Chapter 154: The Pharmacy's Greasy
Mu Wenran's eyelids jumped, and she glanced at Jing Anyao, before she could figure it out, Jing Anyao took this stall for her?
"Thank you Gongzi An! The origin of this shopkeeper Chen is not small, I am worried that Wen Ran will suffer a loss, and I ask Gongzi An to help me. Xu Yu saw Jing Anyao come forward in person, although he was a little surprised why he appeared in Mu Wenran's house, but he still thanked him repeatedly.
After lunch, Mu Wenran followed Xu Yu to Chen's pharmacy, which was in this business, and it was more convenient to communicate.
"Mr. Xu, is your shopkeeper in the store at this time?" After Xu Yu signaled Mu Wen to break off, he smiled and stepped forward and arched his hand at the settler.
The middle-aged man known as Mr. Xu raised his eyes impatiently to look at him, continued to take the brush and dance on the notebook, and answered perfunctorily. "What does it matter to you if you're not here, who are you?"
"I'm the shopkeeper of Xu's Pharmacy, Xu Yu." Xu Yu was not annoyed, and arched his hand with a smile again.
Hearing Xu Yu's name, Mr. Xu's expression relaxed, stopped the pen in his hand, glanced at him twice, and then instructed a few young people around him to keep accounts.
"Let's go, Mr. Xu, our shopkeeper really wants to meet you." He casually made a gesture of please, a trace of disdain crossed his eyes, and walked towards the side hall with Xu Yu and Mu Wenran.
Mu Wenran silently followed behind Xu Yu, this Mr. Xu probably regarded them as second-rate goods with his thighs hugged, just imagine that in this county, the number one pharmacy has defected to them Chen's pharmacy, how can other pharmacy not follow suit? I am afraid that soon, Chen's Pharmacy will replace the original location of Xu's Pharmacy.
In the back room of the pharmacy, a short, fat man with two horn beards is holding a greased woman and flirting incessantly, and this scene is really spicy to the extreme.
Mu Wenran hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of seeing these disgusting things with needle eyes.
"What a rarity! I'm still thinking about visiting Shopkeeper Xu in a few days, so you're coming in person? The words are flattering, but the contemptuous demeanor of this fat boss Chen makes people very uncomfortable.
Xu Qi and Mu Wenran each found a stool to sit down, but Mr. Xu, who was standing on the side, suddenly squinted, and only then did he see Mu Wenran's face clearly, and immediately frowned, slapped his face, and jumped to his feet in anger. "Wow, it's all a no-brainer, master, the sneaky girl I told you about a few days ago has really been found! It turned out to be the young man who was in charge of Xu! ”
"That day, you blocked the door tightly, I didn't see anything at all, besides, Boss Chen built this pharmacy so generously, isn't it just to let everyone stop and watch and patronize more? Am I wrong to do that? Mu Wenran was not afraid, but asked Mr. Xu with a smile.
"Huh! You little girl is very sharp......"
"Mr. Xu, okay, don't talk about those useless ones, take Mr. Xu to take a look at the medicinal materials in our inventory! My business is good, you will inevitably be jealous in your heart, in this case, I might as well grant you a privilege, the medicinal materials in my treasury, you can check them at any time, but only one thing, if these medicinal materials have been checked by you again and again, there is no problem, you have to guarantee the reputation of my shop for me, how about it? ”
Shopkeeper Chen disliked Mr. Xu's verbosity, and with a wave of his fat hand, he impatiently blocked his words. "The girl is right, why do you bother with a little girl like this, it's a shame!"
After getting the promise of the shopkeeper Chen, Mu Wenran thanked him obediently, and went to the warehouse to inspect the medicinal materials with Xu Yu, until the sun set, and then said goodbye to the smug shopkeeper Chen.
Mu Wenran dragged his tired body home, pushed the door and saw Zhuying kneeling on the ground and saying something to Jing Anyao, and when he saw her enter the door, he immediately stopped his mouth and stood aside.
"You go ahead and leave me alone." Mu Wenran was so thirsty that he picked up the kettle on the table and poured it several times.
Jing Anyao's face was cold, and he eased up a little when he saw her frizzy appearance. "What did you find?"
Mu Wenran wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth and sneered. "This shopkeeper Chen has a good trick, Master and I turned his medicinal herb warehouse up and down, and the medicinal materials found are all genuine."
She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. "It's just that I haven't been able to turn out a single precious medicinal material."
Mu Wenran pointed to the medicinal herbs drying in the house, which their family used to make some tonic pills. "Don't you think it's strange that you don't even stock up on these most basic, slightly more expensive medicinal herbs?"
Jing Anyao nodded thoughtfully. "You mean that the medicinal materials they use are the worst and cheapest medicinal materials?"
"That's right, only this one explanation can make sense, for example, licorice is warm, the price is cheap, he introduced a large number of licorice as medicine, milled into powder and mixed with it, eating more will only be a little thirsty, in fact, greatly reducing the amount of other drugs, reducing the huge cost, and the medicine that comes out of their pharmacy is mostly tonic, no one will find so much." Mu Wenran gave a simple and rude example, hoping that Jing Anyao would understand.
"I'll meet him in a few days." Jing Anyao nodded.
Will he go to meet the shopkeeper Chen? Mu Wenran's eyes widened, her hands shook, and a sip of tea almost poured into her nose, and she blushed uncomfortably and coughed vigorously.
This guy has been in her house for a long time, and he really thinks of himself as a businessman? If you don't do it, why do you meddle in these things?
"No, no, my master and I can solve it."
"Not necessarily."
Jing Anyao smiled unscrupulously and shook his head again and again, which only aroused Mu Wenran's morale.
"In this way, three days is the limit, if I can't find any handle of Chen's pharmacy within three days, I am willing to gamble and lose, I beg you to do this, how about it?"
"Okay."
Jing Anyao agreed with a faint smile, Mu Wenran drank the last sip of tea, muttered a few words angrily, and went back to his room.
Seeing Mu Wenran, who was leaving in a negative mood, slammed the door shut, Jing Anyao smiled bitterly and pinched the bridge of her nose, she was really an arrogant girl.
"Master, do you really have to wait three days later?" Zhu Ying was a little hesitant, the forces involved behind this shopkeeper Chen were quite extensive, and if he didn't take the lead, it would inevitably become rampant.
"Hide this girl, go and send a letter to Shopkeeper Chen, and see you in the Western Suburbs Teahouse tomorrow." Jing Anyao's eyes sank, and with a faint order, the bamboo shadow disappeared.
After the people in the courtyard dispersed for a long time, the door was slowly pushed open, and Mu Ziyan, who was confused, stared at Jing Anyao's room in confusion, and was silent for a long time, and then hurriedly walked to Mu Wenran's room. "Sister, open the door, my neighbor's sister-in-law asked me to bring you osmanthus cake."
