Pick up herbs......

Su Jiudong's mind flashed with inspiration, and he immediately came up with a way to not waste moldy precious medicinal materials, but also to beat the reputation of Renshutang.

After returning to the General's Palace, it was dinner time.

Su Jiudong first faced Wen Yiheng's smiling face and Su Fenglan's resentful face.

Wen Yiheng pulled Su Jiudong to sit down, sent someone to serve tea to Su Jiudong very freely, raised his hand to put vegetables in Su Jiudong's bowl, and asked with a smile: "I happened to talk to General Su about you, General Su said that you have been running to Renshutang every day these days, how is Renshutang's business?" ”

"It's the same, what else?" Su Fenglan's tone was helpless and resentful, still mixed with a faint dissatisfaction with Su Jiudong's refusal to let him patronize the Renshu Hall:

"If I let my dad come forward to support the scene on the opening day, others will have to go into the shop to take a look at my status as a general, and it will not be as unattended and cold as it is now."

Su Jiudong smiled at Su Fenglan, hugged Su Fenglan's arm, and persuaded with a gentle smile:

"As a general, Daddy's every move is naturally eye-catching, but I opened this medicinal restaurant, in case someone knows about this matter and uses this matter to impeach Daddy for business, wouldn't I have cheated my own father and become a sinner?"

Shao Yuemei also joined the ranks of persuasion, took the initiative to put soup in Su Fenglan's bowl, and said softly:

"Miss Jiudong is right, if you let the Holy Lord know that the general has allowed your children to do business, I am afraid that it will be a punishment, and some of them may have to be confined in the mansion, and in the future, the military camp will not be available, where else can you go to exercise and relax, General?"

It takes seven inches to beat a snake.

Shao Yuemei is the one who has been by Su Fenglan's side for a long time, and she is familiar with his work and rest preferences, and she immediately grasped Su Fenglan's key weakness.

Su Fenglan is over forty years old, and it stands to reason that he does not need to inspect the military camp outside the city every day, and if he wants to exercise, he can do it at his own home.

But Su Fenglan refused to accept the old age, and after the morning disbanded, he rode out of the city on horseback, and went to the barracks with his brains, day after day, rain or shine.

"Can this affect me to go to the barracks?" Su Fenglan, who was already in the direction of the wind, suddenly became honest: "Jiu Dong'er, then Daddy should not go to your medicinal restaurant for the time being." I can't stop exercising every day. ”

Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng looked at each other and smiled, Su Jiudong asked curiously: "Daddy, if you really like to keep fit, you can exercise in the house, why do you have to go to the barracks to exercise?" ”

Su Fenglan is that the atmosphere of exercising in the barracks is stronger, and seeing that the young man next to him is in better physique than himself, Su Fenglan can be stimulated and insist on exercising, so he maintains his strong physique.

But Su Fenglan was reluctant to say this reason directly, so he prevaricated:

"Exercising in the barracks can also supervise those stinky boys for being lazy. Don't you know, those children of the official family who were sent to the barracks by the Marquis are used to being lazy one by two, and they are lazy without me! I went just to deal with military affairs, and by the way supervised them. ”

Wen Yiheng smiled and arched his hand: "General Su is still concerned about military affairs at an age when he can enjoy his family, which is really admired by the younger generations. ”

Su Fenglan suddenly became excited, hugged Su Ting'an and said happily: "Enjoy the family? Jiu Dong'er came back this time and brought back her cute baby grandchildren, which just fulfilled my dream of being a grandfather and a junior, and I have no regrets. ”

"There are still regrets..."Wen Yiheng pretended to sigh deeply, and said meaningfully: "Your old man hasn't been able to participate in the marriage ceremony between me and Jiudong, how can you say that there are no regrets?" ”

"That's right! Jiu Dong'er, when are you two going to get married? Is the time set? Su Fenglan looked at Su Jiudong happily and asked: "I don't seem to know the relationship between you and Zichu in the capital, you both have children, and it's time to settle the relationship." ”

Shao Yuemei's yin and yang weird mouth echoed: "Yes, Miss Jiudong is now twenty-three, and she is already an old girl, and this kind of thing is really unprocrastinated." If you delay it any longer, you will be said by others to be 'an old girl that no one wants', which will damage your reputation. ”

Su Jiudong retorted confidently: "I think that twenty-three years old is not old, it is the age of youth. ”

Shao Yuemei covets Su Fenglan, and has been unmarried so far and wants to wait for Su Fenglan to continue, and everyone in the mansion knows it.

Su Jiudong wanted to say to Shao Yuemei: "You, a person who is not married in your thirties, don't fall into the well, but it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”

However, Su Jiudong didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the dinner, so he could only swallow the words in his heart, and replied instead: "I have always discussed the matter of marriage with Ah Heng, but it is always easy to be delayed by this and that matter. ”

"In addition, Ah Heng was framed for corruption and rebellion some time ago, and it was on the cusp of the storm, and I didn't want to add pressure to him. So the matter of getting married can be postponed a little longer, I don't mind. "Fire Book

"Yes, I've been very busy lately, and I only have time to come to the General's Mansion occasionally, and I can only meet at dinner time with Jiudong, both of us have our own things to do, and we can mention the matter of marriage after a while."

