Chapter 140 False alarm
Mrs. Li didn't bother to talk to her much, so she helped her mother to get up and made a gesture to go out.
Qiao Linzi suddenly panicked, struggled several times, but couldn't get up from the ground, and finally it was the grandmother beside her who helped her.
Her arm trembled and leaned on Mama Qiao, and Qiao Linzi couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
"Miss, don't worry." Mama Qiao's calm voice was like a heavenly sound, and Qiao Linzi regained a little sense.
Aiming at Mama Qiao's determined eyes, Qiao Linzi straightened up and followed Mrs. Li.
The Li family's treasury is divided into two kinds, one is the inner courtyard treasury, those who give gifts on weekdays, and those that can be stored, are placed in the inner courtyard treasury, and then they are sent out to give gifts when necessary.
There is also the outer courtyard warehouse.
It is said that it is the outer courtyard warehouse, but in fact, it is not in the outer courtyard of the Li Mansion, but elsewhere, it is a warehouse rented by the Li family, which is dedicated to storing medicinal materials.
The medicinal materials that are collected from their own medicine fields and collected from the outside are stored there and supplied according to the needs of customers, so there are many stocks in the warehouse.
This is also where Mrs. Li has confidence.
The warehouse of the Li family's outer courtyard stores medicinal materials that can be used for three years in the major medical centers and pharmacies in Jincheng.
Of course, the Li family's business is not limited to Jincheng, but also in the surrounding area.
The Qiao family has been developing rapidly in recent years, but the Li family has stopped moving, which is related to Li Ruicheng's ability. He can keep the business and connections left by his father is already the limit, these years, if it weren't for Qiao Xingbang's big name and no danger under the protection of his brother-in-law, the Li family may not even be able to keep this bit of family business.
But Mrs. Li doesn't think so, in her eyes, the Li family is the top person in Jincheng businessmen, it was, it is, and it will be in the future.
So for the Qiao family, for Qiao Linzi, and Mrs. Li is complicated.
Sitting in a carriage, the group arrived at the Li family's warehouse.
This is the north of the city, is the government specially set aside the area, this area is all warehouses, there are large and small, belonging to the public property, leased, are Jincheng merchants.
From tea and silk to medicinal herbs and porcelain, there are different types, including almost all the inventory of Jincheng merchants.
Naturally, safety is of particular importance here.
This warehouse has official patrols, the time is uncertain, the route is uncertain, but the time of shift change is fixed.
In addition to this, tenants can hire their own caretakers.
Fireworks are strictly forbidden here, it is impossible to make a fire for cooking, and each tenant has paid a large security deposit when renting, and during the lease period, if there is no fire caused by negligence, the silver will be returned to the merchant, and if anyone caused the fire, the compensation is not a small amount after investigation.
Merchants pay attention to this, so for so many years, there has been no fire here, as for the theft of inventory, there must be a small number, and all cases have been solved.
As soon as Qiao Linzi got out of the carriage, she was about to turn around and help Mrs. Li, she and Mama Li's hands reached over at the same time, and through the curtain, Mrs. Li accurately put her hand on Mama Li's hand.
Qiao Linzi was embarrassed for a moment, and withdrew her hand stupidly, her drooping eyes brewing with monstrous hatred.
"Old lady, lady." When the steward heard the news, he hurried over with the booklet.
Old Madam Li nodded arrogantly, "It's okay today, Lin Zi and I will come over to take a look." ”
"It's the old lady, and the small booklet was also brought." The steward knew that Mrs. Li was in a hurry, and she had brought everything with her.
Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, looking at the two warehouses around, these two warehouses belong to the Li family, and they are stored separately according to utility and price, so it can be said that the Li family's family is all here.
Mrs. Li is also poor, so she especially likes to hoard things, medicinal materials are like this, and small objects are also like this, before Qiao Linzi coaxed and deceived those from Qiao Lixi, and honored her part, she accepted it into her own small warehouse, but later Qiao Linzi took it back, for this reason, she not only annoyed Qiao Linzi, but also hated Qiao Lixi.
"Let's start with an ordinary storeroom."
The steward glanced at Qiao Linzi, who nodded slightly.
The group entered the storeroom.
The warehouse looks very large, but it is divided into different areas and stores different medicinal materials, so it is clear at a glance.
Mrs. Li took the booklet in the steward's hand, looked at the number registered on it, and checked the number of deposits, and Mama Li followed cautiously behind her. Mrs. Li enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and being on top.
The older she gets, the more she pays attention to these, even if the business is handed over to her son, she doesn't let go of the treasury.
After all, his son's ability is limited, and it is enough for him to be sad to be able to figure out the mess outside, and the sorting and registration of the treasury is cumbersome, and his son should have a good rest when he comes back.
After Qiao Linzi entered the door, in order to show her generosity, she happily handed over the warehouse to Qiao Linzi. Revisiting the old place, Mrs. Li gradually rose in her heart the ambitions of the past.
"I read that it is written in this booklet that there are batches of codonopsis and barley to be sent out tomorrow."
"Yes, old lady. The medicinal materials were set a year ago, and this batch of goods came back, and after registration, Ming'er will send them over. The steward hurriedly replied.
