Chapter 9 Pharmacy
The Chu family's mansion is very large, but Chu Xiu, the concubine's son who is not valued on weekdays, lives not much. He is just an ordinary small courtyard, smaller than the other three brothers.
Combined with the memories of two lives, except for some important things, Chu Xiu was still a little confused about the rest of the things. He left the conference hall. After thinking for a while, he remembered where he lived.
He pushed open the gate of his courtyard, and Gao Bei was waiting inside. When he saw Chu Xiu coming back, Gao Bei greeted him and said, "Young Master, the discussion is over? Do you want to have a meal? The villain will prepare for you?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, where is the pharmacy where the family receives the cultivation resources? I haven't received the cultivation resources this year, so I should have accumulated a lot, right?"
Gao Bei's mouth moved. He wanted to say something, but he held it back.
Chu Xiu said lightly: "I know what you want to say. Do you want to say that I was not qualified to collect it before? Now that I have gone there, I may not be willing to give it to you, right?"
Gao Bei smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to answer the conversation. In fact, Chu Xiu knew what was going on.
As a concubine's son, Chu Xiu was not valued since childhood. He did not have the guidance of his family elders when he was time to practice. When he had missed the best period of cultivation, the Chu family sent a guard to teach him how to practice martial arts.
Every direct bloodline of the Chu family is qualified to receive a training resource every month, but these things have not fallen into Chu Xiu's hands since childhood and have been taken away by others. That person is Chu Kai, the eldest son of the Chu family.
Chu Xiu himself dared not complain to Chu Zongguang for such a thing, and the people in the pharmacy would not talk much, so he defaulted to giving Chu Kai the cultivation resource that he should give to Chu Xiu.
So Chu Kai's strength is now higher than Chu Xiu and others, and it has a lot of contributions to the former "Chu Xiu".
Chu Xiu looked directly at Gao Bei and said, "Remember, those are the rules of the past. Now, some rules need to be changed."
Gao Bei was stared at Chu Xiu's eyes and he nodded quickly.
"Lead the way."
The Chu family's pharmacy is very lively, and there is a single area that is all within the pharmacy.
In fact, although the pharmacy is called a pharmacy, it produces two kinds of medicines.
One type is the kind of injury medicine sold to the people of Jianghu. After the pharmacy is finished, it is taken to the Chu family’s shop in Tongzhou Prefecture for sale.
Another type is Qi Buqi San and Blood Coagulation Pill, which can assist warriors in practicing.
These elixir materials are very precious, and some materials are not available in Tongzhou Prefecture. They need to be purchased outside through caravans. The failure rate of refining is also very high, so this type of elixir is basically not sold and is only for use by internal personnel of the Chu family.
At this time, Gao Bei brought Chu Xiu to the pharmacy. Some servants and managers in the pharmacy looked at Chu Xiu's eyes. After all, they had never seen this second young master here. Why did he come to the pharmacy today?
Chu Xiu pushed open a door, and inside was a pharmacy manager in his forties, dressed in brocade.
There are several managers in the pharmacy. The person in front of him is only responsible for distributing cultivation resources to the disciples of the Chu family, not the general manager.
At this moment, he saw someone suddenly pushing the door and coming in. He subconsciously sat upright. However, after seeing that the person coming was Chu Xiu, he immediately leaned on the chair and asked casually: "So it's the second young master. I don't know why the second young master came to my pharmacy?"
At this time, Gao Bei, who was following Chu Xiu, smiled and said, "Manager Zhou, this is the case. The young master is here to collect his cultivation resources for the past year."
Manager Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sneered: "Second Young Master is looking for happiness with me? Your cultivation resources have always been obtained by the eldest young master. What do you care about me?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Then why do you want to give my cultivation resources to the eldest son? I returned the words to my father?"
Manager Zhou was stunned when he heard this. Who else should I say anything about this kind of thing? When the eldest son took your cultivation resources, you didn’t even dare to say anything. Of course, they wouldn’t talk too much.
Now Chu Xiu came to question him, which made Manager Zhou feel that Chu Xiu was just in trouble, but he never cared about this second young master who had never been valued in the family.
Manager Zhou snorted coldly and said, "If the second young master is dissatisfied with the eldest young master taking your cultivation resources, you can go directly to the eldest young master to ask for it. If you want to vent your anger on me, you may be thinking too much!"
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a look of danger, but at this moment, a man suddenly ran in, slapped Manager Zhou to the ground, and cursed: "Bold! Do you dare to talk to the second young master like this? Is there any higher or lower rank?"
Manager Zhou covered his face and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Master Manager, why are you..."
"Shut up! There is no place for you to speak here!"
The pharmacy's chief manager shouted immediately and interrupted him.
