, I learned Chinese medicine after all. I was in this area before too. " When it came to learning Chinese medicine, Lin Chun said proudly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Hall of Helplessness first."

Lin Chun then led Xu Zhe to a pharmacy and said to Xu Zhe, "This is the Hall of Healing. The herbs inside are quite authentic and the price is also appropriate."

Xu Zhe looked up and a golden plaque came into view. It said "Hall of Appreciation" in large gold letters, and looking inside, the shop's decorations were very quaint, with three big medicine cabinets, and an incense burner in the center. A wisp of green smoke drifted out of the furnace, instantly awakening Xu Zhe. All of the shop assistants were wearing long sleeves, giving off a feeling as if they were passing through time.

As soon as he entered, a man in a long gown came over and greeted Xu Zhe, "Hello, I'm the shopkeeper here. Zhang Rulong, what can I do for you?"

"Can you bring some medicinal ingredients out for me to take a look?" Xu Zhe asked.

"Sure, please wait a moment." Zhang Rulong turned around and walked to the medicine cabinet behind him. He picked up some herbs and passed them to Xu Zhe.

Xu Zhe held the herb in his hand, sniffed it with his nose and carefully checked its quality. After all, medicinal herbs were not like other things. Not only could inferior quality herbs not cure diseases, but they could also endanger the lives of patients.

"It's okay. Let's go see other people before coming back. We'll be back later. " Xu Zhe said. As the saying goes, the goods are worth more than the three families. Although the herbs of the Hall of Healing are not bad, they are still lacking a little bit in Xu Zhe's eyes.

"Sure." Zhang Rulong was very confident in the herbs in his shop. Even in the entire medicine market, he was one of the best. He was not worried about not being able to sell them. For a small client like Xu Zhe, he didn't care at all.
