Chapter 341: On the Way Home
Behind the cabinet is a solid wall, and there are no signs of damage. Could it be that this thief will fly away?
"Has everything been checked? Are these cabinets the only ones missing? Shen Yafei's gaze swept over the pharmacy.
"yes." The shopkeeper sighed and said bitterly, "Pick our most expensive medicine to steal." ”
Shen Yafei saw that his eyes were blue, and knew that he was distressed that he had not rested for several days. The sad look on his face made Shen Yafei feel a little uncomfortable, and she said, "Let's close down for a few days, let's investigate this matter well." ”
The shopkeeper paused for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is not very good." Since the last war in the capital, most of the people in the capital have come to our pharmacy to buy medicine. What if we turn it off and they want to buy medicine? And what about those patients? ”
This shopkeeper was hired by Zhiyan after the war, and the shopkeeper used to be a barefoot doctor in the rivers and lakes, who came to the capital to give free medical treatment to the wounded after the war. During his free clinic period, he has been with Shen Yafei and Dayin, and he has seen the powerful medical skills of the people around Shen Yafei and the amazing effect of the medicine, so he relied on Shen Yafei after the free clinic, so Shen Yafei asked Zhiyan to arrange for him to be the shopkeeper in a pharmacy, and at the same time serve as a doctor.
After the war in the capital ended, Shen Yafei's pharmacy added several more. Since the people in the capital knew that the epidemic that broke out after the war was cured by Shen Yafei, after the epidemic, most of them chose to purchase medicinal materials and see a doctor in the pharmacy under Shen Yafei's name, and the price of Shen Yafei's pharmacy is generally one-third lower than that of others or average, so usually, the pharmacy is crowded with people.
This shopkeeper is also a soft-hearted man who can't see others suffering, so after closing the store, the first thing he thinks of is the patients who see patients in the store and the patients who have been taking medicine here.
"Haven't you noticed anything unusual in your life? Of all the medicines, only the best ones were stolen, and apparently this person was very knowledgeable about the situation in our store. Xu Shizi picked it up and said.
"Nope." The shopkeeper shook his head, and Wan Er was also at a loss.
Shen Yafei understands that in addition to the shopkeeper in this store, there is only one person, Wan Er, and his job is usually only to help catch medicinal materials, and often have to go out to enter medicinal materials, this store is basically supported by the shopkeeper alone. This store is completely too busy with these two people alone, so it is understandable that the two of them did not find any unusual people entering the store.
So, Shen Yafei turned to Zhiyan and said, "You can arrange more people to come to the store." ”
This point was newly opened after the war, and it was also opened in a relatively deep alley, just to make it easier and cheaper for the people living in this backward alley to see a doctor. Therefore, Zhiyan originally thought that there would not be too many people here, so he did not arrange too many people. But who knew that the people outside knew that there was a pharmacy here that was cheap, the doctor was powerful, and the medicinal herbs were particularly effective, so they all poured over.
"Okay."
"Pharmacies have to be closed for two days." Shen Yafei undoubtedly decided, "In the past two days, you must list all the people you can think of who have come to our store, and it is best to be able to list where they come from." Be sure to find him! ”
"Yes." Wan Er replied immediately, and the shopkeeper opened his mouth and immediately responded.
After Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi observed the store inside and out several times, they made no new discoveries, so they took the carriage and started to return home.
When the carriage arrives at South Street, it is already the time to catch the market, and the bustling crowd on the street will block the road, and the carriage will not be able to gallop smoothly, but can only move slowly like a snail. The sound of hawking on the street clearly came to her ears, and Shen Yafei couldn't help but lift the curtain and poke out.
There was a stall selling steamed buns on the street on the left, and a customer came over: "I want a steamed bun." ”
"Great!" The stall owner shouted and lightly opened the lid, and the aroma of the filling and flour came out.
"Grunt", Shen Yafei licked her lips as she looked at the steaming package on the cage.
Xu Shizi knocked on the car door, and Cheng Fang's voice came in: "The subordinates are here." ”
"Go buy a basket of steamed buns." Xu Shizi threw a bulging purse outside the car door.
"Yes!"
Shen Yafei noticed the movement here, and knew that Xu Shizi had already asked people to go down to buy steamed buns, so she instantly smiled and warmed up the carriage. After a while, Cheng Fang took a lotus leaf bag and handed it into the carriage.
The heat and aroma of the steamed buns pass through the lotus leaves, and there is also the aroma of lotus leaves, which makes the taste even more attractive. Shen Yafei couldn't wait to take it, but the lotus leaf bag was still very hot. Shen Yafei hurriedly shook her hand, and the lotus leaf bag suddenly flew to the side.
