Chapter 23: herb
If it wasn't for Willy brought by Kool himself, Radas would never believe that this seemingly immature child turned out to be a hunter.
Hunters are a very respectable profession, especially for their medicinal herb dealers. Whenever they need to go into the wild to pick medicinal herbs, they will pay a lot of money to hire a hunter as a guide. In a field full of dangers at all times, a good hunter can help gatherers avoid many dangers, and even some experienced hunters know more about planting than those herbalists.
A smile appeared on Ladas' face: "Hello, Willy, my name is Ladas, and I am the owner of this pharmacy."
Although he knew that Willy was a hunter, Radas was not excited about it. Because Willy is so young, he must not have been a hunter for too long. It is impossible for such a young hunter to have extensive experience in planting grass.
"Hello, I'm Kool's friend. He asked me to solve the trouble of sorting your medicinal materials."
From Radas' expression, Willy could see that he was not very eager for his arrival.
Willy understands Radas' psychology. After all, it's hard for people to trust him with his youthful appearance.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm, but..."
Although Radas understood Kuhl's good intentions, his distrust of Willy made him instinctively refuse.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kool, who had already seen Ladas' perfunctory, he needed to use other methods to attract the boss's attention: "By the way, boss, not only is Willy young He has become an excellent hunter, and his brother is also very good, the Thorps I introduced to you before."
"Thorpes?"
Radas' eyes lit up.
Thorpes, that was a member of the guard of Baron Kells, Lord of Diamond Town. Just yesterday, he passed the junior knight attendant assessment held by Baron Kells and became a member of the Guards. For a small businessman like Ladas, Thorpes' identity is quite deterrent. If a member of the Baron's Guard or the Guard wants to target a small businessman like him, it's not too easy.
The reason why Radas values Kool is that in addition to the qualities of Kool, there is also the factor of Thorps. When he knew the relationship between Cool and Thorps, he immediately met Thorpes through Cool's line. He knew that building a friendship with such a person was the wisest choice.
The fact is as he expected, shortly after getting to know Thorps, Ladas was calculated by his competitors. In order to stir up the business of Huang Ladas, the competitors hired hooligans who had nothing to do in several towns to come to Ladas. Shop messed up. Radas found Thorps immediately, and Thorps was also very straightforward. After revealing his identity, he scared the mischievous guys into hell, and there has been no similar trouble in the store since then.
So, whenever Thorps needed Kuhl to deliver a message home, Radas would not hesitate to grant leave.
"It turned out to be Mr. Thorpes' brother!"
Radas's face immediately showed enthusiasm and respect that he did not have before: "Thank you for coming here to solve my troubles, I'm really sorry."
"Ok?"
Facing the sudden change of attitude of Radas, Willy was still a little confused for a while. But after a brief thought, I also want to understand the key. Radas seems to value his identity as Thorpes' younger brother.
"It seems that Thorpes' identity has also provided him with a lot of convenience..."
Willie had already guessed it.
In the eyes of nobles, the identity of Baron Kells' bodyguard is a bodyguard at the bottom, but in the eyes of commoners, it is unattainable. Although the salary is not a lot, the status and status have given them a lot of things other than salary.
When he was far away in the countryside before, Willy only felt the envy of the villagers for Thorpes, but now in Diamond Town, he really realized the small businessmen's flattery and ingratiating with the nobles. It seems that before, I still underestimated the identity of my eldest brother Thorpes.
"Having such an identity but not taking advantage of it, even asking the family to scrape together money to buy supplies for the assessment... My big brother is really a straightforward person..."
Willie secretly complained that if Thorps was a little more tactful, he would use his identity to scrape rich oil and water from these small businessmen. However, according to the records in the original memory, Thorps is honest and frank, and he is really not good at operating this way.
"This time I've worked hard for you, brother Willy. Whether I can sort out this batch of medicinal materials or not, I will pay you a hard fee."
The shrewd Ladas has begun to develop a relationship with Willy.
"Follow me."
Radas walked towards the backyard of the pharmacy with Willy and Kool.
As soon as he walked into the backyard, Willy smelled a strong herbal smell, which was caused by the fact that herbs were often dried here.
Radas entered a room in the backyard and took out a large wooden box. After opening it, there were mixed fragments of medicinal herbs and grasses inside.
"That's all. The fragments of herbs and grasses are mixed so badly that those herbalists can't sort them out."
There was a touch of pain in Radas' eyes.
Willy squatted down, the smell of medicinal herbs coming towards him.
He stretched his hand into the shards of grass, tossed it a few times, and then squeezed out a few fragments for repeated comparison.
After some investigation, Willy finally understood why the herbalists couldn't sort the pieces of herbs and grass in this box.
The fact that it was too broken was only one of the reasons. Another important factor was that the shapes of these medicinal fragments in the box were too similar. Direct sorting, the probability of error is too high.
"Mum grass, vine incense, voga leaves..."
Willy said to himself the herbs mixed in the box.
Radas was right next to Willy. He was stunned when he heard Willy accurately name the medicinal herbs mixed in the box.
Just looking at it and flipping through it with his hands, Willy has accurately identified the types of these herbs and grasses! You know, even a veteran herbal trader like him cannot easily distinguish these three herbs that are mixed together.
Originally thought that Willy was just here to go through the motions, but he didn't expect Willy to be able to solve his own troubles.
Radas's heart finally ignited hope: "Brother Willy, if you help me solve this problem, then I will definitely give you a rich reward."
Willy frowned and replied in a low voice to Radas: "These three medicinal herbs are difficult to distinguish by themselves. Now they are mixed together again. It is really difficult to completely separate them... I will try my best."
