Chapter 136: Jishi Pharmacy
Although Haoxing Xiuyu had maintained the greatest restraint, he saw Xie Sanyang and Xie Eryang chattering endlessly about their family's affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info couldn't help but get up and say goodbye, since the matter has been arranged, it seems that Xie Sanyang does not plan to implement it today, so there is no need for him to sit here.
Don't look at Xie Sanyang who hasn't talked to Haoxing Xiuyu all the time, but his heart is like a mirror, he just wants to drag it until dark, and then have a family banquet with the fairy sister, then the relationship will be closer. However, Haoxing Xiuyu didn't seem to give him this opportunity, and Xie Sanyang had to end the conversation with the second brother in a hurry, and also got up to leave. Because it is impossible for him to leave his sister to eat alone, or to stay here and talk about housework, this is a basic principle.
It was already dusk, and the two walked out into the street again.
At this time, Xie Sanyang couldn't pretend to be reserved and didn't speak, and apologized for his sister-in-law's recklessness and his own family affairs for neglecting Haoxing Xiuyu.
In fact, Xie Sanyang knew that Haoxing Xiuyu would not care about neglecting her, because she was the kind of cold person, but the excessive enthusiasm of the little sister-in-law was the point. At this time, Haoxing Xiuyu really no longer refused to thank Sanyang Yu for eight hundred miles, and also picked up the conversation, saying that she knew that the woman had good intentions, but she was not used to it. Although the words of the two were still very few, they finally got closer.
The next morning everyone met, and the people who had gone out on the previous night had nothing to gain as expected. After that, Xie Sanyang and the two set off again.
In other words, Xie Eryang's medicine hall's business is to undertake the rough processing of some rare medicinal materials in Jishitang. In addition, Xie Sanyang once gave Xie Eryang a lot of money, and now his business has also expanded, and there are several truckloads of medicinal materials to be transported in and out every day, so it is really okay to take Xie Sanyang and the two of them. At this time, the identities of Xie Sanyang and Haoxing Xiuyu were the two apprentices of Xie's Pharmacy, and their job was to enter the pharmacy of Jishitang, learn to distinguish medicinal materials, and then take up simple tasks such as picking up goods and loading trucks.
Xie Eryang had a special explanation for the shopkeeper and the guys, giving these two people ten days, let them mainly learn to identify medicinal materials, and take the exam after ten days, and if they fail the exam, they will get out, so the others are too lazy to assign them any tasks. After all, it's all like this, and no one is embarrassed by anyone. In this way, it is conceivable that the two of them have a space to move freely in the Jishitang Pharmacy.
To be honest, this Jishi Medicine Hall is really extraordinary. Not only is he the largest distribution center for medicinal herbs in the Tang Kingdom, but also large medicinal herb merchants from surrounding countries will also come here to trade! Although the space in the compound is as big as four or five football fields, there are hills of herbs everywhere, and with hundreds of busy people, it seems that this space is not spacious.
The air is mixed with all kinds of medicinal smells, and it doesn't smell good. Old man Zhao, who was driving the cart, took Xie Sanyang and the others to the courtyard, and said very kindly: "The boss said that your time is only ten days, these ten days are not much, you can see that there are hundreds of ordinary medicinal materials piled up on the ground alone, and I won't let you do other work." You look around, and if you don't understand something, come and ask us. If the nurses of Jishitang ask you, you can just say that it is the apprentice of Lao Zhao of the Xie Clan's Medicine Hall, and they will not be embarrassed for you!"
Xie Sanyang hurriedly thanked him, and after greeting the pharmacists in Xie's Medicine Hall, the two of them moved. Since they are basically dressed in the same way as the other medicine hall guys, the two of them naturally won't attract the attention of others.