A powerful palm caught the lotus leaf bag steadily. Xu Shizi opened the lotus leaf, picked up the bun, and fed it to Shen Yafei's mouth with his own hands.
Shen Yafei lowered her head and took a gentle bite, the filling and the bun skin fused together, forming a delicious taste on the tongue. It's a refreshing smell that will never be forgotten. Shen Yafei was a little reluctant to swallow it, because the taste it left on the tip of her tongue was so delicious. Shen Yafei took a bite and licked the soup left on her lips intoxicated.
In an instant, this bun also had an irresistible temptation in Xu Shizi's eyes, he withdrew his hand and took a bite of the place where Shen Yafei had bitten: "Wow, it's delicious." Xu Shizi nodded his head in praise without hesitation.
"Why didn't you find this place before?" For missing the whole food for so many years, Xu Shizi felt a little puzzled.
"Shizi, you have never been to this place before, how did you know that there are such delicious buns here?" Cheng Fang sat in front of the car door and heard Xu Shizi's exclamation, and responded with a smile.
"Well, too." Xu Shizi sighed.
"Weren't you the little overlord of the capital before? How can there be a place where you can't be? Shen Yafei teased.
Xu Shizi coughed embarrassedly, and then said, "I was only active in two or three lively areas before. Besides, how can I be said to be a bully, I have never bullied ordinary people. My good young man is called righteous and courageous. ”
"Yes, but people tremble at the mention of your name. The prestige of a good young man is a little excessive! Shen Yafei couldn't help but sneer.
Xu Shizi glanced at Shen Yafei complainingly, but people didn't care at all, they were eating steamed buns happily. Xu Shizi shook his head bitterly, picked up another bun, stuffed it into his mouth twice, and put the whole thing in his mouth.
Shen Yafei covered her mouth and smiled, then picked up a bun from the lotus leaf bag and handed it to Xu Shizi's mouth. Xu Shizi paused, glanced at her, and Shen Yafei looked at herself with a smile, and unconsciously opened her mouth, and Shen Yafei took the opportunity to put the bun into Xu Shizi's mouth.
Xu Shizi's eyebrows and eyes instantly expanded, and the corners of his mouth rose high.
After eating the buns, the carriage passed by two stalls. The speed was too slow, and there was a loud shouting and discussion outside the carriage, which made the carriage even more cramped. Shen Yafei felt that the space was a little stuffy, and her breathing was not very comfortable.
Xu Shizi always paid attention to Shen Yafei's every move, so Xu Shizi saw the change in her expression. So, he lifted the curtain of the car window and glanced out of the window several times. Then, he lowered the curtains and instructed Cheng Fang, who was sitting at the front of the car, "Go to the teahouse in front and stop." ”
"Yes."
It took a while for the car to stop. Xu Shizi got out of the car first, and then helped Shen Yafei down. As soon as you get off the carriage, you can see the shop in front of you that is obviously better than the surrounding small shops. Once inside, the environment inside is as surprising as the entrance of the store.
Xiao Er saw that the two people who came in were gorgeously dressed and exuded nobility, so he hurriedly bowed over and greeted: "What do the two distinguished guests want to drink?" ”
Xu Shizi glanced at the crowded inquiry, and his eyebrows tightened.
The sharp-eyed Xiao Er immediately said: "We also have a place on the second floor, so it's better for the two of you to go this way with the little one." ”
Xu Shizi nodded.
"The second floor is a larger space, and there is a screen between each table, which is much quieter, and it is easier to look down on the first floor from the second floor." Xiao Er explained as he led Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi in the direction of the stairs.
It's still early at this time, so the second floor is still very empty, and Xiao Er specially jumped a position for them that would not be disturbed by others, and the view was very good. After sitting down, Xiao Er asked Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei what they wanted, and went down.
The woman downstairs finished playing the erhu and retreated. Next an old man came to the stage, and as soon as the old man came up, there was an uproar in the lobby on the first floor.
"Today, the old man wants to tell a good story of a talented and beautiful woman." The old man shook his head while knocking on the fan in his hand, and blinked mysteriously.
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi clearly saw the old man's expression, and shook his head with a smile. So it's a mess!
But the people in the lobby didn't seem to think so, and they sat up straight, put down the things they were playing with, and looked forward to it. However, the old man did not seem to be in a hurry, he let go of the cups and tea bowls stacked on the table, and washed the teacups carefully with tea.
After washing the teacup for the last time, the old man clamped the teacup with tweezers, trying to drain the last drop of water out of the teacup. Half an hour later, the old man put down the teacup.
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi both showed a look of boredom on their faces. However, when they saw that the people in the lobby downstairs were still looking at the old man on the stage with admiration, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi couldn't help but feel funny. What is there to admire about this tricky old guy, if it were their storefront, this old guy would have been kicked out a long time ago.
