Chapter 163: There are not enough special medicinal materials
Next, Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi divided into two ways, on the one hand, they went to the pharmacy in the city to collect those ordinary medicinal materials in large quantities, and on the other hand, Dongfang Yi took Su Yan to the medicine farmers' homes outside the city to collect medicinal materials, but because those medicinal materials were not easy to sell, their families also hoarded a lot.
"This is the fifth, and the medicinal materials that can be collected are not enough for ten people in the army, so if it goes down to the specified time for handing over medicinal materials, it will not be handed over at all." Dongfang Yi pounded the car worriedly.
"It's not a matter of urgency, those big pharmacies in Chengli of this kind of medicinal materials must have stockpiled goods, and they are waiting for the market to need it, raise the price, and make a lot of money." Su Yan took a sip of wine and analyzed it with a mouthful of wine.
Dongfang Yi also realized the problem that Su Yan said, when he went to those pharmacies to ask about the herbs, those shopkeepers all replied in a hesitant manner, and they looked like they had something to hide.
"I also thought of this, but people said no, we can't go to the door to rob it, what's the difference between that and robbers." Dongfang Yi complained a little.
"No wonder it's a reader, this head is read as an elm head, since we can't grab it, let's let them take it out obediently." Su Yan teased Dongfang Yi's head.
"What do you mean?" Dongfang Yi's head seems to be really a little wooden.
"Is the military order in your hand a piece of waste paper? It's a shame that I've been with you for so long and I'm still so stupid, don't say you know my miracle doctor when you go out, shame! Su Yan patted Dongfang Yi's bear mouth and emphasized.
Dongfang Yi touched his chest as if he had thought of something, and smiled at Su Yan, but he continued to drink disdainfully.
The two men returned empty-handed, in vain.
Nalan Jin's side went quite smoothly, and he quickly collected all the medicinal materials at a price twice as high as the market.
Nalan Jin's purchase of medicinal materials in the city soon reached the ears of Master Qian, and his days, which had been stable for a few days, began to shake again.
"What you said is true?" Master Qian looked at the official family questioningly.
"This kind of thing, how can the old slave joke, the people on the street know about it, the medicinal materials of those pharmacies have been purchased, and even some small pharmacies have been emptied." The housekeeper looked at Master Qian seriously.
"Hmph, it's really not a fuel-efficient lamp, it's all because this leper is unreliable, which makes me fall into a dilemma again and again." Master Qian angrily and complained, pinching the lion's head in his hand.
"So what do we do now?" The housekeeper then asked.
"You find the leper, Nalan Jin, the thorn in the eye, must be eliminated this time no matter what." When Master Qian said this, his eyes were full of murderous energy.
The housekeeper looked at Master Qian's appearance, and he felt a little scared, and couldn't help but shudder.
The leper's money was almost spent, and he happened to hear about Nalan Jin's movements in the city recently, thinking that Master Qian must be restless again, so he took advantage of this juncture to find Master Qian.
"No need to look for it, I'm here." The leper dragged himself and twisted his hips to the antechamber.
As soon as Master Qian heard the rogue voice of the leper, he immediately turned his head and glared at him.
"You still have a face, I think you're healed, the scar forgot the pain. Someone who comes will chop off a finger again, but the punishment of taking money to do things is not good. Master Qian shouted.
"It doesn't matter if you chop off one of my fingers, but who will help you get rid of the big trouble." The leper looked at Master Qian fearlessly.
After eating a prison meal, I feel that the leper seems to have a little more brains, and he is no longer the brute who only cares about taking money and reckless about the consequences, or even knows how to take money and doesn't know how to use his brain.
This is the result of eating a trench and growing a wisdom.
"You still dare to threaten me, master? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Master Qian snorted coldly when he saw this leper.
A person like Mr. Qian, who is rich and has a good relationship with the yamen, solves everything with money, so he has always been dismissive of threats to others.
Especially people like leprosy who are not qualified to threaten at all are even more disregarded.
"It's not a threat to Master Qian, I'm just seeking truth from facts, Nalan Jin's matter is not good for me, you should be punished, and this finger will be returned to you." The leper put his hand in front of Master Qian and asked him to chop.
Mr. Qian looked at the finger he chopped off last time, which was almost good, but there was a missing section that made people feel a little palpitation.
"Since you scold me like this, I'll give you one last chance to let Nalan Jin disappear from under my nose." At the last moment, Mr. Qian decided to give the leper a chance.
According to the previous style of doing things, Mr. Qian would give the leper a little deposit, and after the matter was completed, he would give him the rest of the money.
When Master Qian asked the housekeeper to give the silver to the leper, he didn't accept it, which made Mr. Qian make a great change in his opinion of the leper and have a new recognition of him.
"Hey, a person who lives on money refuses money for the first time, but it makes me suddenly look at you differently." Master Qian looked at the leper and turned the lion's head in his hand with interest.