For most of the day, the two of them pretended to look around for medicinal herbs, but they quickly walked around. This compound is naturally very large, the houses are all in the eastern half, and there are warehouses with a length of 100 meters on the north and south sides, and there are four gates on each side of the warehouse. The guys, pharmacists, and bookkeepers came and went at will. The two of them also mixed in and watched. But they are all neatly stacked sacks of sacks, and medicine cabinets for storing rare herbs, and there is nothing suspicious other than that.
In front of the main hall of the East Courtyard, there is a pool about the size of two basketball courts, and the pool is filled with living water that flows from a small river in the south of the city to the rest of the city. There is a small wooden bridge over the pond that leads to the main hall of the East Courtyard. The suspicious place was there, the two watched for most of the day, and they didn't see anyone coming in or out. And from the outside, the two warehouses on both sides are connected to the main hall, but the corridor to the corner of the main house is blocked, obviously not allowing traffic.
"I can't see anything in the courtyard, it shouldn't be anything, it seems that we have to find a way to enter this main house!" Xie Sanyang said to Hao Xingxiu Yu by a pile of herbs.
"This is a bit difficult, you see the two nursing homes drinking tea on the chairs on both sides of the wooden bridge, obviously blocking people!" Haoxing Xiuyu frowned slightly.
Xie Sanyang nodded: "Yes, it's almost as imagined! Even if they are really hidden here, it is impossible for us to see it at a glance." What does Sister Xiuyu think!"
Haoxing Xiuyu's eyes were cold: "Please call me Haoxing Xiuyu!"
Xie Sanyang originally wanted to use the task as a cover to narrow the distance between him and Haoxing Xiuyu, but it didn't seem to work very well, but he said a little tricky: "I heard Jiang Yufeng call you like that, and you didn't say anything, why did he call me so much!"
Haoxing Xiuyu snorted coldly and said, "Our two families have always been in contact, but I am not familiar with you!"
Xie Sanyang pursed his lips, knowing that it was enough to stop: "Okay, but your four words are too long, I'll call you Xiuyu! Xiuyu, do you have any ideas, I think, we have to enter that East House!"
Haoxing Xiuyu didn't think about it anymore, listened to Xie Sanyang's words, nodded and said: "However, you still have to find a way to figure out the surface situation first, I see that you have chatted with that handlebar type Uncle Zhao all the way, and it is better to take the opportunity to find out the details from him first, and then make a decision!"
Xie Sanyang's eyes lit up and said: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I only think about those cultivators, but I forgot about this stubble, they should at least know who lives here, or what it is ostensibly used for!"
The two made up their minds, since they couldn't see any clues in the courtyard, they had to stare at the main hall and the inner courtyard behind the main hall.
So the two of them picked up one or two herbs from time to time, and then came back to ask the handlebar old man Zhao. Haoxing Xiuyu was also mobilized, and the two of them had Uncle Zhao on the left and Master Zhao on the right, coaxing the old man very happily.
After the last cart of medicine was loaded, it was already dusk, and the two got into the car and sat around Old Man Zhao to finish work and go home.
"Uncle Zhao, you said that such a big business is stronger than the capital of our Xie Pharmacy!" Xie Sanyang began to talk about the topic.
"Hey, then it goes without saying, it is said that people have a million taels of silver every day. However, our owner is not a vegetarian, and behind our Xie Pharmacy is the Xie Business Alliance, which is also a big business!"
After Xie Sanyang broke with him for a while, he glanced at Hao Xing Xiuyu, Hao Xing Xiuyu understood, and said to Lao Zhao: "Master Zhao, what's going on with that pond in their courtyard, it is directly at the door of the main hall, how can you look at it!"
Lao Zhao glanced at Haoxing Xiuyu and said: "What do you know, that's a 'cornucopia', you see that people's business is good." Of course, this pond also has a function, that is, it can be used to extinguish fires. Do you think, most of the herbs in the yard are still dry, in case... What's... It's amazing, so this pond is ready for use!"
Xie Sanyang pretended to be shocked when he heard this: "Ah, there are so many doorways!"
