Chapter 43: Corn Tortillas
Boss Lu said a lot, but didn't mention the word 'staghorn grass'.
"I only care about 'staghorn grass', if it can be sold to us, it is naturally good, if it is inconvenient, we will not be strong." Jiang Ziyan saw that the two old men were more verbose than the other, and hurriedly went straight to the point.
The old woman broke free from Boss Lu, sat down in front of Jiang Ziyan and said: "Old man, the herb dealer who ordered with us has not come yet, and these herbs will fall into our hands if they are put down again, so it is better to let this little brother take it with him, and we can give the owner an explanation, right?" ”
Although the old woman was sitting in front of Jiang Ziyan, she was talking to her old man.
Jiang Ziyan saw that they were talking and hiding, so he made it clear: "If there is anything difficult to do, just say it, if we can satisfy your best efforts." ”
"This little brother is quick to talk, let's be honest, my old man does have what you want, but if you want to take away the 'staghorn grass', you need to take away the other herbs that the medicine farmer has stored in us." The old woman no longer hid it this time, and said it in one go.
It turned out to be like this, it was too simple.
Originally, Jiang Ziyan thought about going to Erlang Mountain, picking 'staghorn grass' at the same time, and picking some other herbs by the way, so as to fill the herbs in his own 'Baicaotang' pharmacy.
Although Dr. Xu Shichang, the shopkeeper of 'Baicaotang', never complains in front of him, he tries to carry everything by himself, and he still has to share what he can share.
At that moment, Jiang Ziyan slapped the board: "Two old men, don't worry, if this condition is the case, it's nothing, I will take all the herbs away." ”
The old woman and Boss Lu are there, although they open an inn here, and there are herb dealers who buy and sell herbs here, in fact, they can't make a lot of money, otherwise they won't be tired of working themselves when they are old, and they can't even afford to hire a buddy.
"What you said is true?" The old woman asked, stretching her neck and stretching out her face in front of Jiang Ziyan.
Boss Lu pulled up the old woman again and let the old woman behind him.
"Then ask the guest officer to go to the warehouse with the little old man to have a look." After speaking, he went inside to get the lantern, and when he arrived in the hall, he greeted Jiang Ziyan and walked out.
Jiang Ziyan stood up and followed, Ye Yu and Ye Cicada naturally wanted to follow, and the old woman also came out with a deep foot and a shallow heel.
There is a brick house next to the inn, which is much better than the house of this inn.
Boss Lu opened the door and entered Jiang Ziyan's eyes, and what they saw was a room full of medicinal herbs.
"These are all medicinal herbs that have been stored here by medicine farmers in the past few years, if the guest officer can bring them, it is naturally good, if they can't be taken away, the little old man is not strong." Boss Lu pointed to the room full of herbs.
Seeing so many medicinal herbs, Jiang Ziyan, who was born as a medical practitioner, really liked it more than seeing silver, but with so many medicinal herbs, how to transport them away became a problem.
Seeing that Jiang Ziyan hesitated, Boss Lu said: "If the guest officer doesn't have much silver on him, he can take as much as he can, and if he can take it all, Xiao Lao'er can provide a vehicle to the guest officer." ”
Jiang Ziyan felt that he was simply a good star, all of a sudden, there was 'staghorn grass', there were herbs, and even the means of transportation didn't have to worry about himself, coming to this other world, this first time going out was so smooth, don't be so lucky.
"As for Boss Yilu, I took all these herbs with me, but I need to inspect the 'staghorn grass'."
Originally, I came for the 'staghorn grass', but if it was a fake, it was a trivial matter to be deceived, and the production of 'palace powder' was delayed, so I was sorry for the care of the queen mother and her old man over the years for the 'five perfume powder shop'.
"It should be, it should be." The old woman was as welcoming as ever.
Everyone returned to the inn hall, Boss Lu brought a big box from behind, put it on the table and opened it, and a dark fragrance wafted out.
Jiang Ziyan saw that it was the 'staghorn grass' that he had seen in the shopkeeper Fang, especially the refreshing taste, which lingered in front of him.
"This was picked last year, this year is the harvest season, but the little old man is old and frail, and he no longer wants to venture on the cliff, if the little old man has a good one, my old wife will have no one to accompany him."
Boss Lu opened the wooden box and pointed to the herbs lying inside.
