Chapter 64: Refusing to help
"Excessive?" Fang Bei took over the conversation and muttered. "I said buddy, people didn't take off one of your arms and thighs, it's already very polite, okay?
Xiao Liang nodded thoughtfully, and then had an idea, looking at Fang Bei, as if he had suddenly found a life-saving straw. "Fang Bei, can you help me?"
"How do you want me to help you?" Fang Bei saw through the small abacus in the other party's heart at a glance, and he hit the nail on the head. "Do you want me to help you clean up those people so that they can forgive your debts?"
"Yes, yes, you are so righteous!" Xiao Liang was ecstatic and shook Fang Bei's hand, feeling very excited for a while. If there is such a master to help, why should he need to compensate the other party for a loan of up to 200,000 yuan. From now on, isn't it beautiful to write off that rotten debt?
"Hey, wait a minute. I'm not familiar with you, so I'm not going to help you. Fang Bei withdrew his hand, moved his buttocks, and sat down on the other side.
Xiao Liang smiled a little obscene and a little cunning, his face was full of joy, and said: "Brother, although you and I are not very familiar, but you and Xiaowei don't have an extraordinary relationship? After all, I am your future uncle, what does it matter if you help me?"
"Hey, hey. Fang Bei didn't smile and declared. "First, Xiaowei and I are just ordinary friends, not the kind of relationship you imagined, so you are not my eldest brother; second, it is natural to repay debts, what position and reason do you want me to help you avoid debts? Third, I have already saved your life, and I don't want to care about your mess anymore. ”
Fang Bei made his position clear, and his attitude was unprecedentedly firm. Xiaoliang was speechless for a while, and finally he couldn't get angry, so he went back to his room to rest, and at the same time slammed the door as a vent.
Xiaowei's eldest brother Xiaoliang's personality is the type that Fang Bei looks down on very much. Even for the sake of Xiaowei's face, saving Xiaoliang out of kindness is already the limit of what Fang Bei can do. Xiaoliang still tried to rely on Fang Don't deal with those loan sharks, and he was inevitably suspected of gaining an inch.
Xiaowei crept out of her grandmother's room, and it took a lot of effort for her to lull the old man to sleep, but she didn't want to make a noise and wake up the old man.
"Where's my eldest brother?" asked Xiaowei Fang Bei. Fang Bei pointed out the direction with his eyes, Xiaowei was relieved and muttered to herself. "I thought he had run out again...... Whew, it's okay, it's okay. ”
"I just came back today, so much happened, I guess you're tired, so rest early. Fang Bei said a word, and prepared to go out and find a hotel to stay in.
Originally, Fang Bei planned to live in Xiaowei's house, but the conditions of Xiaowei's house were really limited, and it was estimated that he could only sleep on the sofa if he wanted to live, not to mention uncomfortable, and he would cause trouble for no reason. Rather than that, he might as well go out and live. What's more, on the other hand, he and Xiaoliang really can't get along. Although there is no conflict, they are not friends at the same time.
"I'll go with you to the hotel. Xiaowei proposed, but was stopped by Fang Bei. "No, I'll have to send you back then, isn't it even more twisty and difficult?"
"Okay then, I'll go to you tomorrow morning and take you to the Chinese medicine market in the south of the city. Xiaowei sent Fang Bei to the door, waved her hand, and signaled goodbye.
Fang Bei wandered around for a few minutes, found the nearest hotel, prepaid for three days, and stayed temporarily. The first thing he did when he entered the room was to take off his clothes and take a cool shower in the bathroom. The fatigue caused by the rush and the influence of all kinds of trivial things are washed away from the body.
After taking a bath in a comfortable way, Fang Bei lay on the bed with his back to the sky, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call to Han Yu'er. The purpose of this phone call, in addition to reporting to his daughter-in-law Han Yu'er, is also to complain.