"That's it, some of you dolls are learning!" Lao Zhao was a little old-fashioned.
"I have the opportunity to really see this big man, open my eyes, and increase my knowledge! By the way, Uncle Zhao, this boss lives in the main house, why haven't I seen any movement in the main house for a day, is it in the backyard with his wife and children?"
Hearing this, Old Man Zhao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glared at Xie Sanyang and said, "You kid, why do you ask everything!" After a pause, he said: "Boss Li is very taboo for people to inquire about the affairs of his relatives, don't ask again in the future, be careful that the boss will fire you without waiting for the exam!"
Xie Sanyang and Haoxing Xiuyu were stunned, but they didn't ask again after all. However, back at Xie's Pharmacy, the two of them privately approached Xie Eryang to inquire after closing. However, Xie Eryang said that he and Boss Li of Jishitang had been to the main hall, but he only signed a long-term cooperation agreement, and of course he had never entered the inner courtyard. Usually, Boss Li's entertainment is in the restaurant outside, so no one knows the specific situation of the inner courtyard. As for the situation of the inner family, it is rumored that Boss Li's original eldest wife ran away with someone and married a younger wife, but this wife was not allowed to step out of the inner courtyard for half a step. And this kind of thing, Boss Li naturally doesn't want to be asked! And people who are interested naturally won't ask!
Xie Sanyang and the others shook their heads, it seemed that they had to find out how to find out about the situation in the inner courtyard of Jishitang.
Early the next morning, after walking around the medicine field for a while, the two sneaked out. It was found that there were two corner gates in the inner courtyard leading to the outside, and the one near the south of the city seemed to be locked. At the gate of the city, I happened to find that the men had pulled two carts of vegetables back. Considering that Jishi Pharmacy also has one or two hundred people in the shopkeeper pharmacist nursing home, it is not surprising that one or two carts of vegetables are brought in every day.
In this way, the two of them walked inside and outside the Jishi Medicine Hall for five days, and they were stunned that there were no more abnormal discoveries. If you have to say that it is abnormal, it is that no one in or out of the inner courtyard except for two men who go out every day to pull in two carts of vegetables!
On this side, although He Yao and Bicheng encountered an accident, the enemy was three people together, and the two sides did not even fight, so they slipped away first! They only followed Tangzhou City for most of the circle, but they were found at the bend from the west of the city to the south of the city, and they had no choice but to give up. Coupled with Jiang Yufeng's listening from time to time, Xie Sanyang became more and more pressured.
"Time is running out, it's not the way to go on like this!"
After closing on the fifth day, on the way back, Xie Sanyang said to Haoxing Xiuyu.
"Well, time is secondary, it's a big deal to let Jiang Yufeng or Academician Zhou have a few days of grace. But the problem is that now we know everything we should know inside and outside the Jishitang Courtyard, and we don't see any problems. So for the inner courtyard, we really have to find a way to get in! If it's okay, we'll have to shift the target!"
Haoxing Xiuyu didn't care about the time, but Xie Sanyang didn't think so. As long as he doesn't gain anything within the promised time frame, Jiang Yufeng will definitely not let himself go! Moreover, he has made so many efforts, if something goes wrong on the last issue, then all his efforts will be in vain for himself!
"There is only one risky move!" Xie Sanyang said.
"You said to use an invisibility talisman!" "Since they had talked before, Haoxing Xiuyu was not surprised.
"That's right! If there are ghosts in the inner courtyard, they will definitely do something to those two corner gates and the courtyard wall! The most dangerous place is the safest, so I think it may be smoother to walk from the medicine field to the main house!" Glancing at Haoxing Xiuyu, Xie Sanyang said again: "Tomorrow I will use the invisibility charm to walk over, you will answer in the courtyard, in case I have any accidents, you will go back immediately to report the news!"
"Hmph, what's the answer? Do you think that's all I can do?"