"It turns out that Boss Lu also personally went up the mountain to collect medicine, which is really commendable." Jiang Ziyan admired Boss Lu for his age, and he was able to go to the cliff to collect medicinal herbs, and praised him sincerely.
I heard that this was last year, and this year's one was still growing on the mountain and didn't care about going up to pick it, Jiang Ziyan moved his mind again.
"Boss Lu told us where this thing grows, tomorrow we will go to the mountains to pick it ourselves, rest assured, we will take care of the herbs you have here."
After Jiang Ziyan finished speaking, he took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is a fixed money, wait for Boss Lu to load the car, and we will make up for the rest." ”
Seeing that it was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, Boss Lu's lips trembled and said, "I don't need so much, it's just some medicinal herbs, it's not worth so much." ”
Boss Lu is a sincere person, Jiang Ziyan originally didn't understand the price of these herbs, if Boss Lu asked for the price, Jiang Ziyan would really be deceived.
"It's okay, Boss Lu just takes it, and it should be the reward you deserve for telling us the news of 'Antler Grass'." Jiang Ziyan saw that Boss Lu was a sincere person, and he didn't take back the extra money.
The old woman was originally sitting next to Jiang Ziyan, and she almost jumped up with joy and said, "The old woman is going to cook, let's continue chatting while eating." After saying that, he walked away.
It turned out that this Lu boss was a medicine farmer at the foot of Erlang Mountain, and often dealt with merchants who came to purchase medicinal herbs from all over the world, and later, with the help of a merchant, built this inn to entertain herb merchants and herb farmers who collected herbs from all over the world, and collected herbs in ordinary times, and when the herb merchants came, they didn't have to look around, and the medicine farmers no longer worried that the herbs they picked could not be sold.
In his spare time, Boss Lu also personally went up the mountain to collect medicine, like this 'staghorn grass', which is not something that ordinary medicine farmers can collect, in order to satisfy the merchant, Boss Lu had to go up the mountain in person.
"Is there very little 'staghorn grass'? So it's not easy to collect? "Jiang Ziyan is still concerned about 'staghorn grass'.
"It's not like that, although 'staghorn grass' grows on the cliff, it is not a scarce thing, and there are few traders who usually buy it, but this merchant of mine named 'staghorn grass', and I am the only one who has this herb here, and other medicine farmers never pick this thing." Boss Lu said that if it weren't for the businessman's name, 'staghorn grass' would really be worthless.
It turns out that this is the case, Jiang Ziyan is very much looking forward to tomorrow's trip to Erlang Mountain.
Although the old woman is old, she is really good at cooking, and she will come out with a large pot of vegetables after a while.
Jiang Ziyan saw that there were all kinds of green vegetables in the pot, as well as tofu and large pieces of meat, and even chicken heads and chicken feet.
It's a pot of food that resembles a modern cauldron dish.
Boss Lu took the basin and put it on the table, and the old woman brought three bowls and chopsticks and a basket of corn flour cakes.
Corn flour tortillas may be the staple food here, in the previous life, I wanted to eat a meal of cornmeal, and I got a reservation from a store specializing in coarse grains, and now I see this corn flour tortilla, which is particularly kind.
The leafhopper grew up in the military camp, so it is naturally used to suffering, not to mention cornmeal, even bark and grass roots, and it can be eaten when you are hungry.
Ye Yu took a piece of cake and handed it to Jiang Ziyan: "Young Master, let's eat." ”
The leafhopper stood up and served the vegetables to the bowl.
Jiang Ziyan took the cake, saw the two old men standing beside him, and said, "We can take care of ourselves, we don't have to worry about it here, you can also eat." ”
Boss Lu was a little embarrassed and said: "Xiao Lao'er wants to ask the guest officer if he needs a rope for climbing, if he does, Xiao Lao'er has it here." ”
Jiang Ziyan was negligent in this matter, and when he saw Boss Lu mention it, he said: "Thank you Boss Lu for reminding me, please prepare it for Boss Lu, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Boss Lu and the old woman were just about to respond, when there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer.
The old woman looked at Boss Lu and was speechless in shock, didn't she say that the war was over?
Jiang Ziyan and Ye Yu leafhoppers naturally heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they heard that there were a lot of people.
Ye Yu Ye Cicada was also a little surprised at first, seeing Jiang Ziyan sitting there quietly eating, he put his heart in his stomach, and with Miss Biao there, he was not afraid of anything.