The pharmacy manager was a little fat. He turned to face Chu Xiu, and his face immediately became extremely gentle from the vicious spirit that had just happened.
"The people under my sensible are not sensible. Please forgive me. I have saved your cultivation resources for you in the pharmacy, and I will not miss a portion. Recently, the alchemist has refined a new furnace of blood coagulation pills of excellent quality. I also gave you a bottle, so I will pack it for you."
As he said that, the pharmacy manager immediately ordered someone to pack the things and give them respectfully to Chu Xiu, and personally sent them out.
Turning around and closing the door, the big manager looked at the manager Zhou who was still covering his face and looking dull, and sighed: "I just slapped that but for your own good, if I don't slap you, you will be in trouble today."
There are so many managers in the pharmacy, and Manager Zhou is his confidant, so Manager Zhou slapped him without saying a word.
Of course, Manager Zhou dared not complain now. He just said strangely: "Master Zhu, why are you so polite to the second young master Chu...?"
In fact, Manager Zhou wanted to be humble, and the appearance of the big manager just now could be called a servile one.
The chief manager shook his head and said, "Remember, be more polite to the second son in the future, and even more polite to the other three sons. This second son is not the second son of the past."
As he said that, the chief manager told him what had happened in the Chu family's conference hall before.
The chief pharmacy is also one of the powerful figures in the Chu family's management. He just stood in the conference hall and witnessed everything throughout the process.
Chu Xiu was so crazy before that he almost beat Housekeeper Liu to death in front of everyone. He looked at that posture so cold all over.
As for Manager Zhou over there, he shivered all over after hearing this.
There is also a difference between the manager and the housekeeper. He is the lowest-level one, and the butler Liu is the highest-level one. When he sees Butler Liu, he always bows his head to salute.
As a result, even Butler Liu was almost beaten to pieces by the second young master on the spot. He dared to be so rude to him just now. Manager Zhou felt that he was just trying to die.
Manager Zhou hurriedly cried to the boss and said with gratitude: "If you weren't a boss this time, the villain would be in trouble."
The big manager sighed and said, "Remember, although we are all managers of the Chu family, the servants are always servants. If you forget your identity, the consequences will be very serious.
Just like the Liu Guan family, I forgot my identity, but now I will not only lose my face, but also lie in bed for a few months."
On the way back to his courtyard, Gao Bei couldn't help but say to Chu Xiu: "Young Master, you are so powerful just now. You are so polite to the pharmacy manager."
"You're welcome?" Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "That's not polite, that's awe. Good and evil are both sides. If you can't be so kind that everyone respects you, then you can only be so evil that everyone is afraid of you."
Gao Bei shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't understand."
Chu Xiu pushed open the gate of the courtyard: "Of course you don't understand. If you understand, you wouldn't have been in trouble for so many years and didn't even get into a manager."
Looking at the slightly empty courtyard, Chu Xiu said to Gao Bei: "Go and find some wooden stakes to stand in the courtyard."
"What do you want to do with wooden stakes?"
A trace of splendor appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes and said, "Practice the knife!"
If you want to advance in the martial arts path, all you need is talent, perseverance, opportunity, and understanding. No matter what you want to reach the top, you must be.
For Chu Xiu now, his talent can only be said to be a middle-aged man. He doesn't know the understanding for the time being. As for the opportunity, Chu Xiu knows a lot, but he doesn't have the strength and can't get it.
So now Chu Xiu can only work hard on perseverance.
Gao Bei went to prepare the wooden stakes, and saw that it was getting dark, and he also sent someone to bring supper.
Although his high proficiency is average, he can be considered conscientious and careful in his work.
When he returned to his house, Chu Xiu took out all the pills he received from the pharmacy, including two packs of Qi Polymer per month, and twenty-four packs a year, but the pharmacy manager gave him thirty packs.
There are also blood coagulation pills, three a year, but there are ten in Chu Xiu's bottle, and all of them are of high quality.
This Qi-Replenishing Dispersion is relatively simple to prepare. It is just grinding some herbs into powder according to a certain ratio and mixing them together. It can replenish qi and strengthen the body and assist in cultivation. However, some of the medicines are more precious and cannot be bought in Tongzhou Prefecture.
As for the blood coagulation pill, as the name suggests, it is used to help warriors condense the qi and blood in their bodies and impact the blood coagulation realm. It requires special alchemists to refine it. The process is complicated and there is a chance of failure. Even the Chu family dares to refine one furnace every month.
He took out a pack of Qi-replenishing powder and swallowed it with water. After a while, Chu Xiu felt a heat flow rising from his body. He quickly began to run the innate qi and refine this medicinal power.
