Chapter 17: Century-old ginseng
Hearing that this guy still didn't understand the reason for transferring him out of the purchasing department, he still wanted to go back. Xia Zhu is also a little angry.
"Uh... Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, then I'd better go back. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Lei was very unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face.
As he spoke, he was about to leave the office, and the moment he walked out, Zhao Lei's eyes swept over the two little girls.
One is the daughter of a pear seller who makes herself embarrassed and thrown home, and the other is the daughter of her boss.
Xia Zhu asked him to work as a vegetable washer instead of being a lobby manager. For him, it's like being a lobby manager or leaving.
As for the vegetable washer, if he did it, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
But the most important thing is that a restaurant supplier agreed to lend him money to repay the loan shark he owed for buying a car.
And now that he is not even a soldier in the purchasing department, then this borrowing will obviously come to naught.
And none of those who are usurers are good. The consequences of not having money to pay back are even more unimaginable.
After exiting the room, Zhao Lei suddenly had a thought in his heart, and a fierce sneer flashed on his face.
"Wang... Wangwang"
A dog bark startled Zhao Lei, who was laughing.
"Damn brute, ask labor and management to slaughter you to make hot pot again. ”
After saying that, he walked to the lobby.
Inside the office.
Seeing Zhao Lei retreat, Xia Zhu still had anger on his face.
As Jiang Yihuan, who is not a member of the restaurant, he can't say anything, and he looks a little embarrassed.
The two little girls did not seem to be affected by this, and were chattering and playing like two little sparrows.
And the black dog who came in at the end found himself a comfortable place to lie down and sleep as soon as he entered the door.
Seeing the unnaturalness on Jiang Yihuan's face, Xia Zhu sneered and said.
"I didn't discipline you, why do you have this expression. ”
At this time, Xia Zhu and when he just reprimanded Zhao Lei were like two people, seeing that Jiang Yihuan still didn't know what to say, Xia Zhu continued.
"That's right, Xiao Huan. Yesterday you asked me to contact about selling ginseng, and there has been a reply. ”
"Really, so quickly. ”
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Yihuan became interested. The spirit was shocked, and some couldn't wait.
"Miss Ben is out of the horse, a top two. Handle your little thing, and you can't get it right. But..."
"But what?"
Jiang Yihuan hurriedly asked.
"But you'll have to go there yourself, he seems to have something to do these days. ”
Xia Zhu said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, you give me his address and contact information, I'll just run it myself, I'm going to sell something." There's no need for people to come to me. ”
Jiang Yihuan waved his hand.
Then Xia Zhu gave a brief introduction.
"The person who wants to collect wild ginseng is named Liu Qingshan, an old man over sixty years old, and people who know him call him Liu Lao. His old man is the Taishan Beidou in the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Jindu, and the Jirentang he opened is the most famous private pharmaceutical company in Jindu. But it seems to have been going through something tricky lately. A wild ginseng is urgently needed for medicine. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Zhu wrote Liu Lao's address and contact information on a slip of paper and handed it to Jiang Yihuan.
Jiang Yihuan took the note and looked at the two little girls who were playing.
I wanted to call Jiang Tingting.
"You go now, Xiao Tingting will stay with me, you can rest assured. They had so much fun. ”
Xia Zhu said
"Okay, Xiao Tingting will stay first, then I will trouble you. I'm going to go back quickly. ”
With that, Jiang Yihuan walked out of the room quickly.
A few minutes after Jiang Yihuan left, Xia Zhu was about to pick up the cup and prepare to make himself a cup of coffee, when the knock on the door came in again.
Putting down the cup, Xia Zhu shouted at the door.
"Come in. ”
"Mr. Xia, I think... I would like to take a leave of absence. ”
As soon as this person came in, Xia Zhu was startled, and he saw him pressing his forehead with one hand.
There was blood flowing out of his fingers, it was Zhao Lei who had not been out for a long time.
"You, why did you get like this in such a moment?"
Saying that, Xia Zhu hurriedly brought a tissue and handed it over.
"When I was in the lobby just now, I didn't notice that the floor had just been dragged over, and I accidentally slipped and hit the table. ”
Zhao Lei explained.
"Then why don't you go to the hospital quickly, what are you doing? ”
Xia Zhu urged him to go to the hospital quickly, and at the same time picked up his mobile phone and prepared to call someone to accompany him.
Leaving the office, Zhao Lei sent away Xia Zhu's colleagues who had arranged for him to accompany him.
went out of the restaurant alone.
And the other side.
Jiang Yihuan drove his newly bought van and sped all the way.
It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at our destination.
Take out the wild ginseng from the ancient world of Shennong and put it in a cardboard box.
I got out of the car, and before I entered the door, I smelled a strong smell of herbs.
This is Jirentang.
Although the decoration is not luxurious, unlike some pharmacies, it gives people a feeling of inferiority without money before entering the door.
On the contrary, the decoration of every place in Jiren Hall is reflected in practicality, giving people a warm feeling.
"Are you here to see a doctor? ”
Seeing that Jiang Yihuan was looking around from the moment he entered the door, a quiet-looking girl came over and asked politely.
"I'm here to find Liu Qingshan and Liu Lao. Please help me inform him, and the lobbyist will introduce me to Mr. Xia of Xiang Restaurant. ”
Jiang Yihuan responded politely.
"Okay, you wait. ”
The girl said yes and walked inside.
It didn't take long for the girl to come out and say apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Liu Lao has something to do now. I can't leave, but he asked me to tell you that I'll come out as soon as I'm done. ”
"Oh, okay. Then I'll wait. ”
Before Jiang Yihuan came, Xia Zhu told him that this old Liu had encountered tricky things in the past few days, and he had already prepared in his heart.
The wait was always long, about an hour or so.
A white-haired old man about sixty years old walked out of it, and he saw that he was walking vigorously, and he couldn't see the state of Long Zhong.
But the tired look between his eyebrows did not escape Jiang Yihuan's detection.
Jiang Yihuan felt that he should be the old Liu mentioned by Xia Zhu.
Walking closer, Jiang Yihuan spoke first.
"You should be Liu Lao, hello. My name is Jiang Yihuan, and I was introduced by Xia Zhu. ”
"Oh, you have a wild ginseng that you want to sell?"
Liu Lao saw that the person in front of him was handsome and his eyes were like stars. I can't tell that it's a mountain baby who grew up in the countryside.
In fact, I don't blame others for misunderstanding, Jiang Yihuan has been away from the mountain village to go to college for several years. In addition, he drank the spiritual spring as water in the past few days, and he himself felt a little different from before.
"Yes, Liu Lao. You see. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Yihuan took out the box containing wild ginseng and was about to open it.
"Let's go inside and talk. ”
After speaking, he led Jiang Yihuan into the back room.
When the two entered the house, Liu Lao made two cups of tea, picked up one and handed it to Jiang Yihuan and said slowly.
"I'm getting older, and I'm a little overwhelmed. ”
As he spoke, he took a sip and continued.
"Young man, open the box for me to see. ”
"Okay, you give the palm of your hand. ”
Jiang Yihuan opened the box directly.
"You... You wild ginseng..."
Liu Lao, who was still drinking tea with an indifferent face, seemed to be unable to speak at the moment the box was opened.
"It's a good thing! It's really rare to see! ”
Liu Lao's hands kept trembling slightly, and he kept muttering to himself. There was even more shock in his eyes.