Wen Yiheng listened to Su Jiudong and Su Fenglan playing Tai Chi, and also understood that she was not in a hurry to get married for the time being, so she didn't say anything more and lowered her head to eat.

Wen Yiheng was depressed, Su Jiudong pulled his sleeves under the table, but Su Tingan looked at him and shouted: "Auntie, how can you secretly pull Daddy's clothes under the table?" Daddy's clothes are very expensive, and he can't wear them if they are damaged. ”

Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng suddenly blushed, Su Fenglan turned his head away, holding back his smile and not daring to laugh out loud.

At the dinner table, there was no one to speak.

Although Gu Youyun was silent, the silence now is indeed overwhelming.

Shao Yuemei saw that no one started talking, so she mentioned it herself: "The eldest princess of Mingcheng, who returned to Beijing in June and celebrated her birthday for the saint, still wants to accompany the queen mother more, and she does not plan to return to the fiefdom for the time being." She is going to hold a flower-viewing party on the fifth day of the eighth month, and she has already handed the invitation to our house. ”

Su Fenglan was slightly surprised: "Huh? It's a cherry blossom viewing party again... The woman's house will open this and that without stopping. ”

"But it's good for girls to go to cherry blossom viewing parties, it's a good opportunity to make friends. Jiu Dong'er, if you are not busy in the medicinal restaurant at the beginning of August, you can go there, just Zichu will accompany you, and the two of you will exchange feelings. ”

After speaking, Su Fenglan said to himself: "Look at what I said, your medicinal restaurant has no business, where will it be busy......

Su Jiudong stopped eating, and said unconvinced: "Daddy, don't worry, in a short time, my Renshu Hall will definitely have guests to patronize, and it will definitely surprise you when you get busy!" ”

The corners of Wen Yiheng's mouth provoked a smile, and asked softly: "Have you thought of a clever plan?" Let's talk about it. ”

"The Buddha said, don't say it for the time being, when the business of the Renshu Hall gets better, you will naturally know." Su Jiudong smiled evilly and deliberately betrayed the guanzi, and turned his head to accept the invitation of the eldest princess of Mingcheng to enjoy the flowers.

The next day, Su Jiudong came to the back door of Renshu Hall early in the morning, and sure enough, he saw that the two baskets full of moldy medicinal materials yesterday were more than half empty.

Su Jiudong walked into the front yard to find the shopkeeper Wang, and whispered to him: "The medicinal materials in the back warehouse need to be well kept, and when you find that the moldy medicinal materials need to be put in a basket and thrown away, you remember to mix a small part of good medicine in the basket." ”

"Good medicine?" Shopkeeper Wang was puzzled by Su Jiudong's words: "Boss, may I ask if the good medicine you are talking about, do you mean the precious medicine, or the medicine that has not become moldy and spoiled?" ”

"It's both." Su Jiudong explained in more detail: "You can put a little more expensive medicinal materials that are not moldy, and mix them in the moldy medicine." After closing the store, send someone to keep the basket of mold medicine outside the back door. ”

Still unknown to the shopkeeper Wang, he began a small objection: "The owner, so many precious and good medicines, it's a pity to throw away the moldy ones, how can you be willing to throw away the expensive medicinal materials that are not moldy?" Our family's silver and medicinal herbs are not blown by the wind. ”

"I do this for a reason, you just have to do it." Su Jiudong couldn't help but miss the original shopkeeper Liu in Qishan County, he had always done what Su Jiudong told him, and never asked the reason.

Originally, the king's shopkeeper was in the capital, and his personality was much more cautious, and he had to ask about the origin of anything, although he was cautious, but he occasionally delayed things, and there were pros and cons.

Shopkeeper Wang sensed the incompatibility in Su Jiudong's words, so he could only do it.

In addition to taking care of the daily hygiene of the Renshu Hall, it is also important to keep the existing medicinal materials well.

The shopkeeper Wang also sent someone to clean up the mildew medicinal materials in the warehouse every three or two days, and secretly mixed some small expensive good medicines without mildew into the basket containing the mildew medicinal materials, and put them outside the back door after the store was closed.

This continued for eight or nine days. On this day, Su Jiudong deliberately stayed in the Renshu Hall for a long time, nesting behind the counter to read the account books, regretting the daily expenditure items, and waiting until everyone got off work before getting up and leaving.

Su Jiudong slowed down, cautiously touched the back door of the backyard, listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard someone talking outside the back door.

Judging by the voice, it was still a few doctors who came to the backdoor basket to pick up medicinal herbs before.

The doctor who picked up the medicine was puzzled and curious about the fact that he could see good medicinal materials every few days.

One of the doctors asked himself, "Isn't this a horsehead fish?" It's all intact and not moldy, why did you throw it away? Throwing away such expensive medicinal materials, the owner of this Renshu Hall is here to play with money, right? ”

"Maybe it's because they have too many good medicines in the Renshu Hall? That's why every time I accidentally throw out a good medicine as a moldy medicine? The second doctor smiled and picked and choose.

"Throw away all such good medicinal materials, it can be seen that there are so many good medicinal materials in the Renshu Hall." The tone of Dr. Fang's words was full of pity and sighing.