Old Madam Li nodded, "Be careful, they are all old friends, and there is no room for mistakes." ”
The steward was busy responding.
The group soon arrived at the second storeroom.
Some of the precious medicinal materials are stored here, all of which have been ordered by someone, just waiting for someone to send them over. So this warehouse has specially hired guards, all of whom are men who know kung fu.
Because they were all female dependents, these guards were all guarding outside, and Mrs. Li led people in.
Mama Qiao, who had been following Qiao Linzi, was gone, and Qiao Linzi hurriedly followed two steps and followed closely behind Mrs. Li.
"What's on it?" Old Madam Li asked, pointing to the boxes on the shelves.
"Back to the old lady, that's the medicinal materials of 'Jishitang', and someone from Ming'er came to pick up the goods."
"Take it down and I'll see."
The Li family received an order from the hospital or pharmacy, prepared the medicine, or delivered it to their door, or they picked it up themselves.
The process of distribution is done by the Li family's own pharmacists, and after it is finished, it is handed over to the steward for verification, sealed, and then inspected on the spot after the medicinal materials are delivered to the merchants. Several masters of the Li family occasionally inspect a few when they inspect the warehouse, so the steward doesn't think it's strange.
Lifting up his robe, the steward prepared to climb onto the shelves.
"I'll do it anyway, your leg injury isn't healed yet." Qiao Linzi said inappropriately.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
The steward hurriedly smiled and explained, "Old lady, the villain broke his leg and twisted his waist before. ”
Mrs. Li didn't think much about it, she just thought that the steward was climbing up and down the shelves and accidentally fell.
Although there are workers in the warehouse, sometimes they want to save trouble and hurry, and the person in charge will also go into battle in person.
How could Old Madam Li let Qiao Linzi climb onto the shelves?
But after all the words have been said, you can't change your words, right?
So he glanced at the grandmother beside him.
The latter understood and immediately hit the shelves.
Finding the box that Mrs. Li wanted to check, Mama Li clasped the box with both hands and retreated with difficulty.
Mama Li is already old, her body is fat, and she follows Mrs. Li to show off her power on weekdays, when has she ever done such a thing?
The center of gravity was unstable, and the foot on the escalator slipped, and the whole person fell backwards.
Qiao Linzi exclaimed.
Old Madam Li had already made a move to avoid Mama Li, who had fallen, but she was frightened by Qiao Linzi's voice, and her movements were sluggish by half a beat.
Qiao Linzi was quick-eyed, and pushed Mrs. Li on the spot, and the two of them fell together.
"Ahh
Mrs. Li's pig-like howl sounded particularly terrifying.
Mama Li also screamed again and again.
Qiao Linzi was relatively better, with a pale face, slumped on the ground and unable to speak.
The steward was so frightened that the corners of his eyes jumped, and he hurriedly called the people outside to ask for a doctor.
"Ma'am." Mama Qiao got out of nowhere, and when she crossed the escalator, she touched the layer where Mama Li's feet slipped.
"I'm fine, go see the old lady." A cold sweat broke out on Qiao Linzi's forehead.
Old Madam Li's face was pale, she was already speechless in pain, and her eyes gradually became dilated.
"Old lady!"
"Old lady!"
Mama Li rushed towards Mrs. Li.
The group went out in a big way, and came back injured and disabled.
After sending Mrs. Li back to the courtyard first, Qiao Linzi returned to the main courtyard in a sedan chair.
"Miss." Mama Qiao looked at Qiao Linzi distressedly.
Qiao Linzi's face recovered a little, and she was still blue, I don't know if she was scared or hurt, "I'm fine, the old witch is worse than me." ”
Mama Qiao said disapprovingly: "For the sake of a Qiu Hong, it's not worth it." ”
"Why isn't it worth it?" Qiao Linzi retorted, "Besides, this is not just Shiro's business, it is our future, as well as Jue Ge'er and Rui Ge'er. ”
Mama Qiao sighed, knowing that Qiao Linzi couldn't listen to her, so she had to deliberately say, "Miss, are you sure that the two little masters will ......"
Let's not talk about what reason to leave, even Brother Jue and Brother Rui, the Li family will never let go.
The two of them are the species of the Li family, and they are so promising, the Li family will let people go. Moreover, it is not difficult to imagine that if the young lady wants to reconcile with her uncle, she will definitely make a fuss, how can it be so easy.
Qiao Linzi didn't care, and there was a smile on her lips, "If I propose to make peace, it will definitely not work, but if Li Ruicheng made a mistake himself, or a well-known big mistake, it will be different." As for Jue Ge'er and Rui Ge'er, they are the Li family's species, yes, but they were also born to me, if their father disgraced them, would they still recognize this father? ”
Mama Qiao frowned.
In this way, the young lady has even calculated how to frame her uncle, how to find a reason and leave.
But is it really that easy?
Even if the uncle made a big mistake and made the two young masters ashamed, as long as the uncle didn't let go, the two young masters would be from the Li family!
The two little young masters are so promising, the eldest young master is taken by his aunt and carefully taught, and he will inherit the Li family's business in the future, and the second young master is even more powerful, he is already a child at a young age, and he will be a talented master in the future, a master who lifts people, and even an official in the court!
The Li family has only two young masters, and they have a great future, how can they let it go so easily.