On the morning of the second day when he came to H City, Fang Bei met Xiaowei at the time he had agreed with Xiaowei the night before. The two took a taxi together to the Chinese medicine market in the south of the city.
The distance from Wandongshan to the south of the city is relatively far, and there are unexpected situations such as red lights from time to time along the way. It took the two of them nearly an hour to reach their destination.
As soon as he stepped into the entrance of the Chinese medicine market, Fang Bei smelled a strong smell of herbs. Xiaowei looked at the seemingly endless stalls and vendors in the market, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, I grew up in H Town, and I have never been here, so I was really shocked by such a grand occasion." ”
"How can ordinary people come to the Chinese medicine market if they have nothing to do?" Fang Bei echoed. According to the owner of the pharmacy, most of the people who come here are here to buy medicinal materials in large quantities, and there are very few customers like him and Xiaowei.
"With such a big market, where can we find the medicinal materials we need?" Xiaowei, as a layman, had a headache when she saw the dazzling array of medicinal materials that she couldn't name at the same time.
Fang Bei observed for a moment, and he noticed that although there were many stalls in the market, most of the medicinal herbs sold in the stalls were carefully classified, and the types of medicinal herbs on each stall were almost no more than ten. In this way, the traditional Chinese medicine market should have some constraints on these merchants and try to avoid some unnecessary contradictions.
"Just find one and ask me. Fang Bei said a word to Xiaowei, and then stepped forward and asked a seller who looked like an uncle. "Excuse me, where can I find Poria in this market?"
"You want to buy Poria cocos? It's not the right time yet, and I guess you may not be able to buy it. Because the fresh batch has not yet been harvested, and the rest has probably been bought. "The seller's attitude is quite enthusiastic, and he does not ignore it because Fang Bei is not spending at his house. "You can keep going, and when you get to the end and turn left, there's a big merchant there, and he buys a lot of medicinal herbs, and if you're lucky, maybe you can buy some. ”
Fang Bei nodded and smiled, and politely thanked the other party. Then greeted Xiaowei, without squinting, and walked directly to the depths of the market. Soon, according to the guidance of the enthusiastic seller, the two found the so-called big merchant as they wished. Although the area of this big businessman's shop is only about two rooms, it is undoubtedly very important and stylish compared to the many stalls outside.
"What do you two need?" The only person in the shop, dressed in an old-fashioned gown, wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and a mustache, gave the first impression of being shrewd and capable.
"I don't know what you call the boss?" Feeling the extraordinaryness of the other party, Fang Bei didn't directly explain his intentions.
The shrewd merchant smiled slightly, pointed to the gold-lettered sign in the store, "Gu's Herbs", and he spoke eloquently. "My surname is Gu, and my name is Yifan. As the 10th generation of our Gu family, our family has been growing, harvesting, and preparing various Chinese herbs since the Qing Dynasty. The medicinal herbs you buy in my store are guaranteed to be absolutely superior and authentic. Tong Suo is not bullied, and the fake one pays ten!"
Fang Bei and Xiaowei looked at each other and smiled, Gu Yifan is not a big businessman, and his ability to advertise is really extraordinary, one after another, which makes people stunned.
"Mr. Gu, I have a recipe here, I need a few medicinal herbs recorded on it, I don't know if you can provide it here. Fang Bei said, took out the prescription that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it over. He had already bought some of them yesterday, so he had deliberately crossed them out with a slash.
Gu Yifan quickly browsed it and said briskly: "Of course, the two of you need all these medicinal materials in our store." How many catties do you want to buy, I can give you a discount depending on the situation. ”
How many pounds? Don't hear this measure word, and almost vomit blood. He is not a person who resells medicinal herbs, he just buys some for Xiaowei's grandmother to treat her illness, and he doesn't need that much at all. If a few catties of medicine are eaten, it is estimated that Grandma Xiaowei will be eaten sick if she is not sick. Fang Bei said seriously: "Mr. Gu, please give me about seven or eight yuan for each medicinal material, thank you." ”