"Sir, you keep me a finger is the greatest mercy to me." The leper raised his hand.
"Okay, if this thing happens, I will thank you again, haha......"
Master Qian laughed heartily, and the leper also twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was an inscrutable expression on his face.
Dongfang Yi returned home disappointed, stood at the door of the house, and watched Nalan Jin, who was full of joy from afar, running over, and felt that her psychology was not a good feeling, but he didn't want her to worry, so he barely put a smile on his face.
"Hmph, you have to die to save face and live to suffer." Su Yan snorted unaccustomed and returned to his yard.
"What's wrong with Su Yan?" Nalan Jin looked at Su Yan walking past him with an unhappy face, and didn't pay attention to greetings.
"It's okay, maybe I'm tired all the way, and I've finished drinking again, it's inevitable to be a little emotional, let's go back first." Dongfang Yi touched Nalan Jin's forehead.
Nalan Jin nodded silently, followed Dongfang Yi's side, and knew at a glance that he must have something on his mind, but she didn't want to say it, so she had to stay by his side and be a quiet companion.
In the past few days, Nalan Zhen also asked Uncle Xing to inquire privately and know where Nalan Jin was
The two of them were raising medicinal materials with Dongfang Yi, so they instructed Uncle Xing to dredge those pharmacies in advance and let them transfer the medicinal materials to Nalan Jin.
In this way, Nalan Jin was much easier when he purchased medicinal materials.
Selling Nalan Mansion for a favor, and having money to take, those merchants are happy.
Originally, he planned to give Dongfang Yi the wind and dust, but Dongfang Yi didn't have the heart to face everyone who was full of expectations, so he lied that he was tired and went back to rest first.
"This Dongfang and Jin'er don't know what they're doing behind everyone's backs recently, don't talk about going out early and returning late, everyone is a family, what else is there to hide, don't let us know, forget it, this old man doesn't let him know, I'm afraid that there is something in the middle, right?"
Pei Shi watched Dongfang hastily say hello to Nalan Zhen and leave, muttering in his heart, the previous military order was just hearsay, so it was like taking advantage of this opportunity to sow discord and stepped on the point.
As she spoke, she paid attention to Nalan Zhen's reaction next to her.
"Grandpa, this matter ......" Nalan Jin opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Nalan Zhen.
"I know about this matter, you don't have to talk nonsense here, if you really have the heart, help to sort out all the medicinal materials, if it's okay, help Li Shi watch more Bo'er, recently he is learning to walk when he needs people."
Nalan Zhen frowned and counted Pei's number down, asking her to keep to herself, be a generous virtuous helper, husband and children, instead of worrying about some things that have nothing to do with her all day long.
"Yes, the old man is right, I will take care of Bo'er with my sister. We can only be like this, unlike Jin'er, who is also married, there are such couples, who are busy with business outside every day. Pei Shi lowered his head, but he was still provoking Nalan Jin between his words.
"I can't compare with my sister, I have Bo'er, even if I want to go out, I don't have time, my sister wants to go out and doesn't have that ability." Li Shi hugged Nalan Bo and looked at Pei Shi proudly, looking at her with mocking eyes.
"You!" Pei Shi was once again poked in psychological pain.
As soon as the quarrel between the two women began, Nalan Zhen immediately felt that one head was two big, and three women were in one play, and these two women could hold up half of the field.
"Enough! It's time for Bo'er to take a nap, so don't take him with you soon. Nalan Zhen looked at Li solemnly.
"Yes, old man, then I'll take Bo'er down first."
Li obediently took Nalan Bo away, seeing Nalan Zhen angry, Pei also left after him. As soon as the two of them went out, they began to pinch and bite each other, and no one let anyone, for fear that if they didn't say a word, they would suffer a big loss.
"Grandpa, don't you blame me?" Nalan Jin asked weakly.
"These days, grandpa has also heard a little about your affairs, if there is any difficulty, just say it, everyone will find a way together, you don't say that you have your own reason." Nalan Zhen pretended not to know.
Nalan Jin's psychology felt that a warm current was slowly rising, and she was able to get the affirmation of her family, even if the future was difficult and dangerous, she was fearless.
"Dongfang has received a medicinal order from the military, and we have been busy raising medicinal materials for the past few days, no
Tell grandpa that I'm afraid that you will worry about it, but it's almost already acquired, and grandpa can rest assured. Nalan Jin told Nalan Zhen the ins and outs of the matter.
"That's good, it's just that the mall is like a battlefield, you have to be careful, don't be taken advantage of by some people with a heart." Nalan Zhen remembered what happened before.
"Don't worry, grandpa, I have my own measure."
Nalan Jin smiled and nestled into Nalan Zhen's arms, just like a child, the next generation is the closest. The two of them talked for a long time before Nalan Jin reluctantly returned to the house.
Dongfang Yi leaned over the desk and looked at the medicinal herbs he had withdrawn over and over again, no matter how he calculated it, it was still a lot worse.
